i asked one of my friends who was playing Kingdom Hearts II why Riku wears his blindfold (since I haven't had time to get the game yet) and all she would tell me was that he couldn't trust his eyes or something like that. and that is the amazing inspiration i had to write this rather...depressing oneshot
let me know what you think :)
"Riku," a voice said out of the darkness.
"W-who are you?" I asked, my voice wavering.
"It's me, Sora."
"No, it's not . . . you're just some Heartless teasing me again," I said. Those Heartless had played that prank on me loads of times, and I wasn't going to fall for it again.
"Riku, it's really me, Sora."
"No! No it's not!"
"Riku, take your blindfold off. You'll see, it is me."
"No, I can't take my blindfold off . . ."
"Why not?"
"My eyes show me things . . . too many illusions . . . too many tricks . . . I won't fall for it again!" I yelled. I hated betrayal, and I hated my gullibility. But my gullibility would end here.
"Riku! It's really me! It's Sora! Believe me!" A hand brushed my arm, but I jerked away.
"No! Sora wouldn't come for me . . . Sora . . . is in love with Kairi . . ."
"Riku . . ."
"Go away! Stop tempting me! Stop teasing me! I won't take it anymore!" I shouted.
I heard footsteps . . . walking away . . .
"Wait, Sora!" I cried. But the noise of his gentle footfalls had vanished altogether.
"Dammit . . . figures . . . as soon as he really does come for me, I just push him away. But at least . . . with Kairi . . . I hope he'll be happy . . ."
Tears began forming in my eyes. I would've wiped them away, but the tight blindfold had secured them in place. However, even the blindfold couldn't stop the flood of tears as they began gushing forth. Sobbing, I put my head in my hands, and prayed to God that at least Sora would be happy . . .
ok, now i'm gonna give you chocolate cuz i think everybody who reads that needs some chocolate, don't you?
