The gentle dawn smiled at his mournful eyes. The sun, peeking over the horizon, was ablaze with blood, but his shaking heart could see the calm yellow resting in its core.
He bit his pale lip, a weak attempt to shush the pain in his heart. Watching the sun rise reminded him of home, of his clothes, smelling of the ocean...of what he had lost.
The King's cliché words echoed through his glittering hair. It made him remember that the dawn found his light and guarded it deep down inside. And until the evening twilight would it shine down.

KHL: Kingdom Hearts Literatures
Okay. Yellow...this is so not a Riku colour. Aside from the fact that his KH shirt was obnoxiously yellow, it really does not work for his character. The sun...yeah, it's all I got. I do like this drabble though. For all the trouble it gave me, it turned out shiny and Riku-luff worthy.  Edit: So I'm totally retarded. Managed to go from past tense to present to past again, all in 100 words. X_X Also, I changed the first use of the word "made". The repetition bothered me Kingdom Hearts Literatures ©  Warmth © Me Kingdom Hearts Literatures @ Riku-of-Darkness. Riku: Yellow ~~~ Zexion == Dk.

 Hmm, I'm not sure how I feel about the switching of tenses, but I do like the overall feel. Yellow isn't bad for Riku.
 Mwaha. I think it's because I switched tenses without realizing what I'd done.
 It's hilarious how easily one can screw up with a story that's only 100 words  -- Wandering the rain soaked nights. Searching for a storm to wash away these blood-stained tears "If you are an Unknown, you must have a variable in your name." [Kat] "The road to hell is paved with adverbs" [Stephen King] All fixed! It's a lot stronger now.
Thank you muchly. I can't believe someone can screw up so much in 100 words. X_X
-- Wandering the rain soaked nights. Searching for a storm to wash away these blood-stained tears "If you are an Unknown, you must have a variable in your name." [Kat] "The road to hell is paved with adverbs" [Stephen King] Aww, don't be so hard on yourself!
*Shrug* It's more of laughable shame. I read it over so many times that I'm surprised I missed that.
