Namine was surprised at the request, but not bothered by it at all. In fact, it would make her feel better if somebody was nearby. Maybe that would keep away the nightmares. "Sure," she said, a small smile appearing on her lips.
Namine blinked, opening her eyes fully to look at Roxas. "I hope so," she responded quietly. She was tired, and she felt decent. She was shaken up, but she hoped it wouldn't keep her awake. Or trigger any more nightmares...
Namine softly exhaled a breath, her tired eyes wandering to Ty. Ty had been quiet for a while now, and Namine saw now that he was lying down again, his eyes shut. He was probably still tired from everything that happened before...or maybe he was just relaxing. Namine couldn't tell, but she wished that she were asleep again. She could hardly keep her eyes open.
Okie-dokie. =)
Namine blinked twice, bringing up a hand to rub her eye. The storm outside wasn't so intimidating now, even thought he power was still out. The nightmare--no, the memory--had startled her, but she felt better with Roxas nearby. It was an unexplainable feeling. Sadness mixed with peace. Fright mixed with hope.
=( So, I had this idea that maybe Roxas could sit next to Namine on the couch and hum her to sleep, and then she'd have a dream and recall that...
Namine's faint smile widened slightly, her heart skipping a beat. She held Roxas' gaze, feeling much better than she had a few minutes ago. A soft rumble of thunder interrupted the moment, and the girl turning her head slightly to the window. It was still very dark out, and still raining. She figured it must have been the middle of the night. That would explain why she still felt so tired.
Indeed. xD Ugh, this site is annoying me. =/ Stupid lagging.
Namine smiled weakly, one last tear slowly sliding down her cheek. She didn't move to wipe it away, and she acted like she didn't even know it was there. The blond kept telling herself that things would be alright. She didn't find this comfort from herself, but from the look in Roxas' eyes. There was just something about those bright blue eyes that made her feel safe...
Well, I only went after I saw your message. xD But it was convenient you went away so I could satisfy my desire for food. xP
Namine nodded faintly, eyes opening up again as she looked at Roxas. "I'm okay," she said softly. "Really, I'm fine." She brought up a hand, tucking back a strand of blond hair. "Sorry for waking you, Roxas."
Alrighty. =) I disappeared for a lot of that time to get myself dinner. ;D
Namine lowered her eyes at Roxas' movement, a soft breath leaving her lips. Things were alright now...Roxas was there with her. She didn't know why it was so reassuring for her to have him there with her, but it was. She heard Ty wimper softly, the dog sitting next to where Roxas was. Namine didn't bother looking at her pet, too busy trying to compose herself.
Namine looked at Roxas with round blue eyes, her innocence lost. She didn't know such terrible things could happen to a girl like her...apparently she had been assaulted before. Or maybe it was even worse than that. And that scared her, because she knew what she had seen wasn't a dream--it was a memory. She held Roxas' gaze even as she brought up a hand, wiping at a tear that had just fallen from her eye.
Namine blinked, a few more tears sliding down her cheeks. She felt herself calm down at Roxas' touch, and she finally felt like she found words to say. She just hoped that unlike her dream, the words would be audible. "N-nightmare," she said, sniffling. "I'm o-okay." Honestly, she wasn't sure if either were true. Was it a nightmare or was it a memory? And was she okay, or was she losing it?
Namine released her legs, Roxas's touch not even disturbing or surprising her. Sure, it hadn't been expected, but nothing could have shaken her up more than her dream already had. The blond girl looked up at the boy beside her, a few tears running down her cheeks. She sniffed and took in a breath, trying to regain control of herself.
Ty barked twice besides Namine, the loyal dog rising to his feet as he stared anxiously at his master. Namine, however, didn't notice. She bit her lip to hush the scream, the cry turning into a whimper. She pulled her legs up and wrapped her arms around them, the girl sobbing into her knees.
Namine, still lying on the couch and still asleep, wasn't feeling the peace she had expected. Her thoughts from the previous day had been extremely chaotic, so deep down inside, she had been hoping for a peaceful slumber. However, there was no peace about this. It was a nightmare...a true, terrifying nightmare. There was a scene in front of her--A man in a black hood, standing on the walkway to her house. And there she was, standing right by her front door. The Namine in her dreams was speaking, but she couldn't hear anything. Her mouth may have been moving, but no words were coming out. Same for the man who was looking back at her. But then, suddenly, he moved forward and grabbed onto her, gripping her tightly. Finally, noise could be heard. The Namine in her dreams screamed loudly, but the man didn't release her--he gripped harder. And he laughed Namine bolted upright on the couch, a scream leaving her lips.
Maybe after Kairi responds to Sora. xD Then I can start it, if you want me to.
"I love you, Kai," Sora said softly. "I promise, I'll always be there with you." Even if something were to happen to him someday--a topic he didn't dwell on--he would still be with her in spirit. They were connected, now and forever.
