Familiarity Chapter One

Mika Kay-I wrote this earlier this year, the first day KH:BBS came out, before I had done much more then watch the opening sequence, so ignore any discrepancies. I was thinking of the strange flashes the characters get, the near-memories and decided that Ven would get flashes from Sora/Roxas as well as his own sense of the future/past.

Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, or any of the characters, just this unique combination of words.


Familiarity One

Ven

This seems...familiar somehow. That at some point, I was somewhere, looking up at the stars, wondering what was out there, dreaming of one day leaving this place. I smile and laugh when Aqua startles me, but the disquieting feeling doesn't go away. The way Terra and I fight reminds me of someone else, someone with the same intent dark-rimed eyes. I know I've never left this place, but I keep thinking of a bright sun and the sound of waves. A salty-sweet taste fills my mouth as the three of us sit on the ledge, watching the midnight stars. None of these things are familiar, yet I feel as though I have known these things all my life. As Aqua gives Terra his charm, I marvel at how beautiful it is, for a moment free of the unfamiliar familiarity, but then she throws me one and I think of sweet fruit and salty ice-cream as it lands in my hand, even though I've never had such things. I slip the charm into my pocket, leaving behind the strange almost recollections. i look back at the others and can almost physically feel that unbreakable connection that Aqua mentions. The three of us walk back together as the stars twinkle and fade overhead. As I walk with them, I no longer feel the pull of the stars, the longing to be elsewhere. instead, I feel content, a strange relief that we were all together. It would be the last night we spent under the same stars.
