kh_drabbleTitle: Girl's Best Friend
Challenge: None
Wordcount: 191
Characters: Kairi, Pluto (Pluto's POV)
Spoilers: slightly spoilery for the last world in KH2
Notes: Long time lurker, first time poster! :O Suddenly got into a Pluto mood, and a fanart and drabble resulted. Yay! (And what's with the present tense?...)
He's not sure why he feels the need to stay beside her. But she smells like salt water and sand and fresh flowers, and that makes him think of sunlit walks in the garden with his master. She's a sweet smell of home in a world where everything else smells metallic and sterile.
For a long time she just paces around, sometimes yelling outside the steel bars, and sometimes talking to him. But for a brief time something hits her, something cold and heavy that even he can sense, and she curls up in the corner to cry.
And suddenly the flower smell is wet, like the garden during a rainstorm, and he wants the sun back out. So he nuzzles beneath her arm until she remembers he's there, and automatically reaches up to scratch behind his ears. Her thin fingers are just perfect for it, and that gets his tail thumping.
Before long she's scratching harder because it makes his tail thump faster, and it feels so good he almost collapses into her lap. She laughs, and that laugh chases away the rain clouds. He's found his sunlit garden again.
