HEY PEOPLE! Inspiration has hit me like a basketball on the first day of summer(...No, that didn't make sense, so stop thinking about it ;P)! I was thinking, recently, while listening to one of my favorite songs, "...I wonder what's for dinner tonight?"...Wait...That's not right...Now I remember! I was thinking, "...THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT SONGFIC!" So, that happened and vola! A songfic! My FIRST songfic! YAY! Guess who it is(too obvious, in my opinion ;p)
Disclaimer: Don't own the greatness that is Kingdom Hearts or the song 'Twilight' by Vanessa Carlton, so don't be suing! Yo!
Yoh(from Shaman King): What?
Not YOU! Just, yo, yo...yo?
Everyone: O.o
Um...let's...just get on with the story.
Talking(Thinking, actually)
Songfic lyrics
Flashback
EnJoY!
I would sometimes stare at the sky, just stare. Not actually thinking, at all, just staring...It seemed like hours, though I've been told it was only minutes. But I would get lost, you could see it in my eyes...
In your eyes...
I was stained, with a role
In a day not my own
They would stare at me, as I stared into the heavens, wondering if this was...
No, it wasn't...
But as you walked into my life
You showed what needed to be shown
...Do you remember? It must have been years ago...but do you? I remember, quite well actually...
I always knew, what was right
I just didn't know that I might...
You promised, and I would believe. Believed Oblivion could never handle us. Believed that angels envied us. Believed freedom was our own horizon. Believed...that we...
Peel away and choose to see
With such a different sight...
Unconsicously, words in a centain rhythm, with a certain beat and a certain meaning came to mind, and occasion called for it to be spoken...
And I will never see the sky the same way
And I will learn to say goodbye to yesterday
And I will never cease to fly if held down
And I will always reach too high cause I've seen
Cause I've seen
...Twilight...
My eyes became blurry, and the sky became a darkening gray. I wonder, what is life like, above the clouds, above it all. Where you can peer down at the world with a open heart and leveled head, and happiness is easily obtain...
Or is than just a dream? A child's fantasy?
Never cared, never wanted
Never sought to to see what flaunted...
Other worlds...But that never concerned us. We were those the conquerors of those 'other worlds', just by being children and daring to live life, unlike the adults who were always telling us what to do, how to live, how to be...when we all grew up together...And our parents...they could never understand...
Never...
So on purpose, so in my face
Couldn't see beyond my own place...
...Tidus asked me once, a long time ago...
"If you had a chance, would you try to see what was beyond the horizon, instead of always accepting things as they are?"
A strange question, and a little mature for one of Tidus's stature, but I suppose it was needed. Not at the time, for I brushed the question off with a enthusiastic, obivous agreement. But now...it seemed...
He might have had the right to ask it...
And it was so easy not to behold what I could hold
But you taught me I could change
Whatever came within these shallow days...
Kairi...She would tell us stories, of dreams she would have of...another world...the one she thinks she came from. She said she could remember...books, and long, eloquent halls, and a ballroom. Who would have guess that would be the place where we would meet, and our games weren't just pretend anymore...
She says she still dreams about the three of us, too...
And I will never see the sky the same way
And I will learn to say goodbye to yesterday
And I will never cease to fly if held down
And I will always reach too high cause I've seen
Cause I've seen
...Twilight...
Do you still dream about our secluded island, about our childish adventures, our games, our rivalries, our hopes...our dreams, our limitess dreams. The dreams, I suppose, we've now reached...funny, it might have been better for us to...
...to...just...keep dreaming...
As the sun shines throught it pushes away
And pushes ahead
It fills the warmth of blue
And leaves a chill instead and
I didn't know that I could be
So blind to all that is so real
But as illusion dies
I see there is so much to be revealed...
No, I take that back. Without all that has happen, we would have never truly, well, grown up. On that island, if we had stay, yes, we would have aged and grown old...
But we would continue to be the same blissfully ignorant kids who spend their days hiding and sparring, never really understanding to true meaning of living life to its fullest.
Cause life is just more than catching fish and climbing trees...
Isn't it?
...I was stained, by a role
In a day not my own
But as you walked into my life
You showed what needed to shown
I always knew, what was right
I just didn't know that I might
Peel away and choose to see
With such a different sight...
...I still dream, dream that everything will finally fall back into place, and...you will be here with us...with me...when that happens. I hope, like our previous dreams, that will come true too, without any sacrifices...
Yeah, I know, childish thinking...
I suppose, though, its immaturity logic like that that helps me to keep going...
...That wants me to continue to find you...
Because, even though it didn't seemed very meaningful to others, it was our life...
Climbing trees and catching fish...
Together on our secluded island...
...just continuing to be children...
...just being...
...us...
And I will never see the sky the same way
And I will learn to say goodbye to yesterday
And I will never cease to fly if held down
And I will always reach too high cause I've seen
Cause I've seen
...Cause I've seen...
"...I miss you, Riku."
Twilight...
Riku closed his eyes. The song had ended as he will it to, the lyrics being the only thing that seemed to relax his nerves now. The recently elected lullaby seemed to serve its purpose, for Riku snuggled into a more comfortable position in the windowsill as his eyeslids flickered downward. The silver-haired teen then fell into a dream world, but not before he heard the words of a distant voice...
He smiled, for the voice seemed the same as it was when its owner was a small child, and a game of hide and seek had gone awry. Memories...they seemed like the only thing that would keep him alive now. But he wasn't complaining or angry about that fact. No, quite the opposite, the previous events, he felt, were the only thing keeping him somewhat sane and, well, human.
As he drifted to sleep, several words slipped from his mouth, undoubtly, he knew, making their way toward his mind-set destination...to the dreams of the voice.
"I miss you too, Sora."
Phew! That took longer than expected! But hey, the call of laziness must be answered, right/gets hit by a tomato/
...I guess not.
Anywho, thank you, dear reader, for taking time ot of your day in reading this. I know it was kinda long, but I glad you sticked to it and read it!
Why am I sucking up/shrugs/ Too much Disney, I suppose.
Other note before I say my goodbyes: This wasn't meant to be a shounen-ai fic, just a little friendship one-shot. But I know there is a lot of hard-core RikuxSora fans out there, and, in the yaoi debate-thingy, I'm pretty neutral. So, if you want, this can be viewed as a shounen-ai, it doesn't bother me! So everybody's happy! YAY!
Thanks for reading! R&R!
ByE!
