Challenge: 217-Letting Go
Title: Promises to Keep
Word Count: 352
Warning: No real warnings unless you've not played any of the games.
Summary: It's hard to keep a grip on what you promised if you keep on getting shoved away.
He lost count of the number of times he had to let go.
He didn't count the first time he left the island. It wasn't his fault that he couldn't grab onto Riku; that he had to leave home and his mother and friends; all that he knew.
But when he had to leave Riku-- when Riku didn't want to hold so that Sora had to let go--
--when he had to leave Riku behind the door. Shutting him behind the door was the hardest thing he ever had to do; it took more strength to see and let that smile of Riku's go, to make his promise.
To let go of that promise because Kairi would be safe, he would come back to her, but Riku-- Riku needed him and Riku was lost and he couldn't ever totally let go of that. That was a more important promise, he thought. He made it in his heart and he had to follow through.
When he was at his island, fingertips brushing Kairi's and he had to let go, then. It was one of the hardest things to do. He was home, it was there and Kairi and the smell of the ocean, but he had to go back and find Riku, bring him back home as well so that they wouldn't let go of each other.
He had to let go of all the friends he made, the connections across the worlds and even though the strings went all across the multiverse, he couldn't reach them. He hated letting go but he knew that even if he let go, it wasn't forever and he would find his way back.
Sora had to let go of his memories; of talents and magic and all that he knew to gain back what he never had in the first place... and then let go of that as well to gain back what he had before.
No matter what, though-- he wouldn't ever let go of his friends, of his promises and what he had set out to do.
Too many people were counting on him.
