WTF AM I DOING? POSTING A CHRISTMAS STORY NOW? XO
Gawd I'm such an ass! I'm so sorry! I just haven't been posting and I feel so mean and heartless and- well you get the idea but still! I feel really bad, but I was focused on my exams and my art, so not much has been written. This was something I started way back around Christmas that was supposed to be posted on Christmas Day, but alas that did not fly with my schedule. XD I really don't know why I'm even posting it now, but I worked hard on it so I figured why not? This was originally a one shot that started out with like 18 pages, and it wasn't even done, so I'm making this a short story with chapters. It's almost just about done, but then again maybe not. XO
This was based on a shopping trip I did with my mom and my sister. I was realising as we went around the mall all the cool stores there were, so everything mentioned is the stores I frequent the most. It was funny cuz I picture the KH gang in the mall I go to, and thought it would be hilarious. There are some random notes highlighted in bold that are my comments, and they will most likely be repeated at the end.
LOTS OF VULGAR LANGUAGE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. I have such a potty mouth, but I couldn't help it. It just seemed to fit with such teenage type people. XP
I don't own anything mentioned except for the plot. ;C

Oh the holidays: how they suck.
Christmas is the one time of the year where procrastinators and people that have no money are pretty much screwed. You have to go shopping weeks in advance to buy the right sizes of clothing, the right color, or maybe an item that is hard to find. God forbid the present you want to buy is on sale; the early shoppers will tackle you to the ground for those. Then there are the lines: the fucking huge three hour long line-ups that suddenly appear before you just as you walk towards the cash register. Sometimes, just to screw you over or even just to make your life more miserable for the enjoyment of the establishment owners, prices are even more expensive than usual.
I, for one, don't have to deal with those. My Christmas consists of numerous friends with a few traditions. One of these traditions includes shopping for Christmas presents the day after Boxing Day to save us from bankruptcy at the age of fifteen( or slightly higher in Axel's case, Larxene etc.). This means no long line ups, no expensive merchandise and no hassle. The amount of people that actually go to the mall after the one day of the year with the most sales is less than three quarters than the usual amount. I guess people never realised the sales continue throughout the week.
Oh well, too bad for them.
Currently I am wandering around the food court in search of my friends. This is another tradition we have: meet up before buying presents. My outfit today consisted of my waist high black coat with brown fur along the hood that was unbuttoned to reveal my tight fitted white v-neck with a few black horizontal stripes on the front and the word "Amnesia" spelled in different forms and colors with a purple tank top underneath. A long light purple scarf was wrapped around my neck once with the excess material hanging in front. A pair of blue skinny jeans hugged my legs and a pair of purple, grey and white DC Women's Samantha shoes (I have them, and I love them XD) adorned my feet. My long blonde hair was straightened and left alone with my choppy bangs in their usual spot on the side of my face. And makeup…well other than mascara, I got nothing.
My ringtone blared through my jacket pocket, and without a second thought, I flipped the white devise open. I scanned over the screen and noticed it was a text from my besty Roxas.
From: Rox :P
To: Nam XD

I hastily typed my response.

I sighed before answering.

I couldn't help but laugh at his reply.
From: Rox :P
To: Nam XD
Thaz wut I said
I closed my phone and returned it to my pocket before wandering around the food court while waiting for the group to find me. I'd been looking around for about five minutes before a frantic yell and a delighted squeal caught my attention. I had a feeling they were from my friends, but I checked to be sure. I turned around to see a boy running towards me with two girls tailing him: Roxas, Kairi and Selphie. Kairi wore black skinny jeans with pink ballet flats. She had on a white Bench coat with the logo written neatly in pink vertically on her side and a pink long sleeved shirt rested beneath it. Her wine red hair was styled straight as usual and her face was decorated perfectly in makeup. As for Selphie, the brunette wore knee high brown boots and black leggings. A long yellow shirt with white beads was covered by a long brown coat. She too wore a scarf, but in yellow and white.
The boy, Roxas, wore a black leather jacket, a white t-shirt with the logo from Herley scrawled in black across his well toned chest. Loose torn up dark washed jeans covered his legs and a pair of black and white skater shoes adorned his feet. His spiky blonde hair was in disarray as usual and his cerulean blue eyes twinkled with delight as he ran towards me. I was staring, I admit, and I quickly realised this before being tackle hugged. And here I thought I would avoid being tackled by coming after Christmas.
"Nam!" He greeted happily before twirling me around. I laughed loudly as the two girls quickly followed.
"Hey Nam!" Kairi greeted joyfully before grabbing me from Roxas's iron grip to hug me in one of her own.
"Hey –wheeze-Kai," I gasped as she crushed my lungs.
"Hiya!" Selphie greeted excitedly beside the red head.
"H-hey," I breathed when Kairi released me before turning to the redhead and joking, "Please tell me that squeal was from you Kairi."
"Nah, Rox was just so excited that his voice got all high pitched," she grinned.
"Your just jealous that I didn't tackle hug you Kai," he retorted.
"Of course Roxy-poo," she smirked.
"Glad to see you admit it Kiwi," he grinned triumphantly. (I have no insulting nickname for Kairi, that's all I could come up with XP)
She stuck her tongue out playfully before the rest of the gang arrived. Sora, also known as Kairi's whipped boyfriend, was dressed in a blue jacket matching Kairi's with Bench written in black on the hood. He wore dark blue ripped up jeans similar to his brother Roxas 's and black converse. His spiky brown hair was even worse than Roxas, but more in a cute way that Roxas's ho-I mean mature way. Sora quickly wrapped his arm around Kairi while Riku, Hayner, Pence, Olette, Axel, Larxene, Zexion and Demyx greeted me.
Riku stood beside the couple wearing a long grey coat with dark blue jeans, black and yellow skater shoes and a yellow muscle shirt. Hayner was next to Pence and wore his usual army pattern cargo pants with black combat boots. A khaki green jacket and black t-shirt with a white skull design completed the dirty blondes outfit. Pence was chatting with Hayner in his everyday loose fitting blue jeans with blue and white skater shoes. He had a bulky red and white jacket covering his entire upper body with his small head of black hair popping out. Olette was with them who wore white boots that went hallway up her calf with grey skinny jeans. Her jacket was white and was decorated with orange hibiscus flowers in contrast to her orange top with white hibiscus flowers. Her chocolate brown hair was tied in its usual braids with orange bows.
Axel towered over Larxene with one arm wrapped around her waist. The redhead wore a black leather coat similar to Roxas's with a red t-shirt decorated in flames. He wore black torn up jeans with ankle high red and white boots. He also wore a red scarf around his neck similar to the color of his flaming red hair. Larxene stood in high heeled yellow knee high boots but was still shorter than her boyfriend. Her black skinny jeans matched her black coat that covered her sleeveless yellow shirt. Zexion stood with a book in hand with his eyes absorbing every word. The slate haired teen wore a dark grey jacket, dark blue jeans and matching grey ankle high boots. Demyx was beside him while trying desperately to gain attention. The mullet haired boy wore a light gray coat with an aqua colored shirt. His light washed jeans and white and blue converse completed his outfit.
"Now that we're all here," Kairi smiled while clasping her hands together, "we need to pick shopping partners!"
Yet another tradition between my friends and I. Each year we would team up with someone to help hunt for presents. The best way to go would be with the opposite gender since not all girls hang out frequently with the boys and vise versa, but it wasn't mandatory.
"Rox, buddy!" Axel grinned, "Care to help me out?"
Larxene huffed in annoyance since her boyfriend completely ignored her, but he failed to notice, or at least failed to acknowledge it. Usually the couples would go together, but Axel and Larx's relationship just recently started, so Axel wasn't exactly having an easy time buying stuff for her.
"No way bro," he denied before wrapping an arm around my waist, "Nam's definitely my choice."
I blushed at least three shades of red as Roxas kneeled down slightly to my eye level with his signature puppy dog look, "Right Nam?"
That too was a sort of tradition between the two of us. We would always go with each other to shop for presents.
"Duh," I replied flatly and he grinned widely in response.
"Awesome," he cheered.
"No fair!" whined Kairi, "why do you always get Naminé?"
"Because she's so sexy," he smirked.
I knew he was kidding, as usual, so I did what I always did; I played along and grinned at Kairi, "Exactly."
"You're just jealous," he teased Kairi.
"Of course I'm envious that my boyfriend's brother thinks my best friends hot," she said sarcastically.
"Exactly," he mimicked me in a girly voice, "Well I guess we'll see you all later!"
Suddenly, he hoisted me onto his back in a piggyback before jogging away. I yelled at first because it was unexpected, but I eventually I laughed along with him.
"Rox-haha!-put me down!" I chortled.
"No way!" he laughed before arriving at the escalator.
He still wouldn't put me down, and I didn't exactly feel safe if he were to bring me down on those moving stairs, so I told him seriously, "I'm not kidding man, put me down."
"Of course you're not man, but I'm not putting you down," he grinned.
We were only a step away from the escalator when I resorted to begging," C'mon Roxie, I don't wanna die!"
He howled with laughter as my grip around his neck tightened, but he didn't respond. I never liked heights, so being on a guy a little taller than freaking five foot something wasn't exactly fun anymore. I panicked a little when he took a first step, and I immediately began pounding on his back with my small fists. His arms held my legs firmly to his sides, so I was still safe.
"Put-me-down!" I yelled in between each punch.
Unfortunately for me, Roxas was a really fit soccer player that had a lot of muscle. Not the kind that showed too much, but enough to say I would do little if not any harm to him.
"You're the one that's pounding my back: what if I drop you by accident?" he inquired.
I gasped as he quieted down and quickly muttered, "You wouldn't."
"It's not my fault if you make me lose my balance," he shrugged innocently but the crooked grin on his face said otherwise.
I grabbed his throat for dear life and buried my face in his back. I would not let go until we were off this infernal contraption. He laughed before I felt his legs moving again. I raised my head and noticed we were off the escalator standing a few feet away from Starbucks. I grinned: double chocolate frappuchinos with whipped cream and no coffee were awesome. (Yummy! 8D)
"Roxy~!" I mumbled into his ear, "can we go there~?"
I felt him stiffen and clutch my legs tighter and I figured it was because he wanted to go too. I also knew that he wasn't supposed to be eating chocolate. He's been addicted to it for years, and now he can't even hold his palm straight in front of him because his body shakes so much from the caffeine in the chocolate. (This is actually my problem, and I figured Rox should have it too~!)He looked away from the coffee shop, and I quickly grabbed his smooth chiselled chin in my hand and pulled it back to the direction of the store. He sighed before advancing to Starbucks, and I practically squealed in delight. He groaned because his ear was right next to me at the time, and I simply stuck my tongue out at him while resting my chin on his shoulder.
"It's your fault for putting me here," I pouted.
"It's your fault for loving chocolate so much," he retorted.
"It's your fault for being so whipped," I grinned when he didn't respond.
Roxas refused to put me down as we walked to the cash, and the lady behind the counter could only eye us questionably. I could already tell that Rox was using his obliviously happy expression when she asked us what we wanted to order. I answered smoothly as the ginger haired woman wrote down the order. I grabbed my wallet from my back pocket and handed her the money before Roxas moved us to the corner to pick up my drink. With a final odd look from the employee that handed me my drink, Roxas wandered out of the store. I sucked on the straw dangerously close to his ear, and I could tell it pissed him off.
"You know bad manners are a turn off," he grumbled.
"You know ignoring a girls wish to put her down is a turn off," I snapped.
"Not like I wanted to turn you on," he chuckled.
"Not like you could turn me on," I retorted impulsively.
"Is that a challenge?" he asked playfully.
"Just shut up and move," I mumbled.
I knew if he ever actually tried to turn me on, I would be epically screwed. He's already hot enough as it is: no need to show off. I prayed mentally that he would try anything as we advanced towards D Tox.

Author's Note: Sexy Roxas. How you tease us. X3
So I apologize for the lengthy outfit description, but I find when I read, when the outfits aren't described properly, I get frustrated cuz I can't picture em. I know it's a little over the top, but I just went with it. PS. The outfit Nam has is mine. XD The shoes mentioned were some I bought at the time and love very much. There so hawt~! 3 XD
This is my view on Christmas shopping in general, so it might not fit everyone's view. I'm also a procrastinator, so this also changes my view on shopping. Also the retarded nickname I gave Kairi was obviously dumb. I couldn't think of an insult for Rox to retort with. Overall I liked making those little fights. One in a future chapter was hilarious because I asked my sister for good comebacks. If you guys can guess which one she helped me with, high five and a virtual brownie for you. (cuz everyone hands out cookies) :3
I adore chocolate ice frappucinos (is that how you spell it?) with extra whipped cream and chocolate drizzle sooo much because they taste sooo good but they don't have any coffee in them. It's like my drug. :P I actually have an addiction to chocolate, and I've eaten it so often (don't worry, I'm not fat…yet) that the caffeine in the chocolate makes my hands shake when I stand still. My doctor told my parents to cut me off (of chocolate) but I ended up becoming a total whiny pain in the butt. :D So they gave up. C: Yay!
Now that I'm done being retarded, (actually I don't think it's possible for me to stop) I will end by saying the Namixas relationship in this story will be filled with sarcasm, witty comebacks, swear words and constant fights. This is how I picture them when Nam isn't a shy chikita. (A girl I mean) I will also apologize AGAIN for my absence and ask for any Valentine's Day story ideas. Because, yes, I plan to make one, I just don't know what the short story will be about. You guys should all have the right to punch me in the face or something because this is SO LATE. I can say I'll be uploading the chapters throughout the day, but I might not finish the ending yet. We'll see. .
Gracias mi amigos for your patience and awesomazingness (that cannot translate into Spanish XD)!
