I'm so happy I'm doing this!
This is really fun to do; a nice breather when I want to just relax.
And I skipped "Pure" because I accidentally tied it with another prompt (companion pieces).
But that's because I was writing these out of order before doing it in the order given.
And tomorrow is an academic competition for me, so hopefully I can update tomorrow!
Please enjoy the next double dosage, brought to you by yours truly.

~Reflection~

Vanitas looked into the water that the fountain held. What did he hope to find? Psh, like he knew. It's a free world; he can do whatever he wants, thank you very much.

His mask fell away to reveal those cold golden eyes and unruly, spikey black hair. There, now, he can see clearly.

Too clearly, perhaps, for the water revealed instead a soft, kind face...with those sparkling blue eyes and unruly, spikey golden hair...

Vanitas let out a frustrated growl, slapping the water's surface in anger. No matter what, he can never see himself, Vanitas, but instead him, Ventus.

Maybe this was a "look into your inner heart" moment or something. At least "reflection" makes sense here.



~Alone~

"I still remember...the dreams we all shared...Terra...Ven..."

The silence had gone on long enough; she needed to break that silence before she went even closer to the edge of insanity.

"Being Keyblade Masters together...exploring the world...well, we did that...and look where we all ended up."

She continued pacing along that dark and lonely path that seemed to go everywhere, yet nowhere...

Tears started to veil her vision.

"Always under those stars, wishing, and dreaming, and just being together...not alone like we are now, wherever we are."

Because in the end, no matter how many memories she recalls, she's still alone.

I thought of Ayumi Hamasaki's song "still alone" when writing this, though since I don't remember the exact translation for the song, I don't even know if this song is even related to the writing! Ha ha!
But now I have Aqua Timez's "Alones" stuck in my head. A good song though!
