“Thanks, Riku.”
A grunt of acknowledgement was all she got from him, as he was halfway through licking his own cone of ice cream.
“Strawberry’s still better.” Kairi smiled, licking her ice cream and moaning over how great it is.
Amusement flashed in his eyes. “’Cept not.”
“Keep telling yourself that.” Kairi said and with a swish of her hair she was walking away, off to the docks to where their boats were tied. They’d decided upon grabbing some ice cream from town -- today was going to be one of those exceptionally hot days -- and then they’d head off to the island together.
“Hey, Kairi?” Riku asked from right beside her and she froze -- not because of how he could catch up with her so quickly, but because she could hear that little hint of something in his voice. Something that probably wasn’t so great for her.
Reluctantly, she turned to face him.
And was met with ice cream.
Her mouth flew open in shock.
Riku threw his head back and howled with laughter.
She brought her hand up to her face and wiped some of the now wasted mint chocolate ice cream away from her eyes. “I cannot believe… You just did that.”
“I could lick it off for you.” He winked suggestively.
“No!”
“Okay, okay! Maybe you should go and wash it off in the water then?” He made a move to grab her and she quickly assumed it was to throw her in the water. She made a split second decision to return the favour.
Riku’s faced coated in pink was something she did not think would be as funny as it was now that it had actually happened. “I guess you’ll have to join me!” She managed while laughing and dove -- or fell, really -- into the water.
“If you say so!”
