Riku's PCD is offline.

[She sounds oddly... calm about the news, but those that know her well know that it's getting to her. First Makoto vanishes, then Rhode vanishes, making Tyki unstable, and now Riku.

Especially Riku. Because Rei knows what's lying in store for him when he returns home.

There's a quiet pause, as if she's about to continue with what she's going to say, before she shuts off her PCD.]

[Voice // Private // Unhackable] LOL OKAY DONE

[flameandpassion]

[Calm. Collected. Hino. God. Damn. It. Get. A. Grip.]

You what?

[Voice // Private // Unhackable] HE HAS THE BEST TIMING EVER.

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

You heard what I said.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable] RIGHT? HE TOTALLY DOES, THOUGH.

[flameandpassion]

[brb she has to get the whole... girl reaction out of the way. Luckily, this is voice, and not video, so she can feel perfectly free to wave her arms at nothing to get it out of her system.

Now. Collected.]

You mumbled it.

[Is she enjoying this? Yes.]

[Voice // Private // Unhackable] DID IT MAKE HER FEEL BETTER?

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

You just want to hear me say it again.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable] YOU HAVE NO IDEA MAN.

[flameandpassion]

Maybe.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable] JUST AS PLANNED. 1/2

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

I thought so.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[He takes a deep breath, because as effortless as it might have seemed to say the first time, it was anything but.]

I'm in love with you, Rei.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

[Effortless? You mumbled it, buddy.

How melodramatic.]

I love you too.

[THAT is effortless. Brought to you by the senshi of flame and passion!]

[He mumbled it in case you reacted badly, he could say it had been something else.]

Where are you?

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

Home.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

Think I could get away with visiting you there?

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

You're not banned from our house, Cloud, you can come over whenever you want.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

That wasn't what I meant.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

Yes, you can come visit me.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

Are you alone?

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

I'm never alone, Cloud, my house has a ton of girls in it.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

Sure you want them to see this?

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

See what?

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

I'm supposed to kiss you or something now, right?

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

[... she is facepalming.]

The door's open, Cloud.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

[Dude, it's not like he does this every day, okay?]

Meet me at it?

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

[Yeah, yeah, yeah.]

Sure, I'll be there.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

Mm. I'll see you soon.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

I'll be there.

[And she will be! On the steps of the Temple.]

[it doesn't take him long, really, only taking enough time to slip his feet into his boots, putting a coat over his normal hoodie (mostly so she wouldn't yell at him for not wearing it) and to wrap a new, black scarf around his neck and grab his gloves.

He smiled when he saw her, lips curling up just lightly on the edges, the bright blue of his eyes twinkling as he reached her.

And without warning, wrapped his arms around her and did exactly as he had said over the PCD, the kiss gentle and soft.]
