Fast Food Madness: The Epic Return

Namine was faintly aware of movement around her, something being taken out of her hand. But she was already too out of it to wake herself up and see what was going on. As a small reaction to it, though, she leaned her head on Roxas' nearby shoulder, which had come closer when the blond boy had moved to put her charm on her bracelet.

 

When Namine's head touched Roxas's shoulder, he glanced back at her slightly to see if she was awake. He discovered that she wasn't, but he smiled anyway. He finished attaching the charm and slowly leaned back. However, he slid his right hand into her left, twining their fingers as he reclined his head against the wall. He stared up at the doorway in front of him, but otherwise relaxed. It was time for peace.

 

Namine exhaled a soft breath, feeling a new warmth touching her left hand. It brought her out of her sleep slightly, but instead of waking up, she snuggled her head against Roxas' shoulder and allowed her own shoulders to slump, a deeper slumber taking over her once again.

 

A few days later...

Roxas had his hands tucked in his winter jacket, making his way down the path that led to Namine's house. It was Christmas Eve, and he wanted to spend the day with her. After all, they had spent every day together since he got back. He was okay with it, though. He loved being near her, and things were easier when she was around. He forgot about his problems, but whenever he went home, they haunted him, which kept him up late some nights. It was a reoccurring problem, but he knew there wasn't really anything he could do about it. Not right now.

 

Namine walked out of the Veterinarian clinic into the cold New York City, a cool gust of wind greeting her the moment that she stepped outside. Unlike the way here, though, she wasn't going to be walking alone. She looked down at the dog on her leash, a smile tugging at her lips as she looked at her faithful companion. Ty was with her now, having been fixed up by a few surgeries during the last week and a half. Her father had sent money to the vet while he was on vacation with her mother, so Namine was now able to bring her pet home just in time for Christmas. This is a perfect gift, she thought, smiling as she and Ty walked home. I have my two favorite boys home just in time for Christmas!

 

Roxas skipped up the steps and onto Namine's porch, ringing the doorbell. He waited a moment and rang it again, but there was still no response. It was then that he grabbed the spare key she always kept in the same spot--right above the door. He unlocked the door and stepped in. "Namine?" he called, but he was only greeted with silence. Roxas shut the door, simultaneously reaching for his phone, something he was reminded by Namine to carry along with him; he had forgotten about it over the past two months. He flipped the phone open and texted her: Ur not home? Where r u?

 

Namine felt her phone vibrate in her pocket, so she held Ty's leash in her left hand and used her injured right hand to pull it out of her jeans. She flipped it open without much of a problem, smiling weakly when she realized Roxas must have gone to her house. She and Ty rounded a corner to a less populated side of the sidewalk, the girl pausing their walk so that she could focus on texting. After some shuffling and a small amount of pain in her hand, Namine sent the text: Gone 2 get Ty. (: B bac soon.

 

Roxas flipped his phone open when he received the text, reading it before replying: (: Ok. I'll b waiting. Once the message was sent, he stuffed his phone in his jeans before slipping off his shoes and jacket. He then made his way to the living room to wait for the girl he loved and her loyal companion.

 

Namine received the second message when she and Ty were already walking again, so she just flipped it open, read the message, and then shut the phone again. There wasn't much need to respond to a message like that, anyway. She slipped her phone into her pocket again, looking down at Ty as they walked on the sidewalk. I can't believe it, she thought with a small smile. She hadn't been expecting to bring home Ty so soon after everything. And she certainly hadn't expected him to be able to walk the distance from the vet's office to her home. He was strong, but she had known that for a very long time.

 

Roxas sat down on the couch and naturally reached for the remote. He turned on the TV and started flipping through the channels. He watched TV for the first time in a while with Namine the other day, and it had been weird. Sometimes he found himself urging to summon his Keyblades and fight enemies, but there was no need and weren't any Heartless or Nobodies here. It was strange, but he had to learn to accept it. After all, he was forced to come back.

 

It only took Namine and Ty about ten more minutes to make it back to her home, the girl forcing Ty to take the walk slowly so that he didn't re-injure himself. He wasn't hyper like before; he was much calmer, and he seemed to walk with a sense of purpose. The blond girl smiled weakly, walking up the pathway to her house. That was probably because he had gotten hurt instead of letting his master get injured badly. He sure is prideful, she thought, looking down at the pooch as she opened the already-unlocked front door. But I love him for it.

 

Roxas's head turned toward the doorway to the entrance hall at the sound of the front door opening, but he remained in his position--his arms spread out on the back of the couch as he lounged, having been watching a re-run of a basketball game.
