"Hey, Riku?"

"Yeah?"

"When you sleep, have you ever had the same dream more than once?"

Riku looked down at Sora from his perch.  "Sometimes.  Why?"

"I dunno.  It’s just that there’s this weird dream I have sometimes.  I’m out here on the beach, and it’s raining and thundering like crazy.  Then this girl wearing one of those Organization coats shows up."

"A girl?  What kind of girl?"

"She actually looks a lot like Kairi, back when her hair was shorter.  Except this girl’s hair is black, just like the coat."

"Huh.  Is it actually Kairi?"

"Nah.  Definitely not.  I mean, she reminds me a lot about her, but there’s something different.  I feel like I’m supposed to know her, but I’ve never met her."

"Does she say anything to you?"

"That’s the kind of creepy part.  She’s got this really sad look on her face, like she’s trying to remind me of something, but I can’t hear her over the storm.  Then I wake up."

"Weird."  Riku hopped down onto the sand.  "I can’t say I’ve ever met anyone like that.  How often do you dream about her?"

Sora shook his head.  "Not very often.  It happens every once in a while.  I think the last time I had the dream before last night was…three months ago?"

Riku shrugged.  "Well, it sounds interesting, but I really don’t know what to tell you.  It’s probably just some weird fantasy of yours."

"Fantasy?"  Sora gave Riku a blank look.  "What kind of fantasy?  You mean like knights and dragons?"

"No, Sora."  Riku sighed.  "Now come on.  Kairi's probably waiting for us.  You can ask her about it, if you want, but you know how mixed up dreams get.  The girl you saw probably isn't anyone special at all."

Awe that hurts. Very bittersweet.
I'd like to think you fic is not only Sora but for Riku to lie to himself as well~

BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
that's all, really. 8D;
I like the dynamic you have between them here! :3 They have a really natural way of speaking with each other, so it makes me feel like I'm listening to them really talking, you know? :3 Thanks.
