I'm back, yo. Yep, gonna update now. So I'll stop talking.

Disclaimer: -sigh-...must I say it again? I don't own Kingdom Heart II. I also don't own any movies mentioned.

Chapter 7: Romance with a Horror Movie

"Hey Namine," I said.

She looked up. "Yeah?" We were still sitting at a bench in the park. We were being awfully quiet. Namine had been staring at the crows for quite some time, and I had a feeling she wanted to draw them. Sometimes, Namine would draw the most random things.

"Umm, don't you think it's weird that you're going to be sleeping over?" I asked. "I mean, I'm a boy..and you're a girl."

"I know that." Namine said. "Do you find it weird? If you do, I don't have to come over." She said. "It's just..lately, my mom's been ignoring me and going out with Cloud. So she's probably going tonight."

"Oh. I understand." I nodded. It was getting late. The night was coming. "So, you're not going to ask?"

"No. What's the point? She is always gone at night." Namine said, frowning.

"Oh."

An uncomfortable silence followed. Namine wasn't watching the crows anymore. She was staring at her feet. I looked at her, but she looked downward. I frowned. I hated it when Namine was feeling sad. I looked up and saw one of the crows. Looks like it gave up on the pizza. I glanced back at Namine.

"Oh no," I said quietly as I realized she was crying. "Namine..."

"I..I'm not crying." Namine declared. She still wouldn't look at me. I didn't reply, I just placed my arm around her shoulder and pulled her toward me.

She looked surprised at first but then she relaxed. She smiled, and wiped away her tears. My face heated up a little, as she rested her head on my shoulder.

"Thank you," Namine whispered.

"No problem." I replied, smiling.

After a while, I suddenly heard a gasp. Looking over I saw a familiar brunette and her grinning mischievous-looking boyfriend. Olette and Hayner.

Namine lifted her head and looked where I was looking. We glanced at each other. Then we both separated ourselves and blushed.

"What was going on here?" Hayner asked, grinning widely.

"Yeah, what was going on?" Olette asked, grinning as widely as Hayner.

"Nothing!" Namine and I both shouted at the same time.

"Hehe, your lying! Tell me!" Olette said, grabbing Namine's shoulders. "Did Roxas make out with you?"

"No!" Namine yelled, blushing furiously.

"Hey Rox, did you get your first kiss?" Hayner teased.

"No! Shut up, Hayner!" I yelled, feeling my face become red. He must have been getting me back from the time when I was teasing Olette about the kiss in the hallway. She probably told him what I did.

Hayner and Olette were laughing their heads off. I sighed and shook my head. I suppose this is what friends do. Make fun of their other friend's love life. "Hey Rox! Why don't you-" I cut Hayner off by shoving him to the ground.

"Hayner, you shouldn't be talking. What were you guys doing out here? An innocent little walk in the park?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Scratch the innocent," Namine said, laughing.

"Hey, hey, it's nothing like that!" Hayner yelled, his face turning red.

We were all laughing like mad then. After we all caught our breath and calmed down, we began the explanations. I decided that they shouldn't know about Namine sleeping over. They would make fun of is and tease us all year. Namine, thank God, thought the same. Well, she didn't mention it, so I assume that she thought the same.

Hayner and Olette were on a date. Hayner made me swear not to tease him school. I, being a good friend, agreed not to tease him.

"Well, it's getting late. We should probably head home." Olette said.

"Yeah. See you guys later!" We both said good bye and made our way to my house.

---------

At my house, I remembered I needed to call my mom and make sure it was okay for Namine to sleep over.

So, as soon as we stepped inside, I looked around for the phone. I found it under my bed ( How did it get there? ) and dialed my mom's cell phone number.

After the phone rang a few times, I heard my mom's voice. "Hello?"

"Hey Mom, this is Roxas."

"Oh, hi, Roxas."

"Um, I was wondering if Namine could...like..sleep over...?" I realized how strange it sounded.

"Sure. But Roxas,"

"Yeah?"

"Don't do anything stupid tonight."

"MOM!!" I yelled, becoming red. How embarrassing!

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding." My mother said, laughing. "I'll be home at around eleven, okay?"

"Alright." I replied, still embarrassed.

"See you then!"

"Bye."

I hung and placed the phone on it's charger. I sighed. "Man, she can be so weird sometimes..." I mumbled.

"What did she say?" Namine asked. She was sitting at my dinner table. I sat down across from her.

"You don't want to know." I replied, shaking my head. "So, uh, we better set up a sleeping bag. Where do you want to sleep? The TV room? We can watch some old movies or something." I shrugged.

"That would be nice." Namine said. We got up and went to look for a sleeping bag.

---

After I set up a sleeping bag, started the popcorn in the microwave, and got a couple of blankets and pillows, I gathered some DVDs. I spread them out on the coffee table in the TV room.

"Namine, what do you want to watch?" I asked.

"Hmm, let's see what you got," Namine looked at all the DVDs. "Saw, The Grudge, Boogeyman, The Exorcism of Emily Rose...Wow, Roxas, you have a lot of horror movies."

"Actually, I've never seen any of them. I always wanted to watch some, but I'll only do it with someone else." I said. I wasn't really afraid, but a movie is so boring when you watch it alone.

"Afraid? I don't blame you." Namine said, looking at the back of the DVD of Saw.

"Well, I'm not really afraid, but it's boring if you watch it alone." I stated.

"I see." Namine said. "Okay, let's watch The Grudge." Namine handed me the DVD.

"Alright." I said, popping it into the DVD player. The microwave beeped signaling that the popcorn was finished. Namine went to get the popcorn and I set up blankets on the couch. Namine had said she would sleep on the sleeping bag and I would sleep on the couch. We were going to watch the movie on the couch, though.

Namine returned and we settled on the couch. The movie began.

I tried to focus on the movie, but I couldn't. I was thinking of Namine. She was so pretty. I realized that this was just like a date. Taking a girl to see a scary movie, and having the girl get all afraid, and you were supposed to be brave. I didn't even realize that until now. I gulped. I was slightly afraid, but then again, this is The Grudge we're talking about.

After about an hour of the movie, I stretched and yawned. Namine was glued. She was staring at the screen, her eyes wide open. ( a/n - Okay, I've never seen The Grudge so I can't get into detail. )

I gazed at her dreamily. I couldn't help myself.

Then, she turned to face me. I snapped out of it, looked away, and blushed. "S-Sorry," I mumbled.

Namine moved herself closer to me. "This movie is freaky." She whispered. Her eyes were on the screen once again.

I blushed. Okay, I have to admit I kind of liked it. I put my arm around her like I did at the park. I pulled her closer to me. I grinned as she pretended not to notice. I could tell she was enjoying it. She put her head on my shoulder, and positioned herself so she was leaning against me.

Then, I did something very crazy. Very crazy. Extremely crazy. I kissed the top of her head. I stopped, my body froze. What had I just done? Now she probably thinks I'm..I'm some kind of pervert! Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh...

Wait a second.

I looked at her. She was closing her eyes, and smiling contently. I blushed even more. Did she enjoy it? I kissed the top of her head again, to see her reaction. Hey, might as well be brave.

Namine didn't do or say anything. She was smiling, though. And that made me happy. No, pleased. I loved it when she was happy. That meant I was happy. And as I sat there, sitting with Namine, I forgot about our fathers, school and everything else. I felt content. I hadn't felt content in ages. I smiled. Namine made me happy.

I kissed the top of her head once again as the movie played on. A girl from the movie screamed. Weird, a romantic event happening while a horror movie was playing.
