Some people don't see it that way, unfortunately, as I'm sure you know.
I know. But when two of my closest
male friends tell me to keep SoRiku away because they like the friendship too much, I respect that, and know that anyone who dislikes SoRiku is most likely a homophobe prick who never had a real friend in his life.
*stops being extreme now*
At the time, I didn't exactly know that Kairi's heart was inside him. I just thought he was a hormonal 14 year old who had a crush on his best friend. *shrug*
I knew about the best friend part, but then again it raises the question of
1) why didn't he see Riku either
2) why didn't he see Kairi since
And while not knowing initially, you
do know eventually, and it throws it all under a completely different light.
Sora might've cared, but that's not why he saw visions of her - it was because she
made him. he had no control over it.
Yes, but Kairi having no depth is why I don't like SoKai. I never really meant to link SoRiku and Kairi having no depth together. I like SoRiku for more than just Kairi being worthless.
And I never said that should be the case.
It certainly helps though. I mean, look at me liking SoNami more than I do SoRiku - I like both, which means I
could've like SoKai regardless of SoRiku.
Kairi sucking and thus SoKai as well, at least for KH1, left a lot of people with no option
but SoRiku to like and fan over (it being an amazing relationship aside - there were no alternatives, as opposed to when Namine was introduced for both Sora and Riku as a potential partner).
Kairi was only interested in Sora, which is kinda sweet at the same time that it's really creepy, because, seriously, Riku went through a lot during KH1 to retrieve her body, though he might have also been doing it to compete and show up Sora. But I'm sure that he cared about Kairi in some way, just like Sora did.
Riku is a completely affectionate guy :I Kairi being Kairi and rolling her eyes at him is what wrecked what might've been there.
I'm not a Kairi lover by any means. I'm just not a hater. Can't hate what's not there, really.
what's not there is the good in her. her being a bitch to Riku is more than based though, and that's what got me from being like you to actively hate her.
