Warnings: Mm. None except that this is a first-person, present-tense ficcu.
I stare at the floor as the door opens inwards, kicking my feet so that they almost hit the bottom of the chair I sit on. My hands, clenched together in my lap, are almost white with the pressure; I don’t dare look up, knowing my face is probably bright red.
‘Kairi?’
The voice is soft, soothing, but it does nothing for my mood. I bite my lip as my legs come to a stop, looking up very slowly at the woman before me. My tongue darts out of my mouth to catch a piece of short red hair, pulling it back past my lips to allow me to chew on it. I twirl it around my tongue as the woman smiles gently.
‘Kairi, there’s someone here to see you. Two boys, in fact. They want to show you around the island. Would you like to go?’
Would I like to leave the house? is what she’s really asking. I nod slowly, shyly, sliding out of my chair and arranging my skirt carefully.
The woman smiles again, leading me to the door, where the boys are waiting. The shorter boy is grinning, bright blue eyes so like my own lit up with joy. The taller one is silver-haired, and though he’s not smiling, I can see a faint interest in his eyes.
‘Hi!’ greets the blue-eyed boy, waving at me with such fervour his brunet spikes bob merrily.
‘Hi,’ says the silver-haired one, nodding at me. ‘I’m Riku.’
‘Oh, yeah!’ realises the brunet, putting a hand behind his head with a sheepish look. ‘I’m Sora!’
As I open my mouth to reply, the saliva-slicked strand of hair falls to the side; I brush it away slowly, tucking it behind an ear. ‘I’m . . . I’m Kairi.’
