Destiny Island, to Sora it means innocence, escape, and sanctuary. He rows the little boat across the sparkling water disturbing the eerie silence with each stroke. Shivering in the nighttime air, he runs from his nightmares that haut him in the dark. The wind buffets his disheveled hair, and he almost laughs at himself. How did I end up like this, I'm the keybearer for goodness sakes? The boat reaches the shore, and almost instantly he jumps out, cool water swirling around his ankles, already calming his nerves.
Then something down the beach catches his eye, moonlight glints on silver, revealing Riku lying on the shore, the waves lap up against his body as Sora calls his name but he does not answer. Sora runs over feet splashing in the cool surf, stumbling through the darkness to his friend. Sapphire eyes travel from Riku's pale features and silver hair sprawled carelessly in the dark sand, a glint in the sand rips his attention away and his eyes catch on the cool edge of a razor blade. All to quickly his stomach feels sick, as his eyes dart to the pools of blood mixing in the pure dark water flowing from Riku;s wrist.
His heart stops.
"RIKU RIKU!" he screams and falls to his knees in the wet sand beside the boy. Incoherently murmuring a slur of "no, wake up, stop it, why, no, you can't, no" His trembling pale hands reach out and drag the boy's cold body into his lap and he holds him tightly against his chest. He manages for a moment to keep control long enough to stop the bleeding. But 5 seconds later the boy buries his face in Riku's hair. Sobbing, he can feel his hot breath on Riku's wet frozen skin.
"Riku, you have to wake up, I need you, you're my light, Riku!" Tears are streaming down his face, and his vision is blurring, looking up at the stars the world beings to reel. He clings to Riku, crying harder, pulling him closer.
It's quite now, only the tide continues. Sora does not move.
A sharp gasp of breath a quite whimper, but they don't come from Sora.
Silence again.
Riku? He mutters softly, not daring to hope.
An aquamarine eye flutters open.
Sora's heart skips a beat.
"Riku!" He breaks down again. Still holding him, " I though" he chokes on his tears "I though, I'd lost you".
More tears, Sora doesn't even bother to wipe them away as the fall on the boy in his arms, who he refuses to let go. Riku is still silent, he doesn't look at the crying boy, he can't. He only leans ever so slightly closer to the warmth.
"I'm sorry" Riku says, it's soft, but Sora's listening.
Blue eyes filled with tears meet Riku's.
"I couldn't live without you, I don't know what I would do…"
"You would be better off" the other insists.
Sora freezes. He looks down at the boy in his arms. How could he say that after everything…
"no" he says but Sora knows that it's not enough
"riku…riku" Riku turns his head and their eyes meet again for a moment. A tear winds it's way down Riku's pale cheek, Sora moves to wipe it away. Riku's hand stops him, and he looks away closing his eyes.
Sora still shaking with shock, reaches for Riku, and pulls him back. For a second the world around them freezes, their eyes lock, inches from each other.
Their kiss is sloppy, Sora's hot lips on Riku's ice cold ones, but it's true. Neither pulls away.
Sora whispers, "Without you I'd die". Riku gasps ever so slightly, reaches for Sora, and pulls him in to his arms, silent. They fall back in to the sand, and the cool water laps up against their feet, and they lay entwined, holding each other, tighter every second.
"Sometimes… the darkness is too much…alone"
"I know… we'll be each other's light"
Besides that, I've become a bit obsessed with Riku/Sora lately, and I was wondering, if this is allowed, it I could ask, for good fic recommendations, or good AMV's, Pictures, pretty much anything you know of, or have to offer would be really really loved.
