Challenge: [095] Poison
Title: Fake
Word Count: 168
Spoilers/Warnings: CoM spoilers.
Notes: Definitely one of my favorite characters. One of my first KH drabbles, so be kind, okay?

And for a moment the poison drains from his veins and is replaced by a very real smile on his fabricated face, and he races to meet Real Thing.
“I'm going to kill you,” he whispers to himself. “And then I'll be the Real Riku.”
