Sora appreciated how Riku tried, and wanted to help.
"Yeah," Sora replied. He was embarrassed, but there was no one there to hug him besides Riku, and if he had to pick someone right now, it would be Riku. Kairi couldn't cuddle him like Riku could, and he didn't want her to.
"I'm sorry." He didn't like making Riku put up with this.
