Fast Food Madness: The Epic Return V2

Sora smiled softly, kneeling down next to Kairi's bed. "You've got me," he assured her quietly. He wasn't going to leave her until she was perfectly comfortable, or if she requested him to leave for any reason...Or if he had to go steal food from her fridge. He was hungry, but he could ignore that as long as he was with Kairi.

 

Kairi's smile grew a little, her heart fluttering at the words. She wished the bond between their hearts wasn't broken, or else she was sure Sora would have felt what she was feeling now: peace and love. But as long as she was feeling them, it was enough.

 

Sora sat on his knees, facing the bed as he took in Kairi's soft smile. Under these circumstances, the smile was worth even more to him than her normal one was; he knew she wasn't feeling well, so it was good to see that she was smiling despite that.

 

Kairi glanced down for a second, but that was only to monitor her movements as she turned on her side. She tucked a hand underneath her pillow and looked back up at the boy next to her bed, facing him now. Her weak smile dimmed a little, but it was still there. She gazed into Sora's blue eyes, wanting those to be the last things she saw if she fell asleep again.

 

Sora kept a faint smile on his lips, aware this time that both he and Kairi were staring at each other once again. He didn't feel awkward, though, so he didn't bother tearing his eyes away from hers. He never got tired of looking into her eyes; not after the four months he had been away.

 

Kairi felt her lips let the smile slip as the minutes went by, the girl continuing to gaze at the blue eyes she loved. They were as deep as the ocean, but as bright as the sun. They held so much love and care in them, and so much happiness as well. Sora's eyes altogether were amazing, just like the boy himself. Kairi loved Sora dearly, and was never going to let him go again.

 

...And then Sora felt the weight of Kairi's gaze. It was almost like she was staring into his soul, which he wasn't sure she would like to see right now when he had a few things were troubling him. A shy chuckle left his lips as he lowered his gaze to the ground, his hand coming up and running over the back of his head at the same time.

 

Kairi blinked at the sound, recognizing Sora's shyness which triggered her own, ultimately pushing her thoughts away. She smiled faintly and lowered her eyes to her hand resting near the pillow. She had been staring and Sora caught her in the act. She really needed to stop doing that...

 

Sora smiled shyly, his cheeks actually getting a little pink because of the emotion. Chill out, Sora, he told himself. If you're this easily embarrassed, then she'll realize that something is up. He lowered his hand from the back of his head, trying to get rid of his awkward feeling.

 

Kairi gazed back up at Sora, immediately noticing his pink cheeks. Did she really embarrass him that much? "...Sorry," she apologized softly, glancing down at her sheets before looking back up at him again.

 

"It's alright," Sora instantly said, lifting his gaze to Kairi at the apology. She had no reason to feel guilty; he had been staring at her as well. He had just been the first one to feel weird and break it off, which had left her feeling like she needed to apologize when she really didn't.

 

Kairi smiled weakly, meeting Sora's eyes again. But this time, she didn't look into them; instead, she gazed at them...if there was a difference. After a minute, she saw her vision swim and Sora's face blurred for a second. At the feeling, she closed her eyes, releasing a soft breath.

 

Sora felt more concern rise up inside him, but he tried not to let all of it show, knowing that it made Kairi feel awkward. He lifted a hand and pushed some of Kairi's hair away from her face as he spoke. "Get some rest," he encouraged softly. She obviously needed it.

 

Kairi nodded a little against the pillow, though she didn't move her head too much because of Sora's hand near her face. She kept her eyes closed, but she could sense that Sora was looking at her. Kairi wanted to ask him to stay, but she couldn't find her voice at that moment. Plus, Riku was back at Sora's house, and Sora probably had some things to do today other than stay with her. If he left, Kairi would understand.

 

Sora brought his hand back down after a few moments, his eyes wandering down to his hands on his knees. He wasn't sure how long it would take Kairi to fall asleep, but he would stay with her up until that point. Then he would raid her fridge and hope that once she woke up, she wouldn't put him to work for stealing her food.

 

Kairi could already feel herself losing consciousness, her thoughts beginning to fade because of it. For the moment though, she was still able to detect the weird feeling in her heart, no doubt because of the Realm of Darkness. She didn't think it did any permanent damage, even if it didn't make her feel right.

 

Once Sora got his lunch, he supposed that he would call Riku at his house and tell him that he planned on staying with Kairi until night came around. On top of that, he would offer Riku whatever food was in his fridge, though he would have a hard time speaking the words, since he loved his food. He exhaled softly, knowing that if Riku was truly staying in NYC, he would need to restock his fridge a lot more often.

 

But even if she didn't feel like herself, Kairi had Sora taking care of her. She didn't like worrying him so much, but she hoped that he saw that he was helping her. Immensely. "...Thank you," Kairi murmured, still sensing Sora's presence in front of her. That was all she could muster, her grip on reality slipping.

 

Sora looked up at the voice, his eyes landing on Kairi. "You're welcome," he whispered, setting one foot on the ground as he brought himself a little closer to Kairi. He gave her a light kiss on the forehead, his eyes shutting as he performed the action.

 

Kairi felt herself smile slightly at the gesture, Sora's warm voice and kiss the last thing she registered before unconsciousness greeted her. The redhead released a quiet breath, falling to sleep.
