Sora shut his eyes again, not wanting to let them wander to anything that could make him more distressed, if that were possible. He wanted to hold on as long as he could, because there was no telling when he would be able to hold Kairi in his arms again. Namine stayed in her position, not ready to face the world yet. Or her friends, for that matter. She could only imagine that Kairi was taking it as hard as she was, and that thought made her sad. Kairi was her best friend, and she hated it whenever she was sad.
xD Why are you grumpy? =/
Sora repositioned his arms around Kairi a bit, making the hold a little less forceful than it had been before. He had grabbed her on an impulse, and his tight embrace probably had shown that. The loosening didn't mean that he wanted to let go, it just meant he didn't want to hurt her. Namine nestled her head into Roxas' chest a little more deeply, not that she could go much further than she already was. Her face was still hidden by the way that she faced, and the blond hair that further sheltered her from other eyes in the room.
It was perfect! 8D
Sora exhaled softly and brought his hand off the back of Kairi's head in case she wanted to pull away or not. He gently set it on her back, his dazed blue eyes following the movement. It all felt so unreal, but it was undoubtedly reality. Namine took in a breath, and it was a little bit shaky. But that was alright with her, since she was holding back things that would have been much worse than that. Sobbing. Screaming. She just wanted to do something, anything, that could make this whole situation go away.
Sora pulled back after a moment, his eyes opening a crack. It was so surprising how he could be happy and content living his life one day and then so sorrowful today. But he supposed that things changed quickly sometimes, whether they liked it or not. Namine gripped Roxas' shirt more tightly again, forcing herself to swallow instead of releasing a sob. She had to compose herself...Her crying wasn't helping anyone here. Maybe herself, in a way, but not Roxas. For his sake, she had to be strong.
Buh Bye! =)
Sora leaned down and pressed his lips lightly against Kairi's head, giving her a kiss. He couldn't shake the feelings in his heart, but he could at least act like they weren't there for Kairi's sake. And for Roxas and Namine, as well; being strong would probably help things out. Namine bit her lip hard, her hand momentarily losing its tight grip on Roxas' shirt. The tears just kept flowing and flowing, being absorbed into his shirt. Her body had been tense before, but now it was pretty much limp due to her lack of the will to fight and sorrow.
Okay, no problem. See you tomorrow!
Sora let his hand stay still on the back of Kairi's head, his head lowering in turn to get closer to her. He couldn't bear to see her so sad...It pained him to no end. Namine shed a lot more tears, her head buried in his chest and her hand in a fist holding his shirt. The tears came out of nowhere...She was so shocked that all this was happening in the first place. Hurt, and upset.
Sora continued running a hand over Kairi's hair, his eyes shut tightly. He wouldn't release her anytime soon...He wanted to hold onto that beautiful girl as long as possible. Finally, the tears left Namine's eyes. She clenched his shirt more tightly as a sob shook her body, though no sounds were made. She couldn't hold it in anymore, not even if she wanted to.
Sora felt the tears on his shirt, and it made him hold Kairi a little more tightly. He wanted so badly to make the tears go away, but at that moment, he had no clue how to do that. It frustrated him almost as much as it saddened him. Namine felt as if the tears would leave right away, but she tried one last time to keep them inside. She couldn't break down now, she had to keep quiet. For the sake of Roxas and the other two people in the room, she couldn't start sobbing.
Why- Rascal Flatts This song breaks my heart...
Late dinner. xD But okay, I'll be here.
Sora held back a wince, Kairi's feelings making him physically hurt. He started to run a hand over the back of her red hair, feeling his own eyes get a bit moist. He couldn't believe he was leaving her...willingly, in a way. He was being forced in a way, but if he desperately wanted to, he could refuse. But at the same time, he couldn't. He couldn't run away from the troubles in other worlds just to make his life better. He wasn't that kind of person. Namine heard a sound leave her lips, an orphan sob, one that managed to somehow leave her lips. She clenched her eyes shut tightly and buried her face in Roxas' chest, one of her hands coming up to grab the fabric of his shirt.
Sora took in a deep breath and then released it, trying to compose himself. Now wasn't a time for him to be upset...That would come later, when he was all by himself. At the current moment, he was just so frustrated. He couldn't do anything to make things alright. Those thoughts made him feel like he wanted to move around and work out some of that tension, but he couldn't release the girl in his arms. Namine bit down harder on her lip, trying her hardest to keep the tears inside. She couldn't cry; she just couldn't. She couldn't let Roxas worry even more than he already was. He was leaving whether they liked it or not, so she would have to do her best and mask some of the pain. Obviously it would be impossible to mask it all, so she didn't bother trying to convince herself she was capable of that deceit.
Not Alone- Linkin Park
Sora stopped rubbing Kairi's back once again, suddenly feeling a new wave crash his heart. He had no idea it was caused by the tear Kairi shed, but he knew he needed to do something else, now. He lightly set his hand on the back of her head, the hand trembling faintly from his own sadness and fear. Namine opened her eyes a crack and looked down at her lap, seeing Roxas' hand over her two hands in her lap. They looked so...frail, compared to his. That was the best way she could describe it. She bit down on her lip lightly, tears starting to appear in her eyes. How would she survive without him..?
That we are. =)
Sora continued the gentle gesture, his eyes falling shut again. For now, he would just sit and hold the girl he loved in his arms. He didn't want to ever let go, but that would be necessary in a few days. As much as he hated to admit that truth, he couldn't just deny it and pretend that this wasn't for real. Unfortunately, it was. Namine shut her eyes, feeling them getting surprisingly moist. She couldn't cry, though...Roxas was already worried about her. It showed by the way he texted her a lot and rarely was apart from her side. Now, though, things were going to change drastically.
