Title: Cardinal Rules
Words: around 200
Rating: G
Characters: destiny trio
Notes: Came out of procrastination and thinking of the phrase 'left, right, and centre' at an entirely new level. Also, Riku is hard to write. Much admiration for those who can pull it off.

Cardinal Rules

This time, Kairi is at the centre. Riku is at the left. Sinistra. Sinister. Notquiteright.

No.

And Sora is always right.

Kairi. In the middle. First dividing then reuniting them. Holding their hands together, she prayed for the strength of hearts to persevere despite the pitch black that was tugging at his heart, taking over, swallowing him whole.

It would come from his left. Always.

x

No. This time, Kairi was right. And he should have heard her. He should have listened, damn it!

Because this, he thinks with a look in the mirror, is what happens when you don’t.

x

Next time, he will be in the right. He promises, he swears. It is not superstition; it is not a game.

These things happen on purpose, don’t you know?

x

Last rotation. We stop this now.

Sora is in the centre. And there, he will remain.

Sora is holding his hand and her hand—their hands and everyone’s—because only Sora can.

Like this, they lay down, by the sun, by the sea.

And time can stop. The world can end.

Right here, right now.

And they would not feel a thing.
