Promises
A Promise Made ~1~ Protection
"Hiya Riku!"
He turns around.
"Hi Sora."
They sit side by side, dreaming.
"Where have you been Riku? Why haven't you been here playing with me? I was waiting and waiting, but you didn't come."
The barest hint of a smile is on his lips.
"I've been looking for you."
The younger one looks at him quizzically.
"But I was here all the time!"
The older one shakes his head.
"No you aren't. You are only a memory that comes in my dreams."
His forehead wrinkles as he thinks about this answer.
"You're making no sense, Riku!"
The eldest chuckles.
"Don't worry about it Sora. Just be happy for as long as you can."
The other joins him, giggling, happy that he could make his friend laugh.
"Okay!"
They sit, side by side, in the sunset.
"Riku?"
He sits, enjoying the sunset.
"Yes?"
The smaller shifts uncomfortably.
"Remember a long time ago, when I asked you to promise me something?"
He turns to face him.
"...No."
A grin breaks out.
"Well, then I'll tell you!"
Unsure, the stronger one nods.
"Alright."
He asks.
"Will you protect me? Forever and ever? Will you be my friend forever and ever?"
Silver hair bobs as the boy dips his head in concentration.
"I remember now."
The younger boy stares at the older contently.
"Well, then, will you keep your promise?"
Aqua eyes stare.
"I will."
Blue eyes shine.
" Promise?"
"...I promise."

In the dark, someone awakes.
And the promise that was made was soon to be fulfilled.
