Where the Heart is (Kingdom Hearts, Aqua & Aeris)
Title: Where the Heart is
Author/Artist: rinyula
Fandom: Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep
Pairing/characters: Aqua & Aeris
Rating: G
Warnings: Drabble contains spoilers for Birth by Sleep endgame.
Prompt/challenge you're answering: Aeris and Aqua, there are no strangers under cherry blossoms
accompanying drabble-y thing (spoilers for Birth by Sleep endgame!):
"Who are you looking for?"
The voice makes Aqua start, look up, squinting at the sunlight through the branches. The gardens here are beautiful, the trees all in bloom, the air fresh as new life after spending so long in the darkness, but that's not why she's here.
It reminds her of home, and they say home is where the heart is.
"How do you know I'm looking for someone?" she hedges. The girl doesn't look threatening - dressed head to toe in pink, with an smile bright as the sunshine and hair a rich earth-brown, but Aqua's learnt by now never to trust solely by appearance. Her eyes are green, Aqua notices, and suddenly sad.
"Everyone's looking for someone here."
Aqua knows that's probably true, considering everything she's heard about what happened after not one, but nearly all of the Keyblade's chosen were wiped out almost simultaneously. Her hand goes to her Wayfarer's chain automatically, touching it for reassurance.
Home is where the heart is, and they're the only ones dear to her heart. If she can't find them here, she can't find them anywhere.
The girl is watching her intently, and then, inexplicably, laughs.
Aqua tenses immediately. "What -"
"C'mon," the girl says, taking her hand and tugging her to her feet. Her hand is warm, and her smile is radiant. "Let's go find them."
note to mod: I don't know if this counts as a crossover or not, since Aeris and Aqua haven't yet been together in the same game, but both exist in the Kingdom Hearts universe? ^^;
