Title: Vindicated
Words: 308
Notes: She's come, and now all he can see is her. (Second person POV. Very slight hints of SoraxKairi, RikuxSora. When they were kids on the island.)



You're worried.

You're worried because he plays with her just as much as he used to play with you. Because he shows her all the climbing places and all the hiding places and where you play 'good knight and bad knight' together; he shows her the Papou tree (your Papou tree!) and he shows her the Secret Place that you found with him last summer, when you were exploring together for the last time (the last time without her, your mind whispers).

And you're worried, because you don't want him to like you less, because you don’t like her like he does. Because she’s taking him from you.

And that scares you.

So you're not only worried, but scared, too.

You don't want him to like you less. You don’t want her to take him from you.

But you don't know what to do, because she's there, and he's with her, so far, far away, over there, and there’s nothing else you can do but watch as she giggles and he leads her through the opening into the Secret Place with your smile on his face. The smile he reserves for you. And he's giving her that smile and you're getting angry, and scared, and worried, all at one time, and you don't know what to do, because he was your friend, not hers.

And because she's winning him. And you know that.

And it hurts.

So you fight him.

You make him your rival, just so you can stay in the spotlight, stay in his eyes and keep him to yourself, even if it means him being at the end of your blade and a deadly look of rivalry mixed with adoration gleaming in your eyes, reflected in his to blur the emotions together into mixed blue and green.

Just so you can still be his favorite.

Hi, sorry to be a bother. I absolutely love your use of the second POV (I like to use this as well, because it's unique and hard to maintain realistically, but it creates such a beautiful effect), as well as the subtle but not overbearing nuances of Sora/Kairi versus Riku/Sora. What I really like about your fic is that you do not even attempt to make it obvious, just so that a non-yaoi fan can also enjoy this fic and feel that all just Riku wants is his friend's attention, and nothing more than that.

However, you misspelt 'you're' in the phrase, 'in the Secret Place with your smile on his face'. Sorry to be a nitpicker. That's about it.

A brilliant piece of writing. I love writing in 2nd person POV, and it's actually my preference when it comes to fanfiction. I love how you projected the emotion; it was palpable and simply wonderful.

Excellent job, my dear.

Hee! You're very much welcome, my dear. If you like Pirates of the Caribbean and you like 2nd person POV, you should check out www.opportunemoment.net! I'm a "Crewmember" there, as well as a writer, and the work is all very lovely.

But yes, darling, be proud! It's such a pretty piece - *pets your writing* - and I quite honestly love it. *smooch*

*hugsback!*

*huggles* Not a problem. =D

Poor, poor Riku! I really feel him, because sometimes I felt like that when my friends were becoming too distant from me.

This is somewhat belated, 'cause I'm catching up with this community a bit late, but...I love this. ♥ This is how I always thought Riku might react to Kairi's arrival -- In my opinion, there's a rivalry between him and Kairi, not just him and Sora. You word everything so...perfectly for this.
