Fast Food Madness: The Epic Return V2

You can do it. Just stand up, Kairi told herself, surprised by how hesitant she was to get on her feet. It felt weird to really move her legs at all, and there was a weird feeling in her heart. She pressed her lips together regardless and lightly put her weight on her feet, stepping away from the bed. Kairi took a few more steps toward the door and thought she was alright. Maybe it wasn't as bad as she thought...

 

Sora grabbed his and Kairi's shoes after he had their coats over his arm, the brunet having a firm enough grip on the footwear that he didn't lose his grip on them. He then started towards his room again, reentering the living room and going towards the hallway.

 

Of course, Kairi thought wrong. She was lucky that by the time the dizziness set in again, she was already a few feet away from the door. Her feet stopped in their tracks just next to the open door, the girl putting her hand on the border to keep herself up. Not only was she dizzy, but she felt like her legs would give out on her. Kairi realized instantly that this was worse than she originally thought.

 

Sora walked through the hall and turned to look into his bedroom, the teen stopping dead in his tracks when he saw Kairi standing a few feet away from the door. "Kairi?" he asked without thought, concern appearing in his eyes. She really didn't look good.

 

Kairi continued to grip the door, trying to keep herself up as she lifted her other hand to her forehead. She heard Sora, but he was spinning for the moment. She glanced down at the floor, blinking hard to try and make it go away.

 

Sora dropped the shoes and the coats, taking two quick steps forward. He gently brought her hand off of her forehead and wrapped it around his shoulders, his other arm findings its way around her lower back. "Easy..." he said, seeing how dizzy she appeared. He kept his eyes on her, his concern growing by the second.

 

Kairi nodded slightly, closing her eyes as she leaned on Sora for support. She thought she disliked the Realm of Darkness before, but this was just ridiculous. Whatever it was doing to her, she just wanted it to stop. "It's worse than I thought," she said softly after a minute, her eyes staying closed.

 

Sora had figured as much, judging by how Kairi had managed to make it to the door and then stop. He kept an arm around her, his eyes staying on the girl he loved. "Sit down," he encouraged softly. He wouldn't bother helping her back to the bed; she could put on her shoes and coat here and then he would take her home.

 

Kairi nodded. "Okay," she said, turning her head a little to look at Sora. She would do what he suggested, simply because she didn't really want to think.

 

Sora kept his arm wrapped around Kairi's lower back as he lowered both of them down towards the ground, the brunet making sure that she was sitting before he withdrew his arm from behind her. He was concerned about her, and he was sure that it showed through his eyes.

 

Kairi set a hand down on the ground beside her now that she was sitting down, the other coming back from Sora's shoulders. She felt relieved to be sitting down, though she knew that wasn't a good thing in the long run. If it was bad to stand, how was she going to get home?

 

Sora stood up and took a few steps to the hallway, picking up Kairi's shoes and coat first. He set them by her side, his bright blue eyes wandering to hers. She definitely needed to get home; she was really weak from the Realm of Darkness. He hated to see Kairi struggling with this, but it couldn't have been changed.

 

Kairi's gaze wandered from her grey coat and sneakers up to Sora's face. When she saw the look in his eyes, she lowered her own. "Thanks," she said softly, reaching forward and grabbing one of her shoes. She appreciated that he cared, but she never liked to see that look in his eyes; it worried her because he was concerned for her.

 

"Yup," Sora said, noticing how Kairi diverted her gaze. He took a few steps away and bent down in the hallway, getting down on one knee as he put on his sneaker on the other foot, the teen thinking as he performed the action. He had originally planned on walking Kairi home, but obviously she couldn't walk too far. That left him with one other choice, which was carrying her.

 

Kairi brought her knee up, her foot closer to her as she focused on putting her shoe on. She tugged it over her foot before starting to tie it securely, not wanting it to fall off. She had a feeling she wouldn't be walking much, so what was the point in putting them on? But then Kairi remembered that it would be weird going outside without shoes, and her feet would probably get cold because of the chilly weather.

 

Sora finished with his second shoe after a few moments and grabbed his coat off the ground, the brunet rising to his feet and putting on his coat at the same time. His hand moved to the zipper and he pulled it up halfway before his eyes wandered to the girl on the floor.

 

By the time Sora put his coat on, Kairi was finishing up her other shoe. Once it was on securely as well, the girl turned her head to the side, looking down to see her coat next to her. She reached for it and then looked up to Sora when she had it in her grasp. Kairi gave him a shy look before holding her hand up to him, silently asking for his help.

 

Sora saw the shyness in Kairi's eyes, which made a reassuring smile appear on his lips. He took a step forward and bent down a little bit, taking a hold of Kairi's hand so that he could help her rise to her feet.

 

Kairi smiled slightly at Sora's expression, though her sight automatically fell to the floor when she started rising to her feet. She kept her grip on Sora's hand even when she was finally standing, knowing what was soon to come. The dizziness and the weakness.

 

Sora helped pull Kairi to her feet, the teen careful to keep an eye on her so she didn't get too dizzy and fall back down. He kept his gaze on her but gently withdrew his hand so that she could put on her coat; he wasn't going to risk her getting sick with a cold in the weather.
