AN: This one... came out of nowhere, really. It's an angsty, short one. Prompt number 31 - "what hurts the most".
Don't tell me that we shouldn't be doing this, please. I've heard it all before, from everybody else. I know you're only with me because you miss Sora, and I look like him – the only difference is that I'm blond and he's dark. I know that and I accept it. After all, I'm just a Nobody, right? I couldn't possibly have actual feelings, emotions, because I don't have a heart. I'm just a remnant of Sora, a thing that doesn't really belong in this world.
Still, I don't hear you complaining about it, Kairi. Guess I must have satisfied you in some way, even though I'm not the one you really want.
You told me, a few minutes ago, that you and Riku are planning an expedition – a search and rescue, if you like – to find Sora. I could see in your face that you were excited, more so than in the entire time I've known you. It hurts that I'm not good enough, that I'm just a substitute for the real thing. And I realise that Nobodies do have feelings, after all. We may not have hearts, but we're not immune to heartbreak.
If I were to disappear, would you even remember me, Kairi? I don't think you would, not after the amount of time Sora has been missing. And that's what hurts the most, Kairi. That's what hurts the most.
You kiss me goodbye, but all the passion has gone. I'd expected that, if I'm honest. I wish you luck, of course, while resigning myself to a lifetime of loneliness.
