Pairing: Namine/Sora
She's the princess of this fairy tale, Namine tells herself as she draws away his memory with her thin crayon. Bright red, his heart, bleeds across the paper connecting him with her. It's right, she tells herself, it must be, has to be. She deserves the prince's affections, after being alone for so very long, doesn't she?
So she pushes away the true princess, fades her memory into the fog with a murky black, and draws in another one, a new one, all the while comforting herself with those simple words.
But somewhere deep inside of her, a small part that connects her to the faded, forgotten princess, knows that what she's doing is wrong, and knows she'll never be anything more then the prince's false mistress.
