[ This isn't easy for either of them. Despite the fact that Riku has someone who he already loves, Ven has to deal with having a soulmate who may never come to love him as they do another and that alone is a different sort of pain.
Even so, Riku still feels that pull between them, finds that his tattoo aches when he tries to ignore Ven or pull away from him when there's part of him that would much rather be around him. Because the more he seems to fight it, the more he remains stubborn about it, the more it seems to hurt and the more the blond seems to gently enter his thoughts... which is why he's here right now. ]
It will be, especially by the ocean.
[ He knows Ven might not think much of his concern for him, chalking it up to the fact that perhaps he feels it's done out of some sort od "duty of soulmates" within this world and perhaps it very well is. Or perhaps it's because of his taking care of Sora for all these years, something else that might cause Ven to frown as though he might be considered as having a debt that needs to be repaid by his soulmate.
Either way, Riku sighs and comes to stand beside Ven, hands still shoved in his pockets, eyes turned towards the sea. ]
I'm sorry it's like this. [ That you're stuck with me. ] If I could change it for you... [ Change it for me. ] ...I would.
