A Better Way

By xLycheeRain

Roxas was walking leisurely down the sidewalk to his house. He'd just gotten out of a party from Axel's and was dead tired… though one small detail didn't leave his mind the entire time. He hadn't seen his platinum blonde friend all day. He shrugged his shoulders as he walked, trying not to dwell on it too much. It was Christmas after all; she was probably spending it with her sister Kairi or something.

Roxas halted in his step when he thought he heard crunching snow behind him. Swiveling on his heel, he found no one there. Slowly turning around, Roxas was suddenly tackled into the white fluffy snow.

Groaning slightly, he found a heap of flaxen blonde on his chest, cornflower blue eyes peering up at him playfully. Roxas let a smile slip onto his face, ignoring the pain.

"There has got to be a better way for you to get my attention"

The girl on top of him flashed her pearly whites and murmured,

"Hello, Roxas."

Roxas blushed deep red, thanking God that it was already semi-dark outside. He didn't even realize that the blonde girl had lifted herself off of him, offering him a hand up. Roxas graciously took it, and then realized something.

"Say Nami, what brings you here? I figured you'd be spending the day with Kairi."

"She was spending it with Sora. I spent the morning shopping with her…"

Roxas felt an arm loop around his as the two walked the rest of the way to his house. Gulping nervously, Roxas opened his mouth to fill the silence but was cut off,

"You don't mind if I spend Christmas with you, right?"

"Y-yeah, no problem, Naminé."

Roxas looked down and found the blonde smiling up at him. Flushing again, Roxas turned his head away, staring down his front door. It seriously didn't help that he had a crush on his best friend for the past year and she was currently smiling at him with her big blue eyes.

"Roxas?"

Snapping out of his daze, Roxas looked down at his blonde companion.

"Yeah?"

Naminé giggled,

"We're at your front door."

"Oh! Haha… my bad…"

Roxas cursed mentally as he fumbled with the keys in his pocket. As he lifted them out of his pocket, his numb fingers dropped them into the snow. Roxas hastily dropped down to pick them up but collided foreheads with someone.

"Ow—"

Roxas felt a pair of soft lips on his forehead, the sudden pain immediately vanished. Roxas' eyes widened as he saw Naminé draw away from him, cheeks painted crimson.

He opened his mouth to talk but a slender finger pressed against his chapped lips. Roxas gave Naminé a confused look up saw her point her finger upward. Tilting his head up, Roxas saw what his best friend had been gesturing to.

Before Roxas even had time to think about blushing, a pair of hands gripped the scarf around his neck and pulled him downwards. Roxas' eyes widened even further when his brain finally registered that he was in a lip-lock with his best friend… that he had a crush on… for a year. He hastily shut his eyes; it was impolite to keep his eyes open when a gorgeous girl that he liked was kissing him!

Suddenly, the warmth on his mouth was gone and Roxas let his eyes flitter open. The blonde in front of him gave a sheepish look and opened her mouth and hoarsely whispered,

"I—"

On impulse, Roxas wrapped his arms around the petite blonde's waist, bringing her closer, and angled his head down to capture her soft pink lips. Roxas nearly burst with happiness when he felt two small arms wrap around his neck, bringing him closer to the other source of heat.

After a few minutes without oxygen, Roxas pulled away and rested his forehead against Naminé's, both of their faces flushed. Roxas licked his chapped lips, causing the blonde in his arms to blush deeper. Smiling to himself, he landed a peck on Naminé's lips again. Naminé grinned shyly and looked into Roxas' cobalt eyes and whispered,

"Merry Christmas, Roxas."

Roxas chuckled lightly and pressed his lips to Naminé's forehead, murmuring,

"You should definitely get my attention this way more often."
