Fandom: Kingdom Hearts
Characters/Pairings: Sora, Kairi, various cameos; SoKai
Rating: PG
Warnings: I can’t be sure, but I’m going to say spoilers for all KH games because I’m paranoid like that. There are some sentences that are placed in the future during/after the eagerly anticipated KH3. Some sentences will be in present tense, others in past tense; there’s no significance in this.
Disclaimer: Kingdom Hearts is owned by Square Enix, Disney, and Tetsuya Nomura. I own the stories I write.
Summary: Now and then and what might be. The 100 Theme Challenge I got off of Dragonwings, who got it off of AngelChild, who got it off of someone else.

26. Tears
She touches the wall, unable to contain her tears as she caresses the drawing carved on its surface and sees the addition made to it.
27. Foreign
She’s talks about clustered buildings, tall castles, and radiant gardens; it makes him long for the world outside his home of islands.
28. Sorrow
He doesn’t want to leave to go on a quest that will take him far away from her, but there are people who need him more than she needs him at the moment.
29. Happiness
He’s finally home and she’s there to welcome him.
30. Under the Rain
Their first dance isn’t under starlight or to music, but under the rain and to the sound of Kairi’s laughter as Sora leads her from one puddle to the next.
31. Flowers
She teaches him how to make a flower crown, and even though he’s crushed half the flowers on his poor attempt, she wears his creation proudly and declares it fit for a princess.
32. Night
The far off landscape is enveloped in an otherworldly glow, which bursts into countless shooting stars that they both watch from opposite sides of a closed pathway that takes the appearance of the restored night sky.
33. Expectations
They’re inexperienced and sloppy, but their first kiss is everything they dreamed of as they press their smiling mouths to one another.
34. Stars
She looks up at the lights shining bright in the sky above and wonders which one he’s on.
35. Hold My Hand
The Wayfinder digs uncomfortably into their palms, but they can’t bring themselves to let go of each other’s hands.
36. Precious Treasure
He finds her memory trapped under layered webs made of altered chains and sets her free with the memory of their promise: to return a charm of Thalassa shells to her.
37. Eyes
Even though he knows he’s about to forget everything about her, Sora can’t help but think that Naminé has Kairi’s eyes.
38. Abandoned
She doesn’t look back at the island as she runs headlong into the portal and closer to Sora.
39. Dreams
He sleeps as his memories rebuild, savoring each time her face flashes across his mind.
40. Rated
Sora looked away from the low cut of Kairi’s new sundress, but that only spurred Roxas into using their imagination in sinful ways.
41. Teamwork
Leaning over the railing, Sora swipes at the escaping balloon before he feels Kairi use his back as a springboard to launch herself into the air and grab the balloon’s trailing string, leaving Sora to cast Aero to help her land safely on the ground below.
42. Standing Still
They stand on opposite sides, an ocean dividing them, but their hands reach out to one another and their vow endures.
43. Dying
He fades out of existence in a soft glow of light and she feels a part of her shrivel up and grow cold.
44. Two Roads
He fiddles with the letter with the three-circle insignia and contemplates which path will keep her the most safe.
45. Illusion
Naminé isn’t Kairi and Sora curses himself for ever thinking otherwise.
46. Family
He knelt before her, pressing the palm of his hand against the swell of her belly and could only marvel at the blessings he kept receiving.
47. Creation
They stand in the center of the Secret Place, thinking of what to draw on the bare space of cave wall between the mushrooms and the odd wooden door.
48. Childhood
Sora lets go of Kairi’s hand as she walks away from him, her steps as measured and slow as the turn of her head while she gazes at the dry, hard-packed dirt that had once been the lush gardens of her early childhood.
49. Stripes
Kairi picks at her un-color-coordinated outfit and blames Sora for not warning her about the squabbles between Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather.
50. Breaking the Rules
"Who says the princess can’t save the knight in shining armor?"
