Wind
Xion stands on the raft, gazing off into the distance. The wind picks up, and the flag above the raft makes a noise as it is caught in the swift air.
"Once, I thought I wanted to escape this island," Riku sighs from where he sits below her, up to his knees in the ocean as he whittles absentmindedly. "Go off with the wind and never come back. But that wasn't really what I was looking for..."
"Did you ever find it?"
His hands stop moving and he looks up at her.
"Yeah... I found you."
Author: And back to sweetness and nostalgia for this drabble. I just beat Zelda: Wind Waker the other day and that's got me thinking about boats whenever "wind" comes up... So, have a throw-back to the first KH game.
On a slightly un-related note, the one time I took a "which Riku are you" test I got "dreamer Riku." That is, the one from the start of KH 1 who's waiting for something great to come his way. Kind of creepy since I know what happened to him, but oh well. (My sister got out-of-character Riku. Because she clicked outrageously different answers like "wants to destroy everything" and "favorite color? Rainbows!" *facepalms*)
To my reviewers:
Amatus: Well, I just didn't know what was up with it at first, it seems... okay now. I guess. It's just confusing, and I'm used to having a little window appear so I can scroll around and type stuff. Oh well. And I love dramatic irony, lol. (In the best way possible ROFL!) Yes, we know that, but... At that point in time, she must've felt terrible. So you feel for her anyway. I'm sorry it's so heartbreaking... DX
vanitas1776: Cool, I'm glad you liked it once again... And, "umbrella" technically could've been a Days related one, but it also could've happened at any time. Thanks for the review!
Sakura Scout: Thanks, and I agree... I didn't think I would, either, but the inspiration hit me when I read the prompt and I had to go with it once it hit me. Besides, I like heartbreaking things as much as I like happy ones... Which is why I'm still hooked on a Song of Ice and Fire. DX
See ya next time! ^^
