Namine offered Roxas one last smile before she turned around and walked a step, bending down and then lifting her coat off the ground. Once she was done this simple chore, she would get started on the hot chocolate. "Oh," she said, turning around when she remembered that something had been on the tip of her tongue a few moments ago. "There's some firewood in the basement. I'll get the lighter out of the kitchen cabinet and set it on the counter for you."
'Tis okay. xD I'm sure I've been like that in the past.
Namine's smile softened and she looked behind her slightly, seeing her coat lying on the ground. "Let me put away my jacket first," she started. "Then I'll do my share of the work." She felt a smirk start to appear on her lips, the girl pulling her arms back to her sides. She wasn't sure if Roxas knew where the firewood or the lighter was, so she was about to give him that information.
Gosh, you're in such a rush! Relax and enjoy the slower things in life, friend! xPP
Namine smiled softly, slowly releasing Roxas at the same time that he began to. But she didn't feel right leaving his embrace without one more thing occurring. She lifted a hand and set it on the front of Roxas' shoulder, standing on her toes slightly as she gave the blond boy a peck on the cheek. She had done that a few times since he returned home, but they had yet to kiss on the lips. But she wasn't in a rush; it would happen at the right moment.
What? You don't enjoy this? xP
Namine smiled softly, hearing the genuine care in Roxas' tone of voice. "I have an idea," she started. "How about you start a fire in the fireplace in the living room, and I'll get the hot chocolates and a blanket?" The idea had just randomly popped into her mind at that moment, but she felt it was an idea worth pursuing.
You're that excited?! I'm loving the improv we're doing now so much, I'll be sad to see it end! xD
Namine was aware that Roxas' hand felt warm compared to the skin on her arm, and she quickly connected the dots that he was worrying about her catching a cold from the chilly weather. She had considered it, but she hadn't really taken the idea seriously when she was out there, concerned about the game she and Roxas were playing.
Yuppers. 8D
Namine opened her eyes, pulling back her head a little bit so that she could see Roxas' face. It took her a moment of recollection to remember how long she had been waiting for Roxas in the tree-house. "Hmm...maybe five to ten minutes before you came out, and then five minutes more after you came inside." It had felt like an eternity to her at the time because of the cold weather, though.
Good, 'cause if you didn't agree, I'd be worried. xDD
Namine leaned her head on Roxas' shoulder when she felt him rub her arm, the girl releasing a softer breath. She and Roxas were even now, so it was only natural that things would begin to calm down. As much as she loved the goofiness they had experienced earlier, she was glad for a break.
I'm excited for whatever we do. xD We're amazing at this, so everything turns out amazing.
Namine let out a short laugh, her breathlessness still coming through by her actions and her heavy breathing. "No kidding!" she managed, still leaning into Roxas heavily. Torture was a good way to describe it, because it was miserable for her to go through, especially twice in one day. But she had really asked for it this second time, so she wasn't overly upset.
That's okay. xD If we don't come up with anything, we'll wrap it up and jump to the next plot.
Namine heard a few more breathless laughs leave her even after Roxas stopped tickling her, the girl recovering from the tickle-torture. She turned around slightly in Roxas' arms and faced him, wrapping her own arms around his lower back as she leaned into him, out of breath.
Tears Of The Saints- Leeland
You mean for what we're doing right now? xD
Namine lowered her head, feeling Roxas tighten his hold on her. There was no way she could get out of this, so she knew she had no choice but to deal with her "punishment." She laughed at the tickling, also feeling herself nearly out of air. She couldn't even find the breath to tell Roxas this fact, but she wasn't afraid; he would stop the moment she appeared too out of breath.
