Patience
"Is something wrong, Riku?"
Riku smiles slightly at the King's question, but the expression quickly fades.
"I dunno," he confides. "I feel like I keep forgetting something—something important. I can almost remember, sometimes... But I always forget again. Every time."
The King frowns, concerned for his friend. "Something you've forgotten, huh?"
"Yeah," Riku sighs, resentment in his voice. "I feel awful about it."
The King smiles a little. "Welp, you know what they say. Just because it's forgotten doesn't mean it's lost. Have patience, you'll find it."
Riku smiles. "Thanks, Your Majesty."
Author: Because I agree with Amatus about Riku and King Mickey deserving some friendly interaction like this.^^ I think Mickey would pick up on Riku's feelings pretty well, even if he were trying to hide them.
And again, it's fun to play off of existing dialogue. XD. Roxas says something very similar at the end of Days... And the whole "forgotten but not lost" goes back to Namine...
Anyway, to my reviewers:
XIIIXV: It made me laugh, too. There is something funny about Xion managing to not only catch Riku off guard but also managing to knock him flat on his back, lol!
vanitas1776: Hmm... Alright, I'll see about doing that. :D I want to see a reunion scene like that, too... It'd be so cute.
Mirae-no-sekai: ^^Good to hear from you, and I'm glad you really liked that scene. It'd be really awesome of Square Enix to write a reunion like that, wouldn't it?^^
See all of you next time! :D
