Everyday Magic
Watching Xion interact with the Islanders, an outsider would probably think she'd always lived there. It had been the same way with Kairi—that's just how the islanders are. Friendly, welcoming... It isn't hard for anyone to settle in.
By now, all the others take her for granted.
Riku never will. He knows better than they do, knows how lucky Xion is to even be alive.
Whenever he's with her, some part of his mind always pays attention to the little things—the everyday magic so many people miss.
Remembering how precious life is adds magic to every moment they have together.
Author: Okay, I'm finally happy with this version. Seriously. An older version had Xion helping Riku find his keys (how a Keyblade Master managed to lose them I'll never know for sure, XD.) But I like this one as it is now. The past drafts just weren't as good.
To my reviewers:
vanitas1776: Ah well... She probably thinks that getting them to worry about her instead will get them to stop. And that ploy does really work sometimes. In any case, you're right-they'll sort things out and pull through. No relationship is perfect... And yeah, I'll be reading that shortly. ^^ Thanks for the review!
Espionage247: Hey, welcome back! ^^ I'm glad you enjoyed the last bunch of drabbles. And the fight one, too. That one was kinda hard to write, to be honest... So I'm glad you liked it.
See ya next time!
