Roxas remained frozen. Oh my- She's gonna kiss me! Stay calm. Stay calm. Stay caml damn it! Roxas blushed and was about to lean forward himself, but flinched when he felt Namine's finger tap the tip of his nose. Huh?
Namine giggled. "You had a speck of dirt on your face," she said, "So I took it off for you." She stood up and brushed off he dirt on her white dress. "Are you okay?"
Roxas brushed off the dirt on his clothes and then ran his hand through his messy hair. "Uh...yeah," he stuttered, "I'it's just that..um... I'm sorry for falling for...I mean on you. It was my mistake."
Namine just laughed softly. "Don't say that, Roxas. We were both just playing around and ended up falling. It was an accident." She went to the tip of the hill and looked out into the beautiful sunset. "Sunset Hill is famous for its beautiful sunset scenery. Couples mostly come up here."
Roxas went to the tip also and leaned on the rails. "Yeah... This place really is great." As he stared out further, his mind wandered off and absorbed flashes of memories.

Flashes:
Sora held out the Keyblade at Roxas and Namine. A ray of light emerged and hit the two. The room flashed and they were on the floor asleep. Sora and Kairi picked them up individually and Sora opened a portal to Twilight Town. They jumped in...
Previous Flashes:
Roxas and Pence looked for the Wonders, and Hayner and Olette went looking for new rumors. Roxas was attacked by strange things...black shadows.
Roxas battled in a Struggle Tournament and won.
The ghost train passed by, but it was invisible to everyone but him. The mansion, the white room...witch. Falling off the Clock Tower and talking mentally to Kairi... Waking up to a new day.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Namine looked at Roxas. His eyes were wide and weren't blinking, and he was frozen stiff. "Roxas?" she called.
Roxas awoke from his memory trance and blinked a few times. He looked at Namine and said, "Namine...I remember now. You...Hayner, Pence, and Olette. Seifer, Rai, Vii, and Fuu, too. The Dusks, Sora...Kairi. The Destiny Islands... It's all coming back to me. But...how could I have been here and that Hayner, Pence, and Olette didn't even recognize me?"
"It was a virtual Twilight Town," Namine explained, "Created from Sora's memory. This is the real Twilight Town. They may have seen you familiar, but they don't know you."
"I see myself the way you remember me...and you see yourself the way I remember you."
Namine's eyes widened. "What?"
"Those were the words I said to you, right?" Roxas continued to recollect his memories, "Before we merged with Sora and Kairi and made ourselves and them whole...?"
Namine nodded.
"I remember everything now. Even the day where I decided to tell you that I l..." Roxas trailed off and looked at Namine, his eyes wide. He looked away and muttered, "Never mind."
"Tell me what, Roxas?" Namine asked.
Roxas shook his head. "N-nothing. Can we go now? It's getting kinda late."
"Uh...sure. Wanna take the tunnels or the train?"
"The train."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Roxas and Namine both arrived back at Central Station, it was dark and quiet. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening and most of the people were already asleep. The two walked down to Station Heights but then Namine stopped. Roxas looked at her and asked, "Something wrong?"
"This is where we separate," Namine stated, "My direction's at Tram Common." She headed off. "Goodnight, Roxas."
"Wait!" Roxas called and ran after the blonde girl. "I'll...walk you home. It's not safe for you to be all alone walking around the town at night. Where do you live anyway?"
Namine laughed. "Roxas, did you forget my fighting techniques?"
"No. But just to be on the safe side, I'll walk you home." He saw that Namine was about to protest and quickly added, "I want to spend a little more time with you." A faint blush appeared on his cheeks, but was unnoticed by Namine.
Namine smiled at his last statement and blushed. "Alright. Just follow me and I'll show you to my home." She lead Roxas through Tram Common and then showed him a hole in the wall. "Do you remember where this leads to?" she asked.
"Oh yeah!" Roxas piped, "To the Old Mansion. Wait...you live there?"
Namine nodded and entered the woods. "Sadly, yes. It's the only home I've got." After a few minutes, the teens arrived at the mansion and entered it. "Here we are," Namine stated as she closed the door.
"This place is creepy," Roxas said out loud, "No offense."
"None taken."
"So...where are the lights? I can hardly see a thing in here. Not even my own hands."
"Learn how to travel in the darkness, Roxas," Namine hummed and expertly headed for the stairs. "You'll need it someday."
Roxas heard Namine's footsteps and followed them blindly. "Whoa!" he cried when he bumped into a small figure and fell on the floor. "Ow that hurt."
Namine laid still underneath Roxas. Just do this, Namine! Do this! She felt her face heat up as she sat up and pressed her soft lips against Roxas' warm ones.
Roxas froze. Something soft and warm was on his lips and he didn't know what it was. But whatever it was, it felt good and he returned the kiss softly. Could this be...Namine?
Namine felt Roxas return the kiss and blushed even more. Sadly, she pulled away from him and then slipped away. She stood up and ran up the stairs and looked into the darkness. I'm sorry, Roxas.
Roxas felt disappointed when he felt the warm object leave his lips. He dizzily stood up flinched when the dark halls lit up brightly. He squinted and saw Namine near the door to the white room. I guess...it wasn't her. Must've been my imagination. I can't be that desperate!
"Anytime, Roxas!" Namine said. Her blush was still visible so she rushed into the white room and left the door open.
Roxas ran up the flight of stairs and ran into the white room. He closed the door after entering and found Namine sitting in her chair drawing on her sketchbook. "H-hey," he stammered and sat at the opposite end of the white table. He traced his lips with his fingers and smiled.
Namine took a quick glance at Roxas and saw what he was doing. She blushed even more and put down her sketchbook and pencils. "So...anything interesting happen, Roxas?" she asked, almost eagerly.
"Yeah," Roxas replied boldly, "I think someone...or something, just kissed me when I fell down." He smiled even more and had his fingers leave his lips.
Namine giggled unintentionally.
Roxas looked at her. "What's so funny?"
"The kissing mystery was me sitting up and accidentally...kissing you," Namine half-heartedly confessed. It was half true and half lie.
Roxas blushed a bit. "Oh...really? Sorry about that. I couldn't see where I was going and I fell down. It was my fault." He laughed nervously and flashed a cheesy grin. "Um...Namine?"
"Yeah?"
"I wanna give you something."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Destiny Islands, Kairi was over at Sora's house. They both sat in his bedroom talking.
"It's been a day," Kairi started, "So...does that mean they're all right?"
"Yeah," Sora sighed, "The effects only last for a whole day." He then decided to change the subject. "Hey, Kairi. You know about that secret place near the waterfall?" He smiled.
Kairi blushed. "Y-yeah...?"
"You...really want to share the Paopou Fruit with me?"
Kairi nodded. "To tell the truth Sora, you're a really nice guy and I...I really like you. You're brave, kind, and very friendly." She blushed even more.
Sora's smile became brighter. "Kairi?"
Kairi turned around to face him but ended up with her lips on his. Her eyes widened, but then drooped and closed when she felt the pleasure in their kiss. She smiled as they broke apart and looked at each other. Both of their faces were flushed bright red.
"I really like you, too," Sora confessed, "Actually...I love you. I always had. Ever since we were young I've always had a crush on you...and then as we grew older, that crush grew into something more. I-I'm sorry if you didn't want me to be your first kiss. I-"
Kairi cut the brunette boy off with another kiss. She pulled away and said, "Sora, I've always wanted you to be the one to take my first kiss. Thank you." She gave him a hug. "I feel the same way about you..."
Sora hugged Kairi back happily. "Thanks, Kairi."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roxas walked over to Namine and leaned down. He placed his lips on hers delicately and then pulled away after three seconds of the kiss. He blushed a bit and averted her gaze.
Namine turned brilliant red and stared at Roxas. "Roxas...was that a...?" she trailed off and placed and index finger on her lips. "My first kiss?"
"I'm sorry," Roxas apologized, "It's just that I really like you Namine. When I first met you... I don't know why but I felt happy. I didn't know what the feeling was after a few days passed. I wanted to see you again...so much that I actually sulked. The feeling was...I think..."
"Love," Namine finished for him. She smiled.
"Yeah... How did you know?"
"Confession. Down there where we fell? It wasn't an accident. I WANTED to kiss you and I did. I feel the same way about you, Roxas. I'm glad you returned my feelings... It makes me feel so much b-" Her eyes widened when Roxas wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned down to give her a second kiss. She smiled and closed her eyes while wrapping her arms around his neck.

I think this chapter was kinda lame, but...oh well. Forgive and Forget.
