Yet again something done as a result of his own selfishness where he can't see the bigger picture, can't see how he could be hurting others. It's always about him, what he wants, what he feels, what he supposedly needs. Because he wants to be like Sora... wants to be able to follow his heart so easily like Sora does and yet, somehow, he can never seem to and everything always ends up in shambles.
Much like Ven currently is.
The frost from his touch has Riku's eyes widen for a moment and, reluctantly, he thinks to pull his hand away; perhaps Ven doesn't want him here and it's a silent warning that he should simply continue to go. Like always. The thought has his tattoo throb in such a way that it's painful and it burns and it's just barely tolerable as he stands there and stares to Ven's back.
This is his fault and Ven doesn't deserve to feel this way, to feel second fiddle, to feel as though he's not enough and that no one could ever want him for a soulmate. It's just... why... why did he have to be paired with him of all people? Someone covered in a darkness of their own and not born of the light like Sora is and while he tries so hard to walk the path of the dawn, choosing neither light nor dark to commit himself to fully... why does the darkness always somehow surround him and his decisions of the heart? Ven doesn't deserve this.
With his grip tightening on that shoulder, he comes to turn Ven around to face him, eyes of blue-green staring down to the blond as fingers tremble at that shoulder, gripping a little tighter as he's suddenly so aware of his own heartbeat within his chest. ]

This isn't your fault.
