Babble: This is just a quick drabble inspired by
Namine's theme.

Namine was dying. She was young and she was dying. The doctors didn't even know exactly what was happening to her.
It seemed as if she was just fading away slowly.
Roxas, her only friend, cried when she told him. There was nothing to be done for her and he didn't think someone as beautiful as her should have to live the remainder of their days in a place so cold and white. After much begging he managed to convince the doctors to let her leave for a week.
They went to her sea side cottage. Namine loved this place, it was where she would come to paint when she felt lonely. The bright sea of flowers that separated the cottage from the ocean would never cease to cheer her up, no matter how down she was. Unfortunately the same could not be said for Roxas.
She would wake up to Roxas preparing tea with mint and honey, and making strawberry jam with toast. Once he was done he would carry it out on a tray and they would walk to the two arm chairs and table set out in the middle of the sea of flowers.
She would smile at him while sipping her tea, not taking a single bite of the jam and toast, and he would force a smile back, stirring his tea and only nibbling on his toast. And then Namine would pull out her notebook and begin sketching while humming a light, lazy ,and somewhat nostalgic tune.
On the third day of this she spoke up in the middle of her drawing.
"I feel old, Roxas."
Roxas looked up quickly then replied:
"Old? What do you mean Namine? Your only seventeen."
"Yes, but Roxas, I'm going to die soon," She paused to take a deep breath,
"And nothing ages someone more than losing all hope."
Roxas was almost in tears at this point.
"The doctors could be wrong Nami, you could have plenty of time left."
Namine shook her head.
"No. They're right. I'm can feel it, feel that I will die soon. Very soon."
"No Namine. Your not. Y-you can't!"
"I'm sorry Roxas."
Namine then smiled and showed Roxas the picture she had been drawing.
It was of them. Sitting in the chairs the were in now with a table covered by a tea tray in between them, surrounded by thousands of flowers and the cottage in the background.
Everything was in beautiful color and detail, all except the little Namine in her chair who's coloring was duller and her lines blurrier as if she wasn't entirely there.
"It's a beautiful picture." Roxas whispered. Namine sunk back in her chair and took in everything around her.
"Well this is a beautiful place. I'm glad it will be the last I see."
Roxas took her hand in his.
"Yeah. Me too."
Babble: I hope this didn't suck too much. I really enjoyed writing it.
Oh and if your wondering the song I pictured Namine humming while drawing was Lazy Afternoon (The Twilight Town theme)
