Love
When he wakes up with Xion in his arms, part of him still thinks he might be dreaming. The fact that she's really awake, really alive, really here with him is still hard to believe.
He's almost lost her far too many times. Even the thought makes him tense up, makes him hurt inside. Unconsciously, instinctively, he tightens his hold around her, burying his face in her hair. She stirs, smiling as she wakes up to feel his arms around her.
At that moment, he finally manages to speak the words he's been so afraid of.
"I love you."
Author: I meant to post this one yesterday to celebrate Valentine's Day with a Love themed drabble... But sadly, I was having tech issues with this site. DX
Anyway, I've already proven how much of a sap I am with past drabbles. XD. I'm going to start posting these regularly again.^^
This is set about a month after the great battle, for reasons that I'll go into with later drabbles... And a full length story. Yes. You read that right.^^ Once I finish this and a couple other stories, I'll be working on a post-KHII story that will be rather RikuShi centric as well as dealing with a lot of the themes I've played with in Fragments. :D (The down-side to this is... I'm sad to say Fragments is basically discontinued at this point. The plot lines in it will live on, though, and be twice as good in a full-length story.^^)
To my reviewers:
DMGSilverAirHead03: I can't post links here, but I have the same name on dA as I do here AND the link is my "homepage" on my profile here. :D
Mirae-no-sekai: He's got the potential to be a total sap. XD. I like putting him in awkward situations with Xion over the course of their time together. :)
Espionage247: I'm so happy you liked it!^^ That was one of my favorite themes so far, honestly. :D
Till next time, everyone~
