Title: My Homecoming Queen
Rated: K between Teen
Pairing: Riku/Namine
Disclaimer: Do not own Kingdom Hearts. If I did well I don't think it would be rated E for everyone.. Maybe it's a good thing Square-enix take really good of them.
It's been five years since I last saw her. The picture beside my bed keep me from forgetting her face. A crappy photo of us winning King and Queen of home-coming senior year of high school of Twilight Town.
She was my angel in that lace cover white silk dress. An angel with a dirty face. 80% devil. 20% angel was how I describe Namine to someone. Our class adored her, mostly because when it come to looks, Namine was next to none. But her party and having to fun is what broke us up.
One of Roxas neighbor invited us to one his weekend party. Axel, was like a cool uncle who say 'yes' to anything your Mom tell you 'no' on. He supply the best party favor and always has his friend hanging around.
Because of that party, a one night event has left me with nothing but the what if. Looking back now I've seen all the pressure Namine was under. The pressure she become a casuality too. Maybe that's why she wanted to cut loose that night. Drinking anything Axel supply, trying any shots Zexion created.
I lost her that night to some tall skinny guy with pink hair, blue eyes, who promise her everything under the sun. I lost her for good when I didn't stop them from leaving. Right out of high school she move in with him. Leaving this small town for the big city life of Radiant Garden.
She had a lot to prove with so many to please. I hope she alright and that loser she with isn't draining her of all the life she once had. I have a feeling our destiny are bound to cross once more as I end up on a road trip with Kairi, Sora, and Roxas. A few wrong turns later and we end up in the same town someone been living in.
"Kairi? Sora? Roxas? Riku? What are you guys doing here?" Entering in what look like a flower ship in hope of getting directions. Coming face to face with my ex. Some long blond hair, same angelic like face and icy blue eyes with dark circle under them now. Her once healthy figure gone now as she look like a walking corpse. Counting every bone in her body was an under statement.
"Namine! Oh my god!" Leave it to the two girls to squeal at the site of each other as I just stood back.
Thinking back to the photo beside my bed, back to the party that end us. I wish I could've save her back then. She had so much potential, one of the best art student. Had a chance to go to one of the best art school in the country. But that loser, Marluxia, drag her away from all of that.
He drain her of everything. Leaving me with only the what if of my Homecoming Queen. Maybe it was true. Maybe I never did truly see her. Maybe that's the real shame in all of this.
Well, shame, shame, shame on me for what happen next. I told her I would let her go find happiness. Standing a few feet from her. I don't see any happiness on her pale face.
Sitting at the coffee shop a week later. "It's a real shame he left without a trace. I wonder who convince him to leave." She smiled over at taking a slip from her cup.
"I guess he's just like everyone else. He just looking for someone else to love him."
Namine was somebody's daughter who left everyone she knew to find right someone to love. She was my angel, who become the Homecoming Queen,who hook up with the wrong someone, who I threw out of her apartment. Maybe I'm just tired of living with the what ifs and ready to live with the what's now.
A/n: I'm working on some more idea that some of you suggest to me. It's slow-moving but I hope to have something done soon. Thanks for reading and sorry for my mistake.
