A/N: Hi there! I know I should probably be working on my other stuff, but today I found this and decided to clean it up a bit. It originally started as a RikuSora drabble for my friend, but then it became... something else and now I'm uploading the Prologue! I almost have the first chapter done, so it should be up in the next day or so, and right after that I shall start working on WYWY again, I promise!
This entire fic is from Riku's POV.
Pairings:RikuSora, some AkuRoku.
Rated:T for language and stuff.
Summary:I broke one promise, then another, all the while breaking the one person who held us all together.

For you
chapter oo. Indroduction: His Reason Why
I had seen him before. In fact, I see him all the time. We go to the same school here in Destiny Islands. In this cage, surrounded by water we like to call home. In this paradise where everyone smiles and greets each other on the streets, in this small world covered with palm trees… It's beautiful. My room has the perfect view of the ocean, and I wake every morning to the sight of gently rolling waves on the shore. It's so different from the crowded streets in Hallow Bastion….
I hate it here.
It's perfect. Nothing is out of place. Even the piece of paper blowing across the street seems to fit in with this paradise. And that's exactly why I hate to live here. I'm not perfect. I don't fit in. I've messed up so many times in my life… that's why we're here in the first place. All because of a stupid mistake I made.
I should listen to people more often. Alone, I won't be able to do anything. I should know that by now, more than anyone. I broke one promise, and in the process, broke the one person who held us all together. Don't they hate me? They said it was alright… They said it didn't matter. There was nothing I could do.
But they don't know.
They don't know what I did; they won't be able to understand. That don't know what I really mean when I say I'm sorry.
I….I did something horrible. I don't like to think about it, but I always find my mind drifting back to the events that took place that day. I play it again, over and over in my mind. If I had just done one thing differently, maybe she wouldn't have broken down like she did. Would Cloud still be smiling? Would Yuffie still be the little crybaby I had grown to love? Would Leon not have hated me? Would Vincent not be sick? Would…. They still be alive?
I knew the answer. Yes, Cloud would still smile. Yes, Yuffie would still be that little crybaby. No, Leon would not have hated me. Yes, Vincent wouldn't have gotten sick. Yes, they would still be here.
I can't stand living in this perfect world. No matter how hard I try, I know I'll mess up somewhere. I know that by the time I leave this place, it won't be perfect any more. How can these people greet me so warmly? How can they become my friends when I know I'll make them miserable? I know I'll mess up their lives…. Why am I letting this charade go on? I'm messed up. No good will come from me. Why do I wear this mask every day?
Actually, I have a reason. I'm not being selfish. I do it all for him.
All because I promised him one little thing.

A/N: Is it even any good? Should I even bother posting the next chapter, or is this just a lost cause? Please review. I'll love you forever.
