Disclaimer: Not mine! - runs and cries in corner-
Authors Notes: Taken from an obvious moment in the game, the bit were Sora see's Riku again, just a warning for anyone not up to there! And I swear that Sora is not shallow!!! Lolz.
Dark Sunrise
A breath.
Riku?
Kairi's still there, still talking. My mind's still stuck on you. I close my eyes.
Riku? Could it really be y-
A touch.
Exhale.
A brilliant explosion of light and dark and frightningly hopeful anticipation.
I gasp, it's all I can do. It's really-
Riku...
You look so tence, so unsure.
The moment pauses, electrifies, and I can't look away - can't look at all because if I do I know you'll be gone again.
Riku... I have to tell you-
A shift.
Eyelids flutter.
You look unmoved, icy, defiant. I can feel the almost shudder in your hand where it's still connected to mine.
Riku... only now...
My words fail me, catch and give up.
I fall to my knees.
Yours isn't the face I...
I search eyes that arn't yours, find nothing - everything I expected.
Riku I...
Your hand twitches in mine.
My first tear falls, releif and sadness intertwined.
"Riku," I manage.
My throat closes over though and I just can't say it.
Just can't say...
I love you Riku.
I just can't say it to any face but yours.
