Challenge: [none]
Title: Worthy
Word Count: 162
Notes: Short, post-KHII-ish. Something that I scribbled out in the middle of the night.
It was more than he had hoped for.
Riku flexes his hand, opening and closing it like something delicate. He tries to memorize every line and curve and callous on his palm and fingers in the dim darkness of the night. They used to be large – much larger – but they still shake the same way when Riku stares at them. These were rough and perhaps not all that exceptional, but in the end they were his.
He cups his face in his hands to calm them...
...And jumps a little when he finds two pairs of hands slipping around and into his own; one light and smooth, and the other small but strong. They hold him as tightly as he holds his own breath, and he returns the grip after a short – very short – pause. Finally, he lets out a sigh.
Not just his, then, but theirs.
They pull him down with them, back to the bed, and to sleep.
It was much more...
