Disclaimer: I wish I owned Kingdom Hearts... or just Riku even.
"Dreamer: noun," you say. "1: Someone who is dreaming. - A bit obvious that one is. - 2: Someone guided more by ideals than by practical considerations synonyme: idealist 3: A person who escapes into a world of fantasy." You look at me with those eyes of yours. If I didn't know you well, I may be intimidated by the emotions in your eyes.. Lucky I do. You flip some pages.
"Lover," you say with a laugh. "Noun. One who loves another, espically one who feels sexual love." You giggle and look at me. I fight a smile. Failing, as usual. Your eyes are full of light. I feel so complete when you look at me like that, despite my other worries.
"Hero: noun," you say; your voice is much softer now. "A person noted for feats of courage or nobility of purpose, especially one who has risked or sacrificed his or her life." Your eyes. They are killing me now. You purse your lips, and you glance away from me, thinking of how to put your next words. "I guess by that standard, you are a hero." I feel my cheeks burn. "You'd be my hero, any way they defined the word." I take your hands in mine. They feel so small, so gentle within my larger, callused hands.
"Kairi..."
"Don't say anything, Sora. Just let the words be."
I pull her into an embrace, we stay there for a good, long time.
