Mist
The morning mist is the first thing Xion sees when she wakes up. She smiles at the peaceful dawn outside, knowing they must've won after all.
The last thing she remembers is looking back toward Riku—
Riku.
Xion turns her head quickly, suddenly aware of a weight on the bed next to her. Sure enough, it's Riku—draped over her feet as though he fell asleep kneeling at her bedside.
Her sudden movement makes him stir—and the look that crosses his face when he sees her is enough to break her heart.
She wonders how long he's been waiting this time.
Author: A month after the battle, Xion finally wakes up. As Riku's friends know, he hardly left her side the whole time... And lucky for him, he was actually there when she woke up, even if he did fall asleep waiting...
(And for the record, yes, I do plan to write at least one drabble dealing with an argument between these two, I'm just looking for the right prompt on my list. Most of the ideas I've had so far get rather... petty. And one dealt with pets AND was petty. Though perhaps that'd be okay...)
And look, I finally uploaded a book cover for this story! Drew it really quick 'cause I knew it'd be kinda tiny, but there ya go.
To my reviewers:
vanitas1776: Yep, I usually try to! Here's another chapter I've been planning for a while. ^^ To be honest, I think Riku learned to tread carefully around pregnant!Xion. Knowing him, he probably learned the hard way... ("Breakfast" gives a mild example, lol.)
Toaneo07: XD. Yes, she is. That's what I was going for. ^^
XIIIXV: Lol, I'm glad you like her, cause I kinda like her too. ^^ She's fun to write when she's that moody...
See ya next time! ^^
