The Feeling of Belonging

Prologue:
The night wind blew softly in his spiky cinnamon brown hair as the waves lightly splashed his legs, his bright blue eyes staring at the moon. It had been 1 year since he and Riku came back from the World That Never Was. King Mickey had kindly separated Roxas from him and when he walked home he simply introduced Roxas as his long lost twin. His mother had left for the big island and had not returned which hurt him dearly.
"I thought I saw you head out here." Came a voice behind him.
He turned and saw his best friend/crush behind him watching him with his turquoise silver hair moving gently with the wind. Riku came up beside him and sat down. Sora turned his gaze back to the moon.
"What's wrong Sora?" Riku asked seeing the shadows on his friend's face. He knew Sora was hiding the darkness but Riku was familar with shadows so he saw right through Sora's attempt.
"Do you...Do you feel like you don't belong here anymore Riku?" Sora asked softly. So softly that if Riku hadn't been sitting right beside him he probably wouldn't have heard.
"What do you mean? Does this have to do with your mom?" Riku asked. Sora shook his head.
"No...well sort of...it's just everyone had forgotten me Riku...Yeah sure they remembered me after seeing me but in all honesty they forgot who I was...Somehow I feel like I don't belong here anymore...Yeah it was my home but now not so much...Do you think that's stupid?" Sora asked looking at his friend now. Riku sighed. Honestly he felt like he no longer belonged he either but didn't say anything because they had made a promise they would stay together. Now that Sora felt this way then maybe it wasn't just him.
"No Sora that's not silly at all. I've felt the same way too for awhile. I just thought maybe it was just me. Maybe were the ones to change but not the islands. I mean we've seen things and been to places that nobody on the island has." Riku said.
"Do you think that when we changed it was good or bad?" Sora asked. Riku finally looked into his frend's eyes.
"i think maybe it was for the better Sora...I mean we matured more don't you think?" He stated. Sora smiled and nodded.
"Come on let's go get some sleep...Maybe we can write to king Mickey and ask him why we feel this way." Riku said standing and brushing off the sand on his pants. Sora nodded and stood as well. "And if he says we leave then we leave together." Riku added. Sora looked back at him and nodded.
"Together."
