So you found them!

[ Kairi, they were directly outside his door, of course he did — ]

Happy Valentine's Day to you, too, Riku.

[ She accompanies that with a smile, as she moves in to give him a hug. She's in a really good mood today, even better than usual, so ... the opposite of him, and she's just really glad to get to share this holiday with him as well. It's about the heart, and the feelings contained within her heart are strong. ]

Well, they weren't exactly hidden very hard.

[Not that he wanted them hidden at all or anything.]

Thanks.

[He may be a little tired and exhausted right now, but he's never too tired for a Kairi-hug, so he opens his arms so that he can hug her back properly, smiling faintly as he asks:]

I hope, you and Sora had a nice day?

[ Aah, it always feels nice to hug her friends. She's glad she could do something for him and make him happy like this.

And then he asks that and she can feel her heart beat a little faster and her face get a little hotter.

But she smiles nonetheless, hugging him a little tighter because it's the only outlet for her feelings right now. ]

Yeah. Really nice.

[ And she softly exhales a small laugh. Just thinking about it makes her feel .... aaaah. ]

[He can't help but smile at the way that her joy radiates from her. She is happy and that, in turn, makes Riku happy as well.]

I see… I'm glad for the two of you.

[And well… he makes note, he'll definitely have to ~~tease~~ ask Sora about all the details tomorrow.]

[ She's just going to push her face into him a little, still keeping that hug. She's not easy to fluster, but Sora definitely got to her today, and it might show from how she's getting a little flustered just thinking about the day.

And she nods.

And then speaks, a little muffled. ]

You know I love the both of you, right?

[ Just making sure he knows. He's a part of their team, even if Kairi and Sora move their own relationship forward. ]

[He squeezes her lightly, after she nods and says those words, smiling as he says:]

I know. I love you both too.

[Not like they love each other, but it's love nevertheless. That's something he hadn't understood back when he was fifteen… but now? Now, he gets it.]

[ It makes her really happy to hear that from him. Both that he knows and that he feels that way toward the both of them. Their trio can never be broken apart, that's for sure.

So she stops pressing her face into him and looks up at him, smiling, and laughing a little because the smile isn't enough to express her happiness. ]

This is the best Valentine's Day ever, Riku.

[ Not that they've ....... really celebrated it before. But details, right? This is still the best one. She's gotten to have these nice moments together with the both of them. Her two most precious people. ]

[No, they can't; their connection is far stronger than that.

He looks down at her when she pulls away – despite the events of the day he's happy too, for both his best friends. It's about time that they figure out their feelings for each other after all.]

May there be many more like it.

[It doesn't matter when you start celebrating, right? Not to Riku, at least.]

[ She gives a strong, happy nod at that. She looks forward to every Valentine's Day from here on out. New best holiday.

But, she looks a little playful when she asks this — and suspicious of him. ]

By the way ... you didn't teach him any of that, did you?

[ Any of the things he did today ... Seriously, he was pretty smooth with some of it. It's entirely possible that he was just going with his heart, of course. But she's so curious about this. ]

[Riku looks similarly playful, mischief glimmering in his eyes as he answers:]

Depends on what he did… if he impressed you, then yes. If he acted like a dork, then no.

[He holds his grin at that for another second, before he admits:]

Joking aside, Sora didn't ask me for advice on anything he did for you. I didn't even know he had something planned for sure, until seeing you just now.

[He isn't going to claim Sora's romantic gestures as his ideas, especially when they aren't.]

[ Wow ... That's mildly shocking for her. She thought Sora would at least tell Riku about it, maybe even ask for some advice. But he did it all on his own, and did a good job of it, too ... She's proud of him. And even more happy about what happened today. ]

Wow ... Then I guess Sora's grown up a lot more than we might've realized.

[ She laughs softly at that. She definitely ... sees him in a bit of a different light now, after today. It's hard to explain, though. ]

[It's only a little less surprising to Riku, who had seen how Sora had glowed after confessing to Kairi… that kind of glow can't be contained. It doesn't really surprising, now that he thinks about it, that Sora found a way to share it.]

Maybe… though maybe we shouldn't tell him that just yet.

[It might go to his head, after all.]

Yeah. Wouldn't want it to go to his head.

[ She laughs at that. They're on exactly the same page here, it seems. She may be together with him now, but she's allowed to be as teasing as she wants to be still. She doesn't see much changing between the two of them, really. ]

[He grins and nods.]

Exactly my thought.

[Though, all teasing aside… Riku still needs to make sure that Kairi knows one thing.]

I'm really happy for you guys.
