A/N:

Here's the moment all of you Sora/Namine shippers have been waiting for.

Thought I'd try and make things a little more interesting. Hope you like it!

Being the hardcore Sora/Kairi shipper that I am, this was hard for me to write. But, truth be told, I'm actually starting to like it.

Fact: sometimes a change in perspective is a good thing.

Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts or the characters.

Enjoy!

Only a few more chapters left to go.


Chapter 22: The Kiss

(Mixed POV's)

Location: 12th floor

NAMINE

I don't have a heart, but if I did it would be beating in double time right about now. I can feel the sparks moving between us as he touches my face. I have the chills and my knees feel weak, I wonder if I'm about to faint. Can he tell that I'm nervous?

SORA

I don't retreat, I stand in place and wait for Namine to calm down. I've never been this close to Namine and I kind of like it. A faint shade of red has surfaced to her porcelain face, the color is flattering against her fair complexion. She's so beautiful and I want to tell her. But, I'm too nervous.

NAMINE

What is he thinking? Why hasn't he moved away from me, he doesn't have to be standing this close to me anymore. I'm fine now. Unless, he actually likes me. But, this is wrong. He could never be with me, not in that way.

SORA

What is she thinking? I search her alluring eyes, and it is in this moment that I realize what I have been ignoring all along. Namine and I would be perfect for one another. Why haven't I noticed this earlier? She is staring at me and I can't think straight. I slowly lean in and close my eyes, ready to do the only thing I can think of doing.

NAMINE

The room is spinning all around me and I feel like I'm falling. I can feel his warm breath against my skin as his face inches closer. Before I know it, we are kissing. I know it's wrong but I can't stop him, I am frozen in place. Our lips move in sync with one another. Yin and Yang. Is this a dream? If it is, then I don't want to wake up.

SORA

Our lips meet and I can taste her. Our bodies contour in unison. I can feel her soft hands on my lower back, the slightest touch sends chills up my spine. The sweet smell of her perfume fills my nose and leaves an impression in my mind. Vanilla or cinnamon, I'm not sure. Either way, it suits her perfectly. I'll never forget this moment. I'll never forget Namine.

NAMINE

I can't breathe, I can't move. He is leaving me paralyzed and I love it. He pulls away to catch his breath and I'm stuck in a daze. I can't believe that he kissed me and I can't help but feel a little guilty. I'm glad that he did what he did. But, what about Kairi? Yet, being bad has never felt this good. Why do I feel so terrible? Why can't I be happy for once?
