iii.
She was little but she's the biggest. (With a smile brighter than sunshine.) She was happy but hurt. (Crying for dead faces she'd never seen.) She was a liar but genuine. (She fought so damn hard.)
They couldn't figure her out.
She was a girl but a woman, woven out of contradictions and secret places. But things weren't always this way, she told him, like he'd listen. Once upon her time her people were good and proud and untorn and pure. They were still good, she told him, not in so many words. (But she never had the right words anyway.) She was good once, too.
Her sunshine hair still glowed when the great Spiran sun that went down and surrendered to the nothingness. Her eyes still sparkled when the stars fell out of the sky and were wished on for dying. (Magical.) Sick, she thought. It was sick because she felt the grief of them watching them fall, twisting through darkness… and fighting it so damn hard.
But it doesn't matter, she thinks. Because her smile outshone the sun when they needed it most. And when she needed them, they pulled her in and she was a child again. They could see the yearning behind her eyes. And they loved her for her lies and her hurt and her heart. They loved her for her bright blond hair and her huge, green eyes.
And in the end, he listened. In the end, he told her once, she was still good too. (Not in so many words.)
a/n: Well, I'm literate again. (Somewhat, anyway.) And I've come to say that I really liked both the Kimahri and Lulu ones. This, I'm not as big of a fan of. I couldn't put in any, like… (rikku x gippal) because I wouldn't allow myself. After all, this is the FFX section. Not the FFX-2. So, I dunno. Rikku's hard to be serious about. Maybe I'm just a dork.
Next up is… hmm… Auron. Yep… So, I'll see you all at the movies.
