Sora ✠ derping | Kingdom Hearts I

Logs: I - II - III - IV
★
Best Friend. Hero of the Keyblade.
Sora is one of the few persons that Riku is willing to do absolutely anything for; no matter the costs to himself. Back home he is currently sleeping while his memory is being restored, though Riku was glad to find out that he would awaken in near future. He is quite a little less glad about the point of time the tower has chosen to pull him from, as the Sora in the tower has no idea what has/will happen between them, making everything... quite a little awkward. They are maybe kind of working on it?

Kairi ✠ luckycharmed | Kingdom Hearts I

Logs: I
★
Best Friend. Princess of Heart.
Kairi is the other person in all worlds that Riku would absolutely go all out for (and actually has already). He used to have a crush on her, and while his feelings have faded a little in that regard in his time spent traveling the worlds, he is still very fond of her. Even in Hollow Bastion, he's never lost his faith in their friendship. This makes facing her now in some regards less and in some even more difficult than facing Sora.

Naminé ✠ lethechained | Kingdom Hearts II

Logs: I - II - III - IV - V - VI - VII
★
Partner in Crime. Kairi's Nobody.
Naminé is perhaps the person that Riku trusts most of all. She has seen him at his best and his worst, she understands him on a level that neither Sora nor Kairi do - that he doesn't want them to understand either - and she knows why he does things and/or feels that he has to do them. That being said, Naminé is the one he goes to for advice and to talk over decisions that won't affect just himself and/or are made for other people's benefit. Sometimes it seems like she knows more than she lets on, but that's okay. He won't press her to tell him anything beyond what she deems necessary, because he trusts her absolutely and knows she won't betray that.

Xion ✠ keybladetheft | Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

Logs: I - II - III - IV
★
Trusted Friend. Sora's Replica.
While not quite to the same degree as Naminé, Xion has become an important and (mostly) trusted friend to Riku, which makes knowing the choices he had to lay out to her and her ultimately fate all the harder. He is maybe kind of glad that she has ended up in the tower, that she has been given a chance to be with her friends and to make memories - ones that don't involve the Organization's plans. There may be certain truths that he will always keep secret, but he has sworn never to lie to her.

Roxas ✠ lamentless | Kingdom Hearts II

Logs: n/a
★
????. Sora's Nobody.
Though Riku has yet to confront Roxas himself (back home as well as in the tower), the fact that capturing him will lead to Sora's awakening pretty much confirms him as Sora's Nobody. There is nothing he can do here in that regard though and Naminé has asked him to keep his distance, a promise he has kept so far. They probably won't be able to avoid each other forever though... right?

Aqua ✠ prayerless | Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep

Logs: I
★ ★
Visitor from the Past. Keybearer.
Though their initial meeting in the tower didn't leave Riku with a very positive impression of her, Namine's vouch for her and Aqua's willingness to a.) take both Sora and Kairi under her wing and b.) tell him the details about the events from eleven years before have changed his opinion. While he still has some concerns left they are more related to himself than to her and the fact that he is trusting her to take care of both his best friends should in his eyes speak for itself.
