riki has always been the one to struggle with emotions so, when you crushed on riki, he always pushed you away. unknowing to both himself and you--he fell for you. and it crushed him to see you in someone's elses arms. but he knew he was the one who pushed you into his arms.

he was well-aware of his blossoming feelings for you. and he found himself wanting to express it-however, you'd no longer be that clingy girl, chasing after him. he missed you. your pressence. and even a glance his direction would leave him craving for more. but he found himself taking what's given knowing that he had made his bed and now he has to sleep in it.

it was around lunch when he almost found the courage to talk to you. however your new friend beat him to it. and he faltered. "maybe some other time..." he said to himself.

riki was about to walk away but you smiled in his direction and waved. his heart stuttered in his chest. he wanted to say something, anything...but he could only wave back awkwardly.
