Forever Love 82 Posted January 7, 2011 Kairi continued to giggle, nodding a little as she looked at Sora in agreement. But her eyes immediately went back to Riku and Roxas, who were wrestling in the sand. Roxas managed to pile sand on top of Riku's head a few inches high, and that was enough to trigger more laughter out of her. More laughter left Aqua as she gripped her stomach, which was aching now because of how humorous this was. Riku's expression was priceless, and so was his reaction, the older boy tackling Roxas once more. Those two were too much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 7, 2011 Namine laughed, not taking sides in this little wrestling match. Her best friend and her boyfriend...She'd let them sort this out on their own. It sure was amusing to watch, though she had to lift a hand to block some said that the boys kicked up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 7, 2011 Aqua barely noticed in her laughter that Terra wasn't reacting to what was going on, which was odd. One of the reasons she was laughing was because she could easily see him and Ven doing this same thing. She took in a much needed breath and glanced over at him, calming herself down.

Peanut 26 Posted January 7, 2011 Terra didn't notice Aqua's gaze on him, his eyes set on the sand. He noticed what was going on with Riku and Roxas, but he couldn't laugh right now. He felt...awful. It was so unusual for him to feel this sick. What was wrong with him? Maybe he was just tired; he hadn't gotten deep sleep for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 7, 2011 Aqua's small smile dimmed at Terra's expression, and she lifted a hand, setting it on his upper arm. "Terra...?" she said softly, sure her friends couldn't hear her since they were still laughing at what was happening with Riku and Roxas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 7, 2011 Terra silently lifted his gaze to meet Aqua's, able to tell by her voice that she was feeling concern. She must have noticed that he wasn't really interacting with the rest of the group. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 7, 2011 Aqua's eyes softened in concern at the look on Terra's face, noticing that he looked...ill. "You alright?" she asked quietly, her hand remaining where it was. What was wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 7, 2011 "...Yeah," Terra said, tearing his gaze away from Aqua's and lifting a hand to mess with his hair a little. "I'm just tired. I'm going to go back to the house to get some rest." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 7, 2011 Aqua hummed slightly, nodding in acceptance. She lowered her hand from his arm so he could get up, though she didn't believe that he was just tired. She had a feeling it was something else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 7, 2011 Terra grabbed his shirt, standing up and putting it on in silence.. He doubted anybody really noticed, since Riku and Roxas were still providing some entertainment. And besides, Terra was the furthest person away from the group anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 7, 2011 Aqua's eyes were stuck on Terra for the moment, not staring at his chest like she had the last few times she'd seen him shirtless. His well-being was on her mind now. He didn't look good... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 7, 2011 Terra bent down a little and grabbed his towel, waving faintly to Aqua and forcing a weak smile before he turned and started walking off the beach. He needed to get home and lay down, badly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 7, 2011 Aqua didn't smile back, not thinking she could force that expression right now. She watched Terra go in silence, hoping he was okay. She would go home soon and check on him, since she was getting tired anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 7, 2011 Sora didn't notice Terra go, focused on what was going on with his other friends. Riku and Roxas were really being goofballs today, and he knew that he was enjoying seeing it. Everyone was happy now, or so he thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 7, 2011 Aqua tore her eyes away from Terra once he was out of sight, looking at the rest of her friends. She heard their laughter and Roxas's whining, which made a weak smile appear on her face. But still, she wished Terra could be enjoying this too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 7, 2011 It only took Terra a few minutes to get home, though he was feeling much worse when he got there than he had on the beach. He simply dropped off the towel by the door and then wondered if he could make it up the stairs or if he had to lay down on the couch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 7, 2011 Aqua watched her friends have fun, still sitting on her towel. But she couldn't help but think of Terra. For the last two weeks, he'd never willingly left her side. And he walked away, just like that? There had to be something wrong... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 7, 2011 I'll make it up the stairs, Terra thought. I have to. He couldn't just pass out on the couch instead somebody came home and found him there. That would have been bad. No, he was stronger than this illness. He grunted and went for the stairs, gripping the railing tightly as he forced himself up. His ears were clogged; he could hear his heart beating inside his ears, and he just felt like he would lose consciousness any time. What was wrong with him?

Forever Love 82 Posted January 7, 2011 Kairi chased Riku, a watergun in her hands as she ran along the sand after him. The boys had left them sitting in the sand, completely full of water, and yet they neglected them? That was so unlike them. But because of how much fun she was having chasing down her best friends, she neglected to notice Aqua's somber expression from her place on the beach.

Peanut 26 Posted January 7, 2011 Namine chased Roxas with her water gun, though she also had a water balloon in her hand. She laughed and threw it at him before she switched the water gun into her good hand so she could actually use it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 7, 2011 Aqua rose to her feet and tied her beach towel around her waist, slipping her shoes on as well. She looked up and noticed Roxas crying out at the water balloon that hit him, as well as the water being shot out from the gun. She smiled slightly without thought. They wouldn't even notice she was gone, and she was actually okay with that. Aqua started the way Terra had gone in silence, her smile fading as she started for home.

Peanut 26 Posted January 7, 2011 Terra managed to make it up the stairs and to his bedroom, the man collapsing in his bed when he was there. He laid down on his stomach with his face in the pillow, eyes shut as he fought his dizziness. He was surprised he didn't pass out right away, feeling so awful now.

Forever Love 82 Posted January 7, 2011 Aqua left the beach and walked along the path, recognizing among her other thoughts that this was the first time she'd traveled alone. Terra had always been with her, wherever she went. And now, she actually felt a little lonely; she'd been so use to him being with her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 7, 2011 Terra turned his head so that he could breathe, focusing on keeping his breathing calm. He really wasn't used to feeling so terrible; he was never sick. Why would he get so sick all of a sudden? He didn't bother answering that, knowing it didn't matter how it happened. The point was that it happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 7, 2011 Aqua saw her home up ahead, approaching it in silence. It was a beautiful day, but it seemed that the circumstances weren't. She was worried about Terra. The day before, he was great, but today...something was off. It worried her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
