[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.
[ 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. ]

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.
