She calls to him when he sits on the beach, aching for his presence, stroking the corners of his mouth and it takes everything in his power to pull himself away. He walks down to the city, where he's safe and she can't get him, until night β night she overtakes him. He screams, he's sweating and he's scared shitless. He can't move. He can't breath, and his keyblade seems farther away then the edge of his fingertips. He curls his fingers around the hilt as she wraps herself around his throat, redeeming his heart.
He wakes up screaming. Sora and Kairi by his side. "It was just a nightmare." They both say, but they're both have sweat on their brows and lies on their tongues β so Riku just nods. He pretends to go along with them, and maybe they can pretend that nothing ever existed. Just like that boy with the blond hair, and that bottle that the mouse had sent.
He leans up against the wall, and watches them drift back to sleep; hand in hand. Whispering good nights, and I love yous. Riku's fingers curl against his knees, and he can't breath because there she is kissing good night kisses on his mouth. And as much as he wants to break away, and as much as he wants to screams for help β he can't.
He's choking on darkness. Her tongue hits his, then goes straight down, down, down. Past his throat, pass his stomach making herself flow through his blood stream. She wraps her cold fingers against his heart and squeezing tight, sometimes Riku just wishes they'd never come rescuing him. Maybe then, she'd leave him alone. He knows better, she's beating along with him in his heart now.
Part of him, never wants to let her go.
Holy shit kingdom hearts. :O
