kh_drabblechallenge: 221: Spellbound
title: Moonlight
word count: 220
rating: all ages
characters: Isa, Lea
spoilers: for their existence, and KHII
Isa doesn't go out at night. He's actually kind of a stick-in-the-mud, to tell the truth, and is no fun at all, which is the very reason why Lea likes hanging out with him. He makes the best expressions whenever Lea is bullshitting, a blank look that tells Lea he wouldn't believe him if he said the sky was blue, and every now and then he'll say something so funny in that deadpan voice that makes Lea laugh for hours and--
Well, anyway, Isa doesn't go out at night, but Lea's had a good record with 'eating icecream before dinner' and 'running away after accidentally breaking a window,' so he thinks 'breaking curfew' will be an easy sell.
And it does go easy, relatively speaking, and he drags Isa a few feet out of his house, laughing all the while, and then the moon comes out from behind a cloud and Isa starts to shake.
"It's the wrong shape," he says, and his voice has the rough highlands accent of Isa's parents. "There are thirteen shadows who believe they are people, but their copper-eyed hearts have run away, and Ansem. And Ansem. And Ansem."
The trance breaks, and he stares at Lea in wonder.
"Axel. Didn't you already kill yourself?"
Isa faints then, and Lea barely catches him before he hits the ground.
