Third POV
Riku, Sora and [y/n] went out just to find any raw materials that Leon and others need for their experimental product that can heal faster in 10 minutes. Yuffie warn them about a new type of heartless that shown up in the city. They bid goodbye and went out to carry their quest. As they gather some of the raw materials, a new heartless and attack them. They fought until they where destroyed and went back to Merlin's house.
Sora's POV
We went back to Merlin's house as we brought some of the materials and boy, they were worried and pissed at the same time because of Riku's and [y/n]'s condition. It happen so fast! Theirs a new heartless pop out prepares to attacks us. As usual we fought them off but Riku got hit and skids a bit on the ground. I went to him as he got up and he was trying to say something but [y/n] took the hit from behind and rolls around the ground. I just remember Yuffie's warning about a new heartless that can attack and causes abnormalities to the victim. Me and Riku finish them and went to [y/n].
As we went to her, her eyes are close and said "What happen? Guys? Is everything alright?" Riku didn't say something because he was mute as for [y/n] she was blind so I tell her that everything is okay and she nod as we help her up and went back to Merlin's.
"Didn't you hear my warning about the new type of heartless that can cause abnormalities!" Yuffie scream at us as Aerith try to calm her down. "I'm sorry, Yuffie. We'll be careful next time." [y/n] said as she tried to open her eyes but failed. "..." silenced is only can hear from Riku.
"Well, there's an eye medication for [y/n]. As for the echo grass..." Cid said to us. "There's no echo grass!!! It can't be! Riku will be mute forever!" I whined but Cid said with sigh " No its not that is gone. Its a bit hard to find them." "Yeah and their pricey in the market. I'm gonna go find them. So make sure I got paid well for this" Yuffie says casually. I nod and I volunteer to help Yuffie to the find the echo grass.
Third POV
Leon went to the cabinet where the eye medication and lift [y/n]'s chin and he tell to open her eyes. She follow his instructions as she opens her eyes slightly and gently. Riku saw this behind him and felt a twinge of jealousy inside of him. As Leon drop a tear on [y/n]'s eyes, she screamed with a hurtful tone "IT HUUUUUUURRRRRTTTTTSSSS!!!!!!" and rolled over to the ground. Riku then give a intensifying glare to Leon and as for Leon, he was confuse about Riku's attitude.
Then [y/n] stands up and she remembers that she have Riku's blindfold. "I actually had this when you drop it a way back ago." She said with cheerful smile that plastered on her face. She tied it around her eyes and copies Riku's battle stance with her keyblade. "I'm Riku!" she said with smile can't never erased from her face. Riku thought to himself 'Why?' He then walk towards to [y/n] and he pinch her cheeks. He was irritated but he find it funny as [y/n] questioning Riku what he was doing or is he mad.
It was soon interrupted by Leon, "I think you should stay for the night. I'll call Mickey and others," he said. "Really? Thanks!" [y/n] said. "Is it okay if you share one room?" He asked to [y/n] as she sweat dropped and replies with uncertainty "Uh... Sure..."
They went to their room as [y/n] flopped down to the bed with her back of her head is on the pillows and she said "Hmm... half a day seems long... and we were almost done with collecting with the materials.... there's nothing else we can do now before sleeping." "..." Only silenced was once again greeted from Riku.
"Riku, are you here" she asks. Riku put his hand on [y/n]'s head and ruffles it. Then [y/n] put her hand as Riku put his hand down. "Even thought I'm wearing this. I can't see anything. It's total darkness" she said.
"..."
"... Hey Riku, you were always wearing this blindfold in battles right?" she asks as Riku look the corner of his eye to [y/n].
"It's really amazing. Even though you couldn't see anything... It must been tough for you..." she said with a tone of concern.
"......."
"...Riku" she put her hand to Riku as she spoke again. "and also... a feeling...." Riku felt her hands didn't move so he look again and saw a sleeping [y/n] with her mouth is slightly agape and drooling a little. Riku smiled to this. He then kissed [y/n]'s forehead.
{time skip for a bit; still in third}
Soon then [y/n] woke feeling that Riku is gone. She sit up and tried to called out to him but she was greeted by silence. She thought 'I can't feel him... nothing... I can't see anything... just darkness...' she shudders to this thought. She went outside with the walls to support her and went to the opposite direction where the bathroom is located. "So which way is it?" She ask in one particular. She thought to herself once again ' This is bad... really bad! I have no idea where I'm going.... will I be okay if I go along this wall...' "Honestly, Riku... where did you go?" she says as she continues to walk forward.
As she continues to walk forward, she was soon tripped and she began to fall down to the stairs as she screams but a hand was soon grabbed her from the waist. It was Leon, who save her. He asks to [y/n] "What the heck are you doing?" She was panting and tries to catch her breath and replies to Leon "Huh.... Leon?"
Leon sighs and scold her "You shouldn't be walking around with your current state." "S-sorry... You really saved me there..." she said. Leon asks about Riku's location. [y/n] replies as she scratch her cheek " It seems that he was not in the room and that's why... and that's why I-.... take me to the bathroom..."
They soon went to the bathroom and Leon waited [y/n] to go out. She thanked Leon for saving and accompanying her. "Come on, I'll take you back to your room" Leon says but [y/n] declined and she told him she's fine on her own. She waved Leon as she walked away but she was hit by a wall. Leon sighs and pick [y/n] up in bridal style. Her legs dangle on the air and her hand are on her stomach while her head lays on Leon's chest.
"That's why I told you, didn't I?"
" Even though I can walk by myself..."
"It's much more faster to take you back this way, instead of walking so be quiet." Leon said as someone approaches them. It was Riku. They were face to face as the tension thickens. Riku's glare intensifies while Leon was frozen in one place trembling. [y/n] didn't know what's happening so she asks Leon "Leon, what's wrong??"
"Ah.... well.." Leon says as Riku stretch out his hands to give [y/n] to him. Riku tried to speak but it came nothing, not one sound. "Leeon?" [y/n] asks again "Le..." Leon gives [y/n] to Riku and he walks away as [y/n] continues her question "...on? Hn...?" Riku goes back to their room with [y/n] in bridal style. As Leon walks back he start to questions himself "What's with those two..... they are kind of weird... especially Riku...' Poor Leon.
Back to them, "Ah, I finally came back!" As [y/n] flop herself on their bed with her one hand beside her and another one is on her top head. "Even though I only went to the bathroom, it felt like a long time." she rambles on. Riku then grab [y/n]'s face gently and he kissed [y/n] passionately.
[y/n] grabs Riku's torso and she push him gently. "...Eh? Wha- what the? All of a suddden..." she blushes. Then Riku puts his finger on the eyebrow of [y/n] and move down the end of her eyebrow that will give her a signal. "You're brows are furrowed." she continues " Are you in a bad temper? And feeling a bit jealous, Right?" she asks as she sits up. Riku bit [y/n]'s cheek and thought 'Got it right' "Hey! Don't bite me! It hurts!!!!!" she exclaims. She rubs her cheek and says "Geez... Leon was just helping me out because you weren't here, Riku." Riku then grab something in his pocket as [y/n]'s head tilts and asks "Riku?"
Riku grabs [y/n]'s hand and place a pouch that fills the materials they need. [y/n] asks "Eh.. what's this? A pouch... with the materials in it." She place her hand to Riku's cheek as she continues to talk "These... you went to get them?" Riku holds [y/n]'s hand and he tilt his head.
[y/n] continues to talk to Riku " ... You... Dummy! you didn't have to! It's because we were selfish that we ended up like this... not being to see or to speak is painful!" she rambles on "Riku... maybe you were fine when you couldn't see but... it's scary, right? To not be able to see anything again. Only darkness... it;s lonesome, isn't it?" Riku casted his eyes down but he shakes his head. [y/n] felt his signal and says " Liar... I-I'm scared... I can't see a thing" She lays her forehead to Riku's chest as she continues to talk "And I feel lonely if you are not by my side.........."
She hugs Riku and sobs in his shoulders as she talks through her sobs " Sorry for *sobs* acting like a *sobs* spoiled brat... it's just your touch makes me feel safe...." she lean backwards to her normal sitting position as she thank Riku " Oh yeah! Thanks for the mate-" she was cut off by Riku's lips. He parted ways as he saw [y/n]'s blushing red face. He leaned forward to kiss her. [y/n] tries to say something through their kiss. "Hnf.. Hnf... Riku!" They lay down as they continue their make out session.
[y/n] began to talk again "You know I can't see anything.. Riku? Hey! Are you listening?" Riku then trails his kisses down to her neck. "Oi! Riku! she exclaims and continue their make out session.
{time skip in the morning; still in third}
"Looks like you got yer eyesight back." Cid said to [y/n] but she only replies in silence. "Are you also okay, Riku?" asks Sora "...Yeah" Riku replies with uncertainty. Cid continues to talk to them "Well, our goal is to make this experimental product to work in 10 minutes. That would be great... but now [y/n] is inflicted with 'silence' "...." she smile sheepishly as Cid continues "and Riku has 'blindnes'."
"How is that your conditions got switched...?" Sora asks. "Beats me" Riku replies with a shrug as he crosses his hand and as for [y/n], she replies only but silence while she sweat drops. "Until the nullification is over even exchange of body fluids would inflict other effects. That's what I think... would ya agree?" Cid says as [y/n]'s face started to gloom and as for Leon stay silent from the whole conversation.
They went back to their room and sat down on their bed. " Hey you! why are you trembling so much? Riku says even without seeing, he know what happens. "You're getting flustered. And that Face gives it away." Only silence was the reply from [y/n]. She tries to speak but nothing came out. She wrap her arms around Riku's waist and she lays her head on his shoulder as she pouts. There's an awkward silence but Riku broke it. "... Our talk from yesterday, even if I can only see darkness, I'm fine with it because right now you are here with me and that's why. I have no reason to be scared or lonely." Her eyes sparkles and she became flustered again and blushing madly because of Riku's straightforward answer. She went to the bed frame tries to hide her blush as Riku asks "Why did you ran away for?" "Hey [y/n]!" [y/n] thought 'Geez, Riku... Sometimes you can be so embrassing...!'
