AN: I should be working. I really should. I have a 9000 word essay to write, so why am I writing fanfiction? Stupid brain. Anyway. Not my characters - they belong to SquareEnix.
Nothing has felt the same since Naminé and I fused back into one person. One body, rather. It's as though I never realised something was missing until I got it back, and it's a very strange feeling. It's like I see the world differently sometimes – maybe I'm seeing it through Naminé's eyes.
Sometimes I find myself dressing in white, which I wouldn't have done before. I like bright colours. She wore white, always. When I sit down to do homework, I'll start sketching instead. I could never draw, but she seems to guide the pencil over the paper, tracing out an image. Occasionally, the people I draw are people I've never even seen, so she must have known them, at one time.
When I look in the mirror, if I stare hard enough and long enough, I don't see my reflection any more, I see her, looking back at me. The one feature we share are our eyes – the same shade of blue. Her hair is a very pale blonde, and her skin is even paler. Despite being a redhead, I've always got a slight tan – it comes from living on the islands, being in the sun all the time.
I miss being able to talk to her. It never felt as though we were two halves of one whole – our personalities were so completely different. She was much quieter, much calmer than I've ever been. That part of me hasn't changed. Not a lot has, really. I just feel different. There's only one small, physical change, and that's a streak of blonde in my hair, which wasn't there before. I like it – it reminds me that I haven't lost Naminé; that she's a part of me now, and always will be.
Even when I'm alone, I'm not, not really. Because Naminé is always there with me.
AN: Read and review, please. It really doesn't take long to say if you liked it or didn't like it, so tell me!
