Growing up is never easy [[ Closed ]]
Characters: Sora, Riku, Kairi
Time: The morning after movie night
Location: Sora and Riku's hotel room
Content: Despite nightmares and demons and the loss of home, they'll always be together.
Format: Prose
Warnings: n/a
The nightmares hadn't been as bad as they had been the previous few nights, but it was still enough to force him into the waking world with a start. They rattled him because of the truth that crept in every single one of them - the empty Islands, the darkness that held him as a source. Each time he woke up, he found himself nearly strangled with guilt, silenced by the fact that so many people had lost their hearts to the darkness because he had been too eager, too proud, too selfish to see things differently.
He tried sitting up to clear his thoughts, but found he was pinned down somehow on the bed. Fighting a sudden panic, it took him a few seconds to realize that he was held in place by a tangle of arms and legs.
What in the world...?
Blinking slowly, he lifted his head and caught sight of a mess of spiky dark brown hair and just beyond that on the other side of the bed, red hair framing a pale, cherubic face. Sora let out a quiet snore and buried his face further into Riku's shoulder. A part of his mind that was still thinking logically helpfully supplied Sora is a wild sleeper while the rest of his mind went completely blank with a half-registered "what".
