Okay, I am majorly surprised. I didn't think anyone would read this!
Well, you guys are awesome. Especially Renolover455, who gave me a review that shocked me, then put a smile on my face. Seiner hugs for you~!
Now, I forgot to warn you…this is from the movie Thumbelina, so…yeah, that's right…there will be singing! I almost didn't put the singing parts in, but then thought it would ruin the whole story. So…Seifer and Hayner and many others will be singing.
(lol, Seifer would kill me in real life, but it's my story so nyan~)
I don't own Kingdom Hearts or Thumbelina.
Fairy Tale Come True
The two best friends sat in the foyer…sort of. Roxas sat in a large armchair, a book in his lap while Hayner stood on the pages, looking down at the large words and colorful pictures. The two were clad in soft pajamas, curling up to read a nice fairy tale together, something they considered a similar bedtime pleasure that they both shared. Roxas began to read, a smile on his face. He looked at Hayner.
"This story is about a noble dog – " Roxas chuckled, then continued. " – who saved the king from some damned wizard." Hayner sighed as Roxas began with the usual saying.
" 'Once upon a time –' "
"Come on Roxas, not this one." Hayner groaned, folding his arms over his chest. "Are there any stories about…about little people, Roxas?"
His friend blinked down at him, surprised by the sudden attitude.
"Um, yeah. As a matter of fact, there are." He picked Hayner up with one hand, then flipped through the book with the other until he came to the one he was looking for. "See, look."
Roxas put Hayner back onto the pages, which showed a lovely illustration of two people no bigger than Hayner, looking at each other in a way that seemed so…touching.
"They are little," Hayner gasped. "just like me!"
Roxas snorted at his enthusiasm, but didn't say anything. The little boy curiously inspected the picture of tiny people, then frowned when he noticed something.
"What are those?" he asked, pointing.
"Wings. These little people are called fairies, and they have wings so they can fly."
His friend sighed wistfully at the picture, then stared down at his tiny, bare feet.
"Have…" He gazed up at Roxas with sad brown eyes. "you ever seen a fairy?"
"I thought I did." The blonde laughed gently, his own eyes dreamy as he recalled the memory. "Only once, though."
"No way, really?!"
"Yep." Roxas pointed at the picture where the two fairies were holding hands while gazing deeply into each other's eyes. "Here's the fairy prince and princess having a wedding. Beautiful, isn't it?"
Hayner glanced down, then said quietly,
"And they lived happily ever after, right?"
"Usually, yeah."
"I guess it works best if two people are about the same size." Hayner said, feeling a heavy sadness decend upon him.
"Well…yeah, of course."
"Yeah…" Hayner kicked at the picture of the happy couple angrily. "Well, that isn't even fair! I…I must be the only little person in this whole, damn world." he finished sadly.
"Hay –" Roxas started to gently say, his heart going out to his friend.
"I wish I were big, damnit! It just isn't fair!" he yelled, stomping his foot over the picture.
"Hayner, don't say that! Ever! Don't ever wish to be anything but what you are. Besides," He picked Hayner up and set him in his palms. "I like you just the way you are."
Hayner gave him a half-hearted smile, then sighed. Roxas felt like doing the same, but refrained.
"Come on, it's getting late. We should go to bed." Roxas said.
He closed the book, intending to put the book away later. He got up, careful with his little load on his hand. As he started to ascend the stairs, Hayner asked,
"Can you keep the book open in front of my bed? I want to look at it a bit longer."
"Sure. But don't stay up." Roxas said.
"Yes, "mother"." Hayner replied sarcastically.
Roxas walked into Hayner's room, where his large window now showed a full moon with glittering stars.
"There." Roxas set Hayner down onto the table, then opened the book to the fairies before putting it in front of Hayner's bed. "Goon night, Hay'."
"Night, Rox'." Hayner said absently, eyes glued to the book.
Roxas smiled sadly, then left the room, secretly wishing he could help ease the pain of his small friend.
There you guys are, some nice angst for ya'.
Hayner is so cute. I simply adore him. So, don't worry, he's won't be sad soon.
