Chapter 3: Naminé's Sketch Pad of Life

X.X.X.X.X.X

Oh hello, may I ask what you're in my mind for?

Well, if you don't have an answer for me, then please excuse me.

Sketch.

Sketch.

Sketch.

All right, I'm done.

It's a picture of a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes, one side of his face is covered with a mess of blonde bangs that eventually lead upwards as it goes to the right of his head.

Blush

I-it's NOT what you think…

The only reason I drew Kaze Roxas was the fact that I figured he would be a good subject… really….

"Naminé!!"

Oh, I never introduced myself, have I?

My name is Naminé Umino; I'm a freshman at Destiny Islands High School while my older brother, Riku, is a senior. Although mom and dad are often at work and usually only home at important times, Riku mostly takes care of me. As I handle cooking and cleaning, Riku does laundry and any tough jobs.

"NAMINÉ!!"

I have blonde hair that almost goes to my elbows and deep blue eyes, almost aqua, which my family is known for. We Umino's are also known for our pale skin, yet while I have father's kind attitude and warm heart, Riku has mother's brash actions and language problems. (Such as cussing and such)

I've done very well in all my classes, except for math. Math has brought my A average down to an A average and one B. I feel like I committed a sin. (Tke: …damn…)

Which is why I have Sora-senpai.

Sora-senpai is really popular and kind, anyone that dates him is very lucky.

"NAMINÉ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Which brings me to my brother, Riku.

Riku slammed open my bedroom door, his breath heavy and labored, cheeks tinted with red and the biggest smile on his face.

Why does it bring me to my brother, you ask?

"Sora and I went to see a movie!! We saw Silent Hill and OH MY GOD!! He was holding my HAND!! A-and then… we went out to eat at a Japanese restaurant and he ordered for us and he practically FED me because I couldn't use chopsticks!!!"

My brother, Riku Umino, had the biggest crush on Sora-senpai ever.

I was used to this, however, since he'd been crushing on Sora-senpai ever since around the seventh grade. "When did you two go out?"

He flashed me a smile, "Today, I just got back!!"

"A date?"

"No! We went out… as… friends…" He stood still, eyes downcast, as he linked his hands and fingers behind his back, "But he's NOTICING me now!!"

I had to smile; I knew everything that went on. Riku had quickly run back to his room, humming Passion, and I couldn't help but get the urge to giggle.

I knew Sora-senpai had a crush on Riku, he'd seen a picture one time when he came over to my house to study. Riku'd gone out with friends, saying he had no interests in meeting my senpai, and Sora-senpai's eyes wouldn't stop trailing to Riku's picture.

I'd question him about it, naturally. He'd just blushed, spluttered and went back to answering my math question. It was obvious.

And funny.

But what Riku didn't know, tomorrow morning at seven AM, Sora-senpai would be coming over, to help me with my drawing assignment. I asked Riku to do it, however Riku said he didn't want to sit half naked with someone just for me to draw them. However, not only Sora-senpai, but Riku and my cousin, Axel-kun. I just couldn't wait for Riku to see Axel-kun and Sora-senpai together.

Just wait Riku.

This is pay back for taking my picture book and throwing it in your room and keeping it.

But I must admit.

Those tantalizing pictures I drew of you and Sora help, don't they?

(Please hold as we insert evil Naminé laughter here)

X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X

By six fifteen I was ready, I told Sora to come at least by seven thirty since Axel had a habit of showing up late and not really caring. Suddenly I heard the doorbell ring, Sora-senpai was early, but not that I minded.

"Ri-nii? Can you get the door for me???" Riku told me that nii meant older brother in Japanese, so I took his name and combined it. Ri-nii. Cute no?

I'd seen Riku walk by my room with only a towel on; he'd obviously been drying his hair just out of the shower.

Riku normally opened the door like this, anyone who ever stopped by were neighbors that had helped raise Riku and me as kids, so why would Riku imagine something new was behind the door?

This would be fun.

I waited.

Footsteps down the stairs.

Footsteps across the titled kitchen floor

The front door knob twisting and our squeaky hinge slowly opening as the door itself let out a squeak of pain to show it needed to be replaced.

Riku's loud voice echoed, "What can I do for-…"

Silence.

"SORA?!?!?!??!"

"Ahhh…" I could just imagine Sora-senpai's dark red face and Riku's whole body flushed.

Scuffling, Riku obviously grabbing his jean jacket from the closet and wrapping it around his body, "S-S-Sora… w-why are you here…?" Ri-nii squeaks… interesting… they're now on first name bases? That's pretty quick for Ri-nii.

"Naminé… I'd promised… I'd help her with her art project today…"

"NAMINÉ!?!?!"

I quickly raced down the stairs to meet them at the door, "Y-you're here!"

Sora-senpai gave me a little all-knowing grin, "Sorry, if I'm a little early."

I quickly shook my head, smiling widely to him, "Not at all, I'm ready."

"W-wait a second!!" Riku jumped in, obviously wanting to be part of the conversation. "When was THIS decided??"

I quickly turned to him, acting ever so innocent, "I told you about this a long time ago."

"B-b-but…"

I offered a grin to my brother, smiling and pointing to Sora-senpai, "Riku, this is my senpai, Kaze Sora. My ONLY senpai that promised to help with my ART project… the ONLY senpai I ever had and you did not want to MEET."

Riku was gaping, "S-so…"

Yes Riku, my eyes were obviously telling him by the look in his eyes, Sora is going to be half-naked for my art project, "So you may go now, I understand you need to meet your friends soon?"

"Um… Naminé…" Sora coughed quickly and I turned to him, "Um… my brother's friend lives around here… he's over there now… I was wondering if he could come by when he's finished?"

I guess I looked startled or something… Roxas-san was coming over…? I could feel the obvious heat making it's way to my face, "S-sure… it's no… problem…"

Riku had ended up staying a little longer before Sora suggested Riku should go find his girlfriend, Riku dumbly nodded like a doll. When Sora wasn't looking he'd hit his face into the wall… jeez… some brother….

Axel had come over and he and Sora began to chat happily, they really got along well. I'd gotten half way through my art project when it happened.

Roxas-san came.

He wore blue jeans with red trimming, a black sleeveless hoodie, a Silver Star pendant around his neck, black boots, and a black-and-white checkered wrist band.

He looked good.

Axel and Sora had gone into another room to change into outfits Kairi had made for me. Kairi was like an older sister to me, she was really great.

I swear to god, I saw Riku slip back into the house and sit on the couch.

"Ri-nii, back so soon?" I questioned.

"Just going to mall and sitting, no fun… art project seemed interesting." He shrugged.

Roxas-san just raised an eyebrow at him.

I just gave a knowing smile.

Soon after, Sora and Axel appeared, Axel kept mentioning that Sora had such a complex costume that he had to dress Sora.

I was watching Ri-nii's fists clench and unclench and Sora-san just blushing madly.

Sora-san wore a simply vest that had complex buttons criss-crossing ribbons of fabric through them; the back was tied with ribbons and knotted into a small bow at the end of it. It was pure black, the ribbons a dark blood red brimmed with a dark blue. The shorts were of black leather and clung to Sora-san's legs like a second skin, they barely reached mid-thigh.

Axel-kun was wearing a simple black leather vest that stopped at the top of his stomach, a sleeveless fishnet shirt underneath, and a small see-through black tang top under that. His pants almost looked like they were hanging onto him by a stitch of thread, they looked as if he would move and the thread would break, allowing himself to be seen.

Axel-kun licked his lips as his eyes grazed over Roxas-san, "You're cute."

"Straight." Roxas-san answered, he pointed to Sora-san, "That's the gay one."

Axel-kun turned to Sora-san, pulling Sora-san's back to his chest with an arm wrapped around his waist, Sora-san had begun to squeak and Riku glared, "So cute, and gay, and edible." Did I forget to mention I told Axel about Ri-nii and Sora-san?

Ri-nii looked ready to kill our cousin.

"Axel—!!" Ri-nii began to hiss, glaring.

Axel-kun just shrugged, lightly kissing the top of Sora-san's ear before whispering in it, "I bet he likes this kinda thing… ne… S-o-r-a-chan…?"

Sora-san had squeaked again, moving to the closest piece of furniture, the chair/couch, and hiding behind it.

Axel-kun began to chuckle and Ri-nii nearly was choking our cousin.

"If you two can pose, please." I asked, not really caring about the pose.

Axel-kun simply got into the chair and somehow flipped Sora-san over so that he was laying on Axel-kun's left side of the body and one leg was between Axel-kun's left leg and the chair arm rest and the other was on the chair's opposite arm rest, where Axel-kun had placed his had on Sora-san's thigh.

Sora-san had let out a small squeak again, the finger was running up his thigh, since he was pretty much sitting, his thigh was closest to his area

This was so much fun, I'm glad I got to draw it.

I glanced to see Roxas-san just rolling in laughter.

Ri-nii, on the other hand, looked as if he would get up and strangle our cousin at any given moment.

Love our family?

X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X

Tke: wow, that was fun to write.

Riku: what kind of class didn't Naminé need THOSE kinds of poses for?

Tke: smile human anatomy, how flexible IS the body…?

Riku: flushed, begins to glare, and starts to cuss

Tke: reviewers get plushies of Sora and Axel in their outfits!!
