I know this is a few days late, but I didn't have much time to write it this weekend. Right now im gonna get in trouble for not being in bed, lol. Well...enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I dont own anything here but the story. Square Enix and Disney do. oh well, my Christmas wish didn't come true then, lol.
It had started hours ago, I can't even remember when. I had been at my boyfriend Sora's house, cuddling under a blanket in front of the fireplace on this cold Christmas Eve. Sora had looked scared, worried, and serious for reasons I didn't know. As I started getting sleepy I yawned and laid my head on his shoulder. He pushed back and stood up from the couch.
"Namine," he started, "I-I'm breaking up with you."
My eyes widened and tears threatened to fall. "Why?! It's Christmas Eve!"
He looked down, ashamed. "I found someone I'd rather be with. She's the one for me. This may sound mean, but I knew we would never last."
Suddenly my heart broke; torn into pieces, burned, and then scattered like ashes in my chest.
"Please leave. She's coming soon and I don't want a whole scene." Sora asked no emotion on his face now.
Without a word I ran out of the house and into the snowy outdoors.

It was dark and snowy, only the single streetlight farther up the block supplied me with light. I had tears streaming down my face and the only thing I saw in front of me were my knees. I was leaning against a building with my knees huddled to my chest, keeping me warm, although every time I released a shaky breath I could see it in the air.
Soon I heard a car engine break the silence that was around me. My face had been buried in my knees, so I didn't look up to see whose car it was. It stopped in front of me and I heard a car door open and close, yet the engine was still on. Footsteps came closer and closer and I just prayed to God that whoever it was wouldn't take advantage of my vulnerable state and scar me for life. The footsteps stopped in front of me, but still I didn't look up. Suddenly a warm hand wiped snow off of my hair and even warmer arms wrapped around my body, lifting me up bridal style and hugging me to his chest. I listened to his even heartbeat before I finally looked up. All I saw was a familiar sad smile that I swore I knew. But sleep took over my body and I blacked out.
I woke up at least an hour later on a soft couch with a blanket surrounding me. Groggily I looked up to try to see where I was. The house seemed so familiar but I couldn't place where I knew it from. I sat up and rubbed my eyes before heading for the kitchen. I must have subconsciously knew where I was going because even half asleep I had found my way without a problem. My eye's were half closed, but immediately they widened when I saw who my savior was. With blonde, unkempt hair and eyes the darkest, deepest blue I had ever witnessed was Roxas, waiting for me with arms wide open. Memories of my childhood and my senior year of high school 2 years ago rushed into my mind, reminding me of my best friend. He had been shipped to a private school that last year of high school, so we fell out of touch. But when I saw him now I remembered everything we had been through, and I jumped into his waiting arms, crying both tears of joy and tears of sorrow.
"Finally awake? I thought you were going to stay passed out all night." He commented with a smile.
"Roxas! I haven't seen you in forever! H-how did you know that I would be there?" I cried into his shoulder
"Well Kairi broke up with me to be with my cousin Sora, but he called me and told me that you took it really badly. So I scoured the neighborhood 'till I found you. Are you okay?" he explained.
I looked down, a small smile on my face. "Now I am."
He hugged me tighter, then released me, putting his hands on my shoulder. "I'm just gonna come out with it," he started, gulping before continuing. "I love you Nami. I always have and probably always will and I just needed to get that off of my chest."
I was stunned for a minute until a wide smile took over my features. "I love you to, Roxas. After you left I was so sad, but Sora helped me through it. But I never truly stopped loving you. I think I saw enough of you in Sora that it allowed me to be happy when you were gone."
"That's a relief." He chuckled. "So…do you want to stay here for Christmas?"
I smiled back. "Sure!"
We walked back to his living room, hand in hand, fingers entwined. He sat down on one side and I rested my head on his lap, lying across the couch. He smiled down at me before throwing a blanket around my body. I yawned and closed my eyes, finding sleep to come quickly.

"Merry Christmas!" I heard throughout my dream, waking me. I looked around to see Roxas smiling like a little kid under the Christmas tree. Outside it was snowing, the first White Christmas I had seen in years.
"Merry Christmas!" I giggled, running up to him and embracing him in a big hug.
"Here," he handed my a tiny box, wrapped delicately in blue wrapping paper with a big bow on top, "open it." He commanded.
As I opened it I gasped; inside was a necklace in the shape of a heart, painted with a light blue, the color of my eyes.
He looked down, ashamed, but with a nervous smile, "Originally that was for Kairi, but I think blue is more your color." He explained as I fastened the necklace around my neck, "If you don't like it, we can return it and get you something different."
"Roxas…," I whispered, "It's beautiful." Tears of joy were dripping out of my eyes and he wiped them away softly with the back of his hand.
"But I don't have anything to give to you! I'm sorry!" I apologized.
"Knowing that you love me is enough." He smiled sheepishly, and I kissed him on the lips softly.
"Best Christmas ever" he breathed after our embrace.'
"Agreed." I giggled, before kissing him again, this one longer and more intimate.
In my mind I pictured a camera panning out from our embrace, out of the house and into the snow that was falling oh so delicately to the ground. "THE END" would fade in and the screen would slowly go dark. This day marked the beginning of something beautiful.d
Okay, okay, i didn't like the beginning either, but at least the rest of it was good, right? I hope you liked it. I may have been a bit rusty, seeing as I haven't updated anything in a while. oh well.
I'm going to update this story with an alternate ending, so look out in the next few days!
Review please!
Roxas hugging Nami, and they say it together: "review please!"
