Twelve Days of Christmas
Friendship: RoxasKairi
Rating: T for Tabernacle

Summary: It's December 17th, Roxas and Kairi are spending a nice day together preparing for a surprise for Sora… little do they know he's got a surprise for all of them.

On the fifth day of Christmas my true friends gave to me…

"Roxas, you're not doing it right for the eighteenth time. You fold them like this," the auburn haired girl took the fabric napkin from the blonde's hand and demonstrated once again.

"Why are you making me do this? I get it, Sora's birthday dinner. Why me?" she glared at him.

"Really you must ask? You're his blood and-," he held up his hand to stop her.

"Yeah, yeah I should love him," he folded his forth and final napkin and moved to placing them onto the ornate plates Kairi convinced him to buy yesterday, "But decorative napkins? In the shape of flowers?"

"I thought it would be nice to give him a nice birthday dinner after yesterday," she shook her head remembering the paint gun incident.

"So what are you making for the dinner?"

"Well all day I've been giving him everything his little heart desires."

"Everything?" he suggestively winked and began adding four gold napkin rings to the centers of the napkin flowers.

"No!"

"Oh yeah, those things leave bruises. Did you fix that for him?" he chuckled.

"No!" she picked up a handful of potpourri and threw it at him blushing, "I can't believe you're implying that we… ya know," she grew fluster with her red face.

"Calm down. I was just kidding. What were you saying?" he set out the forks and knives before beginning work on lighting the candles.

"Well I made him a delicious breakfast after staying over last night," she blushed at this, "And we went out to lunch at his favorite place before your girlfriend stole him away again. So to end the day I thought a warm traditional dinner would do: Lemon-Herb Roast Turkey Breast, Double-Cheese Scalloped potatoes, Minted Pea-and-Rice Pilaf and for dessert… Cookies 'n Cream Layer cake."

"Wow…" Roxas stopped mid-light to drool over the thought.

"Hell yeah wow," she snapped her fingers in his face before allowing the match to completely burn down to his fingers.

"Ouch!" the blonde quickly shook it out.

"You are such a guy!"

"I already know, you know Sora is!" he laughed as Kairi whipped a flower at his head.

"What are you getting Namine for today?" she quickly pushed onto another subject.

"It's a surprise."

"What!" she looked appalled, "We're gonna see her at the exact same time in about fifteen minutes."

"Yeah but… you could text her when I'm not looking. Or tell her during dinner."

"Oh so it's an after dinner treat?" she suggestively said chuckling.

"N-No! It's just a little something."

"Just yankin' your chain."

"Shut up!" he finished lighting before he went to his room to change to something more dressy. Kairi was almost already but she had her hair in partial curlers. She went to the bathroom pulling them out and placing them in her obnoxiously large bag and let it fall to look like natural waves. She fixed up her make up and checked her wine red dress of any dirt or dust before packing her beauty supplies into her bag. Just as she finished she heard the door open.

"Well Sora, today was… less disastrous I must say," Namine said at an awkwardly loud volume so that she could relay to Kairi that they were there.

"Why are you talking like that?"

"Like what?" she kept the same volume and odd tone.

"Like you are trying to get someone's attention?" he was obviously not the smartest of the bunch.

"Hey baby!" Kairi waltzed in and leaped to hug the love of her life.

"Hi you," he picked her up, landing a kiss on her scarlet lips.

"Kai, where's Roku?"

"In his room, we'll go chill in the dining room until he's ready. I don't need you two missing dinner," she winked and pushed Namine and Sora into the dressed up room.

"Wow, this is amazing."

"Thanks Nami, you're bf did a bunch," as if on cue, Roxas walked out in a nice dress shirt and slacks as opposed to the wife beater and sweats he was just wearing fifteen minutes earlier.

"Hey!" the blonde girl ran to her new beau.

"Before you get any further with that," she was implying the kiss they had just received from each other, "Let's eat!" the other sat as Kairi danced her way in and out of the kitchen with the meals as the others sat down.

"Kairi, this looks delicious!" Sora complimented each of the dishes.

"Thank you my love."

"Oh, before we eat," Roxas groaned, as he was about to take a big scoop of turkey from his plate, "I want to tell you how happy I am to be here with all me- wait where's Xion and Riku?"

"Ummm they said they had something to do today… whatever that means," Namine chuckled.

"Anyway… I wanted to say I'm glad to have my friends and family with me," he smiled and after a pause Roxas began to slowly move towards his meal but was interrupted by Sora once again, "And there is something I wanted to do in front of all of you guys but since Riku and Xion are here I guess I'll just do it in front of you two," Kairi turned.

"Two? What about me?" he chuckled and reached beneath the lapel of his sport coat.

"Silly, you are part of what I wanted to show in front of them," Sora pushed out his seat and fell to his right knee, pulling out a tiny black box, "Kairi, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me and I can't imagine finding anyone more crazy, amazing, funny, sweet, and all around beautiful. Please say you want to spend the rest of your life with me," he popped the black box open showing a sparking set of three diamonds, the time they had been dating in years, set in a gold band.

"That's what you were hiding from me this whole time!?!" Namine shot out of her seat.

"Shut up and let her answer!" Roxas pulled her into his lap covering her mouth.

"Of course I want to spend the rest of my life with you! I want to spend eternity with you! I want to spend now and forever with you," she hugged him slipping on the ring before kissing him through joyous tears.

"Awww," Namine sighed behind Roxas' hand.

"Congrats bro!"

"Thanks, couldn't have done it without you," Kairi looked stunned.

"Wait what?"

"Why do you think we've been spending the last two days apart?" Sora playfully swept her chin with his hand.

"Oh Sora, you are so romantic!"

"Thank you my love."

"He's just trying to top me ya know. I thought of the gift thing first now he's trying to top me," Namine hit his arm.

"I'm not a romantic guy, but when I want to tell Kairi I love her, I will and Kai, I love you," he kissed her lightly on the lips.

"I love you too, Sora," Kairi smiled and she stared at the beautiful diamond ring sitting on her left ring finger.

…Five golden rings.
