AN: Someone said I should write more Sora/Roxas oneshots, so here's another one for you.
Kairi asked me why I still do this – fight the Heartless, travel to all the different worlds, never staying long in any one place. She's living in the Destiny Islands again, and thinks I should go back there too. I can't, I told her. The Keyblade chose me, so this is what I have to do.
Truth is, the Islands just don't feel like home any more. It's strange, because for so long I was desperate just to get back there. They say home is where the heart is, and for me, that's wherever you are. You had my heart from the first day we ever met, Roxas.
If the Heartless ever do disappear completely, it's you I'll be running to, not Kairi, though she doesn't know it yet. I keep my visits to her and Riku short, but you… I have to tear myself away every time. It never seems to be long enough – there's always a new emergency I have to deal with.
One day, Roxas, we'll be together, and then you'll be trying to get rid of me for a bit. Until then, I'll keep fighting, keep banishing the Heartless back to wherever they came from.
I don't do it to be a hero, or to save the world. I don't even do it because I'm the only one who can. I do it for you, and only you, Roxas.
AN: If you liked it, leave a review to tell me. Even if you didn't, leave one to tell me why not.
