Sapphires and Rubies

by WishingDreamer5

Blue and red. Just basic colors when apart. But if mixed well, you get the perfect purple shade. But if one is clumsy and adds a little too much of one color, that harmony that you're trying to create will be lost. It's all about precision and patience. But with Aqua and Kairi, nothing ever makes sense, does it? Aqua and Kairi friendship, AU. You won't know what will hit you.

Sadness

"Aqua, what's wrong?" Kairi asked, while sitting down next to the bluenette.

"Nothing," Aqua swiftly muttered.

She grabbed a magazine from the table and started flipping aimlessly through it.

"Well, if this is "nothing," then I don't think I want to know your "everything!" Kairi remarked, but her friend didn't reply. The redhead sighed. "Look, we can do this my way, or we can do this the hard way. You pick."

"I'll do this my way," she snapped, but when she caught Kairi's hurt look, she apologized. "I'm sorry. I just… don't want to talk about it."

"You might feel better afterwards," the younger teen hinted.

Before Kairi could prepare herself, she suddenly saw tears streaming down her best friend's face. Without any hesitation, Kairi put her arms around her and comforted her as best as she could.

Aqua hardly ever cried, so when she did, something was really wrong.
