Roxas entered Namine's room in the hospital. He sighed, tiredly. He smiled as soon as he saw Namine. He read her expression and frowned. She held a composed face, but he knew something was up.

"Namine, are any of the paparazzi hiding here?" he asked, with an eyebrow raised.

Namine shook her head. He raised an eyebrow. Roxas didn't buy it.

"Don't lie."

Namine looked up at him. She stared at him for quite a few seconds. She then turned away and pointed to the closet, indicating where they were hiding. Two reporters came out of the closet, annoyed. They took of few more pictures now that Roxas was here. The shorter one turned to Namine with a frown.

"You said you'd keep quiet," he reminded.

Namine began moving her hands to perform signs. She was speaking through sign language. The reporters took another picture. Roxas, irritated with the additional people in the room, shot them a threatening look and forced them out. Once he was sure they were gone, Roxas turned to Namine, sighing once more.

"Honestly, those were the sixth and seventh ones you let in today. You can't let them come in and take pictures of a dying person. That's messed up," Roxas said firmly, "By the way, what did you say to them in sign language?"

Namine rolled her eyes. She grabbed tiny dry erase board Roxas had given her and wrote down what she wanted say. Roxas waited patiently. She showed him the board.

It would really help their careers, wouldn't it? That would be just very nice for them. As for what I said to them, why don't you just trying to learn sign language like I did for my mom? D:

"Pfft, like I have the time. Just use the dry erase board."

Namine shot him a look. She erased the previous words on the board and wrote new ones. She showed it to him.

By the way, stop buying me these things, Roxas. You're wasting your money.

"You need ever single one of the things I bought you!" Roxas said defensively.

Namine set down the board and then held out a diamond to bracelet Roxas had given her.

"It's...to help you get exercise by lifting that heavy diamond?"

She now pointed the her clothes. She was not wearing a a regular hospital gown. It was a custom silk gown Roxas had bought for her.

"Do you know who could have wore those hospital gowns the gave you? Hello? There might be someone with skin disease."

Namine then pointed to the the food tray nearby. It had very expensive food on the plate. It seemed fit for a king.

"You need to eat better stuff than the junk they serve at this hospital! Look, Namine, I just want to make you happy," Roxas confessed.

Namine smiled her signature smile. She began writing on the board again. She showed him the words once more.

But I'm already happy. You're here. That's enough for me.

Roxas's cheeks turned a shade of red. Turning away, he tried to hide his blushing face. When he looked again, new words appeared on the board.

Roxas, the premiere of our movie is tonight. Is it all right if I go?

Roxas shook his head, "You're sick. It wouldn't be very good for you."

Namine erased the previous words and wrote new ones once more. She showed it to Roxas.

Please! I would like to go, at least once.

Roxas exited the limousine, sighing. Before he knew it, he could hear the screams of fangirls and see the flashing lights. He was strangely disgruntled with this. The fangirl screams was deafening and the lights from the flash of their cameras could give someone a seizure. He never though of it that way before. He was at the premiere for LoveFool.

Roxas quickly turned around to look back at the limousine. He could see Namine still sitting inside, looking out the window, eyes widened. She was smiling. She seemed to be pleasantly surprised. Roxas smiled softly and called out to her. She immediately turned to look at him, blinking once. he beckoned for her to exit. She nodded. She shyly exited the limousine. She was wearing a white dress that Kairi let her borrow. Roxas had thought she looked really nice. However, he would never admit it though.

As she was she was out of the limousine, her eyes were blinded by the lights. It had frightened her. She looked to Roxas. He could see what she was feeling. He came closer to her and took her by the hand. She blinked twice, a slight blush appearing. He walked with her down the red carpet. The press began to chatter louder, taking even more pictures.

"Just try looking straight ahead. There are less flashes there. Stay close and don't go to close to the crowd, alright?" he advised quietly.

Namine nodded, smiling a bit. She walked closer to Roxas and did as he instructed. She felt safer when she was with him.

Suddenly, she her legs felt weak. She tried to go on, but her legs failed her. Namine began to fall to the floor. Still holding her hand, Roxas tried to keep her standing, pulling onto her. Ultimately, she fell down. Roxas gritted his teeth as he was struck with confusion. He asked her what was wrong. She tried speaking, but no voice came out. She then began making signs and gestures with her hands, using sign language.

"Shit, I don't know sign language," Roxas muttered.

Roxas then turned to the crowd. They were chattering even more, with more pictures being taken. Roxas clenched his fist.

"Stop taking pictures, damn it! Who knows sign language here? Tell me what she said!" Roxas yelled.

Soon numerous voices spoke at once, telling him what Namine said. He could barely understand. The cacophony of voices could have made him deaf.

"Just shut up!" he barked. He then pointed to a random girl, "You! tell me what Namine said."

The girl seemed surprised to be picked by Roxas, stuttering her answer, "S-she said 'I can't feel my legs anymore' in sign language."

Roxas cursed under his breath. He bent down to the ground, looking into Namine's eyes. He asked her if that was correct. She nodded. He then asked her if it was part of the disease. She nodded once more. Namine could no longer use her legs. Roxas's face paled. He then had her climb onto his back. She did so. Roxas then carried Namine inside the building.

As Roxas and Namine made their way to the limousine, Roxas realized he had left his jacket back there. He quietly told her to stay put. He then headed back inside. The building was quite large, so he expected it would take a while to find it. However, right as he entered, he saw a reporter with his jacket. Roxas groaned. The reported smirked.

"I'll give your jacket back if you answers some questions for me," the man stated.

Roxas rolled his eyes, "I'm rich. I can buy a new one, douche."

"Really? Does a new one have this?" the man then put his hand into his pocket and pulled out piece of paper.

Roxas seemed confused, "When did that get there? What is that?"

"I'll tell you as soon as you answer at least one question for me."

Roxas glared at him, "Fine. Ask away."

The reporter smiled and pulled out his notebook. He took his pen out as well to write. He looked up at the impatient Roxas.

"I got to ask, what is Namine to you?"

Roxas instantly turned to face him now, "W-what?!"

"I'm asking what is she to you," he repeated.

"Why the hell should I answer that?!" Roxas shouted.

The man simply raised the piece of paper. Roxas's shoulders fell. He huffed. He did want to know about the paper.

"Answer honestly. Don't lie either cause I will find out you lied and make your life a living hell."

"Well...she's my friend...though sometimes it feels different. She'll say something and I just feel...strange. It feels sort of unfamiliar so I don't think it's the bad kind of strange," Roxas mumbled.

He chuckled as he wrote this down, "Roxas, I think that strange feeling is love."

"What?!"

"Well, you make it sound like it. Haven't you ever been in love before? You've gone out with other girls before. You even said you loved Olette once."

"I did love her. It felt like love. This feeling is totally different though!"

"Maybe what you feel for Namine is love and what you felt for Olette was just a strong like?'

"Ugh! Can we stop talking about this?!" Roxas said exasperated, "Is that enough of an answer for you?! Just give me that jacket and paper!"

The man shrugged and went over to Roxas, handing over the jacket along with the piece of paper. Roxas quickly looked at the paper. He was enraged. The piece of paper was blank. He shot a look at the man.

"You tricked me," Roxas said bitterly.

"Roxas, you should have known that I was acting," the reporter said, emphasizing 'acting', "Just make Namine happy, okay?"

The man then left the room. Roxas was still in a bit of confusion of what just happened. He sighed and went back to the limousine, where Namine waited for her. as soon as she saw him, her eyes lit up and her smiled. Roxas couldn't help but smile back.

Roxas wheeled Namine into her hospital room. After that incident, Roxas knew Namine wouldn't be leaving the hospital anymore. When the two got into the room, Roxas helped Namine into her bed. After doing so, he sat down in a chair near by. Namine turned to him and smiled, mouthing 'thank you'. She then picked up her dry erase board and began writing. Finishing, she showed Roxas.

That was nice, right?

"Nice?! You can't move your legs anymore! How is that nice?" Roxas exclaimed.

Namine erased it and wrote something new. She showed him once more.

The other part of the premiere, that is! :/

Roxas sighed. The rest of it was pretty okay. Nothing really bad went down except Namine's legs and the paparazzi bothering her too much. It made him wonder what else was going to happen to her. Would she lose feeling in her arms? Would she lose her sight? Horrible images flashed into his mind.

Her time was running out. She was dying. It still felt so unreal. But it was happening. Roxas felt he had to repay her. To do something as a thank you to her, for just...being her. She had been changing him. She had been brightening his day. Namine accomplished this just by being herself. He wanted to do something to make her happy. She wasn't going to accept material objects. What could he give her? It was then he remembered what she had said once before.

Roxas turned to Namine with a serious face. She seemed a bit surprised.

"Namine, you know I heard...that a wedding is the happiest day of a girl's life," he began.

Namine's eyes widened.

"And you'll marry the one you love and want to be with for the rest of your life. Well, if you want, you could just settle for me," Roxas began blushing as he said this, "We don't have to go to a church or garden or something. We could do it in the hospital. I'm sure there's a priest as a patient somewhere here. If not, I could always get one. What I'm saying is: will you marry me?"

Namine's jaw dropped. She blinked twice, absorbing what he just said in. She gripped onto her board tighter. She slowly smiled warmly. She nodded.

A/N: Oh ho ho~ I want to end this story at chapter 16. So yay~ Roxas and Namine are going to be married. lol the reporter bit felt like a random piece. I'm probably going to include him into the last chapter to make him feel less out of place.

On other random news, I joined this group on facebook called "what I'll never say to you" or something where people post what they want to say to someone (without naming them). One girl wrote something that I found absolutely sweet.

I didn't use to believe in love. Or maybe I still don't. At least, not that kind. But I'd at least want to be friends with you. I guess it's hard because I'm so awkward around you. So honestly, I don't love you. But I think I'm in like with you. I'll hope that one day you'll be over her and be in like with me too.

I want to use that in a story. But I think there are enough of those kind of stories. Darn. Still a sweet thing to say. Whoever that boy is need to read this.

Time to reply.
