A/N: Enjoy! The first drabble takes place one day later. Oh, and Aqua's slightly older than she was in BBS.


2. Shy

~ The Bluenette and Brunette ~

Leon was the most mature guy she had ever seen. Thoughtful, sensible, and with a good sense of (dry) humor. Too bad he hadn't talked that much, though.

At first, she had thought he was a little shy (which would've been kinda cute), but soon, she learned that he just didn't like talking that much to strangers. And in the end, Aqua had been the one who became all shy around him. She had been doing the clumsiest things, had said the stupidest things, struggling to find the right words (to form coherent words) to say, like a lovestruck school girl in some cliched movie.

Aqua didn't quite remember when she had felt butterflies in her stomach for the last time, but it felt great to have them back again.

The loud ringing of her mobile phone interrupted Aqua's train of thoughts. The display said that the caller was… Leon?


~ The Spikes and the Blonde ~

"Vanitas tore your drawing into pieces? What a jerk!"

Naminé and Ven were sitting in the most popular coffee shop of Radiant Garden.

The blonde girl saw how a pretty, blue-haired woman stepped inside: Aqua, her guardian. Naminé wondered what she was doing here.

Before she got an answer to that question, Ven said, "I know what your problem is."

Naminé looked at him again.

"I don't have a problem."

"No…maybe 'problem' isn't the right word… The main obstacle to achieve your goal is your shyness. You don't let people in that easily, huh?"

A faint blush colored the girl's cheeks, and she averted her gaze. It was needless to say that Ven was right.

"That's what I thought… Hey, let's make a deal. I'll help you to open up more to people, and in return…we become friends. Deal?" Ven asked.

That was all? Nothing else?

Eventually Naminé nodded.

"Deal."


A/N: Hope you liked it. A review makes my day. :)
