Silly Sora was oblivious to Riku's staring-- well, for the most part. Upon downing the last remnants of his shake, his blue eyes flicked upward to catch the endearing look Riku was giving him, making him gulp loudly with a shudder. However, he couldn't help but raise a brow as a puzzled look crossed his features. One that eventually became more concentrated as he heard the faint buzzing again...

Then a laugh caught his attention. A grating one he knew all too well, and with an exasperated sigh, he tossed a quick glance to see none other than Rika, chilling with her girl friends as she held her phone out. Most likely snapping pictures of he and Riku or... recording. That thought alone made his hair bristle as a faint little growl rumbled from his throat.

The brunette spun around, crossing arms over his chest as he quickly slipped out of his seat. Deftly grabbing his empty cup while holding his hand outstretched for the other, "Well, I'm pretty much finished, so if you're up for a lil' sight seeing right now, I'll take ya!"

)○( ║ Riku relished this rare moment, having the upper hand to make Sora squirm like this when in their past it was mostly the opposite. He'd agree that he might be getting ahead of himself to plan to make more attempts to fluster Sora like this a little more while his memory was in such a state.

His attention was brought to where Sora's rubbed his neck, lingering long after the hand left and eyes slipping into a half-lidded hungry stare.

Oh...

His pupils focused into slits when they spotted some of the faint points of the scar peeking from the edges of the collar. Riku knew that marking well-- having put it there himself, and it took every fiber of his being to keep him from acting upon the instinct to refresh the memory...

Sora's sputtering brought him back to reality however, and reminded Riku that a public space definitely wasn't the place to lose control like this. He coughed against his fist to clear his throat, masking both the hungry purr that had threatened to rumble and letting the ends of his hair fall back into place, having raised slightly from his... excitement.

He rests his chin on his hand and chooses to commit the silly slurps and glaring blush on Sora's cheeks to memory instead, his smile maybe a bit more endearing than he should let it be.

But he missed this. He missed Sora so damn much.

Riku's milkshake was finished, sans for the last dregs of the pile of whipped cream at the bottom. He wasn't going to move just yet though. He wanted this moment to last a little longer.

[k3y2myh34rt]

With a gentle pull, he helped her to her feet, then shrugged at her question as he gave a wink.

"Eh, I've been through worse!," he admitted, eyes scanning the scene around them before he asked abruptly," Need me to walk you where you were headed, or you good?"

Rainy shook her head, despite wincing again at the motion, as if to just shake out the thoughts that was making her have the look on her face. No, this wasn't the Sora she knew. Just an alternate that just... healed weirdly quickly.

She glanced up and held up a hand. "Yeah, might be best. Still feelin' a lil woozy from the bump. Your head good?" She knew she asked earlier, but she wanted to be sure.

[k3y2myh34rt]

Sora's own visage twisted with concern as he noted the look on their face. Blinking, as he did not fully connect why she was giving such a look, he stood up fully, leaning forward to offer his hand to them.

"Well, at least you're not bleeding..." he admits, scratching his head with his other hand as he asked, "Need some help gettin' up?"

The ginger was staring, and very much not trying to hide it. There was a concerned look on their face as they noticed the bruising fading fast. And maybe a few blinks of their silver eyes - as if they were seeing... well not a ghost?

Though that changes as she winces, a hiss leaving her mouth as she reaches up to touch the back of her head. "Ah... well..." they trail off as they look at their hand, "...'M not bleeding so I'll be fine when the ringing in my head stops."

[k3y2myh34rt]

To say Sora had anticipated any of what took place in their conversation would've been wrong. Dead wrong. His actions were only coming to him as if it were second nature until reality eventually socked him in the face when Riku not only reciprocated his flirtatious gestures, but ate that cherry...exposing a fang. Such a sight made the brunette shudder as a fleeting image of teeth sinking into the flesh of his neck slipped by, causing Sora to react by rubbing his neck unconsciously. If the collar he adorned had not taken up a good portion of his throat, one would've noticed the fan scars dotting around it; as if some barbed coiling got ahold of him. Luckily, they were mostly covered, with a few just peeking around the corners.

Anyway, his eyes were wide and blue as his breath caught within his throat. His jaw hung slightly ajar as he watched in a bewildered state.

'Holy shit, what AM I doing? What did HE just do???'

His brain sputtered, trying to reboot after freezing for a good few minutes -- maybe seconds, he wasn't sure. Then, a burst of anxiety inducing laughter shot from his mouth as he said sheepishly, "A-ah, yes! I'd love to show you around! Haha!"

With that, he gave a vigorous shake of his head, then, abruptly lowered it to wrap his lips around his straw; taking a long, steady gulp as his eyes focused on his drink. His cheeks BURNED intensely as he made some of the most ridiculous slurping noises to distract himself.

)○( ║ Out of his element indeed...

There was no stopping the color that begin to blossom over Riku's cheeks again, having caught the wink and subtle flirty gestures that Sora was throwing at him at this point of the conversation. He didn't expect this far this soon. Riku can barely hold Sora's gaze before deciding to focus on drinking more of his milkshake to hide how flustered he was becoming.

Oh yeah, without a doubt, this had to be his Sora. It caught him by surprise that even with the lack of memory, the well-known (and beloved) mischievous and playful side of Sora was still there. It brought warmth in his chest and perhaps a bit of boldness with it too.

He decides to return this little flirtatious serve with his own, plucking the red cherry by it's stem from the pile of whipped cream on his milkshake. He bites the fruit and pulls the stem away with a small click, a brief flash of a canine in the process.

"I like that offer," he says after the cherry was briefly chewed and swallowed. "It'd be a pleasure to have you show me around. I'm sure I could get used to things much more quickly."

"And as a fellow sugar fiend," he adds, pausing to swipe his thumb across the corner of his mouth and giving a quick lick to clean any remaining cream there. "I'd love to share more desserts with you."

[k3y2myh34rt]

Sora listened. His eyes sparkling in fascination as a soft chuckle left him, "Nah, I'm sure it's not. You're just a little... out of your element."

He motioned his hand as he uttered the 'element' part before it moved below his chin, allowing him to lay his head upon an open palm as he sighed with a smile. He offered a wink, then snickered as he teased, "Hehe, fellow sugar fiend, huh?"

He wasn't really conscious of what he was doing then. His reactions just flowed naturally without thought or care, like a cool summer breeze.

However, his eyes did wince as that strange faint buzzing returned; ringing within his ears-- maybe mind. Luckily, not loud enough to distract him, but it was there, lurking back there.

Electing to ignore it, the brunette pushed on, sneaking a quick sip from his drink, then leaned back against the cushions of his seat. His hands tapping a beat along the surface of the table as he pondered over his words with a smirk.

"Well, guess I'll have to show you around so you can find yourself something to besides 'tourist things', yeah?" his voice lowered slightly as there was a hint of... charm to it. His expression almost as seductive as his half-lidded eyes flickered from blue to purple in color once again. His anxieties steadily melting away as a hidden confidence bubbled forth from the recesses of his heart Like a different side of him took over within that very moment and acted on instinct.

Huh. Funny.

"There's alot to do in this city. So much, it's a lil' overwhelming, even for me. I'm sure you'll get used to it, however."

)○( ║ From the sound of it, Sora had less of a confusing time adapting to this place than Riku did. These 'roommates' have taken him in and taught him about this world and found an acceptable place for him too...

It was very different for Riku, having wandered around like a very lost tourist until his 'benefactors' showed up with his given cellular device. A key to this world, providing that he also perform tasks for them in exchange. He had to push his suspicions aside for the time being, for the benefits of a roof over his head and currency were nearly indispensable to survive.

Sora's smile was infectious, bringing a softer one to Riku's lips as he continued to sip his drink while he listened.

Parkour, huh? Riku wasn't quite familiar with the term, but it had to be some form of outdoor activity, right?

Or was it another way to describe the earlier encounter?

"Ah, for myself..." he began, thinking on Sora's question. He wasn't here on this planet for 'fun' in the first place, but that wasn't to say some things he's experienced weren't enjoyable.

"I like to... do the tourist things?" he said sheepishly as he stirred his milkshake with his straw. "Sight-seeing, trying the local foods..." Otherwise spending almost all of his time searching high, low, and in-between for the one sitting across from him.

"I don't have a roommate, but I do spend some time with my neighbor Yae-san. She's helped me settle in after I moved into Tokyo." That was a better answer.

"I hope my life's not too boring," he adds. "It's just me and looking for the next dessert to satisfy my sweet tooth." He chuckles softly at this, having freely treated himself more often than once at many different cafes throughout the city.

[[ 'sup, gonna be on to do replies today, but I'm also making a post to advertise me new muse here in case my pals want to interact with a brooding hedgehog voiced by the brilliant Keanu...

Anyway, it's movie verse Shadow. Give the poor lil' guy some love, yeah? Anywho, back to our regular scheduled programing!]]

[k3y2myh34rt]

Groaning, the brunette rose upon his hands and knees, shaking his head. He turned around to face whoever he ran into; the bruising that head developed upon his forehead quickly fading to an unnatural degree as he rubbed his nose and laughed sheepishly.

"Uh...yeah, I'm good. Sorry about that... was focused on getting somewhere."

His gaze now fully acknowledging them as he asked, "Are you okay?"

@stormingginger

Wherever Sora was running to, it wasn't known. He just was in a hurry to get somewhere. So much so, he didn't even see the person that emerged in front of him, and by the time he did, he found himself running into them, then tumbling face first into concrete...

It was...not the best evening for the brunette in all honesty....

[k3y2myh34rt]

Riku...

The name rolled around in his head as a pleasant sigh left him. He could feel his heart flutter --weird.

He shifted almost uncomfortably in his seat as he silently pondered over why he was feeling the way he was. He'd nod almost absently at Riku's mention of being new to the area too. "Man, it was pretty confusing for me at first ... but my roommate helped me find my away around this city."

His eyes then, shot upward contemplatively as Riku posed his question. Rubbing his chin, his eyes squinted slightly, as he took another sip from his straw afterward.

"Uh ... well, I guess I like to relax after work. Sit back, watch some TV, or play video games with my roomates ..." he paused, eyes falling back onto Riku as he laughed, "Cooking's kinda fun, even if I can't eat half the stuff my roomie makes. I just ... think it's a nice way to get people together, y'know?"

He fell silent a moment, tapping his clawed nails along his cup as nodded softly, then closed his eyes and flashed one of his bright smiles at Riku before reaching up to rub the back of his neck again. "I also uh... exercise. I like going out for a jog, or run ... and do a little parkour here and there ..."

More like fighting monsters ... but he can't know that.

He opened his eyes, bringing his hand to his cup again as he leaned forward, offering a soft, yet curious look to Riku as he peered into his eyes. Very pretty.

"What about you?"

)○( ║ "That makes two of us," Riku agrees. "I'm not fluent in the language either." Despite Yae-san's praise in his attempts at learning and her guidance, he's yet to go beyond everyday phrases to hold any form of conversation. It's a relief that he can speak this freely with Sora.

"You can call me Riku, if you prefer," he says.

I'd greatly prefer it. I miss hearing you say my name.

"And I'm new to the..." He can't help the soft stir of his hand in the air trying to find the right word. City? Country? Planet? This solar system?

"Uhm... area," he settles on the word. "It feels like every day since I've moved here I've been exposed to so many new things." A truth here, and without the guidance of his cellular device from his benefactors, he'd have been lost far more often than he'd care to admit.

"What are the things you like to do?" Riku asks, drawing his milkshake closer to him to begin sipping more of it down. A casual enough question, right? Maybe a glimpse into how long Sora has survived in this overwhelming city.

[k3y2myh34rt]

There was an audible slurp while Sora watched him. A tiny smile encompassing his features as he noted the other's blush.

'Super cute..' he mused, tilting his head slightly as a smirk grew upon his face. If one were watching his gaze, they'd note the shift from blue to purple as he almost cracked a flirty joke as if it was something casual. But just as that purple faded back to blue within seconds, so did the realization of what he'd almost done.

A little mortified, Sora stopped sucking on his straw as he set the cup down. He didn't fully know this guy, and yet he felt like he did...

"Ah? Yeah, it's Sora, " he admitted, scratching his cheek as he flashed a toothy grin which exposed his fangs. They weren't large, but certainly noticeable. He... still hadn't picked a last name to go by, hadn't he? Honestly, he couldn't think of one, which made interactions like this pretty awkward. He didn't come from this place, he knew that much since the local language was so unfamiliar to him. He only remembered waking up, in the middle of the scramble, with little to no memory of who or what he was. He just knew he was Sora, and that was that. And he carried on just... being Sora.

However, hearing the other's name gave the brunette a pause as something lurched within his heart. He didn't know how to explain it other than a sudden sense of longing... like a missing part of himself had been... found. It was weird...

So weird, he tried ignoring it.

"Well, it's nice meeting ya Natsumi-ku-- uh san. Heh, I'm still getting used to the language.." he said, taking another anxious sip as he attempted to change topics.

"Sooo, anything you wanna talk about? Ask? Maybe even figure out somethin' to do if you want? I'm open to a lot!"

)○( ║ He flicks his gaze away at the gentle napkin whap of the other, trying not to chuckle as well at Sora's reprimanding. It almost made him begin to wonder just how many were involved in their little get together of theirs. He uses the pause between them to slip his straw into his given milkshake; strawberry as well, like last time. Riku appreciated that, for at least he'd be able to enjoy it more fully today.

At the question, Riku paused while his eyes widened at the realization, gaze thankfully pointed at his milkshake.

Of course Sora wouldn't know his name! They've 'just met'!

Did he not give his name first? Even before inviting Sora?

And Sora still agreed to this date regardless?

With no mask on, his embarrassed blush blossoms on full display across his cheeks.

Could he foolishly had forgotten something as simple as that? His eyes dart slightly as they scan through their interactions and nope, not a single introduction from him, formal or casual.

Fuck.

"It's Ri--," he answers, but flinches slightly as he stops to quickly correct himself. "Natsumi Riku." This culture usually introduced with surnames first...

"And yours is Sora, right? Forgive me, but I read so off your name tag the other day..." He adds, finally looking up and lightly scratching the side of his neck.
