Kingdom Hearts- FFM V3!

Sora didn't want to leave Kairi alone here, but really, he couldn't force himself to stay awake. He was still feeling tired physically, both because of the sickness and from the injuries he had recieved earlier. But the medicine was probably having the largest effect on him.

 

Kairi took in a soft breath, lowering her gaze to the bed. She felt the warmth from being close to Sora, his arm around her shoulders. She was so glad to be in his arms again...after everyone had to deal with Smith. But he was gone now, and Kairi had the chance to be with Sora for a long time.

 

Sora could feel himself slipping, and there was nothing he could do to stop it. He inhaled a breath before silently releasing it, his arm around Kairi becoming a little more lose (but still strong enough to be supportive) as he drifted into unconciousness.

 

Kairi exhaled a breath silently, feeling Sora's arm loosen slightly around her. She guessed he was already leaving conciousness. She continued to look at the bed, keeping her head against Sora's shoulder as the boy slept. His even breathing started to enter her ears, and out of the corner of her eye, she could see his chest rise and fall.

 

Sora's legs laid out in front of him as he slept, Kairi still under his arm. Even in his unconcious state, he recognized her gentle prescence. He was so glad she was there; it was really helping him feel better. Or was that the medicine? No, it was definitly Kairi who was making him recover more quickly than he would have with just medicine.

 

Kairi inhaled a soft breath and then exhaled it silently, taking in the silence. It was calm, peaceful, not uncomfortable or heavy with emotion. She was actually relaxing after everything that happened, and that was somewhat of a relief. She could especially relax with Sora next to her, now that he was okay...apart from his illness.

 

OOC: I'm assuming it's time gap time. =D I suppose I shall lead...

Sora leaned his head back against the pillows, a soft sigh leaving him as he performed the motion without thought. He had been asleep for a little while; he had no idea how long, but he had indeed fallen asleep. But now that he was starting to wake up again, he was faintly aware of the presence of another figure beside him.

 

Kairi was fiddling with her fingers when she noticed the movement beside her. The room was a little darker now that it had grown later, the girl having layed there next to Sora for a few hours. She didn't mind, though; she was next to him, and that was never boring.

 

Sora lifted his free hand without thought, wiping at some hair that had come into his face while he was asleep. He tiredly opened his eyes a crack, immediatly noticing that the room was darker than he remembered it being a little while ago.

 

Kairi glanced to her side, Sora's form coming into view. She noticed he was awake, his eyes being open a little. She felt herself smile slightly as she focused her attention on her hands in her lap; he was always adorable whenever he woke up.

 

Sora blinked several times as he lowered his hand to his lap, the teen forcing himself awake. His eyes scanned the room, and he noticed again how dark it was. How long had he been out, anyway...? He could tell by the lighting that it had been a few hours. He brought Kairi closer to him without thought, just then remembering that she was still beside him.

 

Kairi felt herself being drawn closer to Sora, and she turned her head slightly to look at him. Her smile had faded, her expression relaxed as she looked at the boy next to her.

 

Sora blinked once more, feeling a soft gaze on him. Before he even thought about it, he looked over at the girl beside him and met her violet-blue orbs. She didn't look upset with him for falling asleep...in fact, she looked pretty comfortable. He smiled weakly, his tiredness still showing on his features somewhat.

 

Kairi felt her small smile form again at the sight of Sora's, and the tiredness expressed on his features. Half of that smile came because he was still adorable when he was slightly sleepy.

 

Sora suddenly felt embarrassed, not liking it when people saw him when he was tired. But Kairi had seen him groggy a lot, so he should have been used to it. And besides, if anyone was going to see him in such an embarrassing state, then Sora would have liked it to have been Kairi. Surely she didn't care if he was always groggy when he woke up; she had put up with him before, after all.

 

Kairi kept her eyes on Sora's for a second, her smile softening slightly. "Hi," she greeted quietly. "Feeling a little better?" Even if the room was dimmer, she could still see Sora's expression, but she couldn't really read it and be able to tell if he was feeling better or worse.

 

Sora's faint smile reappeared at Kairi's greeting, and then softened at her question. He was still a little too groggy to tell, but he did feel a tiny bit better. "A little," he answered quietly, holding Kairi's gaze for the first time in a while.

 

"That's good," Kairi said softly. A little better was not better at all, and Kairi would take a little better over nothing. It had only been a few hours. Her eyes stayed connected with Sora's, a hint of drowsiness in his blue eyes.

 

Sora nodded faintly in agreement. Even though he did feel a little sick at that moment, it wasn't nearly as bad as it was earlier. At least he hadn't woken up covered in sweat this time...that was definitly one thing to be thankful for. Whatever was going on, he was sure he would recover from it...and hopefully soon.

 

Kairi felt the corners of her lips turn up slightly as she held Sora's gaze. His piercing blue eyes were easily visible in the dim lighting, but she could still make out the grogginess. Maybe he was still a little tired...or maybe not. Sora wasn't the easiest person to read, so Kairi didn't really know nor did she really care; if Sora wanted to go back to sleep, he could. If not, well that was okay too. It had been quiet while she sat there the past few hours, but it wasn't lonely. Sora was right next to her, so she was perfectly comfortable with it. Kairi let her gaze fall from Sora's eyes as she moved her head, letting it rest against Sora's shoulder again.
