Faith
"C'mon, Riku. You heard them. All it takes is a little faith and trust!"
Her smile glows as brightly as the dust that covers both of them as she takes hold of his hand, locking her fingers inside his.
"Just a little faith, huh?" he asks, still not completely sure. He's flown before, but never this way. Faith alone seems such a frail and fragile thing to rest a life upon.
"Think of the happiest things," she whispers in a sing-song voice. "All you have to do is believe..."
Riku smiles, soaring along with his heart.
Author: I was a little torn on what drabble-idea to post next. I finally picked this one, since I'm really eager to draw the picture that goes along with it... And considering the nature of "Fragments" right now, I'd rather post some happy/fluffy drabbles here since that one's headed in a dark direction.
Plus, I just really, really like that song. :)
Obviously set in Never Land. I find it a little odd that Riku and the other members of Sora's party can just up and fly just because he has the ability. So, based off that... Riku's first pixie-dust powered fleight is with Xion. I hope I conveyed the impression that she is what makes Riku the happiest.
Thanks again to Amatus for reviewing! My laptop got a weird virus last year, too. And none of my teachers believed me when I tried to explain it to them. (It was rather hard to get work done.) I have my fingers crossed in hopes that Xion will return. If not... Well, I'll still write about it. XD. I just like to put my characters through a lot of hardship before they earn their happy ending. And yes... It is more hopeful. :) Riku's never gonna let it be "almost," this time around. And yet (as you'll see) he's still painfully awkward about his feelings for her. O.O Yeaah... That is rather awkward, come to think of it. I still love his last words to her though, about the ice cream. When I watched that cutscene, I didn't know if I wanted to laugh or cry. It's so pathetic, yet sooo heartfelt all the same. DX. So yeah. I still like RoXion, too. (^^You're right, it is still very sweet in it's own way.) XD. Awesome! I think you'll like it. Tell me when you get around to reading/finishing it. :D
I've got the first two pictures up on dA. (And that Lerith one from Fragments, too, in doodle form...XD.)
Here we go! (Music starts playing~)
XD. Just kidding. See you next time!
