Forever and a Day

Forever and a day—an amount of time so long it escapes the imagination.

Forever—as much as the thought scares him, he wishes that she could stay with him so long. The knowledge that this is their last day together only makes everything worse. There's a heaviness in his chest he can't get rid of.

He doesn't want to think about that.

Yeah, he'd give her forever if he could—in memory, if nothing else.

...But he only has one day to give her.

As they watch the sunrise together, Riku swears he'll find a way to make make this day last.

Author: Another Days drabble, though one from the opposite end as the last one.^^

This was a hard prompt to work with, but I hope the end result is good. The song "Sunshine" by John Denver kept running through my head while I wrote this. XD (You know... "If I had a day that I could give you, I'd give you a day just like today..." D'aww.)

Riku might not have forever to give her, but he can give her one day at least.

To my reviewers:

XIIIXV: That comment made me laugh. I kind of want to make Axel say that to Riku at some point now... LOL. I'd probably back away slowly, too...^^;

vanitas1776: Not just you, actually-I liked 28 better, too, but I didn't pick the prompts, just the list. Some are easier to work with than others, some turn out better than others.^^; As for your question... I don't know. I honestly hope it's a sign that she'll be in it (and my fanfiction, certainly, is based off the idea that she plays a role in 3D and beyond) ...but it's impossible to know for sure. That might just be the way they have of showing what's happened in the past, rather than being something to do with the future. But hey, we can hope, right? :) And while I also can't say whether or not Xion will end up with Riku (even if she does come back, which is also a big if) I hope they'll give Riku someone at least... Though I really like him with Xion.^^ (Oh, and these prompts are all the same length, actually-100 words.^^ It's a fun challenge to see how much you can fit in to such a short limit. But my full-length fic will have MUCH longer chapters.)

Espionage247: It's okay.^^ I'm surprised this fic gets as much feedback as it does, honestly.^^ For a drabble-story, it's amazing that so many people care about it as much as they do. LOL.

See you next time~
