Here's another drabble! This one is based off that one scene from Days. You guys know the one! Specifically from the manga because that scene is too adorable :D Hope you guys like!
The two nobodies watched as the heart released from the giant heartless drifted up into the ceiling of the ballroom. Xion looked over to Roxas, who let out a soft chuckle. She grinned at him in return as she handed over his Keyblade.
"Thanks, Roxas. You can have this back."
He took the Keyblade from her, wondering if his idea to let her borrow it would help her remember how to summon her own. "Well… did it help? Do you remember now?"
"I don't know… I think so. Let me try it again."
With that said, Xion closed her eyes and slightly held out her arm in front of her as she tried to focus on summoning her Keyblade. She felt her hand tingle for a moment, but nothing seemed to appear. "I can almost feel it… but…"
"But…?"
She slowly brought her arm back down and opened her eyes to see Roxas staring at her with a hopeful expression. She wasn't sure why her face suddenly felt warm at that moment, but she ignored it and shook her head.
"Wait, I need to try it one more time."
Roxas scratched his head, wishing he could find another way to help out. "Do you wanna borrow my Keyblade again?"
Xion's gaze fell to the floor as she shook her head. "No, it's okay. I just need to focus some more, that's all." She started to remember how warm it felt when she was using Roxas' Keyblade. Almost like… if I was holding his hand, she thought. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind. Still looking down, she timidly held out her hand to Roxas.
"Roxas… can you give me your hand?"
The boy gave her a puzzled look, but he didn't question it and stepped closer to her, taking her hand in his. Suddenly, a shiver ran down his spine at the touch. Her hand is so cold…
Xion glanced at their hands before she looked up at Roxas, who has been curiously staring back at her. That warm feeling returned to her cheeks again, almost at the same time that Roxas started to feel his own face warming up.
"U-Umm… is this fine?"
The girl snapped out of her thoughts and nodded, "Mmhmm…"
She held out her other hand and took a deep breath as she shut her eyes and concentrated one more time. Please… come back to me… She wished for it over and over again until in an instant, she heard a sudden 'whoosh' followed by the familiar weight in her hand. Xion's eyes immediately flew open as her gaze fell upon her very own Keyblade. The girl gasped as she just stood there, looking at it in awe.
Roxas couldn't help but grin widely at the sight. He happily placed his other hand on hers out of instinct. "You did it, Xion!"
"I don't believe it! It actually worked!" Xion bounced with excitement before she realized the blond was holding onto her free hand with both of his own.
Roxas saw that she noticed this and let her go as he sheepishly laughed to himself, his face turning red. Xion couldn't help but giggle quietly at the sight.
"C'mon, let's go show Axel!"
She quickly nodded her head, "Yeah!"
With that, they began to make their way back to the dark corridor, both excited to see the red head's reaction. In the meantime, Xion continued to marvel at the Keyblade still in her hand. It was all thanks to Roxas for being there by her side.
"Roxas…"
"Hmm?" He slowed down and turned to look at her.
The girl smiled softly as she glanced at him with rosy cheeks. "Thank you."
He returned a smile of his own, timidly rubbing his neck. "Of course, Xion."
They proceeded to walk in silence, her gaze momentarily falling to his hands before looking down to her own.
His hands were so warm… I wish… I could hold onto them again…
