Enthusiasm
"C'mon, Riku! Let's try going this way!"
As she tugs him along behind her, Riku wishes some of Xion's enthusiasm could rub off onto him. Somehow, she always manages to keep an upbeat attitude even in the face of tragedy.
Riku is still forcing himself to remain neutral—allowing himself to feel anything too strongly will only cause him pain in the near future.
But when Xion looks up at him with eyes that look so lost...
...he caves in and smiles at her a little in reassurance as he squeezes her hand.
"Don't worry, Xi. I'm following you."
Author: Sorry about the wait for this one! I didn't finish writing the last couple drabbles before going on a trip and have been pretty jetlagged the last several days. I'm still on the trip, so I might not even update for the next couple days, but I'll try!
Once again, this drabble is set sometime during the end of their time together during 358/2 Days.
Enjoy!
To my reviewers:
vanitas1776: Yep, it's always fun to show her side of a drabble that was from Riku's perspective or vice-versa. :)
XIIIXV: Thanks, that's actually my profile picture right now... but I did draw it myself too! ^^ Glad you liked the drabble too! ^^
Espionage247: Yep, I agree! Glad you liked it! :)
DMGSilverAirHead03: Thanks for all 3 reviews! 1. Yeah, I figure they'd have normal moments like that too... 2. Yeah, me too... *sigh* 3. Yeah, he did make her wait FOREVER. Lol. At least he got around to it, though... XD
See ya next time! ^^
