Last Dance
NaminéandRoxas
...Alternate Universe
Anyone who was told they only have a week left to live would go into despair. I was no different.
Ever since then I was never myself. When someone tells you, you are going to die, your life ends right when they say so. Then you realize all the things you dreamed of doing, you will never get the chance to do. And all those wonderful people you know, you won't see until it's their time, yet you wish it could never be their time. You just wish you could live in paradise when there's no illness or pain or suffering. Just…
bliss.
And it was bliss when I saw him.
It was during my nightly performance at the tea house that he caught my attention, with his unique hairstyle and cerulean eyes boring into me, watching me and my every movement, flicking my wrist, spinning my fan, and floating in my kimono.
I couldn't always look directly at him for my dance causes me to look in various directions but I'll forever cherish when we first met.
…
"Excuse me," it was the cerulean-eyed boy, "your dancing was…magnificent."
. . m a g n i f i c e n t . .
"Oh, thank you." I replied with a smile.
"I'm Roxas," he stuck out a hand eager for me to place mine in his.
"I'm Naminé," and I replied to his gesture by giving him my hand, which compared to his, was quite pale. Even more than usual. I was too caught up in thinking how pale I was that I did not notice him bring my hand to his lips. Only when I felt sensational warmth on the surface of my hand did I notice what he was doing.
Usually I would blush five shades of red but I was too weary, and it was just a simple kiss on my hand. Nothing more.
"I hope to see you again…and your wonderful dancing," he said, still holding my hand.
I could only smile at him and my hand became numb as he left.
…
"Naminé?" I turned to see Kairi, owner of the tea house, "Are you alright?"
It's been three days since I last saw the cerulean-eyed boy and since those three days he's been following me…constantly, in my dreams. My memory must be faltering…I cannot remember his name…
"I'm R –"
I believe it's for the best however. "I'm fine, Kairi."
Concern was evident in her bright blue eyes, concern for me.
"Are you sure? I mean, you look kind of pale…and your eyes…you don't have to perform tonight. I can get Yuffie to do it."
"No, no, I'm just fine. A little tired, that's all."
I had been lying to everyone this past week, lying about how I was, lying about my happiness, and lying about my illness. No one but the doctor knew of my illness that would soon destroy me.
"…Alright. Get ready in ten."
…
An odd sensation was welling up inside me. I was still very tired but something told me that I needed to dance, just this once. It could very well…be my last.
I took my place on stage before the customers and in the midst I saw him.
I caught his eyes and he smiled, a smile that made my knees grow weak but I could notlet that stop me. I then decided that this dance would be for him and only him.
"Your dancing was…magnificent."
The song began and I felt myself fill with sorrow, felt it running through my veins. It felt like it was weighing me down but somehow it made my dance feel so much more emotional. Made it worth so much more.
Slowly I walked up to the edge of the stage and I caught his eyes again. I flicked my fan in a way so that it opened quickly covering the bottom half of my face so all you could see were my crystalline blue eyes...and I gave him my all.
