[inspired by Mahamania's suggestion!]

Also we find something out quite important about our dear Namine :D

Anyway Enjoy!

Just as Sora had said Olette did show up after school the next day. She was carrying something pink and instantly I felt the wind being knocked out of me.

"What the hell is that!" I demanded incredulously, ripping the thing from her arms to observe it myself. I heard Olette giggle.

"It's called a dress Kairi." She said matter-of-factly, taking the dress back from me and flattening it out on my bed. I grimaced at its shortness. A pink dress with white straps, two black strips running down the sides, with zippers and with a hood connected on the back. [A/N: Kairi's slutty KH outfit :D]

"Is this really necessary?" I asked pleadingly.

"Of course it is Kairi; you want to look hot for Roxas don't you? Or is it Sora? I get so confused these days are you going back and forth or what? You know there's a word for that and I believe it starts with an S…" She sniggered at my sudden blush.

"I-I I have no idea what you're getting at!" I stammered angrily. "But one thing is for sure I am no way in hell going to wear that to the party!"

"Oh yes you are Kairi!" She threatened, a dark malicious glint flashed in her green eyes. Before either of us could do anything my bedroom door swung open.

"Girls I have food-…what are you two doing?" My mother asked staring at us confusedly.

"Giving Kairi a make over," Olette replied simply avoiding the subject of that indecent pink thing on my bed.

"A make over for what?" she pressed suspiciously. Yes, go mom, let that authority instinct kick in and stop this whole party thing!

"Um…"Olette started, glancing at me for help." For fun-"

"For a party mom. I'm going to a party…with people from my school." I said helplessly almost pleadingly. "I don't know what might happen. It could be dangerous…"

"That's nice." My mom said absentmindedly, waving me off. "You need to go out more often." And with that my only shred of hope walked out of my room leaving me with the devil's spawn.

"You're mom's really understanding." Olette commented with a sly grin. "So about that dress…"

After a few hours of agony with being almost killed with the eyeliner and mascara, Olette finally stuffed the stupid pink thing on me. She allowed me to wear my converse (thank god) because they were deemed "cute". I walked stiffly in front of the vanity mirror.

"Stop walking like there's a pole stuck up your butt. Sway your hips when you walk and stick out your chest and butt!" She scolded. I walked to the mirror and almost died of shock. There was someone completely unrecognizable staring back at me. Of course the obvious features (red hair and blue eyes) gave away who it was but I couldn't believe it.

"Olette…" I stuttered, touching my face.

"Yes?" She chimed in happily from behind me.

"I look…I look…" I stammered.

"Beautiful, hot, awesome?" she supplied.

"Stupid."

She clutched my shoulders angrily.

"Hey I'm offended after all this work you're going to say you look stupid. Well you are stupid but you look hot!" She huffed angrily in one breath.

"Sorry…" I apologized, turning away from the mirror slowly. "I'm just not used to this."

Her green eyes softened at my honesty. Her grip on my shoulders loosened into a friendly manner. "It's ok." For a moment I really felt some kind of friendship bond with her. Something I've never really felt before with anyone besides Namine. I was about to comment these feelings out loud when Olette continued, returning to her bossy tone.

"Anyway," she said removing her hands and turning away to pick up my clothes. "I can't wait for everyone to see you at the party! Agh they'll be drooling all over you!" Ok the moment vanished as quickly as it came.

I face palmed.

"Olette, what about you? Aren't you going to get dressed?" I pointed out. She grinned at me.

"Of course I am," She reassured, packing up her things.

"Wait aren't you coming with me?"

"Psha no," She laughed, petting my head. "I'm going to wait for my hot date to pick me up…literally hot."

"Huh? But I don't know where Hayner's-"

"Jeez Kairi weren't you listening when I told you? Sora's picking you up duh!" She said. I shook my head and stared at her angrily.

"You did not say that..." I started.

"Oh well then I'm telling you now, anyway Kairi I really got to go. See you later!" She giggled winking at me as she left me still staring at her. I walked over and sat on my bed. This was going to be a long night. Why did I ever agree to go? Oh wait, that's right I didn't! I laid back against my bed counting the seconds to go down. Any minute now, I suppose.

x.X.x

Sora did come as Olette said. And looking quite snazzy, I might add.

He wore a dark black blazer with dark jeans and a white collared shirt. If I squinted closely I noticed the color was light pink not white, I almost fainted in embarrassment.

"Yay we match!" That was the first thing Sora uttered when he saw me. I face palmed. Could this get anymore embarrassing?

"Someone's looking hot!" He said cheekily, making me blush deeply. "Is it for anyone in particular?"

"Olette did this. Ask her." I said flatly.

"Aww, don't be mad get glad," He said happily, grabbing my hand and pulling me down the porch steps. "You really do look nice today." He said sincerely, his eyes were soft and there was goofy smile plastered over his face. Instantly my heart skipped a beat and I forgot how to breathe for a moment.

"You too…" I found myself saying.

"Ah thanks!" He chuckled scratching the back of his head. I turned my attention away from him, to save my heart from bursting out again. What I saw almost yelped when I saw a black car in my drive way.

"Whoa…where'd you get the car from?" I asked staring at the glossy paint. It was so clear and shiny I could see my reflection on it.

"Ah, I have my resources Kairi," Sora said calmly leading me to the passenger seat.

"As long as you didn't commit grand theft auto…"I murmured to myself.

x.X.x

By the time we reached Hayner's house it was already packed and the music was cranked up so loud we heard it before we turned the corner to his street. I gulped when I got out of the car and stared at his house. This really was like those typical teen movies. With people macking on the porch, kids flying off the trees, and there was always one idiot who ran around naked.

"Are you nervous?" Sora's voice rang through my ears. I looked up at him.

"Yeah."

"Me too." He said, before clutching my hand tightly. We both walked hand in hand inside the house.

x.X.x

I'll admit the first thing I saw the first thing that stood out was the color red. I realized it was red hair similar to my own except a hundred times as brighter.

"Axel!" I cried out in shock over the music. He didn't turn around immediately but he did eventually.

"Oh hey cuz!" He slurred. I noticed the bottle of beer he was clutching. Jeez the party didn't even start officially yet and people were already drinking?

"What are you doing here?" I questioned.

"Oh you know I'm hanging owwwwwwuut!" He laughed, swinging his hips to the music except he was way off rhythm. "You're little friend invited me! She thinks I'm hootttt! And she's right!"

Who the hell would be stupid enough to invite my idiot cousin?

As if on cue to my question Olette popped up from behind Axel.

"Hey Axel!" She said flirtatiously. I just gaped at the two of them. I heard Sora chuckle next to me.

"Oh Kairi this is her! This is the friend!" He said excitedly pointing at Olette who was just simply beaming. He turned back to her. "Hey do you wanna see something cool?"

He pulled out a lighter from his pocket and lit up his sweater sleeve and started waving it around.

"Axel! You idiot!" I grabbed the nearest cup I could find and threw it on him, instantly the flames when out.

"Hey stop it! I didn't ask you to stop it I was on fire man!" He babbled angrily.

"Yeah Kairi!" Olette agreed. I disregarded her.

"Axel these are high school students you're 'partying' with! Get out of here before someone gets hurt-" I started.

"Relax Kairi jeez live a little." Axel murmured in the background. I rounded on Olette.

"What are you doing with this guy?" I asked furiously. Olette grimaced sheepishly.

"It's nothing serious, it's just…Hayner doesn't really like him- and I thought… you know?" She mumbled bowing her head.

Before I could open my mouth to tell her how stupid she was, I felt Sora steering me away. We reached the kitchen which wasn't as loud as the living room.

"Are you ok?" He asked me.

"Yes..It's just all this party hype is making me a little nervous." I admitted.

"Why so jumpy Kairi?" He asked lightly, humor touching his tone.

"I don't know…"

"Are you waiting to see someone," He asked making all the implications in the world. I felt my face flush.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I snapped.

"Oh I think you do."

"No you-"

A loud crash broke our conversation. Both of us whipped our heads to see a flustered looking blonde jump up from the floor. I felt Sora stiffen up as a board next to me.

"Um…ah sorry didn't mean to interrupt" Namine stammered, flattening out her white sundress. Her usually pale cheeks were stained with pink.

"You weren't interrupting anything," Sora said indifferently turning away from her.

"I'm still sorry…" She said desperately and suddenly I felt like an outsider overhearing someone else's conversation.

"It's nothing." He said, refusing to look at her. His eyes fell on me. "Do you want some punch? I think it's in the living room. A pretty stupid spot to place the punch huh?" He laughed bitterly before walking out into the living room, leaving me with Namine.

I stared at her. She was leaning against the counter, one of her hands in her face. She sighed.

"He hates me; I know it." She said softly.

"He doesn't. He just doesn't know how to act around you right now." I said with a forced friendly smile. Namine looked up at me and for the first time I felt like her eyes were piercing through me as if she could read every expression and every feeling I ever tried to cover up.

"You… you like him don't you?" She asked, even if it was more of a statement than a question. I gulped and broke away from her gaze.

"What makes you think that?"

"I'm not stupid Kairi." She said coldly and I flinched. "I've seen the way you look at him. I've seen the way you turned away whenever he tried to get my attention or tried to flirt with me. Why do you think I'd always blow him off? Do you really think I could possibly reject someone without a valid reason?"

I glared at her with so much frustration and she reciprocated.

"I have no idea what you're talking about!" I snarled. She ignored me.

"You like him. But you like someone else too." She continued, taking a step closer to me. I stepped back glowering at her. "Sometimes I wish I could knock some sense into you so you could choose already instead of leaving them dangling."

"Hah very ironic considering you've done the same thing with Sora and Riku." I spat back.

"I already told you; I had my reasons to reject Sora, you should know that," She snapped.

"But what's your reasoning on keeping them waiting like you did? Huh? Why did you take your time considering how you wanted to reply to Sora's request?" I said harshly, feeling my hand clench into a tight fist. Namine crossed her arms and stared at me, with a frustrated expression. "Maybe it's because you also have feelings for him."

Namine glared at me unblinkingly. Her pale blue eyes narrowed. "I won't deny it, like some people. I did like Sora. But now I'm with Riku, so that's ended. But you're dragging this out way too long. Roxas is waiting. And if you and Sora keep this 'friendship' up he'll start waiting too."

There was only one thing that registered through my head out of her whole speech. She did like Sora. Sometime through the years she actually did like him back, but the only thing stopping her was… me. I felt sick to my stomach. This was not how I imagined a party would be like and I havent' even been here for a whole ten minutes!

"I'm done talking with you." I said quietly, and turned away.

"You can't keep this up forever." I heard her whisper before I walked out the door. I nearly crashed into Sora who was clutching two cups of red punch. He put them aside once he saw my expression.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"It's nothing," I mumbled. "I just have a headache. I think I'm going to go find the bathrooms."

"Hey… are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine. Go have fun." I muttered pushing past him. I could feel Sora's questioning stare on my back and I could have sworn I heard the kitchen door swing open and hear him yelling. But maybe it was just the music.

I didn't want to see him. After the truth came out from Namine I wanted to get away from the both of them. She only just made me angrier. Why should I feel guilty about Sora? I liked him just as much as she did, probably more.

I dragged my feet upstairs, looking for the bathrooms. There were more than five doors in the hallway on the second floor.

"Ugh! Why are there so many god damn doors," I cried out angrily, before stumbling towards the nearest door. I opened the first door to find the birthday boy sucking face with Olette.

"Um…" I stuttered awkwardly. Olette broke away from Hayner looking wildly from him to me, completely beet red. She gasped and then slapped him.

"Don't touch me." She sniffed.

"Ow Ollie what the hell?" He cried clutching his face. I shut the door before either one of them could speak again. Obviously that was the wrong door.

I walked further down the hall until something crashed into me. Something that smelled like cheap tobacco. I blinked and found myself faced to face with the stupid crack head Seifer. He was grinning down at me showing off his ugly yellow teeth.

"UGHGHH What? Get off of me!" I nearly screamed shoving the stupid pot head off of me.

"Hey! I remember you!," He chuckled, his nasty breath suffocating me.

"Please get off!" I tried again, struggling from underneath his arms.

"Come on Kairi," He whispered in my ear, making me gag.

"Who the hell invited you anyway!" I snapped.

"Don't you like it like this? I'm comfortable," He said pulling me closer to him.

"WELL I'M NOT!" I yelled, kicking him in the groin again. And just like before at the beach, he collapsed on floor cussing at me. I merely glared at him and skipped away. Ugh, what a jerk! I've had it with these constant interruptions to my trip to the bathroom. Where the hell is this stupid bathroom anyway?

Finally I found the right door. I burst through the bathroom and closed it hurriedly sighing in relief. But my relief didn't last too long because what I saw there made me nearly jump out of my skin.

Blonde hair. Surly expression. Icy blue eyes.

Roxas was leaning over the sink, staring at me through the mirror, his expression grim.

"Sorry," I mumbled, turning around to open the door except it wouldn't open. I jiggled the doorknob only to find it stuck.

"It won't work," His quiet voice sent chills down my spine. "I've been in here for hours."

"Are we stuck in here?" I asked incredulously, pulling the knob with all my might. I started to bang on the door. Surely someone would hear me.

"I've tried that too. The music is too loud." He said, his voice dripping with negativity. After I was out of pounding strength I sank against the door.

"We're stuck." I said answering my own question. He turned around to face me full on, his eyes roaming up and down my body and suddenly I started to feel self conscious. I brought both of my arms over my chest.

"You look good." He commented, before turning away, and sitting down on the bathroom floor. My face flushed and I could see my face was red through the mirror reflection.

"I…thanks, Olette did it." I said softly. "You clean up nicely as well." I tried to joke. He looked down and shrugged his shoulders. I could tell he'd been here quite a long time because his shoes were off. His collared shirt was rolled up on the sleeves to his elbows and it was unbuttoned showing his white undershirt.

I stood there awkwardly staring around the bathroom anywhere but him. I noted that Hayner's parents really love that whole under the sea theme because the whole bathroom had painted oceans and fishes everywhere.

"You should sit; we might be in here for a while." He said. I stared at him before plopping myself down. I clamped my legs together tightly, and tucked them to the side. Jeez stupid dress won't even let me sit comfortably.

I cleared my throat and looked down, tracing circles over the cold tile of the bathroom. I could feel Roxas' eyes on me. What am I supposed to say? I need to get out of here! I can't be stuck here the whole night with… with him!

"I'm not mad at you, if that's what you're thinking," His voice suddenly brought me back from my thoughts. He was staring at me warily, his eyes as icy and hard as ever. I gulped and stared down at thighs that were showing because the dress kept shifting up.

"Oh," I mumbled awkwardly.

"I'm not, really."

"I believe you," I said reassuringly.

"Then why don't you sound like you do?" He questioned his voice much closer now. I didn't say anything, and hugged my shoulders tighter. "It's you isn't it?"

"Huh?"

"You're the one that's mad." He guessed wearing a skeptical expression. I opened my mouth to protest but the sight of his raised eyebrow made me stop. Ok now that I think about it, I was mad. My expression turned sour.

"You shouldn't say things you don't mean in public." I muttered into my knees. Roxas' eyes squinted in confusion before widening. His face immediately darkened in embarrassment.

"You think I didn't mean what I said?"

"I know you don't mean it." I bit back.

Roxas' eyes narrowed furiously at me as if I just insulted him. "You don't know anything!" He snarled coldly. I flinched.

"I'm sorry!" He said quickly stopping any opportunity for me to retaliate. "I didn't mean that. I just…" His head bowed, and his hands went to his hair, ruffling it up angrily.

"Roxas-" I began softly.

"Kairi," He said suddenly. He got up from his seat, walked over to me and sat in front of me. "I love you."

I love you… I love you I love you…. Those three words kept ringing through my head.

Instantly my anger wavered ok well it completely disappeared and was replaced with deep nervous feeling in my gut. Butterflies.

His eyes burned into mine with such intensity it hurt to look at him. He inched closer to me. Before I could back away from him he pulled me into an iron grip hug. Winter fresh hit my nose before I could hold my breath and soon I was intoxicated by the scent.

"Roxas!" I mumbled angrily into his chest, prying him off. He pulled away and pressed his lips to my forehead. Immediately I stopped struggling and froze like a statue. His arms roamed around on the small of my back causing me to stiffen up even more if that were possible. His smooth lips brushed my skin causing it to ripple in heat waves.

"I adore you," He breathed into my hair, his arms moving higher up my back, making large circles. "Kairi, you still don't realize how important you are to me do you?"

"No, I don't," I admitted, feeling a strange sense of déjà vu. My heart beat crazily, and I knew I wasn't thinking straight. "W-will you show me?"

"Show you what?" He asked pulling away to look at me.

"Show me what you mean." I replied calmly. Slowly but surely Roxas understood what I meant, even if I had no idea what I meant. His lips pulled upward into a small sweet smile and my heart felt like it shattered.

"I'm really glad you're here," He said quietly. His blue eyes were darting between mine. "With me."

I felt my chest swell up. "Me too."

We stared at each other, sizing each other up, before Roxas' face fell.

"But you don't like me?" He asked thoughtfully as if to purposefully ruin the moment. I blinked out of my trance and brought myself to my senses briefly by shaking my head. What the hell was I about to do? Get a hold of yourself Kairi! You're not a boy-crazed hormonal girl!

I heard myself sigh in disappointment.

"I thought we already went through this…" I said softly. He disregarded my question and moved closer. I scooted back until I was pressed against the bathroom door.

"So you don't like me?" He questioned, stretching his arm out, his hand brushed my cheek before planting itself on the door above my head.

"Of course I do…" I stuttered. My face started to heat up at the closeness. Roxas was practically leaning over me. "As a friend." I tried to emphasis the friend, to see if he'd back off. But he was remained in the same spot.

I felt his other hand skim up my arm. His fingertips brushing my neck, before holding my chin between his thumb and index finger to bring my head up. His blue eyes darted between mine, they were smoldering.

"Are you sure about that?" He asked slowly, enunciating every word. My eyes followed the movement of his lips as I was suddenly transfixed upon them.

"I…I-"

I blinked away, shaking my head slightly.

Stupid Kairi, focus!

"Because… sometimes…" He moved closer, pressing his cheek against mine to whisper in my ear. "It really doesn't seem like it."

My face flushed and I knew without a doubt he could feel the heat from my face because I heard him chuckle.

"I-I um…I don't…" Obviously I was lacking the ability to from a coherent sentence because all I was doing was rambling. Roxas moved away to stare at me. His fiery expression made me nervous. My pulse quickened in anticipation. But what the hell was I anticipating? Something familiar…

"Enlighten me, Kairi." He purred and I involuntarily shivered. There was something about the way my name rolled out of his mouth that made me like it more than I should have.

He tilted my head upward until all I could see was the ceiling of the bathroom. Huh sea shells? Ah, snap out of it! What the hell was he doing? Before I could protest or push him away, I felt something soft rest on the base of my neck. Roxas' winter fresh smell started to swirl around me, and soon I started to get dizzy.

The soft feeling moved higher up my neck, leaving a trail of newfound warmth every spot it touched. My chest swelled and my stomach started to get all tingly, like that annoying feeling you get when you're about to make a big drop on a roller coaster, except this feeling never went away. My breathing kicked up a notch and everything around me suddenly dissolved. The only thing I was aware of was how this sense of warmth felt really really good.

I opened my eyes slightly and looked down to find wild blonde hair in my face. Once I put two and two together, my body literally turned into a statue. Roxas was kissing… my neck… And I was letting him?

Where was my dignity? What happened to the friendship boundary line I drew up?

His lips moved higher until they hit my jaw line and soon I was slipping back into the crazed stupor I was in.

Oh screw dignity and friendship this felt good.

No, no, no what about integrity? Stop this, this instant Kairi!

"Roxas…I" I mumbled, feeling my confidence waver. I needed to make him stop but I couldn't, more like I wouldn't.

He stopped.

"You were going to say something Kai?" Roxas voice suddenly pulled me back to reality. I blinked to find him staring at me intently. I blushed, and looked away.

"Stop this." I muttered weakly. "Its...It's just making things worse."

"You don't like it?" He asked innocently.

"No- that's…that's not it." I said, feeling my face heat up an angry red. "I do like it- more than I should, which is only making things worse!"

He raised a dark eyebrow skeptically.

"How so?"

I felt myself sigh. "Roxas I like Sora." I said flatly.

"And you're saying you have absolutely no feelings for me?" He asked. I didn't know if he was being serious, or funny. Did I have no feelings for him? If I didn't then why did I even let him do that to me? Surely I would have stopped him from the very beginning

"I am… a little attracted to you." I admitted shyly. I noticed him blush a little, but he composed himself with a steady smirk which only flared my frustration. "But I still don't like you."

"That makes no sense." He countered with a smile, inching his way to close the gap between us, but I placed a finger on his lips.

"Stop it please." I begged quietly.

"You don't want this?"

"I-I… I don't know- yes but no… I ugh," I sighed impatiently feeling like a complete idiot.

"I'll change your mind." He said hastily, before planting his lips on mine. Almost as if on cue the original feelings from before erupted in my lower stomach.

Kairi stop! Stop stop stop! NOW! Think of Sora!

I pulled away suddenly.

"Please…stop," I muttered weakly.

"Just once more," He pleaded.

"Roxas I don't want to give you any false hopes…" I started, my voice faltering, my lips still burning from the recent contact.

"You won't," He promised, cupping my face with his right hand tenderly. I couldn't help but close my eyes. But I shook my head again and pulled away from his touch.

"Roxas you don't get it!" I hissed angrily. "If this keeps going on…" I started my face hot and probably beet red.

"I know, I know…"

"NO! You don't know!" I snapped. "Maybe I should just leave."

"You can't, we're locked in here," He said, a little smugly I might add. My temper flared again.

"Well maybe I'll just yell my way out." I barked, attempting to get up from my seat. But Roxas planted both of his hands on the wall on either side of me, trapping me within his arms. His head rested on my right shoulder.

"Please just stay here… with me."

"Roxas I-I can't…I…" I stopped, when his hands wrapped around me again. I felt his lips on my shoulder, then my neck again and suddenly I was losing my level head. What was I talking about again?

"Kairi," His hot breath beat against my neck sending shivers across my body. This was not right, he wasn't playing fair! "Kairi…"

I tilted my head back giving him better access, relishing the feeling. Ok this felt awesome!

"Ok…" I agreed. "Ok...But… this can't leave these bathroom walls because I can't want more from you than friendship." I rushed in a breathy sigh. Roxas didn't answer and at that moment I didn't really care. His lips trailed towards my jaw line until they reached my own lips. The familiar feeling filled my gut except this was ten times better. And I had no reason to stop. I was kissing Roxas and I didn't stop. I didn't even want to stop.

Apparently during our whole lip locked session the door to the bathroom unlocked from the other side. But neither of us noticed seeing as we were too preoccupied. Besides I didn't really care, there were other things that were important.

Roxas' lips for example.
