AN: More of a friendship than romance, but I figured it still fitted in this collection. Prompt 52 - "Deep in thought".
It doesn't matter how hard I think, how hard I dredge the depths of my brain, I simply cannot picture him. People think I'm going crazy, trying to remember a boy they say never even existed, but I know he did. He used to play with Riku and me on the beach, we even built a raft once. Then one day, he just wasn't here any more, and nobody even remembered him. I do, though. Not clearly, but I know he was here. I keep having flashbacks, little snippets that jog my memory and set me thinking again. A sunny smile, eyes as blue as a cloudless summer sky...
I remember I loved him as much as I love Riku, the three of us would have stayed close for ever. If only I could remember his name...
My next flashback was his voice. He was speaking to me, gently mocking my terrible memory. "I'll give you a clue. Starts with an S."
I write a letter to him, put it in a bottle and let it float out to sea. We used to do this as children. Selphie, standing on the beach with me, doesn't understand. I smile, but don't explain.
Starts with an S. Right, Sora?
