err not many reviews…but that's okay I guess. I continued anyway. But I do want reviews if you want me to continue to the next chap :

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts… I just own the café, the park, and … some other stuff.


"Well, I'll be going then…" he turned on his heel and his feet munched through the snow.

"Hey, wait a sec!" she took a few steps forward and stumbled, for she was still getting used to walking. "you can't just get involved with my problem and then just walk away pretending like it was nothing!" he stopped as she caught up with him. "Now, what's your name?!"

The boy turned to face her, his silvery long locks shifting with the way of his head. His piercing sharp aquamarine eyes broke through her cold glare. It was as if he was looking deep inside her, which intimidated her a bit, but she never let down her pastel blue eyes. They had a bit of a staring contest before the boy had given into her look. "My name? Riku. Don't forget it." And once again, he began to walk away.

Namine was still baffled because he had so easily given in. She pondered if she should chase him further, and decided to do so seeing as she wanted a companion to walk with. She observed the large imprints that were left in the snow and followed the muscle toned boy. She was a few steps behind him, and it was obvious to the boy that she was trailing behind him. Her actions amused him, and he wanted to know her further.

"And what would be your lovely name?" he asked playfully, with the semi-injured blonde looking up. She stayed silent, but still followed. Riku had a grin still plastered on his rough face while he chuckled out, "You don't have to walk behind me you know. You'll look weird to some people, including me." Namine realized his point and ran up next to him with their steps falling in sync.

Silence shrouded the two as Namine glanced over at the boy. He was still giving off a faint smile that caused a glow on his face to make any girl melt. His eyes were the most powerful part of his countenance. They were a light neon aquamarine color and could see right though you, and through your lies. Namine blushed when she caught herself staring. She looked to the ground and found that the boy had stopped walking. She spun on her heel to face him and gave him a questioning look.

"I never did get your name." He responded, still with that sweet smile on his face, dominant stance, and hands in his jacket pocket. She eyed him warily and the warmth that his jacket was providing for him made her want to shiver – but she didn't. Instead she sucked it up and responded, "My name, is Namine, and don't you forget it." She tilted her head forward to make her statement more menacing.

This just amused Riku all the more while he replied, "I like that name; it's unique." Namine blushed at the compliment, adding more pink to her face. Riku seemed to notice, "I told you you'd catch a cold…" He reached to open a door handle with warmth striking Namine's bare hand. He waited for her to enter first and he then followed her inside.

Namine smelled the familiar vanilla scent and heard the tiny bell clink. She knew where they were; the café.


I heard the bell clink, and I shifted my eyes to see who had come through the door. To my surprise, it was her again. I was anxious for her return, but at the same time I was frightened at her reaction when she'd see me. Would she reject me? Welcome me with open arms? My brown haired companion had noticed my new demeanor and turned his head to what I was facing. His lips formed a small 'O' shape and he gave me a bittersweet smile.

I was going to talk to her. But before I had fully risen from my seat, the sight of another caught my eye. He came up to her with a brisk happiness, talking as if they'd known each other already. I thought to myself, 'he must be a new customer, nothing to worry about…' Oh, but I did worry. She responded to his statement as if she expected him to talk to her.

I quickly sat back down, which put a look of confusion on my friend's face. He could see, not only in my actions, but through my eyes that something – not just the presence of her, but something else – was wrong. He saw the two who had entered conversing with each other, and then came Kairi to add to the conversation.


"Don't you think this feels a lot better then the outside?" Riku asked.

"Yeah, it is." She responded quietly while scanning the area of the café. She was relieved when she saw Kairi busy with a few other customers and released a breath she was holding. Then realizing the coincidence of her situation she asked the boy: "Why'd you bring me here?"

"Technically you followed me here." He said smirking. Before Namine could retaliate, Kairi had walked over to their area.

She was surprised that Namine had come back with a boy, but decided to question her about that later. Instead she greeted her friend how she normally would. "Welcome back Namine. Who's your friend?"

"Hey Kairi, this is Riku. I met him while I was walking around…" Namine looked at the ground, she felt odd with Kairi having discovered her. She knew she was going to have an ear-full of this later, but at the time she'd just listened as Riku and Kairi had exchanged smiles and done some small talk.

"So Riku, is it okay if I take my friend? We do have to get back to work." Kairi said politely, while chaining her arm with Namine's.

"Sure, I'm sorry I kept you from your jobs. I was just about to leave anyway."

"A-are you sure you wouldn't want any coffee, before you uh, leave?" Namine mentally whacked herself for stuttering.

"Maybe next time." And he walked out the door, but not before flashing Namine a smile.


I was soon dragged into the employee lounge, by none other than Miss Kairi herself. I knew that I wouldn't be able to dodge her questions forever, but she could've waited…

"Namine does he like you?!" Kairi said totally spazzed out. I knew it was a rhetorical question so stayed silent to listen to her speech. "I think he does! Oh, and you were so shy in front of him –"etcetera, etcetera… 'Jeez Kairi, way to point out someone's mistakes.' I inhaled a deep breath and put on a bored expression. I swear Kairi could get just as wrapped up as Selphie in this whole love affair business. Although, Kairi wouldn't go to drastic measures as Selphie would, but she would of course blab on about it.

"– Namine? Were you listening?" Kairi said, irritated.

"Yes Kairi, I heard what you said…" I responded monotonously.

"Well?" The pink-clad teen had leaned in, anxious for an answer.

"I don't know Kai! I mean, I just met the guy…" I said as I drummed my fingers together with a curve to my mouth. "and he'll never replace him. He just can't! And I'm not sure if I'm ready to get back to the dating-game."

"Namine, you were always ready!" Kairi admitted while I gave her a disbelieving look. "Okay, maybe not always, but you could start now. I mean, sure, no guy is replaceable, but every guy makes a change in you." Kairi looked me straight in the eye. "And yes, you've changed, but good or bad, you just gotta take it Nam, and that's the same with the dating-game."

I stayed quite, for I was contemplating on her words and on what I should say next. Though, Kairi had thought she said enough and walked passed me to get back to work. I just sat there in the lounge and after a while thinking, 'this isn't coming out of my paycheck is it...?'


I bid my brown haired companion a goodbye as we walked down the street our separate ways. He walked towards the neighborhood in which we both once lived, while I went downtown to the apartment buildings. His and my parents were great family friends; there was never a day when we hadn't known each other. I smiled reminiscently at some fond memories, but those times were so long ago.

As I recall, my memories with her were the most enjoyable. I walked through the snowy sidewalk, kicking up some snow as I went. I turned my head to the left, where the setting sun shone through buildings and restaurants. Looking at the bright, orange sphere, and the pink background put a twinkle to my eye. The scene reminded me of her; she was warm, welcoming, sweet, and the one person I'd always want to be with at the end of the day. Then I thought about what I had seen at the café. My brow furrowed as I replayed the scene over and over, thinking immensely about it. I took in a breath big enough to make my shoulders rise. It's a calming gesture I do when I have troubling thoughts.

I looked up to see the tall hotel building I was staying at. Sora had offered his house to stay at and I would've gladly obliged, but I hadn't. I suppose I just wanted to live in solitude for the next few days. He was understanding of my reasons and also promised to keep my presence a secret. I walked through the double doors of the building and took the elevator up to my suite.

Once I had opened the door to my room I stripped myself of the bulky winter apparel I was wearing and ended up with my jeans and a black T-shirt. I began to organize my things and once again I thought of her. Ever since I met her I had known her as nothing but organized. She would sometimes scold me when we were back in high school for my messy surroundings. After I was done hanging my clothes in silence, I plopped on the bed in the center of the room. I snagged my cell phone from the side table near the bed and slid it up and down continuously (it was a sliding phone).

I was bored, but at the same time deep in thought about my situation. I laid there for a long time on the bed with my right arm occupied with my phone, and my left arm beside my head. When I finally decided what to do, I brought my phone up to my face and searched for a friend on speed dial. I called the number and waited for someone to pick up.


The phone rang vigorously in my pocket and I took it out. I hadn't checked to see who it was, but when I answered I knew immediately.

"Hello?" I answered innocently.

"Hey, it's me."

x-o-x-o

Don't go, don't leave,

I want you to stay.

Don't run, don't stray
