Chapter Ten

Not Yet Legal

Kairi sat in the back of the school waiting for Sora to show up. Today had been an excellent birthday, Selphie had overwhelmed Kairi with a dozen baloons, Namine had gotten her a picture of Herself, Kairi, Selphie and Riku when they were like 8. It made Kairi laugh, in the photo she had her two front teeth missing. Sora had already given her the ring, and he was going to pay to get her lip pierced. Speak of the devil, literally...Sora popped up beside her. For some reason he was incredibly cheery today, he grinned and handed her a white daisy. She loved daisies, more than roses. Roses always seemed too dull...People thought of them as romantic, Kairi didnt.

"Ready to go?" Sora asked

"Yeah"

"Good I'm driving." He announced. She laughed. For some reason, Sora got all controlling when it came to driving.

"Your funny...No...My birthday, my car, I drive"

"No...If we crash, I want my death to be at my hands not yours. I'm driving." He shoved her lightly. She frowned and slapped his chest.

She finally gave in...Again. Sora snatched the keys from her and jumped in the car.

--

The walls of the parlor were plastered with random designs, mostly flaming skulls or random banners. Occasionally you saw a Disney character or two. Roses and slutty looking Tinkerbells. A girl with short black hair and bangs that swooped over across her eyes was behind the counter, focused on a design. Sora grinned and walked towards her. She didnt notice him until she yawned, when she did she smiled and jumped over the counter to him. They hugged eachother tightly before breaking apart. She had bright blue eyes, they shone nicely from under her black bangs. She was dressed in worn out looking jeans. She had on a white tank with an obvious black bra under it. (C'mon a black bra and a white tank?? See through) She had tattoos on the tops of both her feet and a tattoo of the origional barbie on her right forearm. On her left wrist was a tiny red heart. Her nose, tounge, lip, and ears were pierced. She smiled widely at the brunette in front of her.

"Dont tell me you came here because you wanted to visit." She laughed " Cause I dont buy it."

"Naahh I need to get a piercing. Fuck visiting. You know thats not my type"

"Where?"

"Not for me" He turned to Kairi who had been examining some designs." For my girlfriend. It's her birthday, she's getting her lip pierced"

"Did I hear that right...Girlfriend?" The girl asked. Sora nodded. "Jeez Sora what happened to you?"

"Shut up Gina" He shouted, he turned to Kairi." Gina this is Kairi, Kairi this is my cousin Gina" The two girls shook hands

"Ok so lip? Thats it?" Gina asked.

"Well yeah, unless you want a tattoo Kai" He offered. Sure Kairi would like a tattoo, but not now. She shook her head.

"Ok then lets get started," Gina pulled Kairi over to the chair where she sat down. Sora stood by the chair, Kairi looked up at him for support. He smiled. Gina took a needle from a bucket of water and loaded it into the gun. She pulled it to Kairi's lip. "Ok, it'll hurt for a minute...Ready?" Kairi nodded and grabbed for Sora's hand. Kairi's eyes widened at a stabbing pain on her lip.

----

Kairi got into the car as Sora started it. He looked at her and laughed a little. She glared at him for a minute and started laughing. Sure she looked good with a little silver hoop in the left hand corner of her bottom lip, but the sight of her angry was much more amusing. The needle had hurt more than she'd expected and she was angry at the pain, she grumbled on the way out of the shop. He knew she'd be back to normal in about 10 minutes. He decided they'd go to the grassy hill for a bit before going to Kairi's.

When they reached the hill, Kairi seemed relieved to be out in the fresh air. Today was a sunny day, warm, the rays hsone on the bright green hill illuminating it with a yellowish glow. She headed towards the water and jumped in. Splashing about. Sora just shook his head at her. She beckoned for him to come in. He shook his head again. She quirked an eyebrow at him.

"Awww please Sora! Do it for me?" She pleaded, clasping her hands together. He smiled.

"Oh now I'm motivated" He said sarcastically, adding an eyeroll to it.

"Please?"

"No"

"Why?"

"You really wanna know?"

"Umm not if it's going to imply anything sexual or gross."

"I cant swim"

"You're joking"

"Yeah...Yeah I am"

Suddenly without warning, he ran to the water, threw off his shoes, socks and shirt. He quickly ran through the shallows and dove into the deep blue water when he popped up, he took a big gulp of air and looked around for Kairi. She smiled at him and he swam to her. Kairi giggled at him, he looked kinda funny with his hair all wet and sloshed in front of his face. He crossed his arms.

"What the fuck are you laughing at?" He spat. She shrugged.

"Oh nothing." Kairi still smiled. He moved closer to her. ow he was an inch from her face in chest-deep water,

"Well then dont look up" He warned. She did. When she did, his hand came down and dunked her under water.

Kairi opened her eyes, she could make out Sora's legs but everything else was dark. She pointed her head upwards and kicked off the bottom. Sora was laughing at her, she frowned and then tackled him into the water. They both came up splashing eachother, Sora would put Kairi in different wrestling poses and occaisionally he'd hit her but not hard. She stopped him, he held her waist firmly. He looked at her concerned, a little drop of water came from his nose.

"Sora, thanks for giving me such a nice birthday, I really appreciate it." Kairi said sincerely.

"Well your piercing was free so I didnt spend too much money on you" He teased, she slapped his chest. "I would've though, if my cousin -"

"Sora I love you"

Instantly her face reddened, he stared blankly at her for a minute then let go of her hips. It wasn't that he didnt feel the same. No, it was more of a shock of the fact that she said it. No one had told him anything like that since his mther died. He actually liked to hear it. His own father barely spoke to him. He made small talk and OCCASONALLY made an actual conversation. Sora was kind of put off by Kairi's confession that he didnt realize how long he was taking to reply.

'What should I say?' A clueless teenage voice asked inside his mind. Another answered. 'Tell her you love her!'

'Do I? Do I love her?'

'Yes! Dont just say it. Tell her...'

'But what if she-'

'Dont dwell on what ifs if the if never happened SAY IT!

"No!" Sora exclaimed out loud. Kairi thought it was his response to her. She looked away from him. He realized what he'd said and quickly tried to rectify the situation. She was already kind of out of the water. "Kairi! No hats not what I meant to say!!!!" He yelled at her. She flipped her hair and turned to face him.

" So what did you mean to say?" She replied.

Sora let out a heavy sigh "I meant to say how beautiful I think you are, how you've changed me immensely. I havnt had anyone say anything like that since my mom died. I mean you saw me as a person while others only saw me as an emo kid who slashes his wrists. At first I debated on whether or not to even talk to you, let alone kiss you." He paused and realized she had relaxed a little and wasnt angry anymore, she was biting her bottom lip. "And then I realized, having you in my life isnt an option because, your amazing, and beautiful, and...I love you."

She smiled to herself at his confession, at how open he was being with her. She was still biting her bottom lip and Sora was looking for any indication that what he said was a good thing. He came to her and held her to him. It was a minute before she actually gave in and held him too. Her head was against his cream colored chest, he breathed in her beautiful scent he wondered ' was it her perfume or maybe it's her shampoo, hmmm smells like fruit' she beamed at him before standing on her tip toes and kissing his lips. Of course he wouldn't object, it was a little out of the blue and random though. ' i guess that's the brain of a woman...crazy' He mentally shook his head cause it would be wierd if he shook it now.

--

Kairi and Sora finally came home after almost an hour at the beach, with wet clothes, Kathy kind of wondered what the boy and the girl had been doing. They explained it and showed Kathy the hoop in Kairi's lower lip. Kairi's mom responded to it by shaking her head and walking away. The two teenagers began putting up streamers. Some were draped over the doors, twisted and then hung so the actual ceiling was almost unoticable. He kept distracting her by pulling her into little kisses and wrapping his arms around her but she responded by pushing him off gently. Then the doorbell rang, it was Namine and to Kairi's surprise, Roxas. She had kind of not been expecting him because of his injury, but apparently he'd been well enough to come to her party. She hugged Namine and then turned to Roxas who was wearing sweatpants and a sweatshirt.

"Nam! I'm so glad you guys are here!" She turned to Roxas. "So are you feeling better Roxas?"

"Much, but I gotta stay in comfortable clothes, AKA sweats I'm fine though, I have a scar." He said, it was almost like he had an ego or like he was trying to be show-offy.

"Come on in, we're still decorating and my mom's leaving tonight on a 'business trip'" She air quoted business trip because her mom was most likely going to spend the weekend with one of her male co-workers. Speak of the devil, Kairi's mother peeked from the hallway. She seemed to be in a hurry. She was adjusting her watch. She had on a grey suit and black heels.(heels suck) She nodded at the newly arrived teens and hurried back to her room.

"Ooooohhhh so are the guys spending the night too?" Namine asked, obviously hinting somthing dirty. Kairi giggled and Roxas rolled his eyes and went in to meet Sora the girls continued chatting amongst eachother. Namine noticed Kairi's piercing. "Oh my god!! Tell me you didn't get your lip pierced!!"

"Yes I did. Hurt like hell for the 15 minutes after but I love it." Kairi played with the hoop a little bit.

"Oh did Sora pay for it?"

"No his cousin did it for free, he would've if he had to." Namine nodded kinda skepticly. " He told me he loved me today." The blonde girl's eyes widened.

"No he didnt." She argued."You're talking about Sora right? Emotionless Sora?"

"Hey he isn't totally heartless. No he's really an amazing guy. Nothing I ever expected."

"Well let's go inside"

They turned to go into the house when they heard a shreik from behind. They turned to see a brunette struggling to catch up. She had a pink Hello Kitty pillow in one hand and a purse bag thing in the other.

"Wait dont start without me!!!" She shouted. The other two girls laughed.

"Selph we aren't starting anything except decorating you're not too late to decorate my family room with pink streamers" Kairi informed.

The three girls walked into the house to join the guys.

--Later--

Riku, Roxas, Sora, Tidus and Wakka werent even interested in what the girls were doing, they were taking turns on Guitar Hero II. So far, Sora and Riku had been tied. Everyone else pretty much sucked, but the game is pretty hard so you can understand how they might lose.

"Fuck you man! I won, I just aced Free Bird on hard mode!" Sora yelled. Riku and the other guys laughed. Kairi's mom came down with a suitcase.

"Ok I'm leaving. Now I dont mind you boys spending the night, just please sleep in another room." She asked. Then she yelled to Kairi who was in the other room. "Kairi I'm leaving! Call me tomorrow! I love you happy birthday!"

Kairi and the other girls had heard but didnt reply.

"Ok this is boring we need to pry the guys away from those games." Yuffie said, startling almost everyone else.

"Well whatta you suggest?" Kairi asked

"How about we play charades?"

"What are we 70?" Selphie said sarcasticly. "No lets play dirty games!"

"No Selph. Lets just play somthing that we'll all enjoy."

"Ok Kairi jeez, dont have a cow!" Selphie defended.

The party was a big hit. They turned off the video games and had kareoke and they all realized they couldn't sing. Funny though. Then they played charades, Selphie threw some dirty ones in there...Typical. Kairi opened the presents her friends had gotten her. Finally it was around 12 they were through half of the movie 16 Candles (yes I know Kairi's turning 17 but its an awesome birthday movie anyways) and everyone except Sora and Kairi were asleep...Or at least they thought. Namine occasionally made a sound that kinda indicaated she was awake. When Kairi said her name and Sora flicked popcorn at her, she didnt budge from where she was nestled against Roxas. Riku was splayed on the floor. Tidus and Wakka had somehow gotten entangled in eachother.(hehe) Selphie fell asleep next to Yuffie who had her arms crossed. The two remaining teens got sick of the constant snoring.

"Hey wanna go to my room? It's far away from here." Kairi asked Sora. He grinned mischeviously and nodded.

"Sounds good."

Kairi got up, yawned and stretched. Sora did the same then her came up behind her and picked her up, planting a little kiss on her lips.

"Happy birthday baby."

It was already just past midnight so it wasnt her birthday anymore but she decided torefrain from telling it to Sora. He actually seemed to be cheerful on her birthday. She liked it when he was happy.

When they reached Kairi's room, she flicked on her lamp and opened her window. Sora knew she was about to smoke. She didnt want her mother picking up the scent of cigarettes, which is why she opened the window. She conjured two cigarettes from what appeared to be nowhere and lit them, handing one to Sora who took it without hesitation. She sat on her windowsil and looked at the dark sky, the little white dots were sprinkled across the black canvas.

"You know, when I asked you to marry me in front of that girl..." Sora began. "I wasn't kidding."

Kairi coughed due to a large inhale of smoke. She sputtered and found words. " Sora...I...A-Are."

"No Kairi I'm not joking. I'd marry you today, tomorrow, 2 years, even 10. Any time as long as it's me doing it." He brought the cigarette to his lips.

"Sora...We're only 17" She said. He rolled his eyes.

"Thanks Captain Obvious" He said sarcasticly. She smirked.

"Sora?" He didnt make any indication that he was listening but she knew he was. "I'd marry you too."

He closed his eyes and turned around smiling. "Promise?"

She blushed. "Yeah"

The boy licked his fingers and extinguished the cigarette, pocketing it for later use. Kairi held out hers so that he could do the same. He did and winced a little then handed it back to her. She threw it onto her dresser with numerous other objects. When she turned, Sora was directly in her face. She began to speak but he silenced her with a kiss. Not a light or gentle kiss but more out of hunger or lust. She was taken aback at first but gradually agreed to it. She felt his hands wander to her chest and she withdrew and bit her lip. (Again huh?) He grabbed her arm.

"I wont do anything if you dont want me to. Just tell me yes or no." He said straightfoward. She pondered this. Did she want to do this? Of course she did but what would be the outcome, some couples do it and after the first time they realize they hate eachother and its over. She looked up at him with her blue eyes and nodded. "Are you sure Kai?"

She stood up and kissed him lightly this time. His hands found under her shirt and danced along her stomach before going higher...And the night goes on.

They only wished someone wasn't possibly awake...

(A/N: Just so you know, this is not like my other story if you catch my drift.)
