The story behind the Charm Bracelet.
Promise
"Come on, you're so slow!" The blonde haired girl giggled before running up the hill.
"Naminé, be careful, please!" her companion said, following at a slower pace.
"I'm fine Roxas. Now hurry!"
"The swings will still be there you know." The girl didn't answer. She had reatched the swings, and was already sitting on them when her friend got to the top.
They came to this spot often. It was at the Drive-In at the edge of town. The hill with the swings at the top had the best view of the giant movie screen.
"May, I got you something," Roxas said, sitting on the swing beside her.
"Really?" Naminé's eyes filled with excitement. "What?"
"Close your eyes."
"Why?"
"Because I said." Naminé pouted but complied all the same.
She heard a small jingle before something cold was placed into her hand. She opened her eyes to see a silver bracelet with a yellow Paopu fruit charm attached to it. She held it up to her eyes to look at it better. Up close, she saw the star shaped charm sparkled slightly in the light.
"Pretty…" she whispered.
"It's a charm bracelet. Every time your birthday comes I'll give you a new charm." she looked up to see her friend smiling.
"Thank you Roku," She said. "I love it so much."
"Really?"
"Yup. Help me put it on." she held out her right arm, letting him clasp it around her fragile looking wrist.
After that they swung on the swings for a good hour before deciding to go home before their parents started to worry.
"Hey Roxas," Naminé said quietly. "You'll…You'll always be there for me? Right?"
"Of course. I'll never leave you."
"Promise?"
"Yeah. And if I do, I promise I will make it up to you."
"Really?"
"Yeah," Roxas held out his hand, his pinky sticking out. Namine smiled, wrapping hers around it.
"Promise."
