Irregular Orbit
Xion smiled at Riku, staring up at the night sky.
"Before," he said, "I didn't think I'd miss you when you... went away. But—I did. Even though I forgot you, I remembered."
Riku turned to her, the look in his eyes desperate—he wanted her to understand this. "I know it sounds stupid. But, Xion..." he glances out to space, a smile crossing his face. "It's like how stars will have an irregular orbit around those dark places no light can escape from. I couldn't call you to memory, but I could tell where my memories weren't."
Author: And like those stars, they have an irregular orbit around each other. :3 A little odd, I know, but I still think it's cute. Yes, Riku's using black holes as a metaphor for his love of Xion. XD. Or rather, how he felt without her. :(
Set on the same night as "Death." Riku's elaborating on why he's scared to lose her again. :D (I told you I'd come back to this night, Amatus. And I'm not done with it yet. :3)
Thanks to Mirae-no-sekai for the review! Lol. Yes, yes it does. This drabble deals with that a bit, actually. :) And yes, that's one of my favorite ideas. It's definietly true in my works. The conflict always comes down to that in the end... And it usually has to do with how the heroes win, too. :D
And also to Espionage247! Thanks, I'm glad it's cool. I was a bit worried Xion wasn't prominent enough in it, but I really like the idea that she's there without being there... Like in this chapter. :)
See you next time!
