I thought you did it on purpose. xD To make Namine notice that something wasn't quite normal.
"Okay, see you soon," Namine said, smiling weakly. She would look forward to seeing all her friends, as long as they didn't watch another scary movie. She almost said a joke about it right there and then, but something in Roxas' voice kept her from being so lighthearted. "Alright, see you there," Sora said gently. Kairi had no idea what was in store for her...The thought made his voice sound a little more serious than it had before.
Namine thought it was a bit weird how Roxas phrased it, but she wouldn't mind spending some time with all her friends. "Sure," she answered. "Right now?" If that were the case, she would quick freshen up; she was still in her pajama pants. "Hi, Kai," Sora greeted, masking his voice to cover any distress or sadness. "You think you could head over to Namine's? We're all gonna be there." And by all of them, he obviously meant himself, Roxas, and Namine.
I'm off now, see you later!
Namine heard her ring-tone go off and she immediately muted the television, reaching for the phone with her other hand. She flipped it open and saw that it was Roxas who was calling her. That wasn't surprising; they had been talking a lot lately. She brought the phone up to her ear, answering the call. "Hello?" Sora speed-dialed Kairi's number and then pulled the phone up to his ear. He wouldn't explain things just yet--that would happen when they were all at Namine's.
Dang, they're early. Dx Why am I not surprised? I think I can get in one more post though..If not, I'll see you later.
Namine was sitting on the couch, watching television special on special guitar-strumming techniques. She had been playing and learning more on the instrument lately as a distraction, and even if it hadn't been doing too much for her, it was a good way to kill time. Sora nodded slightly and pulled out his phone. "I'll call Kairi and tell her to meet us there," he said. He preferred speaking aloud to her most of the time, even if they could communicate through their hearts. He was afraid that if they spoke that way, she could better sense that something was wrong.
Less than a half hour. But I'll be back later tonight, probably around 7 my time.
Sora sighed and brought a hand to the back of his head, shaking his head a little bit. "I have no idea," he confessed. "But we can't procrastinate; This is too important to keep from them." And it would be impossible for him to keep from Kairi, anyway, because of their natural connection.
...Too bad I have to get off soon. Dx Family's coming over.
Sora looked up, immediately recognizing what Roxas was thinking about by his tone of voice and facial expression. "I'm surprised Kairi hasn't realized something is wrong yet," he confessed aloud. Their hearts were connected, and he was sure things didn't seem normal on his side. He was in shock, so he didn't really know what emotions he was feeling. Soon, though, he was sure things would sink in.
I'm glad. xD Sure. =)
Sora nodded, not looking up. "Yes," he responded simply. "As soon as I finished reading it over, I called you. And here we are." Any other time, the last sentence may have come across as a joke, but today, things were far too serious for them to laugh that easily.
I thought it sounded like that. xD I guess I misunderstood. ;D Obviously. xD Good job.
Sora furrowed his brows and looked down at the ground, crossing his arms more tightly. It wasn't a question of if he and Roxas would go help Riku; obviously they would. But their simple, mostly peaceful lives on Earth were being shattered for a while, and that didn't sit well with him. And judging by the tone of voice Roxas used when reading the letter, it didn't sit well with him, either.
Well, you did say you would write the letter. xD
Sora exhaled a silent breath, looking down at the ground. Of course Riku wouldn't want to intrude; Deep down inside, Sora believed Riku still felt a little guilty over what happened a few years ago. Even though Sora had openly forgiven him, his friend wasn't so quick to forgive himself. He was trying to do a service by killing the heartless by himself and not involving Sora, but now he needed help doing that, according to the letter.
Sora looked up and nodded seriously. "Read it aloud," he requested. "I honestly feel like I'm in a bad dream or something." Maybe hearing the words from somebody else would help him snap out of the daze and realize that this was for real.
Sora folded his arms across his chest, and looked down at the floor, deep in thought. Surely Roxas realized what this letter meant. Things were going to change for them--drastically.
Sora reached into his back pocket and pulled out the folded up letter, the teen explaining things while he performed the movement. "I got a letter in the mail," he said, holding the letter out in front of him a bit. "I think you should check it out."
