[Knowing those feelings and recognizing this is private, Zack nearly turns off his berry to grant Riku what little privacy he can, but then his own voice comes through and he stops. It's hard to look away after that, and it takes Zack a long moment to recover his voice when the dream ends. For the kid to have this kind of nightmare...how long had those feelings been eating at him?]

....Hey. You know it was just a bad dream, right? We wouldn't say those things.

[ At least there's that. Riku didn't know most people who would even consider turning it off. The teen didn't bother turning to look in the direction of the 'berry when his friend's voice rang through the room. He just pulled the blanket higher. He didn't even want to bother talking to him for a brief moment before Riku finally just turned over, looking at Zack. ]

I know. I know it's a dream.... [ It didn't seem to make a difference right now. ]

Doesn't make it any easier, huh? [Sigh. He knows exactly how that feels, but doesn't know what to say to make it any easier to deal with. There isn't much he can say, after all.]

...Ya know...whatever it is that you did...none of us have spotless records. 'Specially not Seph and me. Wouldn't judge you for that at all.

[soughtfreedom]

Not really. [ He glances over at the 'berry before finally sliding out of bed and walking over to pick it up. ]

I doubt either of you did anything worse than I did.

[white_polaris]

Riku! Riku please wake up!

[soughtfreedom]

S...I'm awake.

[white_polaris]

Are you alright?

[soughtfreedom]

[ He forces the smile to his face. ] Fine. Just a bad dream.

[She jumps when the Dreamberry is thrown, and she shifts around.]

...Just so you know, it was just a dream.

[soughtfreedom]

[ He slowly sits up, putting his hand over his eyes. ]

I know it is. I'd just rather...[ No one sees his nightmares. ]

[beats_zelos]

You'd just rather what?

[soughtfreedom]

I'd rather have more control over what dreams are broadcasted to everyone. [ A sigh. ] My friends don't want to see this. I don't want them to see this.

[Yup, this is definitely not good. Before too long, Kairi is in Sora and Riku's room, and sits down on the edge of the latter's bed, frowning.]

Riku... you know that isn't real. Nobody thinks like that. Not at all.

[action]

[soughtfreedom]

[ Riku didn't really expect his friend to be awake. He guesses he could deal with that. :| ]

I'm awa--[ He pauses in the middle of his lie, looking over to his friend. ] I'll get over it. Nightmares happen all the time.

[royalseashells]

[She's an early riser! And a very Worried Kairi.]

I know, but... just. I want to make sure you know that.

[ It's okay! Riku will keep this in the back of his mind when he thinks of making breakfast for everyone in the tree house. ]

I know. Thanks...anyway. [ He smiles a little. ] Shouldn't you knock before coming into my room? Did your manners get left at home? [ He's trying to lighten the mood. Roll with it. ]

[keyblaaaade]

[Watching that dream really made Sora's heart break.]

No... that's not true at all!

[soughtfreedom]

[ It's okay. Knowing Sora saw it makes Riku's heartbreak. D: ]

Wh--Of course it's not. It's just a stupid dream.

[keyblaaaade]

You don't really believe that, do you? [The dream concept, really. If he does, he will make sure that theory is out of his mind PRONTO.]

[soughtfreedom]

Of course--[ Riku feels a little bad for stretching the truth when it comes to Sora. But the truth sort of hurts. If he feels bad admitting it. Sora would feel bad knowing his friend was feeling the way he is. ] --not. It's not even that serious, Sora. Dreams are just dreams. Some of them are just nonsense.
