Oathkeeper

(Oh, dear… what am I going to do? All of you want me to keep on with this story, but don't you guys realize how boring it's going to be? xD I don't know about the quality of this chapter… I was kind of… down last month… Sorry if the chapter is crappy…
Aw… well… I'm going to end the story! :') -)

{-Five years later-}

*Flashback*

We were at the clock tower. I wondered why Sora wanted to go here. I know we both loved the view and sitting here the whole day, but still…
Sora suddendly stretched his hand out to me and I took his hand, while he pulled me up.
He looked a bit suspicious and his eyes were narrow. "Say, Kairi… a lot of girls are crying when guys do this, but I don't know if you'll cry?"
I frowned. Where was he talking about? His mind said nothing, he was thinking about me, but not about what he was going to do…
He suddendly let go of my hand and fell to one knee, which made me realizing what he meant. And I was crying.
His eyes never let mine go for a second and he pulled out a small, black box.
"Kairi, will you please marry me?"
*End flashback*

"It was not fair! You should have warned me!"
Sora just laughed. "Wouldn't change a thing! You were crying! I saw it!"
I pushed him on the couch and kissed him to shut him up.
"Ah, gross… a married couple making love where everybody can see" Roxas laughed and he had a seven years old Jessie on his shoulder.
Sora gently pushed me off and walked over, took Jessie over and put her on the ground. "Sorry, Jess, but I have to punch uncle Roxy to death"
Jessie laughed and walked over to the couch. "Hello mom!"
Since she was five, she knew I could read minds, because it was way too hard to hide it from her. She knew already too much when she was two. Roxas knew too, by accident, and Naminé too, but nobody else. They kept my secret and I was happier than I ever could be.
"Hello Jess" I smiled before hugging her tightly.

Everything happened so fast in those five years… Sora and I were married for three years and it felt great. He loved teasing me about the fact I had been crying that day and I didn't mind. What was wrong with crying because the love of your life proposed you? And besides, if he had warned me, I wouldn't have been crying.
We were in Sora's house since there wasn't enough money yet for our own house. Well, Sora worked already, but I still studied. Jessie went to the primary school and Roxas and Naminé were going to marry very soon, so Jessie was all hyperactive about being the only bridesmaid.
Xion and Demyx were still together, but since Demyx was working in a band now and Xion was studying too, they were pretty busy. Larxene and Axel didn't share the paopufruit, because they had broke up for four years, but since a few days, they were together again. Roxas and Naminé didn't share the paopufruit as well. Naminé was kind of scared of what happened to us. Well… nothing really. We couldn't just be too far away from each other. Separate us too long and you'll get two mad adolescences, I swear.
Sora's parents and Roxas and Naminé went shopping with us and we separated ways, just to get more stuff in less time. Um… I can't describe it a lot… I was losing my mind totally there…
When we got back together, we… um, kind of freaked out. Including making out in public. So… to make a long story short, Naminé really loved shopping with friends, so she didn't want to share the paopufruit. And Roxas really needed sometimes time for himself.
But Hayner and Olette did. But they weren't planning on marrying soon. They both studied, so they wanted to do that at first.
Well, that's kind of all what happened the past five years.

"What are you thinking about?" Sora sat down beside me again, wrapping his arm around my waist.
"About how stuff went so fast the past five years" I said. I couldn't help but feeling a bit surprised that the time went so fast.
Sora chuckled. "You better buy me a present"
I frowned and turned at him. "What do you want?"
He smiled at me. "Whatever you like to give me"
"Um, why do I have to buy you a present again?"
He shrugged. "Because tomorrow it's been exactly five years since we met for the first time"
I gasped. "Oh! That's right! Do you want to do something special?"
Sora hugged me tighter. "Just being with you is all I really want" He laughed and buried his face in my hair. "I don't want a present, really… we need the money for our cottage"
I sighed and rested my head against his chest. "Suppose you're right"
"Mommy?" Jessie came in.
Can we go shopping?
My brow raised. "Did you have a special reason why you want to go shopping this suddendly?"
Jessie blushed. "Well… aunt Naminé said it would be great and we would drop by the new bookshop if I'd like… and we could go to the Princess Shop on the corner… "
I smiled at her and picked her up to set her on my lap. "Why don't you go with uncle Roxas and aunt Naminé then?"
She pouted. "Uncle Roxas runs away every time I want to ask him to come along!"
Sora laughed. "I'll go with you and I'll make sure uncle Roxy is coming"
He smiled innocently at me and I groaned. "You're not fair" I knew if he would go, I would go with him.
But Sora's mom entered the room. "Where are you going?" She asked curiously, noting the look on Jessie's excited face.
Jessie jumped up and down now. "Shopping with uncle Roxy and daddy and auntie Naminé and mommy"
Sora's mother frowned. "Oh… I'm sorry… but we have a visitor… it's not very nice to leave… "
"Who is the visitor?" Jessie said, immediately curious.
As if she wanted to answer her question, my mother came in, saving me from a whole afternoon spending between princess dresses. Not that I cared, but well… I kind of managed getting the same color red as my hair.
And Roxas always tried to find a dress that fitted me. Well, last time Sora forced him to wear a Cinderella dress for five minutes. That wasn't so hard… it was hilarious, but Roxas said if I would ever remind him of it, he would kill me.
Sora looked curiously at me. What's so funny?
"Roxas wearing that Cinderella dress"
Sora just laughed, before getting up and hugging my mother tightly. "It's been a while! How's the Organization doing? How are you doing?"
My mum laughed while hugging me. "Oh, it's going so well, with both me and the Organization! But I missed you guys so much that I came back from my trip to Australia"
"How is it like?" I asked her curious.
She shrugged. "Fine. I didn't got a chance for a good look around things… I was very busy"
I kissed her on her cheek. "Well, it's glad to have you back home again!"
My mum was being tackled by Jessie, who had the great ability to jump on people when they didn't notice. "Oof! Hey Jess!" My mother laughed.
"Grandma!" Oh, I hope so much she brought a new poetry book for me! I really want to read something new and I would be so happy and-
I narrowed my eyes. "Jessie…" I warned her softly.
She knew immediately where I was talking about and she looked ashamed. "Sorry mommy"
My mother got up and rubbed the back of her head. "Oh, I'll get used to the jumping part"
Sora grinned. "I won't be so sure if-" Thud. Jessie had tackled him and laughed on his back.
"Thanks Jess" he mumbled in the carpet.

It was almost evening, and Sora's mother and mine were talking in the kitchen while preparing dinner.
Naminé was reading and Jessie sat on her lap, reading along. Sora was asleep on the couch with his head in my lap. Roxas was trying to make his math's… (he ended up jerking his hair out until Sora's dad offered him help with his math's).
Suddendly Jessie jumped on the couch and pushed Sora's head softly off my lap before she sat in my lap and cuddled up against me.
Is it really cool to know what other people think?
I chuckled. "Oh, there are times it's very handy" I whispered, so only she could hear.
So you have always known daddy's thoughts?
"No, distance is a problem in almost every case"
But I thought you could hear daddy everywhere?
"Yeah, but that's the only exception… and it's not always been that way"
Please tell me how you met daddy again? Inclusive the mindreading part!
She smiled hopefully at me. "Please tell me how you met daddy?"
Roxas looked up and groaned. "Oh, please, no! Not again!" I laughed at him before turning to Jessie again. "Don't you want to hear another story?"
"One that really happened?" Jessie asked, excitement sparked in her eyes.
"Yeah… it's called: Uncle Roxas and the Cinderella dress"
Jessie laughed, but Roxas growled. "Oh, hush you"
I smiled at him. "You're welcome"
Jessie now pouted. Please tell me how you and daddy met each other?
I shook my head and rolled with my eyes. Thousand times wasn't good enough… I laughed at her pout and started with the day Sora and I met. We both told this story very often, usually to Jessie, but once to my father.
That was a pretty weird… situation.
Sora was working and I was alone at home, trying to work on my essay, when the bell rang and Jessie ran downstairs to open the door.
That's when I heard the stranger's thoughts. Why did she tell me to come here? Oh my… this girl… she looks a lot like… Kairi? Does she have a child already?
I remember freezing up in my chair. I remembered my dad's voice like yesterday and the stranger had the same mental voice. And by the way, which stranger would know my name?
The next thing I remember was running down the staircase and embracing my father.
He had changed a lot, like I did, but I promised him to explain everything when Sora came home.
When Sora came home, I explained everything what had happened in all those years without him and how Sora and I had ended up together.
He was just in time for the wedding, two weeks exactly.
But my father was going back to his… wife now. He didn't have other children. He said I was more for him than any other child could do. He did love Jessie, of course. I mean, who couldn't love Jessie?
My father was only surprised to see how… close Sora and I were.
He had two weeks to accept Sora before the wedding, but he accepted Sora in one day, like everybody else seemed to do.
When I told Sora, he had laughed. "You look so much like him on the inside, you know that? So, if you like me, why wouldn't he?"
I remember smiling and kissing him. "I don't like you, I love you… big difference"
"You promise to always love me the way you do now?"
"Promised"
Oathkeeper. My mom and dad had bought a cat for our wedding. Seriously, a cat! But it was so cute with his shiny fur and his sparkling blue eyes. It reminded me a lot of Sora, so I the first thing I seemed to blurt out was "Oathkeeper".
Sora found that so sweet that he called the cat that way.
Oathkeeper laid on his stomach, listening along to the story.

(A/N Sorry for a lot of describing stuff… I had to put that in it, or else you would've been so confused! I will now jump to the next morning and that will be the usual stuff ;) -)

I woke up alone. I sat up and groaned. Oh, Sora was working already. He had took Jessie to school and I slept through all.
I rubbed the back of my head before I nearly ran into the shower. I was free for today. We had week filled with the most annoying tests and since I never got one answer wrong…
But for once, I decided to open my books.
I was always amazed how important those books for 'normal' guys were. I mean, they study it the whole night and actually learn those from heart.
Must suck, I guess…

When I woke up again, my whole cheek burned. How come boring?
I groaned when I looked at the time. Jessie was almost coming home and I was still in my sweatpants and worn T-shirt. But before I could even move an inch, something disturbed me.
Naminé's voice slipped in my head. Better hope she's not sleeping…
She knocked on the door and waited. "Yeah, come in" I answered while putting the pile of books away.
"Oh, hey" Oh dear… Kairi… I'm sure you don't want to hear about this… so I'll leave and-
What was bothering her?
"Hey, what's wrong? You seem kind of… down?"
She fell down on our bed. "Oh, well… it's… I just want to talk with you about… serious things"
I turned my chair toward her and listened to her mind. It was like staring into a haze. What was the girl thinking?
"About?"
"Well… about l-love and w-we-weddings… and marriage…"
I couldn't help but raise my brow. "Um, sure… what exactly do you want to talk about?"
She kept looking down, so I changed the question. "Why don't you just start with the subject you want to talk about?"
She sighed. "Ah, well, Roxas wants to marry"
But I'm not sure…
"Oh"
"Yeah… "
"Why not?"
I tuned her out, so I wouldn't answer her mind instead of her 'spoken version'. She would need the spoken version.
"Because… because… I don't know about it, Kairi… You know, I would give my whole life for Roxas… but marriage…"
I chuckled. "So dying seems a better option to you instead of marrying?"
She blushed. "N-no… not that…."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm not sure about marrying… I mean… doesn't it stand for giving up your freedom and stuff?"
I frowned. "I never thought about that…"
Naminé sighed and hugged her knees. "Well, I really love Roxas, more than anyone else… but 'marriage' seems so scary for me now…"
We were silent. Naminé looked up, curious. "Are you reading my mind now?"
I shook my head. "Nah… I have some kind of feeling you'll need to talk"
"Oh… so… what do you think? Marry Roxas or not?"
I thought about that for a while. "Do. You'll see, it's not as scary as you make it. I mean, it won't change really much. You'll wear a ring around your finger and that's all"
"But the free-"
"You're not free now either, in that case"
She thought about that. "I guess you're right…"
Silence.
Then Sora's voice became clearer in my head, which meant he was coming home. But I couldn't just leave Naminé here like this…
"Naminé?"
Yeah?
"What is your heart telling you?"
To marry him…
"Then do so"
She looked up, surprised. "Just… follow my heart?"
I smiled at her. "Just follow your heart"

My whole mind was cleared up from the haze it had been when Sora was working and I rested my back against his shoulder, while finishing my essay.
I hate Shakespeare. Period
I turned a bit to look at Sora. "Um… where did that come from?"
Ah, well… he's so annoying in that movie… I forgot the title… It was about how 'Romeo and Juliet' was being made, right?
"Oh, that one… what's so wrong with him there?"
He shrugged. Oh, he just acts like a jackass, but yeah… I don't like jackasses
I laughed. "Sure you don't"
Oathkeeper jumped on his head and cut off our conversation.
"Hey Oathkeeper" Sora ruffled the fur of the cat.
I cuddled up against him, my essay forgotten.
It was more than keeping an oath what bound Sora and me.
More than promises, more than keeping it…

It was called 'love'.
