AN: OMG my first Kingdom Hearts story to be uploaded on this website and it's a romantic one XD. So, to commemorate RokuShi day (a belated one anyway) I am going to write, not only my very first uploaded Kingdom Hearts story on this website this is also going to be the very first RokuShi story I upload and write OMG XDDDDD. Just a heads up this story here is gonna be connected to my triple crossover story that I'm gonna upload down the line of Halo cross-overing with MCU and Kingdom Hearts so this whole story here is a prequel, that means, yes, I'm sorry, Roxas and Xion aren't gonna share their first kiss since they're still in that…well…what do we call that phase? You know, when two of your friends are awfully close to the point of being a couple but when someone started calling them out, they'll deny it saying 'we're just friends', yeah Roxas and Xion are in that phase. And without further ado enjoy the story guys ;D.
Roxas and Xion walked down the path of Twilight Town. Ever since the war is over and Sora returned from Quadratum everything was peaceful with Roxas, Xion, Lea and Isa living together in Old Mansion of Twilight Town while getting frequent visits from the other Guardians of Light, the former member of Organization XIII, the Foretellers and more. Everyone couldn't have been happier.
"So…Xion…" Roxas asked. "There anything else you want to do? It's up to you."
"Well…we could always hang out at the clock tower but I was thinking of trying a different place to hang out."
"Sure, what do you have in mind Xi-xi?"
"I don't know…you know what? How about you Rox? There any place you want to go?"
"I'm fine with anything."
"But you always let me pick. Why don't you pick a place for once?"
"Well…I…uh…"
As they were walking the two noticed a bench and a vending machine not far from them.
"Uhm…want to sit the-" Roxas asked.
"Sure," Xion cut him off before taking his hand with her causing Roxas to blush.
The two then sat down on the bench.
Roxas sighed contently. "My feet could use some rest."
"Yeah, me too," Xion said as she smiled.
There was an awkward silence between them with the two sitting awfully close to each other, not knowing what to say to each other. Roxas fidgets with his jacket while Xion plays with her hair.
"Y-you look good in heels Xion," Roxas spoke up.
"O-oh really? Th-thanks" Xion stuttered as she slightly blushed. "Well, you look very h-handsome today too."
"Oh…uh…thanks!" Roxas replied as he also blushed slightly. "You…look pretty today too."
Xion's face felt like it was heating up. "Th-tha-thanks Roxas."
There was an awkward silence again. What was wrong with them? Why were they like this?! They're best friends after all yet it felt like they can't manage to start a conversation with each other. Also, something feels funny deep down in their chest that they can't really describe. What is with them?! After a good few minutes Roxas spoke up again.
"You know…we've…come a long way from where we were."
This caused Xion to look at him. "Yeah, we did."
"I admit things can get a bit boring from time to time without any baddies like Xehanort, Luxu or the Masters of Masters to fight," Roxas said.
"This coming from a boy who just wants peace and quiet and doesn't want anything to do with the Keyblade," Xion said in a teasing tone.
"Hey I said a bit," Roxas retorted. "Besides, how can I protect you and my friends if I don't have a Keyblade?"
"Hey don't worry, I have a Keyblade too you know," Xion reminded. "I can handle myself too."
"But…I still want to protect you too Xi-xi…"
Xion smiled. "Thank Roxas, and I'll promise I'll protect you too."
"Yeah!" Roxas said with a big smile as he took Xion's hand with both his hands as he brought it up. "I'll be by your side no matter what Xion."
Xion nodded as she her other hand to Roxas'. "Me too."
Then without warning Roxas embraced Xion, wrapping his arms around her neck surprising the girl, but she didn't mind as Xion returned the hug as they blushed again.
'So…warm,' the two said in their minds.
They don't know why but they just want stay like this forever, drinking in each other's presence and embrace. But unbeknownst to them they were being watched by Sora, Kairi, Riku, Naminé, Hayner, Pence, Olette, Ventus, Lea, Isa along with Ava.
"Come on just KISS already!" Lea said in an angry hushed tone as he gritted his teeth in annoyance.
"Calm down Lea, the two are taking this slow," Naminé reminded.
"Naminé is right," Ava added. "They'll get there soon enough."
"I know, but…ugh, it's just that they've been at it after the fight with Luxu and the Masters of Masters. I told them about it but they still kept on denying and denying and denying. Either they're completely oblivious for some reason or they're just want to keep it a secret. Ugh, just thinking about it frustrates me."
Roxas and Xion let go of the hug as they smiled at each other.
"Hey, why don't I buy you a drink?" Roxas said.
"Huh?"
Roxas stood up and went over to the vending machine as Xion followed him. Roxas pulled out his wallet, taking out a coin as he put it in the slot.
"What drink would you like?" Roxas asked.
"Hmm…how about you pick?" Xion suggested.
"Alright then."
He pressed one of the numbers causing the machine to drop it on the port. He pushed the window port as he gave a can to Xion. She smiled as she knows what this drink is.
"Thought you might like it," Roxas said with a wink.
The girl smiled again. "Thanks, Roxas."
The Guardians of Light and the Twilight Town gang smiled at Roxas of being such a gentleman to her. Lemonade was always Xion's favorite. Roxas then put the coin in the vending machine slot again as he picked the same drink as Xion. The two continued their stroll drinking their lemonades as they go.
"That's our Roxas," Sora said with a smile, proud of his adopted brother. The others agreed.
"Come on, let's follow," Ven said.
"Thought I might find you guys here," a voice came behind them.
They looked behind them and saw Liana, Lea's girlfriend. She has long hair with the color red similar to Lea with black colored eyes along with black skirt and a red shirt.
"Hey babe," Lea said.
"Everything is set back at the mansion. Just waiting for the time so the party can start. Sorry it took a while. Gotta help Aqua and Invi prepare the food.
"No worries Liana. At least you're here now," Olette assured her.
"Thanks. So, are they together yet?" Liana asked.
Lea sighed. "Nah, not yet sadly."
"Really? This is getting old."
"You can say that again," Ven said.
"You could even say that it'll take years," Riku lightly joked.
"Hey why don't you join us, it'll be fun. Pleaaaaase…" Lea begged.
"Alright, alright," Liana assured him. "No need to be such a drama queen. I don't have anything to do back at the mansion anyway."
"Yes!" Lea exclaimed as he hugged his girlfriend.
"Shhhhhh," the others told him.
"Quite will you, or else we'll get caught," Isa chastises him.
"Sorry," Lea said as he let go of Liana.
"But we shouldn't be out for too long," Liana reminded them. "We don't want to miss the party now do we?"
For the next few minutes, they followed Roxas and Xion wherever they go from the town square, to the station, to basically everywhere in Twilight Town. Finally, Roxas and Xion arrived at a field in Sunset Hill as they sat by each other staring at the sunset.
The group watched from afar as to not be easily seen by Roxas and Xion.
"Looks like these two pick a good spot to have a date," Kairi said.
"Yeah," Sora agreed. "We should all get together here next time."
Back with Roxas and Xion the two continued to stare at the sunset.
Roxas gave a sigh. "Should've brought sea salt ice cream for this."
"It's ok Roxas. There's always a next time."
"Yeah…well at least I get to hang out with you."
"Yup," Xion said giving him a smile.
Roxas looked at his watch. "Whoa, we better get back Xion. Party's gonna start soon."
Xion nodded. "Sure."
Roxas got up as he offered a hand to Xion to which she accepts. He was about to leave but suddenly tripped as he fell on top of Xion as the two were about to fall. Roxas then instinctively wrapped both his arms around Xion as he switched positions so that Roxas would fall to the ground instead of Xion. The two grunted as they fell to the ground.
"You alright?" Roxas asked.
"I'm fine," Xion said.
Suddenly, the two realized where they are now. Xion was on top of Roxas with their faces close from one another. The two stared at each other as they blushed furiously while the group watching from afar looked surprise.
"OH MY GOSH!" Liana shrieked in a hushed tone.
"Come on kiddos, just kiss already just KISS!" Lea exclaimed but of course not very loud.
"Make your move guys," Kairi encouraged.
"So close," Sora said in anticipation.
"Please, please, please, please, please," Olette begged.
Riku, Naminé, Hayner, Pence, Isa, Ven and Ava watched in anticipation. Both Roxas and Xion looked away from each other in embarrassment.
"W-w-we should go," Xion stammered.
"Y-yeah, yeah…let's."
The two then silently walked away before disappearing out of the group's sight. Sora, Ven, Hayner, Pence, Olette, Liana and Ava all groaned in disappointment with Naminé, Isa and Riku only looked on in disappointment. Lea meanwhile clutched out both hands on his head as he gave a deep sigh.
"THEY WERE SO CLOSE!" Liana exclaimed.
"I know right?" Olette agreed.
"It was just mere inches from their faces!" Ven added.
"That was so perfect for the two," Sora said.
Kairi sighed. "Guess it's next time."
"Lea, you alright?" Isa asked.
They all looked at the red haired Keyblade wielder. His expression looked like as if someone just broke his favorite toy.
"Hey, it's alright honey," Liana assured his lover. "Like what Kairi says. There's always a next time."
"She's right," Naminé said. "Maybe now is not the right time for them."
Lea just sighed. Liana then gave him a peck on his cheek causing him to smile at her.
"By the way, we should head back," Ava said. "The party will start soon."
The party went smoothly as the Guardians of Light, Ava, Invi, Gula, the former members of Organization XIII, along with Strelitzia, Mikey, Donald and Goofy celebrated happily. Minutes later Cloud, Tifa, Zack, Aerith, Cid, Yuffie, Squall, Rinoa and the rest arrived, including the Gullwings, Tidus, Wakka, Selphie, Skuld, Ephemer and Brain. Yen Sid and Ansem the Wise meanwhile were busy studying and understanding the Book of Prophecies with Even, Ienzo, Fairy Godmother and Merlin while Ira and Aced helped them. Lea stood in the corner of the mansion as he sees everyone laughing, eating, drinking, playing and talking. He looked on in disappointment, thinking back to Roxas and Xion. Lea gave a huge sigh.
"Axel, is something wrong?" Roxas' voice called.
He turned to see Roxas and Xion looking at him worried.
"I'm fine kiddos. Why'd you ask?"
"Well, you look like someone stole your ice cream," Xion said.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. It's nothing serious," Lea reassured them before giving the two a hug while ruffling their hair.
"You sure?" Xion asked as she and Roxas looked up to Lea.
Lea just smiled. "I'm more than sure."
He then kissed Roxas and Xion on their foreheads for an extra reassurance. The two smiled at their big brother figure as they let go of the hug and Roxas and Xion went back to join the others in the party. He looked on to see whenever Roxas and Xion were asked if they're officially together, the two would deny while they blushed while the others just laughed. The red haired Keyblade wielder sighed again. This is gonna take forever.
