AN: This is a ficlet done for one of those random song memes where you put your music player on shuffle and write a drabble/ficlet based on the songs so…yeah. This is one of the four I'm posting.
:It's Good to be in Love:
(Frou Frou)
I'm an idiot.
I may have lived in denial about it for years, but I can own up to it now. That's the only way I can explain how I'm standing here playing best man at the wedding of my best friend and love of my life when he had all but offered his heart up to me on a silver platter. And what did I do? I chose Kairi. Kairi who everyone said I was destined to be with. Kairi who apparently looked so perfect on my arm. Kairi...who just really isn't the right fit for me when you come down to it. Too bad it took me this long to realize.
Yep. And idiot. That's me.
Of course there's nothing I can do about it now. Namine is looking just about as beautiful and happy as she ever has, and the thing that gets me, that stings like a slap to the face followed by a swift punch to the gut...
...Riku does too.
I thought there was supposed to be only one. I thought that I was the center of his universe, the only one he could ever truly love. He wasn't supposed to be able to be that happy without me. Yet...there he is, smiling that smile that used to be reserved for me and only me. It hurt.
So there it goes; the future that was supposed to be mine. Gone. But I can't really begrudge him his happiness. I love him enough to be glad for him, congratulate him, be there for him through any of the hard times to come. It'll have to be enough. After all, he was mine and I let him go. I guess I'll just have to start over from here. Maybe my other happily ever after is out there somewhere, waiting for me to find it, too.
