Thirty-First Shower-[Written, dated to be during Xion's battle]

[During Xion's all-out village fight, Kairi stayed behind with Sora in their apartment. Currently she's more or less keeping a vigil over the still unconcious brunette but she'll occasionally glance out the window to watch what's happening with everybody and Xion.]

Well, at least they're keeping it away from the village a bit. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be more worried about, the people fighting her, or the fact that they're trying to kill her.

~~Riku, you could have told me you were going to go before you just ran off.~~

I'm not even sure who's out there fighting, but knowing that Riku, Axel, and Roxas are out there definitely isn't that settling. Who knows who else is risking themselves right now?

I have no idea if the ones fighting her are going to have time to check this, but if you're reading this later? Let me know.

...well, that's just depressing. Um. Hey! What's everybody else doing? Somebody change the subject for me. ~~Please?~~

[...Oh god, heartbreak is the right word for that. Sora's face visibly falls.]

...We're just gonna be here for him when he does come home, then.

[She can't even look at him, but their expressions probably match now.]

Already planning on it. I'm so worried about him though.

Me too, but if we go after him, he'll just run away. We gotta be patient.

[He's not good at that, but he's going to do his best for Riku.]

...Riku's just like you. He always comes back, too, even when he purposely tries to hide from us. It's just hard to wait, you know that.

...Yeah, I know. I just don't like it.

[But what else can they do? If they go after him, he'll run away. All they can do is be there where he can find them when he wants to.]

He'll be back soon. I just know it. [Still, that doesn't stop her from pressing her face into his shoulder again. Sigh.]

[And Sora just holds on to her, awkwardly and softly stroking her hair again.]

It'll be okay Kairi - I'm back, you can relax now.

[She just makes herself comfortable, curling up close and closing her eyes.]

I know...you tend to make things okay. I trust you on that.

[He won't object to that at all. In fact, he'll kiss the top of her head to reassure her.]

That's kind of my job... We'll get through this. We can get through anything together.

[That definitely makes her feel better thank you very much.] I know we will. We always do. [Don't mind her, she'sgetting really comfortable.]

[He doesn't mind that at all, really.]

Yeah, through anything. All for one and one for all, right?

[She has to giggle at that a bit though.]

Since when are we Musketeers?

[And since she giggles, he grins.]

We always stick together and we've known- okay, come on, it works!

You're right, it does work. Doesn't make it any less funny though. [It's not that funny, but she's just happy to have Sora back and talking and being the cheesy hero he is.]

Yeah, I guess not. But it works. [Just to be clear on that.]

[And Sora goes silent for a few moments, then hugs her just a little bit tighter.]

I missed you, Kairi.

Yeah, sure.

[But that stuns her a little back into serious-mode. She figured as much, but it's always really nice to hear it so yeah, snuggling and hugging right back and not caring how sappy they're being right now.]

I know...you know the feeling's mutual.

Yeah... I sure do.

[And another pause, and he gathers his courage-]

I... I love you. Always have. [Always will.]

...[Pausing. Staring. Blinking. More staring.]

...you mean that?

I, uh- [Now that wasn't the reaction he was expecting. Did he screw up somehow?]

Y-yeah, I do. [It's kind of half a question 'cause he's wondering if she didn't want to hear it.]

[Oh no. No, she wanted to hear it. Just...surprised.]

I'm just amazed you said it. [Have a tighter hug in that case because ahhhh gleeee.]

[He'll hold on to her tighter as well, still kind of stuttery over actually saying it.]

I-It's been a long time, so I thought- It was- I-I just wanted to.

[Aww, she wasn't going to say it back?]

[Clearly, Sora's a derp. And it's kind of adorable and kind of special all at once.]

I'm glad you did...makes it easier to say I love you too.

[Oh look at that, now he's red. Sora actually hasn't been awkward about this kind of stuff for awhile, since he did get used to it and used to the idea of them being "together." But actually saying it makes him revert back a little - after all, it was a risk. But he's turning red again, because he wanted to hear that too, and holding her about as close as he can.]

I think I like hearing that.

[Don't worry, Sora, she finds it rather endearing actually. So have a kiss to the cheek.]

And I think I like saying it, so we're in a good place.

[And he likes that too. This is just a lot to like.]

Good to know. Maybe I'll say it again someday.

[Okay that's a light tease...]
