She stood only a few feet away from him, her eyes swimming in tears. She had promised herself to never bother him again, to never see him again. Her heart ached just seeing his eyes, those beautiful sky blue eyes, and the pain in them. She forced a smile, trying her hardest to make it seem genuine. But something told her he knew it was fake, he could always read her like an open book.
He took a step forward, his eyes determined, seeing only her. Everything around him blurred, only his eyes focused on her. He had to tell her, he HAD to. She needed to hear his words; she needed to know his feelings. They had played the stupid cat and mouse game for too long now, the truth needed to be spoken. Her eyes, her cerulean blue eyes, the eyes he loved so much looked a bit hesitant, but mostly he saw her hurt. And it was because of him that she was hurting.
But no more.
She would know, she would know how much she meant to him, how much he wanted her in his life.
As he drew closer, she took a few steps back.
She closed her eyes, and prayed for the strength to walk away, to end it here. She had promised herself and him that she would never reach him again. That she would leave and never be seen again. She'd leave the country if she must!
She opened her eyes, he was much closer now. She willed her legs to move, but they wouldn't respond. Tears streamed down her heart shaped face; she had to make a run for it.
She turned on her heel and began to move.
But he was quick, he managed to grab onto her wrist. She could almost feel the electricity running through her entire body, it only happened with him. Only he could make her feel that way.
"Naminé." He breathed. "Listen to me, please."
She closed her eyes, why was it that her name sounded so beautiful when he said it?
"Just please hear me out!"
She shook her head, not having the courage to speak, feeling her voice would betray her.
"Please..." he sounded so...hurt, his voice was cracking a bit. "Just please...listen to what I have to say."
"N-no." She faltered. She tried to pry her wrist away from him, but it was pointless, he would not let go. "L-let go Roxas."
"Not until you listen." He said, his voice was a bit more firm, but the pain was evident.
"I want to keep my promise." She whispered.
He blinked. "Promise...?"
She took a deep breath, and slowly turned to face him. Her cheeks were streaming with tears, her eyes were a bit red, and her lips trembled. "I promised that after everything was over, I'd leave. That you'd never see me, or hear from me again."
It hit like a ton of bricks, the promise he made her make 5 months ago. He now regretted it deeply; he wished he could take it back. "Naminé, you don-"
"I said I'd keep my promise, and I will." She hiccupped. "I've caused enough trouble as it is."
She yanked her arm away from his reach and ran from him as fast as she could. She couldn't bear it anymore, the closer she was to him, the more pain and problems there would be. This was for the best, for all parties involved.
I would have loved to stay...I would have given everything I own to stay; you mean more to me than anything else. But...you and I just can't be, Roxas.
I can't live without you, but I can't stay with you.
