Thirteen Days of Christmas?
Christmas Day
Pairing: Roxas and Namine
Rating: T for True Love

Summary: Namine just has a great feeling about today. And she's right.

It was Christmas morning. The morning that all the children jump out of bed and run downstairs to see what Santa brought them. Even though Namine was twenty-three, she still thought Santa was an amazing creation and often joked around, saying she couldn't wait to get presents from him. It was nearing nine in the morning when Namine ran into Kairi's bedroom and jumped on her bed.

"Kairi! Wake up! It's Christmas!" Namine said, shaking her best friend. Kairi rolled over and glared up at her friend.

"What time is it?" She said, groggily.

"Nine in the morning!" Kairi groaned and threw a pillow over her head.

"Go away."

"Come on! Roxas and Sora will be here soon!" She said, running to the door to get dressed. Kairi shouted after her.

"I doubt it!"

Namine ran to her closet and pulled out a selection of winter clothes. Today was her favorite day, and she had a great feeling about it. Something amazing was going to happen, she knew it. Sora was staying home with Kairi, which we all knew what they were going to do. Roxas said that he was going to take Namine ice skating and walk through the park. And a surprise, which Namine has yet to find out. She decided to wear a pair of black tights with a long white dress sweater. She completed the outfit with a pair of white boots. Pleased with her outfit, Namine exited the room to see Kairi just now making a cup of coffee.

"I can't believe you woke me up this early. How are you awake after that long night last night?" They had stayed at the boys' house for quite some time, sharing stories, mostly with Ven and Aqua and their travels. Riku got some things in too.

"I'm sorry. I'm just excited!" Just as Kairi was going to ask her why, the doorbell rang and Namine squealed and ran to the door, opening it. Sora and Roxas were standing outside with smiles on their faces. Sora had on his dark coat and a black and white Santa hat. Roxas, on the other hand, was completely in his own style. He had on his black coat with a black and white checkered scarf and gloves. To top it off, over his blond, spiky hair, he had on a pair of white earmuffs. It didn't make him look girly, Namine thought. More like sexy.

"Merry Christmas!" The twins shouted, walking in and shaking the snow off of them. Namine smiled and took Sora's coat.

"Merry Christmas. You two play nice!" Namine shouted before taking Roxas's arm and leaving the house.

"So, where are we going first?" Namine asked Roxas as they climbed into his car. Roxas thought for a moment while turning on the heater before answering.

"Well, I figured we would go skating before I take you to see the surprise." He smiled while Namine pouted. "I'm not telling you."

"Fine." She said before smiling at him.

They arrived at the nearest skating rink. They used to go there back when they first started dating, but had stopped since college had prevented them from having dates like that. It wasn't too populated, since it was Christmas morning. Roxas and Namine slid on their ice skates before taking a step on the ice.

"I was never good at this." Namine muttered, trying to keep her balance. Roxas laughed, and started to show off while Namine struggled to stay up. "Meanie!" She called to him, holding her arms out to the side. Roxas skated up quickly and wrapped his arms around her waist as they spun in a circle.

"Who's a meanie?" He whispered into her ear.

"You are." She laughed back, wrapping her arms around his neck. They skated like that for a while, holding hands and goofing around like kids. At one point, Roxas tried to get Namine to skate faster, but ended up making her fall and land on her face.

The two were wrapped up in their own fairy tale romance. You could see the love between them when they looked at each other.

"Where are we going now?" Namine said, pulling off her skates and handing them to Roxas.

"That's the surprise. You won't know until we get there."

"Why can't you tell me?"

"Because, Nam, that would ruin the surprise."

"I don't like surprises."

"And?" Namine huffed and walked to the car. Roxas climbed in after her and shut the door while grinning at her. She stuck her nose up in the air, but laughed while doing it. He pulled out the car before driving down the street. They were headed into the old neighborhood that held their old high school. The two hadn't been down there since graduation. It was where they first met; formally. Namine never talked to Roxas, thinking he was some sort of bad boy that got into loads of trouble. She wasn't too far off either.

But, Roxas had changed. When he met her, he knew he wanted to be with her and would do anything. He purposely changed his ways to they could be together. He grew up from that naive boy into a smart young man, and he didn't regret it. Sure, there was still some bad boy in him, but Namine sort of liked that.

"Wait—where are we going?" Roxas didn't answer her. Instead he parked the car and opened the door for her before walking up a hill. On that hill, there was a single tree. It was the tree that started their romance.

"Kairi, I don't care who this boy is! I want to go home!" Namine yelled. She knew very well who Kairi was trying to set her up with. Roxas. She knew him from high school, but she also knew he wasn't a good boy. He was brothers with Kairi's current boyfriend of a year or so, but she didn't care.

"Get over it. He's a nice boy and he likes you!" Kairi said, pushing her up the hill. With one final push, she pushed Namine into someone standing at the base of a tree filled with multi-colored leaves before dashing down the hill.

"Kairi!" Namine shouted before turning around to meet someone she didn't want to talk to. But, it wasn't what she expected. When she met his eyes, something went through her, but she ignored it.

"Hi." He said in his soft, still a bit boyish voice.

"Hello, Roxas." Namine replied in her high soprano voice.

"Well—this is a bit weird." He said, rubbing the back of his head. He pulled out a white rose before handing it to her. "Um—I know it's a bit high school and cliché, but here. You like white, right?" Namine nodded before taking the rose in her hand.

"Um—thanks." She said, staring at the rose in wonder. "Roxas, Kairi said you 'like' me." Namine was never one to hold back if she wanted to know something.

"Yeah, I do."

"But, you know—I didn't talk to you in high school for a reason."

"I know. I made sure I worked to change those reasons." Roxas turned to the tree and climbed up it, going pretty far up. It was high enough that Namine had to yell for her voice to reach him.

"Roxas! Get down! It's dangerous." In Namine's mind, him doing something this stupid—meant he hadn't changed.

"Not until you agree to go on a date with me!"

"What?!"

"Go out with me! Just one time! Or--" He pretended to fall. Namine screamed.

"Okay! Just—Just get down!" Roxas smirked before climbing down the tree.

"You were such an idiot back then." Namine said, running her hand on the tree nostalgically. Roxas laughed.

"It got you to go out with me, right?"

"To be honest, I was going to dump you after the first date!" Namine said, giggling. Roxas's blue eyes were filled with wonder.

"Why?"

"I didn't like you. My plan was to go on a date and forget you. But--" Namine walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "You made me like you so much." She placed a tender kiss on his lips.

"I'm such a charmer, huh?" She laughed before letting go. Turning back to the tree, she sighed, remembering the memories they had there. They always ended up going back there for a few dates until work got to hectic. It had been a few months since they had been there.

"Can you keep a secret?" She heard Roxas say behind her. Not turning around, she answered him.

"Sure, what is it?" But she got no reply. Wondering why, she turned around just to find Roxas down on one knee, holding open a case with a beautiful ring. "Oh my..."

"Namine—this is where I first asked you out, which started everything. Now, here, I want to ask you this..." Roxas wasn't good with this stuff, and he had a huge smile plastered on his face. "Will you marry me, Namine?"

Namine had tears in her eyes, but they weren't of sadness. They were of joy.

"Of course, idiot!" She pummeled him to the ground.

"Well, I wasn't expecting to be called an idiot..." Roxas said into her hair. Leaning up, so she was inches above his face, she smiled.

"Want me to take it back?"

"You wouldn't."

"Want a bet?" Roxas was silent for a moment.

"Nope! Now, put this ring on before I lose it!" Namine smiled and slipped the black and white diamond ring on her small finger. "Namine Ota..has a nice ring to it."

"Yeah." She placed a kiss on his lips. "It does."
