Five Things
A collection of five Roxas and Namine short stories.
Love Letters
The hallways of Twilight High were crowded with kids desperately trying to flee the confined grounds of the school. Namine easily skipped around them, almost as if the kids were purposely trying not to bump into her. Once she reached her locker she smiled, knowing full well what she would see once she opened it.
She wasn't disappointed.
Inside her locker was a folded blue sheet of paper, lying on top of her history book. Picking up the letter Namine opened it and read the familiar untidy scrawl.
Namine-
If all the light in the world vanished and we were plunged into darkness, I wouldn't be scared. Because I always have my light with me.
Roxas
She smiled, surprised by the tear hanging near her eye. She rubbed it away as a voice behind her said,
"Aw he sent another one?"
Namine slipped the note inside her bag, closing her locker. "As always."
Olette smiled, clapping her hands together. "How romantic!" Her eyes drifted to Hayner for a moment, who was wrestling with his sports jacket, trying to get it on. She then grinned wider at Namine.
"Well, let's go then."
Even though every Friday there was a different letter inside her locker at school, Namine was a little saddened to know it would have to stop once school was over.
Instead, it didn't.
Her mother handed her a letter at breakfast, and Namine took it in surprise. She opened the unstamped envelope and smiled at the blue paper within its depths.

Every Friday there was a new letter from him, always different, in the mailbox or in her locker.
Once a week Roxas felt obliged to remind her how much he loved her.
