Sixteenth ✰ [Accidental Video]

['sup Vatheon. You know how miracles generally happen about this time of year? Well, another just so happens to be happening right now, brought to you live by a sneaky little kitten who ninja'd his way out of the second story window and into a familiar forest. Well, at the edge of the wooded area, anyway. Just behind a bench, too.

At first all that's seen is a black glove, a finger in it twitching slightly as the first few signs of awareness before the hand clenches into a fist. The kitten mewls, white face nudging the hand gengerly. Who cares if it's damp, he missed his pet.

There's a bit of a sputtering cough, like some of the water dripped down his throat, as he wakes up, beginning to sit up. The silver hair and black cloth should be telltale signs of who it is as the Turkish Angora sits there, all pleased and proud. Yet something is different about the familiar figure, something off. To the outsider, he probably just looks disoriented and confused. The outsider has the latter part correct, at least. The other, however, is shock.]

How-? [His own jaw dropped. Riku remembers, vaguely at first, as pieces come back bit by bit. It's surprising, really, to suddenly awaken here after such a bright light, sensing Sora vaguely begin to run toward him as he lay on the ground... to a kitten he would be mowed over by an old friend if he didn't recognize.]


Kiryu? [A beat.] If you're here, then that means... [His face points at the camera...and before he can say anything embarrassing, his hand covers the SFC and it shuts off-

...Was that a Christmas bow tied to his hair and blindfold?

...That was a Christmas bow tied to his hair and blindfold. Har har, powers that be. Har. Har.]

[Well, someone had to to make sure some lazy bum finally got out of the pod-shaped bed. THE ONLY PART OF THE BLAME HE WILL ACCEPT IS LETTING YOU STAY THERE. DEAL. WITH. IT.

He truly was the blind one for a long time, metaphorically speaking. While he knew it, he just couldn't listen to the whispers of truth as his decisions led him down a different path. Where Sora saw the bonds, he saw the weaknesses and the secrets that lay in the shadows of their bright world. And yet... wasn't it those strings that kept him from fully believing Maleficent? Those bonds kept him from fading time and time again, and were how he couldn't fully hate Sora that first leg of their separate journeys. Then again, he'd been secretive to begin with, too...

Except with that one stranger, and he still hasn't told anyone about what they were really talking about. Probably never would-

That's when Kiryu jumps out of his arms, but he doesn't seem that surprised as his head turns directly toward the aura he'd never be able to mistake the aura he was running directly to. A faint smick crosses his lips as he nods faintly, and the now happier cat as it climbs up onto Sora's shoulder. ... It's a good thing he's patient, because with that faint outline of 'the look' he could make out, he was wondering which greeting he'd get. Would it be angered shouting, or-?

Then all of a sudden there was a hug. ...What. Okay, he probably should have seen that coming after Kairi had done the same to both of them and Sora had once fallen to his knees and wept like a baby upon seeing through his appearance and into his heart like Kairi had, but it still causes him to hesitate slightly before hands hovering over his friend's back slowly returned the hug-

Kiryu you did not just lick his face as though saying he needs a bath. The salt water was enough of one, thank you very much.]


Sorry for the wait.

[No, you mean someone had to be stubborn and decide he'd rather tell that lazy bum off for sleeping for so long rather than joining him. NO, HE WILL TAKE EXACTLY HALF THE BLAME AND THE OTHER HALF IS ON YOU. WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO HAVING EACH OTHER'S BACKS, HUH?

Yeah, he pretty much just did. Consider it payback in kitten form for putting them through this right before Christmas Right before Sora's favorite holiday. And if this, you finding your way back here just in time to be able to experience with your friends, with the people who matter most to you doesn't make you believe in Santa? He honestly does not know what will.

The hug is comforting. It reminds him that Riku's there, that this is real and not just a dream. Sometimes it was hard to remember that all of this was real and not just some new world that they had stumbled upon. They were stuck here in this alternate dimension and unlike the worlds he was used to, they couldn't just come and go as they pleased. Any of them could be taken at any time, and they could be brought back at any time. But it was still up to someone else, and even if they did find their way back, it didn't mean their memories would come with them.

He kept the hug short, pulling away a couple of moments later, smiling up at Riku. Seriously, why do you have to be so tall? It's kind of unfair.]


Don't worry. You're here now. That's what matters.
