Frost
Riku used to like eating ice-cream with everyone. It was a treat all the islanders loved to eat on a hot, humid day to keep cool.
Eating it now, though, he doesn't really taste it anymore—just feels the coldness of it, how it numbs his mouth and sends a chill through his entire body.
No matter what flavor it is, it leaves a bitter aftertaste in his mouth—but the worst offender is that sea-salt flavor everyone else seems to love so much.
It only tastes like tears to him—tears and the frost left behind when you lose someone you love.
Author: Well, there's at least one bonus drabble for this one in the end-and yes, there will be several bonus drabbles in the end in a big out-takes chapter! It's too hard for me to not have duplicates of a few of these... And, who knows, maybe I'll do like Amatus did in OHS and include a little snap-shot into my planned story about the next generation of Keywielders. I plan to write out My World Begins With You first to set the stage for that one.
Speaking of Amatus, the out-take version of "Frost" rather freakishly deals with Vanitas (though I didn't name him in the drabble, it was him I was imagining...) which corresponds to your drabble for today. I didn't really like it so much, though, which is why I posted this one.
Frost can be used in so many ways... lol.
Consequently, one of my reviewers said they found the length of my author's notes to be funny. Oh well, I know I talk too much. XD
To my reviewers:
Rokuna Aldebaran: Sorry for the distracting author's notes... I get carried away with them sometimes. XD It's more noticable on a drabble series like this, I usually write long stories. I'm glad you like my writing, though! It means a lot to me. :)
Toaneo07 Ver2.0: I'm glad you're still enjoying it! :D
DGMSilverAirHead03: Thanks for all three reviews! 1. I agree, she seems to have the ability to do that to him. XD. 2. Me too, I love fluffy drabbles... 3. It's funny how that works, isn't it?
XIIIXV: That's fine. ^-^ I'm glad you're still reading it!
See ya next time! :D
