Kingdom Hearts- FFM V3!

Sora felt his faint smile grow as he turned his head, his eyes falling on Kairi. Gosh, he loved her. He loved her more than he loved his own life. In fact, that girl deserved so much love, he didn't know how to supply that. But Kairi seemed content with how their relationship was, so he naturally felt the same. "I don't think I'll ever be able to let her go," Sora said without thought, that small smile still on his lips as he gazed at the redhead.

 

"I know what you mean." Roxas's love for Namine was very strong, strong enough to fight off fate itself. After all they had gone through, he knew that they would remain inseparable. They fought hard for each other, and they overcame the obstacles destiny threw at them. And because of that, their relationship was at its strongest. If anything else came their way, the strength would only continue to grow. Roxas fought for Namine, protecting her and defending her, acting as her guardian angel. Like Sora with Kairi, Roxas wouldn't be able to let Namine go. That was apparent after what happened a few weeks ago.

 

There had been so many trials during the past few monthes, and at some points, things didn't look too good. But no matter what circumstances, Sora and Kairi had stuck together. They resolved their problems and faced the world hand in hand. Together, they could handle any problems that life threw at them. After everything, Sora had no doubt that was true.

 

Naturally, Roxas's eyes roamed the area around Namine's position, his smile fading a little as he did so. His protective nature was kicking in now that she wasn't beside him, even if she wasn't that far away. Roxas knew that he would always be that way with Namine, and he had no problem with it. He never would. Namine mattered to him, more than anything else. Protecting her and keeping her safe at all costs was very important to him.

 

Most of the time, Sora and Kairi were on the same page. But that night had been the most drastic thing to happen within their relationship. Fate had tested them before, but this time, it was an action that Kairi took that made things a challenge. Did she mean to hurt him? No, of course not. That was just one unfortunate result of all that. But now that they were alright again, Sora was going to be sure that he knew if her opinion was different than his. He wasn't going to let her go behind his back again. He saw it as protecting both of them from emotional pain, and that was exactly how it worked.

 

Roxas felt his mucles relax slightly when he discovered...nothing. There wasn't any harm around Namine, and that always made Roxas feel a little better. No, that was an understatement. That knowledge always made him feel a lot better. Namine's well-being was number one, and that would never change.

 

Sora's smile faded completely as he reflected on what had happened. Kairi had been doing what she thought was best, under Roxas' supervision. The blond had come close to failing to protect her back in the warehouse, and that thought made Sora a bit more tense. Kairi was so important to him, and if she would have been hurt then, he would have been as well. She was a huge part of him, and no matter what, she always would be. Sora wasn't going to let go of her any time soon.

 

Of course, Namine's importance to Roxas and his love for her were the sole reasons as to why he went after her that night. When...he had taken her away from him, Roxas had been heartbroken, which unfortunately led him to react with the emotions that only he was able to bring up in him. Roxas had sought Sora for help...but that didn't really go as he had hoped either.

 

Kairi meant everything to him, and if he had lost her...Sora swallowed at the thought, the teen surprised at the emotions that came up in his heart. He scoffed softly, trying to rid himself of those emotions. He had gotten over what had happened a long time ago...hadn't he? Then why were the emotions returning?

 

And because of what happened amidst all of that...well, that was led Roxas and Sora to where they were now, with the help of Namine and Kairi too. But he figured it would've happened sooner or later. Fate had a way of turning things around. It had tested Roxas and Namine numerous times within the last few months, and he was sure it tested Sora and Kairi too. So...was it testing him and Sora this time?

 

Sora let his eyes wander the area, making sure that there was no threat to Kairi or Namine. His eyes and facial expression were completely serious, the teen not taking their safety lightly. He never had, and he certainly wasn't going to start that nasty habit now.

 

Roxas started to feel the tension come back. But...he guessed it never left; he just forgot about it temporarily. By now, his smile had completely faded, and now he was just looking past Namine and Kairi's position, at the lake. He exhaled a breath silently, wondering how this exactly was going to turn out now that the serious thoughts were running through his mind again.

 

Sora inhaled a breath before releasing it, tension surrounding him again. He wasn't sure when things had changed, probably when he was deep in thought. But now that the air was so thick again, Sora knew he and Roxas had to speak about what really mattered at that moment.

 

Roxas let his eyes fall to the grass, subconciously bringing a hand up and scratching the back of his head. How could this conversation start off? So far he and Sora had managed to dodge it, but they couldn't do it any longer, it seemed. Roxas knew that he was the main one at fault here, but he wasn't sure what to say...

 

There was a tree by the bench that the girls were on, and Sora focused his gaze on that, staring at it blankly. The silence between the two boys was so heavy now, and Sora was sure he wasn't the only one feeling it. After all, he and Roxas had a brother-like connection, and often times, they could sense what the other was thinking. Of course, anybody could sense what they were both thinking about at that moment.

 

"Um..." Roxas started hesitantly, rubbing his head slightly. He lowered his arm to his side again, furrowing his eyebrows slightly as he tried to come up with something to say. This was going to be a little hard for him...and probably Sora too, if not uncomfortable.

 

Sora glanced at Roxas, seeing his eyebrows furrowed slightly. And then he looked away again, focusing on that tree. Roxas would probably speak again in a few moments, so Sora decided to just wait until that happened. After all, he had no clue what to say in this awkward, tense situation.

 

Roxas pressed his lips together for a moment, trying to come up with something to say. His eyes studied the grass as he ran through his thoughts, trying to put together a sentence that would make sense. And then he finally found something, but it was very blunt. "...Maybe we shouldn't dodge the real problem anymore," he suggested softly, keeping his eyes down.

 

Sora lowered his gaze, hearing Roxas' quiet words. As much as he did want to avoid the real problem, he also knew that they had to sort things out. If they didn't, well, things would never be right. Even if they put it behind them and just pretended things were fine, both girls would see through the act. They were both smart like that. "Right," Sora agreed softly, his eyes staying on the grass next to the path.

 

Roxas closed his eyes for a second, knowing that he had a huge apology to give to Sora. He just had to find the right words, though that proved more difficult than he originally thought. He had a lot to say sorry for, but mainly for what he got Kairi involved in. That was probably what this was mostly about...about deception. And Roxas knew it wasn't going to be an easy conversation.

OOC: Gotta go for the night. Maybe I'll see you tomorrow? If not, it's okay. =) See you later!
