AN: I know, I know, another Kairi/Naminé story. Well, this one is prompt number 5 on the 100 Challenge - "Seeking Solace".
Sanctuary. That's what she is to me – my sanctuary. The one who keeps me calm when all I want to do is scream and shout; the one who comforts me and tells me that it wasn't my fault, that I had no choice.
I still feel guilty about what I did to Sora, Kairi and Riku – erasing their memories and replacing them with falsehoods. Lies. When I'm with her, though, I feel as though I've been forgiven. I have.
She tells me that it doesn't matter what I did before, and all she cares about is what I do now. I believe her, because she's Kairi, the Princess of Heart, and she wouldn't lie to me. She wouldn't lie to anyone. Even so, I have difficulty accepting it when she says she loves me, but that's down to my own insecurities, and nothing at all to do with her. I do love her, but I don't feel worthy of her affections – after all, I'm just a Nobody who happens to be part of her soul.
She's the one who makes me feel safe and loved, because I know, with her, that I am.
I call her my sanctuary, my salvation, because she rescued me from my existence in the castle, modifying the memories of people I'd never met. I didn't know them, but I felt as though I had a connection to them. Now, of course, I know that I did.
