Chapter Four: Rainy Days

Naminé pulled the bedroom curtains opened and stared outside. "Is it still raining?" she sighed hoping to wake up in a bright and sunny morning. A week a passed since the event at the beach and it's mid-way through July. Since the past week, rain took over the summer weather, which left the beaches deserted, forcing everyone to stay at home. Naminé just woke up and yawned slightly as she fell back on the bed.

She turned to face the boy sleeping soundly beside her. "Wake up, Roxas." she poked his cheek. He grunted slightly and continued sleeping. "Hopeless." She laid on her back and faced the ceiling. "It's so boring. Roxas you little prick, wake up… I know!" Naminé's lips formed a small grin as she pinched his nose.

Roxas got up immediately due to the lack of oxygen and his eyed landed on the girl beside him. "Naminé!"

"Finally." She sat up facing him.

"What was that for?"

"I'm bored. Now that you're awake, I have someone to talk to."

"What! You deprive me of air because you're bored!" Roxas fell back on the bed as he pulled the blanket over him. "I'm going to sleep again. Go and talk to the others."

"It's eight in the morning and everyone is still sleeping." she crossed her arms.

"Then come back to bed." he pulled her down.

"No!" she retorted. "Roxas!" she laughed as Roxas started tickling her sides. "Stop it!"

"Naminé, the tough girl, is ticklish?" Roxas snickered as he continued his revenge for waking him up.

"Stop!" Naminé continued laughing uncontrollably as tears escaped her eyes.

Roxas did stop and sat up. "So, are you still bored?" he sneered.

"Bastard." Naminé threw him a pillow and got up. "I'm going to eat breakfast now." she stated and walked away.

"That Roxas, I should have just left him there sleeping." Naminé thought to herself and started opening a few cupboards. She grabbed a bowl, a spoon, the bottle of milk and opened a box of cereal. She stayed in the kitchen for a while eating her food.

"How nice of you to make breakfast for me," Roxas smiled taking her bowl away from her and ate.

"Hey that's mine!" Naminé yelled and tried to reach for her bowl, but Roxas moved too swiftly.

"You take my air, I take your food!" Roxas blurted as he took another spoon in his mouth.

"Why you!" Naminé started playing with his hair, messing it as much as she could.

"Hey! Not the hair!"

"No problem!" Naminé smiled as she grabbed the bowl from his hands and started eating again.

"Jeez, any louder and you two will wake up the whole neighborhood." Hayner yawned entering the kitchen to make himself a cup of coffee.

"Aww, you two are sharing food! How sweet!" Olette giggled as she followed behind Hayner.

"He stole it actually." Naminé glared.

--xx--

"Still raining?" Sora sighed as he sat back at the couch. Everyone was currently in the living room watching whatever they can find on the television.

"Yeah, I was hoping it would have ended by lunch, but guess not." Roxas sat beside him.

"The weather's being ridiculous. We've been staying in this house for days now, doing who knows what." Olette complained.

"Speaking of lunch, there is nothing to eat." Riku informed after leaving the kitchen. "The cereal we ate this morning was practically our last supply of food."

"Really!" Kairi sank lower in her chair.

"Well, I'm broke. I don't have money on me right now unless I visit the bank." Naminé replied. Everyone else agreed with her, stating that they're broke as well.

"Not everyone's broke." Sora mischievously grinned. "I know Riku has money and since he told us about the food, I think he should go grocery shopping."

"What! Stop going through my things!" Riku chased him.

"So you do have money!" Sora laughed running around.

"You tricked me!"

"Yeah. Riku maybe you should go grocery shopping!" Kairi stopped him and held his arm. Roxas soon glared due to jealousy.

"We'll go with you!" Olette suggested, tugging Hayner's arm. "Plus we can rent out some movies."

"Are you coming, Kairi?" Riku asked.

"You wouldn't want me out in the rain, now do you?" Kairi looked deeply into his eyes, telling him that she's going to stay wherever Roxas is.

Sora and Riku just rolled their eyes. "Sure, I'll get going then." Riku answered.

Hayner, Olette and Riku grabbed their coats, umbrellas, pocket money and soon exited the house, leaving Roxas, Naminé, Kairi and Sora alone in with nothing to do.

"So, what should we do while we wait?" Naminé asked.

"Um," Kairi began.

"Uh…" Sora added.

"We could play the Super Smash Bro. Melee on the Gamecube, since PS2 games are only two-players." Roxas insisted.

"Sure." they all agreed and grabbed a controller. Roxas then popped in the game and they all started playing.

--xx--

"I'm losing!" Roxas cried out pressing the buttons, trying to make attack combos as fast as he could. "Naminé, how could you!"

"It is girls against boys and you boys suck!" Naminé stuck her tongue out.

"I never thought this game would be so fun!" Kairi cheered.

"Kairi, stop sucking up my Marth up with your Kirby!" Sora whined.

"You caught me off guard! It's been a while since I've played this game and I need to get used to it!" Roxas kept bickering with Naminé.

"What an excuse you wimp!" Naminé laughed.

"That's seven to nothing again!" Kairi exclaimed giving Naminé a high five and the two boys mumbled curses under their breath.

"Anyway, I'm thirsty." Naminé got up and started walking.

"Me too." Kairi left as well.

"Thanks for the fun game, guys!" Naminé chuckled.

"They're destroying men's egos here!" Roxas grunted.

"For sure." Sora agreed.

"Grand Theft Auto?" Roxas flashed him the game.

"No problem." Sora replied and they started playing.

--xx--

After a few more hours, Hayner, Olette and Riku came with bags of groceries in both hands. "We're home!" Olette exclaimed.

"Wow, it's practically almost dinner!" Roxas came up to them lending a helping hand and Sora followed.

"Hey guys!" Kairi greeted with Naminé behind her. "What took you guys so long?"

"Hayner and Olette couldn't decide on the movie." Riku replied.

"So what movies did you guys rent?" Naminé asked.

"We got Saw II and The Benchwarmers." Olette showed them.

"Oh fun!" Sora beamed.

"Before the movies we should eat first. I'm starving." Roxas held his stomach.

"You and Naminé should cook this time!" Hayner patted his back.

"Hayner, you know Roxas and I never cooked anything for college, so why cook now?" Naminé pointed out.

"I bought you guys a cook book so it shouldn't be that bad!" Olette grinned and pushed them into the kitchen. "You guys better be quick because we're all hungry!"

--xx--

"How did we get ourselves into this mess?" Naminé rubbed her head in frustration.

"Your best friend is the one who dragged us here." Roxas moaned.

"And your best friend is the one who suggested we cook in the first place!" Naminé argued and began flipping through the pages. "What should we cook anyway?"

"Something easy. We're not exactly experts in the kitchen." Roxas replied.

"These dishes look so hard to make!" Naminé passed the book over to Roxas.

"Um, we could make Japanese curry. All we need are vegetables, meat and we already have a pre-made soup base." Roxas suggested, pointing to the recipe.

"Okay."

--xx--

"How do you think they're doing back there?" Hayner whispered.

"They're probably still deciding what to cook at this rate." Olette spoke softly.

--xx--

"My eyes!" Naminé cried as she chopped onions.

"Ouch, my finger!" Roxas yelped while cutting carrots. "I'm only doing this for you, Kairi!"

"This is not as easy as we thought!" Naminé sniffed and started cutting the beef and potatoes.

"I know what you mean." Roxas washed his small cut.

"Ah, hot, hot, hot!" Naminé screamed as the boiling water suddenly splashed on her arm. She then placed all the meat to cook along with the vegetables.

"Uh, Naminé, how do you cook rice?" Roxas asked.

"How should I know?" Naminé replied while reading the book, attempting to follow the procedures.

"Okay then." Roxas shrugged and added a few cups of rice in the rice cooker.

--xx--

"Should we check up on them?" Kairi suggested.

"I don't think I smell anything burning." Olette sniffed.

"We can't be too sure about that." Hayner added.

"Just to be sure, I'll see how they're doing." Sora walked into the kitchen. "Hey guys!" he greeted Roxas and Naminé.

"Hey!" Naminé waved.

"Naminé, your pot is overflowing!" Sora gasped as he turned down the heat avoiding any water that's started splashing.

"Oh my gosh! I didn't notice!" Naminé panicked.

"Hey what's the popping sound?" Sora asked nervously. "Popcorn?"

"That's the rice cooking. I didn't know rice popped when it cooks." Roxas said.

"Because it doesn't!" Sora ran to the rice cooker that now contained a mix of brown and black rice.

"Oh…" Roxas scratched his head.

"What's going on here?" Kairi burst into the kitchen.

"Help, please?" Roxas and Naminé begged.

--xx--

"That was delicious." Riku complimented. They were all cleaning in the kitchen, washing their plates and what not.

"Thanks to Sora and Kairi," Roxas informed.

"Yeah, we know." Hayner laughed.

"We probably would have burned the house down if it wasn't for their help." Naminé sighed.

"Someone just needs to teach you guys how to cook." Kairi smiled.

"You are right about that." Naminé placed her head down.

"Hey, no more sulking. Let's go watch the movie now!" Olette clasped her hands and everyone followed her into the living room.

"What movie should we watch first?" Kairi asked.

"Let's watch the horror movie." Roxas grinned.

"No way! Too scary!" Naminé protested.

"It'll be fun!" Roxas carried Naminé on to the single chair with her on his lap. Kairi fumed and sat on the large couch between Sora and Riku who placed his arm on her shoulders. Hayner placed the movie in the DVD player and sat back with Olette on the floor.

"Roxas, pass me that pillow!" Naminé demanded.

"Why?"

"So I can hide myself during the scary scenes." Naminé shivered.

"You have me!" Roxas proudly declared.

"Hush, love birds!" Olette glared. "The movie is starting."

In some of the scenes, Naminé would cling on to Roxas while Kairi would grab both Riku and Sora's arm, but leaned on to Sora's shoulder who buried his faced into a pillow.

The movie played for some time and once in a while a scream or yell would be either released from Naminé, Kairi and even Sora. The movie soon ended and Hayner was about to switch the movie until all the power went out.

"AHH!" Naminé, Kairi and Sora yelled out.

Riku then turned on his flashlight, "What do you know; this complimentary flashlight keychain actually came in handy."

It was still raining outside and thunder and lightning came startling everyone.

"This too scary!" Naminé held onto Roxas and Kairi did the same with Riku, while Sora still hugged the pillow like a frightened child.

"We should sleep then. The power should be back on tomorrow." Hayner insisted. "Hey Riku, you should lead us to our rooms."

--xx--

"Roxas, AHH!" Naminé squeaked while hugging Roxas.

"Naminé, just try to get some sleep, will you?" Roxas yawned as he closed his eyes.

"I can't!" Naminé perked up a little when another lightening stroke.

"You were never scared of thunderstorms so what's wrong?" he asked.

"Well that movie was terrifying and this storm is not making it any better!" Naminé cried out.

Roxas sighed. He really couldn't sleep with someone sobbing beside him. Instead he decided to have a little fun. Naminé was currently under his arms until he let out a, "Boo!"

"AHH!" Naminé leaped out of the bed. "You're a jerk, Roxas!" she stormed out of the room.

"I was only kidding!" he followed after her.

Naminé burst into Olette and Hayner's room and laid between them. "What the?" Hayner shifted slightly.

"Naminé?" Olette opened her eyes and noticed a third body in their bed.

"Come on, Naminé. I was only playing." Roxas tried to convince her.

"No! I'm sleeping here!" Naminé dug her face on the pillows.

"Enough with your pranks Roxas, people are trying to sleep here." Hayner yawned.

"Naminé, please?" Roxas begged.

"Go on, Naminé. We don't exactly all fit this bed." Olette told her.

"Fine." she gave up and got up. "Roxas if you ever do that again, see what I'll do to you."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." he closed the door behind them and walked back to their room.

"Those two," Hayner groaned.

"I know." Olette chuckled and closed her eyes.

A/N: There's chapter four. Roxas and Naminé are too cute. Hehe, I made Sora a little scaredy-cat. He was too fun to mess with. :D
