Namine had willed herself up and out of her room to go take a shower, hopefully to try and get rid of this dirty feeling she felt all over her skin. But when she walked out she felt even dirtier because of her surroundings
"What the heck happened here?" Namine asked as instead of heading to the bathroom she went to the living room to find Kairi finishing up cleaning the room
"Well it took almost an hour but it's done" Kairi said to herself as she looked at the living room
"Wow this took an hour?" Namine asked as Kairi turned around to look at her as she walked over to her and looked at the room, which while not a total mess wasn't sparkling clean. "What did it look like before?" she asked as Kairi let out a sigh
"Pretty much a huge pig sty" Kairi with some humor as Namine let out a short laugh
"Well I guess that's what you get when you throw a party, a nice gigantic mess afterwards to clean up"
"Yeah" Kairi said as she let out another sigh then turned around to the kitchen which still looked like a sty "This whole place is a huge sty, what was everyone thinking? 'oh I'll just toss this on the ground. Trashcans what are those things?'" she said in a bad boy voice impression with some humor rolling off her words as she walked into the kitchen and started to pick up a couple beer cans and threw them into a big trash bag that she had in the kitchen from cleaning the living room
"Do you need any help?" Namine asked as Kairi shook her head
"No I think grandma would just tell you to stop and make me do everything because it's 'part of my punishment' "she said in air quotes as she walked over to the sink and ran some water and to soak a towel in. As she did she looked out the window above her sink "Oh crap, what the hell is Selphie doing in that pool we set up for that game?" Kairi asked as Namine only shrugged
"I don't know, I didn't even know your grandma was home until you told me" Namine said as Kairi made her way to the backdoor
"Listen I'll take care of this mess go take a shower or something" Kairi said as she went outside to wake up Selphie
"Ok but I'm going to help when I'm done" she told her before she went outside and started to shake Selphie awake. Namine then started for the bathroom, grabbing a towel from her room that she used yesterday, she didn't even want to open the closet that held the clean ones, fearing that someone might fall out of there from last night.
'oh geez' she thought as she stood in front of the door to the bathroom 'what if they did something to the bathroom?' she thought, figuring if most of the house was extremely messy then the bathroom would definitely have met the same fate as the other rooms. Knowing this she cautiously opened the door and peeped in and to her surprise it wasn't as messy as one would've thought. Sure allot of the sundries had been toppled over on the ground and the room generally locked out of order but the shower still looked the same, unstained from last night unlike Namine. She picked up all of the bigger sundries and straightened a couple things in the bathroom before starting the shower and waiting a minute or 2 for it to get warm enough for her. Then she stepped into the water and let it bead down on her, rinsing away the skin deep damage from last night. Then that same thought crawled back into her head
'you betrayed Roxas' a deep frown began to form on her face as her head and body drifted down till she was sitting in the tube letting the water rain on her, with a steady spiral of water going down the drain under her with a very small tint of red as it passed through her legs. She wrapped her arms around herself as she sat and just let the water fall on her as she tried to let the dirty feeling she had inside her wash away among other things
Meanwhile…
Axel had put Demyx in his room, figuring his day as Luxord's leg stool was over. Speaking of Luxord, he had gone out on a booze run to try and restart his vast collection. Roxas was in his room looking at his ceiling as the afternoon sunlight beamed its way into his room. He couldn't leave his room because Axel had told him not to and he wasn't in a mood to be burned today from trying to disobey him. There was nothing to do in his room, Axel hadn't bought him a personal TV and the only computer in the house was in Axel's room always on tight guard by its owner. But gladly Axel forgot about one thing that every teenager has to entertain themselves. Roxas dug into his pocket and brought out his phone and began to search through his contacts. First off he wanted to check up on some of his friends, knowing Sora and Kairi something wild might've happened last night so he texted him first
Hey Sora
Roxas sent the text to his friend then waited. While at the same time Sora was climbling back into his house through a window in his room. He landed on his bed and took a moment to catch his breath, Kairi's grandmother was truly the only thing he was really scared of and he took it serious when she brought up castration. Just then Sora felt his phone vibrate, thinking it was Kairi he grabbed his phone out of his pocket instantaneously and flipped it open, only getting a little disappointed when he found out it was Roxas.
Hey Roxas, you at home right now?
He texted back making sure he wasn't still in Kairi's house somewhere.
Yeah I'm at home. Axel busted me
Huh really? How did he even know you were there?
Demyx ratted me out. Now I'm on lockdown for the next month
That sucks. But hey it was totally worth it. After all I saw you and Namine getting a little freaky last night.
Sora texted back, chuckling at the last bit he wrote before hitting send.
Really? I don't remember much from last night.
Well you were kind of out of it last night. I'd actually be surprised if you did remember anything
Sora typed out as he remembered various images of Roxas acting stupidly drunk last night.
Hey did me and Namine… do anything?
Nope, at least I don't think so. I was too busy with Kairi
Sora typed out with a chuckle as on the other end Roxas rolled his eyes at the remark.
Alright dude just checkin' to see if you were ok
Well as you can see I am. I'm going to take a shower, catch ya later
See ya dude.
Then to his word Sora got off his bed and headed to his shower, gladly his mother was out so he didn't have to worry about her finding out he was drinking last night.
Roxas then decided to hit up someone else, someone he really needed to check in on.
Hey Namine
Back at Kairi's house, Namine had just gotten out of the shower and had dried herself off. She was in her room putting on some clean clothes when her phone went off making her jump; she was a little on edge right now. When she calmed herself down she walked over to her dresser and reached for her phone slowly, already knowing who it is and feeling every inch of guilt she had built up inside her. She could barely muster up the courage to text him back
Hey Roxas
You ok?
Roxas texted to her as Namine store at the text on her phone. The answer was obvious to her, no she wasn't ok, she was what she thought was the farthest thing from ok she had ever been. But she couldn't say to no to him, then he'd want an answer why and the answer why was going to make thing change drastically in her world. If she told him he's get mad. If he got mad he'd brake up with her. Then in the heat of his rage he'd go after Riku and knowing how strong both of them were they'd be put in the hospital and only god would know how badly they would be dent up. And after they'd get out of the hospital neither would want anything to do with the other or Namine, making her lose two of her bestest friends. So taking in a breath she did something that was rarely ever done from someone of her character. She lied
Yeah, ship shape just woke up
She sent the text already feeling the regret from that lie
Oh thank god, I thought something might have happened to you. Sora told me that party got wild last night
I wouldn't know I can't remember much
Same here guess we were both pretty out of it
'if you only knew' she thought as she sent
You got that right. Sorry to cut this short but I got to help clean up
She half lied, but mostly just said so she could get as far away from the slowly building bad feeling of guilt and other bad feelings in her stomach.
Wait Namine I have to ask you did we…?
Roxas began to text before his door slammed and Axel stormed through his room and yanked his phone out of his hands
"Hey!"
"Hey yourself! You forgot that my cell phone plan doesn't have unlimited texting and that I get a email you send out a cluster of texts like you just did" Axel said as he closed Roxas' phone and shoved it in his pocket as Roxas shot up out of his bed
"Give that back I need to ask Namine something important!"
"You'll be able to ask whatever it is you want in about a month after your punishment is served!"
"A month!?" Roxas shouted in disbelief and anger
"Yes a month and now phone, tv, or internet. Hell no leaving the house either!"
"Why that?" Roxas asked finding that unreasonable
"Because you've had one night of fun to last you the whole month that's why and while you're here for all that time you're going to be doing all the work around the house that Luxord usually does to apologize for stealing his beer" Axel said as he did a 180 and started for Roxas' door
"That's unfair you slave driver!"
"Hey I'll tell you what's unfair, lying to me and stealing boes then letting Demyx take the fall for you from Luxord while I went to go get you and found you looking practically dead. Now that is truly unfair!" Axel said then slammed the door shut, leaving Roxas standing there in his room far beyond pissed off. He wanted to scream out in anger but knew that would do no good. So instead to jump on his bed and start slamming his fists onto it, imagining it was Axel.
Anyway it was cut, Roxas' summer had just been crippled. All because of last night
Before you ask that 'one night of fun' line that Axel said was truly not intentional, it just happened. So yeah not much to say other than I hope you all had a nice holiday season, consider this a belated gift. Review if you like, leave if you don't. Kay bye
