Namine? I have something for you.

Oh?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*shy sort of smile*

I told you that I'd get you something, and... I finally found it. *shuffles a little nervously, pulling out two small packages*

[sparkle-witch.livejournal.com]

*smiles, secretly very pleased* Riku, you didn't have to!

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*brushes the hair away from your face gently, then touches your cheek with his fingertips*

I told you that I wanted to. Because... not just to apologize but... because I. I want to and I want you to know I... I care for you.

*kinda goes a bit pink in the face and offers up the two packages; the first has a set of oil pastel crayons and the second box has a silver heart-shaped locket*

[sparkle-witch.livejournal.com]

*blinks at the necklace, not quite sure what to do with it* Riku... I...

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*shuffles a little nervously again, not looking at you*

It's... it's a locket. And you can, you know, put more than one picture inside, so you can always have the people who are important to you near. I thought... I thought you might like it. *starts to babble, feeling unsure* But... I picked the wrong one, didn't I? Do you hate it? I can... I can get you something else. Anything else.

[sparkle-witch.livejournal.com]

*smiles happily* No, I love it! Will you put it on me?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*blinks, then grins when you say you like it, a slight pink flush over his cheeks*

Of course I will! *he carefully unhooks the chain, then settles the locket around your neck, his fingers brushing the back of your neck* Can you hold up your hair? This hook is kinda small...

[sparkle-witch.livejournal.com]

*sweeps her hair off her neck and sits quietly*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*fiddles with the hook then finally snaps it closed, then drops a kiss on the nape of your neck, sliding his arms around your waist*

Happy?

[sparkle-witch.livejournal.com]

*nods with a smile* yes, thank you

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*stays wrapped around you and looks over your shoulder at where the locket sits just above the top of your dress and smiles*


I'm happy now, too. I... it hurt when you were upset with me.

[sparkle-witch.livejournal.com]

*sighs* Then don't be an idiot and I won't get mad at you. *has a stubborn streak she's not afraid to let Ri know about*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*closes his eyes and nuzzles your hair*

I'll... try not to be. I don't want you to be unhappy like that again. Just... tell me when I'm being stupid and I'll stop.

[sparkle-witch.livejournal.com]

*reaches over and pats your head*

It's all right. Now that you know not to, you won't, right?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

I won't. *turns his head into your petting then nuzzles the side of your neck* I've missed you, Namine. I guess that sounded better in my head.

[sparkle-witch.livejournal.com]

*giggles* I missed you too

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*lays little teasing kisses along your neck and shoulders now, his hands giving your hips a squeeze*

You just... make me all warm and sappy inside.

[sparkle-witch.livejournal.com]

*smiles, knowing exactly what you're aiming for* Riku, don't even think about it.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*sighs, stopping the kissing, but keeping his hands where they are*

Well, I had to try, didn't I? It wouldn't be right if I didn't.

[sparkle-witch.livejournal.com]

*amused* Of course. It doesn't mean I have to let you.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*pouts but figures you probably haven't forgiven him quite yet and just stays hugging you*

No... you don't. But. Just let me be near you?

[sparkle-witch.livejournal.com]

*smiles* You don't have to ask for that

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Just making sure. *gives you a little smile, then settles in as close as he can get against you*

... but besides this... I just want to make sure about something. *a bit worried* Have you seen Marluxia around?

[sparkle-witch.livejournal.com]

*goes cold* Marluxia?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*feels your reaction and holds you closer, unconsciously trying to protect you from what he's about to say*

... dammit. I thought Axel or Roxas would've told you. Marluxia. He's... he's not dead. *growls under his breath* He's back in Castle Oblivion.

[sparkle-witch.livejournal.com]

*struggles, the old fear cropping up again* we have to get away! NOW!

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

OOC:

*beats the hell out of LJ* It ate your comment. ;__; I got it in my inbox and messages, but it won't show up in the thread.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*turns you around in his arms so you're facing each other, but keeps you pressed protectively close against his chest*

Namine... Namine, please calm down. This isn't the Castle. This isn't like it was before. I'll protect you for sure this time. *is very worried but doesn't want you to be so afraid, so he sucks up his pride* And... and if I can't, there's Sora and Roxas and Real Thing, too. And Axel and Demyx, and even Kairi.

*very fierce look in his eyes* I won't let him touch you ever again.

OOC

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

... nevermind. >_>;; LJ decided to show it after I posted. Stupid thing.

[sparkle-witch.livejournal.com]

No, no, no! We have to leave! I have to leave! *still trying to get away, frantic in her movements* I don't care who's here, it's still not good! HE'S here!

[sparkle-witch.livejournal.com]

uh.....wtf?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*is surprised by your actions, but holds onto you anyway, trying not to hurt you*

He's not here! He's not on Destiny Islands! *tries to calm you down, unsure why you've suddenly freaked out* Namine! Namine, Sora killed him the last time, and Sora's alot stronger now. There's so many Keyblades here, Marluxia won't be stupid enough to try anything.

Please... please don't be so afraid...

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*points to other comment* Sorry, false alarm. LJ is just being a bitch to me tonight. ^^;;

[sparkle-witch.livejournal.com]

*has gotten her hands over her ears and is shaking, eyes wide and totally terrified*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*doesn't know what to do besides keep you close and rock you gently*

Namine... tell me what's wrong. Please? Why are you so afraid? *a sudden stab of cold goes through him and he looks at you closely, his chest hurting*

... what did Marluxia do to hurt you? I'll kill him for it.

[sparkle-witch.livejournal.com]

*shakes her head, eyes closed tightly, hands tight over her ears* No, no, no, no, no, no, no...

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he starts to get angry, hating Marluxia even more for causing this sort of reaction from you, and practically crushes you against his chest, shaking from the overload of emotions*

I'll kill him. I'll kill him. Right now. You can stay near Roxas and he'll protect you while I'm gone and I'll fucking rip Marluxia apart with my bare hands if I have to.

*runs one hand through your hair, looking at you affectionately* If Marluxia is dead for good, you'll be happy again, right? Then I'll make it happen.

[sparkle-witch.livejournal.com]

*grabs onto you* NO! He'll hurt you too! You...he's... *at a loss for words, settles for biting her lip*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*runs his fingers through your hair again, and just smiles for you*

I don't care if he hurts me, Namine. He's hurt me before, and I'm used to it. But I won't let him hurt you, even in memories. This isn't the Castle, and I'm stronger now, and I'll kill him so you can smile again.

[sparkle-witch.livejournal.com]

*tugs on your hand demandingly* NO! Don't be stupid! He hurt you before, and he hurt me, what makes you think he's going to not hurt anyone else! The others have hearts now! He's going to be all over them! WE have to hide, get away... let the others know to leave too....

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*shakes his head, pressing a kiss to your forehead and then pulling away alittle* I don't think he'd try to pull something here, with so many Keyblades around. But you, Namine... you and everyone else...

Once he's dead, there won't be anything to worry about, right? I promised to protect you, so I'll do it. I won't let him near you.

*summons Soul Eater to his hand*

[sparkle-witch.livejournal.com]

Don't be stupid! A Keyblade isn't going to do anything to him! He came back once, what makes you think he's not going to back again!

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Well, I'd be a crappy protector if I didn't try to protect you. I have to try. And even if he doesn't die, maybe he'll just learn to stay as far away from us as possible.
