Roxas heard quick footsteps and turned around, holding his breath. That was when he saw Ty trotting through the kitchen doorway and toward him at the stove. He sighed in relief. "Don't do that, boy," he said softly, shaking his head with a small smile at Ty before turning back to the noodles. They were finished, so he felt another sense of relief from that. Good, things were going according to plan so far. Kairi held her coat in her arms and watched Ty go. Her small smile faded, getting the feeling that the dog was going back to where Roxas probably was. Oh well, she had to get Namine to her room anyway.
8D That's probably the cutest dress I've ever seen.
Kairi looked down at the dog as she slipped off her wet shoes near the back door. "He never fails to greet anyone, does he?" she said softly, smiling down at the pup. Ty always found Namine, no matter where she was. Of course, she recognized that whenever she came over with Roxas sometimes that he ran straight to the boy. Apparently Roxas was Ty's second favorite, other than Namine herself.
Oh, yes. :3
Kairi climbed the steps carefully, her phone already in her pocket; she couldn't risk dropping it if she slipped. She carefully climbed the back steps and followed Namine inside, noting how quiet Roxas was being. Good, Namine wouldn't suspect anything. Hopefully. Roxas went back to stirring the spaghetti noodles, feeling slightly relieved when he checked the recipe card that their time in the pot was almost done. The sauce was almost done as well, so there wouldn't be much time left on the food. At least, he hoped not.
The whole occasion, I guess. xD Wanted to get Roxas's outfit right, because a sundress can look both casual or formal, in some cases.
Kairi heard her phone chime and read the text. She didn't reply, already aware that Roxas knew she would do her best. She shut her phone and stuck it in her back pocket before looking up at Namine, seeing that she managed to get the back door open.
Agreed. xD So is this thing semi-formal or what? x3
Roxas dodged Ty as he made his way to the counter to pick up his phone, a spoon in his hand. He read Kairi's text and knew he had to hurry; he was still cooking the meal. He then texted: Stall. 20 min. He was already dressed in a deep blue dress shirt and nice pants, so his attire for the occasion was set. He just had to finish the meal and light the candles in the dining room, and then get set up at the piano and he'd be ready. Hopefully Kairi could keep Namine in her room until then.
Lol. Oh well. xD
Kairi shut the gate behind her once she was through, following Namine further. As she walked through the backyard, she pulled out her phone and secretly texted Roxas; if Namine asked questions, she would just say she was texting Nathan...who had actually texted her not long ago. Once this was through, she would text him back, but she needed to focus on Roxas and Namine right now. She typed: In backyard. Almost ready? She then pressed Send and flipped her phone shut, continuing to follow Namine.
Hello hello. :3 Did you figure out what was wrong with your computer?
Kairi followed Namine's footsteps, trailing in the deep snow. She knew that it didn't matter if Roxas was ready yet, because she had to fix Namine up and convince her to put her dress on again. She was still curious as to how she was going to do that, but she had to come up with a way.
"Okay," Kairi said, tucking a few strands of her dark red hair behind her ear. Roxas, please be almost ready, she thought internally, turning her head to look to the side of the house, what they'd have to go around in order to get to the back door.
Alrighty. Gotta go. Be back later, hopefully!
Kairi bit her lip, putting on the act. "Hmm. Maybe you should try the back door," she suggested, knowing that was the only other way into the house anyway. Once they got inside, she'd go straight to Namine's room and carry on with what she had in mind, then take her to Roxas.
Okie dokie. But unfortunately I have to go for a little while. Being kicked off. I should be back later on tonight, though. =/
Kairi switched her gaze from the covered window to Namine, her eyebrows pulling together. "What's wrong?" she asked. She was glad she sounded convincing, because she knew exactly what had happened to the door.
Alrighty, that answered my question. xDD
Kairi stood behind Namine and shrugged, her hands linked behind her back again. "I'm sure he's fine," she assured her friend. Roxas was inside anyway; Ty was probably entertained watching the kid cook.
