Back into your Arms

The following day was a normal school day. Everybody moaned, knowing that tomorrow would be the same classes, teachers, and homework. But they still kept on talking about the dance-who they danced with, who did what, and who had an embarassing moment that night. Everyone laughed, some cried, and others were just plain silly. That night was fun, indeed, but that didn't qualify for some people. Roxas was sitting at a bench with Sora, looking for a pen in his backpack, while Sora kept on talking about the great night that he and Kairi had.

"..and then we went to IHOP for some pancakes!" was all Roxas could hear. But something caught his interest.

"Did Namine and Riku go with you guys?"

"No. I overheard Riku telling some kid that he was going to 'try it on Namine.' Didn't know what he meant, but he took her to his car."

"What?" Roxas was filled with the anger again. "Why, I'm gonna kick the crap out of him if he hurt her!'' All of a sudden, Roxas noticed a note in his binder. He quickly opened it, wondering who it was from. "Sora, look!" Sora went to take a peek at the card Roxas held in his hand.

"Meet me at the boathouse at the pier at 3:00 sharp." Sora turned to Roxas. "Are you gonna go?"

"I dunno."

The bell rang, so Roxas grabbed his backpack and walked to his classrooms, like usual.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Roxas waited for 15 minutes for the anonymous person to get here. He sat on a wooden box, while looking at the sea through the window of the boathouse.. It was so blue, so beautiful, like Namine's eyes, he thought. Soon, he felt a hand gently touch his shoulder.

"Huh." He turned to find a pair of blue eyes, slighly covered by blonde hair. "N-Namine?"

She smiled.

"Hey, Roxas."

He stood up from his "seat" and looked over at Namine, who finally wore something other than white. She wore a baby blue tank top that matched her eyes, and jeans, which were her favorite.

"Why did you send me here?" Roxas asked.

"I need to talk to you." She stood beside him, and signaled him to sit beside her.

"About what?" Roxas felt like he knew what he was going to say.

"Well, I wanted to say...I'm sorry!" She rested her head on his shoulder, and he felt a sob from her. "Sorry for not believing in you...for betraying you...for leaving you for that jerk Riku!"

Roxas quickly stood up and looked at her. "What did he do to you!"

Namine looked up at him. "He...took me to the hills...and pressured me to...make love to him...so I slapped him...and..." She ran to him and hugged him tightly. He put his arms around her, angry at Riku. How dare he do that to you, sweetheart, he thought.

"He will pay, watch!" Roxas replied, hugging her tightly and kissed her forehead.

"Roxas..."

"What?" He kissed her head, smelling the sweet scent of honey in her blonde hair.

"Do you...want to get back together with me?"

Roxas felt a tear slid down his cheek when he heard her say that. "Of course I do!" He hugged her, and she looked up at him, pressing her lips against his. She kissed him passionately, like they did the day before. This time, neither interrupted, only got deeper with the kiss. Namine found herself falling into a couch that was there, pinned down by Roxas. She felt him trying to take off her tank top, which caused her to be uncomfortable. She knew what was going to happen next, but still couldn't forget how Riku did the same. She struggled to let go, until Roxas felt her letting go, so he parted from her.

"What happened?"

"S-sorry. It just brings me back nightmares with Riku."

"Sweetheart, I'm sorry. At least WE have done this before..." Roxas hugged her tightly, kissing her cheek, which was a bit wet from her tears.

"Roxas...I...love you."

"I love you too." The two spent the night looking at the sea, and recovering the dilema they have faced. They talked, cried, kissed, and laughed, but they knew that in the end, it will all be good. The two were lying down on the couch, gazing at the stars above the sea at night.

"There is no place I have to be to be this happy with you." Namine said, cuddling with Roxas, while his arms were wrapped around her.

"I would rather live a moment with you, than an eternity without you."
