..DO I EVEN NEED TO SAY IT?
THIS IS OLD. I'M REPOSTING IT. kthx.
Sometimes Riku kind of wishes he'd never found that stupid bottle. Sure that means the two of you would still be stuck on that stupid beach in the dark, but at least then you'd be stuck on a stupid beach alone. Nothing personal about Kairi, but she kind of gets in the way.
You understand, right?
Things weren't supposed to work out this way. ..You weren't supposed to make it home. Sora, don't you remember? "We'll be the darkness." Whatever happened to that? You and Riku were supposed to stay there, together forever. Didn't you want that?
Well of course you did. Until he found that goddamn letter. In that goddamn bottle. On that goddamn beach. Goddammit.
And then you thought something kind of like this: 'Oh, that's right. I forgot all about Kairi. She's back at home. I should go find her.'
So then it was "we'll go together," and the two of you walked right into that light. And, hell, it could have been the death of you. Do the words 'don't go into the light' mean anything to you guys? You didn't know that shining portal was going to take you home. It could have sucked you in and ripped you apart until you screamed so loud you went deaf. And then you might have just died.
But at least that would have been more romantic, thinks Riku.
So you walked into that light and then— what in the name of all that is good and green on Destiny Islands? Oh, you and Riku were… flying through the air like a fucking comet. Yeah. That's kind of cool… until you realize oh, shit, I'm flying through the air and where the hell am I flying to?
Home.
And you hit the ocean with a wonderful splash. As you surfaced, shaking the droplets of water from your eyes, you saw her. Kairi, standing on that beach, smiling and waving, like she'd been expecting you. And maybe she had. So you swam and ran and hurtled through the water, to the beach, to her.
Riku tried to keep up, but maybe he didn't really want to.
"We're back."
"You're home."
And things haven't really been working out the way he wanted since that moment. Sometimes Riku kind of wishes he'd never found that stupid bottle.
