*wave* Hi, this is my first post here. I've been gorging on drabbles and KH2 all day, so I thought I'd contribute something. It's non-challenge, so I hope that's okay.

Title: Chest Pains
Rating: G
Characters: Hayner, Pence, Olette, incredibly vague Hayner+Roxas
Word Count: 266
Warnings: spoilish through the first 5~6 hours of game play for KH2. Oh, and I think I used the A word once ....
Summary: Hayner thinks that he might be missing something.

He feels as though he should be really sad, like he’s lost something incredibly important to him, though he knows everything is where is should be. He glances at the empty space on the sofa next to him, wondering why he thought there should be someone else there.

It makes his chest hurt, but he doesn’t know why.

“Dude … are you alright?”

Pence is giving him an odd look and Olette seems mildly concerned; he must have been staring off into space again.

”Fine,” he grins widely, trying to shake off the inexplicably crippling depression, “Just, uh, thinking. My brain is kind of wandering around today.”

“Oh, well, don’t hurt yourself,” Pence chuckled, “School starts again tomorrow morning.”

“That’s right,” Olette added sadly, “Vacation is over.”

“As if I needed to remember that. You guys are such a buzz kill.”

The three of them laughed, but to Hayner, the scene was incomplete. They were missing something. Something that he was trying so hard to remember but he just kept coming up blank. Why did he look at the empty seat next him and swear he could see an ass imprint that belonged to none of them? Why did it seem like the stack of photos next to them had been changed somehow to cut someone out? Was he losing his mind or something? he shook his head and tried to clear his thoughts.

Why did he feel like a piece of his heart had been cut out and stolen?

He hoped, someday, that he would remember the boy who used to be his best friend.

Enjoy.
