A/N: I hate glorifying things like this because then it makes it invalid for people that have it way worse that I do...but I've been pretty depressed lately. So I'm sorry if this is crappy. I just thought getting lost in fanfiction would help me a little.
Comments really keep me going on writing fanfiction. I love pleasing a crowd or knowing that I'm not the only one who likes my writing.

You sat down on the old wooden pier that overlooked the ocean water. Your hung your legs over the side and leaned back. You closed your eyes and took a deep breath in, basking in the warmth of the sun and enjoying the scent of the seasalt. You opened your eyes and stared off into the distance. You could feel tears welling up in your eyes as a million thoughts rushed in your head.
Tomorrow would be the fated day to repeat the Keyblade War and to defeat Master Xehanort and the new Organization XIII. You had felt defenseless before as you watched Sora and Riku fight off members past of the Organization when you had last infiltrated their base. Even Kairi had gotten her own keyblade at that time which made you stand by defenseless. In recent months you had been able to find your own keyblade and train as Sora and Riku went through the Mark of Mastery exam. In the end Riku came out victor and Sora almost fell to darkness.
For what felt like eternity you had been training even harder with Kairi and Axel in a world where time almost stood still. You still didn't feel ready after the training, but it was probably your own self doubt getting the best of you.
You looked to the left to see Sora and Kairi sitting on the paopu tree. On the beach near the pier Riku seemed to be enjoying the sunset by himself. You looked back to the sun and hoped that one day the four of you could all return home someday. Maybe you could play a few games for old time's sake.
You blinked and let the tears fall. The droplets fell into the ocean. You hadn't noticed, but your legs that were once swinging before had stopped.
"[Y/N]." You heard Riku call for you. You turned to see him standing in front of you. He kneeled down to your level. He smiled down at you, but seemed to be hiding something behind his back. As you tried to look behind him to see what it was, he noticed that your cheeks looked damp. "Are you okay?" He asked. He sat down next to you and swung his legs over the edge. His hands seemed to be empty.
"It's nothing really, just nerves I guess." You answered. You looked down at both of your feet dangling over the water. You didn't notice as Riku reached into his pocket to bring out a paopu fruit.
"I came here...for a reason." Riku said. You looked up at him and saw the fruit laying in his lap. "I thought we could do this a different way." He pointed towards Sora and Kairi where you could see the two feeding each other a paopu, just like their cave drawing. You then looked to Riku again as he extended one of the star points towards you. He moved his mouth closer to a point across from yours.
"What are you trying to say, Riku?" You asked. Riku opened his mouth slightly as a way to motion for you to prepare to take a bite out of the fruit at the same time. You leaned in and prepared as you waited for an answer.
"I want to be with you forever." Riku then began to bite down on the fruit and you followed. You chewed and took in the sweet taste that was like a mix of pineapple, mango and coconut. Riku let the paopu rest between you two as he got closer. "I...uh..." He seemed to be at a loss for words. You understood his embarrassment as you could feel your cheeks were probably a few shades darker than his. You then brought up a finger to his mouth to stop him from his stuttering.
"I love you too." You said as you brought your finger down from his lips. Riku caught you hand before it could fall into your lap and brought you closer.
"Really?" He asked. His eyes were searching for any signs of doubt in yours, but he found nothing but pure compassion. You nodded and he brought his other hand to cup your cheek.
"It took me a while to realize...I'm sorry." Riku looked away for a moment.
"Don't be. I knew you'd come around." You smiled at Riku as he looked back to you. His smile made your heart skip a beat. He glanced at your lips for a moment before slowly coming closer to close the gap between them.
"I've loved you for a long time, [Y/N]."

"Sora, look." Kairi pointed towards the dock. Sora finished licking the paopu juice off of his fingers as his eyes followed where Kairi was pointing.
"Riku and [Y/N]...are they kissing?!" Sora exclaimed. Kairi sushed Sora as she swooned over their perfect looking moment.
"I always knew Riku loved her." Kairi said. She smiled as she looked towards Sora.
"Ah...uh...me too!" Sora said as he scratched the back of his head. He felt backed into a corner as he knew Kairi was anticipating whether or not they would also kiss.
"Sora..." Kairi teased.

You looked around as faces familiar and new crowded your childhood island playground. You laughed as you ducked from a flying frisbee coming your way. You looked to see that one of your new friends, Ventus, had caught it. He continued to throw it around to Axel, Saix, and Terra. (Or should you call them Lea and Isa?)
You looked towards the sunset as multiple activities occurred around you. The sunset looked exactly the same as it had a few days ago. You then felt arms wrap around from behind you and leaned back into the embrace of Riku.
"I didn't know if I'd ever see you again going into that battle." You said. Riku slowly turned you around to face him. He smiled down at you and brushed a few strands of hair behind your ear.
"Paopu or not, you're stuck with me."
He then closed the gap between your lips again.
