[Riku's not really sure why he was so worried about this sort of conversation with Sora. Sora's just so incredibly steady in his relationships, it makes Riku a little envious -- and it makes him want to be like him in that way.
he's about to say something, but then Sora pulls him into the hug. Riku's kind of surprised for a moment, sitting there awkwardly as his brain tries to process it. his eyes are stinging even worse and there's an uncomfortable pressure in his chest as he tries to urge himself to do something. to stay calm.
instead, he just wraps his arms around Sora, holding him close. Sora's warmth and scent is so incredibly comforting, after searching for him for so long.
and even though this was a dream world, it doesn't feel like a dream right now. it feels incredibly real, even though there's still some part of him that's surprised this is all even happening. how lucky he'd been, for once, to have things go his way the first time.
there's an almost desperate way that he gives Sora his own squeeze, chin on Sora's shoulder as he stares at the wall behind him to try to ground himself. he forces his breathing to remain constant and normal, and to think of anything else than the way he's feeling.
but he loosens his grip on the other boy a few moments later, if only to wipe one of his eyes with the back of his hand before they inevitably pulled away and Sora saw the emotion on his face.
he laughs at the comment, his voice still a little shaky.]
Like I'm ever letting you out of my sight again. You get into all sorts of trouble without me.
