A/N: I kept my promise! I updated! Yay! Thanks so much to everyone who has reviewed! Aw, one chapter left! It's almost confession time! :D Well, I hope you enjoy this chapter! Disclaimer: I don't own KH! D:


"And exactly where were you last night?" Cloud asked, a frown on his face. Naminé fidgeted under his stare.

"Dad, I already told you. I was at Sora's house-studying for today's test." She replied, even though she knew it was useless. Naminé was in a very bad predicament.

That morning, when she had woken up, she found herself wrapped in Sora's arms, both on the floor of his room. She remembered blushing furiously before decided to go back to sleep. Besides, she really didn't want to wake Sora up, who looked so innocent as the morning sunlight softly caressed his face. Naminé had barely closed her eyes when they snapped back open. She quickly stood up, dragging Sora with her until he released his grip on her and fell back down.

"Oww. What was that for?" Sora had asked as Naminé paced around the room, picking up her backpack and textbooks.

Naminé stopped and turned him, pointing at her French textbook. "Ring a bell?" She asked. Sora stared at the book and slowly put two and two together. The look on his face was priceless, a look of sheer horror.

"WHAT?! That's TODAY?! AHH, I'm so gonna FAIL! I haven't studied at all!"

Naminé clamped her hand over his mouth, "Calm down! We'll do some last minute cramming later. Besides, I think we have other things to worry about."

Sora pried her hand from his mouth, "What could be worse?"

She took a breath, "My dad..." Sora raised an eyebrow. "Think about it. I stayed here all night, alone with you. I didn't get a chance to tell them that I was staying over. They must be worried..."

"Yeah, worried about you!" Sora exclaimed, "But your dad's gonna kill me! He doesn't trust me, let alone with his daughter!"

Naminé managed a small smiled. "No need to worry! By chance, maybe, my parents are still asleep. We can sneak in, I'll change, and we can head to school."

But who knew fate hated them so much? When they arrived at Naminé's house, Cloud and Aerith were there, waiting to greet them. Which brings us to now, Naminé getting the 3rd degree from her father while Sora hid behind her.

"Yes, Naminé. You said you were going to study, not stay the night!" Cloud said, his eyes flicking from Naminé to Sora.

Fortunately, Aerith decided to step in. "Cloud, calm down! All that matters is that Naminé is back and safe. Besides, with that storm last night, it would have been dangerous if any one of us went out. Naminé did the right thing staying at Sora's house until the storm ended. And I'm sure Sora made sure nothing happened to her, right?"

Sora looked up at her and smiled, "Yep! I made a promise to protect Nami, no matter what!"

Cloud folded his arms across his chest. "Hn. Fine. Now, Naminé, hurry and get ready for school." Naminé nodded and ran upstairs, leaving Sora alone and unprotected.

Sora chuckled nervously. "U-um, M-Mr. and Mrs. S-strife, T-there's something I w-want to tell you." He stuttered.

Aerith smiled, "Go ahead, Sora."

Sora took a deep breath, Well, it's now or never, "It's about Naminé..."

-Upstairs-

Naminé went to her closet and pulled out a fresh, clean, new uniform. She walked into her bedroom bathroom and glanced at the mirror. Her face was flushed. Well I did a lot of blushing today, especially this morning.. Naminé's thought drifted off to when she woke up. The feeling of Sora's arms around her made her feel safe and warm. She wanted to experience that feeling everyday. And how Sora looked when the sunlight hit him, so childish and serene. Naminé could feel her face heating up again.

"Err, I gotta stop doing that!" She exclaimed as she ran her hand under the water and splashed it on her face. She quickly changed and fixed her hair. When she was ready she headed downstairs.

-Meanwhile Downstairs-

Aerith and Cloud couldn't believe what Sora had just told them. Aerith could hardly contain her excitement, she let out a squeal and hugged Sora in a death grip.

"Ahh! I'm so happy I could cry!" Aerith exclaimed as she let Sora go.

Sora looked up hopefully, "So, is that a yes?"

Aerith smiled widely and nodded happily, "Yes, of course!" Sora smiled back and slowly turned to Cloud. He expected to see him red from anger but instead, Cloud was smiling! Well, a smirk...close enough!

"I knew this was coming sooner or later. I would've preferred later, but I can see this will make you both happy. Sora, you have my permission, but! You have to promise me you'll do everything you can to make her happy and never, ever, hurt her." Cloud explained.

Sora nodded, "Of course, I'll try my very best!"

"Your best at what?" Naminé asked as she entered the room.

"Sora told me that he had his French test today. I just wished him luck and told him to do his best." Aerith made something up. She said this with a straight face, but inside she couldn't stop smiling. She turned to Sora and gave him a wink.

"Oh. Okay. Well, we better get going." Naminé said, heading for the door.

"Bye honey! I hope you have a very, very, great day today!" Aerith said to her daughter as she suppressed a smirk.

"Uh, okay, thanks.." Naminé replied, a little weirded out by her parents behavior.

-Third Period- Math-

Sora was literally panicking. Next period, French class! He had skipped his math assignment to do some last minute cramming like Naminé suggested.

Naminé looked up from her assignment, "I'm sorry." She mouthed since they weren't allowed to talk.

Sora smiled "It's okay. I'd probably fail anyway." He whispered back.

Still, Naminé couldn't help but feel guilty. She had let her feelings get the best of her and it got in the way of her goal for that day, making sure Sora passed his test. She sighed and went back to work. Soon, the bell rang, Forth period was about to begin.

-Fourth Period-French

"Okay class. I hope you all studied and are ready for the test! Now, when you're testing, make sure there is no wondering eyes and make sure that it's quiet." Ms. Rae said as she passed the test papers. "Now, do your best!"

Naminé looked at Sora and whispered, "Good luck!"

"Thanks, I'll need it!" He said back.

Sora then scanned his test and he instantly groaned. He didn't understand any of it, expect the NAME part. He turned his page over and looked at the last question. A wide smile danced on his lips. He might failed his test but at least he'll get ONE question right. He quickly jolted down the answer, he knew the answer to that question by heart.

-Eighth Period-Study hall with Ms. Rae-

It was the last period of the day, so Ms. Rae made it free time for the students. Naminé had spent the whole period apologizing to Sora. "And I'm sorry, I didn't mean to distract you from your studying time." She said as she bowed her head.

Sora lifted her chin, "Don't worry Naminé. I don't blame you. It was my fault because I should have been studying ever since I got the class, I knew it wasn't going to be an easy A. And Naminé you didn't distract me, in fact I enjoyed the time we spent to together!"

Naminé smiled, "Thank you, Sora. I'm glad, I promise that next time, I'll actually help you in your studying!"

When there was only a couple of minutes before class was over, Ms. Rae called Sora and Naminé over. "I wanted to give your French test back. I've already graded them and I wanted you to go over them." She gave Naminé's hers first, who smiled at the grade. Then she gave Sora's his, who frowned at his, but then smiled, he only got one right. Ms. Rae smiled a knowing smiled at Sora, she had seen what he wrote for his only answer.

When class was over Sora followed Naminé to her locker. When she had put her books away, Sora said, "Hey, Naminé. It turns out I failed my test. But, I got one right. It's better than nothing, right? Here, check it, it's the last question."

Naminé took his test. She turned it over and her eyes locked onto the last question.

Question 15: What does Je t'aime mean?

In Sora's writing he wrote inside a big heart- Je t'aime means I love you. And Naminé? Je t'aime! I love you too!
