It's kindof like those really hot days, when he and Tidus and the others would go running off the edge of that island and plunge into the water below. He feels like he's in way over his head and that all the important details go rushing by too fast for him to make sense of. It's only now, once Riku's grabbed at him and crushed him against his chest that Sora's thinking about the stuff that he should've been thinking about from the start.
Like why is Riku's hair so long? Was he really away enough time for that to happen because it doesn't feel that way- though maybe time works differently when passing through hearts. And is Riku taller now? Why is he wearing a blindfold? Oh no is this one of those time things where it goes backwards? Is this the Riku he'd met when they were first facing off against Xemnas and the Nobodies? Wait but he's taller still- AH! Is he the Sora from when he met up with that Riku?
His cheek presses to the place just above Riku's collarbone and his arms move automatically to complete the circuit. Because the confusion isn't enough to smother what his heart knows. It isn't enough to dampen the wash of relief and elation that comes with seeing his best friend again.
Riku's hands are balled up into little fists in his clothes, and then, horribly- he begins to shake. "Riku-" Sora's eyes are huge with worry when his head tips back, when his own hands slide from Riku's shoulderblades to twin spots underneath them- just enough that he can try to look him in the face. The concern is naked there, in his eyes, in his voice. "Riku, you're shaking."
