10 Steps of the Dawn
:: you could say i am.. the biggest nobody of them all. ::
Riku's life had always been relatively simple. He was just a small boy, born on a small island. Nothing less, nothing more. But he knew of much more, other worlds… something beyond his island.
He'd always talk about the possibility of another world to the other island kids, and they'd just grin and nod, replying with a, "Yeah, that sounds cool!"
Riku would just sigh, knowing none of them really truly understood. They were stuck in the mindset of their tiny world… but the story his mother told him would always stick with him.
The day she came to the Islands, he was convinced that she must have came from another world. And that was the day Riku's obsession with Kairi began, making sure he'd spend the most time with her and just… learn, soak it all in.
And over time, Riku grew to love her. But Kairi cared for him, but he knew that her interests was in something else.
Someone else.
Him.
