Falling in love prompt
“i think i love you…?” “….. think?” “let’s just say a ninety-nine percent chance.” “i’ll take it.”

That was all Riku could have hoped for, next to finding Sora in the first place. Now that he had managed that part of his quest, the rest could be simply whatever came next. Riku knew that, be it whatever foe or evil, they would stand against it and return back to their friends waiting for them.
He didn’t, however, predict what might have come next for the two of them being less of a threat and more of a personal matter.

He had resigned himself in knowing that they would never be shared between them. Not that he minded, much, but the ache did sometimes catch him in the middle of the night, sleepless.
The look on Sora’s face, startled at his own admission but also mustering up some bravado, told Riku that his friend had meant those words. Sora hadn’t just said them but meant them as well.
Of course, it would help Riku’s own racing heart if Sora hadn’t said it with so much unsureness in his voice.
