I continued to run off; faster with each step I took.
Before I knew it, me-running-away-from-him…turned into a 5th grade impression of a race!
Hot Dog Stand…Jewelry Store…. Cinnnabun…Park! I took notice of every familiar shop, it helped tell me how close I was to the Church.
Mmm, maybe I can lose him in the park…lets find out! I deviously thought to myself.
I didn't care that Roxas was yelling his head off, just as long as he: A) runs out of breath B) coughs up a lung –or- C) suddenly finds out he has asthma.
I pretended I was going to go straight, and then I quickly turned right. Still behind you, Namine.
I ran off to my left; tall green blurs, flying pigeons, another Hot Dog stand. I saw these things out of the corner of my eye.
I darted to my right again. CRAP! I didn't notice but I was now running towards a bench…double crap. Instead of running into it, I hopped over it, and landed back on my feet; a bit hunched over.
I took off again, and twisted my body to go (diagonally) left. I jumped over a dog, passed a teen with melting ice cream, and almost knocked over a guy on a bicycle.
I stopped, and behind a, very tall, vending machine. I looked down, trying to pump more oxygen into my lungs. I turned my head again; yep, still there.
His air looked plastered to is face (which was a bit flushed). His hair quickly moving around with him, his lips…smiled…?!
"What, you give up? This was just getting fun!" He panted, but disregarded the urge to topple over in pain.( I could tell)
"No, I was just waiting for you slow poke!" I smirked at him, and crossed my arms. He titled his head, like a confused puppy. "Well, come on, that can't be your best!" I explained.
I will admit though, all those turns, and stuff…took a lot out of me.
"Guess your right, I was holding back. We should start over, just to make it even!" It was Roxas' turn to smirk.
"UGH! Forget it! I try to ditch you, and you still follow me. Jezz-us, do you like me or something?!" I cupped my hand over my mouth. Shoot, he wasn't supposed to hear that part!
I didn't want to hear him ask why I said that. I don't have an explanation, plus the fact that maybe he'll think I like him…gross.
Sure, he's cute and all—Cute? The dude is HOTT! Like, hotter than the freakin' sun: hott!
…Okay, he's hott, but Im with Riku… and he makes all the other guys seem so…plain.
What about his hair? Doesn't his hair make you wanna run your fingers through it? And his eyes, they are soooo deep! OH, oh, oh! His FACE! It makes him look just like a puppy! Especially like when he's sad, or gives someone 'The Look'! God, he should be famous for that look!
"Alright, alright! God, he's hott!" I yelled out in frustration. Wait; did I just have an argument with myself?
"What? Who are talking about, and who are you talking to?" Roxas titled his head again, STOP! IT'S TOO CUTE!
I shook my head, attempting to shake off the blush. "I-it's nothing! I think running all that much…or the sun…stupid voices!" I felt his hands hold my shoulders. I looked up...NOT THOSE EYES!
"Namine? Do you feel okay? Maybe you should sit down." He touched my forehead searching for abnormal heat, a temperature.
"Yeah, I think if sit, I might feel better. It might make the voice go away." I agreed. I was probably just dizzy or something.
We walked over to an empty bench, right under some cherry blossoms. He instructed me to sit down (and stay there) until he got back.
Roxas' p.o.v
"All right! Get your stupid asses out here, NOW!" I yelled into a bush.
I knew exactly what happened back there with Namine.
Demyx, Zexion, and most likely Axel, had messed with Namine earlier (dunno how); just to either A) make me do something extremely embarrassing or B) just for the thrill of it.
Demyx was the first one out, Zexion, Axel…and who's this? Oh…Larxene.
"Okay, okay, before you try to kill us with 'The Look'," Some of them began to laugh.
Idiots. I thought to myself.
"…It was all Axel's idea!" Then suddenly everyone portaled out, exception: Axel. (I grabbed his sleeve).
"Explain. Now." I growled. I don't get how these people get a kick out of this.
The way I found fun was killing heartless, assainating anything, stealing Superior's hair gel, and playing pranks on fellow members…oh…this was some sort of prank…haha.
"Look, this was completely harmless. H-A-R-M-L-E-S-S, got it memorized?" He chuckled at his own (stupid) joke.
"Why won't you give up 'got it memorized' already? You've said it some many friggin' times!" I explained letting my hand slide form his sleeve, and onto my temple; to relive me of this over coming headache.
"Ah, that's why it's called a catch-phrase, C-A-T-C—" I stopped before he spelled the whole damned word.
"Spell it, and I'll kill you…so get back to my question…why were you guys here?" I asked again.
"Simple. We wanted to see Namine again, but we had to test Zexion's power, so we thought, we might as well see if Zexion's new power would work on Namine. He now has the ability to add voices in your head (specifically Namine).Demyx comes in at that part; he wanted to do the voice. Me, and Larxene just wanted to see. ALSO…we wanted to make sure you didn't do anything stupid." He explained, smiling at his response, while leaning against a tree, and folded arms.
"Stupid, what the—AXEL! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!" I yelled.
He just shrugged, and finally portaled out.
I swear, one day, I am going to beat him to a bloody pulp…then again…"CRAP! Namine! I better get her an ice cream or something…that's the only excuse I got."
I ran off on the direction of an ice-cream stand, hoping her favorite flavor was still chocolate.
Namine's p.o.v
I was being to feel sane, since I sat down. Though, I began to worry what was taking Roxas so long.
"Here, don't drop it though, I don't feel like running all the way back there." He placed a chocolate ice cream in my hands. I looked at him; he was sitting beside me, one hand behind his head, other one holding the ice cream; eating the heck out of it.
"Eat it. It'll melt if you don't." He said, not even looking at me.
"Right. Oh, wait. Roxas?" I asked beginning to lick my ice cream.
"Yup?" he asked
"How'd ya know I liked chocolate?" I still licked my ice cream while he stopped.
"…Lucky guess!" He smiled at me.
I blushed. This smile was different from the other ones. This smile…it looked…like it was saved…just for me.
"Okay, but thank you."
I smiled too. But what made me do the next thing was pure accident.
I placed my right hand on his left cheek, making him face me and then….
I kissed him.
Yes, before we've kissed…but that was all on him…this…this was all me(?) Besides, those kisses were only, like, 5 seconds...this was 3 freakin' minutes! Oh, wait, you were supposed to know about that part!
I thought that for a moment it was out of force-of-habit (?) but…it felt like it wasn't me who did that.
Confusing…right, sorry.
What Im trying to say, is that, I didn't feel like myself when I kissed him. I felt like an alter ego had taken over or something.
When we both realized what just happened (we…uh…had our eyes…closed), we, slowly, pulled away.
"…Y-you're welcome… what was that?" he asked his eyes were blinking slowly, and looked at me.
I turned my head to stare ahead, and then looked back down to my quickly melting ice cream.
"I…I dunno…I just…forget it. Im sorry." I thought I was about to cry for a strange reason (that I couldn't find).
I bit my lip…oh god…vanilla ice cream…he had vanilla ice cream…I JUST TASTED ROXAS!
I touched my lip, and looked at my finger…cold, wet…vanilla…dammit.
He continued to stare at me. Then he threw away his ice cream, he stood up, and stretched out his hand, towards me.
"Although that was…awkward-ly (nice), I'll forget it. Just, just don't avoid me, later on, alright?"
I stared at him, his hand, and then I smiled at him. I took his hand.
"Yeah, okay. Fair enough. Soooo, you wanna come with me to the Skate Park? It may not be around here but…I want to draw some people mid-air, and stuff…" I began to blush, I mean, this sounded like I was asking him out on a date!
Yes, I was lying about my real plans, but…I figured he would have more fun if we —I mean he-- were at a Skate Park.
Yes, that was a lie too. Honestly…I want to see how good he is…on a skateboard.
"HELL YEAH! I've been dying to see this Skate Park…only…usually I can't find it, or I don't have time. Oh just wondering…is this a…date?" he mumbled out, though honestly I couldn't hear him.
"What? Repeat that, please?" I asked, I titled my head so I could hear him better.
"I-I said…um…do you skate? Yeah, do ya skate?" he sighed; I guess he's been meaning to ask that.
For a while I looked at him like I didn't hear him, but then it hit me…about what he really said.
I giggled, and then it turned into a laugh. I shook my head after a few minutes.
"Y-yeah…I skate…and…yeah, maybe it's a date." I spoke. I pulled him with me, as we ran off in the direction of the Skate Park. (yes, i threw away my ice-cream, Im NOT a litter-bug!)
A/n: yeah, how'd ya'll like dat chapter? Just to save you from confusion : Zexy(oooh, i love his nickname) got a new power, and Demyx/Axel/Larxene wanted to see Namine(again)...AND they had to test Zexy's power...they out two--and--two together and decided to use Namine as their test subject!
Got it now?!..Goooood...OH CRAP! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE THROWING KEYBLADES HERE!
Namine: This is just the begining of the Namine-vs-Roxas/grudge!
Roxas: Why the hell are you naming it? All where doing is arguing/fighting!
Me: like a married couple ( takes old popcorn, and hands out newfresh bags to reviwers).
NamiXrox: SHUT-UP! WHO THE HELL PUT THAT TITLE?!
me: me...duh...get on with the fight.
(Earlier:) Roxie drew his keyblades, cuz' Nami stole Sephiroth's sword, and tried to hit Roxie. But when Roxie blocked her swing, his keyblades flew out of his hands...and almost hit kunoichi...but she's K.O! oh, i mean O.K!roxas tries to call keyblades back, buy nami saw him try)
Namine: ROXAS! DONT MOVE! ( she has the end of the sword at his neck...)
