Goes along with the posted "From the Sidelines." This would be the conversation Xion and Riku have while Terra and Ven are watching... this, however, was written before the idea for the other was even conceived. I'm forgetful like that. This drabble contains NO SPOILERS for 3D, just adorable RikuXion fluffiness... or, at least, what I consider adorable fluffiness... Enjoy!
In whatever corner of her mind not swallowed up in angled, soulful eyes, Xion wonders if this is how it feels to have her lungs collapse; there's more than enough air in the area for the two of them, but despite her attempts, she can't seem to inhale any of it.
The hand gripping her wrist, probably feeling the semblance of a pulse racing under its fingers, could likely break her bones with little effort, but now it's gentle as it glides over her skin, down her hand to intertwine the graceful fingers with her own stubby ones.
Riku breathes deeply inches away from her, and Xion glances at him just as he focuses on their hands. "I missed you, too, Xion," he murmurs, and then those scary deep eyes pierce hers again. "And you're welcome... Thank you for everything."
