Set in worlds of your choice, nowhere in particular, and the Keyblade Graveyard.
What can I say?
Thank you. Just thank you. So much.
My favorite Theme from this set is 81: Tonight.
But all the rest are extremely close runner-ups.
I found this entire batch to be a lot of fun to write.
I hope it shows. Enjoy!
DISCLAMER [I do not own Kingdom Hearts] DISCLAIMER
WHAT IFS AND WHY NOTS
What if I was different? Why could you not change?
Eighty-One
Tonight [1]
"Say I offered to leave your friends alone," Vanitas said, slowly lowering his Keyblade. "What if I said I wouldn't harm them, and I would even tell you where they are? And, trust me, I know exactly where they are. I would ask for just one small thing in return..."
"What would that be...?" Aqua asked cautiously, her own weapon still held ready.
"That you be mine tonight."
She froze and paused for a long while before stammering, "W-what... what do you mean... yours?"
"Are you actually considering it, Aqua?" He laughed. "You're making me wish I could be serious…"
A/N This theme has been the easiest so far, out of the entire list.
A hundred words right on the first draft.
Eighty-Two
Me and You [4]
Just between you and me, Aqua... When I fight you, I feel as if our battle is the only one in the universe. I almost believe that fighting with you is my only purpose and defeating you would be my greatest victory. I am happiest when we fight, when it's just me and you...
Vanitas stepped back from her and laughed a little, flexing the hand that held his Keyblade. Aqua wondered why he seemed to be having so much fun, but then again, a part of her warned her that no good would come out of knowing his thoughts.
Eighty-Three
A Secret Admirer V1.0 [9]
Her secret admirers, they spoke of her in awed whispers.
"Who's that?"
"She's beautiful."
"What I wouldn't do…"
Vanitas didn't like it. He knew what they'd have in mind. It'd be like the thoughts he entertained. Aqua screaming his name. Aqua begging him to stop, no, to never stop. Aqua… Her wrists in his hands, her lips between his teeth, her body under his…
The emotions were too much. He trembled and a gigantic creature rose from his body. The new Unversed stared at him, fangs bared, awaiting orders.
"Aqua is mine," Vanitas said blankly. "Go tell them for me."
A Secret Admirer V2.0 [4]
Aqua sometimes wondered what it would be like to lead a normal life. To live with a typical family, have regular friends, be an ordinary girl with good grades at school and maybe a secret admirer – or two. No, just one would be plenty.
It wasn't that she was unhappy with what she had. It just would be nice to think of only one world, not thousands; of pop quizzes and homework, not matters of life and death.
Most of all, it would have been incomparably nice to be followed around by someone – anyone – other than that masked apprentice, Vanitas.
A/N Yes, I wrote two drabbles for A Secret Admirer. I know I probably shouldn't be doing that. It's not really because I liked it that much, but rather... Well, I wrote the second one first and I thought it was too Aqua and not Vanitas enough, do you know what I mean?
Anyway, I decided to post both because I thought it wouldn't hurt to give you a little extra to read.
Eighty-Four
Someone Has a Crush on You [9]
An arrow grazed her cheek and she hissed. Surprisingly, so did Braig. "Getting slow, Keyblader. You should've dodged that."
"What is it to you?" she asked, confused as to why he seemed somewhat troubled by her injury.
"See, I get a rock to the head if I scar your pretty face," Braig said, reloading his weapon. "Stings more than you'd think."
Aqua still looked confused.
Seeing her expression, Braig laughed boisterously. "So you haven't noticed? Guess you're not as smart as you look."
"Noticed what…?"
The laughter turned into a smirk. "That a little devil has a crush on you."
A/N This will be continued in a later theme.
Eighty-Five
Teenager [10]
"How old are you anyway?"
Aqua frowned. "What?"
"Your age? How long has it been since you were born?"
"Yes, I know what that mea – Wait, why?" Her cheeks reddened. "W-what does my age have to do with anything?"
"So sensitive," Vanitas teased.
She glared at him. "I am not sensitive about my age."
"Then, what is it?" He sounded amused. "Fresh out of your teen years?"
"Enough!"
Vanitas laughed. "I'm technically still underage," he said.
"I'm not interested in knowing that," Aqua said through gritted teeth.
"You might be, if you knew what I want to do with you."
A/N The first draft of this had a frustrating three-hundred word count. Hahaha! I think I got just a little carried away.
Thank You
