Thanks to Mirae-no-Sekai for reviewing! (XD Got that, Xion? It would have made everyone's lives a helluva lot easier... (See, that's why I need a DS or something... XD) You do that, I'll get Riku and Xion, ; the entire world will be behind you, cheering them on. Major hell to pay—which might be why Xion gets so pissed off at Ansem... No messing with her potential boyfriends! (Oh, dear... you just stole her thunder... I'd run now, with the mood she's in... XD)
I'm having fun connecting these drabble to OHS... Sorry about that, LOL. This particular one connects to chapter 96, "Beach," both of which are set on Destiny Islands the night before the final battle. Enjoy!
Xion sits on the shore, the waves lapping at her feet while she gazes into the starry sky above. Riku's heart wants to break at the lonely picture she paints, convincing his feet to move him forward and join her.
"Save me," she says as he sits beside her. One hand stretches out for his.
"From what?" He takes her hand, intertwines their fingers.
"Being scared all the time." She turns to him, eyes wide and smirk tired. "I don't want to think about what's happening tomorrow anymore."
And he pushes forward and kisses her until their breath runs out.
