SoRikuWeek2017 Day 4: Nightmares 

Riku wasn’t a crier. Never had been. But there were times of weakness. Times after his harrowing journey that he broke. Most often they happened in the cold darkness of night. Painful emptiness would plague his dreams. He was alone–truly alone. 
No allies

No enemies

Just a horrifying void threatening to consume him.

He would wake up in a cold sweat: panicked and irrational. It was hardest on nights where he awoke alone in his bed, but most nights he had his anchor.
Sora was a light sleeper and would be at full attention before Riku was even awake; holding his hand in an attempt to ground him, pull him back to reality. When realization hit him, Riku would cling to Sora and let tears soak a familiar shoulder. Every tear was shed out of unabashed relief. Sora was fine, he was fine, the world was fine if only for a moment. Here, in his arms, was the love of his life–the one person he couldn’t bear to ever lose again. The sun kissed smile he vowed to protect. Here, rubbing comforting circles into his back, was his sanity and salvation.
