Time for the first songfics of the year!! These always take me a while to write, but I enjoy writing them. This is a Kaiora songfics though I'm not a big fan of Kaiora. I just thought the song fit them. The song The Bird and the Worm is owned by Owl City. May we bow before this epic songs.
For those who will look up the song, I did cut a small part out of it. Sorry for those who may be upset at this.
Day 13-The Bird and the Worm
If you're the bird whenever we pretend it's summer
Then I'm the worm, I know the part, it's such a bummer
"Hey Kairi," Sora called out as he came running up to her. The redhead smiled as Sora caught his breath. "What's going on?"
"Nothing much. Just thought I'd take a walk," Kairi replied. Sora nodded and they began to walk together.
It had only been a month since he and Riku had got back to Destiny Island, but things were getting back to normal. Still lately Sora had noticed that in their absence, Kairi had grown. Not physically, but mentally. She'd seem more careful, though mature.
Sora felt a little jealous. He had grown too, but he all the issues he had come across still kind of weighed on him. He wish he could be as carefree as her.
But fair is fair, if my segments get separated
I'll scream and you'll be there
Close your eyes (close my eyes)
Sora blinked in the bright sunlight as he and Kairi continued down to the beach. Thinking about his journey, memories rushed back to him. Most of them were about Kairi. Kairi and her in trouble.
The keybearer tried to push the thoughts out of his mind. He saw that Kairi was giving him a concerned look.
"You ok Sora?"
"Fine. Just distracted."
"Mm." Kairi closed her eyes at the finally reached the water. She looked so peaceful that it made Sora smile.
"Come on let's go."
Slide the cotton off of your shoulder
And feel the shine (feel the shine)
I'm hooked so toss me over and cast a line (oh I'll try)
They finally reached the beach, Sora feeling better. He had to get his mind off all the negative stuff that happened. Had to focused on the now. On the good that is now.
Kairi began to strip down into her bathing suit and Sora felt himself blush slightly. Once she was in the water he followed her lead.
"Come on slowpoke! Hurry up!"
Sora raced into the water and splashed Kairi. She let out a joyful cry and did the same thing. As he continued having fun in the water with the sun warming his back, Sora let all other thoughts slip from his mind.
Oh, throw a party and greet my undersea friends (It depends)
As they arrive (if they arrive)
You and I left our troubles far behind (troubles far behind)
But I still have just one more question on my mind
For all my pals who live in the oceans and the seas
With friends like these well, who needs enemies
"Wouldn't it be cool Sora if we could breathe underwater?"
Sora looked up at the sky as he floated. He had spent some time as merman and it was indeed cool. Just as he was going to tell Kairi this, he was pulled under.
"Umph!"
Breaking the surface, the brunette came face to face with a laughing Riku. Selphie and Tidus were also here.
"What the-? Riku why did you do that?"
"Because it was funny."
Kairi giggled as she waded over. "It so nice of you guys to finally arrive. Where were you?"
"I had things to do. Selphie and Tidus kind of forgot."
"We did not," Selphie cried, her face scrunched up. "Don't lie Riku! You were the one who forgot."
Riku just smiled sheepishly, then tackled Sora.
"Water fight!"
If I'm your boy, let's take a short cut we remember
And we'll enjoy, picking apples in late September
"Aren't the trees pretty in fall?"
They (Sora and Kairi) were in a small grove of trees eating lunch. Kairi had found this place near their school and for lunch they would come here. They always manage to get back to class, but just barely.
"Yeah they are. I love how they turn a lot of different colors and look." Sora pointed to an apple tree. The fruit on it was ripe. Kairi reached up standing on her tippy-toes and grabbed one.
"Think it's any good?"
Sora shrugged. Kairi took a small bite, but then a bigger one. She handed the apple to Sora.
"It's delicious."
Like we've done for years
Then we'll take a long walk through the corn field
And I'll kiss you between the ears
Sora waited for Kairi outside the school. They were going to walk home together. They had been doing so since school began. Riku teased them saying when are they going to admit they are dating. Sora just blushed and said he was wrong and they were only friends.
"I'm here," Kairi said cheerfully. They fell into step right away as they walked. A cool autumn breeze blew. It was a nice day. The kind you wanted to just walk slowly and enjoy. Which they did.
"So Riku isn't walking with us again," Sora asked after awhile.
"Said he didn't want to intrude," Kairi said, with a grin. Sora nodded and hip bumped Kairi, who did it back.
"Intrude on what?"
"I don't know. You'll have to ask him."
It was silent again, but not in a bad way. They didn't always have to talk to each other all the time.
They reached Kairi's house and paused outside the door. Impulsively Sora kissed Kairi on the cheek. When he pulled back her face was red.
"Bye Kairi."
"See you later Sora."
If you're my girl, swirl me around your room with feeling
And as we twirl, the glow in the dark stars on your ceiling
Will shine for us, as love sweeps over the room
"Will you come dance with me Sora?"
They were on the beach, looking at the night sky. Sora turned to Kairi confused. "Dance? But there is no music."
Kairi rested her head on her knees. "I know. But that doesn't mean we can't dance."
Sora did nothing at first, but then he was on his feet. He extended a hand to Kairi, who took it surprised.
They began to twirl around the sand, their surrounding becoming a blur. Both began laughing, falling to the ground. After they finished laughing, Kairi spoke again.
"The stars are so bright tonight." She reached across the distance between her and Sora, taking his hand.
"They sure are."
'Cause we tend to make each other blush (you make me blush)
"So are you two dating now," Selphie inquired one day after school. She looked between them as they didn't reply.
"Why would you say that," Kairi asked finally.
"No reason. You guys just seem closer than usual."
"Are we dating," Kairi asked later. She was laying on her bed with Sora, him laying the opposite direction.
"Do you want to," he asked, his face getting hot. He poked her in the leg with the bottom of his foot.
"Yeah I do," she said softly, her face equally red.
"I'm glad."
If you're the bird (If you're the bird)
Then I'm the worm
We were meant to be
"Sora?"
"Mm."
"I'm glad you guys are back."
"Hm."
"I really missed you. Both of you."
"Uh-huh."
"Sora….are you asleep?"
"No."
"Lair."
