Five Things

A collection of five Roxas and Namine short stories.

Best Friend

Roxas was like the sun to her. He was always there.

Or perhaps better. Because the sun vanished behind the clouds, but Roxas never left.

If she wanted to be insane and listen to her wilder side, even if that included skateboarding and ice skating during the rare times Twilight Town received snow, he would be her Daredevil that paved the way.

If she ever felt like just sitting quietly and drawing, he'd be there, simply watching her. But unlike the others she never felt self conscious when he sat beside her.

Whenever she felt like being alone, he would leave. Whenever she wanted company, he would come.

It was like he could read her mind. Namine would do all she could for him, trying to return the favors. He only wanted to see her smile.

Namine knew Roxas could be her best friend, her shoulder to cry on, and the person who knew her better than anyone else in the entire world.

In fact, she only felt complete when she was with him.

Right now they weren't doing much, just sitting on a bench, Roxas eating that blue ice cream that Namine thought was a little too strange tasting for her.

He had his arm around her shoulders, and she leaned against him, watching the people in the park go by.

"Namine?" He asked in between licks.

"Yes?" She answered.

He dropped the stick into the trash beside them and smiled at her again. "You don't look very happy."

Namine blinked in surprise. Rats. She had been trying to hide that from him. "It's just my parents. Don't worry about it."

"Oh, but I will. If you're not happy neither am I." He put on a sad expression.

Namine smiled. "Stop being so dramatic. My parents are fighting, that's all."

Roxas held onto her. "If anything bad happens, you know where to find me" His own parents were divorced,

He very gently let the blonde strands of her hair slide through his fingers like water, grinning to himself. His blue eyes studied hers.

"I'm always here for you."

If she ever felt like doing anything he'd be up for it.

No matter what she wanted he'd follow her to the ends of the earth.
