Dawn Pt. 7

Be mine

Hello everybody! I am very honored to be one of the people contributing to the Sokai/Rokunami fanzine @twosidesfanzine

In hopes of hyping the fanzine up even more, I’d love to share a deleted scene from my new fanfic “Be mine” that wrote for this project! It acts as a prologue to the rest of the fanfic and while the rest of the fanfic is still understandable without any problem, this scene just adds the icing on the cake :D

Please consider getting a copy of the @twosidesfanzine! All extra funds go to the Best Friends Animal Society (that I would love to link, but I don’t trust tumblr not to make my post invisible and the whole point of this is to make people aware of the zine existing so >.< Sorry!!)

Please enjoy!

“I can do this!”

Sora took a deep breath and squared his shoulders as he looked across the old wooden bridge to the crooked paopu tree and the girl sitting on it. His mouth ran dry.

“I can do this,” he reassured himself, a little less confident as he saw a slight breeze starting to play with her hair, gently rocking it back and forth until she tucked it behind her ear, throwing a short glance back over her shoulder at the same time. Despite their distance, he saw her face light up with recognition and she happily waved at him. Sora swallowed hard.

A stab into his side reminded Sora of the presence of his best friend and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Riku raise his hand in greeting. Immediately, Sora’s hand shot up as well and he waved frantically at Kairi. He didn’t get to hear her soft giggles when he saw her shoulders shake gently, but to his dismay, he couldn’t say the same about his best friend’s snickers.

“Smooth.”

Sora only graced Riku with a scowl before turning his attention back to Kairi who had turned around again to stare at the horizon, waiting patiently for him. As she always did.

“I can’t do this, Riku.”

“Yes, you can. All you need to do is walk over to her, offer her a fruit and bite into it.”

“What if she says no?”

He turned back to look at Riku who sighed and crossed his arms. At the gaze that he threw him, Sora felt himself shrink even more.

“You must be kidding me. Do you really think she could say no? The girl who drew your face on her lucky charm? The girl who was stubborn enough to hold onto the idea of you when everyone else had long forgotten you? The girl who wouldn’t leave your side for days after your last big fight?”

Subconsciously, Sora’s hand flew to his stomach and rubbed the tender spot on it as he threw another look in Kairi’s direction.

Everything Riku said was true. And yet he couldn’t help but be nervous. Sora knew Kairi cared for him, that much was obvious, but he also knew how much deeper his feelings ran: he was ready to commit to her and it excited and terrified him at the same time.

“Hey.”

Riku squeezed his shoulder lightly.

“Don’t worry, she’s just as crazy about you as you are about her, she’s only better at hiding it. Now go,” he said as he gently pushed Sora towards the wooden bridge, “she waited long enough for you.”

Sora nodded.

“Thank you, Riku.”

Taking a deep breath, Sora squared his shoulders once again and walked ahead until Riku called him.

“Hey, Sora! Haven’t you forgotten this?”

Confused, he turned around, just in time to catch something in his outstretched arms.

A paopu fruit.

He threw a last appreciative smile at his best friend before pocketing the fruit and running off towards Kairi.

To be continued ;)

Fate

Not for the first time did Sora wonder about his place in this game. Every time he thought he found where he needed to be, someone came by and shook up his world. Maybe he was not supposed to be in this situation in the first place. After all, most everything that happened since the islands fell to darkness was meant for another.

He wished he could return to the islands. Unlike Riku, he never found Destiny Islands to be a prison, but instead, he thought of them like a homing beacon. Sora just wanted to return home some days. Leave the balance of light and dark to someone else; perhaps someone else would be more suitable to wield the key.

He watched the clouds roll around them in the eternal twilight sky. The Tower was home base for the Guardians of Light right now. The only home he had for the last year.

Namiku/RikuNami is Finally Canon

There is a very missable scene in ‘The Final World’, If you encounter a certain star you will start a conversation with Naminé. During the talk at one point Naminé will assume that no one misses her, after Sora gave Naminé a list of individuals who missed her. Sora mentions specifically that a special someone  misses her and won’t let her down and by the end of the game it was revealed that special person was Riku.
