The Waiting Game

…

I hate this. Waiting for Sora to come back…

I asked Cid one day if he knew anything about waiting. He grunted.

"You mean waiting for the one you love?"

I nodded. I thought so, at least. Cid put his chin in his hand, leaning on the counter. "Kid, I've been waiting for nine years for her. Get the feeling I'll be waiting until the day I die."

I'm scared. I don't want to wait until my life is over. I don't want to wait until I'm bitter like Cid, numb from the pain.

Sora, please come back for me.

…

A/N: Cid is, of course, waiting for Shera. I am starting to really love Kairi's character, so read my other stuff with her, which should be updated.
