[Leaning against Riku a little more heavily, he sighs, shaking his head.]

You know, if you don't agree with something, i'm not going to bite your head off for speaking your mind, Riku. [Because even if he can't tell to easily, the pauses kind of give him away.]

[curepotion]

Everyone else seems to. [ he mutters quietly, keeping his eyes away from hanna. he gives a low exhale before; ] It's nothing. Don't worry about it, just me thinking.

[falkeditupagain]

Well I'm not going to.

[Still, he figures he should drop it, since they had been doing so well...] Anyways, how is it with Terra? Do you guys um, sleep in the same room when you're over there?

[And he's not asking to be nosy, just...] I mean, do you sleep a little easier?

[curepotion]

[ way to light him up like a christmas tree. ]

Uh--I--!

[ nngh. he puts a hand against his face. ]

Yeah, we do. The nightmares are still bad, it's just... [ he looks at the ground, a little subdued. ] better to wake up with someone there.

[falkeditupagain]

[Hanna is at least a little more gentle than some people.] I know how that is. Kind of nice to be warm, and held...not have to worry about being alone, or waiting out the night by yourself.

[curepotion]

... is it bad to want that, just for a little while?

[ it's out before riku can really realize himself, but hanna seemed to understand when it came down to the similar way of protectiveness between their boyfriends... he'd understand this, too, right? ]

[falkeditupagain]

You could want it forever and still be okay, Riku.

[curepotion]

[ the way he looks at hanna, it's obvious he's always thought the opposite. ]

Really?

[falkeditupagain]

Really. You know, even people who like to stick to themselves still enjoy human contact every once in a while.

It's in human nature to be social...Just like you need the sun, it gives you vitamin D that helps balance your moods. Socializing is the same way. So no one can blame you for wanting to be held. It's something everyone wants at some point. [He's going to just smile at him and gently nudge his side.]

I'm sure Terra doesn't mind holding you either. It's kind of a give and take thing, everyone is happy.

[curepotion]

[ he looks a little embarrassed when hanna reminds him that terra probably doesn't mind holding him--no, he figures terra likes it, with the frequency he does hold him... ]

I guess so, right? Just... feels weird, sometimes. [ he shrinks a little. ] Like... I'm bothering him. Even if I know he wants to do it--

[falkeditupagain]

Hey, I know how that is. I felt like I was being creepy or weird when I asked if I could move myself into Lea's room...but he offered first and I still felt bad about it.

It just comes with being used to not having that, I guess.

[curepotion]

I guess so.

... thanks.

[falkeditupagain]

You're very welcome. And, yanno. I'm always here to talk if you want to talk about something right?

[curepotion]

Yeah, I know, Dad. [ he half-laughs. ]

[falkeditupagain]

[God, don't do that Riku. It kind of makes him smile that stupid, watery smile and he doesn't like it when you see because gosh. Embarrassing.]

Just remember the answer is always no when you ask to borrow the car, everything else is eligible for debate.

[curepotion]

Oh, come on. You're gonna have to let me grow up sometime.

[ teasing, of course. that watery smile makes him that much fonder. ]

[falkeditupagain]

Maybe on the weekends, but that's me being nice.

[curepotion]

[ a chuckle. ]

Man, you just don't lighten up, huh.

[falkeditupagain]

Nope. Just, mister serious all the time.

You can see the stick up my ass all the way from space.

[curepotion]

I thought we were talking about you, not me.

[ even he can take a joke at himself. ]

[falkeditupagain]

[There is a pause, and then Hanna bursts out laughing, unable to help himself.]

Oh man....I was so not expecting that...Hahaha Fuck, that was perfect.

[curepotion]

[ riku laughs more at hanna's reaction. ]

Is it really that funny?

[falkeditupagain]

Oh my god yes.

Your delivery was perfect.

[curepotion]

It's nice, to hear you laugh.

[falkeditupagain]

Its nice to laugh with you.
