Disclaimer: Kingdom Heart doesn't belong to me.
My first KH fanfic.
Alone
Sometimes she feels much older than him for all he does is pity himself while she always tries to stay happy (and it's really hard) and sometimes she feels much younger than she actually is. She wants to be immature and childish because that mean she's not grown up yet. She knows that he hates himself but in Traverse Town there are no shadows to hide in and there are too many shadows within their hearts. He feels lost and doesn't want to be found (not yet anyway).
Don't they all feel that way, Leon?
She feels jealous when he sits on his bed and speaks of her (which only happens on rare occasions when Cid has tricked him into drinking too much) but it's not because she loves him. She's completely fine by herself – or so she tells herself everyday and almost believes it – but it breaks her heart that he at least had someone special to lose while she had none.
They are all lonely but none of them are alone and sometimes they wish they were.
He speaks of white wings and flower fields that go on forever, and she sits on the floor with big eyes and mouth open and she thinks of the colour red.
She's almost starting to forget but only almost because Aerith helps her to remember and she hates it. She wants to forget and at the same time she wants nothing more than to go back in time and let everything go back to the way they were before.
She's felt more emotions in Traverse Town than she ever had before. Even though she tries to be happy all the time she mourns for what she never had and for what he has lost and sometimes she weeps herself to sleep.
They are all lonely but none of them are alone and sometimes they wish they were.
