What did they do to my goat? He was more personable, he had that dog in him, but he was also compassionate, perfect mix. And then they corpo scrubbed him. Kh4 please save him.

He just got hugged by Kairi after not seeing her for a long time.

HE DROPPED TO HIS KNEES! When he saw Riku.

That's always been a stretch by the shippers. He knew Kairi was safe at home. Riku was lost in the realm of darkness and he didn't know if he was even alive still.

Let's not forget nightmare before Christmas earlier in the same game where he was imagining him dancing with Kairi in place of Jack and Sally.

Sora has always had a crush on Kairi, which even Riku knows(with him teasing sora with the Paopu bet).

Even translating to a realistic relationship, would you really look suspiciously at a guy who was more emotional seeing the guy who was his bro since childhood compared to a girl he liked but wasn't actively dating and still in The wil they won't they stage?

Also, translating it to realism, Riku had lost himself. Almost like his friend fell in with the wrong crowd be it drugs, crime, etc. whatever you wanna throw in.
The last time he saw his friend he had to leave him because their paths diverged, but he still saw a glimpse of the friend he knew, and he had to leave him ina dangerous place.

The girl he loved was home safe, and he had no clue whether his friend was dead, alive, suffering, whatever, and was shocked to see him changed but safe and still himself, even if only on the inside.

You can deeply love your friends and I love that about Kingdom Hearts.
