So, I uploaded chapters 1-5 on the same day, so I'm sorry if any of your reviews havent quite taken affect, but I am listening!(:
Namine turned, her cheeks glistening from the sun on her tears. "Are you okay?"
"No- nothing," he stammered, running back to her. "The real question is are you okay?"
"I'm fine, but my parents are a totally different case." Namine had an aggravated expression fixed on her delicate face. "We're moving to Destiny Island the day after my birthday."
"Wow, harsh." Roxas laid his head in his large hand. Without looking up, he asked hesitantly, "Uhm, when is your birthday?"
Namine thought about the days passing by, and it suddenly occurred to her how close it all was. "Two weeks," she said dazedly.
Roxas was prepared to turn the conversation into a happier one, by maybe asking 'What do you want for your birthday?' Or perhaps, 'How old are you turning?', but his thoughts were interrupted by Namine gently tugging his hand and running towards the market.
"C'mon, let's lighten the mood!" Namine giggled. Her laugh, it was so sweet, like a baby chipmunk, it made Roxas' heart skip a beat. When he snapped back to reality, he realized they were standing by a sea-salt ice cream cart.
"Hello? Roxas? Anybody in there?" Namine was standing in front of the cart, waving her elegant fingers in front of his face? "Do you want any ice cream?"
All Roxas could do at the moment was nod his head slowly and agreeably until he could take in the situation. Before he knew it, he was being handed his favorite treat and was walking along the roads of Twilight Town.
"This is nice." Namine immediately regretted saying anything. She waited apprehensively for him to say something, anything. She thought she'd die if he didn't answer in the next two seconds.
She sighed with comfort when she finally heard him say, "You know, it really is." He stopped licking his ice cream to turn towards the young girl and their eyes met. An electric sensation filled the air surrounding them, making them feel as if they were in an entire new universe. As they leaned closer to each other, the couple heard their names called out.
Namine's cheeks flushed a bright cherry red as they turned to reveal Kairi and Sora approaching them, laughing and giggling cheerily. Kairi, as usual was the first to speak. When it came to her, words were always flowing from her like a water fall. But she was nice, and her sweet blue eyes were always aglow, especially when she was with Sora.
"Well, what is it we walked in on? Namine, I didn't know you knew Roxas?" Kairi raised her thin brows both curiously and suggestively somehow at the same time. She squeezed Sora's hand tight but lovingly and laid her head on his shoulder.
Namine had never gotten to meet Sora before. He didn't go to her private school, and Kairi had never introduced them, but she immediately recognized his eyes, even before his brown, gravity defiant hair. They were the same, perfect cerulean that Roxas' were. She wondered how they could have possibly been created twice.
"Uhm, we met a couple days ago, that's all." Namine's blush grew stronger; she could feel the heat creep from the apples of her cheeks to her nose and forehead. "Just two new friends walking around the street. You know? Just hangin' around." Namine caught herself rambling like she always did when she was nervous.
Roxas looked over at her. The way she got all flustered, and how she kept babbling. He was smitten, from the top of his golden spikes right down to the bottom of his worn sneakers. She noticed he was blushing, too, but not nearly as much as she was. He had sat silent for the entire time, and still couldn't come up with any excuse of his own, so he simply agreed with a, "Yup. That's right."
"Uh huh, sure, whatever you say." Kairi rolled her gleaming eyes and laughed at the two.
Namine rubbed her arm anxiously as her eyes darted from place to place. "Kairi, is this Sora? Weird I've never met him, right? And then I probably would have met Roxas then and this entire awkward encounter could have been completely avoided."
Sora placed his hand behind his brown, gelled up head, his cheeks reddening slightly. "That's me. And what would be the fun in that? Now we get to watch you two freak out." He winked cleverly as he pulled Kairi's hand towards him.
After what seemed like hours of just casual conversation, Kairi asked the question the couple was hoping wouldn't come up. "So, what were you two doing before we got here, Roxas?" Kairi knew full well Roxas was an absolutely horrible liar, so she made sure he would be the one answering.
"Uh, you know, nothing much." Roxas avoided all eye contact. "Just, uh, talking."
Sora was skeptical of his twin's answer, so he easily became more specific. "Then why were you two so close to each other?" His face was both triumphant and questioning.
Roxas opened his mouth to speak, but no words could come out. His mind raced, trying to come up with something. Eventually, he threw a glance to Namine indicating he needed rescuing.
"Well, you see, I had something in my eye, and Roxas was just helping me." Namine smiled, feeling proud and confident.
Kairi shook her head at her blonde friend, knowing her way too well. "Don't bull shit me."
"You know, I have to get up early tomorrow to pack, so, uhm, I'm going to go now." Namine began to walk away, but Kairi chased after her, leaving the boys by themselves to talk.
