[ Squall almost bites back. He almost shouts at him. He's not the only one who's ever been without someone for years. But no. This wasn't about him. He wasn't going to play that card. He just takes a deep breath. ]
You stop leaving the house and stick with Sora then I'll stay out of your way.
I don't care. I told you. You hurt him and I'll make you regret it.
[ No chill when it comes to Sora, yeah.
However, Riku turns away again, as if to leave because he's clearly over this but... he comes to stop then, jaw tense, mulling over something that he... clearly doesn't want to but. ]
Just... answer me this.
[ His shoulders are tense, strands of silver blowing in the chilly breeze that dances by. ]
[ Squall turned his head to look at Riku once more, or rather his back. A thoughtful frown slowly forming on his face. ]
That... I don't know for sure. I don't know what it feels like to love another person. All... I can tell you is, I'd do anything for that brat even at the risk of my own self.
[ Riku's silent for what must feel like forever as he stands there with his back facing Squall. It's an answer he didn't want to know... even if there's some part of him that did... and while it's not blunt yes by any means, there's enough left out there for Riku to form his own assumption, wondering if perhaps Squall is scared to admit it to him, Sora... or even himself. ]
Yeah. I know the feeling.
[ And that's all he'll say on that, going to make his leave then. ]
[ Squall feels like he should say something, but any time he does, he usually destroys the moment in a matter of seconds. He decides that maybe this time the best action is to just let him leave. He just lets out a soft sigh.]
Sora, how do you put up with pain in the asses like us.

Going to run off and hide somewhere?

Is it really hiding when he knows everywhere I go?
