Apology
"Xion, I owe you an apology..." Riku mutters to her, half-asleep.
"Huh? What for?"
Riku bites his lip—Xion can tell by the look in his eyes that the guilt is killing him.
"For forgetting you," he says at last.
Xion's hand clenches around his. "Don't be sorry, that wasn't your—"
Riku shakes his head. "I'm sorry that I wasn't there to save you—that I didn't try harder to find another way..."
Xion is quiet for a moment, then smiles at him.
"Then I owe you an apology, too—for making you hurt all this time."
Author: Ah, Riku. You need to quit blaming yourself for stuff you couldn't control...
Only 20 more to go, everyone! Wow, this is starting to feel weird... I'm gonna miss writing these, lol. But I'll work on other stuff. ^^
To my reviewers:
Espionage247: Yeah, I like that about him too! He'd definitely protect her even if it meant getting hurt... (And then getting hurt AGAIN once he was all better by Xion for being "stupid." XD.) Thanks a lot for the review on "You Never Know" as well! ^^
See ya next time!
