ICU: Chapter 2
"Naminé!" You sit yourself up and turn onto your knees to greet the girl. Wow you think she's beautiful. Even when she's not directly in front of the sun, it still manages to do a stunning job of accenting her in wonderful ways. You love everything about this girl, her deep deep blue eyes; you always seem to get lost in them so you try not to make much eye contact. Her pale skin with just the slightest hint of a tan, the small hairs on her arms tinged with blondish brown. The way she dresses in those white sun dresses all the time, she seems so innocent and pure. Her stunning smile makes your heart skip a beat and her voice is so pleasing to hear. Even the way she intertwines her hands behind her back when she's walking, yes, there isn't a single thing about her that you aren't fond of.
You almost swoon, fawning over her before the sound of her voice catches you. "You've been sleeping on the beach again haven't you? Sora, I told you that it's not healthy to sleep out here all the time!" She giggles, "You should try sleeping in your own bed from time to time, they always say there's no place like home~"
You stand up and stretch now reaching a height just an inch or two above her. You feel the muscles in your body sighing from the sweet release of tension, and suddenly you're yawning. You slump over and she laughs, covering part of her smile with her hand. "Maybe you wouldn't be so tired if you didn't stay up all day and night making out with the beach!"
You laugh too and then ask what she had planned to do today. She replies, "Oh me and Selphie had planned to go out to the woodsy part of the island today and try catching some specimens for me to draw! Wanna come with?" She extends her hand towards you and you can feel a blush coming on. "S-sure! Just let me go and get changed first." "Okay!" She replies, "Meet us towards the town entrance in an hour."
You nod your head and begin to head back before she grabs hold of your hand. Your heart begins to race. You try to turn around, but she won't let you so you ask, "U-uhm, w-what is it?" "Hold still" she demands, you fall complacent. "You've got a bunch of sand in your hair and...is that a hermit crab?" You panic, "What? No! Get it out!" She gently kicks you in the back of your leg, "I said hold still!" You can feel her reaching into the layers of your hair and grabbing something.
She slowly begins to pull, and you can feel your scalp tighten. "Ah, it's grabbing my hair!" "Just relax, I'll get it to let go." You feel a faint thump or two and suddenly your hair is released.
She winces and lets out a small yelp and you turn around to find that the hermit crab now has his claw griped tightly around her finger. "Try not to tense up or move your finger Naminé." You walk up to the hermit hanging from her finger and gently blow behind its eye stocks and before long it lets go and falls back into the sand, burying itself into the dunes. "Oh, your finger-"
Blood drips down from her finger and down to her forearm and into the sand. The dark red is such a complimenting shade against her pale skin and honestly you're slightly aroused. You take her finger and press its soft skin past your lips and into your mouth.
You look up to see her face is flushed red and she's avoiding eye contact. You suck and begin to lick around her finger and she lets out a cute sound, "A-ah, Sora~" This makes your heart pound. You release her finger from your mouth and speak. "There, that should keep it from bleeding too much before we can get you disinfected and bandaged. Come on, I'll fix you up and my place" She nods her head and your grab her other hand, leading her back to your house.
You lead her to the bathroom and sit her on the side of the bathtub while you go to the cabinet to find your first-aid supplies. You look around and spot the disinfectant and some bandages, take them out and close the cabinet lightly. There's a mirror on the outside and you can see her sitting on the bathtub. She's just looking at her finger, you start to gaze. She hesitantly lifts the injured finger up and places it in her mouth. Your heart once again begins to race as you wonder what could possibly be on her mind. You avert your attention from the mirror and say, "Found them!" You slowly turn around and see that she's back to sitting there looking at you, her finger back cupped in her hand. You walk over and take a knee. You grab her hand as gently as possible and move it away from her body before you spray the disinfectant on her finger. You can feel her muscles tense and you ask if it hurts. She shakes her head and smiles at you. You quickly place the bandage on her finger and stand up. "There, all better!" She smiles again with that bright and happy smile that you love so much and you both walk out of the bathroom and to the front door.
She walks out and you stand in the door frame. "Don't forget!" She says. "We're meeting at the town entrance in an hour! Oh, you should bring a net too!" You smile and assure her that you will. She waves as she steps down the stairs in your yard, past the gate and out of sight. You sigh and close the door before heading up to your room. "Haaaah, now where's that net?"
