Kairi is so mean, damn. He's too stupid for this. His eyes flicker to Sora. There are three of them, so he's just, like, friends? Friends. But the way Kairi says it really makes his chest feel... weird. So he's also, like, hm. Hm? He's stupid, but he's not completely stupid.]
You are with us.
[Usually.
He can't even say Sora is better at this stuff than him. Sora is also stupid, but Sora is better at just... saying feelings. Sora... your girlfriend...]
[kairi deserves to be mean because both boys are so stupid. or maybe sora's gaining a braincell solely because he's borrowing it from kairi. and also, yeah, he's better at saying feelings, which is why he contemplates for a few seconds before he speaks again.]
We're always together, but...it feels different now, doesn't it? [he'll come right out and say it.] Like...not more important, but something bigger. [dig in your disney brain, dumbass.
which means he's now thinking about belle and beast, and hercules and megara and about staying with the people you love and care about, the people that are precious to you.]
...like we were all made for each other and nobody else.
[ riku says that and it takes everything in her not to laugh at him? he's so stupid. he's soooo stupid. she doesn't expect anything from either of them, so she manages to just hum a vague agreement (they haven't been together all three of them since the islands fell for more than like, a week or two, but it's fine) when sora speaks up next. and it's-- yes. that feeling, exactly. she does laugh this time, a soft fond thing. at least one of them gets it.
which means she's grabbing their hands again, lacing her fingers together with sora and riku both. they do not get to say no. ]
Yeah. That's exactly it. [ and because she thinks she needs to emphasize it for riku, who is being so slow. ] We were always best friends, but... it's a deeper connection than that, now. Isn't it?
[Yeah, he's truly not getting it. Well, he gets it surprisingly, but he doesn't know what this has to do with him specifically.
He sort of glances between the two of them like, "It does?" but not because he doesn't think so. It's more he's not sure if he fits into this equation. This is just digiku all over again, help. It's what happens when you kinda sorta like a girl, but you also kinda sorta get too caught up in the ideal of protecting a girl to prove a really dumbass point.
And now you're left left with, "I'll see myself out, goodbye," except Kairi takes both of their hands, and he can't escape now.]
You two are making it sound like we're...
[Wait. The clouds part, and the light shines through, wow. It dawns on him!! It dawns on him so quickly he's left looking like shocked Pikachu.]
[well. kairi takes both of their hands, riku's being and idiot, and sora's starting to rapidly put together the pieces as he looks at both of them as best as he can as he hums.]
Dating? [he's not even sure if that's where either of them were going, but it's where he went instead. it's why he reaches across with his free hand to a.) secure kairi and hold her a little and b.) grab riku's other hand again. just to prove a point that he's also involved.] Maybe we are.
[ it dawned on him so you could say riku... found his way... to the dawn...
kairi lets sora basically force them into an even tighter cuddle pile without complaint, blushing a little now that sora's actually put it out there with words. it is what she wants, so she's pretending she is not blushing, though, huddling up to both of them. ]
If you want to be. [ they aren't already, she wants to emphasize that, and wants to emphasize that it's a choice for the both of them still, too. ] But I know I don't want to be with anyone else like that. Just you two.
[Why did Sora have to speak the word into the universe like that? Damn. Don't perceive his red face. ALSO HUSH, THE PUN.
Sora reaches for his hand, and he doesn't even think to complain about twisting a little closer to both of them. He really opens his mouth to tell Sora to not just say it like that, like it's for sure, but then KAIRI backs Sora up.]
The three of us? [Imagine the boy friend and girl friend who you think are together but you kind of like too say you're hot and ask if you're in.] Well... I wouldn't want to be with anyone else either.
[so now both of his friends are blushing and sora himself actually isn't for some reason, like he's grasped the concept and now everything is completely clear to him. they're in a tight cuddle pile, there are animals everywhere, and he's still stuck on thinking about the meaning of life but at least he has both of them.]
Then I guess...we all want to be. So nothing should stop us from making it a real thing now that we have the chance to.
[ despite everything, she's a little relieved when riku confirms he feels the same way. and sora's so sure of things all of a sudden, not even a little flustered, it's sort of... catching. so kairi grins brightly ]
Okay. Then, let's make it official! [ she squeezes both of their hands ] Do you want to date, all three of us together?
Yup. [just like that. it's easy, it's simple, it makes sense. it's something he's kind of always known, maybe, even if it hadn't made complete sense at the time. so maybe this place is terrible but at least they managed something good out of it. kairi squeezes their hands and he does it back, even if he's both grinning and rolling his eyes simultaneously.]
If we weren't sure, would we ask? [easy for him to say, and he shares a look with kairi that's kinda like "can you believe our idiot boyfriend?"] It almost...feels like it doesn't really change much. It just gives it a name.
[ she shares the look with sora, even though it's hard for her to fight back her smile long enough for it. yeah! that's their idiot boyfriend who has to ask to make sure. riku's hiding in her shoulder and she leans her head against his a little with a laugh ]
It changes a few things. [ correcting sora softly. it's done! she's giddy! she is going to make so much fun of both of them. ] For example... now you guys can't just stand there like idiots if I kiss you.
[ which is a roundabout way of saying now they can kiss :) if they want to :) ]
[This is said in an exasperated way, but not a, "PLEASE actually give it some thought" so much as "I can't believe I'm surprised yet again my now boyfriend has never used any braincells in his life" way.
Don't make fun of them.
He softly cracks his head against Kairi's when he whips his back so fast from the shock of what she says. He winces in the midst of the surprise.]
[see it was all well and good when they were just bullying riku, and he even makes a face when he's told to give it some thought and that it changes things just a little, but then kairi continues and he immediately blinks in surprise.
no??? that was not their fault? hello???]
That shouldn't even count because you left right after that! [that is such a stupid excuse, shut up sora.] Was that...that shouldn't count as our first one.
[so there? they deserve all of this bullying actually and kairi truly deserves better.]
[ WINCING WHEN RIKU CRACKS HIS HEAD ON HERS, WHAT THE HELL. but she's still so amused by both of them she's snickering while she rubs her jaw where it hit. it's fine. she forgives him for sucking.
both of them, she should say, considering. ]
You're both lucky you guys are cute when you're flustered. [ she's pointedly not answering sora, even though yes. of course it was not their first one. that was on the cheek, idiot. but it's funnier if she pretends it counts now. ] It's okay. We can have a do over now, if you want.
[ she expects neither of them to take the offer right away. she just loves bullying. ]
[He says this with a soft, but tight voice, like he's absolutely worried that means they have not had a first kiss, and so--
Well, what Kairi says is what he figured would happen really.] Do over...? [Oh no.
Kairi wants to KISS! FOR REAL. He's such a stupid boy. He knows Sora is just going to basically says YUP again and be down. Hold on, this is all so fast for him.]
[okay first of all, yeah, of course he would say yes immediately? but then he takes a few seconds to actually use a braincell and think about it, blinking in surprise before he looks at both of them again.]
But...how would we do a do over right now? [stupid. idiots. fools!! it's not even that it's fast, he's just now trying to figure out how to make it work for all three of them.] We want a do over, don't we?
[ absolutely surrounded by idiots, holy shit. they're so lucky she thinks it's funny and charming. riku looks like he is so stressed about the prospect and sora is trying to math emoji three people. it's amazing. she's going to make fun of them about this forever. ]
You guys do know what a kiss is, don't you? [ they do, of course, but at some point she has to take shots when they are this easy. ] Or do I have to explain how it works?
[ she says it teasingly and yet looks absolutely like she would explain to them how kissing works in a heart beat ]
Unfortunately, I am not any more help with this boy than Ty with Sora. Please someone help Kairi; she has the stupidest boyfriends on the planet.]
How do you think we would do a do-over right now, Sora?
[HE IS STUPID, BUT PLEASE. Maybe he's just extremely paranoid about how embarrassed he is about to be in .05 seconds when the two of them agree readily to start smooching each other.] Kairi. We know what a kiss is! [Well.] ...Well, I do.
[drapes blankets over anna. i would love to also drape blankets over the boys but solely to suffocate them for being idiots. sora makes a face at that call-out because shut up, it was just a suggestion? and now he's pouting a little.]
Shut up! [HE KNOWS WHAT A KISS IS.] Of course I do, and we can do a do-over...right now. I'm just saying it's not like we can all do it at the same time, right? So...
[...someone has to go first is his point. help him.]

How the fck is Sora always like this? So confident in what he just suddenly decides!!

[Sorry he’s the virgin!!!]
