One: "Pull over. Let me drive for a while."
"Pull over. Let me drive for a while." Studying his face, Xion can see the bags under Riku's eyes. She has no idea how long he's been awake, how many sleepless nights he's endured. "It's not safe."
He sighs, and she's scared he's going to say no again, but it's a tired sound. He slows down the car and pulls over, leaning back in his seat once it stops to rub at his eyes.
Once their positions were switched and she was driving, she only relaxed when his quiet snoring finally proved he was getting some much needed sleep.
Author: I'm going to keep the notes to a minimum on this one (re-reading my other drabble series has been fun at times, haha!) but at least on this first one I wanted to give a small explanation for the inspiration to do THIS one when I'm not even finished the song challenge yet. Truth be told, I hit a bit of a wall of late inspiration-wise (anyone who follows my tumblr may know more, suffice to say life has thrown several curve-balls at me this past year and I've been in near-constant grief for a while...) but I saw a post on tumblr last week that sparked THIS fic, so here I am.
(The post was actually "100 Ways to say I love you" but it's a list of several statements that say it without really saying it, which fits Riku and Xion way too well.)
Anyway, I'm hoping this will re-ignite the spark for my other series, too, so if all goes well I should pick it up again too and alternate between things a bit. I need more RikuXi in my life, to be honest. xD
Next time: "It reminded me of you."
