kh_drabbleTitle: Not Enough
Challenge: [211] Apology (submission 1)
Characters: Naminé, Riku Replica
Word Count: 156
It's been ages since I've posted to this comm, but the prompt inspired me.
The boy's strong-willed green eyes turned glassy as her pencil moved across the paper. His pale skin and blank expression were reminiscent of a doll's, and she felt a sick stab of shame at manipulating this fragile puppet-boy, even though she had no choice. He had an identity, as thin and precarious as it was, a personality all his own that was distinct from the other Riku's.
Then, slowly, like fog fading from a pane of glass, the awareness crept back into his eyes, which fixed upon her with startling, open fondness.
"Naminé," he whispered, and knelt down on one knee before her chair. "I will always protect you, as I've promised." She couldn't meet his eyes. She knew her own identity was false, but even so, she was different from Kairi. She had her own memories. He would not even have that, now.
She did not say "I'm sorry." It would have been no use.

Your way of writing is so lovely--very discriptive. ^_^
