Kairi felt like a complete idiot. Why did she have to put it out there like that? She sighed. Sora probably hated her now. He hasn't talked to her ever since the other day. She was worried that she just pushed her soul mate out of the door just because she didn't know how he felt. Her face lit up as Roxas entered the room. She smiled and went over to him.

"Roxas, I need advice," she stated.

"Got my own problems. Sorry," Roxas mumbled.

"Your own problems? What problems could they be? Which lip balm you're going to use for your kiss with Namine?" Kairi said jokingly.

Roxas shot her a look, "No! I already fixed that problem. Butterscotch Vanilla for my upper lip and Strawberry Sundae for my lower lip."

"Oh wow...no wonder your lips tasted so weird every time we kissed before."

Roxas sighed and put his hand on her shoulder, "Look, point is that I don't have time to help you and Sora. I have to focus on Namine right now. She just told me something that...I don't know if I'm ready to accept."

Kairi's eyes widened. She gasped.

"No way! She told you she loves you and you rejected her?! How could you?" Kairi yelled.

"NO! Just forget we had this conversation!" Roxas shouted, exasperated.

Roxas walked past Kairi and headed toward his dressing room. Kairi shot a look at him and then sighed. She now knew Roxas couldn't help her. She could try asking Namine.

Roxas could barely concentrate as he read over his script for the scene. His mind was too focused on Namine. She had not come to the studio yet. He kept glancing at the door, hoping she would arrive. It was then Namine finally came through the doors. Roxas immediately went alert. He watched as she scanned the room. Their eyes met. Namine smiled warmly at him. Roxas blinked twice. He forced a smile back, but it seemed a bit harder. He knew he wouldn't be able to see that smile soon. It was still so hard for him to believe.

Namine walked up to him, "Hello, Roxas."

Roxas had noticed that her voice seemed a bit softer. He blinked twice and responded.

"H-hi," Roxas said weakly.

"Are you alright?" she asked, tilting her head.

"Yeah. Are you?"

Namine blinked twice and smiled, "Yeah."

Kairi then came up to Namine. Namine turned to her and greeted her as well. Kairi then began asking for advice. As she explained the situation, Namine nodded and listened intently.

"Oh my. It does sound bad. I do think you came on a bit too strong. Sora was most likely overwhelmed," Namine said.

"Yeah, but I'm really worried. When I asked him if he wanted to marry me, he just walked away like he always does," Kairi frowned.

Roxas, still standing there watching the conversation, decided to jump in. He sighed.

"Listen, Kairi, did you ask him if he loved you?" he questioned.

"Well, yeah..."

"Did he say he did?"

"Well, yeah..."

"Then why are you worrying? He loves you. He probably wants the relationship to go a bit slower. Marriage is a big deal. It must have made him worried seeing how you plan out your wedding the first week you get together with a guy."

"HEY! I want to make sure that if he ever pops the question, I'll be ready," Kairi said defensively.

Roxas put his hand on her shoulder, "You and Sora have been together forever. You guys have dealt with a lot of problems. But you got through them. You'll get past this one."

Kairi thanked them for the advice and went to find Sora. Just as she left, Sora came in the room. Roxas was about to call Kairi back, but Sora covered his mouth.

"Shh! Don't let her know I'm here!" he hissed.

Namined frowned, "Sora, you shouldn't hide from Kairi. She really needs to talk to you. Communication is key to relationships. You do care for Kairi, right?"

Sora nodded, "It's just that I'm scared. Kairi's my first girlfriend ever, and she's expecting a whole future with me. I'm a bit afraid of commitment. What's the whole deal with marriage anyway? And the whole wedding thing! Ever hear of Vegas? So much more easier and less troublesome."

"Sora, almost every girl dreams of the perfect wedding with someone she really loves. She wants to wear a pretty dress and walk down the aisle. She wants all the people important to her to be there. They do say that a wedding is the happiest day of a girl's life," Namine stated.

Roxas looked over to Namine as she said those words. When she looked at him, he immediately turned away. Namine blushed. Roxas blushed a bit as well. Sora, wondering why they were blushing, decided he should face Kairi. He sighed and left the room.

Kairi was now watching a few edited scenes from the movie. Even though she was around to watch them film it, the acting by Roxas and Namine still amazed her. They way they looked at each other said it all. They both were in love. Kairi was sure of it. She began wondering if she and Sora looked like that.

The door suddenly opened. Kairi turned to see who came him. It was an out-of-breath Sora. He panted.

"Sora! What's the matter?" she asked.

"Nothing. Just...I had a lot of trouble finding you," Sora said, still panting, "You could have at least opened the door so I can see you. I swear I passed this room like five times looking for you."

"But why were you looking for me?" Kairi asked.

Sora smiled softly and sat down on the chair next to her, "Because I want to talk to you."

"I wanted to talk you too," Kairi replied.

"You can go first."

"No, I think you should."

"No, I insist Kairi."

"You're the one who ran to tell me this. Spit it out!"

Kairi and Sora then spoke in unison, "I love you!"

The two adults began blushing madly. They turned away and tried not to look at each other. Kairi bit her lip, trying to think of the words to say. Luckily, Sora spoke for her.

"I don't like to think much of the future. I like to live in the present. When I met you, a girl who always thought about the future, it amazed me. I guess you could say, at first I only talked to you because you had a quality I lacked. But soon we became best friends. Then we fell in love. We became a couple. You started writing down details about our wedding the first week."

"I want to be prepared!" Kairi said defensively.

Sora chuckled, "That's what I love about you, Kairi. You're always looking to the future. I need someone like that for me. You're the first and only girl I've ever dated. As for our future as a couple, I just kept thinking, 'why don't we just stay like this forever?' But I saw that you wanted more. So I proposed. There you were so giddy and excited. Me? I was just thinking 'let's get this over with'"

"I can't believe I made you feel like that I'm so sorry. If knew how you felt then..."

"You were happy. And now matter how cheesy this sounds, I'm happy when you're happy. I just never really got the concept of marriage. If you are going to be together for the rest of your lives, then why make a big deal about it? Then Namine said that a girl's wedding is said to be the happiest day of her life. I just started thinking that if I can give you that, the whole marriage thing is worth it. So Kairi, I do want to marry you."

Kairi smiled warmly hugged him, "Thank you."

Roxas and Namine began filming the final scene. It was the scene where Aqua and Ventus meet each once again after five years. They have a long talk about their relationship. In the end, Aqua and Ventus agree they can maintain their relationship. After that, they kiss. Roxas's head still spun when he thought about the kiss part. He looked to Namine. She seemed very calm. Maybe Namine was better at hiding her nervousness.

The scene began. Namine ran on stage, panting. Looking at Roxas into the eye, she shook her head.

"Ven, you're here," she said, out of breath and softly.

"I am."

"This isn't a cruel joke, is it? You're really here?" Namine said, a bit strained.

"I'm really here, Aqua. I'm not going anywhere. I'm here to stay," Roxas said soothingly.

Namine shook her head, "How do I know you're telling the tru -- ?!"

Namine was not able to finish that sentence as she began coughing. Roxas's eyes widened and came closer. Namine shook her head and discreetly pointed to the camera reminding him they were still on film. Namine opened her mouth, trying to speak her lines. No words came out. She couldn't speak anymore. A sad expression fell upon Namine's face. She bit her lip and folded her arms. Judging by her body language, Roxas could tell she was scared. He began to worry. There was supposed to be a long talk between them. With Namine silent, how were they supposed to do it?

"Aqua, I'm really sorry. I know you probably hate me for all of this," Roxas began to say.

Namine shook her head. She came even closer to Roxas and grabbed onto his shirt. Roxas looked down at her, smiling at how cute she looked. She slowly looked up at him, blushing. Roxas then leaned it, kissing the angel softly. Never in his life had he had a kiss like that.

Roxas and Namine exited the building, heading for Roxas's car. After the kiss, the director insisted on retaking it. However, Namine explained to him dialogue from her would be impossible at this point. In the end, they decided to keep the scene and let Namine go to the hospital. They both entered car. Once they were inside, Roxas looked to Namine. He asked if she was okay. She smiled and nodded. Roxas wasn't convinced.

"You...this is part of it, isn't it?" he asked.

Silence. She nodded.

"Will you be able to speak again?" he was afraid of her answer.

She shook her head. Roxas cursed. Namine put her hand on his. Roxas blushed a bit. She held it tight.

"Are you alright? Please don't lie or act or whatever."

Namine looked into his eyes. She nodded. She then began moving her hands, to make signs. She was speaking sign language. Unfortunately, Roxas did not understand sign language. He looked at her confused. He then looked around the car for a pen and paper. He handed it to her. She smiled and began writing. Once she finished, Namine showed it to him.

I will never lie or "act" to you, Roxas. Never again.

"Oh really?" Roxas asked her, "What color is the sky?"

Namine smiled and wrote down "blue" on the paper. Roxas read it and nodded. She then wrote something else.

I'm not colorblind, you know.

"I know. You...won't become colorblind, right?" he asked, unsure.

Namine shook her head. Roxas sighed with relief and smiled. Namine stared at him. She then returned his smile. Roxas began to ask her more questions she would nod and shake her head to. Others, she had to write down. The two soon realized that they should start driving to the hospital soon.

At that moment, Sora and Kairi exited the building, surprised to see Namine and Roxas in the car, ready to leave. They went up to them.

"Where are you guys going?" Kairi asked.

"The hospital," Roxas answered.

"Why?" It was now Sora's turn to ask.

"Namine's dying."

Sora and Kairi just stared. The car now drove away. The engaged couple now held hands.

"Our problem really isn't that big," Kairi said softly.

"Compared to what Namine and Roxas are dealing with."

A/N: Now Nami can't talk T___T Well, you guys knew that would happen because of the little flashback to Namine's mother.

I want to start a new story after this one, but I'm not sure about the plot. It'll Namixas fer sure~ I don't know. Maybe I'll just write a few one-shots before I start another semi-long story.

Yay! Thanksgiving is coming. I'll be visiting my cousins. After that it's Black Friday. I will probably try to get something anime or Scrubs related or maybe Kingdom Hearts stuff if I can find something~ What I don't like about Thanksgiving down with my cousins, I don't get to pick where to go. So I just get whatever that just happens to be there. If I spent Black Friday here at home, I could ask my parents to take me to Fry's, Best Buy, Japantown, Hot Topic, etc. Eh, the first two stores made me sound like a nerd orz
