Chapter Text
Riku dreams of Sora sleeping.
Of liminal spaces and floating forms, a boy suspended in ethereal glow, the faint trace of fingerprints left on glass. Riku dreams that Sora never wakes and that Riku never lives without him. They stay within their white-walled bubble as the worlds die outside, as light falls and darkness prevails, and they remain untouched.
Riku dreams that it’s only the two of them and they never speak, because Sora is locked in eternal slumber and because for Riku words lost meaning the moment he lost sight of his light. Riku sits with his back to the wall and watches, ensures that nothing changes and that they never grow older. A Neverland of his own, to protect and hold stable. A localized supernova frozen moments before the collapse. No one leaves and no one enters and they remain untouched.
It never matters that a single touch is all Riku desires, all he needs to feel the air in his lungs again. Sora is still and quiet in his living grave, and Riku vows to never leave him.
An eternity in paired solitude. Unending youth in exchange for unending freedom.
Riku dreams of their own lonely time capsule...
And wakes to blue eyes filled with life.
