Summary: Riku comes home.
Notes: Kingdom Hearts II spoilers. For the themes 'home' and 'hate' at the Key Blade LiveJouranl Community.
Coming back home, he expected them to hate him. He had betrayed them, brought the darkness into his heart; had caused their home to fade, be engulfed in darkness before their very eyes, trapping them, swallowing them up, losing them. He had betrayed them, joined the wrong side.
By all means, they should hate him.
He prepared himself for that, for their angry stares and pointed fingers, and told himself that he deserved it.
When he came back, beaten and changed but victorious in the end, he was greeted with smiles. They were all there, standing at the back of the beach, grinning like the children they all really were.
He realized that, no matter what, this was where he belonged.
This was home.
And that would never change.
