Breaking Away


"Here, I got this for you."

Riku glances toward Xion, who crept up when he wasn't looking. She's holding an extra ice-cream out—for him.

"Uh, thanks. I guess," Riku says as he takes the offering.

Xion sits down beside him and gazes out toward the sunset with a look in her eyes that Riku knows a little too well.

Longing.

Riku feels an ache in his heart that is also becoming a little too familiar.

She's breaking away the mask he's tried so hard to wear, laying bare the deepest, darkest part of him without even trying to.


Author: Well, what do you know? A Days related drabble. ^^ Set during the forty or so days when Xion was staying with Riku when she ran away from the Organization... Cause she wanted to share ice-cream with someoneeven if her friends weren't around.

To my reviewers:

vanitas1776: Yeah, I know. ^^ Again, I think that drabble's gonna be the only one to describe that moment in this series, but that's definitely an important scene in my full-length story. :D So you'll get the full scene then. And I did enjoy your drabbles! ^^

XIIIXV: Lol? Yeah, that part is kinda freaky.^^ I don't go to Atlantica much in KH, it's harder than it's worth. XD

See ya next time! ^^
