After the kisses that happened, Sora and Roxas' friends didn't know about it at all. Riku was busy scarfing down his late dinner, Hayner, and Pence were asleep and Olette was figuring out a way to ask Roxas out.
----
The next day, in Roxas' room; Roxas wakes up and slowly looks around, finally content. Though there was one thing different about his room. There was a girl sleeping on his bean bag. Roxas shook his head violently, letting his hair flip around him, trying to wake himself up. He gaped at her; there was a smile on her lips, and a tear streaming down. Naminé had cried the night before, because she was so overjoyed that she finally got everything she wanted: People who cared for her, someone who loved her dearly, a life. She finally existed in someone's heart.
Roxas smiled at her and stood up.
----
Sora.
He tried shaking off the voice that was calling him.
Sora, wake up.
He finally gave in, and woke up, blocking the sun's rays in his eyes.
"Riku? Why are you waking me so early?"
"Sorry, but I need your help. Quick." He said, seriously.
Sora was fully awake and listened.
"There are two huge crabs waiting outside, I need you to help me." He said.
"What! Where's Kairi?"
Riku rubbed his head. "I told her she should've been the one to call you."
"She's the one holding them off?!" and Sora ran out, his keyblade appearing in hand with Riku following after.
----
"Jeez! People really need to" she dodged the crab claw "l-let me take care of myself!" she said through gritted teeth. Right as she said 'herself', the crab found an opening and slugged her. She fell back from the impact, her keyblade supporting her.
She gasped as she watched the claw slowly race down to her, she froze.
"Hyaaah!" Interrupted Sora, as he parried the crab's claws, and at the same time scolding Kairi for handling two giant crabs herself.
Sora ran toward the crab, and jumped high, and held on its nose, at the same time dodging the claws that could slice him up.
Riku was running up on the crabs arm, he was able to cut off one of its arms, and he was using the keyblade for support so he couldn't fall. The crab was shaking him violently.
Sora cut off one part of the crab's nose and landed on the sand. He ran right under the crab and struck all of the soft parts. Riku on the other hand, was still hanging on the crab's arm. Kairi was trying to distract it, by cutting its legs on the other side.
Sora killed the first crab, and helped them on the next. He cut off the arm Riku was hanging on and Riku jumped and made a somersault in the air, and threw his keyblade at the crab, straight in the eyes.
After both crabs were slain, Sora and Riku tried thinking of ways how to cook it. They were going to have an eating contest later on.
----
Naminé woke up, and realizing she was on Roxas' bed. Roxas must have carried me here.
And she sat up, looking up at the sky from his window.
Then the door opened and revealed Roxas bringing up a table-tray of food. "Oh, hey you're up." He said as he put the table-tray in front of Naminé.
"Breakfast in Bed?" her whole face lit up.
"Yeah, I got bacon and sunny-side up eggs. Mom makes the best." He said.
Then she tried the food, and practically ate and ate. Roxas was surprised at her reaction, and he chuckled.
"The food was delicious!" she said after finishing her water.
"I know." Roxas smiled at her.
"ROXAS!" Hayner, Pence and Olette yelled at the same time from the window.
Roxas laughed and looked out. "Hey! I'll be right down!"
He held Naminé's hand and brought her downstairs. Of course, Naminé disguised herself.
"So Roxas, have you seen Nami anywhere?" asked Hayner.
Roxas raised his eyebrow. "You're not thinking of asking her out, are you?"
Hayner gave him a "isn't it obvious?" face. "Why? You jealous?"
Olette and Pence looked at him.
"Jealous? Yeah, I'd be jealous." He said, playing along.
"I thought you and Olette would be..." started Pence.
"Olette?" he asked innocently. Olette put her hands on her hips, and wore a "supposed to be dangerous" expression, but Roxas knew far more dangerous things than a girl's scary face. Although he'd admit that if Naminé made that face, he would get on his knees.
"Olette is our best friend. Not my girlfriend." He said.
"Like you even have a girlfriend, Roxas." Olette threw back at him, expecting him not to counter it.
Just then, Naminé entered the room. Everyone welcomed her with open arms except for Roxas.
"Aren't you gonna welcome her, Roxas?" Pence asked.
Roxas just walked up to Naminé and put his hand on her waist. "Don't have to." He winked, and went outside with Naminé, leaving everyone with open mouths.
As they left the Usual Spot, Roxas and Naminé laughed low enough so that they wouldn't hear. They went to the Sandlot to walk around, forgetting that that place was where Seifer and his gang hung out.
----
"Seifer, another pose, y'know?!" Rai said, taking pictures.
Apparently, Roxas and Naminé gaped, and knew there would be trouble.
They tried their best to sneak away, but Fuu noticed them otherwise.
"Thief."
Seifer looked at where Fuu was pointing at, and walked up to the couple.
"Nice to see you again, Nami. What are you doing with this lowlife kid? He's got a lowlife gang, too." Seifer said, emphasizing on 'lowlife'.
Hayner came running in, trying to get Roxas to explain, but stopped when he saw Seifer.
"Hey! Didn't I say to back off?" he told Seifer.
"You gotta make him back off, y'know!?" Rai joined in.
Olette and Pence came right behind Hayner.
Seifer threw Hayner a play sword.
"Let's just settle this." He said.
"Stop this!" Roxas yelled. Everyone got dazed from the sudden yell. Even Naminé.
"Why do you guys even insist on fighting when it's all on one little thing?" he reasoned.
"Fine, let's make it bigger. Roxas, Hayner, Rai and I will fight. The winner gets Nami."
Naminé and Roxas had aghast looks on their faces, but they softened. Since they already knew who would win.
"Alright. Let's start up with the twerp who won't shut up." Seifer said, pointing to Hayner.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A TWERP?" He practically yelled back, and attacked him.
Seifer parried his attack, and hit him back. Hayner was pushed back to the ground, but he got up again, and ran towards Seifer, cautious. But then Seifer moved, which Hayner didn't expect. Seifer hit him on the back, and Hayner dropped his play sword from his fall.
"Winner." Fuu announced, pointing to Seifer.
Hayner was enraged, and he cheered on Roxas. Roxas' turn was with Rai.
Roxas just stood there, waiting for Rai to attack.
"What are you waiting for, y'know?!" he said, not moving either.
"What are you standing for Roxas?!" Hayner yelled.
Pence and Olette were betting again.
Roxas looked at Hayner, and while Roxas was distracted, Rai made his move, but Roxas was too fast. Rai almost struck him in the stomach, when Roxas hit his sword out of the way.
"Roxas." Said Fuu, annoyingly and in shock.
Everyone was shocked, except Naminé. She was giggling, actually. Seifer tried to hide his shock, and hit him before Fuu even announced it. He was able to hit Roxas twice, but he jumped high, right over him and hit his head.
I don't need to explain in detail, but the fight was short, and Roxas won. Rai and Fuu defended him on his defeat, and Roxas rightfully claimed what was his... not quite yet.
"Nami, please explain what's happening here; are you acting just to make me jealous?" asked Hayner.
Naminé stifled the expression of surprise with a hint of an "are-you-kidding-me?" face.
"No, Hayner. To tell you the truth, I am Naminé; not Nami." She admitted.
The three's jaws dropped.
"So she was true! But why'd you have to act like you didn't know her, Roxas?" asked Pence.
"And you made me think I actually had a chance..." mumbled Olette.
Naminé glared at her secretly.
"Actually... that part I don't know. I just lost my memory for a few days, then I realized who she was." Explained Roxas.
"Roxas, you're lying!" Olette yelled suddenly.
All eyes went to her.
She blushed from the attention, but mostly because Roxas finally stared at her.
"Why were you always with me, when we met 'Nami'?! You're just making an act. I'm sure of it!" she yelled.
"You know, that could be true," agreed Hayner.
Roxas got annoyed, most especially when he heard Seifer ask if Naminé was Hayner's girlfriend.
Roxas held Naminé's hand, to the shock of Olette and Hayner.
"Does this look like I'm faking it?" he said and held Naminé's face and kissed her once again on the lips. Not a normal kiss, almost a make out kiss. Hayner, Pence and Olette were mortified. Pence was covering his eyes, Olette was actually crying, Hayner didn't expect it to happen.
Even though the kiss was shorter than he wanted it to be, he glared at his friends, and mouthed "Do you believe me now?"
Naminé was surprised from the kiss as well, though she thoroughly enjoyed it. She wanted more, but decided not to push her limits.
----
Riku was fast asleep in the room, Sora and Kairi were sitting on the Paopu tree. They chatted about Hayner, Pence, and Olette, Struggle Battles, and everything about Twilight Town. Occasionally they shifted to Roxas and Naminé but then whenever they brought that up, they both started feeling hot, even though it was windy.
Sora was eating a piece of the crab. They found a way to cook it, using Fire from Merlin's Magic. They didn't know where to put the crab so they separated parts of it until they were small enough to fit in the open kitchen.
Kairi talked about Roxas and Naminé, seeing what would have happened if she did.
"Do you think... Roxas and Naminé kissed when we did?" she asked shyly.
Sora was caught off guard by the question.
"M-maybe. I mean, we... did... you know..." he said, uncomfortable. He wished she would change the subject.
She pressed her lips together. "Then, would that mean Roxas and Naminé.... like each other, too?"
"So, if w-we like each other" he blushed fiercely when he said this, "they do too. Yeah, otherwise I don't think we would have... kissed." He gulped.
"I wonder if it's really true."
Sora gulped once again, but he did want to kiss her again. He wiped his hand from eating, and placed it back on the tree. But Kairi's hand was in the way, so his hand was on top of hers. Kairi giggled then Sora joined her shortly after.
He looked at her, watching the wind blow her hair. Kairi looked down at their hands and looked at Sora as well.
Sora leaned in, "Well, we won't find out until we try it, right?" he said, as Kairi leaned down as well.
They also kissed the same way Roxas and Naminé did, and the same length of time because they heard Riku bump his head on the headboard and they immediately stopped kissing.
They were both smiling, because they were so caught up in the moment.
----
It should be obvious now, that everytime Sora and Kairi kiss, Roxas and Naminé do the same, but with entirely different reasons.

Author's Note: I seriously missed writing this story! I was so engulfed in my ideas, that I almost disregarded my other story. I wish I could write more, but I need to finish the next Kingdom Hearts. I can't wait until it comes out! R && R!
