Guess who's coming to dinner 2: The Reckoning.

[joyoverdrive]

Sora and Riku flew in over Destiny Island, the Gummi ship hovering to a stop right on the little island they had called home for so many years. A sigh drifted from the boy's lips as he sprang out of the pilots seat and moved towards the door, exiting the thing. "C'mon Riku, don't want to keep my mom waiting."

Can anyone really blame him for pausing on the beach every time? It's home and he loves it now, even if he thinks he doesn't deserve to be here.

"You're the one who made us late."

[joyoverdrive]

"We had to take a detour! It's fine, let's just land and go say hi." Sora insisted as he piled out of the ship. A few seconds later and they were knocking on the front door.

"Mom?"

[eyeswontlie]

"We'll leave early next time." Or else.

He's a foot or two behind Sora, trying not to look awkward and too tall.

[joyoverdrive]

"...Fine." Sora grumbled where he was, waiting for the door to open, his hands on the back of his head.

Riku was the awkwardest, although when the door open and the woman swept them up in a hug, that didn't matter much.

"Boys!"

[eyeswontlie]

"Woah--hello again." Yes, he can be startled after all but being tackled. Pat on the back?

[joyoverdrive]

"H-hi mom." Sora mumbled beneath his breath, hugging the woman back. She'd always been really affectionate.

No way, Riku was getting a huge hug.

[eyeswontlie]

"So..." Huggy hugs, oh lord. "How are things... here?"

[joyoverdrive]

"Oh things have been fine. Your parents would like to see you...at some point. I spoke with your mother on the phone not too long ago." She nodded to the boy, finally releasing the two of them. "Sora, do you have any laundry?"

"...No."

[eyeswontlie]

"Tell them I'm... busy. Saving the worlds, you know." Never again. Never.

And then he laughs, a bit strained. "He still makes other people do the laundry."

[joyoverdrive]

"...I still think you should see them, but I'm not going to force you, honey." Fumiko stepped back from the two and turned about, entering the house.

"Do not! I can do my own laundry."

[eyeswontlie]

"As if they want to see me. If they did, they'd be here today." He may have a point.

"I saw Gordon doing someone's laundry."

[joyoverdrive]

"Oh honey, you know how busy they are." Although that sounded a little hollow even to her own ears. She smiled nonetheless, bustling into the kitchen. "Sora, just bring me laundry."

"It wasn't mine! Must have been Kairi's."

[eyeswontlie]

"I'm busy too." On top of not giving a shit about his parents. Sora, Kairi and Mickey have always been the only people to care about him.

"Kairi doesn't wear any belts, Sora."

[joyoverdrive]

"..Fine." The woman agreed, she wasn't going to press the issue. "Dinner is almost ready." She announced as she bustled about the kitchen. Using bustled twice, that was stupid.

"She could. I think she has one, doesn't she?"

[eyeswontlie]

"...Does she?" Will she loan it to Riku so people don't have to stare at his black undies? Or will Sora be the one to crush Riku's heart?

"I don't dig through her clothes."

[joyoverdrive]

No one was crushing anyone's heart. No one. "I think she does at least! Last I saw." Sora replied quickly, waving his hands in indignation. Riku's heart was safe, FROM THE DARKNESS. Right now.

"Do you boys like pasta?"
