Summary: Sometimes Sora dreams.
Notes: Loosely based off some of my own nightmares. Anyone spot the time of day references?
*~*~*~*
Sometimes, in his dreams, Sora is standing on a dark shore, watching a huge ship sail away. There is a man –a boy? – on that ship. It is night and the moon is absent.
Riku is watching back with hidden eyes, going somewhere that Sora can never follow (Because he isn’t strong enough? …because he’s too strong?)
He gets further away.
*~*~*~*
Sometimes, in his dreams, Sora is sitting with Kairi. She is right here, warm. It is dawn and the sun is shining.
Her eyes are empty, and there is nothing he can do to bring her back. (Because he is weak.)
She is so close.
*~*~*~*
When Sora wakes, he finds that it is already midday and he has wasted valuable hours with scraps of nightmare.
He rises and readies himself for the day’s challenge. (Because he is strong.)
Maybe the darkness is getting to him too.
