it's about DAMN TIME
[It'd been a couple of days since Riku had dragged Sora's ass back to the islands. It hadn't been easy to readjust to being around everyone again -- it'd felt like ten fucking years instead of one that he was by himself.
By himself, for the first time ever. No Riku, no Kairi, no one inside his heart to at least let him think that he's not alone. He was completely alone, save for Yozora, and...their encounter hadn't gone well either.
He slept a lot, honestly. To kind of avoid everyone, because for the first time in his entire life, he doesn't feel like pretending everything's okay. Kairi and Riku would typically call him a lazy bum, but they kept those words to themselves this time, instead just being a semi-constant presence to make sure that Sora's okay.
But then it hits him in the middle of the night, when he should be sleeping but he's not. That he needs to stop being like this -- because Kairi had been alone, Riku had been alone...
Namine had been alone. Her entire existence, she had been alone with people who didn't care about her.
Sora almost feels ashamed not going to see her sooner, and he finally jumps out of bed. He's got to do at least this one thing, because she deserves it. Even if he doesn't remember his time in Castle Oblivion, the promise to thank her weighs so heavy on his heart that he knows he has to do it now.
But first, he stops by the store. He got her a couple of things -- some flowers, a stuffed rabbit, and some chocolates. Girls like those things, right? Sora doesn't exactly have time to get Kairi's opinion, and even if he had initially forced himself to get up and moving again, doing something for someone else is already lightening his mood. All of his friends deserved something, honestly, for working so hard to bring him back, but Namine was first.
Namine had waited too long already.
She was staying with Kairi, for now -- and when Sora shows up at her door, Kairi looks kind of puzzled. But then he asks where Namine is, and she looks over his gift (that he'd stuffed into a obnoxiously pink bag, minus the flowers) before smirking and pointing to the room she was in.
Sora takes a deep breath, before he starts off, thanking Kairi as he steps into her house and going to where she'd said Namine was...
He knocks on the wall a bit as he pokes his head into the room, just to announce his presence, even if he's suddenly starting to feel a bit awkward. Even though he doesn't really know why he's feeling awkward, because it's Namine, it's one of his friends...!!
Maybe it's the memory bullshit. That's probably it.]
Um...hey, Namine!
[At least he's getting perky again...?]

That didn’t mean his arrival was any less exciting. A smile came to her face as he flopped to the ground next to her, so happy and nonchalant, as always. The way he was so relaxed and happy all the time was beyond her, especially given what he had gone through, but she was glad to see some things never changed.]
It’s okay. I’m sure I’ll like anything you brought. [She really wasn’t terribly picky! She liked experiencing all kinds of new things. It was hard to hate anything when she went so long without anything.]

You gotta end up not liking something. So that's why I need to be careful!
[And he pulls out a bag of chocolate covered pretzels, handing them to her as he pulls out his own bag of chips.]
Hope you like your star watchin' snacks.

When he pulled out the chocolate covered pretzels, she laughed, unable to help but smile as she took the bag he offered to her.]
I do, thank you. These will be perfect.
[Everything about this was going to be perfect.]

[He shifts in his seat, glancing at her again before the sky.]
I hope you didn't wait too long. I was trying to find a telescope...but Riku wouldn't buy me one. He said to wait until next time.
[Sora pouts for a moment, because Riku is so incredibly mean.]
I guess he's right, though. We'll have a lot of chances to do this sort of thing now, right?
no subject
Sora's pout brings out a small laugh from her, leaving a bright smile on her face.]
Yes, we do. I... I'm so glad you're here with me, Sora. [She doesn't mean that romantically, she promises!! He was just very important to her and it meant the world to her that he was giving her a special moment of his time.]
