Simple and Clean
Maybe some things really are that simple...
At first, things were looking up for him. He managed to get a few good hits in; Kairi's cheers encouraging him. Then Riku took things seriously. Blow after blow sent Sora to the ground, but he would continue to get up. He had to win. He struggled to his feet, pausing to catch his breath.
"Giving up already, Sora? I thought you were stronger than that!" Riku jeered. Sora shot up, glaring, and lunged. Unfortunately, the older boy had predicted the move, and easily dodged. Before Sora could regain his balance, Riku struck a smarting blow across his back, sending him tumbling to the ground. He didn't get up that time.
"Sora? Are you okay?" Kairi asked.
"Oww..." Sora moaned. When his vision focused, the first thing he could make out was the butterfly on Kairi's shirt. "Y-Yeah... F-fine..." Then he groaned. He had lost again.
Imperfect Love
Their imperfections made them perfect for each other...
"Xion, wait up!" Roxas yelled, running after her. He chased her through the school, straight to the playground. He couldn't help but smile at this. She always went there when she was upset.
Sure enough, there she sat on the third swing, her tear-streaked face gazing at the ground. He scanned the area. Near the beginning of spring, bees, butterflies, and other insects were flying around, but besides them, they were alone. Summoning all his courage, he approached the swing-set, kneeling in front of her when he did.
"Xion..." Tucking a lock of hair behind her ear, he forced her chin up to look at him. Her eyes and face were red from crying, and tears still trailing down her cheeks. He wiped away the ever-flowing tears.
"Xion, I know shouldn't have I left you. I wasn't a good best friend. And I'm sorry. Please... forgive me?"
