AN: I've had this written for a while, but I haven't had time to type it up until now. As ever, characters don't belong to me.
She loved him yesterday, but times move on. She's moved on. If you asked her about it, she'd lie, and pretend she never cared. But it's obvious, if you've seen them together. He was completely indifferent, while she hung on his every word.
I suppose I'd better explain who I'm talking about, as if you didn't know. She, of course, is Kairi, while he is Sora. Until about a month ago, everyone thought they'd end up together, and it would have been the perfect fairy tale ending to this weird story we've been living. But life isn't like in the books, and things can go wrong. Or in this case, someone can fall in love with someone else that they were never supposed to, and that's what happened here.
Sora fell head over heels for Roxas, which is something none of us ever expected. And what's more, Roxas actually returned his feelings. I guess people thought he'd end up with Naminé. It's strange really – Roxas and Naminé are Sora and Kairi's Nobodies – or part of their souls, if you want to be specific.
She asked me what she'd done wrong – what made him turn to Roxas for love and affection, instead of to her. I wasn't much comfort to her, I'm afraid. Told her that you can't control your heart, or who you might fall in love with, and how sometimes it's the most unexpected person.
She's spent nearly all of the last month crying about it, which is a waste of time if you ask me, but that's what she's done. What's wrong with me, she asks, and the answer is nothing. There's nothing wrong with her at all, and someday she'll find someone who loves her for who she is. Sora just isn't that person. You have to have hope, I tell her. Some of the time, I even think she believes me.
AN: An angsty one shot about Kairi and unrequited love. Reviews are always appreciated.
