Questioning Reality
By: Akira Asakura
Summary:
It's been a month, and she keeps having these dreams. An obsession formed and made her begin to wonder as well, 'Is this all real?' For fans of Riku and the Kingdom Hearts theme song.
Rating:
PG for obsessive behavior. Okay well, not actually, but I think it should be PG just for the safety of little children, and I'm meaning mental safety.
Ahead Notes:
Yes, the 'she' referred to in the summary is an OC, but NO She is in no way me, so for all of you Riku fans reading this, imagine yourselves as the main character and be merry.
Disclaimer:
I wish I owned Kingdom Hearts, but I don't.

It all began with her 14th Birthday present. She'd plainly and simply said that she'd wanted the Kingdom Hearts game for PS2, no more than that, and that was what she got.
Within a month and obsession planted and grew, until she spent an hour of each day either drooling over pictures of Riku in the video game's guide, playing it in hopes of seeing Riku again (by a month she'd already beaten the game twice and was on her 3rd game), or repeatedly clicking on the 'New Game' option and then resetting after listening to the theme song of Kingdom Hearts.
It was also within that month when the dreams started. They began to make her question what she'd known and as Sora'd said, "I began to wonder, 'Is this all real?" But after that night, she was answered.

That night began exactly as every other night had that last month. She went to bed, thoughts of her dream filling her mind. Those flawless, blue eyes haunted her, but also consoled her, or perhaps a better way to say it would be 'withheld her.' They kept her to herself and drove her going on with hopes to see those eyes one day, on the face of someone she could truly feel, and perhaps love. But until some fateful day, she'd keep going on.
And as is what happens when one place their head upon a pillow, she fell asleep diving into the dream immediately. As usual, she found herself beneath a palm tree, beside the ocean front of the Destiny Islands.
She glanced up and there he was, dressed in his baggy, black and yellow pants; his matching, black and yellow, vest-like tank top; and of course his black and yellow gloves. His hair blew over his gray eyes for a moment and then flew back into place perfectly around his ever-flawless face, as he reached his gloved-hand down to her, his beautiful eyes solely on her, and pulled her up.
Her cream-toned hands folded around his neck as their faces came closer to one another. It took them what seemed like an eternity to actually touch lip-to-lip, but only what appeared as a moment for them to pull apart. She ran her fingers through his silvery hair, dropping her head onto his shoulder. It felt so silky and soft, so real. He felt so real. She could've sworn she really felt his breath against her cheeks. This couldn't be a dream. Her hands slipped when she realized, 'This is a dream.' The theme song chose to play in her dream at this moment.
When you walk away…
Riku began to walk out into the sea and shadows covered the ocean. A wave of pure darkness came behind Riku and froze. It was calling to take him away.
You don't hear me say…
Her mouth opened, but she couldn't think of a thing to say. Tears began to make up for lost words as he took one glance back.
Please, oh baby…
"DON'T GO!"
Her eyes fluttered open as she found herself sitting awake straight up in her cool, white sheets upon her bed. Warm tears stained her cheeks and she found reality cold and ruthless, the bitter taste of hate filling her. She looked upward, towards the door slowly and there he stood. As she stared into his endless blue eyes, he said, a smooth and claming tone in his voice, "Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere."

End notes:
Yes, yes, I know it's very short, but I hope you enjoyed it. I'm thinking of continuing it, but I need inspiration, so it'd be helpful if you can give me some ideas and/or review. I'm thinking of possibly putting it in Riku's view, but yeah, I'm working on it. Now I'm off to type up a Fruits Basket story I've had in the makings for a while. Please review and thanks for reading!
