Light
It does not surprise them that their child is born at dawn, that she took her first breaths at first light.
Riku smiles sleepily at Xion—they've both been up all night—as she cradles the tiny newborn.
Xion smiles back and holds their daughter out to him. "She's got your hair, Riku."
He's noticed already—her thin locks shine like liquid silver in the light of dawn.
Riku gently takes her from Xion, holding her close to him as he gazes down at her with pride before glancing out to the rising sun.
They name her after the light, too—
Hikari.
Author: The prompts with words that so obviously fit Kingdom Hearts are, truly, the hardest ones to write. The more different things a prompt can deal with... The harder it is to choose one idea over another. Both Light and Dark are on my list... And Memories, for that matter. So, for Light I went with something that ties in in such a way that it's a bit different (I hope.)
It's fitting that I was listening to "Hikari" by Utada Hikaru while writing this one, right? It sort of solidified the name I'd picked for their first child.
I also thought about saving this prompt for later, but I want to post something happy/fluffy today. :D
Hope you guys enjoy this drabble, and thanks for reading!
