"I love her and that is the beginning and end of everything." - F. Scott Fitzgerald
SPOILERS for 3D—do I still need this warning?
"To think," Xion says, arms wrapped around her knees, "all that time we had hearts."
"It wasn't really all that shocking to me." The boy (man? savior? Master?) beside her takes a bite out of the ice cream she bought him, flinches at the salt on his tongue, doesn't look her way. "Not after I saw how much you cared for people you didn't even know."
And really, what is she supposed to say when the boy she never got to know says that? She rests her head on her knees, hiding the blush and smile that rises at his words.
Surprise! After much deliberation that ended only after seeing this list of challenges and finding that too many of them worked well for RikuShi, I decided to do one last 100 theme challenge for this pairing. I love them and these challenges far too much not to do one as a final hurrah before life completely changes for me...
The rules are much the same as the last time around: one hundred words per theme, no time limit in which to write the drabble, all drabbles coming back to Rion in some way. I am putting an extra limit on myself this time, however; I've noticed a Rion trend in which the fics that focus on one character's perspective are predominantly Riku-based. There's nothing wrong with this, but I'm going to make an effort to have the large majority of these themes come from Xion's side of their relationship. You, as readers and reviewers, have one assignment during this whole challenge: to help keep me in line, LOL.
As always, I still love challenges and requests, so if there's a particular situation in which you want to see Riku and Xion, let me know. I should also warn you here that I may end up going back to some "Strength and Courage" drabbles that seem wanting, and if you still don't want any KH3D spoilers, there will likely be even more than the one I posted above. Sorry...
I do not own any of the characters, settings, concepts, and events in the following drabble series except for what I'll tell you I own—you'll be able to recognize what's mine and what isn't, it won't be nearly as developed; the elements on which this series is based are owned by Disney and Square Enix, and as always, faithful readers, read and enjoy!
