Future
Xion grins at the way Riku's whole face lights up when she tells him she's pregnant—that he's going to be a father. How he wraps his arms around her tenderly at night, letting his hands rest on her stomach.
There were times when they thought such a life would never be possible, which makes this gift even more precious to them.
They don't know what kind of life their child will have, what hardships will have to be faced—those worries will come later.
All that matters is that this child is their future—
And, for once, the future looks bright.
Author: I was busy writing another RikuShi oneshot for a contest yesterday, so I'm double-posting today to make up for it!
If you want to check out my oneshot, it's called "Destiny." I honestly never thought I'd ever be using the "Western" genre tag. Lol.
I knew I'd make "Future" related to their kids since I saw it on my list. Finally got up to this one today. ^^
To my reviewers:
Amatus: XD That's funny. I just went and re-took it yesterday (last time was four years ago) and I got "Normal Riku" this time... But when I changed one answer I'd been torn about, I got Self-Sacrificing Riku too. XD Maybe I've changed over the past four years somehow... I like the thought of him whittling, too, though I must admit I stole that from the KH manga. He's doing it on the raft in one of the panels while Sora and Kairi are talking. Glad you liked it though!
vanitas1776: Yeah, I imagine she'd turn quite red and say something about him being a sap or something. XD Glad you liked it!
I'll be posting my second drabble for today in a minute... ^^
