Roxas
Roxas had woken up to the sound of waves crashing the sea. He sat up with sand stuck on his light gray jacket that he had always worn. Looking around, He had recognized where he was.
(Destiny Islands, huh?), He had thought.
"Yep!" a familiar voice had suddenly spoken out of nowhere.
Roxas was surprise that he was able read my mind.
The brunet had replied to his thought while sitting up, "I'm able to read your mind because we share the same body, I guess."
"I'm surprised that you had been able to come up with that conclusion, Sora. It would make sense, but then again, we've always been able to defy common sense all the time. I mean we are doing it right now. But anyways, how are you feeling?" Roxas sat down next to him.
"Oh, I'm feeling better! Thanks to you!" Sora replied to Roxas with a big grin on his face.
But the grin turned into a gag as if he looked like he was going to throw-up.
"Heh he. I guess I still need some more time before I can be more energetic. Man, I hate feeling like this but there was worse. I mean whenever I tried to move earlier, both of my arms felt broken and my ribs felt like they were fractured."
"Heh, I guess we are really different, huh?"
"Well of course we are!" He replied with stern face, but then followed by another gag-reflex, "What's even worse is that my ribs tingle every time I feel like throwing up!"
This made Roxas laugh.
"Awww, come on man! That's not funny!" Sora had said with pouty face, and then another gag happened.
"I'm sorry, man. But it really is!" he said as he continued to laugh hard as he rolled on his sides.
As soon as Roxas had calmed down, Sora looked at him with a stern face.
"Are you done now?" Sora asked annoyed.
Roxas replied after he had sighed with joy, "Yeah, I'm good."
As soon as the both of them had calmed down, the both of them stared towards the beautiful flaming sunset that was over the horizion.
"Hey, Roxas."
"Yeah?"
"Thanks for sending Kairi's feeling towards me. It really made me feel better."
Roxas had looked at him with his eyes closed and smiled, "You're welcome."
They both looked at the happy, but Roxas' smile turned into a depressing frown.
Finally Roxas had broken the silence, "Hey, Sora?"
"Yeah? What's up, Roxas?" Sora had looked at Roxas with a worried face as he saw his frown.
"After you recover, what do you think will happen to me?"
Sora replied, "I don't know, Roxas. Most likely, you might return to my body."
"Yeah, most likely that might happen," Roxas had looked down towards the sand, as his hands had grabbed a handful of sand but then gently let it slip out of his hand.
He noticed then Sora getting up as he stared at the sunset, "You know what, Roxas? I'm gonna find a way for you to have your own body! I know that a Nobody cannot co-exist with his original human being that from they once came from, but the only Nobody that had ever defied that rule was you, Roxas. You are the only Nobody that had lived while co-existing with me. Sure I was asleep for most of it, but you know what? It still counts! If we can at least do that, then I'm pretty sure that we can both exist at the same time!"
Sora had turned his face towards Roxas with a fiery passion in his eyes.
Roxas had looked at Sora with a completely surprise look on him, but then that face slowly changed into a sad smile, "Thanks, Sora. I needed that."
"You're welcome," he replied with a grin on his face.
Suddenly, Sora's body had stiffened up, and before Roxas had he started to lean forward and started to fall to the sand face first. Before Sora had face planted on the sand, Roxas had caught him.
"Ack!" Sora had let out before his body had gone limp.
Roxas gently laid Sora down on his back onto the sand.
"Ow," Sora had croaked with a drop of blood coming out of his mouth.
"Heh, I think you need to relax before you become worse," Roxas teased Sora as he had wiped Sora's drop of blood off of his mouth. He then wiped his finger in the sand.
"Oh, bite me,"Sora replied as he had started to fade into a sleep.
Roxas chuckled as Sora began to snore and before he noticed the beach was dark with stars twinkling brightly everywhere in the sky.
As the dream had started to fade away, he heard Sora softly, "I promise."
Roxas smiled.
(Thanks.)
Roxas had then woken up on Sora's bed with a bit of Sora's hair falling to his face. Roxas was, at first, rather unpleasant to see Sora's hair, but then he had dismissed that fact and ignored it. He then realized something.
(Huh, even Sora's hair has to take a break once in a while.)
Roxas looked around. He had noticed that everybody, including King Mickey, were sleeping soundly.
Roxas had got up, and he looked up at the clock.
(3:46 p.m., huh.)
Roxas had realized that his throat and mouth were incredibly parched.
(I need some water.)
Roxas slowly got up and out of the bed. Wearing Sora's white satin pajamas, he put on his slippers and quietly started to walk towards the door. He slowly and quietly opened the door and closed it as he had left the dorm.
Roxas started to go down the stairs. He had finally reached the door that Lea had told him was the dining room/kitchen. Roxas had opened the door and entered.
Roxas had looked around the room. The room was rather dull, as the room was painted a shade of light blue. The room had a circular, medium-sized table in the middle that had only eight chairs inside. Above the table stood a chandelier that had several medium-sized panels of glass sticking out. On the glass, there was a design of a heart on it. The design of the heart was on big line that was bent into a V from the middle but the ends of the line had thickened and looked pointy as they curved into the heart, but the two ends never touched. The rest of the living room didn't have too much except for a big panel of glass that was the window. The window was a rectangle that didn't open, luckily. If it had opened, then there would've been a safety issue with people flying in and out of it. The moon outside provided light and the light was had reached at little more than half of the room.
As he realized that his throat was still dry, Roxas started to walk to the kitchen that was next to the dining room. The kitchen was small compared to the dining room, but it had the basic necessities, but the counter was marble with a white color to it. The tiled floor was as well was a shade of navy blue that had gone along with the floor and the counter.
Roxas walked towards the refrigerator and opened it up to see what was in it. Saddened, all he found was milk, Orange Juice, Wine, and a bottle of beer (he didn't know where that one came from). He found everything a kitchen needed, except the beer, but bottles of drinking water.
He sighed and then looked into the cabinets to find a glass cup. He found some and grabbed one to fill it with water from the sink. After he had filled it with water, he had gone to the table to go sit down and drink his water.
As he sat down, he took a sip of water and his mouth was satisfied but his throat needed more. His concentration had been focused onto the cup with water as he had thought about what Sora had told him.
("You know what, Roxas? I'm gonna find a way for you to have your own body! I know that a Nobody cannot co-exist with his original human being that from he once came from, but the only Nobody that had ever defied that rule was you, Roxas. You are the only Nobody that had lived while co-existing with me. Sure I was asleep, but you know what? It still counts! If we can at least do that, then I'm pretty sure that we can both exist at the same time!")
In the corner of his eye, he saw a small slender figure walk towards the table. Roxas moves his eyes towards the body to find out that the figure was that of a girl, and that she was carrying a sketchpad notebook. The girl was wearing a white gown that had reached to the middle of her thighs. When he realized that, his heart stopped as he had thought that it could've been the one person that he wanted to see the most. Even though, he, himself, hadn't realized that completely, and Roxas didn't understand why he was feeling this way.
Nervously, he lifted his head slowly to see if what he had thought was true. He looked up to her, and he saw the beautiful, blue-eyed, blonde looking and smiling at him. His mind had frozen, and his heart had nearly stopped in place.
As Roxas couldn't believe that Naminé was right in front of him, he blinked. And as he blinked, he looked at the girl again to find that the girl wasn't Naminé but instead it was Kairi. Even though Kairi was acting very similar to Naminé's characteristic, the thought that Kairi wasn't Naminé had completely devastated him. He was way too devastated, as though something in his soul was growing from this feeling. Something that felt dark and cold was feeding off of this.
Mixed into his feelings, Roxas hadn't noticed that Kairi was sitting down next to him.
"Ro—Sora, are you okay?" Kairi had asked him.
With that, Roxas had snapped out of his trance. He looked at Kairi with soft eyes. He could've sworn that he heard Naminé.
"Huh?" Roxas replied.
"Are you ok?" Kairi had repeated and looked at him with worrisome eyes.
When Roxas had heard Kairi's voice for the second time, he knew that he was being delusional. He didn't know what was going on, and what was making this happen to him.
He felt Kairi's hand on top of his, "Ro—Sora, what is wrong? You're scaring me…"
He looked at Kairi again as he had seen Naminé again. He blinked. He saw Kairi again. He blinked and he saw Naminé again.
He couldn't tell who was who anymore. He felt the room spinning quickly around them. He couldn't tell which way was "up" and "down" as he had lost his sense of directions. All of this had made him nauseous and sick to his stomach. He felt like he wanted to vomit but he couldn't get himself to do it. Everything but Naminé had started to blurr before the blurr had started to fade away.
His mind nearly broke from what he was experiencing.
His hand moved away from Kairi's and he held onto his head in pain.
"Roxas? What's wrong?" Kairi's voice had filled with fright as she put her hands on his cheeks.
Roxas looked up with confusion, but what's more his mind and body pained intensely when he was Naminé instead of Kairi looking at him. He felt insanity starting to wash over him. Suddenly, he heard Sora's voice.
(Roxas! Get a grip of yourself!)
Stunned, Roxas had slapped himself and he regained a bit of sanity. He looked at Naminé with pain with his eyes only focused on her.
He couldn't take it. He had to. He needed to. He did. He stood up.
"Naminé?" Roxas had question in confusion and fear.
Naminé moved her hands away from him and she immediately turned back into Kairi. As she moved away from her Roxas, he saw her eyes. They were filled with surprise and disbelief.
Roxas didn't know if those eyes meant that he was right, or that he had done something terribly wrong. He then suddenly heard Sora again.
(Go on. Ask her again.)
Roxas had done what he had been told to do, "Naminé? Is that you?"
It took her a minute before she could answer in return.
She let out a tear, "How did you know?"
Suddenly, all of Roxas' pain had immediately vanished. He had finally sat down on his chair and leaned back into it in relief. He felt in peace within himself, as if both his mind and heart had finally finished the war that had been going on within him. He was happy that his heart won the war.
"Roxas, how did you know?" Naminé asked again teared up.
Roxas had immediately felt regret for making her cry. He put his hand on top of her and Kairi's face changed into Naminé's face. Roxas had tooken a second before he was able to connect the dots together.
"Naminé, you know as much as I do that we are able to sense each other's presence within Sora's and Kairi's bodies. Now that you have switched places with Kairi, your presence has gotten stronger. It is so strong, that I began seeing you instead of Kairi. As matter of fact, it's so strong that whenever you touch me; Kairi's face changes into yours. When I was in pain, I didn't understand if I was seeing you or Kairi's. Eventually, this saddened me when I kept seeing Kairi instead of you whenever you I blinked. To be honest, I'm not too sure what had started this. Maybe because…." Roxas' voice had trailed off as he turned a shade of dark red.
"Maybe because, what?" Naminé had asked Roxas with desperation in her eyes.
"Maybe… because….." Roxas closed his eyes as his whole face turn into a tomato, "I have feelings for you…"
When Roxas had opened his eyes, he saw Naminé's face turned completely into an unhealthy coat of red that he never knew a person can achieve, until now. He thought that Naminé looked absolutely adorable like that, and with her face looking down with her beautiful blond hair drooping down in front of her face like that didn't make things better for him. Roxas had finally let go of her hand, and he realized that Naminé's face hadn't changed back to Kairi's.
(Great… Any other great wisdom you want to give me, Sora?)
No reply.
Roxas rolled his eyes.
(Thanks.)
Finally, Roxas had grabbed his glass and finished his water. He stood up and finally broke the awkward silence.
"Well look at the time, I believe that we should be getting back to bed." Roxas had said in panic.
When he grabbed glass to go put it in the sink, he felt Naminé's hand grab his wrist.
With that, Roxas had put down his glass on the table.
"Naminé?" Roxas had called her name with worry as he turned to face her.
Naminé stood up from her seat, and she began to get closer.
"Are you o—" Roxas question had been unexpectedly interrupted with a kiss.
Roxas was struck with thunder to see that Naminé was standing on the tip of her toes to kiss him. He felt her lips on his, and all of reason melted away as he leaned down on her. Everything disappeared as if it didn't exist. The only things that existed were Naminé, him, and their kiss that they were sharing.
For a kiss that lasted for about two minutes or so, the kiss felt like an eternity. Finally, their lips had departed from each other and Roxas felt nothing but absolute dumbstruck. Literatly.
When Roxas had tried to speak, he felt dumb when nothing had come out but jibberish.
Naminé giggled when he tried to speak. As she giggled, Roxas' face turned completely bright red with embarrassment.
Naminé had embraced Roxas in a passionate hug and she looked up to him. Her face was very beautiful as the moonlight had bounced off her perfect pale skin.
Finally, Namine replied with a blush, "Roxas, I also have feelings for you."
Roxas skipped a beat when he heard that and immediately returned a passionate kiss.
Suddenly, everything had turned into a bright white bright as they kissed.
And without knowing, he had fallen unconscious.
