absences and distractions ; the witch's tower
Riku's been away from the tower for far too long. He can't spend every day there, as much as he would like to - there's debts that he has to pay back, and goals that he has to achieve.
The last mission, so to speak, has taken him a few weeks. It feels like much longer, with each day longer than the last. He never thought he'd get so attached to someone - at least not in a capacity other than frend. He certainly never thought someone would get this attached to him.
He's more than a little tired. He's been up for twenty-five hours or so, and he's about ready to crash.... or at least, he should be. But despite the fact DiZ had taken one look at him and promptly ordered him straight to bed, he can't seem to sleep. All he does is toss and turn. He thinks he knows the cure - if only he can manage to sneak out.
But why couldn't he sneak out, anyway? It's not as if DiZ was his father.
He casts an apprehensive glance at the door, and then raises his hand to call a darkpath. And when there's no sound of someone coming to interrupt him, he jumps up from the bed, and hops through it, before anyone can possibly try to stop him.
...too bad he didn't take the time to check himself out before hopping through, because he kind of ends up hitting the ground of Namine's tower in his bedclothes. But boxers and a tshirt was... totally suitable visiting gear.
Honestly.

The sound of something heavy thunking somewhere inside her room startles her from her task. She whirls around to find a boy -- her boy -- on the ground looking a little unkempt but endearing nonetheless.
"Riku? What are you doing here?" she asks a little amusedly.
no subject
"Why am I here?" he asks, with a broad grin. "To see my favourite girl, of course."
no subject
"It's been a while, hasn't it Riku?" she says with a smile.
no subject
He places a hand on his heart, as if it's been wounded. But all dramatics aside -- it's all true. He wishes he could have seen her sooner.
no subject
"I missed you, too," she says.

She lets out a gentle and light laugh. "Would it please you," she begins, "if I were to tell you that I've just been passing the time away until I could see you again?"
no subject
Really. A charmer.
no subject
"First, I'd really like to hug you," she says a little shyly.
no subject
no subject
Oh, it is better than she remembers. With his warmth, and the familiarity of his smell and the way he is...she misses it all.
no subject
"Missed you," he says quietly, far more serious now.
no subject
"It's been very boring without you," she admits, blushing. Not to mention, practically unbearable. "I'm so happy to see you."
no subject
He runs his hands through her hair, again and again.
"You can have all that time."
no subject
"Have you been all right?" she asks, leading him further into the room. The pile of scattered drawings are still on the floor in disarray.
no subject
He wishes he could be more specific, but he really can't - not in the castle. But he's sure she'll understand.
"What's with the drawings?"
no subject
It's true, she's curious to know more than his vague statements, but she's never really been the prying type, and besides, she knows how the walls can hear everything within the castle.
"I was putting some of them away," she explains. "Some of the older ones."
no subject
"These are something to keep."
no subject
She points to the storage box. There are already a few sketches inside it.
no subject

no subject
"Anything you want."
no subject
Maybe you can help him narrow it down, Namine.
no subject
Then she rises on her tip-toes and kisses him. It's an innocent gesture, but Riku should know that there's always more to Naminé's kisses.
