Rating: G.
Author's Notes: I wrote this because I've been having a major writers block for the last month or so (I blame school. Dx). Anyway, I haven't written anything particularly Kairi/Naminé lately and just thought that I should-- This is also kind of for zanisha, because she loves what I write for Kairi/Naminé and I haven't given her anything for her birthday (which was last month. ^^; ♥) yet.
When the day turns new she's young, seven, and he pretends like he's older, protecting her from the minuscule upstart of the waves and the way the other boy tries to do the same. Her lips upturn for them, best she can, but her eyes are fixed on the girl sitting curled across from her-- and she speaks, speaks with faded white skin and soft blonde hair and a dull blue soul. I love you. Kairi.
The ripple of the water halts. Kairi stays still. She says, "I know," and the air is pleased.
It's barely a few strokes to the land when one boy turns, his smile sunny-bright like the sky; the other boy is already to the dock, and she sees he itches for the land by the way he brightens with the touch of fresh soil against his toes (for he is also the first of them to remove his shoes). He says Sora and then he keeps on smiling, "who were you talkin' to back there, Kairi?"
And it's like he's grown another head because she stares for the longest time. She looks to her boat, sees nothing looking back. Hesitant. She feels just a little scared; it's the other boy, and he breathes Riku before wrapping an arm around the slump of her shoulders, who asks her what's wrong first. She doesn't answer him, doesn't know quite what to say.
Years later --when the walls are closing in on her, when she finds herself running from a flurry of flames and the moon that shines bright-- a hand slips delicately into hers, pulls her along corridor after corridor until she can run no more but keeps on going anyway.
She finds the answer then.
And that dull blue soul shines just a little bit brighter.
