Title: Rushing to Meet You
Wordcount: 324
Notes: I was trawling through the archives and found Riku/Selphie. It struck a chord with the prompt, so, uh, here's #2. And Kairi works in a department store.
“Uhm. Selphie. What the -- … are these for?”
“To keep your hair out of your eyes,” she said, looking surprised. “Did you really have to ask?”
“…They’re pink.”
“That’s the only color they had, I’m sorry,” said Selphie. “If you have to wear your hair long, at least keep it out of your face. Hmmkay?”
Riku sighed at her. “Of all the things to get a guy.”
“I’m pretty sure they had those cute magenta bellyshirts in your size. D’you want me to ask Kairi?” Selphie jumped up and dusted off the hem of her dress, preparing to dash down the slight slope of the cliff. Riku seized her hand and pulled her back down.
“Wait! Fine. I’ll wear the pink things. Okay?” She beamed at him and sat down again. He pulled them off of the cardboard with some difficulty and shoved them rather haphazardly into the hair surrounding his face. This managed to pull most of the hair away, leave a silver fringe and create awkward-looking bumps on the top of his head, all at once. “How does it look?”
Selphie caught the snort in her elbow. “Heeeeeeey. Don’t be rude,” said Riku, a tad blushingly. Her laughs subsided to giggles and she leaned forward to adjust some of them. “Better,” she said, and she paused to take in the details of his face. “You’ll be able to see the fireworks better, too.”
He stared at her for a few seconds and tried to say something, but he looked something between mortified and shocked and quickly ducked his head, face reddening.
“You know something?” asked Selphie suddenly. Riku glanced up at her. “…What?”
“You’re really cute.” She swooped in and stole a kiss. When she drew back to look at him again (he looked almost too surprised), she added, “…But it’s good I got you the hair things. Looks like I’m going to have to wear the pants in this relationship!”
