Simplicity
"Riku, are you done putting the kids to sleep yet...?" Xion asks, walking to the door of the bedroom Hikari and Haruki share—and smiles to herself when she opens the door and peeks in.
Riku's leaning against the wall, an open book in his hands, fast asleep.
"Well, someone must've been tired..." Xion mutters, grinning broadly.
She knows she's going to have to wake him—sleeping in that position can't be comfortable—but for now, she's content to watch.
It's the simplicity that strikes her—Riku may be a Keyblade Master, but right now he looks just like an ordinary father.
Author: As if having to fight evil all day wasn't hard enough, Riku still had to come home and put his kids to bed. ^^
I don't think I was clear enough with the last Author's Notes, since two people were confused by the drabble - "Nothing" was supposed to be a direct sequel to "Summer Haze," and the reason Roxas hates vacations is because he doesn't like imagining Xion spending time with Riku. (Especially not if he knows/guesses at the nature of their relationship...)
Alright, on to my reviews!
Espionage247: Thanks, I agree! ^^
vanitas1776: I do have the rest pretty well planned out, and I don't think any of the prompts would fit that idea, but I do agree that it's an interesting idea. Maybe a one-shot someday. I hope the above paragraph clears things up a bit. ^^
DMGSilverAirHead03: Thanks for both reviews! 1. Me too, it's sweet of him but also sad... 2. Yep, even if you count the time she went to the beach in Days, Riku was there with her. And her first vacation after coming back was spent there, naturally. ^^
Rokuna Aldebaran: Sorry for the confusion, I hope my paragraph above and response clear that up. ^^; Hope you like this one! :)
See ya next time!
