Chapter 3
Originally, Kairi was going to make us all go shopping, again. But pretty much everyone else overruled her idea and so, under my request and the guys' agreement, we all decided to go to the local shooting range at Destiny Islands. Riku was kind enough to let us all borrow about six of his guns.
"Luna! Which gun are you using this time?" yells Theo. I put down the heavy rifle and turn to him.
"Marlin Bolt Action!" I yell back. He threw his hands up in the air.
"Again? I wanted to use that!" he yells. I stick out my tongue at him.
"Use the Winchester, then!" I sit back down and position myself correctly next to the gun. I adjust my sight, load the gun and take aim. The bulls-eye is directly in my sight. I put my index finger to the trigger. I hold my breath and fire. The gun jolts against my arm, but instead of feeling pain I feel comfort, as though the shooting range is home to me and that this is what I am meant to do. Not that the shooting range would have been my actual home.
"Bulls-eye!" I hear Sora shout. "Third in a row! Jeez, Luna, you're like a freaking assassin!"
I smile and give him a thumbs-up. I crank the gun, and the empty bullet shell falls out. "Here, Theo, you want it?" He nods and walks quickly over.
"What are you going to use next? Rifle or handgun?" he asks. I think I'll use a handgun, so I motion handgun to him. He nods and points to where Roxas is trying to help Namine shoot a handgun. I freeze. Luckily Theo is too busy fixing up the Marlin to his standards, and Sora is drinking from his Coke and talking to Kairi. Anybody who would spill the beans immediately is too occupied with other things to notice.
But Riku and Xion did. I can feel their hot gazes on my back and I whirl around to face them. I'm not facing them, I'm staring Riku in the face.
"He-hey," I say loudly. But it's only loud enough for Riku and Xion to hear, because we all have headphones on to protect our ears from the loud gunshots.
"Well, hello. Saw you staring at that happy couple over there." Riku jerks his head over to Roxas and Namine. I turn to see Namine fire the gun. She misses horribly, not even hitting the target. But Roxas beams at her and kisses her.
He kisses her.
I go absolutely rigid. I don't move until Riku puts a hand on my shoulder and snaps me out of it. Xion comes up next to me and sighs.
Meanwhile, a man observing the gun range (named Xigbar) has called a ceasefire so we can retrieve our targets and inspect the damage. I remove my headset, and feel rewarding air flow over my ears. Xion takes off her headset and smiles at me.
"Jealous?" she asks. I'm about to make a biting remark at her when I realize she's looking at me with a sad gaze.
"I-I-" I stutter. I'm at a loss for words.
"I know. I used to love him too. But he's all for Namine." Xion walks out into the range to retrieve her target. To avoid standing alone, I catch up to her to retrieve my target.
"You liked him? When?" I ask, as we walk to the targets. Hers is closest, and as we approach she sighs.
"Too long ago to remember. But I know I did. Well, I did hit the bulls-eye once," she says, half-heartedly lifting up the target and applying a new target to the post.
"Not everyone can do that; you were using a-"
"Handgun, yes. Hard to hit a bulls-eyes with one of them." Xion pats her target and we begin walking to mine. "Still, I can see that you like him."
"I don't really think I like him. I just wish we could spend some more time together, get to know each other." I'm trying to convince myself as I speak.
"Suit yourself; you can believe me or not." Xion stops at my target. "Wow. Luna, you did that?"
"What?" I walk up to her. Then I see my target.
There is only one bullet hole, even though I fired eight times. And it's on the bulls-eye, directly in the center. I can see why Xion would be shocked, but I'm not.
"My God, Luna, Sora was right!" Xion turns around to the other guys. "Guys! Come here and see This! Now!" She waves her hands in the air to show how urgent it is.
"Okay!" I hear Sora call. He, Kairi, Namine and Roxas all leave their places by the SUV we came here in and walk over to us. Riku and Theo walk up from Riku's target and meet us before the others. Theo sees the target first and slaps my shoulder.
"We've got ourselves an assassin here! Man, Luna, you're so good it's like you were trained to kill!" He grins and laughs.
"Please don't say that, Theo, I don't want people here to think I actually do kill for a living." I'm right to be cautious, because other people at the gun range are giving me strange looks.
"Well, be that way," he says. He leaves. Riku congratulates me and then walks away too. I'm not sure if that's all the reaction I'll get, but just then Roxas, Sora, Namine, and Kairi arrive. If I thought Theo's reaction was big, I didn't even think about how the others would react.
I hear Sora squeak out a "Woah" and then he falls silent, staring at the target, dumbfounded.
Kairi squeals and jumps about two feet in the air. "You're so good at shooting, you're so good~!" she cries, crushing me in another bear hug.
Namine is silent and then she drops to her knees and traces the target. I stiffen, but I let her examine my shots.
"Eight shots in a row, through the same bullet hole every time? That's unheard of," says Roxas, startling me out of my thoughts. I feel happy to be praised by him, and smile confidently.
"Thank y-"
"Now we have to get you to be able to do that, Nami!" Roxas says to Namine. He pulls her up from the ground, and embraces her. She giggles.
"I can't do that in a day!" she says. I flinch. So he has a pet name for her? And I'm just someone to be praised and then ignored?
"Well, thank you, guys. We need to get off the range now, the ceasefire's not going to last forever." I speak stiffly, and I think Sora notices. Kairi is too busy praising the target. And Xion wouldn't say anything even if she noticed. As I walk towards the gun area, I hear Sora come up next to me.
"Hey, Luna," he says. Then he lifts up his hands. "Great conversation starter, I know. Hey, is something up? You were kind of tense back there." So he did notice.
"Ah, i-it was nothing." But I haven't convinced him. So I figure it wouldn't hurt to tell him. "Okay, I think I might be a little jealous, you know that Roxas is spending all his time with Namine. I'd like to just be with him for a little and shoot together, but he's always with Namine."
Sora looks hurt. "Why him?"
"Oh, no reason," I say quickly. "It's just he's a bit more distant than you, so it would take more time together to get to know him." Then an idea pops into my head. "Sora, would you like to shoot with me?"
"Sure…but I've never really shot a gun before…" He blushes. "It's stupid, I know."
"No, it's not. I can teach you; here, we can use the Marlin." I make him sit down next to the Marlin gun. The ceasefire is called off, and everyone comes back to their gun posts.
"Wow." Sora caresses the gun with his hands. "It's so beautiful, but so dangerous…"
"Yes, it's part of why I love it. Here, let me load the gun for you, and then I'll show you how to shoot." I pick up a magazine, load it with bullets, and click it into place under the gun. "Apparently Theo used up the whole magazine last time," I say, sighing.
"Oh." Sora places his arm around the gun, his finger positioned on the trigger.
"No, that's not how you shoot. Like this." I lean over him and position the butt of the gun right up next to his shoulder. Then I move his hand to the correct spot over the trigger and help him aim. "Can you see through the scope? Sora? Sora?"
No answer. I look into his face. It's red. And now that I've realized it, I can't blame him. His face is positioned right near my breast, so it's now obvious as to why he's nervous. I back up and he bows his head.
"Oh, Sora, you're fine. I'm not going to assault you or anything." He nods, though he still seems nervous. "Can you see through the scope?"
"Y-yeah," he stutters. He leans his head against the gun, and I step back. "I'm aiming at this spare target next to yours…"
"Now aim at the center of the target, hold your breath, and shoot," I tell him. He does, and a couple of seconds later, the gun fires. Through the headphones, all I can hear is a very loud click. "Let me see how well you did." He moves and I take his place at the gun's side.
He did very well for his first try. "Your shot was several inches off the center, but that's good for a first try! At least you hit the target," I tell him, and he smiles proudly.
Around ten minutes later, Sora is starting to get the hang of the gun. He's firing closer and closer to the target's bulls-eye and he's really enjoying himself. Then, he makes three bulls-eyes.
When he makes the shots, he's not sure whether he hit it or not. But when I see his target, with a clean shot through the center, I leap up in joy and tackle Sora to the floor. Luckily Xigbar has just called another ceasefire so Sora can hear my words of praise.
I yank off my headset and take off his. "Sora, I'm so proud of you!" I cry out. "I can't believe you were able to do that in ten minutes!" I plant a kiss on his cheek out of sheer happiness. To see someone master a weapon so quickly is a big deal for me. I remember that as I shower him with more praises.
"What's going on over-" Roxas stops as he comes around the gun station. I'm in the middle of kissing his cheek. Crap. I get up and Sora does too.
"Sora hit the bulls-eye! Three times!" I explain breathlessly. I throw my arms around the younger Shimizu again. "I'm so proud of you, so proud~!" I say in a singsong voice. "You mastered a gun like that in a matter of minutes!"
I let go of Sora and turn to face Roxas. His face…he's the jealous one now.
"Roxas, would you like to shoot with me too?" I ask softly. Now that he's openly jealous I don't want to risk losing this chance.
"Sure," he says, his tone a bit cautious. "What gun will we be using?"
"Er, the handgun, I guess." I point to where a single handgun lies at a station, unloaded and unmanned. "Go get your target and show everyone else," I tell Sora. He winks at me and goes off to collect his target. I smile back and turn to Roxas.
"We'll wait for the ceasefire to end," says Roxas. I nod in agreement.
As we wait for the shooting to start again, I try to start up a conversation. "So…you're together with Namine, I hear..?"
"Yeah. We've been together since Sora broke up with her. Then he moved onto Kairi, but she dumped him twice as fast." Roxas sound indifferent. Is a relationship really that idle to him? "But Nami…she's perfect. She's sweet and caring and she's everything I could ever ask for."
That's when I know I'm jealous, for sure. I feel it boiling in the pit of my stomach, ready to explode at any time. But I don't feel hatred towards Namine; I feel hatred towards myself. How dare I be jealous of a girl who's happy?
Soon the ceasefire is called off, and Roxas and I walk over to the handgun station. I load the gun and hand it to Roxas. "Here. I know you can fire a gun, so let's see what you can do."
He fires three times before he lowers the gun. Click, click, click. He steps back to let me see. I peer down the range at his target, my exceptional eyesight making the target just readable. He hasn't hit the bulls-eye, or even the direct target, but he's hit the rim.
"We'll practice. I think that the way you're holding the gun is making you have a harder time aiming well." I bring him over to the handgun position and slowly begin to wrap my arms around him. "Hold it steady, like this-" I put my hands on his- "-and lift the gun up to here-" I lift his arms up to the correct position- "-and plant your feet firmly on the ground." I think he's blushing, and I'm suddenly embarrassed. I step back. "Now fire."
He fires, and when I look down the range, it's a clear bulls-eye. I'm proud of him, and I tell him as I come back to him. I don't dare kiss a taken man, though, even though I can see Roxas expects a kiss too. "Go tell Nami, she'll probably be happy for you" I say, my voice harsh, when I'm done praising him. He flinches, and I almost do too at my cold tone. But he walks away to tell Namine and I'm left staring at the handgun.
((Time is sped up. . . . . .))
When we return home, I'm reliving my time with Roxas over and over again. My mind is whirling, so when Sora asks me out to dinner, I don't hear him the first time.
"Sorry…I didn't catch that, Sora. Could you repeat that?" I ask sheepishly.
"Oh, um…w-would you like to come to dinner with me?" he asks again, bowing his head. I'm stunned. "It-it's to repay you, for teaching me how to shoot," he says quickly.
"Oh, yes, yes, I would love to go," I tell him. The whole time I can feel Roxas staring at the both of us, his gaze burning on the back of my skull. "Um, will anybody else be joining us?" I ask tentatively.
"N-no, just the two of us…" he says, trailing off. I turn red.
"Is the dinner going to be fancy or anything?" I question him.
"Yes, but if you'd like something else-"
"Oh, that's fine! I just…have to get ready!" I say my face turning redder. I run up the stairs and into my room.
The whole time I am getting ready for the dinner, my head keeps telling me, There's something up, there's something up. I ignore it.
When I walk down the stairs, it's not Sora waiting for me, it's Roxas. He's stunned by appearance, I can tell, because his gaze is fixed on me and only me. I blush but keep walking down.
"Look at you, Luna. You're magnificent," he tells me. I twirl to give him the full view of the outfit. I'm wearing a light purple top and a shimmery white shawl is draped over my shoulders. My knee-length black skirt fans out as I spin, and my black flats clack against the floor as I turn.
"Thanks, Roxas," I say, and he smiles widely. He comes closer to me and gently caresses my hair.
"Wow, Luna, your hair is amazing. And you look really good in that outfit, too. Were you a model or something?" He continues to play with my hair.
"No, I doubt it," I reply. His hands suddenly begin to caress my face, and an electric shock runs through me. I step away, and he realizes what he was doing.
"S-sorry," he says, avoiding my gaze. Just then Sora comes down from upstairs and saves me from having to reply. He's wearing a prep-shirt and black dress pants.
"Luna! You look gorgeous!" says Sora, and he embraces me. This doesn't make my head light like Roxas's touch did. What am I experiencing? "Ready to go?" asks Sora, snapping me away from my thoughts.
"Y-yeah. Let's go." I turn to Roxas. "See you later, Roxas, we'll be home soon." Then I am whisked out the door by Sora to a wonderful evening with him.
Roxas P.O.V.
Roxas waved half-heartedly at his brother and Luna as they waltzed out the door together. He felt glum and lonely. Part of him wanted to call Namine and invite her over while the two others were away. But as he reached for his cell phone, he thought of how Luna had helped him with his shooting earlier that day, and he forgot all about calling Namine. He recalled his feelings as he watched his brother leave with their new roommate, and he had felt lonely and…uncomfortable?
No. He hadn't been uncomfortable.
He had felt jealous.
He walked into the living room and threw himself onto the sofa. He was suddenly aware that he missed Luna. Somehow the house felt emptier since he was the only one in it.
"But I've been alone before, when Sora isn't home," he said aloud. So why was he lonely now? He turned over and faced the back of the couch. He ran his hands through his blond hair.
"Go tell Nami, she'll probably be happy for you."
Luna's tone had been harsh. He had felt injured when she spoke to him like that. He had wanted to be praised like she had praised Sora. His feelings felt similar. And then he recognized where he'd felt them before.
He'd felt like this when Sora had been in a relationship with Namine. When he had hidden his feelings for her until she was alone.
"Oh, God. I'm in love with Luna." The realization came as a shock to him. "But…I still like Namine…" He sat straight up.
Roxas loved two girls. Two completely different but amazing girls.
He clutched his head. "This is not happening…I'm already in a relationship!" He still did love Namine, he really did. But Luna was also special to him. How did this work out?
Now that his feelings were realized, Roxas took time to harbor some jealousy towards Sora, and how he got to have Luna to himself for a long time. Why did Sora get to have her all to himself? Why did Sora even ask her out to dinner? Why was it just the two of them alone out at dinner?
"Unless he likes her too," mused Roxas aloud. "But I like her…"
But you have Namine! called a voice in his head. And who are you to ruin your brother's happiness? You are the reason that happened, all those years ago.
The voice was right. Who was Roxas to ruin his brother's joy? And it wouldn't look right if the public knew he liked two girls. And it would look like he was cheating on Namine, too, even though everyone knew he loved her with his whole heart.
"Used to love her with your whole heart, Roxas, used to. Now you love Luna too," Roxas scolded himself. He decided that he wouldn't ever let her know that he loved her, unless Namine left him and Luna liked him back. Then he reached for his phone and dialed Namine's phone number, in an attempt to try and bury his new feelings.
((Time is sped up. . . . . .))
Luna P.O.V.
My dinner with Sora had been magnificent. We'd gone to an expensive restaurant and eaten delicious salads and meats and desserts. I thanked Sora the whole time we ate, even though he told me not to.
As we arrive at home, Sora opens the car door and helps me out. We walk in to the house, and Sora and I talk and smile the whole way. Then we walk into the living room, and I see Roxas lying there on the couch, asleep.
And lying next to him, also asleep, is Namine. The hand that is holding Sora's goes slack, and I begin to back out of the room. Then Roxas starts to wake up, and the sight of his deep blue eyes is too much to bear. I run out of the room, covering my face with my hands as I run into my bedroom.
"Luna? Luna! Luna!" Sora calls desperately, but I don't stop to heed his call. I keep running until I am in the safety and privacy of my own room, and I lock the door. I kick off my flats and hurl myself onto the bed. Tears are streaming from my eyes. I know why. I know why now.
I love Roxas. There is no question about it. Why did I ever deny it before? Why did I never guess that was why I was always so jealous of Namine?
Sora is banging on my door, begging me to let him in, to let him talk to me. I need comfort right now, and I don't think that this is a time to deny myself any given to me. I slowly get up from my bed and open the door, my face hidden. Sora stands there, hand raised to bang against the door another time.
"Luna!" he exclaims. Then he sees my face, wet with tears. "What's wrong? Did I do something? What happened?"
I'm too upset to use words. I fall into his chest and grip his shirt. I let out sobs now, and Sora pulls me into a hug. I hear the front door closing downstairs, and I guess that Namine has just left. Sure enough, Roxas runs up the stairs and sees me holding Sora in the doorway. I feel his hot gaze on me but I don't do anything about it. I'm too upset.
Why did he do that to me? a voice wails in my head. But I don't see how he could have done anything to me, if I never told him how I felt. This makes me cry even more, and I hear Sora tell me I need to go to sleep. Roxas comes to help me. I don't deny his assistance, but that doesn't mean I like it. He and Sora help into my bed, but I get up immediately and tell the twins I need to clean myself and then go to bed. So they leave, and I grab some things to change into after I take a shower.
As I turn on the shower in the guest bathroom, I see pictures of the twins and their friends on the counter around the sink. One is of Roxas kissing Namine; the frame around it reads Happy One-Month Anniversary! –from Kairi. I break down again; is it all a constant reminder of my feelings and how they can never be realized?
The shower is hot. I undress and step under the hot water. As I rub the dirt and dust out of my hair I'm still crying. My tears mix with the shower water, leaving me to wonder whether I'm still crying a ton or whether I'm starting to lose my tears. Someone knocks at the door. I say, "Come in."
"Luna?" That is Roxas's voice. I am suddenly more grateful for the thick shower curtain between us now. "I brought you a towel. Um, if you need more, then just call…"
"Th-thank you. Thank you, Roxas." It's hard to keep my voice steady. I hear him close the door behind him and I turn off the shower head. I open the shower curtain and step out. I get dressed in my night clothes and dry my hair. It refuses to lose some water and in the end I am wringing it so hard that if I tried any harder I would be tearing it off my head. I am able to squeeze a few bits of moisture out of my hair before I give up. So I take the towel with me as I walk across the hall to my room. Then I see the light on in Roxas's room and I walk towards his door.
His room is a creamy white, like the rest of the house, but everything else besides his carpet is black or white. There's a lamp on his dark, wooden desk, and he's reading by it. I knock on the wall outside his open door. "Roxas..?"
He turns to me. "Oh! Luna!" he says, closing his book. "Ready for bed?" I nod. "I'll come say good night to you in a minute; I have to put away this book."
"What are you reading?" I ask him. He looks startled and hides the book behind his back.
"I-it's nothing, just some random reading book for entertainment, you know," he says, though he sound uncomfortable. "See you in a few minutes." I leave, unsure what to think.
Sora's bedroom light isn't on. But mine is, so I check there before I think to look anywhere else. Sora is making my bed nicely for me, and as I walk in, I greet him with a "thank you".
"Luna, are you okay?" he asks me. The simple question almost brings back the tears. I nod.
"Just got a bit…emotional, is all," I lie.
"Emotional? Did you remember something?"
"Er, I…I…I did…" It's a lie. I just want to cover up my true feelings for Roxas, and Sora is definitely not someone I want knowing how I feel.
"You did? What was it? Or…is it too personal?" he adds, and I nod. So he doesn't ask any more. He just motions for me to go over to the bed. I do. "Come on now, you need to go to bed. Do you need me to tuck you in?" he asks.
"No, I'm a big girl," I answer playfully. I hug him before lying down on the bed. He draws the blankets over me and then lies down next to me. "Sora, will you stay with me tonight? I-I need the comfort…"
"Of course, Luna." Sora gets up and turns off the lights before lying back down next to me.
"Thank you…"
Just then Roxas comes in to say good night. He stops in the doorway. I close my eyes enough so he thinks I'm asleep, but enough so I can still see. His face is too dark to see, but I hear him ask Sora what he's doing.
"She wanted me to sleep with her for tonight," replies Sora. "I couldn't refuse, but I have some stuff I need to take care of. Would you mind staying with her instead?" I almost open my eyes wide in shock. But Roxas accepts, and there's nothing I can do about it now.
Sora gets up from the bed and Roxas lays down on it. All I can hear is my heartbeat, speeding up to sixty miles an hour. "Night Rox," says Sora, stopping at the doorway.
"Night, Sora," replies Roxas. He turns his attention to me, and I suddenly feel like a bug under a microscope. He seems unsure of what to do. He's fidgeting uncomfortably, and this makes me think that I'm making him feel uncomfortable. I turn away from him, to better hide the secret of my tears from him, since they're threatening to return.
Roxas wraps his arm around me, and I feel joy and elation and fear and sadness in one moment. It is in this gesture that I find the haven of sleep.
In the morning I wake up to hear someone tapping on the window. I open my eyes and find another face barely an inch from my own. Roxas is still asleep, but his arms are around me, so if I get up, he'll wake up too.
So instead I turn to face the window-and the tapping noise-and see Theo grinning evilly from outside. I'm so shocked I shoot right out of the bed, which wakes up Roxas. He grunts and then yawns, beginning to stretch.
"Morning, Luna. What is that?" he says, seeing Theo outside. I laugh and smile, which feels weird because I've been crying so much.
"That is Theo. He's probably here to wake me up." I get up and out of bed and open the window. "Morning, Theo. What are you, a monkey? It's like seven-"I turn to my alarm clock-"and you're already as energized as one."
"Well, if that's the case, then you must be some kind of monkey too. I don't think regular human beings get up this early on a weekend." I pinch his nose. "Hey! Be careful! I'm two stories up!"
"Well, if you're a monkey you can save yourself," I retort. I sit on the window ledge. "Why'd you come visit me so early?"
"Sora came by last night to work on his recording plans with Riku; Riku has been the twins' recording agent since they moved out here. And when I asked about you, he said you'd been crying since the two of you had come home from dinner. It wasn't by any chance one of the twins' fault, was it?" he asks me, his voice hardening.
"No! Not at all, not at all. I'm totally happy here, you know," I answer quickly, trying to throw him off the trail of my feelings. "Um, does Riku know you're here?" I ask.
"Yup, he's downstairs. Today he's going with Sora to the studio they work at to fix up some financial issues. I'm going too, just for fun. But," he adds, "I think that Riku is having a bit of trouble waking Sora up."
"I'll get him," I say. "You can go down to solid ground and not risk your life. Like a good boy." I fold my arms and then close the window.
"I guess I'm staying home today, then," says Roxas, and I jump. I totally forgot he was in the room. "You going to go for a girls' day out with Nami and the others?"
I flinch, wondering if he used Namine's pet name on purpose. "I don't know their plans yet. I-I have to go wake up Sora." I run out of the room, leaving the door open behind me.
Sora's room door is left slightly open. I push it open and step inside. "Sora?" I call. I see a bundle of blankets move in the corner of his room, and I locate my target. "Sora, Riku's waiting for you downstairs. Come on Sora, you need to get going!" He grumbles in reply and I see a pillow clamp over what must be his head. I laugh and run to his bed.
"Five more minutes," is what his muffled reply is.
"I don't agree," I say, grinning. I jump on his bed. "Come on, Sora! Or I'm seriously going to jump on you!" I jump around to prove my point.
"Alright, fine, I'll get up," he mumbles. He sits up and I fall down onto the bed, laughing. His spiky hair is all matted and unkempt. He runs his hand through his hair like it's something special and I laugh more. Then a flash of light overtakes my vision. Roxas opens the door to Sora's room and turns on the lights. He's caught me sitting on Sora's bed, smiling and laughing. I stop doing anything and stare at him. Roxas swallows, like he's just eaten something bitter.
"Riku's still waiting for you, Sora," he says stiffly. I move so Sora can get up and leave. Is it just me, or do I keep messing up all my chances with Roxas?
"See you later Sora," I say, forcing a sweet smile at the younger twin. I stand up and walk out, and am surprisingly escorted by Roxas down the stairs. I don't say anything as we walk. Neither does he. As I make my way to the bottom, I resolve one thing.
That as long as I can keep it under my tongue, nobody will know that I love Roxas. Secrets. They're so terrible at times.
End of Chapter 3
Le: I am not a RokuNami fan. (Roxas x Namine) Sorry for those of you who hate it too, but I needed something to stir up jealousy in Luna. Just wanted to be clear on that.
