Forever Starts Now (1x1 RP with Forever Love)

[Forever Love 82]

"Right," Ben agreed softly with a nod. He knew the conversation was over, so he returned his focus to the sketchpad in his hands. He flipped to the next page, trying to get his mind off his feelings for Namine.

[Peanut 26]

Namine tried to focus on the next picture, seeing that Ben had the same idea. This wasn't going to be easy, but at least now she knew she wasn't the only one feeling a spark between the two of them. She had a lot to think about concerning her future.

[Forever Love 82]

A few weeks later

 

Roxas watched Kairi give Namine a hug goodbye, his hands in his pockets. He hadn't been looking forward to this day, even if he said he supported it. And he did, but he still hated to see Namine go. The last few weeks had been pretty good, though he wished he could have seen Namine more. She had been with Ben a lot lately.

[Peanut 26]

Namine pulled back from her hug with Kairi, a sad smile on her lips. "See you in a few weeks," she said, knowing she'd miss her Somebody dearly. They lived together, so they were like sisters. If she had a chance, she would probably call her to check on how things were at home.

[Forever Love 82]

Kairi stepped back and hummed with a small nod. "Have a good time," she wished her best friend softly. She really hoped she had fun on this trip to camp; Namine had been so excited for it the last week or so.

[Peanut 26]

"I will," Namine promised Kairi, sensing Ben standing a few feet behind and waiting for her to finish the goodbyes. They were traveling buddies, so he was waiting around for her patiently. She just had one person left to say goodbye to, and that was Roxas.

[Forever Love 82]

Roxas let his eyes leave Namine briefly to look at Ben, who had his carry on bag slung over his shoulder. Namine was leaving with him, and the boy knew he shouldn't have felt a little nervous and jealous about it, but it was just his nature. Ben met his gaze with gray eyes, and they held eye contact for a few seconds before Ben looked away. Roxas took that as a good time to look back at his girlfriend, taking his hands out of his pockets. It was his turn.

[Peanut 26]

Namine looked to Roxas just as soon as he looked at her, and she sadly smiled at him. She was excited to go, but she would miss him. She stepped forward and wrapped her arms around him lightly, aware that Ben was still there.

[Forever Love 82]

Roxas embraced Namine lovingly, his hands going around her back. He leaned his head against hers and lightly squeezed her. "I'm gonna miss you..." he said softly to her. A lot.

 

Ben saw Roxas and Namine embrace one another, and he felt his eyes soften in sadness. He forced himself to look away as he stood a little bit away, giving her and her friends space. While they were away, he had to remember Roxas. If he didn't, then things could go wrong with Namine.

[Peanut 26]

"I'll miss you too," Namine said softly, leaning her head on his shoulder naturally. She loved him...so much. Her feelings for Ben couldn't change that.

[Forever Love 82]

Roxas ran his hand over Namine's back a few times, slowly, before stopping. He continued to hold her, but he knew she had to go soon. But before she left, there was something he had to do.

[Peanut 26]

Namine shut her eyes when Roxas ran his hand over her back, the feeling making her sad. She really would miss this, but..."I have to go," she said softly after a few moments. They couldn't afford to miss their plane.

[Forever Love 82]

Roxas released a small breath, loosening his hold. He knew that, but it didn't mean he wanted to let her go. He hated goodbyes anyway. He pulled his arms back but didn't completely let go. "Namine..."

[Peanut 26]

Namine pulled back a little, her eyes going up to Roxas at how he spoke her name. Gosh, she was going to miss him...Could she really go through with this, knowing that anything could happen between her and Ben? She didn't want to ruin her relationship with Roxas, ever.

[Forever Love 82]

Roxas lifted his hands to the side of Namine's head, cupping her face gently as his fingers found her hair. He looked into her eyes with his own, his expression one of sincerity. "I love you...so much," he told her, his voice soft.

[Peanut 26]

Namine smiled sadly, Ben again coming to mind. But no, she truly did love Roxas in return. And Ben knew that. "I love you too," she whispered, lightly leaning into the hand that was on the side of her face.

[Forever Love 82]

Roxas's lips spread into a faint smile, his eyes softening. He leaned his face down a little, closer to hers until their lips connected, giving her a final kiss before she left. What he didn't know was that Ben was staring with a longing look in his eyes, having a crush on Roxas's girlfriend.

[Peanut 26]

Namine lightly kissed Roxas back for a few moments, trying to focus solely on him. She loved him, but she hadn't been the same since she started falling for somebody else. She had to sort this out, but now wasn't a good time. Right now, it was time to say goodbye to Roxas and her other friends.

[Forever Love 82]

Roxas's lips moved with Namine's as he kissed her lovingly, trying to pour the last of his love into her while he could. She would be gone soon, and their communication would be limited. It made him sad, but he knew Namine wanted to do this for her art. It was her wish, so he was going to grant it.

[Peanut 26]

Namine pulled back after a few moments, opening her eyes and looking up at Roxas when there was a little bit of distance between them. "I really have to go," she said softly, sad. She couldn't dwell here any longer...

[Forever Love 82]

Roxas kept his hands on either side of Namine's face, opening his eyes to look at her. He smiled weakly and sadly, but nodded. "Show 'em what you've got," he said softly, offering his support and encouragement. She would knock their socks off with her talent. He leaned forward again and pecked her on the lips one last time before pulling back, letting his hands fall.

[Peanut 26]

Namine smiled faintly, nodding. She would do her best. She took a small step back away from Roxas so she could see the rest of her friends, who were gathered in this area. "See ya, guys," she said, waving faintly. She would miss them all.

[Forever Love 82]

Riku lifted his hand in a small wave, a light smile on his face. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Kairi and Aqua do the same. Namine would be alright, and she would be great. She was a great artist.

[Peanut 26]

Namine caught all of her friends pretty much doing the same action, and despite the situation, she found it humorous enough to lightly giggle at. But after a moment, the giggles faded and she smiled sadly to her friends one more time before turning around and starting over where Ben was, her carry on bag sitting on the ground next to him.

[Forever Love 82]

Ben saw Namine approaching and he bent down, picking up her carry on bag by its strap so he could hand it to her when she was close enough. He briefly glanced over all of her friends, seeing that some appeared a bit sad. He felt kind of bad, asking her to come along; she was practically leaving a big family.
