Unbreakable
In the time he was away, he'd missed the sweet sound of the waves more than he'd thought he would.
Even now, the sound filled him with emotions he couldn't begin to explain.
He walks over to where the waves wash over the sand, letting the water cover his feet as he closes his eyes.
Remember...
When he opens them again and looks down, he sees a single sea-shell has washed up beside his feet.
He picks it up, feeling both whole and incomplete at once.
The memories of her, though long asleep, remain with him.
Some bonds are unbreakable.
Author: It's funny, but some of these drabbles are very clear in my mind, but hard to actually write up. It seems like the stronger I feel, the harder it is to explain the feeling. Like, for this one, I found it easy to imagine how Riku's feeling somehow... Yet it took me forever to find the right words. I still don't know if I conveyed it all...
Oh, well. Hope it's still up to par, anyway.
Thanks to Amatus yet again for the review! Lol. Glad you liked it. I know Xion probably wouldn't like it, but... Well, I think everyone's fragile in their own way. There's always one thing that they just can't take, right? (I'm especially fond of having strength and weakness go hand in hand, though.) Lol. It is sweet, though. :) That's exactly what I was going for. Xion trying so hard not to show weakness, and Riku actually letting it show for once. :D It's okay. It is very "awww" no matter how serious it is.^^ (I'll definitely be coming back to this. Lol. I didn't steal it... not really.^^) And wow, I never even thought of that. But it's true. (It'd be even funnier if Xion's somehow connected to Riku getting his original appearance back... o.o) My friend just gave me his guidebook, with the words "you're gonna need it." Lol. He was right. I tried not to use it, but I get stuck a lot. Atlantica was... tricky. It took me a lot of tries to get through that one. (There's another world I would've liked to see Riku visit. Lol.) :D I'm almost done with "Faith." Mostly cause it takes longer to draw than type and I've been busy...
And also to MonMonCandie! It is very bittersweet, isn't it? But I enjoy writing bittersweet things, honestly. I'm really hoping for a happy ending, too. Lol. It is a bit tricky, but the real problem is just not having a lot of time to work on it. And thank you. :D (Just wondering, actually... Is the MonMonCandie on dA you as well?)
Anyway, I hope to have Faith up on dA soon. :D
See you next chapter!
