[ holding a bookcase like it's no big deal. manly Riku is manly. ]

Where do you want this?

[ startles at the movement, but doesn't scoot away or anything since he knows by now that it's futile. ]

I'd rather be elsewhere.

...

[ can't think of how to reply to that, else it sounds like a question. obviously doesn't want to intrude. ]

[advantaged.livejournal.com]

This is a nice place, though. You're not going to do anything else with it?

[strongtype.livejournal.com]

What else is there to do?

[advantaged.livejournal.com]

Paint it, maybe. Hang some stuff up on your walls.

[ looks around, as if he's plotting something. ]

[strongtype.livejournal.com]

[ shrugs & leans back. ]

I like it white.

Maybe you'll change your mind later, who knows.

[ sits in silence for a moment, then shifts an arm around Rob's shoulders. doesn't pull him over or anything, just. offering a bit of comfort. ]

... living alone isn't so bad. But it does take a while to get used to.

[strongtype.livejournal.com]

[ stiffens, then leans against him hesitantly. likes the warmth. ]

I've been alone before.

[advantaged.livejournal.com]

Then telling you this was a silly thing for me to do. My bad.

[ sounds highly amused. ... is making fun of himself, clearly. ]

[strongtype.livejournal.com]

[ smiling? him? --yeah, a little bit. ]

... I never had to get used to it.

[advantaged.livejournal.com]

[ curiosity is piqued. really doesn't want to ask, but. ]

Oh yeah?

[strongtype.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Anna was there.

[ in one way or another. but won't say that, of course. ]

Hm.

[ tilts his head back & stares at the ceiling. ]

[advantaged.livejournal.com]

I'm glad, then.

[strongtype.livejournal.com]

[ leans away, but doesn't shrug away the arm away. his turn for a question. ]

What do you do when you're by yourself?

[ turns his head towards Rob and blinks. ]

Me?

[advantaged.livejournal.com]

[ ponders long & hard. ]

... you know, I don't really do anything. Maybe catch up with my friends. Eat. Sleep. You know, normal stuff.

[strongtype.livejournal.com]

[ seems to be thinking hard about what Riku said & nods. ]

I see.

[advantaged.livejournal.com]

[ would ask why, but holds himself back. just keeps on talking. ]

I used to do a lot of other things, you know.

[strongtype.livejournal.com]

[ interest piqued. ]

Such as?

[advantaged.livejournal.com]

Save the world, of course.

[advantaged.livejournal.com]

[ tilts his head to the side, giving Rob a small smile. ]

Wanna hear a story?

[strongtype.livejournal.com]

[ looks amused. ]

That again. But alright. Another fairytale?

[advantaged.livejournal.com]

Something like that.

[ gets all comfy, an arm still loosely wrapped around Rob. ]

Once upon a time there was this boy. Instead of being a hero, he was selfish and was sure he was the best at everything. Being strong and tall got the better of him, so he thought he was superior than everyone else.

But he had another giant flaw, you see. He wanted to see different worlds and not stay on the island that he had grown up in, since he couldn't appreciate what he had around him at the time.
