A/N: I have absolutely no idea where this came from, or what it is. If people think I should turn it into something, feel free to say so – click the shiny purple button all the way on the bottom and type away. This might turn into the Riora fic I was talking about ((see profile)), but I'm not sure...
I DON'T OWN KINGDOM HEARTS, OR SQUARE ENIX, OR EVEN AN AXEL PLUSHIE FOR THAT MATTER.
laffinchik, over 'n out!
Fading Light
"I'm sorry, Riku!" I heard myself say, despite the tears running done my face. I knew he was shocked, anxious to leave. I could see it in his eyes, his shoulders. "I'm sorry you had to do it alone!" My hand refused to let go of his, no matter how hard he tried to pull away. "It shouldn't have been that way, and I'm sorry!" My voice faded, almost too quiet to hear, "It should have been me. Please, let me try to fix it. Let me try to make it better. Please."
It's so quiet. Did I really ruin this peace?
"Why?" he blurts out, voice shaking. "Why do you want to come with me so bad?"
"Because I love you." The tears wash my face anew, leaving shimmering tracks in their wake.
"Sora, if you love me, then stay."
"I can't." It's so hard to blink, to think. I don't want to close my eyes against this anymore. I want to see you! I want to see you you even if you can't see me. I want to see you even if you won't see me. "It hurts when you're gone. And it hurts knowing you won't come back." Is it because of me? Do you hate me that much?
Riku sighed, staring down at our hands, mine still squeezing the life out of his fingers, despite his think gloves. "Fine."
"Thank you." I couldn't smile. I knew this was wrong, but what else could I do? Just wait for someone to come and tell me he was dead? Mourn the moment he left? As if I didn't do that already. I can't live without him. Not then, not now, not ever. This way, I know he won't be alone, no matter where he goes.
I felt the air grow still around me, and cold. Riku stepped toward the dark portal, almost indistinguishable from the seemingly black wall.
"Well? Are you coming?"
I nod, refusing to let the fear show on my face. Not fear for me, but for him. The one person who could make everything right for me, or himself. And I can't let him pick me.
His hand tugs mine gently, the way it would if there was a "we" instead of "you and me." I let Riku pull me along, following him into the dark.
