Exaaaaactly. They both have such different perceptions of the rivalry. And with how Sora is sweet but not the brightest kid, and Riku is not exactly up front about his insecurities, Sora just has NO IDEA this problem is happening. Woe.
And yeah, that sounds like a pretty good diagnosis of Riku. He's another one who's myopic about himself, I think - he likes Sora and Kairi because they're Sora and Kairi, but he fails to comprehend that they can like him for the same reasons. He has to PROVE himself, he has to be WORTHY of being liked.
(... which is totally going to come into play in the Doomy Death AU. Man, the biggest challenge of this is going to be keeping Riku alive long enough for a happy ending. Angsting to death is a very real possibility for him. o_o;;)
Oh, those poor, stupid boys. Why did it have to take them three games to start communicating. D:
