In order to save room and clean up my story list some, I decided to create a Namixas collection to put all of my Namixas one-shots in. So even though I have already posted it, here is where this one-shot will stay. It is based on one of my childhood memories, that I felt was perfect for this couple. Enjoy.

Oh, just to let you know ahead of time, the section in italics is a flashback.

Entry #1

Snowy Days

Namixas

AU

Twilight Town was completely covered in snow this time of year. Smoke was rising from chimneys as people tried desperately to keep warm. School had just been let out and Roxas Hikari was slowly walking home. His day at school had been a particularly hard because of a new girl in class.

Actually she wasn't new, at least not to Roxas. Her name was Naminé and she had been a childhood friend of Roxas. When she moved away Roxas was very sad. However, he had one happy memory of her that kept him going. But now, it seemed that the memory only caused him pain…

"Look at all the snow Roxas! It's beautiful!" A young blonde haired girl exclaimed. Eight year olds Naminé and Roxas were outside playing in the snow one night…

"Yeah… it's just like you…" Roxas mumbled in a quiet voice, not wanting Naminé to hear him. He looked over at her ad noticed she was shivering. "Are you cold Naminé?"

"Just a little bit…" She replied. She was actually quite cold but she didn't want to tell him that. She was having too much fun.

Roxas noticed anyway and stood behind her. He wrapped his arms around her, protecting her from the icy sting of the night air.

"Is that better?" He asked her gently. She nodded back.

"Roxas, will you promise me something?"

"Anything for you Naminé...."

"Promise me that you won't let me forget this."

"Yeah Naminé… I can do that… and Namine… I love you..."

"But I did let her forget…" He mumbled to himself.

Six years later Naminé had finally returned. But there was only one problem, she didn't remember… anything. Probably because she had plenty of time to move on and do other things. However, Roxas hadn't forgotten.

Today in school Roxas was really excited to be back with Naminé at last. But she… she barely treated him as a friend. She had forgotten… and now all the snow reminded him of was that wonderful night…

"I hate snowy days…" Roxas mumbled as he treaded through the snow. It was starting to get dark quickly so Roxas hurried home as quickly as he could. He eventually came to his house.

"Where have you been young man?" His mother screamed as he came through the door. She'd obviously been very worried about her only son.

"Sorry mom… it's really snowing hard outside and it took me a while to get home." Roxas mumbled back in an indifferent voice. His mind was still on Naminé…

"I was worried sick that you had gotten lost and might be freezing to death!" His mother said nervously. Perhaps she was just a bit over protective… and Roxas noticed this time.

"Sorry…" He apologized sounding more sincere this time. He knew how his mom was so he took it well. She sighed in relief before giving me a hug.

"It's ok honey. You're here now and that's all that matters. Do you want me to make you anything?" She inquired.

Her son just shook his head no. "Nah… I'm ok. I'm gonna go to bed." He told her. His mom noticed that there was something bothering him, but she decided to let him be.

"Goodnight Roxas, I love you." She bid him goodnight as he headed to his room.

"I love you too mom. Night…"

He slowly went up to his room, but when he got in his bed he couldn't go to sleep. It was almost two o'clock in the morning by now and his room was freezing. The fire that normally would have provided warmth had gone out a while back. Roxas's mind was still in overdrive and it refused to shut down.

"I broke my promise… I let her forget and now she doesn't remember what happened between us at all. She doesn't know that I still love her even though she's been away for 6 years. And now that she's back, she doesn't remember the way I felt about her anymore…" Roxas sighed in despair.

"I thought that we could be together again, but she doesn't remember… What am I gonna do...?" He thought hopelessly.

It took him a long while, but Roxas finally fell asleep. For the next 3 hours his mind was at peace.

When he woke up however, his mind went right back into overdrive once again. He quickly realized that he was late for school.

"Mom, why didn't you wake me up?" Roxas shouted while running around trying to get ready.

"Oh sorry dear… Last night you just looked so…" She started off but changed her mind.

"Hurry up and I'll drive you to school." She told him before going out to their car to get it warmed up. It didn't take Roxas long to get ready because, well he's a guy.

I mean it normally only takes guys about fives minutes to get ready. But it took a little longer today because for some odd reason he kept on thinking.

"What would Naminé think of this?" It actually caused him to change his shirt about three times! He stopped when he kept on hearing his mom honk the horn signaling him to hurry up.

Eventually he finally got out of the house and opened the door to the car. During the entire trip to school, he just laid his head on the window staring out at the snow, very deep in thought.

His mom didn't try to talk to him; she had to focus on driving since the roads were pretty slick from the snow and ice.

"I wish Namine would remember how close we were and that I loved her… why did she have to move in the first place?!" He thought angrily. He thought that's where all how his problems lie. Pretty soon the school loomed closer and Roxas prepared himself for another hard day of school.

"Have a good day sweetie!" His mom called out to him as he got out of the car.

He immediately felt the cold weather that the car heater had kept at bay. He bundled his hoodie closer to him before heading towards the school building. He had actually made it on time. The bell rang just as he opened the door to the school. Roxas quickly hurried to his classroom and sat down at his desk.

He quickly saw Namine talking to Kairi, and noticed it didn't matter to her that they were together again or that she cared that he was there. He laid his head his head down on his desk and sighed very loudly.

The teacher began to teach the day's lesson, but all Roxas watched the entire time was Naminé. He saw her smile at one of the jokes the teacher had attempting to say. Roxas was completely filled with a very happy and warm feeling in his chest.

"God I love her smile… It matches her completely…" He thought absentmindedly but truthfully.

He snapped out of his thoughts quick enough to realize that he was staring at her. He hadn't been paying any attention to the teacher at all. Well, he was obviously gonna have a bad grade as a result… great.

Lunch time couldn't come quick enough for Roxas. He was going crazy from the many thoughts of Naminé and the teacher's boring lessons weren't helping things either. After a quick stop at his locker, Roxas headed towards the cafeteria and sat down with his best friend Sora.

"Hey Roxas!" Sora shouted as Roxas sat down at the table beside him. However, Roxas didn't return his smile. Sora almost immediately noticed something was wrong.

"Why so glum?" He asked full of concern for his best friend.

At first Roxas didn't feel like talking, but because Sora was his best friend and because he might feel better if he talked, Roxas decided to go ahead and get his feelings out.

"You know who Naminé is right?" He asked and Sora nodded his head.

"Yeah… Oh I see… you like her right?" He asked with a grin. Of course he wouldn't tease Roxas when he was so serious like this, but he couldn't help but smile at the thought that Roxas liked someone.

"No Sora…" Roxas's voice trailed off leaving Sora quite disappointed. The silence didn't remain for long.

"I love her… every since I was little… I told her that I loved her back then but she doesn't remember anymore…" Roxas admitted slowly and ended with yet again another sigh.

Sora felt pity for his friend, but felt more that Roxas should do something about it.

"Wow… no wonder you're down… well something might happen… You just need to tell her and she might remember." Sora suggested to him, but Roxas just choked up in response. It took a few seconds, but soon enough Roxas recovered.

"Yeah right, what would I say? Something like, oh hi Naminé, I don't know if you remember this, but we used to love each other when we were little! Come on, even you wouldn't say something that stupid!" Roxas joked, but Sora didn't take it offensively at all.

"Hey, you never know unless you try!" He stated and Roxas just shook his head.

"Sure…" He muttered and headed back to class before the bell rang. The rest of his classes were as boring as his earlier ones. He was so glad to get out of that building.

Roxas grabbed his things from his locker and headed out the doors. Sora lived on the other side of town so Roxas just walked by himself everyday. However, today there was a girl just up the road from him. It wasn't just any girl… It was Naminé…

"She's so beautiful… The snow makes her look even more beautiful…" He thought as her beauty mesmerized him. Naminé seemed to be looking around for something and this time when she saw Roxas... she smiled.

"Hey Roxas!" She shouted as she ran over.

Roxas immediately started to tense up and get nervous. "Oh crap, what am I gonna say?!" He thought nervously while searching around for some bright idea. He watched as she got closer.

"H…, hi Naminé." He stuttered. He wanted to slap himself for sounding so stupid.

"Smooth Roxas… real smooth…" He reprimanded himself.

Naminé didn't seem to notice at all. Instead she looked down the road and appeared that she was still looking for something.

"Do you live on this road?" She asked curiously.

Roxas who nodded quite nervously to the point he was shaking.

"Uhh… yeah…" He said, not too sure where she was going with it.

"Can I walk with you?" She asked with a smile that made Roxas just melt inside.

"Sure Naminé." He said very eagerly. They walked together side by side. The snow was really starting to come down. It was becoming even colder. Roxas looked at Naminé and noticed that she was shivering. The light hoodie she was wearing wasn't keeping her warm at all.

"Are you cold Namine?" Roxas asked, concerned over her warmth.

"Just a little bit." Naminé admitted. Actually she was really cold, but she didn't want to complain.

Roxas started to think back, into the deep depths of his thoughts.

"Wow… this is just like when we were younger… Now would be the time I put my arms around her. But if I tried that now she might slap me." Roxas thought realistically. They were quiet for a little while. Finally Naminé started a conversation.

"So… what's been going on before I moved back here?" She asked.

"Nothing really interesting…" Roxas just mumbled in reply. Honestly, he didn't know what else to say.

"Oh..." Naminé said quietly before staring back at the road before her. This time Roxas felt like it was his turn to try to talk.

"What about you?" He asked, kinda hoping that nothing really big changed.

"You know the same old same old." She said carelessly.

"Yeah…" Roxas replied. The conversation wasn't really getting anywhere at all. That's when Naminé decided to bring up something that had been really bothering her.

"Hey Roxas, do you remember what I made you promise me a long time ago? I can't remember what it was…" She asked innocently. She had no clue how much stress she just put on Roxas.

"Oh crap… what am I gonna tell her?! If she doesn't like me then she would hate me for saying it… Then she'd never talk to me at all and that would be bad…" He thought wisely so he decided to try to play it cool.

"Umm… why do you wanna know?" He asked back, but his voice had a higher pitch then he would have liked. He felt so embarrassed. Naminé wasn't bothered, she was too interested in the promise she didn't remember. It had kept on nagging her in the back of her mind ever since she moved back and re-joined Roxas again.

"It's been really bothering since I came back. Do you remember what it was?" She asked again. Roxas weighed if he should tell her or not. He decided to because he had already told her that he knew.

"Yeah…" He said and silently hoped she wouldn't make him tell her what it was. But it was gonna happen anyway.

"Then what was it?" She asked pointedly. At this point, not knowing was nagging so much her head hurt slightly.

Roxas released a sigh before saying anything at all.

"You made me promise not to let you forget something…" Roxas trailed off. He felt that he just couldn't tell her…

"What was it?" She asked once again, oblivious to all the nervousness and stress that was on Roxas at that moment.

To this day, Roxas wasn't too sure what had come over him but somehow he found his bravery once again.

"This…" Roxas took a deep breathe and walk a step towards Naminé. She wasn't too sure what was going on but didn't do anything anyway. Roxas carefully put his arms around her and rested his head on her own. Naminé's heart stopped beating along with Roxas's as he finally let his breathe out.

"I love you Naminé… You made me promise not to let you forget that… But I didn't keep my promise…" Roxas finally admitted to her at long last. Strangely enough it felt so good to finally get that out. He felt so at peace and he was at long last with the girl he loved.

"I can't believe that I didn't remember…" She trailed off. Roxas started to pull away his arms because Naminé's response caused him to believe she was going to reject him for some strange reason. Perhaps he was just being paranoid because Naminé grabbed his arms and put them back around her slender body.

"I love you too Roxas… even though I didn't remember, I fell in love with you again…" Naminé admitted to him and sighed in happiness at having her beloved with her once again.

"Did she really just say that or was that my imagination?" Roxas thought nervously once more. His thoughts became words on his tongue.

"Di-did you just say that you loved me?" He stuttered wanting to know the truth. He had been denied so long of having her and now he wanted to make sure this wasn't another daydream.

"Yes Roxas… I love you…" Naminé reassured him and nestled into Roxas's arms once more. But Roxas pulled away. He turned Naminé around and put his hands onto her shoulders. It seemed too much like a dream to Roxas… He wasn't sure at all what the truth was at all.

"What?" She asked curiously.

"I…" Roxas started out worriedly but in a second he worries were pushed aside as Naminé's lips found Roxas's. They shared their first kiss with the snow falling down silently around them. Their kiss grew deeper and deeper.

"You don't know how long I've wanted to do that." Roxas admitted as he felt his love for the blonde girl beside him overflow.

"Then why are we stopping?" Naminé joked and Roxas laughed before kissing his love once again as the pure white snow fell above them.

"I think I like snowy days now…" Roxas thought fondly. The very thing he'd despised earlier that day had become something treasured and special because he was finally with his love under snowy skies.
