Many guys don't exactly like shopping with their girlfriends/wives. Sora doesn't mind though, being himself. So when he joins Kairi, how will he react when things don't go as he expected?
Hours later
"Are you sure you're okay, Sora?" Kairi asked him, smiling, even though she knew exactly what was eating him.
He chuckled, lifting up the laundry basket with little effort (it was his turn to do it), smiling back. "I'm sure, Kairi" he said, sorting through both of their clothes.
"At least he didn't promise something he knew he couldn't" she thought, touched. Just as she was about to say something else, the phone rang, so she stood up straight. "I'll get that" she said, quickly going over to the phone and picking it up.
"Hello?" she said, curious.
"Hey Kairi, how have you been?" came her best friend's voice.
"Namine!" she breathed, a little relieved: she hadn't called for a week. "I'm doing great, but where have you been?"
"I'm so sorry, Kairi" she said, sounding completely apologetic. "But I had to take care of Roxas"
"What?" she said, now worried. "What's happened to him?"
"He had an accident at work" she said, a little sad. "He sprained his ankle really badly... so in addition to my own work, I had to tend to his needs. I lost track of time real easy, and I'm sorry I haven't called earlier"
"At least I know now, but I was worried" she said, breathing out a sigh of relief. "Poor Roxas"
"Yeah" Namine agreed, then she paused. "So how's Sora?"
"The same caring guy I love" she said softly, smiling to herself. "We recently went shopping not hours ago, and-" she started to say, but trailed off.
"And you're starting to want to move your relationship along?" Namine said, her tone serious.
She blushed, stammering. "How did you know that?"
"I didn't. You just told me" she said simply. "But I know how that feels... I would have done the same by now had Roxas not sprained his ankle"
"Oh" she said, not sure what to say next.
"But first, tell me what happened when you went shopping" she said. "I want to know everything, Kairi"
So she held her phone closer to her ear, glancing back toward Sora. She started to tell Namine about what happened, lowering her voice as she did so.
As Sora continued to fold their clothes, he heard Kairi's end of the phone conversation. He smiled when he heard her say Namine's name, knowing the two were best friends; it was because of her that he'd found a friend in Roxas.
He blinked several times when he heard something had happened, presumably to Roxas. He was worried when she confirmed it was Roxas, but he didn't hear what exactly had happened. He blushed a bit when Kairi called him 'the caring guy she loves', then did so further when she mentioned their shopping trip.
But after that, Kairi lowered her voice, and he couldn't make out anything beyond that. So he continued to fold clothes, then he stopped when he picked up one of Kairi's normal panties.
Because he'd been doing laundry a number of times, he'd seen them before, for sure. But thanks to their mutual agreement, he'd steeled himself and ignored it. But now... with that agreement possibly gonna undergo some revisions, he couldn't help but stare.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but eventually, Kairi's voice violently broke him out of his daze. As he saw her quickly coming toward him, he dropped her panties in panic. "What happened?" he said faintly, if only to understand.
"Roxas sprained his ankle at work, and Namine's been taking care of him" she said quickly, standing next to him. "That's why he haven't heard from them this past week... but he's recovering well, and he should be able to stand tomorrow"
"That's just awful" he said, sighing. "Is there anything we can do to help?"
She shook her head, smiling a little. "Namine says she's got it under control" she whispered softly. "But we do have a double-date with them, either tomorrow or the day after, when he's recovered"
He grinned. "That sounds great!" he said, then he tilted his head. "Do you know where?"
She shook her head, rubbing at her red hair. "Not yet, they're still discussing that" she whispered gently. "But she'll call us back"
He held his hands behind his back, smiling his goofy smile. "I can't wait for it" he said simply.
She nodded with a giggle, then she blushed a little, slowly placing her hands behind her back. "Sora" she said simply. "I know you have questions about our mutual agreement... and I want to talk to you about that. Okay?"
With a small blush himself, he nodded. "Okay" he said, then he glanced at the laundry beside him. "But what about...?"
She took his hand, smiling softly. "That can wait" she whispered softly, pulling him along to the couch. "Come on"
When she approached the couch, she gently had Sora lay flat on his back, then she snuggled in beside him. He was surprised, but pleased as well, gently running a finger through her red hair. She sighed in content as she leaned her head against his shoulder, laying against his back, smiling softly.
"So" he said softly, but also a little nervous. "You wanted to talk about our mutual agreement?"
"I do" she breathed, gently touching a kiss to his cheek, her face slowly turning a little red. "We agreed to only kiss and hold hands, in case we didn't work out... but we've been together for a long time now, Sora, and I've truly loved every moment of it"
"Me too" he whispered softly, running his hands through her hair, his breath on her face. "I don't think I've ever had a moment where I wanted to be away from you"
She giggled happily, touching her forehead to his. "Me neither" she whispered softly, her eyes sparkling. "I love you, Sora"
"I love you too, Kairi" he said softly, closing his eyes and kissing her. She didn't object at all; in fact, she enjoyed it.
They kissed for over a full minute, gently panting against each other afterward. With her eyes closed, she heard Sora say "So... if our mutual agreement's different, what's not allowed now?"
She considered carefully for awhile, her heart beating faster. "For now... we can start touching a-and removing each other's clothes" she stammered faintly, half-opening her eyes, her face a bit red. "But no further than our underwear... that includes my bra"
"For now?" he whispered, his fingers playing with hers.
"For now" she said simply, leaning her head against his, gently playing back with her fingers. "It may change later... but for now, that's how it is, so we can take things at our own pace. Are you okay with that?"
"Of course I am" he said sincerly, drawing her forehead to a kiss. "You know me"
She giggled again, nodding. "Yes I do" she whispered softly, then she stopped talking and kissed him.
He was surprised, but he quickly kissed back with passion. Their kiss intensified as she crawled on top of him, wanting to be close, sucking every little taste of his mouth. Later, at the heat of her passion, she added her tongue to the mix.
That set him off after the surprise, and they only got more and more passionate as time went on.
Despite what you may be thinking, that little scene only really lead to intense kissing, nothing more than that ;) Still, hope you all enjoyed it. Next time will involve that double-date Kairi mentioned, with conversations between these four friends (minor fluff included).
