Riku just kind of... starred at his boyfriend for a few seconds. Okay, he was going to ignore that Sora had just compared him to a seven-year-old kid and focus on the part that was kind of rediculious, and yet incredibly cute. Gah, Riku didn't know what to do with him sometimes.
"Sora..." God, just... Riku hooked Sixer's leash around his wrist and stopped in the middle of the sidewalk, grabbing his boyfriend into a tight, slightly desperate, hug.
"I'm sorry, I just..." Riku shook his head and clung to Sora. "I just get s-scared sometimes. You didn't end your last relationship on purpose. If she hadn't, you two would still be together. Regardless of what you did, or didn't do together, she made you happy. And if there was someone before me, what if someday someone shows up who makes you happier than I can?"
What if one day, he found that he had to take up her role, and step quietly aside so that Sora could be happier, even if it meant with someone else?
