❛ But Terra, I’m right here… ❜ There’s a strain in that voice that tries to be so strong– so willful– Aqua reaches for him, fingertips just inches from the back of his hand when she stills and draws them back. Years in dark have made her heart a deceivable, tender thing, full of whispers and echoes (sometimes screams) of don’t leave, don’t leave, don’tleavemealone. Palms press over her chest, she tries to quiet it, to buffer the sting. Watching him vanish right before her eyes hurts more than anything the dwellers of darkness– no, the heartless– could ever do to her. There is no warmth to be found with ghosts of her past. Only a reminder of the loneliness, of promises unfulfilled. Foolish– there’s an answer, unsurprisingly, her own voice, again– even the tricks in your heart know they’re tricks. Why can’t you see it?
❛ Please– ❜ Aqua knows, but she says it anyway. She reaches for him anyway.
No matter how impossible things seem…a powerful enough dream will always be enough to light the darkness. Terra’s words to her thrum in her ears, loud as the beating of her heart. She brushes his knuckles this time, though it’s reflected in her own tired eyes that she already knows the outcome. It’s the same every single time–
–his image sways and shatters into golden dust.

She swallowed the stars to relearn the art of making herself glow.
s.a., a modern woman’s word story (via soulfulreverie)
Aqua’s steps are light behind him, just enough to give him a little scare when she rises to her toes and taps his shoulder. Smiling sweetly once she has his attention, she presents the package she prepared, wrapped attentively in ribbon and heart patterned paper. (the contents are a heart shaped card and-- breaking the pattern-- cookies shaped like wayfinders) ❛Happy Valentines Day!❜
terra’s mind was captured by the wonders of how exactly should we deal with a decade of cobwebs and dust, when a sudden tap on his shoulder shattered these musings. he turned with a start, heart jumping for a moment, before shaking his head. it was aqua – of course. she was the only one who gives him such scares. he folded his arms across his chest, and spoke with his most chastising tone. ❛ you know, you don’t always need to sneak up on me like that. ❜ still, a smile found it’s way upon his lips, and his eyes were drawn down to the package she had so neatly wrapped. ❛ hmm – what’s this? for me? ❜ there was a certain softness to her expression as she nodded, and held it forth. a barely visible blush crept atop his face – little gifts from aqua were commonplace, she was always one for crafts and such. yet the copious amount of hearts on a day like this… he couldn’t help but feel, well… embarrassed? bashful? he wasn’t quite sure. gently accepting it, he tried to carefully open the gift without tearing the paper.
❛ you made these yourself? ❜ terra’s words were uttered in hushed awe. the card was definitely handmade, the lettering written in a pretty cursive. he also didn’t know the first thing about making any sort of food, but the cookies looked wonderful; he almost found it difficult to eat them. almost. ❛ huh… these are actually good! ❜ his jest is met with a light jab to his ribs. laughing, his grin gradually faded to that of a small smile. ❛ ah-hah… really, though, thank you. i uh – i have something for you, too! sort of. c’mon— ❜ his free hand flew to hers, the other still clutching the now slightly lighter box, and he began to tug her along.
it was a bit of a trek to the place he was leading her. ( the cookies, unfortunately, did not survive the trip. ) there was a certain area in the land of departure he’d oft go to clear his head at times, far from the castle. never had he revealed it to anyone else – it was the only place in this world he could feel alone. it was his privacy, away from stress or any burdens. but he didn’t want to be alone. not again, not anymore. thus he continued, gaze set far off into the distance. even simply walking with aqua, hand in hand, was enough to calm any anxieties he held. slowly but surely they were wandering through the rolling hills, making an upwards climb. the sun just started to grace the horizon, sending waves of pink and orange through the sky, the clouds reflecting the warm colours. finally, they reached the summit of the earthen spire they had been ascending, and before them they could view the entire land. all of the hills and lakes were so much smaller, they were a canvas of green and blue, like patchwork in its design. the castle was silhouetted against the falling sun, gold roofing and towers gleaming. but the real reason he’d ushered her to the very top was for the thousands of tiny flowers that littered the mountain, cascading down a single side in a waterfall of white.
he finally let go of her hand, eyes flickering between her and the view. ❛ i used to come here from time to time, before everything. it was somewhere i could be alone. myself, i guess. but i thought… ❜ a pause. he was attempting to find the right words. ❛ well, i thought of you. this is the only place these flowers grow. ❜ it had been a while since he had felt this peaceful. in that moment, there was not a worry in the world that could fracture his tranquility. he settled on the ground, legs slightly dangling off the side, and gestured for her to join him. ❛ happy valentine’s day, aqua. ❜
❛ i’m all out of breath . ❜

❛ That’s okay. We can take a break. ❜ Keyblade dispersing with ease, Aqua’s encouraging smile comes as naturally to her as breathing. They might as well, while they have the luxury of these peach-colored skies, spattered with clouds like dollops of whipped cream. Soft sand under their feet, the late afternoon sun shining down on their backs… it’s peaceful. And strange. Aqua still struggles to anchor herself in the present– having to remind herself that the lulling rhythm of these waves are greeting shores not in the realm of darkness, but in the realm of light. It helps most of all to have company. Kairi’s presence is always more than welcome; whether they’re sparring or collecting seashells. And her light is as radiant as ever.
That sweet little girl she met all those years ago is growing up– pink shoulders rising and falling with every breath after a day of laborious training. Aqua feels humbled to witness it, if only just in pieces and fragments. Kairi is tender but fierce; taking great strides forward, no doubt carrying her friends in her heart to become stronger yet.
The determination to press on for those she cares about most– Aqua empathizes with that more than anything. When Kairi first asked her to spar, her acceptance was granted without even a hint of hesitance. Aqua fares better right now– but only because she is backed by years of experience, years of near constant combat in darkness. (and though she is nurturing– she is also a strict teacher) Kairi is well on her way. In time, she’ll surely accomplish great things.
❛ You fought commendably. ❜ One hand rests over her heart and the other finds purchase on Kairi’s shoulder. ❛ I’m truly impressed. ❜

‘ why is it so hard to say no to you? ’
✦ —• to all the boys i've loved before | accepting
❛ Hehe! I wonder… ❜ Triumph is the vivacious quirk of her lips and eyes that sparkle– prismatic– like the ocean under the sun. ❛ Now stay still. ❜ Exuberance swirls through her like carbonated bubbles as she rises to her toes for better reach and, with the attentive brush of her fingers, gingerly fixes some of the baby’s breath that drooped over his furrowed brow. Then, heels clicking to the floor, Aqua takes two steps back to admire her handiwork. On a whim, she had spent her entire morning wreathing a flower crown, full of sunset-warm colors that made her think of him. He looked opposed to trying it on at first… until he registered innocent pride in her presentation, the intricateness of her design.
Terra’s disgruntled expression looks like it needs to be held together with great effort, like he’s pretending not to like it– but she knows him-- can see right past it. There’s a betraying twitch at the corner of his mouth, a smile he's trying to tame into a thin line. Bringing both her hands over her heart, she beams at him– and at last, there it is! A smile. His smile. His name connects him with the earth and it truly suits him so well. ❛ Oh, I knew it! It looks wonderful on you! ❜

‘ and for a second, just for a second, i forgot. i forgot that this isn’t real. ’
‘ but you never said anything! not one frigging word! ’
‘ by all rights, you were mine. ’
‘ do you know what it’s like to like someone so much you can’t stand it and know that they’ll never feel the same way? ’
‘ fighting isn’t a good sign. it means you still care. ’
‘ girls love it when i do that. ’
‘ goodbye doesn’t have to be forever. ’
‘ he looks at you a lot. when you’re not paying attention. he looks at you to see if you’re having a good time. ’
‘ hey, i’m sorry i didn’t show up on your doorstep with flowers and profess my undying love for you, but guess what, that’s not real life. you need to grow up. ’
‘ he’s your boyfriend? since when? ’
‘ how was i supposed to know what’s real and what’s not? it feels like i’m the only one who doesn’t know the difference. ’
‘ i always thought you were cute. ’
‘ i could make him mine, but i don’t want him. i want someone else. ’
‘ i don’t understand you girls. i think i have you figured out and then… and then i don’t know. ’
‘ i don’t want to be scared anymore. ’
‘ i hate change more than almost anything. ’
‘ i hate when people say they have something to tell you and they don’t just say it. ’
‘ if you were mine, i would never have broken up with you, not in a million years. ’
‘ it wouldn’t kill you to get out of your comfort zone a little bit. ’
‘ it’s hard to concentrate when your feelings are hurt. ’
‘ it’s kind of silly to feel so disappointed about something you only just realized you wanted, isn’t it? ’
‘ it’s not like in the movies. it’s better because it’s real. ’
‘ it’s so annoying how handsome you are. ’
‘ life doesn’t have to be so planned. just roll with it and let it happen. ’
‘ love is scary: it changes, it can go away. that’s part of the risk. ’
‘ maybe this was all supposed to happen just like this because… because it was always gonna be you and me. ’
‘ quit. you’re creeping me out. ’
‘ that’s not fair. when we started this thing, you liked someone else too. ’
‘ wanna hear something funny? i think i started liking you. ’
‘ we can still talk to each other. nothing’s changed. ’
‘ we’re not even together anymore so can you stop with this shit? we broke up. we’re over. ’
‘ what do kids our age know about love and life? ’
‘ whatever spell you just tried to cast on me, it didn’t work, so i think you need to go back to hogwarts. ’
‘ why is it so hard to say no to you? ’
‘ you don’t love me. ’
‘ you might think you like me, but you don’t. if you did, you wouldn’t still like her. ’
‘ you only like the guys you don’t have a chance with because you’re scared. ’
‘ you’d rather make up a fantasy version of somebody in your head than be with a real person. ’
‘ you’re just mad because i didn’t die of happiness because you said you liked me. your ego really is that enormous. ’
‘ you’ve just gotta hold your head up and act like you don’t give a shit. ’
‘ you’ve never thought of me that way, not ever, so don’t go trying to reinvent history now that i have somebody. ’
( despite her overall modesty, aqua is sometimes bridled by this quiet need to prove herself-- she stays calm and anticipates her moments to shine instead of arguing her worth; namely in battle, when her actions can do the talking for her. she might be gentle, but she isn’t one to be trifled with and wants it to be known. )

" did you have a nightmare? "
✦ —• the war that saved my life | accepting
Her nightmares feel like falling. They feel like his hands –not his hands– wrapped around her throat, like shouldering the weight of a sleeping boy on her back, wondering if he would ever open his eyes to the light of day again. They feel like facing unfulfilled promises, like darkness; that cold, abysmal place. They feel like a friend –a trick– that vanishes beneath her fingertips. Like… loneliness. Sinking in a sea of misery and despair. Spreading within like a virus, changing the color of her eyes, the interior of her mind.
Aqua isn’t precisely sure whether the night air is chilly or if she inflicted this unshakable cold upon herself. The stars have always calmed her, though, and she doesn’t intend on going back inside anytime soon. So she relies on the palms of her hands, pressed tight to her forearms, rubbing in slow, consoling circles. For so long she had to reach inside herself for something to help keep warm– but ten years of practice, and she hasn’t gotten any better at it. Company is preferable, always, but she wouldn’t dare rouse Terra or Ven this late at night.
This is my burden to bear.
As though to answer her stubborn conviction with a comforting ‘you’re not alone anymore’, a blanket is suddenly draped over her shoulders. Brushing the soft edges with her fingertips, she glances over to see Terra nestling in beside her. ‘Did you have a nightmare?’ She gives her head a weary shake, lips a faint smile. ❛ –Couldn’t sleep. ❜ Is all she offers in way of explanation. Her tongue leadens every time she considers talking about those ten years spent in darkness. But he’s watching her closely and there’s a touch of fear still banked in her eyes– no matter how fervently she tries to push it down. His eyebrows pinch together, unconvinced, and she falters a little in response, hugging her knees and casting her gaze skyward. The stars are pretty tonight. She could try it, but she supposes there are some things she simply can’t hide from him.
❛ I guess I just… have a lot on my mind. It’s nothing, really. ❜ Resigned, she closes her eyes, draws a breath. Then she glances at him. ❛ What about you, Terra? Why are you up? ❜
