KH - Fast Food Madness! V2

"Thanks." Namine kept her arms wrapped around her waist as she started toward the fridge, stopping in front of it. She let go of her waist with one hand and used it to open the door, noticing that Roxas had the water on one of the lower shelves. The blonde girl slowly lowered herself down, feeling a lot of pain as she did. She hid it to the best of her ability and reached for the water, taking a bottle in her hand.

 

Roxas grabbed two plates and set them on the counter. He then walked over a few steps to a drawer, opening it and grabbing a pizza cutter before shutting it again. Roxas walked back to the oven and put the round blade against the pizza, starting to cut it into slices.

 

Namine shut her eyes for a brief moment, sucking in a breath as she knelt in front of the fridge. She knew that Roxas would be concerned if he saw her like that, so she slowly stood herself upright again, holding onto her waist more tightly. She took a step back and pushed the door shut with the hand that she held the water in, thankful that she didn't clumsily drop it. The blonde girl slowly opened her eyes, looking down at the floor as the pain rang out even more than it had been a few moments ago.

 

Roxas continued to cut the pizza, oblivious to Namine's discomfort.

 

Namine slowly turned herself around, noticing that Roxas hadn't set the plates at the table yet. Were they going to eat out in the kitchen, or in the living room, where it was more comfortable?

 

Roxas finished cutting the pizza and reached over, grabbing a plate and placing pizza on it for Namine. He figured they could watch some TV while they ate...a dinner and a movie kind of thing. Plus it'd be more comfortable, especially for Namine since she wasn't feeling her best.

 

Namine stood in place and silently watched Roxas, her question going unanswered. She lowered her head slightly, her eyes shutting at the trobbing pain.

 

"Hey, I thought that we'd sit in the--" Roxas stopped after turning to face her a little, his eyes falling on her, her head lowered and eyes shut with her arm still around her stomach. His eyes softened when he saw Namine's expression, his concern deepening.

 

Namine perked up at the sound of a voice, her eyes opening and finding Roxas' concerned gaze on her. She wiped her expression free of pain to the best of her ability, keeping her eyes on Roxas. She knew that she couldn't fool him easily, but she would try, since she didn't want to worry him.

 

Roxas exhaled softly, keeping his eyes on her for a second. He had seen her expression before she had noticed him, and she looked pretty upset. But now she looked...okay, as far as he could tell by her expression. But he wasn't going to say anything, since he knew how the subject bothered both of them. "Uh...," he started again, "I thought that maybe we could sit in the living room and watch TV or something, if you want."

 

Namine nodded slightly, a small smile appearing on her lips. "That sounds good," Namine responded, keeping her eyes on Roxas. She was surprised that he hadn't pressed the subject, but she didn't mind that. Whether it was because she had fooled him into thinking she was alright or because he was gratiously letting the subject drop before it came up...she was okay with it.

 

Roxas nodded and then turned back around, working on getting his piece of pizza on his plate.

 

Namine exhaled softly, taking a few steps forward and moving to the counter to grab her plate. She just hoped that Roxas didn't notice anything strange, since she wasn't exactly moving like she normally would.

 

Roxas put his piece of pizza on his plate before seeing Namine out of the corner of his right eye. He held his plate in one hand as he reached to his left to grab two napkins.

 

Namine held the bottle of water in one hand, and she realized she would need both hands to carry the plate and bottle. Before she could hesitate, Namine let go of her stomach and reach for the plate in front of her, holding it in her left hand.

 

Roxas held the napkins in his hand and the plate in his other, turning his head to look at Namine.

 

Namine lifted the plate up in her hand, and then turned her head, feeling somebody's gaze on her.

 

Roxas offered her a small, reassuring smile. "Ready?" he asked.

 

Namine softly returned his smile, her eyes staying on him. "Yup," she answered, figuring that he would lead the way. It would be better for her, anyway. That way, Roxas wouldn't be able to watch her as easily. She didn't want him to worry if he noticed her acting weird.

 

"'Kay." Roxas turned around and started out of the kitchen, napkins and plate in hand.
