Well I hope you guys like it. This is my first Namine fic, so I hope that I get it right. I wanted this to be at least 1,000 words, but I'm sure I can make it a bit shorter and it still has the flavor I was craving for. The ending may be a bit jarring, but I have it realized in my mind and hopefully you can comprehend it as well. Anyway thanks to NorthsideOtaku for betaing this oneshot. So without further ado I hope you enjoy pictures on the wall.
Pictures on the Wall
"I hope this room is to your liking." DiZ sounded. I looked back at the mad man, his burning yellow eyes showing no interests in my well-being. He only craved for revenge, to destroy Organization XIII. With every fiber in his being he wouldn't stop until his goal was fulfilled. And what could I do but solemnly watch. I could not stop him from his rampage for selfless revenge. He had Riku by his side; the Keyblade wielder who resides in the darkness. Was Riku no better? Was he no better than the Organization?
Riku gave into the darkness.
And yet… it was the darkness that made… me?
I hated it.
I hated it more than anything else. Being treated with such care only to know I was thought of as an abomination… no, a witch. I can't find solitude with Riku… with DiZ. But I can make things right. I can rewrite the wrongs that I wrought upon one innocent. It was you…Sora.
The only one who ever cared?
The only one who cared? Even when you found out that the memories I manufactured for you were lies. I was scared that you were going to hate me for what I did. You forgave me and saved me from Marluxia. This is why I do this. Why I take this mental abuse from DiZ. I heard him tell Riku. I heard those words leave his lips. Once I'm done repairing you memories their going to dispose of me… the fate fit of a nobody I suppose.
I'm willing to accept this fate for you.
I'm willing to fade away if it means your smiling face can shine through the darkness. Your heart beaming so bright that even in the next life I can see it. That's why I'm willing to walk towards my fate for you. Why I follow DiZ on his path to self destruction. Why I decorate this white room. Hanging pictures from wall to wall, trying to cover every white spot that tortures my conscious. I try to fill this room with the color; with memories all originating from you, a hall of your memories.
As the room gets for flamboyant with each day, the more people who come to look. Who approach the mansion in search for me? They point their fingers at the current, some even fairing to climb over the fence to get to me. I wish they would leave me alone. That they would leave me in the solitude it took so long to construct. I try to draw so I don't have to cry.
A nobody…isn't supposed to have emotions.
Then why do I feel this way? Am I just Kairi's shadow? Of course I am… just a shadow.
"Namine," A warm hand touching my shoulder.
"Riku," I looked with wonder. Why was my mind so boggled? I ignored his presence, eager as I watched him fall from the container. Happiness spreading across his face as he hugged his two companions. "Sora…"
"We have to go." Riku said growing agitated.
"Thank Namine." Jiminy said. "Now what'd suppose that means."
I didn't know what it meant to Sora now… considering his memories were. As Riku tugged me back, I gave a small smile. Somehow it would all work out. Perhaps this small solitude has remained inside my heart. Maybe this love would still exist if the pictures did as well.
