They watched the sun setting goldenly on the water, the day dying around them in a splash of purple light, settling over the land as the day ended.
The tree bent over enough to allow a decent seat, and Kairi realized there was no where else she'd rather have been than there, with Sora, watching the sun set as they did every day, the day's death beautiful and harsh at once.
" College in the fall, y'know." Sora said randomly,
brushing his hair out of his eyes, which reflected the blue-green glare of the sea like twin mirrors set in stone.
Kairi watched the water, and didn't answer.
" I wish you were going to Twilight U with me, Kairi. "
Kairi's mind raced; not this... not now.
Sora climbed up besides her on the tree, staring out at the water quietly. He took her hand, and held it tight.
" We'll always be together Kairi: I promise. Nothing will change that."
Suddenly, Sora began to sing, his deep voice beautiful in the settling darkness; " Alone for a while, I've been searching through the dark.."
Kairi's eyes teared, as she watched the sun finally sink over the edge of the sea, listening to Sora's soft singing.
" Our paths, they did cross, though I cannot say just why.."
All these years, She and Sora had been together: Nothing was going to change that, she was sure of it.
" Melodies of life, love's lost refrain.."
She sang, her voice joining his in unearthly harmony in the sudden dusk, the day ahead bringing changes that didn't matter then, so long as they had that night, that last week of summer before the Fall, to be together.
