*late reply, whoops* Actually, I believe Meg (lazulisong) once refered to it as the "Sueblade" or somesuch.
...Okay, yeah, I haven't got a lot to counter that. There's speculation on my part, followed by suggested reasons (he was surprised to see her there/get hugged out of the blue?), but not really much ^^a Still, in friendly defence of my OT3 (and in the spirit of good-natured arguments), Kairi did figure out that it was Riku before Sora, and they did kinda stand there for a number of minutes holding hands together. Anyway, Sora already knew that he had Kairi; he was finding Riku again for the first time after looking for him for so long and not knowing when he'd see him again.
I would also like to concede that I'm pretty sure we were never explicitley shown who Sora was thinking of when he got embarrassed around Disney characters "getting their mack on" (quote... somebody), so people are free to work that however they like ¦D
On a personal history note, we got our copy of Kingdom Hearts shortly after I was finally getting comfortable with yaoi. (I didn't even know I was a yaoi fan until I picked up a copy of DNAngel, I'm ashamed to admit ^^a) So I saw the chemestry between Riku and Sora, but I also saw Sora and Kairi, and even Kairi and Riku (♥), and was rooting for an OT3 from the get-go. ...And then there's the canon whore in me, who knew that Disney, at least, wanted Sora and Kairi, so I had to acknowledge it somehow -_-a It's also what fueld my defensive reaction to Roxas/Naminé, and kneejerk OT3-ing.
So, uh, yeah. Ball's in your court? Though at the end I expect I'll probably just agree to disagree, it's still interesting to hear different viewpoints and what's behind them.
