Kingdom Hearts- FFM V3!

Sora held Kairi's gaze, noticing some concern in their depths. "Not really," Sora admitted honestly. "I'd rather stay with you." He was surprised that he was being so bold, not only at that moment, but all throughout the night. A sheepish smile started to appear on his lips, and he brought his free hand to the back of his head in slight embarrassment.

 

Kairi felt her lips form a small smile at Sora's kind words, but also at his apparent embarrassment; his smile and motion gave that one away, and Kairi recognized what it meant after all these years of knowing the boy. But of course, he had no reason to be embarrassed in front of her. Kairi wasn't one to judge, not really. And since this was Sora she was with, she would never judge him negatively.

 

A single chuckle left Sora's lips, showing even more the awkwardness he felt. Gosh, why did he have to be so easily embarrassed? His friends always teased him for that, and for good reason; he was very easily embarrassed. Even in an insignificant situaiton like this.

 

Kairi's smile grew at Sora's chuckle, the girl gazing at him in slight admiration. Even if it wasn't planned, Sora knew how to brighten a moment. She shook her head slightly with her smile still on her lips. "You're too adorable sometimes, you know that?" Kairi spoke softly, her eyes on Sora's.

 

Sora chuckled again, that being his response to Kairi's soft-spoken words. He wouldn't consider this as adorable, but he knew that Kairi thought he was cute when he was embarrassed. He ran his hand over the back of his head a few times, that sheepish smile still on his lips as he gazed up at Kairi.

 

Kairi heard one soft giggle escape her lips as she gazed at Sora. She looked at him for a moment before letting her eyes fall on her hand still in his, her teeth becoming hidden by her lips again as her smile softened slightly. Whenever he got nervous around her, like he was when he was trying to tell her about the Ball tickets, or was slightly embarrassed, like now, Sora really was adorable. She could never hide a smile from him at moments like those.

 

Sora's cheeks reddened slightly, even more than they already were from his sickness. He felt a little less pressure when Kairi's eyes left him. His smile started to soften, and he let his hand become still against the back of his head. His chuckles faded, and as the silence surrounded them again, he let his eyes fall to the floor.

 

Kairi kept her eyes on Sora's hand within hers, the girl beginning to let her thumb stroke his smooth skin. She appreciated his words earlier, about wanting to be with her. Even if it was something small, it meant a lot to her; she loved him so much, and she wanted nothing more at that moment than to be with him as well.

 

Sora looked up a little bit, seeing Kairi's thumb lightly stroking his hand. It was very soothing, though he had to acknowledge that he wasn't too comfortable sitting on the floor any more. He had been there for a while, and the fact that he was feeling sick only added some stiffness to his body.

 

Kairi realized that now she could spend time with Sora, by taking care of him while he got over his illness. She had done it before and she would surely do it again, wanting nothing but to be sure he was okay. She loved him, and because she cared for him, she would make sure Sora got over this bump in the road. Kairi was going to be with him every step of the way, as long as he wanted her there.

 

Sora silently exhaled, lowering his gaze to the floor again. He let his eyes close for a few moments, the teen hoping that would sooth his headache. But when it had no affect, he opened his eyes halfway again, gazing blankly at the floor. He had no idea how serious this sickness was. Would it kill him in the end? No, he wouldn't let that happen. He had survived the first attack, things only had to get better now. That was something he was sure of.

 

Kairi lifted her head slightly, looking at Sora with her violet-blue eyes. Her smile softened a little more at his expression, though she couldn't really decipher the meaning behind it. His cobalt blue eyes stuck out against the darkness of the room, and Kairi started to wonder if maybe they should either turn a light on or go out into the living room. Since Sora said he didn't want to rest, but be with her, maybe this way he could do both.

 

Sora blinked one time, lost in thought. Whatever had happened, Sora felt as if the worst was behind him. He was feeling sick, but it wasn't as bad as earlier. Was it because of the medicine? Or was the gas simply losing its affect on him? He really didn't know which to believe as truth.

 

"You know," Kairi started softly, "if you don't want to lay down or anything, maybe we can watch some TV or something." She thought that maybe Sora could also change into some lighter clothes, considering he was sweating. Or maybe he wanted to take a nice hot shower to relax? "I'm sure you're not that comfortable on the floor," she added quietly, her small smile growing a little.

 

Sora looked up at that final statement, catching Kairi's eyes. Gosh, she knew him so well. He smiled weakly, holding her gaze for a moment before speaking. "That sounds nice," he said quietly, referring to sitting in the living room. It would be relaxing, and he was sure it would be more comfortable than sitting on his knees on the ground.

 

Kairi felt her smile widen slightly, her eyes now connected with Sora's. She nodded once in agreement, glad that he seemed to like her idea.

 

Sora gently squeezed Kairi's hand before loosening his grip slightly. His gaze never left her eyes, the teen not wanting to look away for even a second.

 

Kairi's smile softened at Sora's gesture to her hand. She could clearly see his bright blue eyes in the dim lighting, which only reminded her that she had no idea what time it was.

 

Sora's smile softened, his eyes staying connected to Kairi's a few more moments before he lowered his gaze to the floor. He removed his hand from the back of his head and set it on the ground, pressing it against the carpet as he started getting one foot underneath himself.

 

Kairi lowered her gaze, following Sora's movement with her eyes. She moved her feet back slightly so he didn't have to worry about accidentally stepping on her feet. She highly doubted he was worried about that, though; he was always careful with her.
