I want you to be Happy

"Thanks Mickey!" the four waved as the mouse waved back driving the train back to town. They arrived at the Sunset Hill train station finally after so many moments of silence.

"So where are we going to you guys?" Kairi spoke up with a smile as she turned around to find that Namine and Roxas were gone. "Eh?"

…

"Wow! Look at the view from up here Roxas!" Namine stared in awe and happily opened her messenger bag to reveal notebooks, sketchbooks, and colored pencils. "I'm so glad I brought this along with me."

The blond boy smiled sitting down beside her staring at the view below them. "It really is nice and peaceful up here. Plus, we should give Kairi and Sora some time alone."

She stopped sketching for a moment and paused. "Sora told me he was really going to tell Kairi the truth today."

"Oh is he?" he asked with interest as he gazed at Namine. "I would've thought that he did that a long time ago, considering that the three of us are-"

She nodded not needing to hear the rest of the sentence. "I know, I can't tell if this is good or bad news for Kairi. It's really frightening to know the answer."

…

Back to the two who were left at the train station, for the past few minutes, it was all nothing but silence. It seemed to be their theme of the week. Silence.

She heard a sigh from Sora after a while, and was tempted to look at him, but didn't. His hand suddenly grabbed hers as they started walking away. "Wha?… Sora?" Feeling the warmth of his hand has been a while. She blushed slightly squeezing his hand back happily.

"There's no use in wasting our tickets here, we should probably start using them now." he muttered without turning back. "Besides, I have a feeling that Roxas and Namine are together somewhere."

She giggled at his expression. "Are you sad that they got together?"

He shrugged. "In a way kind of. I'm glad that they finally got over it and all, but then it means that I won't be hanging around Roxas as much as before."

She never took much thought about that. "Now that you mentioned it. Do you think that Namine would do the same to me?" as he let go of her hand for a moment to order something.

"Probably." he responded, but seeing the sudden sadness on her face, made him regret what he just said. "Hey, if that happens, you can always hang out with me." he grinned taking the two sea salt ice creams from the vendor. "Thanks."

Handing her one, she took it and stared at him. "Sea Salt Ice Cream?"

He looked at her worryingly. "What? I can get another one if it isn't enough."

She laughed and shook her head. "No not that. I just didn't think you wanted dessert at this time." as she unwrapped the wrapper and threw it away.

"Of course! You know me Kairi, I thought you would've gotten used to it by now." he teased and ate his slowly.

"Seriously, you're never going to get a girl to date you if you're going to keep eating on this kind of diet." she added as she made a small sour face. "I'm gonna have a brain freeze."

He chuckled at her reaction to eating the ice cream. "I forgot, you haven't had this before." and started walking with Kairi trailing behind him. After they both finished, they began exploring the area seeing the view of Sunset Hill.

The redhead leaned on the wooden fence as she looked over the ocean and the sunset in view. She didn't know what to say at the moment, and she was getting tired of always dealing with the silence. Being quiet wasn't her thing. "Sora?" she spoke softly.

"Mm?" and looked at her, but she turned away in embarrassment. He cocked his head to the side in wonder. "What is it?"

Looking down, she muttered. "Sora, do you like anyone? As in love someone?"

He took this question hard to answer. More like to explain since he had a pretty long story. "Yeah, I do. But I'm afraid that the girl I like doesn't like me back."

Her heart was beating nervously. "Really?"

"There's more to it. Even if we do end up being together, I don't know if we would last very long." he mumbled, but Kairi heard every word.

"Sora…" she whispered taking his hand softly. She smiled sincerely looking at him. "I don't care if you don't feel the same as I do, but I really like you. I hope that the girl you like will accept your feelings." she let go and began walking away from him.

"What if the person I like is you?" he answered back making her stop walking. He stood behind her, his hands on her shoulders. "Kairi, there is something I think you should know. We both like each other, but…I won't be staying here on Destiny Islands with you and the others anymore."

"W-What?!" she almost exclaimed as she turned around to see if he was joking like how Roxas was with Namine. "Y-you're joking right?" as she began trembled slightly to hear this.

He sighed knowing this was going to take a while. "Kairi. I'm going to school in Twilight Town with Namine and Roxas. The three of us are leaving the island since summer is almost over."

She stood frozen on her spot. Summer. Summer was ending. She couldn't take that idea in so easily. She just remembered taking a summer job. She met Namine. She helped Namine and got to know Roxas. Then there was Sora. The four of them. Friends. "You're leaving." she repeated.

"Yes."

Her voice quivered. "W-When?"

She heard him breathe deeply and sigh. "Tomorrow."

"T-Tomorrow?!" she gasped. "B-But…that's too soon!"

"I know." he nodded. It wasn't the fact that he was leaving soon that ticked her off. It was the part about how he could be so calm about this.

She didn't say anything. She couldn't bring any words out. She couldn't stop him from. Leaving. Leaving her. "You knew…Namine and Roxas knew…and you guys didn't tell me?"

"I'm really sorry, I didn't want you to know."

Kairi shook her head not wanting to hear any more of it.

The Next Day

"Kairi, you're friends are leaving today, aren't you going to see them off?" she heard her mother knock on her door a few times.

The redhead continued to lay on her bed muffling out a no to her mom and that she would call them later anyways. "They lied to me…They're leaving…" she kept repeating. "They all knew it the whole time…" more tears began to flow. "What am I going to do?……."
