A/N: Haha… Some of you may have already guessed that it was Naminé… Fairly obvious from Sora's reactions… Well since Naminé's already here, why don't we have some fun? –Evil smile from 8989™-
-Something Special-
The blonde haired girl had one hand over Roxas' shoulder and a small smile on her face.
The blonde haired boy had one hand over his heart and a face with 'shock' written all over it.
The blonde pair stared at each other for a moment. Their blue eyes meeting for a brief second before both of them pulled away with red tints on their cheeks.
Sora grinned at the sight of their developing love. Apparently, Roxas had just confessed his love for Naminé without himself even knowing it.
Well… Now their feelings for each other are clear, it's up to themselves whether or not they want to get together.
After a short awkward pause, Roxas bent over to pick up his ice cream. His hand reached out and found that there wasn't a half melted ice cream bar in his hand. Instead he found something soft and smooth…
The blonde boy looked up and found the girl's hand in his. His face, which still hasn't recovered from the previous event, turned into a redder shade of pink.
You know… These two look cute together. Sora chuckled to himself.
"N-Nami…"
"It's okay. Let me help you with that."
There the three sat facing towards the inland ocean. Roxas had begged Sora to sit between them but the brunette knew better. Love isn't something one can interfere with.
So there Roxas was, sandwiched between the girl he liked and his best friend in silence. Sora occasionally snuck a peek towards the two blondes, amusing himself with their uneasiness.
The blonde girl sat on the edge of her vine-made chair, her hair flying in the cool nighttime ocean breeze. Sora noticed that his blonde haired friend slouched in his chair, probably thinking over his actions.
Probably something about 'why did I have to say that so loud', or 'why did I even say those things?'
As if on cue, Roxas sighed. "N-Naminé… I…"
The girl turned her head towards Roxas's direction. "That was sweet of you to think so." She gave him a heartwarming smile. Sora noticed his friend blink twice before a grin developed on his cherry red face.
"You really think so?"
The blonde girl nodded. Roxas' heart leaped out of his throat and did a little twirl before dropping back in place again.
Another silence followed. This one wasn't as agonizing for the blonde boy as the one before. He was smiling the whole time, eyes gazing blankly towards the ocean.
Until their moment of peace was interrupted. A light shot out of an island not far off and exploded into the sky in various colours.
"Fireworks?"
The brunette was taken by surprise. Fireworks in September? Then it hit him. Literally. A flapping flyer smacked him square in the face. He pulled it off and looked at the bright red words that stood out on top of the piece of paper. Two words. DI Day.
Destiny Island Day. The day Destiny Island was created. September 14th. Exactly one month till he turns 18.
He remembered the times his mother and father would bring him to the beach every year. One month before his birthday. They would point at the dazzling patterns in the sky and tell him that it was the celebration that indicates there's only one more month until his birthday. A show just for him…
Sora remembered those times. In the past, he's seen the show for 14 times. For 14 years straight. Until one year their parents divorced and his mother took him and moved away.
So… 4 years has already passed since then…
This time, not either of his parents accompanied him at the fireworks. In one month, he would turn 18. Which made sense. Sora's mom probably wanted to give the brunette some space since he was going to be an adult soon.
The lights from green to red to blue in the sky. The explosion lit up half of the horizon and shone in Sora's blue eyes. It was breath taking. But it just wasn't the same… Without his parents…
Sora stared absent-mindedly at the glimmering lights until someone waved a hand in front of his face.
"Sora?"
It was Roxas. Apparently, he noticed the brunette zoning off.
"Wha? Huh?"
"The fireworks ended a few minutes ago… Why are you still staring at the ocean?"
"I was just thinking… Don't you need a new cell phone since your last one got separated to more than a hundred pieces by Riku?"
Roxas suddenly sat up. "Oh right…"
Just then, the blonde girl came back with more ice cream for everyone. Sora thanked her while Roxas blushed. Sora noticed that the blonde was thinking deeply.
They sat facing the ocean in silence, enjoying their ice cream. Sora shifted his weight to the right side of the armrest and pondered about whether or not he should tag along with Roxas tomorrow for shopping.
The night was just as quiet. All they could hear was shuffles of leaves, waves splashing on shore, the occasional conversation from passer-bys, and… The sound of engines roaring and tires screeching? Well that's odd.
The 'odd' sounds died out soon enough, bring peace back to the shore. Sora yawned and stretched out his arms. When he brought them back, he found that there was a large chunk missing from the bar.
"Huh?" Sora turned around to investigate and found himself face to face with a person that he didn't expect to see here.
An auburn haired person.
"What brings you here?" The blondes turned to find that a certain silver haired teenage had invited a few friends over. Two red haired friends.
Axel stepped forward and grinned. "I thought that it would be fun to kill time by racing your pal here." He pointed toward a groaning Riku. "And kick his ass again…"
"Enough of the 'kicking asses'. Now Sora, be a good boy and offer me some more of that ice cream."
"Kairi?"
"Well who else did you expect? The cookie man?" She gave him a heart-warming smile. It wasn't really warm tonight but Sora felt like that he was melting.
Well, I expected the ice cream thief… But that's close enough.
"Oh and the ice cream, you can get your own…"
The brunette didn't even get to finish his sentence before his ice cream bar was snatched out of his hand and finished off in 3 gulps by Kairi.Wow… She even looks cute wolfing down ice cream…
After the girl had finished, she licked her lips. "Mmm… Good…" Right about now… You look better than the ice cream… Wait what am I even thinking!
The brunette was about to question himself that whether or not he had serious brain problems when the red haired 'ice cream thief' stopped him.
"So what are you guys planning for the weekend?"
Roxas spoke up for Sora. "Well… I was planning to get a new cell phone since my old one kinna got slaughtered by Riku…" That didn't really help improve Riku's mood.
Axel rubbed the back of his head. "I'm free to do what-so-ever. You guys want to head to the mall? I hear they got an awesome variety of electronics."
"You mean together?" Naminé didn't seem too comfortable with the idea. Especially with Riku sending death glares toward Axel.
The pyromaniac didn't seem to get the drift. "Sure why not? It'll be like a double date for Sora, Kairi, Roxas and Naminé."
Roxas gave his friend a not so friendly punch in the privates. Sora gave him a long and meaningful glare. If looks could kill, Axel would be more than dead by now.
Man… Words travel fast. Not even 1 hour has passed since his confession before the news leaks out to the world…
The brunette thought he heard a rustle in the bushes and mentally noted that he and Demyx was going to have a 'nice' lonnnnggggg chat when they see each other.
He was visualizing ways to kill the blonde reporter slowly and painfully in his head when one of the scenes from his head was taken into reality. The headlock strangle.
Except for that it was gentler. The person executing the move didn't have arms as think as tree trunks. Instead they were slender and soft. The brunette felt warm breath on his neck, the air smelled of mints.
Instead of experiencing extreme pain, he felt a rush of pleasure run down his spine.
Without even turning, he knew that it was Kairi.
"Come on… It'll be fun…" The auburn haired girl blew softly into his ear.
Well… I can't resist an invitation like that now, can I? Besides… It would be fun doing stuff that didn't involve racing, extreme sports, near death experiences or blowing stuff up.
The brunette nodded and smiled. Right now, words won't be able to express how he feels.
What she did next completely took him by surprise. Well not really. He was certainly expecting something from the girl behind him as thanks for accepting the offer.
Just not this much of this 'something'.
She turned his head around and brought his chin up with her index finger. Then they embraced for a passionate kiss.
I just hope Demyx would be able to keep his lips zipped tight. Or I'll be forced to use obnoxious measures… And make sure that he has none left to zip…
Kairi could feel the spiky haired brunette smile against her lips.
Oh… How fun it would be…
Eventually both of them had to break apart for air. Apparently, none of them noticed Riku muttering something about "too much drama and mushy love" and leave. Axel stuck around to tease his blonde friend about his feelings.
"You know… You didn't finish the part about her kiss, Mr. Poetic. I'm waiting to hear the rest of your stanza." The pyromaniac leaned closer towards the blonde couple and made kissy sounds.
That earned him a good knee in his sensitive part. The boy doesn't learn.
While Roxas was beating up a certain red haired guy, Sora and Kairi walked down the beach to avoid the girly screams coming from Axel. Eardrums were sensitive things.
They walked down the beach line admiring the shrouded moon through all the firework smoke.
"So… Your turning 18 soon?"
When did she know… Oh right… Gives me one more reason to not let Demyx walk out alive from our 'meeting'...
"Mhmm…"
"What are you planning on your birthday? Anything special you want in particular?"
"Well… I'm as happy as any guy turning 18 could get…" He paused and took a deep breath before saying the next line. "… Because I have you…"
As cheesy as it sounded, it matched the scene perfectly. The beach was deserted. The ocean flashed remains of neon lights at them, casting a shimmering greenish blue colour on the shoreline.
It also seemed to match the words Kairi secretly wanted to hear in a part of her heart. She giggled and laced her fingers through his.
Roxas is having some serious effects on me…
They say that on Destiny Island Day, special things happen. People seemed happier, teachers seemed less grouchy, and the rate of how many love confessions would be accepted between friends seemed to soar above any other day…
Sora believed that much. Even though she had never seemed like just a friend for him. She had always been… Something special…
A/N: Wahoo! Sora's second kiss. I'm beginning to like these… Anyways for all of you Naminé and Roxas paring lovers, they'll get theirs soon enough…
I'm beginning to question whether I should keep adding drama and romance like this… It would be hard to wrap up later on in the story and I don't think I'm all that age appropriate… Maybe I got a little too much inspiration from
Jared Someone, , Jomatto, Redeeming Endeavor, Darth Kingdom, Shire Folk and the others…
Haha… Just joking. It wouldn't be fun for Sora if I cut down the kisses, right Sora?
"Absolutely!"
He agrees! Haha… Anyways please correct my mistakes and review~! -8989™
