Chapter 1: Sick Day (Insert Date and Time : Wednesday, June 3rd 2015, 03 : 02 PM -- UTC + 7 Hrs)
It’s 6 AM in the morning. A girl with red short hair and a boy with silver hair came to a small house. They’re both wearing uniforms and carried their bag. They knocked at the door and a woman opened the door.
“Good morning, Riku, Kairi. Both of you come early this morning. Come inside the house and let’s have a breakfast together.”
It’s Sora’s mom. She greeted Kairi and Riku. As she’d greeted both of them and let them come inside the house, she continued preparing breakfast.
“Thank you, auntie. We have eaten our breakfast. Is Sora awake?” Riku asked.
“I have tried to wake him up, but he’s still in deep sleeping.” Sora’s Mom said.
“Ah, auntie, if you don’t mind, can we try to wake him up? Maybe he’ll wake up.” Kairi asked.
“Oh, sure, Kairi, Riku. You can go upstairs, you can find his room there.” the mom said as she pointed to the upstairs, “thank you for helping wake him up.”
“No problem, auntie. Besides, we plan to go to school together.” Kairi said as she and Riku walked to the upstairs and whispered at Riku’s ear, “I wonder what he’d just done last night so that he can’t wake up this morning?”
“No idea.” Riku said as he shrugged, “Anyway, it’s getting late. Let’s wake him up. Anyway, I have to come earlier since Sora and I have class duty.”
Kairi nodded. They stood in front of Sora’s room and knocked his room door.
“Sora, are you awake? C’mon lazy bum. It’s 6 AM, you and Riku have class duty today. You have to go to school earlier.” Kairi said as she knocked at Sora’s room.
“Um, Kairi, I think you can stop knocking, the door is unlocked.” Riku said as he opened the door.
As they entered the room, they found Sora had worn his uniform, with strange condition.
“Umm… Good morning, Kairi, Riku. Wait, I’ll be downstairs after I put my tie. I’m sorry for making both of you wait.” Sora said with a weak voice.
Something was not right. Sora was always cheerful and energetic. But today, he seemed out of energy and his face was pale. He seemed like sick people. Riku and Kairi were getting worried about him.
“Sora, your face is red and pale. Is there something wrong? You’re like sick guy.” Riku asked worried.
“If you feel sick, you can absent today. I’ll do your class duty.” Kairi asked.
“No, guys. I’m fine. I’m just sleepy. Everything is fine. I’ll go downstairs after I put my tie!” Sora said with smile in his face as he tried to put his tie.
Sora walked to his desk to take his bag after he put his tie, suddenly he felt dizzy. He walked like drunk man. As soon as he reach the desk and took the bag, he collapsed. Kairi and Riku approached him; and Riku grabbed his body.
“Sora, are you alright?” Kairi asked worried and grabbed his hand.
“No, Kairi, I’m fine. I’m just dizzy. Maybe I’m just too sleepy. Don’t worry, I’m fine. Let’s go to school anyway.” Sora said as he tried to stand up and fell again. Thankfully Riku grabbed him again.
“No, Sora. You ARE NOT fine. You’ve just collapsed. Not once, but Twice! It’s just not like you. Is there something?” Kairi asked again.
“Sora, your body is hot! You’re definitely not fine! You’ve got fever! You can’t go to school like this!” Riku said as he touched Sora’s forehead and asked, “Kairi, can you ask Sora’s mom for temperature and fever compress?”
Kairi nodded and went to downstairs. She met Sora’s parents at the dining room.
“Auntie, do you have temperature and fever compress? Sora is sick. It seems he can’t go to school today.” Kairi asked.
“Yes I have, let me take it for you, I will check his condition as well.” the mom said as she took temperature and fever compress at medicine cabinet.
Kairi and Sora’s mom went upstairs to check Sora’s condition. When they arrived at the room, Riku had lied Sora at his bed. As soon as they’d arrived, Sora’s mom checked her son’s body temperature. After 5 minutes passed, the temperature was beeping.
“It’s 38.5 Celcius Degree. You got fever, Sora! You should absent for today. Take a rest. Anyway, the finals are next week. You have to study hard after this. So, you had better recover first. You said that you wanted to get good scores again, right, sonny?” the mom said as she stood up and walked outside the room, “I’ll pick up some cold medicines and make you porridge, make sure you eat it and drink the medicines, okay?”
“Okay, mom. Thanks.” Sora replied as he nodded his head weak.
“Auntie, wait, let me help you to prepare the porridge.” Kairi said as she stood up as well to help Sora’s mom to make porridge.
“Sure, Kairi, thank you.” the mom said with smile in her face.
As soon as Kairi and Sora’s mom went downstairs to make porridge, Riku took T-Shirts and shorts from the cupboard and he changed Sora’s clothes. After he had changed the clothes, riku put the uniform hung at the cupboard and put fever compress at Sora’s forehead. He took a small chair near the desk.
“Umm, I’m sorry to bother you Riku. Thanks.” Sora said with a weak voice.
“Never mind, Did you do something last night?” Riku asked.
“Ah, last night I was practicing playing skateboard in the middle of the rain for skateboard club meeting at this Friday, after that I was helping my dad to repair the roof from leak until midnight.” Sora explained.
“No wonder you got fever. Anyway, your mom was right. You should rest. Let me and Kairi do your class duty. So, you don’t have to worry about that. Anyway, We have finals next week. You want to get good scores to make her happy, right? That’s why, you have to recover first” Riku suggested.
“Ah, that’s true, Riku. You know, she always worried me when I got bad scores back then, I don’t wanna make her worry. It seems I make her worry again with my sickness…” Sora said as his voice was getting weaker and tried to sit on his bed.
“Sora, you can lie at your bed. You’re still in weak condition.” Riku said as he prevented Sora to sit on his bed, “Oh, Kairi. Auntie.”
Kairi and Sora’s mom had been finished making the porridge. They put the porridge, cold medicines, and glass of mineral water on the desk.
“Thanks, mom.” Sora said.
“You’re welcome, sonny.” the mom replied as she walked out from the room.
“Well, auntie, I think we’ll go to school as well, It’s 6.45 AM.” Riku said as he stood up from the chair.
“Sure, Riku, Kairi. Thank you for helping me and Sora. Especially Kairi, thanks for helping me to make porridge. You’re good in cooking! Riku, Kairi. I hope you do the best at school.” the mom replied with smile in her face as she praised Kairi for her cooking skill.
“you’re welcome, auntie!” Riku and Kairi replied.
“Hey, Sora. Don’t forget to eat the porridge and take the medicines. Kairi has made it for you. I’m sure you don’t wanna waste it. She’ll be sad if you waste it.” Riku said as he teased him, “Anyway, after the school ends, I’ll come here again to check your condition. Get better soon, Sora.”
“I won’t!” Sora shouted as he’s blushing.
“Sora… get better soon, okay? Take a rest. I’ll come here as well after I’m done with school. Anyway, don’t forget to eat and drink your medicines. Don’t worry about home works, school works, and class duty. I’ll do the class duty. I’ll ask the teacher if I can bring your home works and school works to your home. Now, you have to take a rest and make sure you have recovered, okay? Finals are coming. I’m worried if you can’t study well.” Kairi said as she was blushing and touched Sora’s forehead.
Sora nodded as he was blushed his cheek as well.
Riku and Kairi left Sora in his room and went to school together.
Chapter 2: Unusual School Day (Insert Date and Time : Wednesday, June 3rd 2015, 05: 15 PM -- UTC + 7 Hrs)
As soon as Riku and Kairi left the room and went to school, Sora tried to get up from the bed and ate the food that had been prepared. As soon as he tried to stand up, he felt dizzy, but he kept trying to walk towards his desk. As he reached the desk, he sat on chair and ate the porridge slowly. He smiled every time he ate the porridge. He whispered to himself, “C’mon, Sora, just how many times you have made Kairi worry about you? Anyway, I have to finish eating this and take a rest.”
After Sora had eaten his porridge, he took the cold medicine and drank it. He sat on his desk for while after eat. Not long afterward, his mom entered his room with a glass of mineral water. She changed the empty glass with the new one and cleaned up the desk.
“Thank you mom!” Sora said.
“you’re welcome, sweetheart. Anyway, you have to rest after this, okay?” the mom replied as she walked out from the room.
“Okay, mom.” Sora replied as he stood up from the chair.
Suddenly, Sora felt sleepy, he thought it’s because the medicines effect, he went back to his bed and sleeping until he recovered.
Riku and Kairi reached the school at 7 AM, they started to do class duty before the class started at 8 AM.
“Riku, let’s go to Sora’s after we’ve done our school, I’m worried about his condition.” Kairi said with a weak voice.
“Sure Kairi, but I’m sorry, it seems you have to go first, I’ll be late, since I have meeting at student council.” Riku said as he put his right hand at his head, “Hey Kairi, you shouldn’t worry about Sora too much, I’m sure he’ll be fine.”
“No, Riku, I can’t. You saw that Sora was collapsed, right? It made me worried. You know, going school without him is different…” Kairi said as she let out a sigh.
Riku smiled at Kairi, he knew that Kairi liked Sora, he thought that it’s natural if she worried Sora much.
“You’re right Kairi. Say, do you…”
As Riku asked Kairi about Sora, Selphie came to the classroom.
“Good Morning, Kairi, Riku!”
“Good Morning, Selphie! You come early!” Kairi and Riku greeted.
“Well, to be honest, I didn’t come home last night, the rain was hard yesterday, I got call from my parents that our house and several neighbors house had flood. My parents suggested me to stay at my friend house. I didn’t expect that the rain would be bad yesterday!” Selphie said with grumpy face.
“That’s too bad. Well, last night I got black out as well, thankfully it’s only for 30 minutes.” Riku said as he crossed his arms.
“Anyway, Kairi, why do you do class duty? I think your class duty is tomorrow!” Selphie asked confused.
“To be honest, I’m exchanging it with Sora…” Kairi said as she placed the board eraser.
“Oh yes, that’s explaining why he doesn’t here today, where’s he?” Selphie asked.
“Well, He got high fever, we have just been there.” Riku said.
“That’s too bad. I just hope he gets better. Anyway, Kairi. Let me help you to do class duty. Besides, the class is quiet, right?” Selphie said as she took broom and swept the class floor.
Selphie was right. They saw the class clock, it’s 7.45 AM. The class was still quiet. Usually the class was crowded at that time. But today, only 15 of 30 people were at the room, including Riku, Kairi, and Selphie. Finally, they had done the class duty and cleaned up the utilities. They sat up at their desk and waited for the teacher came.
“Riku, what do you wanna ask earlier?” Kairi asked with confuse expression.
“Well.. you know…” Riku said with hesitation as he looked at Selphie.
“Don’t worry, I won’t spill the beans!” Selphie said as she smiled and crossed her arms above her head.
Riku continued his question to Kairi. “You know Kairi. I hope you say it honestly. You like Sora, don’t you?”
Kairi blushed immediately after hearing what Riku asked. Selphie saw her face burnt to red.
“Kairi, you don’t have to be shy! Riku and I know that you like him, even our close friends know it as well. It’s obvious. You worried about him. I remembered when Sora got remedial at math, you seemed worry if he couldn’t pass his remedial test. You skipped the club activity to help him study math, didn’t you?”
“I have to add what Selphie said, this morning, when Sora collapsed and his mom was about to make him a food, you helped her as well, didn’t you? I remembered that when I came to your house, Mayor said that you studied cooking things. I believed that the porridge was not created by Sora’s mom. But, you were the one who made it. Am I right?” Riku asked as she pointed his finger to Kairi.
Kairi sighed and tried to tell her friends the truth. It seemed she couldn’t hide her feelings any longer.
“Well, It seems I can’t longer hide it. Yes, I like him. I like him since we’re 14.”
“Why don’t you tell him that you like him? I mean, it’s been 3 years! Maybe, if you tell him the truth, he’ll like you as well, Kairi!” Selphie asked.
“Selphie, it’s hard for me to say it. We’re still child that day! You know, Sora traveled to any worlds to go look for Riku and The King!”
“Oh well, Kairi, maybe it’s the right time to say it for you. A year ago, when I and Sora decided to go to school with you and not to use any magic or keyblade things, he told me something about you…”
As Riku said it to Kairi, the teacher came to the classroom. The trio sat back at their desk and started the lesson. They saw that the class was still quiet. It’s only 17 people in the class. They didn’t mind it and continued to study. The first lesson was foreign language (Note: refer this foreign language to any language you want to choose, for me I think I’ll choose Korean =D ). After 40 minutes passed, the first period was over. As usual, the teacher gave the home works which had to be collected at before the foreign lesson exam. Kairi asked the teacher if she could keep Sora’s home work. The teacher agreed and gave it to Kairi. The next lesson was about to begin.
Selphie, who sat up in front of Kairi, asked Kairi about the class why the class seemed quiet than usual. Kairi shrugged. Kairi and Selphie kept talking while they were waiting for the teacher. Since the finals were coming next week, they also studied for the finals. They also saw that the other students were also studying to prepare the finals, for them it’s not the rare sight, since the finals were really important for their grades and if they could promote to the next grade.
After 15 minutes, the teacher had not come yet, Selphie decided to go to teacher’s room. Riku stood up from his chair and sat on Selphie’s chair.
“So, you do bring his homework. I think I can say no more if you like him.”
“Well, I have just promised him that I would bring his homework, you heard it, didn’t you?”
“Heard it, clearly. Well, it seems our class is really quiet, eh? If Sora were here, it would be crowded, he’s close to anyone here.”
“It is.”
Kairi put her face in sad state. She knew that she missed Sora much. Riku could guess it from her face. Not long afterward, Selphie came back from the teacher’s room.
“Well, I can say this is good news for us, today we’ll go home earlier, since lot of teacher are absent, I asked the principal that several teacher were unable to go to school since they had heavy rain at their houses, moreover they had flood at their house. Besides, the principal also received the calls from students that lot of students were sick! Flu and fever mostly.” Selphie explained as she let out her sigh.
“Well, that’s explain why the teacher didn’t come and lot of our friends have been absent from yesterday. I guess today is the worst.” Riku said as he stood up from the chair, “the teacher for the lesson and next lesson are absent, now the class is free, right? I’ll go to student council president class. I’ll ask him about the meeting today. Kairi, if you wanna go to Sora’s, you can go first, I’ll catch you up later.”
“Sure, Riku.” Kairi replied as she nodded her head.
“Hey, Kairi, how about we go to canteen? Since lot of our friends are skipping class for free~” Selphie asked as she took out her wallet from her bag.
“Sure, that’ll be great. To be honest, I was also sleepy at the first period, so, coffee will cast my sleep away.” Kairi replied as she took her wallet from her bag and rubbed her face from sleepiness.
Selphie and Kairi made their way to the canteen. On the way, they met Riku who had just met with the student council pres. Riku told Kairi that he would go to Sora’s after the meeting, so she had to go first. Kairi agreed and the trio made their way to canteen. The canteen seemed quiet, it’s natural since lot of students and teachers were absent. They could buy anything that they liked easier and spent the free time for 2 hours. At 11 AM, the principal announced that school had been ended and the students could go home. Kairi stood up and went to buy fish soup and chicken rice before she went to Sora’s.
“Those are his favorites, right?” Selphie asked as she noticed the foods that Kairi had bought.
“Sora likes that much. I think he’ll happy to eat that. Well, I think you should serve it fast to him. It’ll be nice if you can serve it warm. Anyway, I’ll go to student council room. See you later, Kairi, Selphie!” Riku stood up as he walked to the student council room.
“I think I’ll go home too. I need to help my parents to clean my house. See you later, Kairi! Tell Sora, get better soon!” Selphie said as she waved her hands to Kairi and said goodbye to her.
“Sure, Riku, Selphie! I’ll go as well. I’m still worried about him as well.” Kairi replied as she brought the packaged food for Sora. She headed back to class, picked up her bag, and made her way to Sora’s home.
Chapter 3: Kairi's Busy Day. (Insert Date and Time : Wednesday, June 3rd 2015, 05: 15 PM -- UTC + 7 Hrs) -- This chapter maybe contains heavy language. You have been warned.
Kairi left the school and she walked fast toward Sora’s house. She decided to pack her lunch instead ate it at school, so that she could eat it at Sora’s, while she took care of him. As soon as she arrived at Sora’s house, she knocked the door. But, no one answered. She knocked many times, but no one opened the door.
“Maybe they took Sora to ER or doctor… Well, maybe I’ll check there…” Kairi thought as she walked away from the door. Suddenly, woman neighbor approached her.
“You must be Kairi, right?” The woman asked Kairi.
“Yes, ma’am. How do you know my name? Anyway, where are Sora’s families? Did you know where they go?” Kairi asked confuse.
“I know you because you always go here. Sora’s mom told about you much. About Sora’s family, his dad went to buy several house appliances and his mom went to drug store to buy some cold medicines for Sora, she told me that she would be back fast. But it’s already 2 hours. She’s sure late.” The woman explained as she handed over the house key to Kairi, “anyway Kairi, she left me this, in case you came to the house, you can use this key to open the door.”
“Thank you, ma’am. I’ll go check him now.” Kairi thanked as she received the key and bowed to her.
Kairi used the key to open the house, she entered the house and put Sora’s food that she had packed with hers at dining table. She noticed there’s note on the table.
Kairi, Riku, if you have come to the house, I’m sorry If I and uncle went outside to buy house appliances and cold medicines, since we ran out of medicines, Don’t worry, we’ll be back as soon as possible.In case you need compress, there are 2 in medicine box, you can use them if they was needed. Thank you for taking good care of Sora. –Uncle & Auntie-
“Whew, maybe I’ll go check Sora upstairs.” Kairi let out her sigh as she put the note back on the table.
Kairi went upstairs and opened Sora’s room. As she entered the room, she saw Sora was sleeping and she checked his condition immediately.
“Sora, It’s me Kairi. Your mom and dad asked me to take care of you while they’re going outside. How’s your condition now?” Kairi asked as she approached Sora.
Sora didn’t reply Kairi’s said, he covered himself with blanket. But, Kairi noticed there’s something wrong with her.
“Sora, are you okay? If there’s something, you can tell me…” Kairi said as she opened the blanket, she noticed he’s covered with sweat and his clothes were wet, “Sora, are you okay? You’re shivering and sweating much! And gosh, your fever is still high. Your clothes are wet! Wait, …”
Kairi was panicked and confused, she didn’t know what to do. Riku hadn’t come yet, since he still had meeting at school. She had never changed clothes for boys before, if Riku had been there, he would have changed Sora’s clothes. But, since he didn’t here, she must did it alone, she couldn’t stand seeing Sora’s shivering. She took pajamas and underwear from the cupboard and she’s about to change his clothes.
“Kairi, you can do it. Just pretend it’s nothing and think that he’s your little brother.” Kairi let out her sigh.
Kairi wiped Sora’s sweat before she changed his clothes as Sora let our his groan, after that, she tried to sit Sora in his bed and took off his T-shirt and shorts, as she tried to take off his underwear, she closed her eyes and took it off fast. She put on the one that she had taken from the cupboard fast. She relieved and opened her eyes. She continued to put on the pajamas at him. After done, she lied Sora on his bed and covered him up with blanket. She also put the wet one at the basket outside the room.
“Kairi, pretend that was nothing. THAT WAS NOTHING. THINK THAT HE’S YOUR BROTHER. YEAH, HE IS YOUR BROTHER.” Kairi said as she blush at her face and slapped her face from embarrassment.
Kairi went back to the room and changed the fever compress with the new one. After everything had done well, she sat next to sleeping Sora and stroked his head. Sora tried to open his eyes with his weak condition and started to have little chat with Kairi.
“Um… Kairi… did… you…”
“There’s nothing to worry about Sora! I’m okay, you had better sleep now. You haven’t recovered. Don’t worry I’ll be here. If you need something I can help you.” Kairi replied as she grabbed his hand.
Sora closed his eyes again and slept fast. Somehow he felt that he felt comfortable with Kairi by his side. Kairi let out her sigh as she saw Sora back to his sleep. She kept stroking his head to make him comfortable while her hand kept grabbing his hand.
“Whoa, he sleeps fast.” Kairi sighed again and said to herself, “Like him, eh? Maybe you guys are right. I just can’t let him like this. But, how about his feelings?”
Kairi saw smiled face on Sora’s face, she relieved that he’s gonna be okay. She decided to take her lunch for a while downstairs and brought the lunch to his room, so that she could help Sora as soon as possible if Sora’d needed her help. Before she went downstairs, she kissed his forehead, which left with smile at Sora’s face.
“I’ll be back here for a sec, okay?” She whispered as she left the room.
It’s 1 PM already, the meeting had done, Riku stepped out from the student council room and said goodbye to all student council members. He made his way to Sora’s as he had been promised to Sora’s parents at the morning. As he left the school, one of Skateboard member, which was Sora’s friend approached him.
“you must be Riku, right?” the boy asked.
“Yes, is there something?” Riku asked back.
“Um. In case you met Sora today, please tell him that the meeting which held on this Friday is canceled, our leader had to go overseas, since there’s his family whose passed away.” The boy explained as he gave something to Riku, “And here’s his skateboard that I borrowed few days ago, if you don’t mind can you return it to him?”
“Oh, I see. I’m sorry to hear about the news. Sure. I can return it to him. Well, Sora is sick as well. I’m about to visit his house to check his condition, wanna come as well?” Riku said his condolences and received the skateboard as he also invited Sora’s friend to come along with him to Sora’s house.
“Oh, I’m sorry, I think I’ll pass. I would love to come, but, I have promised my parents to go home fast after the school is over.” The boy replied as she left the school running. “Thank you. Please tell Sora to get better soon.”
Riku gave him thumb up and made his way to Sora’s house.
Kairi had done eating her lunch, she kept looking for Sora, not leaving him anywhere. She stroked his head many times, to make him comfortable. Sometimes, she let out her yawning. But for Sora, she kept her eyes open and fought her sleepiness.
“He’s still in high fever. What do I do?” Kairi said as she watched Sora’s sleeping.
Not long afterward, Sora opened his eyes, he felt uncomfortable in his stomach. He started to stand up from his bed. He felt dizzy and he covered up his mouth. He’s about to vomit.
“Sora, what’s going on? No, no, don’t tell me that you’re about to vomit! Wait, I’ll help you. Let’s go to bathroom.” Kairi stood up as she helped Sora stood up and rushed to bathroom.
Kairi gave little massage at his back of his neck while Sora’s vomiting. After done, she brought back Sora to his bed, while she went downstairs to take a glass of mineral water. She gave it to Sora and he drank it till the glass was empty. After it’s done, she let Sora slept again, as she went downstairs to take mineral water jug and brought it to the room in case Sora needed to drink. Not long afterward, she heard knocking at the door. She opened the door, it’s Riku. She felt relived somehow.
“Kairi, how’s Sora?” Riku asked.
“He’s still in high fever and he’s just vomited.” Kairi sighed as she’s sad.
“I see. Let’s go upstairs. I’ll help you bring that jug.” Riku sighed as well as he helped Kairi to bring the water jug.
Riku and Kairi entered the room together, they saw Sora was still sleeping. But, Riku noticed there’s something different.
“Kairi, you don’t say that…” Riku said as he looked at Sora’s clothes.
“Yes, I changed his clothes. All of them. When I came home, Sora was shivering, he’s sweating a lot. His clothes were wet, so I changed his clothes.” Kairi said as she’s blushing once again.
Riku was speechless and he started to blush.
“ah, don’t worry, Riku! I closed my eyes when I changed the clothes. Although, um. It’s little embarrassing for me. It’s the first time I did this.” Kairi said.
“I see. You have guts, Kairi. Well, I should come earlier…” Riku said as he chuckled.
“Oh, it’s okay, Riku. You know. It’s sad seeing Sora like this. He slept like a prince, but he didn’t know that we’re worried about him.” Kairi said as she stroked Sora’s head again and wiped his sweat, “Say, Riku. What did you wanna say back then in school about Sora?”
“Well, Kairi, I think you should know now. I think you and him have to settle the things right. You know. Back then, Sora asked me to go to island for refreshing, he told me about you. But, he couldn’t say it directly to you. I still don’t know the reason why.” Riku started to explain, “But, I believed he said the truth. He said that he liked you as well, Kairi. The same as you said that you liked him.”
Kairi was shocked. She’s unable to talk single words.
“Are you okay, Kairi?” Riku asked.
Kairi nodded, and started to asked, “Did he… say that?”
“Yes. He liked you. He said that to me. He had been liking you since we’re 14. But, every time he met you, he had difficulty to tell it to you. Until one day he told me about it. He also didn’t mind if he didn’t become Keyblade Master or something else, as long as he saw you happy and were able to be your side, it’s more than enough.” Riku explained as he looked at Sora, “Maybe, your presence here, comforting him, taking good care or him in his sickness is more than enough for him. He’s happy. Can you see his happy face? Even though he’s sick now, he’s still happy.”
“He really wants to have normal life without any keyblade things, nobody things, heartless things just like we’re used to be. To be honest, he could cure himself using magic, but. He tried to forget about it.” Riku continued, “Um.. Kairi, are you okay?”
Kairi couldn’t say nothing except she let her tears fell from her eyes.
Chapter 4: Recovery (Insert Date and Time : Wednesday, June 3rd 2015, 10: 25 PM -- UTC + 7 Hrs)
Kairi ended up crying after listening what Riku had just said. She couldn’t believe that the boy she had been liking for 3 years also liked her, more than she could imagine. Back then, She and Sora thought it as funny things, but now it’s different. They really liked each other. But they didn’t know each feelings. Kairi kept looking for Sora, who was in deep sleep to recover himself, sometimes she stroked his head, wiped his sweat, and grabbed his hand.
“Riku, I’m just sad that I don’t realize it. I mean, he likes me and so do I, but, we haven’t said that each other…” Kairi said as she wiped her tears.
“Kairi, it’s not your fault, it’s not Sora’s fault as well. It’s just a matter of time. Maybe both of you haven’t got perfect time to say it.” Riku explained as he put both of his hands at Kairi’s shoulders, “I believe, there’s perfect time for both of you to say it. So don’t be sad.”
Kairi nodded and smiled. She looked at Sora once again and smiled happily with tears dripping from her face once again. She now knew the fact. The fact that Sora was love her. She grabbed his hand and said, “thank you, Sora. Please get better soon.”
“Anyway, I will re-heat Sora’s meal and prepare the medicines. I’ll be back, Riku.” Kairi stood up as she walked out from the room.
As Kairi walked out to the room, Sora was groaning. He felt sick. Riku and Kairi started to worry about him. Suddenly, Sora casted his keyblade with his left hand. Riku and Kairi shocked immediately.
“Sora, what are you doing with the keyblade?” Riku asked.
Sora didn’t answer a single word. He started to cast magic which made the room messed up.
“Sora, what’s wrong with you? Snap out of it!” Kairi approached him and grabbed his left hand. But, her attempt was failed, which made her was thrown hit the cupboard. Riku ran to her immediately, he was worried if Kairi had serious injury.
“Kairi, are you okay? You was hit very hard!” Riku asked as he helped Kairi to stand up.
“Urgh. I’m okay. Please stop him. It seems he will cast another magic.” Kairi said as she felt her back was in pain.
“Okay, I’ll try to stop it.” Riku replied as he nodded.
Riku used his keyblade to stop Sora’s magic, but it’s useless. Sora kept casting magic and made the room in chaos. Kairi stood up and also casted her keyblade to help Riku with her magic. But, their attempts were useless.
“Man, how do we stop him? The house will be destroyed if he keep doing this!” Riku sighed as he wiped his blood at his face.
“Riku, Kairi! I’ll try to stop him! Please hold Sora’s body!”
Riku and Kairi heard a voice that they had known before. It’s from Sora’s body.
“Roxas!” Riku and Kairi shouted.
“Well, don’t worry, his body is weak, I can possess him for a while and make him stop! Please hold his body.” Roxas shouted as he appeared in front of Kairi and Riku.
Riku and Kairi nodded, they did as Roxas told. They hold Sora’s body.
“Sora, calm down! Stop it!” Kairi begged.
Sora keep grunting and groaning, while Roxas tried to control Sora from inside his body. Once again, Kairi and Riku were thrown and hit the door. But they rose quickly and held Sora once again.
“Sora, if you can hear me, please stop! You’ll hurt your friends!” Roxas shouted inside Sora.
“Sora! I know you’re sick, but you have to stop!” Riku shouted as well as he got several kicks and punches at his face.
“Sora, stop!” Kairi shouted as she held Sora’s left hand.
Not long afterward, they finally stopped Sora. The keyblade was unequipped. Riku and Kairi let out their sighs. Roxas appeared once again in front of them.
“Roxas. Thanks. You’re big help!” Riku and Kairi said.
“No problem, guys!” Roxas replied as he started to disappeared.
Suddenly Kairi felt hurt at the her back, which made Riku started to worried. He checked Kairi’s back and found that her back serious injured.
“Kairi, you should go to ER! You got serious injury!” Riku suggested.
“No, Riku. I’m okay. Anyway, would you mind helping me to re-heat Sora’s meal and prepare his medicines first? After this we should clean up his room. I’ll be here and take care of him.” Kairi begged.
Riku nodded as he walked out from the room and left Kairi and Sora alone at the room. She wiped Sora’s sweat and covered him with blanket once again. She grabbed his right hand immediately.
“Sora, what’s wrong with you?” Kairi asked with a weak voice.
“Kairi, he’s hurt. Whenever he’s sick, sometimes he can’t control his power. But today is the worst.” Roxas said as he appeared in front of Kairi and looked for Sora.
“I start to worry if he does this again. What should I do?” Kairi asked as she shook her head and casted her keyblade, “Well, I’ll use Cure magic to him…”
As Kairi casted her magic, Roxas held her hand and shook his head, “Stop, Kairi.”
“Why?” Kairi confused as she unequipped her keyblade.
“To be honest, he wanted to be healed without any magic.” Roxas explained, “His heart said that. He wanted to have normal life without any magic. So please, stay by his side. I know you’re the girl he likes. You can make he feels better.”
Kairi stopped and nodded at Roxas. She kept grabbed Sora’s hand.
“Sora, please get better soon. Let’s play together again after this, okay?” Kairi said with a little smile at her face. But suddenly, she let out her groan as the pain at her back was getting worse.
Not long afterward, Riku came to the room with medicine box and meal. He placed the meal on the desk. Riku used pain reliever balm and applied it at Kairi’s back. Thanks to the balm, Kairi felt better than before, After Kairi had been healed, Kairi applied bandage at Riku’s head.
“Kairi, you don’t need to push yourself to cleaned up Sora’s room. Make sure you stay by his side. I’ll try to clean up.” Riku suggested.
Kairi nodded as she kept watching over Sora. After an hour, Riku had finished cleaning Sora’s room and fixed the broken cupboard. Riku looked at the clock at the desk. It’s 3 PM. Riku sat on the floor as he put his home works from his bag and started to work it. Riku was really diligent student. Sometimes, he looked Sora and Kairi. He’s waiting if Sora woke up and wanted to eat since Sora hadn’t eaten any foods. Kairi, who’s staying by Sora’s side fell asleep because of exhausting. She never let go her hands from Sora.
Not long afterward, Sora opened his eyes and let out his yawn. He started to sit on his bed, which made Riku stopped working his home works.
“Riku?” How long have you been here?” Sora asked.
“Sora. You’re awake. How’s your feeling?” Riku asked as he approached Sora.
“Well, I’m not dizzy anymore. It seems I’m no longer having fever. Can you pass me the temperature?” Sora asked as he stroked his head.
Riku passed the temperature to Sora. Thankfully Sora has recovered. Sora looked surroundings, he found that something strange with his rooms.
“Riku, what’s going on with my room?” Sora asked.
“Well, you see. You casted your keyblade and did some uncontrollable magic. Somehow me, Kairi, and Roxas managed to stop you. You almost destroyed your own room. Moreover, you’re success made Kairi injured.” Riku sighed.
“Kairi? Injured?” Man, What have I …” Sora shocked as he saw Kairi was sleeping right by his side, still grabbing his hand.
“That’s true. She tried to stop you, but your power threw her and made her injured at her back. I had applied pain reliever balm at her back, she felt better. Why don’t you see your right side? She’s been there to take care of you. She never left you until she fell asleep because of exhausting.” Riku said as he pointed to Kairi.
“Kairi, Riku. I’m sorry… Kairi, are you okay? Kairi…” Sora apologized as he tried to wake Kairi up, but Kairi was still sleeping.
“Well, I guess you had debt to her as well, Sora.” Riku said with grin at his face.
“Debt? What debt?” Sora confused.
“Check your clothes. And the food at the desk.” Riku said as he pointed at Sora and the food on the desk.
“Oh. It seems my clothes have been changed. Wait. Debt? Kairi? You don’t say…” Sora said as he shocked.
“Yes, true. She changed your clothes because you had been covered by sweat. She also bought your favorite meal at school. She did everything to you.” Riku explained. “Well, you should thank her. Besides, I was also surprised when she told me that she changed your clothes.”
Sora was blushing once again, he confused, remained speechless. He looked at Kairi who’s sleeping. He smiled at her and whispered 'thanks and sorry' at her ear.
“Hey, Sora. You have recovered. Eat something! It’s still warm.” Riku said as he stood up and brought the meal to Sora.
Chapter 5: Feelings (Insert Date and Time : Wednesday, June 3rd 2015, 10: 25 PM -- UTC + 7 Hrs)
Sora ate the food which bought by Kairi slowly. He seemed enjoy the food and didn’t want to finish it fast since they were his favorite. Sometimes he looked at Kairi who was sleeping at his bed side and he ended up blushing at her. After he finished it, he took the cold medicines that had been prepared.
“Riku, I don’t have any words to say except thank you to you and Kairi. I’m sorry as well if I bothered both of you.” Sora said as he let out his sigh.
“Well, It’s okay, besides you’re our best friend. We should care each other. Anyway, When Kairi wakes up, you should thank her as well. She’s… worried about you so much.” Riku said as he sat at the side of the bed.
“Definitely, Riku. You and Kairi deserves big thanks.” Sora said as he stroked Kairi’s red hair, Kairi, thank you. I’m sorry if I made you hurt.”
Sora leaned his head and kissed her at forehead. Riku watched it and smiled at both of them. He’s sure that Sora and Kairi would be good each other.
“Sora, have you told her your feelings?” Riku asked.
“I haven’t, Riku. I think it’s not easy task. But someday, I have. Besides, I don’t know her feelings toward me…” Sora said as he shook his head.
“I see. So you haven’t known her feelings at you.” Riku let out his sigh.
“What do you mean? Did she tell you something?” Sora asked as he noticed that Riku was hiding something in his mind.
“Well, she did. She told me and Selphie.” Riku replied as she crossed his arms.
“What did she say?” Please tell me.” Sora insisted.
“Nope. I don’t want to say it. You have to figure it by yourself.” Riku shook his head.
“Aww… Riku! C’mon. tell me. I insist it!” Sora insisted more and more.
“Hmm. I will say it, but. I will ask you first, how’s your feeling toward her?” Riku asked as he tapped his fingers.
“My feelings?” Sora confused and remained silent as he let out his sigh.
“Hmm… My feelings to her, huh? I think I have ever told you, right? I like her. More than anything. I just… want her always right beside me.” Sora said as he looked at Kairi, “I will be sad if she’s hurt because of me.”
“Well, strong reason to like her. You should treat her dinner or lunch after this, or maybe you can invite her to study together at your house. Do something that make her happy. You’ll understand her feelings.” Riku suggested.
“Well, that’s nice idea, Riku. I should do it, since the finals are coming. “Sora agreed and asked back, “Say, Riku, what did she say to you?”
“Okay, she said that she liked you as well. She had admitted in front of me and Selphie. She also didn’t want to make you worried, she tried her best to help you. Especially your grades and your condition today. She brought your homework and bought your favorite meal today. She’s cared for you. And as for reminder… She changed your clothes.” Riku explained as he grinned.
“Riku, don’t remind it about clothes again. It’s embarrassing!” Sora said as he started to blush.
“No need to shy, she closed her eyes when she changed your clothes.” Riku laughed as he heard the entrance door opened and stood up. “I guess your parents have been returned. Anyway, I have to go home early, I have promised to my parents to help their jobs this evening. Get better soon and take a rest, Sora. Oh yes, your friend from Skateboard Club asked me to return your skateboard. I had put them outside your room.”
“Oh, okay, Riku. Thanks for everything.” Sora replied.
“No problem, Lastly, enjoy the moment, you two.” Riku teased as he carried his bag and walked out the room.
“Riku!” Sora shouted as he started to blush.
“Hahaha! It seems you get better and better! Anyway, see you tomorrow, Sora!” Riku laughed as he left Sora and Kairi alone.
Sora let out his sigh and he looked at Kairi, who tried to open her eyes.
“Kairi?” Sora asked with a small voice.
“Um.. Sora, are you awake?” Kairi asked as she looked at her hand was still grabbing Sora’s right hand and she pull it off . “ Oh I’m sorry, I was sleeping! How’s your feeling, Sora?”
“Thankfully, I have recovered Kairi. Thanks to you. Thank you for everything. I’m sorry if I made you hurt earlier.” Sora said with a smile at his face.
“It’s no big deal, Sora. Thank Goodness that you’re fine!” Kairi said happily as she hugged Sora.
“Kairi? What’s going on?” Sora confused.
“It’s nothing, I was worried sick at you. I’m glad that you’re okay now.” Kairi said as she started to cry little bit.
After Kairi let go off her hug, Sora’s parents came to the room and checked their son condition. They relieved that their son had completely recovered. They bought him some breads and fruits and placed them at the desk. They asked Kairi if Kairi could join dinner with them and Sora. Kairi refused it since she had promised with the Mayor to make dinner for him. Sora’s parents said thank you to Kairi for taking care for him as they walked out from the room.
“Oh well, Sora. I also brought your homework. It’ll be collected the day after tomorrow. I think we should do it tomorrow. I’ll invite Riku and Selphie to do it here, how is it?” Kairi asked as she took out Sora’s homework and left it at the desk.
“Sure, It’ll be good idea.” Sora agreed.
“Oh, It’s 5 PM already. I think I have to go home. I have to prepare the dinner. See you tomorrow, Sora! Anyway, don’t forget to eat and take your medicine to recover your health 100%!” Kairi said as she walked out from Sora’s room.
“Sure, Kairi. I’ll take a rest after eat my dinner and take my medicine!” Sora said with a smile as he stood up from his bed and grabbed her hand, “And umm, Kairi, thanks for everything once again. I’m sorry if I bother you today.”
“It’s okay, Sora. As long as you’re feeling better it’s enough for me!” Kairi said as she turned back her body facing Sora and kissed his cheek, “anyway. See you tomorrow and get better soon. I’ll come here again tomorrow!”
“Sure!” Sora replied as he smiled blushingly and waved his hand.
Sora sat on his chair and starred at the home works that Kairi had brought. He smiled and blushed once touched it.
“Well, maybe, I have to tell her as soon as possible.” Sora whispered to himself.
As Sora stood up from his chair, his mom came to his room and asked if he could have dinner downstairs, he nodded and he joined the dinner with his parents.
Chapter 6: School Days (Insert Date and Time : Friday, June 5th 2015, 12: 25 PM -- UTC + 7 Hrs)
The dinner time had been over, Sora’s mom was cleaning the dining room, while Sora took his cold medicine to help him recovered more better. After he had taken his medicine, he decided to help his father to repair the roof.
“Sora, you’ve just recovered, I think you shouldn’t do this today, you can help me tomorrow. You had better rest, you will have finals next week, right?” The dad suggested.
“Your dad is right Sora, you have finals next week. You have promised us and your friends that you’ll get great scores in the finals, right?” The mom agreed and teased Sora, “Besides, you don’t want your girlfriend is sad because of your bad scores, right, sonny?”
“Mom! She’s not my girlfriend! I mean, she hasn’t become my girlfriend at all…” Sora said as he blushed her face.
“So, our children has matured now!” the dad laughed and praised his son, “Well, now, son. Take a good rest.”
“Alright. Night, Mom. Night, Dad.” Sora said to his parents as he went upstairs.
“Night sweet heart.”
After Sora had brushed his teeth and washed his face, he immediately went back to his bed. He stared at his room ceiling. He kept thinking what Riku said this evening about Kairi. It’s the fact that Kairi also loved him.
“How should I say to her?” He whispered to himself as he tried to cover himself with blanket.
As he tried to cover himself with blanket, he looked at his pajamas that had been changed by Kairi this afternoon when he’s sick. He blushed every time he remembered that incident. But, thanks to that incident he knew that Kairi cared about him.
“Kairi, thanks. I’m sorry if I made you do this.” He said as he smiled, “Well, I think I have to tell you my feelings fast, right, Kairi?”
Sora had covered himself with blanket and tried to sleep. But he’s unable to sleep since he had too much sleep this afternoon. He tried to close his eyes, but didn’t work. He looked around his room, he looked at his cupboard and few furnitures that had little damage because of what he had done this afternoon. Thankfully Riku barely cleaned and repaired them when he was weak.
“Hmmh. Tomorrow I will also apologize to Riku…” Sora said as he let out his sigh.
Suddenly, he looked at his bed side. He thought about Kairi who had been sleeping after taking good care of him. As he thought about it, he put his hand as he had done before and closed his eyes and though Kairi’s hands grabbed his hand.
“See you tomorrow, Kairi.” He whispered as he closed his eyes and slept.
Kairi had changed her night gown and ready to sleep. She prepared her books for tomorrow lessons and her school uniform before she went to sleep. After she prepared her school things, she lied herself at her bed and covered herself with blanket. As she tried to sleep, she thought about Sora.
“How is he? Is he okay now?” She whispered, “Well, maybe I’ll try to go his house earlier before I go to school. I had better ask Riku tomorrow morning.”
She stared at her desk where she used to be hung her well-made wayfinder that used to be borrowed to Sora. She suddenly thought about afternoon incident, where she changed Sora’s clothes.
“Well, I think I should wake up earlier tomorrow!” She whispered once again with a blush at her face, “Good Night, Sora.”
The sun had risen. Kairi woke up at 4.30 AM, she brushed her teeth, took a bath and worn her school uniform. Before she left her home, she prepared breakfast for the Mayor and for her as well which she ate on the way to Riku’s home.
On the way to Riku’s home, she met Riku. It seemed Riku was heading towards Sora’s home.
“Riku, Good Morning!” Kairi said as she waved her hand and approached Riku.
“Oh, morning, Kairi. Heading to Sora’s? Riku replied as he yawned.
“Yeah, you too, right? I couldn’t stop worrying about him. I just hope he can go to school today. Finals is nearby.” Kairi said as she ate her breakfast fast and walked together with Riku toward Sora’s home.
“Yeah. Um Kairi, I think before you talk, you should finish your eating first.” Riku nodded as he suggested to Kairi to finish her breakfast.
“Uhm. I’m sorry. I was little bit rush since this morning, so that I end up eating my breakfast on the way to Sora’s!” Kairi replied as she kept eating her breakfast.
“Well, can’t be helped as Sora’s girlfriend… You must be worried about him and you had less sleep, Kairi?” Riku chuckled as he pointed Kairi’s baggy eyes.
“Riku! It’s not like that! He's still not my boyfriend yet...” Kairi replied it blushingly as she wiped her mouth after breakfast, “Yeah, I couldn’t sleep last night. I was able to sleep at 1 AM…”
“Aw, c’mon. Should I arrange meeting for you and Sora, so both of you can talk?” Riku teased.
“Riku… It’s okay… cut it out, It’s embarrassing..” Kairi said as her face was getting red.
“Hahaha. I was kidding. Anyway, I believe you and Sora will be fine. Someday you’ll be able to tell him. So he will.” Riku said as he cherished Kairi.
Kairi replied it with smile. Not long afterward they arrived at Sora’s. They knocked at the house. Suddenly, the door was opened and Sora stood in front of them.
“Kairi, Riku! Good Morning!” Sora greeted them happily.
“Morning, Sora. So, you have recovered 100%.” Riku greeted back, “and you wake up earlier.”
“Yup, thanks a lot Riku for yesterday. And I’m sorry if I hurt you yesterday…” Sora said as he apologized to Riku after yesterday incident.
“It’s okay. I’m okay.” Riku replied.
Sora stared at Kairi who remained silent.
“Kairi? Are you okay?” Sora asked blushingly.
“Uh, no, no I’m okay. Morning Sora. Are you okay? How’s your sleep last night? Kairi replied as she blush her face.
“I’m okay, thanks. I slept well last night!” Sora replied, “Kairi, thanks again. I’m sorry…”
“Ah! It’s okay, I don’t mind that! Pretend that incident was nothing, okay?” Kairi replied blushingly.
“Incident?” Sora asked curiously.
“Ah..” Kairi replied as her face getting red than before, “nothing, forget it, okay? Anyway, let’s go to school. It’s already 7.30 AM!”
“Umm… Okay…” Sora nodded.
The trio were heading for school. After they reached the school, they started to begin the first lesson. Sora stared at Kairi every time and noticed that she was sleepy during the lesson. He wanted to asked Riku who was sitting in front of him, but he couldn’t since in the middle of the lesson.
The first lesson till fourth lesson had been over, now they could have a break.
“Man, the home works are a lot as the finals are nearby…” Sora complained.
“Well, I think it’s good as exercise for finals. Besides, you have to study hard, Sora. Your grades were bad at mid terms.” Riku said.
“That’s true… Besides, I have promised to Kairi that I would get good grades in the finals right?” Sora said as he lied down his head on the table, “Say Riku, do you notice that Kairi is quite sleepy today?”
“Kairi? Well, she was studying till midnight, that’s why she was sleepy.” Riku said lie to Sora.
“I see. Well, she’s sleeping now… I think I’ll buy her coffee. Wanna come along, Riku?” Sora said as he stood up.
“Oh no, I and Selphie need to study for finals. Anyway, please buy me and Selphie milks instead.” Riku replied as he stood up and walked to Selphie.
“Okay. I’ll be back.”
Sora went to canteen and bought 2 cups of Coffee and 2 cups of milks, he brought them back to the class and gave the milks to Selphie and Riku who were studying. He approached Kairi, who was sleeping as he tried to wake her up.
“Kairi?” Sora touched her arms and suddenly Kairi awoke.
“Um, Sora?” Kairi replied.
“You looked sleepy since the first period. Here’s coffee for you.” Sora said as he gave her a glass of coffee.
“thank you, Sora.” Kairi replied as she drank it a little.
Sora stared at Kairi while Kairi was drinking her coffee, every time Sora stared her, Kairi started to blush. Riku and Selphie noticed them and chuckled.
“So, what’s going on yesterday?” Selphie asked.
Riku started to tell Selphie what happened yesterday. Selphie was shocked and chuckled once again.
“Woah, Kairi was brave!” Selphie said.
“Indeed. I still can’t believe it.” Riku replied, “Anyway, I’ll back to my desk. The next period is about to begin.”
The next period was begun and all the students studied well as their preparation for finals. Until the last period was over, some of the student went to canteen to have lunch, some of them went home and did the homeworks. Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Selphie still remained at class.
“Hey, shall we eat for our lunch?” Riku asked.
“Sure, it’ll be good idea. I’m starving.” Kairi replied.
“I think I’ll pass guys, I have promised with several friends from other class to have lunch together.” Selphie said as he walked out from the class.
As Selphie walked out from the class, Sora, Riku, and Kairi were heading out to canteen and bought lunch boxes.
“Man… 8 subjects today, 4 subjects have home works. Man, I haven’t done yesterday home works.” Sora complained as he ate his lunch.
“Sora, you were sick yesterday, It’s okay if you couldn’t work for it yesterday.” Kairi replied, “Hey, Sora, do you bring the home works that I brought to you yesterday?”
“Uhm. Yes. Why?” Sora asked.
“How about we do it together today?” Kairi asked.
Sora was blushing when hearing about doing the home works together with Kairi today. He thought that it’ll be his chance to confess her.
“Sure, It’ll be great…” Sora replied blushingly.
“Great! We’ll do it at with Riku and Selphie today!”
Suddenly Sora felt his heart sinking. He felt that his chance to confess was failed.
“Sora, is that something?” Kairi asked as she noticed Sora remained silent.
“Um, nothing! You can come along, Riku?” Sora said as he asked Riku.
“Um yeah. I can.” Riku replied as he nodded.
“Great. How about we do it at Riku’s home this time?” Kairi asked.
“Sure, it’s good idea.” Sora agreed.
“Sure, my house is free today.” Riku also agreed.
As they had finished their lunch, Selphie came to the canteen and met them. Kairi told Selphie about today’s plan. Selphie agreed with it and they went to Riku’s home. On the way to Riku’s home, Riku noticed that Sora had been down since the lunch.
“Sora, I’m sorry if you miss your opportunity.” Riku said as he cheered him on.
“It’s okay, Riku. Maybe today is not the right time. Anyway, let’s concentrate to our study first.” Sora said as he forced his smile.
Riku realized that Sora couldn’t wait to confess his feelings to Kairi. Deep inside his mind, Riku thought the way to help his friend to tell his feelings to the one he loved.
Chapter 7: Bad Timing (Insert Date and Time : Monday, June 8th 2015, 06: 00 PM -- UTC + 7 Hrs)
Kairi and Selphie was walking forward than Sora and Riku on the way to Riku’s home. Kairi looked back as she noticed Riku was talking something to Sora. She didn’t have any idea what they’re talking about.
“Is there something?” Selphie asked as she noticed Kairi, “Him, again?”
“No, it’s okay. Um. Kinda. I wonder what they’re talking about…” Kairi replied.
“Well, maybe you should ask them later!” Selphie suggested and asked, “Anyway, Kairi, is it okay if I and Riku study with you? I mean, I don’t mean to be rude, maybe you should have quality time today with Sora. Me and Riku can do our home works later.”
“Ah, It’s okay, Selphie. I can discuss with him later. Moreover, the home works are more important. More people will be merrier, right? Kairi shook her head.
Selphie replied Kairi with smiled on her face. But she was sure that Kairi really needed time with Sora.
“Sora, hurry up!” Kairi turned her body back and waved for Sora.
“Oh, okay, I’m coming!” Sora replied as he ran toward Kairi.
Sora walked together with Kairi in front line, while Selphie and Riku was walking behind them.
“Riku, I really need to discuss something to you. It’s about Sora and Kairi.” Selphie said with tiny voice. She was aware in case Sora and Kairi would have listened their discussion.
“Me too, Selphie.” Riku replied, “Sora was down earlier, he thought that today he would have chance to talk with her, eye to eye.”
“So did Kairi. She’s just not honest to herself. I believe she did want to have quality time with Sora. I’d asked her if she wanted to be alone with Sora, She just shook her head. I really didn’t know why. Yesterday she really wanted to talk with him, right?”
“True, maybe she’s still thinking about yesterday incident, you know, clothes changing.”
“ah, maybe, you’re right, Riku. She’s still shy.”
“Sora was also shy when I told him about that, he really wanted to say his apologize about the incident and he wanted to tell her about his feelings.”
“I see. Sora is really impatient, isn’t he?”
“Well, that’s Sora for you. He can’t wait for love.”
“Maybe, we should do something to help them? Make both of them talk each other alone?”
“Well, it’s good idea. How about if we should make they meet when study for finals?”
“It’s good idea, Riku. And we..”
As Selphie wanted to finish her sentences, Kairi called them to walk faster. Riku and Selphie walked faster until they arrived at Riku’s home. As they entered Riku’s home, they greeted Riku’s mom and they walked into Riku’s room.
“Riku, I haven’t been here for a year, your room is always neat.” Kairi said as she looked around Riku’s room.
“Thanks! To be honest, my mom can’t stand if my room is a mess.” Riku replied.
“Hey, look at this, I find my comic book which I gave it to Riku!” Sora said as he picked up a comic at Riku’s desk and read the comic.
“Sora! We’re here to do home works! Not reading a comic book!” Kairi said as she reprimanded Sora.
“Ah, okay, I’m sorry.” Sora apologized as he put back the comic to the shelf.
Finally, Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Selphie did they home works. They decided to do 3 home works today. They are math, foreign language, and art.
“Damn, I’m really suck at math!” Sora said as he placed his head at top of his math book.
“Sora, you’re really suck at all the subjects, except foreign language and physics.” Riku, Selphie, and Kairi said together which made Sora was shy.
“Um… Kairi… Can you help me with this? I have tried to solve it, but it doesn’t seem right.” Sora asked Kairi to teach him desperately.
“Okay. First, you can use this formula, then input them to X and Y, you can calculate next like this. You’ll find the answer.” Kairi let out her sigh and taught Sora.
Sora tried what Kairi had taught to him. At first he found some difficulties, but Kairi helped him to solve it. At last, Sora could do it well.
“I did it. Thanks Kairi! You’re really good at math.” Sora praised her as he touched both of Kairi’s hands, which made Kairi started to blush.
“Kairi is honor student, Sora… She’s smart, of course.” Riku and Selphie said it deep inside their hearts.
“Never mind, let’s finish it!” Kairi said blushingly as she let go off her hands which made Sora confused.
Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Selphie did their home works seriously. Sometimes there were lot of discussions for the hard questions, there were lot of jokes so that they didn’t stress. Sora played jokes with Riku, and Riku joked Sora as well. So did Selphie. Selphie joked Kairi, but Kairi only joked a little since she was serious on her home works. After they had done with the math, the next one was the art. The group was split by 2. Riku with Sora, Kairi with Selphie. As they’re splitting the groups, Riku’s mom entered the room and served them with tea and cookies. They thanked to Riku’s mom for the tea and cookies.
“Oh, wait. We can change our group, right?” Selphie suggested, “How about if I with Riku? Sora, you can do with Kairi. I want to draw Riku, anyway. I haven’t drawn him before, right, Riku?”
“ah, yes. That’s true. I haven’t drawn Selphie as well. Kairi, Change the place with me.” Riku agreed as he stood up and changed his place with Kairi.
Sora and Kairi were remained silent. After Riku and Kairi changed the place, Sora and Kairi stared eye to eye. Both of them started to blush.
“Um.. Kairi, I’m sorry if my drawing is bad…” Sora said blushingly to her.
“What are you talking about? I don’t take that seriously. Let’s begin, okay?” Kairi replied him.
“SELPHIE!! What are you doing with my face!! It’s like Sora!!” Riku said to Selphie as he checked on Selphie’s drawing.
“Hey, I’ve tried my best! Let me see yours!” Selphie said as she took Riku’s drawing, “What is this?! It’s not me!! I’m not fat like this!!”
Riku and Selphie continued their argued each other, while Sora and Kairi kept drawing each other. But, Riku and Selphie argue distracted them.
“Anyway, what are you drawing Selphie?” Sora asked as he took Selphie’s drawing.
As Sora watched the drawing, he was laughing out loud with the drawing, it’s definitely similar to Sora’s.
“Selphie, you’re good at drawing!! Hahaha!! Man, I can’t stop laughing!” Sora said as he kept laughing out loud.
“Hey, Sora! Cut it out! How about yourself, huh?” Riku said as he took Sora’s drawing book.
Riku looked at Sora’s drawing, in the end Riku was also laughing out loud.
“Sora, Who are you drawing? Hahahaha!!”
“Let me see.” Selphie said as she took the drawing book and started to laugh, “Muahahaha!! I can’t stand looking for this picture, man, it’s too funny, Kairi, see this!!”
“Hey, give it back!” Sora said as he tried to take back his drawing book.
Selphie passed the drawing book to Kairi. Kairi looked at Sora’s drawing, It’s chibi Kairi. and Kairi ended up laughing out loud at Sora’s drawing.
“Sora, What are you doing? It’s too funny!!” Kairi said as she laughed so hard until she shed her tears, “anyway, Sora! Why don’t you draw well? You know we aren’t allowed to draw chibi!”
“Sorry, Kairi. I just can’t stand drawing it.” Sora replied as he received his drawing book back, “Kairi, may I see your drawing?”
“Um, I’ll show you later, Sora.” Kairi said as she refused to show her drawing to Sora, “Anyway, don’t move Sora! I can’t draw you well!”
“Okay, yes, ma’am!” Sora said as he tried to give good pose for Kairi, unfortunately, Sora hit a cup of tea by his elbow inadvertently. The tea fell from the table and splashed at Kairi’s uniform and her feet. Kairi let out her little scream because of the heat of the tea which made Riku and Selphie were shocked.
“Kairi, I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to… Uh. I’ll clean your feet.” Sora said his apologizes immediately as he tried to wipe Kairi’s wet feet with his handkerchief.
“Sora, concentrate! You’re just playing around!” Kairi said as she mad at Sora, “Man, I guess I’ll go home if you’re playing around like this!”
“Kairi, you don’t have to be rude at Sora… He didn’t mean to do that.” Selphie tried to make Kairi calm as she lent her short and T-shirt to Kairi,
“Here, Kairi, you can use my clothes first. Actually I bring it for the club activity, but it seems you need it right now.”
“Thanks. I’ll borrow it for a while.” Kairi said as she received the clothes.
“Oh, anyway, you can change your clothes at the bathroom there, Kairi.” Riku suggested as he pointed to his bathroom.
“Oh sure, Riku. Thanks. I’ll use your bathroom for a while.” Kairi thanked to Riku as she brought her bag to the bathroom and Selphie followed her.
“Kairi… listen. you know, You don’t have to be rude at Sora. He didn’t mean that. Anyway, here are the clothes. Please try it. I hope it fits you well.”
Selphie said to Kairi as she lent her clothes to Kairi, “Um, anyway, are you okay? You seem emotional today, besides, your face is pale. You’re not flu, are you?”
“No, I’m not flu. And anyway, it suits me well. Thanks.” Kairi thanked to Selphie as she looked at her reflection of her face at the mirror, “umm. You’re right, my face is kinda pale. I think I should go home now and rest. Maybe I’m just too tired today.”
Kairi had done changing her clothes. She cleaned up her books and stationery as she prepared herself to go home.
“Umm. Kairi will go home first. It seems she’s tired today. I think we should continue tomorrow. The deadline is next week right? We still have 3 days more. Besides, tomorrow will be holiday, I think we still have plenty of time to finish it tomorrow.” Selphie explained to the boys, “How about we do it here again tomorrow?”
“Sure, it’ll be good idea.” Riku nodded as he agreed with Selphie, “Kairi, Selphie was right. You should rest today. We can finish it tomorrow.”
“Um. Kairi, I’m sorry once again. Can I accompany you till you reach your home?” Sora suggested to Kairi.
“No, thanks, Sora. I can go home with Selphie. See you tomorrow.” Kairi said cold.
“Well, guys, see you tomorrow.” Selphie said goodbye to the boys as she and Kairi left the room.
“I wonder what’s going on with her…I mean, I didn’t mean to make her mad. Man, it’s my fault because I was playing around too much.” Sora said sad.
“I don’t know. Maybe she’s just too tired. Anyway, You have finished re-drawing, right?” Riku asked and he noticed Kairi’s drawing book was left at the room, “It seems she has done it as well. Wanna see?”
“Yes, I have done it.” Sora said as he looked at Kairi’s drawing and smiled, “Well, she always did a great job.”
“Indeed. You also have done it well, Sora. Although you’re drawing without see her face.” Riku praised as he looked at Sora’s good drawing.
Chapter 8: Plan (Insert Date and Time : Monday June 8th 2015, 06: 00 PM -- UTC + 7 Hrs)*There is medical content. Please see the last part of the chapter.*
Kairi reached at her home and Selphie left her as she went back to her home. Kairi thanked to Selphie who had accompanied her till her home and borrowed the clothes to her. As Kairi entered her room, she decided to take a bath before she went to sleep. Thankfully, today was Kairi’s free day. The Mayor had made dinner for her, which he had prepared at the table before he left. Kairi was relieved that today she could rest well.
Kairi headed to her bathroom and put off Selphie’s clothes and her undergarments. As she put off her undergarments, she let out her sigh as she saw blood spot at her undergarment.
“Hmh. Well, PMS right before the finals. It’s great.” Kairi whispered to herself as she put the clothes and her undergarments at the basket and started to take a bath.
After she took a bath, she put on her clothes and washed Selphie’s clothes, her uniform, and her undergarments. When she washed her uniform, a handkerchief fell from her skirt pocket. She realized it’s Sora’s handkerchief which she held it for a day.
“Kairi, he didn’t mean to do that…” Namine appeared as she looked Kairi was staring at the handkerchief, “And um… I know the PMS is making you uncomfortable. But at least, you can be nice at him, although he’s just playing around.”
“I know. The first day of PMS is really annoying me.” Kairi said as she held the pain of her PMS, “Uhh. Now I feel that I can’t speak to Sora because of today..”
“Kairi, no. you should talk with him. You like him, right? At least say something to him, something fun for example.” Namine Suggested.
“Uh, It’ll be hard, Namine… Besides, I really don’t like when study meets play.” Kairi said grumpily.
“Well, although he’s just playing around, it didn’t mean he did too much at you. He just wanted to make you relax, that’s all. Why don’t you try to be not too serious? Besides, it’s not too bad if you have fun for a while. It’ll relieve your stress.”
“But, Namine, I can’t…”
“Kairi, why don’t you try first? You don’t know if you don’t try.”
“I don’t know, Namine, well. Let me finish the laundry and I have to rest. I’m tired.” Kairi said old as she continued to wash the clothes.
Namine sighed, she’s quite disappointed with Kairi who was still in bad mood. Deep inside her heart, she knew that she’s suffering because of her PMS.
“Maybe, I’ll try to talk with Roxas…” Namine whispered to herself as he left Kairi alone at her room.
Sora reached at home and lied at his bed immediately. He put his hand on his forehead and let out his sigh.
“Bad timing, huh?” Roxas appeared as he asked Sora.
“What do you want?” Sora asked cold.
“To be honest, I feel pity at you. You’re close. Little bit more you would able to tell your feeling to her. Sadly, she chose study.” Roxas said as he crossed his arms.
“shut up, you know nothing, Roxas!” Sora said as he unbutton his school uniform.
“Or maybe, the reason why she chose study… It’s because the incident when you’re sick..”
“Oh, shut up! Shut up. I don’t want hear that.”
“Here it goes again, hot tempered Sora.”
“You want to pick a fight, huh, Roxas? If you want to, I can deal with you. Remember, I’m you and you are I.” Sora said as he stood up from his bed and equipped his keyblade.
“Whoa, slow down. I don’t have mean to fight with you. It’s useless, I think.” Roxas said as he declined Sora’s challenge. “To be honest, why don’t you listen to me first?”
“No need to listen anything from you.”
“Huh. C’mon Sora, listen to me first. You want to express your feeling to her, right? No need to be rush! The more you’re rush, the more she’ll keep a distance with you!” Roxas explained, “I’ll help you!”
Sora remained silent. He thought if Kairi would have kept a distance with him. Of course he didn’t want that happened.
“Help, huh? You can keep your offer for later. I don’t think I need your help now.” Sora said cold as he unequipped his Keyblade and lied at his bed,
“I’m tired talking. Let me sleep! Good Night!”
Roxas remained silent, he let out his sigh. He couldn’t believe that Sora would be angry like that.
“Well, maybe if Kairi have slept, I guess I’ll try to talk with Namine.” Roxas whispered as he left Sora alone at his room.
Namine walked out from Kairi’s home to meet Riku at Riku’s Home, on her way, she met Roxas who was walking to Riku’s home as well.
“Roxas? What are you doing here?” Namine asked.
“Namine? I’m going to Riku’s home. I have to discuss something with him about Sora. And you?” Roxas explained as he asked back to Namine.
“Me too, I’m about going to Riku’s home. Well. Kairi’s in her bad mood today. She’s got her PMS.” Namine explained.
“I see. That’s why she’s kinda emotional today. Sora was not good as well today. He’s sad and mad today.” Roxas explained, “We have to do something with them.”
“you’re right.” Namine agreed.
After they reached Riku’s home, they met Riku who was cleaning up his room before he went to sleep. Riku was quite shocked with their presence. Namine and Roxas explained what happened today with Sora and Kairi. Somehow Riku finally understood with the situation. Riku explained to them that he actually had plan to help Sora and Kairi. They discussed the plan until midnight. After they had done discussing, Namine and Roxas were disappeared and went back to each original bodies.
At the next afternoon, Selphie came to Riku’s home early before Sora and Kairi arrived, Riku explained the plan that Namine and Roxas had been planned. Selphie agreed to help them and today they decided to do the plan.
Sora arrived at Riku’s home, he met Riku who opened the door, as he walked in, Kairi arrived as well.
“Good afternoon, Kairi.” Sora greeted.
“Oh, afternoon, Sora.” Kairi greeted back as she walked in to Riku’s home together with Sora, “Where’s Selphie?”
“She’s going to school for a while, to take her club key.” Riku explained, “Well, I think we should wait for her at my room.”
“sure.” Kairi agreed.
Sora and Riku saw Kairi’s face. Her face was pale. They’re started to worry about her.
“Kairi, are you alright? You seem unhealthy today.” Riku asked.
“No, I’m fine.” Kairi shook her head as she walked to Riku’s room and noticed Riku was about to leave his home, “Um, Riku, where are you going?”
“Uh, yes, I have to go to stationery store, I ran out of pens and notebooks.” Riku explained as he left the home, “anyway, Sora, Kairi, would you mind taking care my home for a while? I’ll be back. Selphie should be here as soon as possible. You two can use my room first for doing home works.”
“So, both of you, take your time.” Riku whispered.
Sora and Kairi nodded as they started to blush. They wanted to complain at Riku, but Riku was running fast leaving his home. They left with no other choice, waiting for Riku and Selphie together at Riku’s.
Sora and Kairi sat face to face each other. Kairi didn’t say a single word to Sora, she was busy preparing her home works, while Sora was just staring at the table.
“Um Kairi…” Sora started to speak, “your feet, is it okay now?”
“Yeah.” Kairi replied as she checked at her feet, “I used a balm last night, now it feels better.”
“Glad to hear that.” Sora said as he relieved with Kairi’s condition, “Look, I’m sorry for yesterday. I didn’t mean to…”
“It’s okay, don’t remind me with that again.” Kairi said as she interrupted Sora.
“Okay. You are not mad at me again, are you?” Sora nodded as he asked Kairi.
“Nope. How’s your homework after I went home? Were you able to finish it?” Kairi asked.
“Yes, Although I didn’t see your face. I used my imagination to draw you. Why don’t you take a look?” Sora said as he gave his drawing book.
Kairi smiled as she saw Sora’s drawing. She never thought that Sora was also good at drawing.
“here, Kairi.” Sora said as he gave a pack of cookies to Kairi, “I baked it since this morning for you. I know that I’m still not good at cooking things, but I hope you like it.”
Kairi opened the pack of the cookies that Sora had gave to her, she tasted it, and she liked it.
“Well, although it’s burn for a little, it’s still good, thanks.” Kairi said as she kept eating the cookies.
“You’re welcome.” Sora replied as he blushed.
Suddenly the room remained silent. Kairi kept eating the cookies, until she left stain at her face which made Sora notice her face. Sora was blushing at her, which made Kairi realize that there’s something at her face. She used tissue at the table and wiped it fast.
“Kairi. There is something that I want to tell you.” Sora said as he swallowed his saliva.
“what?” Kairi asked curiously as she stared at blushing face Sora.
*PMS : acronym of Premenstrual syndrome refers to a varied collection of physical and emotional symptoms during part of a woman's menstrual cycle. (src : Wikipedia)
Chapter 9: Confession and Kiss (Insert Date and Time : Monday June 8th 2015, 06: 00 PM -- UTC + 7 Hrs)
Sora remained silent as made Kairi more curious at him. In her heart she was whispering what Sora wanted to talk, wanted to discuss, wanted to say to her.
“To be honest, I have to tell you sooner, but It seems I don’t have any courage to say it…” Sora said blushingly.
“what do you want to say? Home works?” Kairi asked.
“No, not that… Actually… I…” Sora said shyly.
“If it’s not homework, then What?” Kairi asked curiously.
Sora let out his sigh and started to say something at her, “Actually, I.. I like you, Kairi! I love you, Kairi!”
Kairi remained silent and shocked after hearing Sora’s confession to her. She couldn’t say anything except blushing and her heart beat fast.
“Since… when…?” Kairi asked shyly.
“to be honest, since… 3 years ago. When we’re 14.” Sora admitted, “Since we made pictures of each other at the secret place… I’d been liking you since then. I felt that I couldn’t go away without you.”
“don’t be joking again Sora…” Kairi said as she smiled a little.
“No, Kairi. I’m not joking this time. This time is serious. I do really like you. I do love you.” Sora admitted with serious face.
Kairi remained silent once again. She couldn’t say nothing and put her right hand at her chest. She could feel her heart beat fast.
“Sora, are you serious? I mean… give me time to think…” Kairi said as she moved back from the table.
Sora stood up as he walked and sat beside Kairi.
“Yes, Kairi. I’m serious with you. I can do this for you right now. I’ll prove it that I love you, seriously. No jokes.” Sora touched Kairi’s red cheek as he leant down his head and his lips almost touched Kairi’s lips.
“Sora, wait… Riku and Selphie are maybe heading back…” Kairi said as she tried to stop Sora. It’s too late. Sora gave a kiss to her as a prove that
Sora loved her. He proved Kairi that he’s no joking, his love for her was serious. Kairi let out her moan, as she opened her eyes wide. When she opened her eyes widely, she was surprised that Riku and Selphie stood in front of the opened room with shock face.
“Kairi...? Sora..?” Riku and Selphie asked together as they jaws almost dropped to the floor.
Kairi broke the kiss as she push Sora and made Sora fell. She couldn’t hide her blushing face, she stood up immediately, took her bag and left the room.
“I’m sorry, Riku! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I shouldn’t do this at your home! I’m sorry!” Kairi apologized quickly as she walked out from Riku’s home and covered her shy face.
“Kairi, wait!” Riku said as he tried to chase Kairi.
“Riku, I’ll follow her. You stay here with Sora.” Selphie said as she followed Kairi, “Kairi, wait!”
Sora remained silent and sat at the floor. Riku approached him as he asked his best friend.
“Sora, I’m sorry. It’s our fault to embark in. Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m okay.” Sora replied as he put his right hand at his lips after kissing.
“Once again, I’m sorry If we saw that. What’s going on? Did you confess her?” Riku asked as he touched Sora’s shoulder.
“Yes. I have confessed her. I told her my true feelings, Riku.” Sora explained.
“And then?” Riku asked.
“She didn’t reply it. She’s doubt with my confession. She asked me time to think about it. And…” Sora explained.
Riku couldn’t say nothing except he tried to cheer his friend.
“Anyway, should we do our home works? I really need to discuss about the homeworks.” Sora asked as he took his home works.
“Sora, are you sure it’s alright without Kairi?” Riku asked.
“It’s okay, let her think clear for a while. Besides, it’s my fault to kiss her at first place without thinking.” Sora said as he opened his homeworks and started to do his homeworks.
Selphie ran to Kairi as she caught up Kairi while Kairi was running away.
“Kairi, are you okay? I mean, Sora…” Selphie asked.
“It’s okay, Selphie. Anyway, can you leave me alone for a while? I need time to be alone right now. You can get back to Riku’s home. I’ll do my
homework by myself. So don’t worry about me.” Kairi suggested as she kept running away.
Selphie headed back to Riku’s home and explained what happened to Kairi. Riku and Roxas who appeared in front of Riku, Sora, and Selphie couldn’t say nothing except let out his sigh.
“Sora, listen. To be honest, I, Selphie, Namine, and Roxas thought about it last night. It’s our plan to make both of you talk each other. We want to help you, since both of you are liking each other. I, Selphie, Roxas, and Namine didn’t go anywhere when you and Kairi were in the room. We listened everything. I appreciated what you did to Kairi, but… we didn’t think that you would do that.” Riku explained.
“I see. Thank you guys for helping us, but it’s still my fault I kissed her. It’s just. I wanted to. I wanted kiss her and proved that I loved her. That’s all.” Sora said as his face turned to sad, “anyway, just give Kairi little time to think, I think she’s still surprised with what I did earlier.”
Riku and Selphie nodded as they started to do their homework and Roxas somehow helped Sora to do his homework.
Kairi reached her home and locked herself in her room. She lied her head at her desk as her face was still blushing because of that incident. Sometimes she touched her lips which reminded her with Sora’s kiss.
“Kairi, are you okay?” Namine appeared as she asked Kairi.
“I’m not okay, Namine..” Kairi replied.
“Why? Are you still doubting about Sora’s confession earlier?”
“No, I’m not doubting. I’m just surprised. I can’t say anything to him.”
“If you’re no doubt, why? You liked and loved him too, right?”
“Indeed, but… I still didn’t have courage to say to him.” Kairi explained as she tried to refresh her mind with doing her homework, “Namine? Can you give me little private time? I’ll do my homework first, about that, let’s talk later.”
“Sure, I’ll be waiting. You can do your homeworks first.” Namine agreed.
Somehow, Kairi could finish her homeworks, she could feel that her pain because of PMS stroked again. Thankfully she could hold the pain. She refreshed her mind by taking a shower for a while and ate her dinner which had been prepared. After that, she went back to her room and sat at her desk. She kept thinking about Sora’s confession earlier and about the kiss that they did. She looked at the wayfinder that she was made for Sora as good luck charm for his journey as She grabbed it tightly and let out her sigh.
“Namine… what should I do?” Kairi asked to Namine for suggestion.
“Kairi, as you could see earlier, He did love you. He proved it to you. Maybe you should tell your feelings to him.” Namine suggested.
“I know.. but It’s hard to say…”
“Kairi, you’re brave girl. I believe it. You can’t hold this any longer. You have to tell him.”
“Namine, I pushed him hard after we kissed. I’m scared if he hates me now.” Kairi said as she started to cry.
“No, Kairi. Don’t think that. I believe he doesn’t think that. Sora is good guy. I’m sure, right now he’s waiting for your reply.”
Kairi didn’t say nothing except crying.
“Kairi, don’t cry.”
“Namine, I’m just scared girl. Maybe I am not scared to heartless or nobody, but. I’m just scared if I can’t tell him my true feelings.”
Namine tried to cheer Kairi, as she tried to give Kairi suggestion how Kairi could say her feelings to Sora.
“I know. I hear that your finals are coming up. I think you should try to ask Sora to study together. Just the two of you. You don’t need to be scared. You have to try it.”
“Study together? Sounds great. Well, I guess, I’ll try to talk with him tomorrow.”
“Sure, I believe you can, Kairi!”
Kairi nodded as she believed that she could do something to tell her feelings to Sora, as her reply to Sora’s confession to her.
Chapter 10: Kairi's Answer (Insert Date and Time : Wednesday June 10th 2015, 11: 00 AM -- UTC + 7 Hrs)
Sora had done with working his homeworks, thanks to Riku and Selphie who helped him today. He went home and lied his on his bed after he entered his room and locked it. His mind was full of that incident. Incident when he kissed Kairi without thinking anything. He let off his T-Shirt and exposed his bare chest. He placed his right hand cover his mouth as he thought the moment when she went away from his sight after the kiss.
“Damn, why I did that without thinking…” Sora whispered to himself.
“Sora?” Roxas appeared and asked him concern.
“What?” Sora asked back.
“I know that I’m not in the position to say this but… it’s out of my expectation…” Roxas explained.
“Yeah, I know you would say that. I think it’s my stubbornness to kiss her, I just impatient to kiss her. Again, It’s my fault.”
“I can say nothing, Sora. Maybe you should rest today, Sora. You had hard times these days.” Roxas suggested.
“You’re right.” Sora agreed as he drove to sleep.
At the next morning, Sora woke up as usual, 6.30 AM. He took a bath and wore his school uniform. After he had done all of his preparation to school, he ate his breakfast. At 7.15 AM, Riku and Kairi arrived at his home as usual. But today, Sora didn’t talk anything to Kairi except good morning to Kairi and remained silent. The trio went to school together and had their school activity. When the break time came, Kairi invited her friends to the canteen to eat their lunch together.
“Sora, Riku, how about we eat at the canteen?” Kairi asked.
“Sounds cool. How about Selphie?” Riku asked.
“She brings her own lunch, so she eats her lunch here. She wants to eat her lunch and will remain her studying.” Kairi explained and turned ask to Sora, “Sora, you will eat with us, right?”
Sora remained silent, he shook his head refused Kairi’s invitation and headed to toilet.
“Sora?” Kairi asked, “what happened to him Riku?”
“I really don’t know. He just kept silent since this morning.” Riku raised his shoulders, “I think we can go first, before the canteen is crowded.”
Kairi nodded agree, Riku and Kairi went to canteen together and bought their lunch.
“Maybe he still thought about yesterday?” Kairi asked her deep inside her heart, “how should I say to him?”
“Kairi?” Riku asked as he starred at Kairi who’s in blank mode.
“Oh, there is nothing, Riku. Hey, let’s finish the lunch. We have to study again.” Kairi said.
“Are you thinking about Sora?” Riku asked.
“Yes, it’s my concern too. He’s not like usual. He’s keeping his mouth shut.” Kairi explained, “I wonder if he’s mad at me because I push him hard yesterday…”
“I can’t say anything, Kairi. Maybe we should ask him after school.” Riku suggested as he finished his lunch.
“You’re right, Riku.” Kairi nodded agree.
Riku and Kairi headed back to class, on the way to the class, they met Sora who had just return from the toilet. Sora didn’t say nothing, he threw his gaze from Kairi and sat at his desk which made Kairi was more worried at him.
After school, Sora went home alone, he left Riku, Kairi, and Selphie at class. Riku and Selphie started to worry as well about Sora. Riku, Selphie, and Kairi decided to go his home after the dinner, but in the end, they only met Sora’s mom. Sora’s mom told them that Sora had slept earlier, she also didn’t know the reason why Sora slept so early than usual.
At the next morning, 2 days before the finals, Sora kept silent to his friends, he just said words that necessary to say, not more, not less. Riku and Kairi were more worried about him, especially Kairi. She kept thinking if Sora had been mad at her. She definitely needed to talk with him personal. When the break time, Sora refused to have lunch with his friends, he chose to spend his break time at library and studied than had lunch, which he could have it once he went home. Kairi ran to him and tried to stop him.
“Sora, wait.” Kairi said as she grabbed his shirt from behind and placed her head at his back, “I don’t know what’s going on with you. But, I can’t see you like this. It’s not like you. I need to talk with you personal, in case we have some problems. Let’s settle this.”
“Okay. When and where?” Sora asked as he turned his head back.
“After school at my house. Just the two of us.” Kairi said.
“Sure.” Sora agreed as he left Kairi alone.
Kairi told Riku and Selphie what she said to Sora. Riku and Selphie agreed with what she would do, since they knew Sora was strange after the kiss incident. Riku and Selphie decided to leave the school without them.
After school, Sora and Kairi went to Kairi’s home together. As they reached Kairi’s home, they entered the room and sat side by side. Sora remained silent as Kairi started to ask him why he kept silent for 2 days at his friends, especially to Kairi.
“Sora? I don’t know where I should begin, but. If I really made you mad, please forgive me.” Kairi expressed her apologize as she started to explain something to Sora, “Look. About the confession and kiss you have done back then. I’ve been thinking of it.”
“Just. Forget about it. It’s my fault to begin with.” Sora started to speak.
“No, wait. Please listen.” Kairi said as she placed one of her hand at her chest, “I just want to say thank you for that words. Thank you that you’ve finally expressed your feelings toward me. Now I know what’s in your heart.”
“No problem.” Sora said.
“Listen. To be honest, I was happy that you said that. I was happy that I would be loved. And you know, what you had done… it’s not your fault.” Kairi explained as she shed tears.
“What do you mean? Hey Kairi..” Sora asked back as he stared Kairi.
“I mean. I didn’t mind at all if you kissed me back then… back then, I was just shy. I was not ready for that one. Even the worse one, I was unable to tell you my feelings. So, to be honest, it’s my fault, Sora.” Kairi explained.
“Hey, hey. I was the one who impatient that day…” Sora said as he picked up tissue at the table to wipe Kairi’s tears.
“No, I know now that you love me. I’m the worst one here. I push you away back then and ran away. In the end, you didn’t talk to me, Riku, and Selphie since yesterday. It’s my fault here. I’m the one who make you like this.”
“Kairi, hey. Listen. I also thought that silent was better way to forget about that. I pretended that incident was never happening. That’s why I kept silent. I just want to forget as well, I’m just worried if it will make you more hate me, that’s all.”
“No. Sora. I didn’t hate you because of that, I just hate myself when I doubted your confession to me, and you know, the moment when you keep quiet all the time, it’s hurting me.”
“Kairi… you don’t need to be rush about that, you can take easy on it… I can give you time to consider it…”
“No, Sora, I think there’s no time, I guess I have to say it. Right now. I don’t want make you wait again for a long time.” Kairi said as she got near to Sora, “Here’s my answer for you.”
Kairi placed her hands at Sora’s chest as she kissed him. Kairi showed to Sora that she also liked him, loved him, and she hurt if he looked away from her. She broke the kiss and started to confess to him.
“Sora, I liked you too. I loved you too. The same as you said back then. It’s not jokes, it’s serious. I can’t stay away from you and I’m happy that you said that you loved me back then. Thank you for loving me.”
“Kairi…” Sora said as he was blushing.
Sora hugged and kissed Kairi passionately which made Kairi shed her tears once again, He knew that Kairi loved him and so Kairi did. 3 years that they had spent to know each other finally reached the climax. They proved each other that they loved each other. As Sora and Kairi were kissing, Roxas and Namine appeared behind them, they stared at Sora and Kairi who were happy each other and they gave smiled at them.
As Sora and Kairi broke the kiss, they noticed Roxas and Namine appeared behind them.
“Roxas, Namine!” Kairi said.
“Congratulations, both of you! We’re happy with you.” Namine congratulated them.
“thanks, Namine” Kairi said, “Thanks for everything.”
“you’re welcome.” Namine replied smile.
“Congrats, Sora.” Roxas congratulated them as well.
“Roxas, thank you. I’m sorry if I didn’t listen to you back then.” Sora said and apologized to Roxas.
“Hey, no problem, man. Please be good each other, you two.” Roxas said as he disappeared and joined once again with Sora.
“Kairi, good luck for your relationship, wish you long lasting.” Namine said as she disappeared and joined once again with Kairi.
Sora and Kairi starred each other, smiles were drawn at their faces.
“From now on, we’ll always be together, right? After the finals, let’s have a date, okay?” Sora asked Kairi for date.
“It’ll be good idea. We can go anywhere we want to. I’ll help you during finals. Let’s study together. Remember your promise back then, okay?” Kairi agreed as she held Sora’s hand.
“Yes, of course. Let’s do our best together.” Sora replied as he kissed Kairi’s forehead.
Chapter 11: Study Time (Insert Date and Time : Wednesday June 10th 2015, 11: 00 AM -- UTC + 7 Hrs)
At the next day which was holiday, Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Selphie decided to study at Sora’s home. A day before, Sora had called all his friends to study at his home, since his mom wanted to make a cake that would be shared to his friends. Sora woke up earlier and he helped cleaning his home with his parents, after that he decided to pick up Kairi at her home after he had done cleaning.
“I’ll go pick up Kairi. I’ll be back.” Sora said as he left his home.
“Sure.” His parents replied.
Sora ran to Kairi’s home, when he reached her house, he knocked the door as the mayor opened the door for him. The mayor had already known that his step daughter had been dating with Sora, maybe Kairi told him yesterday after Sora went back home.
“Kairi, hurry up. Your boyfriend is waiting for you!” The mayor shouted to Kairi.
“I’m coming!” Kairi replied as she went down from upstairs hurriedly.
“Sir, we have to go now. Please take care yourself.” Sora said as he grabbed Kairi’s hand.
“Sure, Sora. Take care.” The mayor replied, “Sora, if your parents have time, someday I would love to visit your home. It’s been a while I haven’t met your parents.”
“Sure, you can visit us anytime you want, Sir!” Sora said as he said goodbye to the Mayor.
Sora and Kairi walked hand in hand to Sora’s home. On the way to his home, they met Riku and Selphie who were on the way to Sora’s home.
“Sora! Kairi!” Riku greeted as he saw Sora and Kairi walked hand in hand.
“Riku? Can you see what I see?” Selphie asked shock.
“Yes, they are.. walking… hand in hand…?” Riku replied as he shocked as well.
“Hey, I’ve just gone to Kairi’s home and picked up Kairi, shall we go now? My mom said that the cake will be ready!” Sora replied.
“Sora, are you…?” Riku asked.
“Oh… to be honest, I and Kairi had talked about our problem yesterday.” Sora replied.
“Yeah, It’s clear now. And now, I and Sora are dating now.” Kairi said as she grabbed Sora’s arm.
“Aww…. How sweet! Congratulations for both of you!” Selphie congratulated Sora and Kairi happily.
“that’s cool, both of you. Congratulations. I’m happy for both of you.” Riku congratulated Sora and Kairi as well.
“Thanks, Riku, Selphie.” Sora and Kairi replied together.
“Hey, I’ve got an idea! How about if we celebrate it once the finals done? Maybe we can eat together?” Selphie asked.
“That’s good idea, Selphie. It’s good for our stress reliever. How is it, Sora?” Kairi agreed as she asked back to Sora.
“Yeah, it’s good idea, besides, our finals in 2nd year will be harder than 1st year.” Sora agreed.
“Well guys, let’s study together. Let’s do our best.” Riku nodded as he asked his friends to study.
All his friends were nodded. They headed to Sora’s home. When they reached Sora’s home, they could smell something yummy. It’s the cake had been ready. Sora’s mom opened the door and greeted them.
“Oh, hello, all. Good Afternoon. Please come in and happy study. Hope you do the best at the finals.” Sora’s mom said, “and Kairi, I’m very happy that you are now dating Sora. I congratulate you, Kairi! Please tell the mayor that I’m happy about your relationship. Oh, sure, please tell him as well if someday we would love to visit the mayor. It’s been a while we haven’t met him.”
“Sure, auntie. I would love too. My father said that someday he would love visit you too.” Kairi replied as she bowed to Sora’s mom, “And thank you, Auntie. We will do the best at the finals.”
Sora’s mom smiled, she’s happy and proud that her son finally met right woman to have relationship with. Deep inside her heart, she hoped that their relationship would be long lasting forever.
Four friends went to upstairs and ready to study together, since tomorrow morning they would had final test. The first subjects were Physics and English. Physics was Riku’s specialty. Riku did his best to study and teach his friends about Physics, thankfully they could understand it very well.
“Riku, you’re really smart at Physics. You know, I’m really bad at it. I used to get remedial about Physics.” Sora said as he laid his head on the table.
“Well, Sora, you just need to study about it and have many exercises. I’m sure you can do it.” Riku cheered Sora.
“Riku is right, Sora. Remember your promise to me that you will not get remedial again in the finals and get good scores?” Kairi cheered Sora as well as she placed her hand on his head, “let’s study, I’ll help you.”
Sora felt relieved with his friend and girlfriend said. He managed to overcome his problem in Physics subjects. He studied hard and exercised many times, he got right in lot of questions which made Riku, Selphie, even Kairi proud at him. After they had done with Physics, they took a short break as Sora’s mom entered the room and served them with chocolate cake and herbal tea.
“Sora, your mom is really good at cooking! This cake is delicious.” Selphie said as she ate the cake.
“Selphie is right. It’s been a while I haven’t eaten auntie’s cake. She’s always the best.” Riku praised it as he ate the cake.
“Even the tea is good too. You really have talented mother, Sora!” Kairi said as she tried to give Sora a cake, “Here’s the cake.”
Sora ate the cake and he felt that the cake was delicious, “Thanks guys. Actually, my mom practiced it few months ago, since, you know. My mom has a plan to run cake shop business.”
“Woah, really? That’s cool! I think I’ll eat the cake here everyday!” Selphie said as she ate it happily.
“Sure, you can!” Sora nodded.
“And um… while we’re in break, may I ask something to you, Sora, Kairi?” Riku asked, “I’m happy that you’re dating Sora, what did you do yesterday to him? How was the problem cleared?”
Sora and Kairi starred each other as they started to blush. Kairi told Riku and Selphie what she did to Sora yesterday which made Riku and Selphie were proud at her.
“It’s romantic, Kairi!” Selphie said as she proud to her friend.
“Indeed. You both make me jealous.” Riku said as he crossed his arms.
“Aww, Riku! Someday you’ll find a perfect girl for you! I’m sure of it! I can help you to look for some if you want to. You help me so much!” Sora said.
“Thanks! I would love too someday! And yeah, sure, in case you find good girl, I would love to you introduce to me, Sora.” Riku replied as he highed five with Sora.
“Speaking of the relationship. Sora, Kairi. Riku and I think that sometimes you should have quality time for both of you. You know. I don’t mean that we four can’t study together, but. Sometimes both of you need to be alone, talk together, so that both of you can know each other better and better.” Selphie suggested, “I don’t mind if Riku and I study by ourself, so don’t worry about it.”
“Selphie has right words, Sora, Kairi. You both are love birds now. Maybe both of you need times to be alone, talk together so that you can know each other better. Don’t worry about us. Sometimes we can study together again like this, more important are both of you.” Riku added.
“Thanks guys.” Sora replied.
“anyway, I have a suggestion. How about like this. Tomorrow, Sora and Kairi should study together, and the day after tomorrow we can gather like this again. We’ll do this until the finals over. How is it?” Selphie asked.
“I agree with it.” Riku nodded.
Sora and Kairi agreed as well. After they had done eating, they continued to study English. They kept studying until night. As the clock was 9.30 PM, they decided to finish the study and went back home. Riku and Selphie went home first and Kairi was the last. Sora decided to accompany Kairi to her home.
“Sora, thank you. Let’s meet again tomorrow.” Kairi said as she kissed Sora at his lips.
“Sure, Kairi. Good night. Have a nice rest.” Sora said as he went back to his home.
After he reached at home, Sora continued his study again, although he’s already tired. Roxas appeared and try to speak at Sora.
“Sora, I know you want to get good score, please rest. You have done enough for today.”
“No, Roxas, I have promised to Kairi that I will not let her down. I must study harder.”
Roxas was shocked with Sora’s statement. He was usually lazy at study, but now, after Kairi had been his girlfriend, Sora had been motivated to do something best for her. Deep inside his heart, Roxas was proud at Sora. He’s just not only good at wielding Keyblade, but also good at keeping his promise.
Chapter 12: Just The Two of Us (Insert Date and Time : Wednesday June 10th 2015, 11: 00 AM -- UTC + 7 Hrs)*This chapter is quite long and has inappropriate language, you have been warned.*
The finals day had come, Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Selphie had studied as best as they can to get good scores. They underwent the finals seriously, although sometimes Kairi was worried about Sora, especially his grades. Kairi couldn’t stop thinking about Sora during her finals, he kept looking for Sora who was sometimes feeling sleepy during finals. She did her best to make sure Sora studied well, even though she had to sacrifice her health just for Sora. They kept doing their study group as they had planned. As they entered the day before last finals, they could feel the burden of finals were slowly disappeared.
“Finally, tomorrow is the last day! Let’s do our best.” Riku said as he stretched his arms.
“Yeah, after this we will celebrate it!” Selphie said happily, “Sora, are you okay?”
Sora showed his tired and hopeless face. He couldn’t believe that tomorrow that he would be battle against his least subject, Math.
“Kairi seems unhealthy too. Kairi, are you okay?” Selphie asked concern.
“Yeah, I’m okay. Math will be the last. Let’s do our best, right, Sora?” Kairi said as she tried to cheer Sora by stroking his hands.
“Kairi… you know, The finals are hard. I doubt I can get good score this time… Although I have studied till midnight.” Sora said hopeless.
“Well, indeed, Kairi. Sora had studied till midnight everyday. But still. He sometimes felt sleepy and in the end he fell asleep at his desk.” Roxas said as he appeared in front of them, “Kairi, are you okay? You seem sleepy just like him.”
“Yeah, I’m ookay…” Kairi said as she yawned.
“No, Kairi, you were studying until midnight too last night! I was watching you.” Namine said as she appeared as well.
“So, both of you were really study like that. No wonder.” Riku said.
“Anyway, let’s go for studying math at Sora’s home. Let’s cheer up guys.” Kairi said as she tried to overcome her burden of sleeping.
“Umm.. to be honest, Kairi, Sora. I think Selphie and I will be late for our study group today. Selphie needs to go to her literature club since they’re about doing hiring ceremony for new head club and new members of her club. I also need to finish my business with student council. I’m currently being asked by student council to do interview for new students who want to join student council.” Riku explained, “don’t worry we’ll catch you up soon.”
“Sure, Riku. It’s 3 PM already. I heard the ceremony and the interview will be started at 4 PM.” Selphie said as she looked at the clock, “We go first, Kairi. See you later.”
Kairi waved to Selphie and Riku who were in rush. Now, Kairi and Sora were left at the class room.
“Sora, let’s go. Don’t be hopeless at math. I’ll help you for it. Let’s do this.” Kairi said as she cheered Sora.
“Sure. Let’s go. Thanks Kairi. I need your help for math.” Sora said as he stood up and grabbed Kairi’s hand.
When they walked out from school hand in hand, all of their friends were watching at them, some of them were whispering something at their friends, which made Kairi little bit annoyed.
“Sora, our friends are watching at us…” Kairi said annoyed.
“Well, to be honest, all of School students have known that we’re dating. But hey, don’t be sad. They are lot of student who are dating here!” Sora said as he grabbed Kairi’s shoulder.
“Yeah, you’re right.” Kairi nodded.
Sora and Kairi continued their way to Sora’s home. On the way to Sora’s home, they noticed several kids were playing cold water. They realized that winter was nearby, snow would be fallen. Suddenly a kid threw a bucket of cold water into wrong direction and hit Kairi. Sora was shocked at covered her immediately with his jacket.
“I’m so sorry, miss! I’m sorry! I don’t mean to…” The boy apologized immediately.
“It’s okay. Better be careful next time, okay?” Kairi said as she apologized him.
“thank you miss, you really have pure hearts!” the boy said happily as he continued playing with the other boys.
“Pure hearts, huh?” Kairi said at herself.
“Of course, you’re princess of hearts. I’m sure your heart is pure like princess, Kairi. That boy is right.” Sora explained to her, “C’mon, let’s go to your home first and take several clothes.”
“No, Sora. I’m fine. I think I’ll borrow yours. Besides, the mayor was not home until tomorrow. He said to me this morning that I had to stay at friend’s home for a while.” Kairi said as she shook her head.
“Are you sure it’s okay?” Sora asked concern.
Kairi nodded, they walked fast to Sora’s home. Sora kept covering Kairi with his Jacket and made sure that Kairi wasn’t freezing until they reached at his home.
When they reached Sora’s home, Sora found his home was empty and he read a note which left by their parents:
“Sora, mom and dad were going to dad’s friend daughter wedding party, We will go home late. I have prepared some foods at the table, if you want to reheat it, you can reheat at the microwave. There are also frozen foods that you can cook, you can cook them if you want to. – Mom and Dad.”
Sora let out his sigh after he read the note. Kairi started to feel freezing.
“Kairi, let’s go to my room.” Sora guided her to his room.
As they entered Sora’s room, Sora took a towel from his cupboard and wiped Kairi’s face and her body from wet.
“Sora?” Kairi asked.
“Yeah? What is it?” Sora responded.
“I know that it’ll be embarrassing, but can I borrow your clothes for a while?” Kairi asked with a blush at her face.
“no need to shy, of course you can! Anyway, let’s change your uniform first. You can pick anything at that cupboard.” Sora said as he offered his clothes at his cupboard.
“thanks.” Kairi replied smile.
Kairi chose suitable clothes at Sora’s cupboard, suddenly she saw pajamas and underwear that she once put on to Sora while he was sick a week ago. She shook her head and she kept searching for suitable clothes for her, until she found his sleeves and shorts. She decided to use them for a while. She changed her clothes at his bathroom. After she had done changing, she went back to Sora’s room.
“Kairi, let me wash your uniform and dry your uniforms. You will use it again tomorrow, right?” Sora offered Kairi to wash her uniform.
“Ah, are you sure it’s fine?” Kairi asked blushingly.
“Sure. Just think it’s like your home!” Sora replied happily.
Kairi responded it with smile. She waited for Sora who was downstairs cleaning her uniform. After the uniform had been cleaned, he decided to dry them with her stockings, so that tomorrow she could use the uniform for the last finals. Sora went back to his room exhausted and he decided to change his clothes before he studied. When he put off his school uniform, Kairi was shocked seeing Sora’s bare chest.
“Oh!” Kairi shocked as she blushed.
“Oh, I’m sorry, Kairi! I will change at bathroom!” Sora said blushingly as he took short from his cupboard.
“It’s okay. You can change it here. I won’t see.” Kairi shook her head as she turned her body to back.
Sora changed his clothes immediately. He took his t-shirt and shorts from his cupboard and put them on immediately. As he had done changing, they started to study math side by side. Kairi explained to Sora well, and she gave several exercises to him and he started to work on it. During their study, they realized that they needed this time. The time that they could be together, just the two of them. Kairi started to say something to Sora.
“Sora, you know what? Back then. When I chose your clothes, I saw your pajamas and underwear. It reminded me when you’re sick. I was worried sick at you back then. But, thank goodness, that you’re fine after that.” Kairi explained as she laid her head at Sora’s shoulder.
“To be honest, Riku told me that too, you changed my clothes when I was sick.” Sora said as he started to blush, “Kairi, I’m sorry if I made you do that! I mean, I made you see mine… Anyway, Thank you for taking care of me back then…”
“Ah, It’s okay, Sora, I was panicked as well that day. You’re freezing. Riku hadn’t come, so I decided to changed your clothes first, I was worried at you. Don’t worry. I closed my eyes back then.” Kairi admitted blushingly, “Although… I touched yours inadvertently…”
Sora blushed as he knew the truth that Kairi touched that. He apologized to her several times, in the end Kairi forgave him, as that day was urgent for her.
“Sora? I’m also sorry about our home works… at Riku’s home…” Kairi said as she apologized at Sora.
“Oh, about what?” Sora asked confused.
“You know, I was really mad at you when you’re just playing around with Riku and Selphie, I didn’t realize that you’re trying to make me didn’t stress, in the end I was really mad at you.” Kairi explained.
“It’s very okay, Kairi, Well, I’m also sorry If I made you mad that day.” Sora said as he stroked her head while he kept working on his exercises.
“And to be honest, the reason I was mad was… you know… woman monthly problem…” Kairi started to admit shily.
“PMS?” Sora guessed it right.
“Yeah, you know. I did my best to hold the pain, but it seemed I couldn’t, in the end I bursted out my anger, and it was directly to you. But somehow, the PMS made me realize that I was growing up girl…” Kairi explained.
“I see. Well, you really had hard times, Kairi. If I were a girl, I could feel how PMS was.” Sora said as he had done his exercise, “Here, I’m done.”
“Oh, Let me check it.” Kairi received the answer sheets from Sora and checked it immediately.
Sora kept looking at Kairi who was smiling when she checked on his answer sheet. And Kairi’s smile was always Sora’s favorite. Sometimes he saw that Kairi was little bit sleepy, it’s natural since she was studying till midnight yesterday and she was less sleep. He put his jacket to cover her from cold and made her warm all the time.
“Sora, you’re amazing. You get them all right.” Kairi said as she happy with Sora’s progress.
“As long as you’re my teacher, I’ll do it seriously and get them all right, miss.” Sora said as he teased her.
“Hahaha. Sora! Cut it out! I’ll be die laughing, you know.” Kairi replied as she blushed.
Suddenly, they could hear that their stomachs were rumbling as they saw the clock. It’s 8 PM and they hadn’t eaten any. They starred each other and laughed.
“Okay, Let’s take a break and eat dinner. I’ll cook for you Kairi. You can wait here, okay?” Sora said as he kissed her forehead and walked out from his room.
“Sure, Mind If I make another exercise for you?” Kairi nodded as she offered Sora for another exercises.
“Sure, I need it. Thanks, Kairi.” Sora said as he left the room.
Sora made a dinner for him and Kairi for almost half hour. He made 2 plates of fried rice and fried eggs with 2 cups of coffee to make them stay awake until night. He also served some snacks which they could eat if they’re still hungry. Sora brought them all upstairs, as he entered his room, he found Kairi was sleeping. He knew that she’s tired because of studying. He put the foods on the table as he sat beside her.
“Kairi? The food is ready. Let’s eat.” Sora said as sat beside her and tried to wake her up.
Kairi was still in her deep slumber. Sora kept looking at her, her hair, her face, and the way she slept. He played with her red hair which made him happy.
“She’s so cute when she’s sleeping.” He whispered in his mind.
When he saw her lips, he was blushing. He thought about kissing her when she was sleeping. He shook his head many times but useless, he kept blushing at his face.
“Why should I shy? I mean I had done this before!” He kept telling himself deep inside his heart.
He leaned down his head towards her, his lips met hers as he kept stroking her hair lovely. As Sora was still kissing Kairi, Kairi opened her eyes little by little. She could feel Sora’s lips at hers. It felt good and nice. Kairi had never felt a good kiss like this before. As Sora broke his kiss, Kairi gave him a smile.
“Oh, Sora. I’m sorry I was sleeping.” Kairi said as she let out her yawn.
“Oh it’s…” Sora said as he blushed and shocked.
Sora and Kairi didn’t realize that Riku and Selphie had come in front of the room at watched them kissing. Kairi looked at them shocked at she was blushing as well as Sora.
“It. Was. Nice. Sora. Kairi.” Riku said with shock at his face.

Chapter 1: Sick Day (Insert Date and Time : Wednesday, June 3rd 2015, 03 : 02 PM -- UTC + 7 Hrs)
It’s 6 AM in the morning. A girl with red short hair and a boy with silver hair came to a small house. They’re both wearing uniforms and carried their bag. They knocked at the door and a woman opened the door.
“Good morning, Riku, Kairi. Both of you come early this morning. Come inside the house and let’s have a breakfast together.”
It’s Sora’s mom. She greeted Kairi and Riku. As she’d greeted both of them and let them come inside the house, she continued preparing breakfast.
“Thank you, auntie. We have eaten our breakfast. Is Sora awake?” Riku asked.
“I have tried to wake him up, but he’s still in deep sleeping.” Sora’s Mom said.
“Ah, auntie, if you don’t mind, can we try to wake him up? Maybe he’ll wake up.” Kairi asked.
“Oh, sure, Kairi, Riku. You can go upstairs, you can find his room there.” the mom said as she pointed to the upstairs, “thank you for helping wake him up.”
“No problem, auntie. Besides, we plan to go to school together.” Kairi said as she and Riku walked to the upstairs and whispered at Riku’s ear, “I wonder what he’d just done last night so that he can’t wake up this morning?”
“No idea.” Riku said as he shrugged, “Anyway, it’s getting late. Let’s wake him up. Anyway, I have to come earlier since Sora and I have class duty.”
Kairi nodded. They stood in front of Sora’s room and knocked his room door.
“Sora, are you awake? C’mon lazy bum. It’s 6 AM, you and Riku have class duty today. You have to go to school earlier.” Kairi said as she knocked at Sora’s room.
“Um, Kairi, I think you can stop knocking, the door is unlocked.” Riku said as he opened the door.
As they entered the room, they found Sora had worn his uniform, with strange condition.
“Umm… Good morning, Kairi, Riku. Wait, I’ll be downstairs after I put my tie. I’m sorry for making both of you wait.” Sora said with a weak voice.
Something was not right. Sora was always cheerful and energetic. But today, he seemed out of energy and his face was pale. He seemed like sick people. Riku and Kairi were getting worried about him.
“Sora, your face is red and pale. Is there something wrong? You’re like sick guy.” Riku asked worried.
“If you feel sick, you can absent today. I’ll do your class duty.” Kairi asked.
“No, guys. I’m fine. I’m just sleepy. Everything is fine. I’ll go downstairs after I put my tie!” Sora said with smile in his face as he tried to put his tie.
Sora walked to his desk to take his bag after he put his tie, suddenly he felt dizzy. He walked like drunk man. As soon as he reach the desk and took the bag, he collapsed. Kairi and Riku approached him; and Riku grabbed his body.
“Sora, are you alright?” Kairi asked worried and grabbed his hand.
“No, Kairi, I’m fine. I’m just dizzy. Maybe I’m just too sleepy. Don’t worry, I’m fine. Let’s go to school anyway.” Sora said as he tried to stand up and fell again. Thankfully Riku grabbed him again.
“No, Sora. You ARE NOT fine. You’ve just collapsed. Not once, but Twice! It’s just not like you. Is there something?” Kairi asked again.
“Sora, your body is hot! You’re definitely not fine! You’ve got fever! You can’t go to school like this!” Riku said as he touched Sora’s forehead and asked, “Kairi, can you ask Sora’s mom for temperature and fever compress?”
Kairi nodded and went to downstairs. She met Sora’s parents at the dining room.
“Auntie, do you have temperature and fever compress? Sora is sick. It seems he can’t go to school today.” Kairi asked.
“Yes I have, let me take it for you, I will check his condition as well.” the mom said as she took temperature and fever compress at medicine cabinet.
Kairi and Sora’s mom went upstairs to check Sora’s condition. When they arrived at the room, Riku had lied Sora at his bed. As soon as they’d arrived, Sora’s mom checked her son’s body temperature. After 5 minutes passed, the temperature was beeping.
“It’s 38.5 Celcius Degree. You got fever, Sora! You should absent for today. Take a rest. Anyway, the finals are next week. You have to study hard after this. So, you had better recover first. You said that you wanted to get good scores again, right, sonny?” the mom said as she stood up and walked outside the room, “I’ll pick up some cold medicines and make you porridge, make sure you eat it and drink the medicines, okay?”
“Okay, mom. Thanks.” Sora replied as he nodded his head weak.
“Auntie, wait, let me help you to prepare the porridge.” Kairi said as she stood up as well to help Sora’s mom to make porridge.
“Sure, Kairi, thank you.” the mom said with smile in her face.
As soon as Kairi and Sora’s mom went downstairs to make porridge, Riku took T-Shirts and shorts from the cupboard and he changed Sora’s clothes. After he had changed the clothes, riku put the uniform hung at the cupboard and put fever compress at Sora’s forehead. He took a small chair near the desk.
“Umm, I’m sorry to bother you Riku. Thanks.” Sora said with a weak voice.
“Never mind, Did you do something last night?” Riku asked.
“Ah, last night I was practicing playing skateboard in the middle of the rain for skateboard club meeting at this Friday, after that I was helping my dad to repair the roof from leak until midnight.” Sora explained.
“No wonder you got fever. Anyway, your mom was right. You should rest. Let me and Kairi do your class duty. So, you don’t have to worry about that. Anyway, We have finals next week. You want to get good scores to make her happy, right? That’s why, you have to recover first” Riku suggested.
“Ah, that’s true, Riku. You know, she always worried me when I got bad scores back then, I don’t wanna make her worry. It seems I make her worry again with my sickness…” Sora said as his voice was getting weaker and tried to sit on his bed.
“Sora, you can lie at your bed. You’re still in weak condition.” Riku said as he prevented Sora to sit on his bed, “Oh, Kairi. Auntie.”
Kairi and Sora’s mom had been finished making the porridge. They put the porridge, cold medicines, and glass of mineral water on the desk.
“Thanks, mom.” Sora said.
“You’re welcome, sonny.” the mom replied as she walked out from the room.
“Well, auntie, I think we’ll go to school as well, It’s 6.45 AM.” Riku said as he stood up from the chair.
“Sure, Riku, Kairi. Thank you for helping me and Sora. Especially Kairi, thanks for helping me to make porridge. You’re good in cooking! Riku, Kairi. I hope you do the best at school.” the mom replied with smile in her face as she praised Kairi for her cooking skill.
“you’re welcome, auntie!” Riku and Kairi replied.
“Hey, Sora. Don’t forget to eat the porridge and take the medicines. Kairi has made it for you. I’m sure you don’t wanna waste it. She’ll be sad if you waste it.” Riku said as he teased him, “Anyway, after the school ends, I’ll come here again to check your condition. Get better soon, Sora.”
“I won’t!” Sora shouted as he’s blushing.
“Sora… get better soon, okay? Take a rest. I’ll come here as well after I’m done with school. Anyway, don’t forget to eat and drink your medicines. Don’t worry about home works, school works, and class duty. I’ll do the class duty. I’ll ask the teacher if I can bring your home works and school works to your home. Now, you have to take a rest and make sure you have recovered, okay? Finals are coming. I’m worried if you can’t study well.” Kairi said as she was blushing and touched Sora’s forehead.
Sora nodded as he was blushed his cheek as well.
Riku and Kairi left Sora in his room and went to school together.
Chapter 2: Unusual School Day (Insert Date and Time : Wednesday, June 3rd 2015, 05: 15 PM -- UTC + 7 Hrs)
As soon as Riku and Kairi left the room and went to school, Sora tried to get up from the bed and ate the food that had been prepared. As soon as he tried to stand up, he felt dizzy, but he kept trying to walk towards his desk. As he reached the desk, he sat on chair and ate the porridge slowly. He smiled every time he ate the porridge. He whispered to himself, “C’mon, Sora, just how many times you have made Kairi worry about you? Anyway, I have to finish eating this and take a rest.”
After Sora had eaten his porridge, he took the cold medicine and drank it. He sat on his desk for while after eat. Not long afterward, his mom entered his room with a glass of mineral water. She changed the empty glass with the new one and cleaned up the desk.
“Thank you mom!” Sora said.
“you’re welcome, sweetheart. Anyway, you have to rest after this, okay?” the mom replied as she walked out from the room.
“Okay, mom.” Sora replied as he stood up from the chair.
Suddenly, Sora felt sleepy, he thought it’s because the medicines effect, he went back to his bed and sleeping until he recovered.
Riku and Kairi reached the school at 7 AM, they started to do class duty before the class started at 8 AM.
“Riku, let’s go to Sora’s after we’ve done our school, I’m worried about his condition.” Kairi said with a weak voice.
“Sure Kairi, but I’m sorry, it seems you have to go first, I’ll be late, since I have meeting at student council.” Riku said as he put his right hand at his head, “Hey Kairi, you shouldn’t worry about Sora too much, I’m sure he’ll be fine.”
“No, Riku, I can’t. You saw that Sora was collapsed, right? It made me worried. You know, going school without him is different…” Kairi said as she let out a sigh.
Riku smiled at Kairi, he knew that Kairi liked Sora, he thought that it’s natural if she worried Sora much.
“You’re right Kairi. Say, do you…”
As Riku asked Kairi about Sora, Selphie came to the classroom.
“Good Morning, Kairi, Riku!”
“Good Morning, Selphie! You come early!” Kairi and Riku greeted.
“Well, to be honest, I didn’t come home last night, the rain was hard yesterday, I got call from my parents that our house and several neighbors house had flood. My parents suggested me to stay at my friend house. I didn’t expect that the rain would be bad yesterday!” Selphie said with grumpy face.
“That’s too bad. Well, last night I got black out as well, thankfully it’s only for 30 minutes.” Riku said as he crossed his arms.
“Anyway, Kairi, why do you do class duty? I think your class duty is tomorrow!” Selphie asked confused.
“To be honest, I’m exchanging it with Sora…” Kairi said as she placed the board eraser.
“Oh yes, that’s explaining why he doesn’t here today, where’s he?” Selphie asked.
“Well, He got high fever, we have just been there.” Riku said.
“That’s too bad. I just hope he gets better. Anyway, Kairi. Let me help you to do class duty. Besides, the class is quiet, right?” Selphie said as she took broom and swept the class floor.
Selphie was right. They saw the class clock, it’s 7.45 AM. The class was still quiet. Usually the class was crowded at that time. But today, only 15 of 30 people were at the room, including Riku, Kairi, and Selphie. Finally, they had done the class duty and cleaned up the utilities. They sat up at their desk and waited for the teacher came.
“Riku, what do you wanna ask earlier?” Kairi asked with confuse expression.
“Well.. you know…” Riku said with hesitation as he looked at Selphie.
“Don’t worry, I won’t spill the beans!” Selphie said as she smiled and crossed her arms above her head.
Riku continued his question to Kairi. “You know Kairi. I hope you say it honestly. You like Sora, don’t you?”
Kairi blushed immediately after hearing what Riku asked. Selphie saw her face burnt to red.
“Kairi, you don’t have to be shy! Riku and I know that you like him, even our close friends know it as well. It’s obvious. You worried about him. I remembered when Sora got remedial at math, you seemed worry if he couldn’t pass his remedial test. You skipped the club activity to help him study math, didn’t you?”
“I have to add what Selphie said, this morning, when Sora collapsed and his mom was about to make him a food, you helped her as well, didn’t you? I remembered that when I came to your house, Mayor said that you studied cooking things. I believed that the porridge was not created by Sora’s mom. But, you were the one who made it. Am I right?” Riku asked as she pointed his finger to Kairi.
Kairi sighed and tried to tell her friends the truth. It seemed she couldn’t hide her feelings any longer.
“Well, It seems I can’t longer hide it. Yes, I like him. I like him since we’re 14.”
“Why don’t you tell him that you like him? I mean, it’s been 3 years! Maybe, if you tell him the truth, he’ll like you as well, Kairi!” Selphie asked.
“Selphie, it’s hard for me to say it. We’re still child that day! You know, Sora traveled to any worlds to go look for Riku and The King!”
“Oh well, Kairi, maybe it’s the right time to say it for you. A year ago, when I and Sora decided to go to school with you and not to use any magic or keyblade things, he told me something about you…”
As Riku said it to Kairi, the teacher came to the classroom. The trio sat back at their desk and started the lesson. They saw that the class was still quiet. It’s only 17 people in the class. They didn’t mind it and continued to study. The first lesson was foreign language (Note: refer this foreign language to any language you want to choose, for me I think I’ll choose Korean =D ). After 40 minutes passed, the first period was over. As usual, the teacher gave the home works which had to be collected at before the foreign lesson exam. Kairi asked the teacher if she could keep Sora’s home work. The teacher agreed and gave it to Kairi. The next lesson was about to begin.
Selphie, who sat up in front of Kairi, asked Kairi about the class why the class seemed quiet than usual. Kairi shrugged. Kairi and Selphie kept talking while they were waiting for the teacher. Since the finals were coming next week, they also studied for the finals. They also saw that the other students were also studying to prepare the finals, for them it’s not the rare sight, since the finals were really important for their grades and if they could promote to the next grade.
After 15 minutes, the teacher had not come yet, Selphie decided to go to teacher’s room. Riku stood up from his chair and sat on Selphie’s chair.
“So, you do bring his homework. I think I can say no more if you like him.”
“Well, I have just promised him that I would bring his homework, you heard it, didn’t you?”
“Heard it, clearly. Well, it seems our class is really quiet, eh? If Sora were here, it would be crowded, he’s close to anyone here.”
“It is.”
Kairi put her face in sad state. She knew that she missed Sora much. Riku could guess it from her face. Not long afterward, Selphie came back from the teacher’s room.
“Well, I can say this is good news for us, today we’ll go home earlier, since lot of teacher are absent, I asked the principal that several teacher were unable to go to school since they had heavy rain at their houses, moreover they had flood at their house. Besides, the principal also received the calls from students that lot of students were sick! Flu and fever mostly.” Selphie explained as she let out her sigh.
“Well, that’s explain why the teacher didn’t come and lot of our friends have been absent from yesterday. I guess today is the worst.” Riku said as he stood up from the chair, “the teacher for the lesson and next lesson are absent, now the class is free, right? I’ll go to student council president class. I’ll ask him about the meeting today. Kairi, if you wanna go to Sora’s, you can go first, I’ll catch you up later.”
“Sure, Riku.” Kairi replied as she nodded her head.
“Hey, Kairi, how about we go to canteen? Since lot of our friends are skipping class for free~” Selphie asked as she took out her wallet from her bag.
“Sure, that’ll be great. To be honest, I was also sleepy at the first period, so, coffee will cast my sleep away.” Kairi replied as she took her wallet from her bag and rubbed her face from sleepiness.
Selphie and Kairi made their way to the canteen. On the way, they met Riku who had just met with the student council pres. Riku told Kairi that he would go to Sora’s after the meeting, so she had to go first. Kairi agreed and the trio made their way to canteen. The canteen seemed quiet, it’s natural since lot of students and teachers were absent. They could buy anything that they liked easier and spent the free time for 2 hours. At 11 AM, the principal announced that school had been ended and the students could go home. Kairi stood up and went to buy fish soup and chicken rice before she went to Sora’s.
“Those are his favorites, right?” Selphie asked as she noticed the foods that Kairi had bought.
“Sora likes that much. I think he’ll happy to eat that. Well, I think you should serve it fast to him. It’ll be nice if you can serve it warm. Anyway, I’ll go to student council room. See you later, Kairi, Selphie!” Riku stood up as he walked to the student council room.
“I think I’ll go home too. I need to help my parents to clean my house. See you later, Kairi! Tell Sora, get better soon!” Selphie said as she waved her hands to Kairi and said goodbye to her.
“Sure, Riku, Selphie! I’ll go as well. I’m still worried about him as well.” Kairi replied as she brought the packaged food for Sora. She headed back to class, picked up her bag, and made her way to Sora’s home.
Chapter 3: Kairi's Busy Day. (Insert Date and Time : Wednesday, June 3rd 2015, 05: 15 PM -- UTC + 7 Hrs) -- This chapter maybe contains heavy language. You have been warned.
Kairi left the school and she walked fast toward Sora’s house. She decided to pack her lunch instead ate it at school, so that she could eat it at Sora’s, while she took care of him. As soon as she arrived at Sora’s house, she knocked the door. But, no one answered. She knocked many times, but no one opened the door.
“Maybe they took Sora to ER or doctor… Well, maybe I’ll check there…” Kairi thought as she walked away from the door. Suddenly, woman neighbor approached her.
“You must be Kairi, right?” The woman asked Kairi.
“Yes, ma’am. How do you know my name? Anyway, where are Sora’s families? Did you know where they go?” Kairi asked confuse.
“I know you because you always go here. Sora’s mom told about you much. About Sora’s family, his dad went to buy several house appliances and his mom went to drug store to buy some cold medicines for Sora, she told me that she would be back fast. But it’s already 2 hours. She’s sure late.” The woman explained as she handed over the house key to Kairi, “anyway Kairi, she left me this, in case you came to the house, you can use this key to open the door.”
“Thank you, ma’am. I’ll go check him now.” Kairi thanked as she received the key and bowed to her.
Kairi used the key to open the house, she entered the house and put Sora’s food that she had packed with hers at dining table. She noticed there’s note on the table.
Kairi, Riku, if you have come to the house, I’m sorry If I and uncle went outside to buy house appliances and cold medicines, since we ran out of medicines, Don’t worry, we’ll be back as soon as possible. In case you need compress, there are 2 in medicine box, you can use them if they was needed. Thank you for taking good care of Sora. –Uncle & Auntie-
“Whew, maybe I’ll go check Sora upstairs.” Kairi let out her sigh as she put the note back on the table.
Kairi went upstairs and opened Sora’s room. As she entered the room, she saw Sora was sleeping and she checked his condition immediately.
“Sora, It’s me Kairi. Your mom and dad asked me to take care of you while they’re going outside. How’s your condition now?” Kairi asked as she approached Sora.
Sora didn’t reply Kairi’s said, he covered himself with blanket. But, Kairi noticed there’s something wrong with her.
“Sora, are you okay? If there’s something, you can tell me…” Kairi said as she opened the blanket, she noticed he’s covered with sweat and his clothes were wet, “Sora, are you okay? You’re shivering and sweating much! And gosh, your fever is still high. Your clothes are wet! Wait, …”
Kairi was panicked and confused, she didn’t know what to do. Riku hadn’t come yet, since he still had meeting at school. She had never changed clothes for boys before, if Riku had been there, he would have changed Sora’s clothes. But, since he didn’t here, she must did it alone, she couldn’t stand seeing Sora’s shivering. She took pajamas and underwear from the cupboard and she’s about to change his clothes.
“Kairi, you can do it. Just pretend it’s nothing and think that he’s your little brother.” Kairi let out her sigh.
Kairi wiped Sora’s sweat before she changed his clothes as Sora let our his groan, after that, she tried to sit Sora in his bed and took off his T-shirt and shorts, as she tried to take off his underwear, she closed her eyes and took it off fast. She put on the one that she had taken from the cupboard fast. She relieved and opened her eyes. She continued to put on the pajamas at him. After done, she lied Sora on his bed and covered him up with blanket. She also put the wet one at the basket outside the room.
“Kairi, pretend that was nothing. THAT WAS NOTHING. THINK THAT HE’S YOUR BROTHER. YEAH, HE IS YOUR BROTHER.” Kairi said as she blush at her face and slapped her face from embarrassment.
Kairi went back to the room and changed the fever compress with the new one. After everything had done well, she sat next to sleeping Sora and stroked his head. Sora tried to open his eyes with his weak condition and started to have little chat with Kairi.
“Um… Kairi… did… you…”
“There’s nothing to worry about Sora! I’m okay, you had better sleep now. You haven’t recovered. Don’t worry I’ll be here. If you need something I can help you.” Kairi replied as she grabbed his hand.
Sora closed his eyes again and slept fast. Somehow he felt that he felt comfortable with Kairi by his side. Kairi let out her sigh as she saw Sora back to his sleep. She kept stroking his head to make him comfortable while her hand kept grabbing his hand.
“Whoa, he sleeps fast.” Kairi sighed again and said to herself, “Like him, eh? Maybe you guys are right. I just can’t let him like this. But, how about his feelings?”
Kairi saw smiled face on Sora’s face, she relieved that he’s gonna be okay. She decided to take her lunch for a while downstairs and brought the lunch to his room, so that she could help Sora as soon as possible if Sora’d needed her help. Before she went downstairs, she kissed his forehead, which left with smile at Sora’s face.
“I’ll be back here for a sec, okay?” She whispered as she left the room.
It’s 1 PM already, the meeting had done, Riku stepped out from the student council room and said goodbye to all student council members. He made his way to Sora’s as he had been promised to Sora’s parents at the morning. As he left the school, one of Skateboard member, which was Sora’s friend approached him.
“you must be Riku, right?” the boy asked.
“Yes, is there something?” Riku asked back.
“Um. In case you met Sora today, please tell him that the meeting which held on this Friday is canceled, our leader had to go overseas, since there’s his family whose passed away.” The boy explained as he gave something to Riku, “And here’s his skateboard that I borrowed few days ago, if you don’t mind can you return it to him?”
“Oh, I see. I’m sorry to hear about the news. Sure. I can return it to him. Well, Sora is sick as well. I’m about to visit his house to check his condition, wanna come as well?” Riku said his condolences and received the skateboard as he also invited Sora’s friend to come along with him to Sora’s house.
“Oh, I’m sorry, I think I’ll pass. I would love to come, but, I have promised my parents to go home fast after the school is over.” The boy replied as she left the school running. “Thank you. Please tell Sora to get better soon.”
Riku gave him thumb up and made his way to Sora’s house.
Kairi had done eating her lunch, she kept looking for Sora, not leaving him anywhere. She stroked his head many times, to make him comfortable. Sometimes, she let out her yawning. But for Sora, she kept her eyes open and fought her sleepiness.
“He’s still in high fever. What do I do?” Kairi said as she watched Sora’s sleeping.
Not long afterward, Sora opened his eyes, he felt uncomfortable in his stomach. He started to stand up from his bed. He felt dizzy and he covered up his mouth. He’s about to vomit.
“Sora, what’s going on? No, no, don’t tell me that you’re about to vomit! Wait, I’ll help you. Let’s go to bathroom.” Kairi stood up as she helped Sora stood up and rushed to bathroom.
Kairi gave little massage at his back of his neck while Sora’s vomiting. After done, she brought back Sora to his bed, while she went downstairs to take a glass of mineral water. She gave it to Sora and he drank it till the glass was empty. After it’s done, she let Sora slept again, as she went downstairs to take mineral water jug and brought it to the room in case Sora needed to drink. Not long afterward, she heard knocking at the door. She opened the door, it’s Riku. She felt relived somehow.
“Kairi, how’s Sora?” Riku asked.
“He’s still in high fever and he’s just vomited.” Kairi sighed as she’s sad.
“I see. Let’s go upstairs. I’ll help you bring that jug.” Riku sighed as well as he helped Kairi to bring the water jug.
Riku and Kairi entered the room together, they saw Sora was still sleeping. But, Riku noticed there’s something different.
“Kairi, you don’t say that…” Riku said as he looked at Sora’s clothes.
“Yes, I changed his clothes. All of them. When I came home, Sora was shivering, he’s sweating a lot. His clothes were wet, so I changed his clothes.” Kairi said as she’s blushing once again.
Riku was speechless and he started to blush.
“ah, don’t worry, Riku! I closed my eyes when I changed the clothes. Although, um. It’s little embarrassing for me. It’s the first time I did this.” Kairi said.
“I see. You have guts, Kairi. Well, I should come earlier…” Riku said as he chuckled.
“Oh, it’s okay, Riku. You know. It’s sad seeing Sora like this. He slept like a prince, but he didn’t know that we’re worried about him.” Kairi said as she stroked Sora’s head again and wiped his sweat, “Say, Riku. What did you wanna say back then in school about Sora?”
“Well, Kairi, I think you should know now. I think you and him have to settle the things right. You know. Back then, Sora asked me to go to island for refreshing, he told me about you. But, he couldn’t say it directly to you. I still don’t know the reason why.” Riku started to explain, “But, I believed he said the truth. He said that he liked you as well, Kairi. The same as you said that you liked him.”
Kairi was shocked. She’s unable to talk single words.
“Are you okay, Kairi?” Riku asked.
Kairi nodded, and started to asked, “Did he… say that?”
“Yes. He liked you. He said that to me. He had been liking you since we’re 14. But, every time he met you, he had difficulty to tell it to you. Until one day he told me about it. He also didn’t mind if he didn’t become Keyblade Master or something else, as long as he saw you happy and were able to be your side, it’s more than enough.” Riku explained as he looked at Sora, “Maybe, your presence here, comforting him, taking good care or him in his sickness is more than enough for him. He’s happy. Can you see his happy face? Even though he’s sick now, he’s still happy.”
“He really wants to have normal life without any keyblade things, nobody things, heartless things just like we’re used to be. To be honest, he could cure himself using magic, but. He tried to forget about it.” Riku continued, “Um.. Kairi, are you okay?”
Kairi couldn’t say nothing except she let her tears fell from her eyes.
Chapter 4: Recovery (Insert Date and Time : Wednesday, June 3rd 2015, 10: 25 PM -- UTC + 7 Hrs)
Kairi ended up crying after listening what Riku had just said. She couldn’t believe that the boy she had been liking for 3 years also liked her, more than she could imagine. Back then, She and Sora thought it as funny things, but now it’s different. They really liked each other. But they didn’t know each feelings. Kairi kept looking for Sora, who was in deep sleep to recover himself, sometimes she stroked his head, wiped his sweat, and grabbed his hand.
“Riku, I’m just sad that I don’t realize it. I mean, he likes me and so do I, but, we haven’t said that each other…” Kairi said as she wiped her tears.
“Kairi, it’s not your fault, it’s not Sora’s fault as well. It’s just a matter of time. Maybe both of you haven’t got perfect time to say it.” Riku explained as he put both of his hands at Kairi’s shoulders, “I believe, there’s perfect time for both of you to say it. So don’t be sad.”
Kairi nodded and smiled. She looked at Sora once again and smiled happily with tears dripping from her face once again. She now knew the fact. The fact that Sora was love her. She grabbed his hand and said, “thank you, Sora. Please get better soon.”
“Anyway, I will re-heat Sora’s meal and prepare the medicines. I’ll be back, Riku.” Kairi stood up as she walked out from the room.
As Kairi walked out to the room, Sora was groaning. He felt sick. Riku and Kairi started to worry about him. Suddenly, Sora casted his keyblade with his left hand. Riku and Kairi shocked immediately.
“Sora, what are you doing with the keyblade?” Riku asked.
Sora didn’t answer a single word. He started to cast magic which made the room messed up.
“Sora, what’s wrong with you? Snap out of it!” Kairi approached him and grabbed his left hand. But, her attempt was failed, which made her was thrown hit the cupboard. Riku ran to her immediately, he was worried if Kairi had serious injury.
“Kairi, are you okay? You was hit very hard!” Riku asked as he helped Kairi to stand up.
“Urgh. I’m okay. Please stop him. It seems he will cast another magic.” Kairi said as she felt her back was in pain.
“Okay, I’ll try to stop it.” Riku replied as he nodded.
Riku used his keyblade to stop Sora’s magic, but it’s useless. Sora kept casting magic and made the room in chaos. Kairi stood up and also casted her keyblade to help Riku with her magic. But, their attempts were useless.
“Man, how do we stop him? The house will be destroyed if he keep doing this!” Riku sighed as he wiped his blood at his face.
“Riku, Kairi! I’ll try to stop him! Please hold Sora’s body!”
Riku and Kairi heard a voice that they had known before. It’s from Sora’s body.
“Roxas!” Riku and Kairi shouted.
“Well, don’t worry, his body is weak, I can possess him for a while and make him stop! Please hold his body.” Roxas shouted as he appeared in front of Kairi and Riku.
Riku and Kairi nodded, they did as Roxas told. They hold Sora’s body.
“Sora, calm down! Stop it!” Kairi begged.
Sora keep grunting and groaning, while Roxas tried to control Sora from inside his body. Once again, Kairi and Riku were thrown and hit the door. But they rose quickly and held Sora once again.
“Sora, if you can hear me, please stop! You’ll hurt your friends!” Roxas shouted inside Sora.
“Sora! I know you’re sick, but you have to stop!” Riku shouted as well as he got several kicks and punches at his face.
“Sora, stop!” Kairi shouted as she held Sora’s left hand.
Not long afterward, they finally stopped Sora. The keyblade was unequipped. Riku and Kairi let out their sighs. Roxas appeared once again in front of them.
“Roxas. Thanks. You’re big help!” Riku and Kairi said.
“No problem, guys!” Roxas replied as he started to disappeared.
Suddenly Kairi felt hurt at the her back, which made Riku started to worried. He checked Kairi’s back and found that her back serious injured.
“Kairi, you should go to ER! You got serious injury!” Riku suggested.
“No, Riku. I’m okay. Anyway, would you mind helping me to re-heat Sora’s meal and prepare his medicines first? After this we should clean up his room. I’ll be here and take care of him.” Kairi begged.
Riku nodded as he walked out from the room and left Kairi and Sora alone at the room. She wiped Sora’s sweat and covered him with blanket once again. She grabbed his right hand immediately.
“Sora, what’s wrong with you?” Kairi asked with a weak voice.
“Kairi, he’s hurt. Whenever he’s sick, sometimes he can’t control his power. But today is the worst.” Roxas said as he appeared in front of Kairi and looked for Sora.
“I start to worry if he does this again. What should I do?” Kairi asked as she shook her head and casted her keyblade, “Well, I’ll use Cure magic to him…”
As Kairi casted her magic, Roxas held her hand and shook his head, “Stop, Kairi.”
“Why?” Kairi confused as she unequipped her keyblade.
“To be honest, he wanted to be healed without any magic.” Roxas explained, “His heart said that. He wanted to have normal life without any magic. So please, stay by his side. I know you’re the girl he likes. You can make he feels better.”
Kairi stopped and nodded at Roxas. She kept grabbed Sora’s hand.
“Sora, please get better soon. Let’s play together again after this, okay?” Kairi said with a little smile at her face. But suddenly, she let out her groan as the pain at her back was getting worse.
Not long afterward, Riku came to the room with medicine box and meal. He placed the meal on the desk. Riku used pain reliever balm and applied it at Kairi’s back. Thanks to the balm, Kairi felt better than before, After Kairi had been healed, Kairi applied bandage at Riku’s head.
“Kairi, you don’t need to push yourself to cleaned up Sora’s room. Make sure you stay by his side. I’ll try to clean up.” Riku suggested.
Kairi nodded as she kept watching over Sora. After an hour, Riku had finished cleaning Sora’s room and fixed the broken cupboard. Riku looked at the clock at the desk. It’s 3 PM. Riku sat on the floor as he put his home works from his bag and started to work it. Riku was really diligent student. Sometimes, he looked Sora and Kairi. He’s waiting if Sora woke up and wanted to eat since Sora hadn’t eaten any foods. Kairi, who’s staying by Sora’s side fell asleep because of exhausting. She never let go her hands from Sora.
Not long afterward, Sora opened his eyes and let out his yawn. He started to sit on his bed, which made Riku stopped working his home works.
“Riku?” How long have you been here?” Sora asked.
“Sora. You’re awake. How’s your feeling?” Riku asked as he approached Sora.
“Well, I’m not dizzy anymore. It seems I’m no longer having fever. Can you pass me the temperature?” Sora asked as he stroked his head.
Riku passed the temperature to Sora. Thankfully Sora has recovered. Sora looked surroundings, he found that something strange with his rooms.
“Riku, what’s going on with my room?” Sora asked.
“Well, you see. You casted your keyblade and did some uncontrollable magic. Somehow me, Kairi, and Roxas managed to stop you. You almost destroyed your own room. Moreover, you’re success made Kairi injured.” Riku sighed.
“Kairi? Injured?” Man, What have I …” Sora shocked as he saw Kairi was sleeping right by his side, still grabbing his hand.
“That’s true. She tried to stop you, but your power threw her and made her injured at her back. I had applied pain reliever balm at her back, she felt better. Why don’t you see your right side? She’s been there to take care of you. She never left you until she fell asleep because of exhausting.” Riku said as he pointed to Kairi.
“Kairi, Riku. I’m sorry… Kairi, are you okay? Kairi…” Sora apologized as he tried to wake Kairi up, but Kairi was still sleeping.
“Well, I guess you had debt to her as well, Sora.” Riku said with grin at his face.
“Debt? What debt?” Sora confused.
“Check your clothes. And the food at the desk.” Riku said as he pointed at Sora and the food on the desk.
“Oh. It seems my clothes have been changed. Wait. Debt? Kairi? You don’t say…” Sora said as he shocked.
“Yes, true. She changed your clothes because you had been covered by sweat. She also bought your favorite meal at school. She did everything to you.” Riku explained. “Well, you should thank her. Besides, I was also surprised when she told me that she changed your clothes.”
Sora was blushing once again, he confused, remained speechless. He looked at Kairi who’s sleeping. He smiled at her and whispered 'thanks and sorry' at her ear.
“Hey, Sora. You have recovered. Eat something! It’s still warm.” Riku said as he stood up and brought the meal to Sora.
Chapter 5: Feelings (Insert Date and Time : Wednesday, June 3rd 2015, 10: 25 PM -- UTC + 7 Hrs)
Sora ate the food which bought by Kairi slowly. He seemed enjoy the food and didn’t want to finish it fast since they were his favorite. Sometimes he looked at Kairi who was sleeping at his bed side and he ended up blushing at her. After he finished it, he took the cold medicines that had been prepared.
“Riku, I don’t have any words to say except thank you to you and Kairi. I’m sorry as well if I bothered both of you.” Sora said as he let out his sigh.
“Well, It’s okay, besides you’re our best friend. We should care each other. Anyway, When Kairi wakes up, you should thank her as well. She’s… worried about you so much.” Riku said as he sat at the side of the bed.
“Definitely, Riku. You and Kairi deserves big thanks.” Sora said as he stroked Kairi’s red hair, Kairi, thank you. I’m sorry if I made you hurt.”
Sora leaned his head and kissed her at forehead. Riku watched it and smiled at both of them. He’s sure that Sora and Kairi would be good each other.
“Sora, have you told her your feelings?” Riku asked.
“I haven’t, Riku. I think it’s not easy task. But someday, I have. Besides, I don’t know her feelings toward me…” Sora said as he shook his head.
“I see. So you haven’t known her feelings at you.” Riku let out his sigh.
“What do you mean? Did she tell you something?” Sora asked as he noticed that Riku was hiding something in his mind.
“Well, she did. She told me and Selphie.” Riku replied as she crossed his arms.
“What did she say?” Please tell me.” Sora insisted.
“Nope. I don’t want to say it. You have to figure it by yourself.” Riku shook his head.
“Aww… Riku! C’mon. tell me. I insist it!” Sora insisted more and more.
“Hmm. I will say it, but. I will ask you first, how’s your feeling toward her?” Riku asked as he tapped his fingers.
“My feelings?” Sora confused and remained silent as he let out his sigh.
“Hmm… My feelings to her, huh? I think I have ever told you, right? I like her. More than anything. I just… want her always right beside me.” Sora said as he looked at Kairi, “I will be sad if she’s hurt because of me.”
“Well, strong reason to like her. You should treat her dinner or lunch after this, or maybe you can invite her to study together at your house. Do something that make her happy. You’ll understand her feelings.” Riku suggested.
“Well, that’s nice idea, Riku. I should do it, since the finals are coming. “Sora agreed and asked back, “Say, Riku, what did she say to you?”
“Okay, she said that she liked you as well. She had admitted in front of me and Selphie. She also didn’t want to make you worried, she tried her best to help you. Especially your grades and your condition today. She brought your homework and bought your favorite meal today. She’s cared for you. And as for reminder… She changed your clothes.” Riku explained as he grinned.
“Riku, don’t remind it about clothes again. It’s embarrassing!” Sora said as he started to blush.
“No need to shy, she closed her eyes when she changed your clothes.” Riku laughed as he heard the entrance door opened and stood up. “I guess your parents have been returned. Anyway, I have to go home early, I have promised to my parents to help their jobs this evening. Get better soon and take a rest, Sora. Oh yes, your friend from Skateboard Club asked me to return your skateboard. I had put them outside your room.”
“Oh, okay, Riku. Thanks for everything.” Sora replied.
“No problem, Lastly, enjoy the moment, you two.” Riku teased as he carried his bag and walked out the room.
“Riku!” Sora shouted as he started to blush.
“Hahaha! It seems you get better and better! Anyway, see you tomorrow, Sora!” Riku laughed as he left Sora and Kairi alone.
Sora let out his sigh and he looked at Kairi, who tried to open her eyes.
“Kairi?” Sora asked with a small voice.
“Um.. Sora, are you awake?” Kairi asked as she looked at her hand was still grabbing Sora’s right hand and she pull it off . “ Oh I’m sorry, I was sleeping! How’s your feeling, Sora?”
“Thankfully, I have recovered Kairi. Thanks to you. Thank you for everything. I’m sorry if I made you hurt earlier.” Sora said with a smile at his face.
“It’s no big deal, Sora. Thank Goodness that you’re fine!” Kairi said happily as she hugged Sora.
“Kairi? What’s going on?” Sora confused.
“It’s nothing, I was worried sick at you. I’m glad that you’re okay now.” Kairi said as she started to cry little bit.
After Kairi let go off her hug, Sora’s parents came to the room and checked their son condition. They relieved that their son had completely recovered. They bought him some breads and fruits and placed them at the desk. They asked Kairi if Kairi could join dinner with them and Sora. Kairi refused it since she had promised with the Mayor to make dinner for him. Sora’s parents said thank you to Kairi for taking care for him as they walked out from the room.
“Oh well, Sora. I also brought your homework. It’ll be collected the day after tomorrow. I think we should do it tomorrow. I’ll invite Riku and Selphie to do it here, how is it?” Kairi asked as she took out Sora’s homework and left it at the desk.
“Sure, It’ll be good idea.” Sora agreed.
“Oh, It’s 5 PM already. I think I have to go home. I have to prepare the dinner. See you tomorrow, Sora! Anyway, don’t forget to eat and take your medicine to recover your health 100%!” Kairi said as she walked out from Sora’s room.
“Sure, Kairi. I’ll take a rest after eat my dinner and take my medicine!” Sora said with a smile as he stood up from his bed and grabbed her hand, “And umm, Kairi, thanks for everything once again. I’m sorry if I bother you today.”
“It’s okay, Sora. As long as you’re feeling better it’s enough for me!” Kairi said as she turned back her body facing Sora and kissed his cheek, “anyway. See you tomorrow and get better soon. I’ll come here again tomorrow!”
“Sure!” Sora replied as he smiled blushingly and waved his hand.
Sora sat on his chair and starred at the home works that Kairi had brought. He smiled and blushed once touched it.
“Well, maybe, I have to tell her as soon as possible.” Sora whispered to himself.
As Sora stood up from his chair, his mom came to his room and asked if he could have dinner downstairs, he nodded and he joined the dinner with his parents.
Chapter 6: School Days (Insert Date and Time : Friday, June 5th 2015, 12: 25 PM -- UTC + 7 Hrs)
The dinner time had been over, Sora’s mom was cleaning the dining room, while Sora took his cold medicine to help him recovered more better. After he had taken his medicine, he decided to help his father to repair the roof.
“Sora, you’ve just recovered, I think you shouldn’t do this today, you can help me tomorrow. You had better rest, you will have finals next week, right?” The dad suggested.
“Your dad is right Sora, you have finals next week. You have promised us and your friends that you’ll get great scores in the finals, right?” The mom agreed and teased Sora, “Besides, you don’t want your girlfriend is sad because of your bad scores, right, sonny?”
“Mom! She’s not my girlfriend! I mean, she hasn’t become my girlfriend at all…” Sora said as he blushed her face.
“So, our children has matured now!” the dad laughed and praised his son, “Well, now, son. Take a good rest.”
“Alright. Night, Mom. Night, Dad.” Sora said to his parents as he went upstairs.
“Night sweet heart.”
After Sora had brushed his teeth and washed his face, he immediately went back to his bed. He stared at his room ceiling. He kept thinking what Riku said this evening about Kairi. It’s the fact that Kairi also loved him.
“How should I say to her?” He whispered to himself as he tried to cover himself with blanket.
As he tried to cover himself with blanket, he looked at his pajamas that had been changed by Kairi this afternoon when he’s sick. He blushed every time he remembered that incident. But, thanks to that incident he knew that Kairi cared about him.
“Kairi, thanks. I’m sorry if I made you do this.” He said as he smiled, “Well, I think I have to tell you my feelings fast, right, Kairi?”
Sora had covered himself with blanket and tried to sleep. But he’s unable to sleep since he had too much sleep this afternoon. He tried to close his eyes, but didn’t work. He looked around his room, he looked at his cupboard and few furnitures that had little damage because of what he had done this afternoon. Thankfully Riku barely cleaned and repaired them when he was weak.
“Hmmh. Tomorrow I will also apologize to Riku…” Sora said as he let out his sigh.
Suddenly, he looked at his bed side. He thought about Kairi who had been sleeping after taking good care of him. As he thought about it, he put his hand as he had done before and closed his eyes and though Kairi’s hands grabbed his hand.
“See you tomorrow, Kairi.” He whispered as he closed his eyes and slept.
Kairi had changed her night gown and ready to sleep. She prepared her books for tomorrow lessons and her school uniform before she went to sleep. After she prepared her school things, she lied herself at her bed and covered herself with blanket. As she tried to sleep, she thought about Sora.
“How is he? Is he okay now?” She whispered, “Well, maybe I’ll try to go his house earlier before I go to school. I had better ask Riku tomorrow morning.”
She stared at her desk where she used to be hung her well-made wayfinder that used to be borrowed to Sora. She suddenly thought about afternoon incident, where she changed Sora’s clothes.
“Well, I think I should wake up earlier tomorrow!” She whispered once again with a blush at her face, “Good Night, Sora.”
The sun had risen. Kairi woke up at 4.30 AM, she brushed her teeth, took a bath and worn her school uniform. Before she left her home, she prepared breakfast for the Mayor and for her as well which she ate on the way to Riku’s home.
On the way to Riku’s home, she met Riku. It seemed Riku was heading towards Sora’s home.
“Riku, Good Morning!” Kairi said as she waved her hand and approached Riku.
“Oh, morning, Kairi. Heading to Sora’s? Riku replied as he yawned.
“Yeah, you too, right? I couldn’t stop worrying about him. I just hope he can go to school today. Finals is nearby.” Kairi said as she ate her breakfast fast and walked together with Riku toward Sora’s home.
“Yeah. Um Kairi, I think before you talk, you should finish your eating first.” Riku nodded as he suggested to Kairi to finish her breakfast.
“Uhm. I’m sorry. I was little bit rush since this morning, so that I end up eating my breakfast on the way to Sora’s!” Kairi replied as she kept eating her breakfast.
“Well, can’t be helped as Sora’s girlfriend… You must be worried about him and you had less sleep, Kairi?” Riku chuckled as he pointed Kairi’s baggy eyes.
“Riku! It’s not like that! He's still not my boyfriend yet...” Kairi replied it blushingly as she wiped her mouth after breakfast, “Yeah, I couldn’t sleep last night. I was able to sleep at 1 AM…”
“Aw, c’mon. Should I arrange meeting for you and Sora, so both of you can talk?” Riku teased.
“Riku… It’s okay… cut it out, It’s embarrassing..” Kairi said as her face was getting red.
“Hahaha. I was kidding. Anyway, I believe you and Sora will be fine. Someday you’ll be able to tell him. So he will.” Riku said as he cherished Kairi.
Kairi replied it with smile. Not long afterward they arrived at Sora’s. They knocked at the house. Suddenly, the door was opened and Sora stood in front of them.
“Kairi, Riku! Good Morning!” Sora greeted them happily.
“Morning, Sora. So, you have recovered 100%.” Riku greeted back, “and you wake up earlier.”
“Yup, thanks a lot Riku for yesterday. And I’m sorry if I hurt you yesterday…” Sora said as he apologized to Riku after yesterday incident.
“It’s okay. I’m okay.” Riku replied.
Sora stared at Kairi who remained silent.
“Kairi? Are you okay?” Sora asked blushingly.
“Uh, no, no I’m okay. Morning Sora. Are you okay? How’s your sleep last night? Kairi replied as she blush her face.
“I’m okay, thanks. I slept well last night!” Sora replied, “Kairi, thanks again. I’m sorry…”
“Ah! It’s okay, I don’t mind that! Pretend that incident was nothing, okay?” Kairi replied blushingly.
“Incident?” Sora asked curiously.
“Ah..” Kairi replied as her face getting red than before, “nothing, forget it, okay? Anyway, let’s go to school. It’s already 7.30 AM!”
“Umm… Okay…” Sora nodded.
The trio were heading for school. After they reached the school, they started to begin the first lesson. Sora stared at Kairi every time and noticed that she was sleepy during the lesson. He wanted to asked Riku who was sitting in front of him, but he couldn’t since in the middle of the lesson.
The first lesson till fourth lesson had been over, now they could have a break.
“Man, the home works are a lot as the finals are nearby…” Sora complained.
“Well, I think it’s good as exercise for finals. Besides, you have to study hard, Sora. Your grades were bad at mid terms.” Riku said.
“That’s true… Besides, I have promised to Kairi that I would get good grades in the finals right?” Sora said as he lied down his head on the table, “Say Riku, do you notice that Kairi is quite sleepy today?”
“Kairi? Well, she was studying till midnight, that’s why she was sleepy.” Riku said lie to Sora.
“I see. Well, she’s sleeping now… I think I’ll buy her coffee. Wanna come along, Riku?” Sora said as he stood up.
“Oh no, I and Selphie need to study for finals. Anyway, please buy me and Selphie milks instead.” Riku replied as he stood up and walked to Selphie.
“Okay. I’ll be back.”
Sora went to canteen and bought 2 cups of Coffee and 2 cups of milks, he brought them back to the class and gave the milks to Selphie and Riku who were studying. He approached Kairi, who was sleeping as he tried to wake her up.
“Kairi?” Sora touched her arms and suddenly Kairi awoke.
“Um, Sora?” Kairi replied.
“You looked sleepy since the first period. Here’s coffee for you.” Sora said as he gave her a glass of coffee.
“thank you, Sora.” Kairi replied as she drank it a little.
Sora stared at Kairi while Kairi was drinking her coffee, every time Sora stared her, Kairi started to blush. Riku and Selphie noticed them and chuckled.
“So, what’s going on yesterday?” Selphie asked.
Riku started to tell Selphie what happened yesterday. Selphie was shocked and chuckled once again.
“Woah, Kairi was brave!” Selphie said.
“Indeed. I still can’t believe it.” Riku replied, “Anyway, I’ll back to my desk. The next period is about to begin.”
The next period was begun and all the students studied well as their preparation for finals. Until the last period was over, some of the student went to canteen to have lunch, some of them went home and did the homeworks. Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Selphie still remained at class.
“Hey, shall we eat for our lunch?” Riku asked.
“Sure, it’ll be good idea. I’m starving.” Kairi replied.
“I think I’ll pass guys, I have promised with several friends from other class to have lunch together.” Selphie said as he walked out from the class.
As Selphie walked out from the class, Sora, Riku, and Kairi were heading out to canteen and bought lunch boxes.
“Man… 8 subjects today, 4 subjects have home works. Man, I haven’t done yesterday home works.” Sora complained as he ate his lunch.
“Sora, you were sick yesterday, It’s okay if you couldn’t work for it yesterday.” Kairi replied, “Hey, Sora, do you bring the home works that I brought to you yesterday?”
“Uhm. Yes. Why?” Sora asked.
“How about we do it together today?” Kairi asked.
Sora was blushing when hearing about doing the home works together with Kairi today. He thought that it’ll be his chance to confess her.
“Sure, It’ll be great…” Sora replied blushingly.
“Great! We’ll do it at with Riku and Selphie today!”
Suddenly Sora felt his heart sinking. He felt that his chance to confess was failed.
“Sora, is that something?” Kairi asked as she noticed Sora remained silent.
“Um, nothing! You can come along, Riku?” Sora said as he asked Riku.
“Um yeah. I can.” Riku replied as he nodded.
“Great. How about we do it at Riku’s home this time?” Kairi asked.
“Sure, it’s good idea.” Sora agreed.
“Sure, my house is free today.” Riku also agreed.
As they had finished their lunch, Selphie came to the canteen and met them. Kairi told Selphie about today’s plan. Selphie agreed with it and they went to Riku’s home. On the way to Riku’s home, Riku noticed that Sora had been down since the lunch.
“Sora, I’m sorry if you miss your opportunity.” Riku said as he cheered him on.
“It’s okay, Riku. Maybe today is not the right time. Anyway, let’s concentrate to our study first.” Sora said as he forced his smile.
Riku realized that Sora couldn’t wait to confess his feelings to Kairi. Deep inside his mind, Riku thought the way to help his friend to tell his feelings to the one he loved.
Chapter 7: Bad Timing (Insert Date and Time : Monday, June 8th 2015, 06: 00 PM -- UTC + 7 Hrs)
Kairi and Selphie was walking forward than Sora and Riku on the way to Riku’s home. Kairi looked back as she noticed Riku was talking something to Sora. She didn’t have any idea what they’re talking about.
“Is there something?” Selphie asked as she noticed Kairi, “Him, again?”
“No, it’s okay. Um. Kinda. I wonder what they’re talking about…” Kairi replied.
“Well, maybe you should ask them later!” Selphie suggested and asked, “Anyway, Kairi, is it okay if I and Riku study with you? I mean, I don’t mean to be rude, maybe you should have quality time today with Sora. Me and Riku can do our home works later.”
“Ah, It’s okay, Selphie. I can discuss with him later. Moreover, the home works are more important. More people will be merrier, right? Kairi shook her head.
Selphie replied Kairi with smiled on her face. But she was sure that Kairi really needed time with Sora.
“Sora, hurry up!” Kairi turned her body back and waved for Sora.
“Oh, okay, I’m coming!” Sora replied as he ran toward Kairi.
Sora walked together with Kairi in front line, while Selphie and Riku was walking behind them.
“Riku, I really need to discuss something to you. It’s about Sora and Kairi.” Selphie said with tiny voice. She was aware in case Sora and Kairi would have listened their discussion.
“Me too, Selphie.” Riku replied, “Sora was down earlier, he thought that today he would have chance to talk with her, eye to eye.”
“So did Kairi. She’s just not honest to herself. I believe she did want to have quality time with Sora. I’d asked her if she wanted to be alone with Sora, She just shook her head. I really didn’t know why. Yesterday she really wanted to talk with him, right?”
“True, maybe she’s still thinking about yesterday incident, you know, clothes changing.”
“ah, maybe, you’re right, Riku. She’s still shy.”
“Sora was also shy when I told him about that, he really wanted to say his apologize about the incident and he wanted to tell her about his feelings.”
“I see. Sora is really impatient, isn’t he?”
“Well, that’s Sora for you. He can’t wait for love.”
“Maybe, we should do something to help them? Make both of them talk each other alone?”
“Well, it’s good idea. How about if we should make they meet when study for finals?”
“It’s good idea, Riku. And we..”
As Selphie wanted to finish her sentences, Kairi called them to walk faster. Riku and Selphie walked faster until they arrived at Riku’s home. As they entered Riku’s home, they greeted Riku’s mom and they walked into Riku’s room.
“Riku, I haven’t been here for a year, your room is always neat.” Kairi said as she looked around Riku’s room.
“Thanks! To be honest, my mom can’t stand if my room is a mess.” Riku replied.
“Hey, look at this, I find my comic book which I gave it to Riku!” Sora said as he picked up a comic at Riku’s desk and read the comic.
“Sora! We’re here to do home works! Not reading a comic book!” Kairi said as she reprimanded Sora.
“Ah, okay, I’m sorry.” Sora apologized as he put back the comic to the shelf.
Finally, Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Selphie did they home works. They decided to do 3 home works today. They are math, foreign language, and art.
“Damn, I’m really suck at math!” Sora said as he placed his head at top of his math book.
“Sora, you’re really suck at all the subjects, except foreign language and physics.” Riku, Selphie, and Kairi said together which made Sora was shy.
“Um… Kairi… Can you help me with this? I have tried to solve it, but it doesn’t seem right.” Sora asked Kairi to teach him desperately.
“Okay. First, you can use this formula, then input them to X and Y, you can calculate next like this. You’ll find the answer.” Kairi let out her sigh and taught Sora.
Sora tried what Kairi had taught to him. At first he found some difficulties, but Kairi helped him to solve it. At last, Sora could do it well.
“I did it. Thanks Kairi! You’re really good at math.” Sora praised her as he touched both of Kairi’s hands, which made Kairi started to blush.
“Kairi is honor student, Sora… She’s smart, of course.” Riku and Selphie said it deep inside their hearts.
“Never mind, let’s finish it!” Kairi said blushingly as she let go off her hands which made Sora confused.
Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Selphie did their home works seriously. Sometimes there were lot of discussions for the hard questions, there were lot of jokes so that they didn’t stress. Sora played jokes with Riku, and Riku joked Sora as well. So did Selphie. Selphie joked Kairi, but Kairi only joked a little since she was serious on her home works. After they had done with the math, the next one was the art. The group was split by 2. Riku with Sora, Kairi with Selphie. As they’re splitting the groups, Riku’s mom entered the room and served them with tea and cookies. They thanked to Riku’s mom for the tea and cookies.
“Oh, wait. We can change our group, right?” Selphie suggested, “How about if I with Riku? Sora, you can do with Kairi. I want to draw Riku, anyway. I haven’t drawn him before, right, Riku?”
“ah, yes. That’s true. I haven’t drawn Selphie as well. Kairi, Change the place with me.” Riku agreed as he stood up and changed his place with Kairi.
Sora and Kairi were remained silent. After Riku and Kairi changed the place, Sora and Kairi stared eye to eye. Both of them started to blush.
“Um.. Kairi, I’m sorry if my drawing is bad…” Sora said blushingly to her.
“What are you talking about? I don’t take that seriously. Let’s begin, okay?” Kairi replied him.
“SELPHIE!! What are you doing with my face!! It’s like Sora!!” Riku said to Selphie as he checked on Selphie’s drawing.
“Hey, I’ve tried my best! Let me see yours!” Selphie said as she took Riku’s drawing, “What is this?! It’s not me!! I’m not fat like this!!”
Riku and Selphie continued their argued each other, while Sora and Kairi kept drawing each other. But, Riku and Selphie argue distracted them.
“Anyway, what are you drawing Selphie?” Sora asked as he took Selphie’s drawing.
As Sora watched the drawing, he was laughing out loud with the drawing, it’s definitely similar to Sora’s.
“Selphie, you’re good at drawing!! Hahaha!! Man, I can’t stop laughing!” Sora said as he kept laughing out loud.
“Hey, Sora! Cut it out! How about yourself, huh?” Riku said as he took Sora’s drawing book.
Riku looked at Sora’s drawing, in the end Riku was also laughing out loud.
“Sora, Who are you drawing? Hahahaha!!”
“Let me see.” Selphie said as she took the drawing book and started to laugh, “Muahahaha!! I can’t stand looking for this picture, man, it’s too funny, Kairi, see this!!”
“Hey, give it back!” Sora said as he tried to take back his drawing book.
Selphie passed the drawing book to Kairi. Kairi looked at Sora’s drawing, It’s chibi Kairi. and Kairi ended up laughing out loud at Sora’s drawing.
“Sora, What are you doing? It’s too funny!!” Kairi said as she laughed so hard until she shed her tears, “anyway, Sora! Why don’t you draw well? You know we aren’t allowed to draw chibi!”
“Sorry, Kairi. I just can’t stand drawing it.” Sora replied as he received his drawing book back, “Kairi, may I see your drawing?”
“Um, I’ll show you later, Sora.” Kairi said as she refused to show her drawing to Sora, “Anyway, don’t move Sora! I can’t draw you well!”
“Okay, yes, ma’am!” Sora said as he tried to give good pose for Kairi, unfortunately, Sora hit a cup of tea by his elbow inadvertently. The tea fell from the table and splashed at Kairi’s uniform and her feet. Kairi let out her little scream because of the heat of the tea which made Riku and Selphie were shocked.
“Kairi, I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to… Uh. I’ll clean your feet.” Sora said his apologizes immediately as he tried to wipe Kairi’s wet feet with his handkerchief.
“Sora, concentrate! You’re just playing around!” Kairi said as she mad at Sora, “Man, I guess I’ll go home if you’re playing around like this!”
“Kairi, you don’t have to be rude at Sora… He didn’t mean to do that.” Selphie tried to make Kairi calm as she lent her short and T-shirt to Kairi,
“Here, Kairi, you can use my clothes first. Actually I bring it for the club activity, but it seems you need it right now.”
“Thanks. I’ll borrow it for a while.” Kairi said as she received the clothes.
“Oh, anyway, you can change your clothes at the bathroom there, Kairi.” Riku suggested as he pointed to his bathroom.
“Oh sure, Riku. Thanks. I’ll use your bathroom for a while.” Kairi thanked to Riku as she brought her bag to the bathroom and Selphie followed her.
“Kairi… listen. you know, You don’t have to be rude at Sora. He didn’t mean that. Anyway, here are the clothes. Please try it. I hope it fits you well.”
Selphie said to Kairi as she lent her clothes to Kairi, “Um, anyway, are you okay? You seem emotional today, besides, your face is pale. You’re not flu, are you?”
“No, I’m not flu. And anyway, it suits me well. Thanks.” Kairi thanked to Selphie as she looked at her reflection of her face at the mirror, “umm. You’re right, my face is kinda pale. I think I should go home now and rest. Maybe I’m just too tired today.”
Kairi had done changing her clothes. She cleaned up her books and stationery as she prepared herself to go home.
“Umm. Kairi will go home first. It seems she’s tired today. I think we should continue tomorrow. The deadline is next week right? We still have 3 days more. Besides, tomorrow will be holiday, I think we still have plenty of time to finish it tomorrow.” Selphie explained to the boys, “How about we do it here again tomorrow?”
“Sure, it’ll be good idea.” Riku nodded as he agreed with Selphie, “Kairi, Selphie was right. You should rest today. We can finish it tomorrow.”
“Um. Kairi, I’m sorry once again. Can I accompany you till you reach your home?” Sora suggested to Kairi.
“No, thanks, Sora. I can go home with Selphie. See you tomorrow.” Kairi said cold.
“Well, guys, see you tomorrow.” Selphie said goodbye to the boys as she and Kairi left the room.
“I wonder what’s going on with her…I mean, I didn’t mean to make her mad. Man, it’s my fault because I was playing around too much.” Sora said sad.
“I don’t know. Maybe she’s just too tired. Anyway, You have finished re-drawing, right?” Riku asked and he noticed Kairi’s drawing book was left at the room, “It seems she has done it as well. Wanna see?”
“Yes, I have done it.” Sora said as he looked at Kairi’s drawing and smiled, “Well, she always did a great job.”
“Indeed. You also have done it well, Sora. Although you’re drawing without see her face.” Riku praised as he looked at Sora’s good drawing.
Chapter 8: Plan (Insert Date and Time : Monday June 8th 2015, 06: 00 PM -- UTC + 7 Hrs) *There is medical content. Please see the last part of the chapter.*
Kairi reached at her home and Selphie left her as she went back to her home. Kairi thanked to Selphie who had accompanied her till her home and borrowed the clothes to her. As Kairi entered her room, she decided to take a bath before she went to sleep. Thankfully, today was Kairi’s free day. The Mayor had made dinner for her, which he had prepared at the table before he left. Kairi was relieved that today she could rest well.
Kairi headed to her bathroom and put off Selphie’s clothes and her undergarments. As she put off her undergarments, she let out her sigh as she saw blood spot at her undergarment.
“Hmh. Well, PMS right before the finals. It’s great.” Kairi whispered to herself as she put the clothes and her undergarments at the basket and started to take a bath.
After she took a bath, she put on her clothes and washed Selphie’s clothes, her uniform, and her undergarments. When she washed her uniform, a handkerchief fell from her skirt pocket. She realized it’s Sora’s handkerchief which she held it for a day.
“Kairi, he didn’t mean to do that…” Namine appeared as she looked Kairi was staring at the handkerchief, “And um… I know the PMS is making you uncomfortable. But at least, you can be nice at him, although he’s just playing around.”
“I know. The first day of PMS is really annoying me.” Kairi said as she held the pain of her PMS, “Uhh. Now I feel that I can’t speak to Sora because of today..”
“Kairi, no. you should talk with him. You like him, right? At least say something to him, something fun for example.” Namine Suggested.
“Uh, It’ll be hard, Namine… Besides, I really don’t like when study meets play.” Kairi said grumpily.
“Well, although he’s just playing around, it didn’t mean he did too much at you. He just wanted to make you relax, that’s all. Why don’t you try to be not too serious? Besides, it’s not too bad if you have fun for a while. It’ll relieve your stress.”
“But, Namine, I can’t…”
“Kairi, why don’t you try first? You don’t know if you don’t try.”
“I don’t know, Namine, well. Let me finish the laundry and I have to rest. I’m tired.” Kairi said old as she continued to wash the clothes.
Namine sighed, she’s quite disappointed with Kairi who was still in bad mood. Deep inside her heart, she knew that she’s suffering because of her PMS.
“Maybe, I’ll try to talk with Roxas…” Namine whispered to herself as he left Kairi alone at her room.
Sora reached at home and lied at his bed immediately. He put his hand on his forehead and let out his sigh.
“Bad timing, huh?” Roxas appeared as he asked Sora.
“What do you want?” Sora asked cold.
“To be honest, I feel pity at you. You’re close. Little bit more you would able to tell your feeling to her. Sadly, she chose study.” Roxas said as he crossed his arms.
“shut up, you know nothing, Roxas!” Sora said as he unbutton his school uniform.
“Or maybe, the reason why she chose study… It’s because the incident when you’re sick..”
“Oh, shut up! Shut up. I don’t want hear that.”
“Here it goes again, hot tempered Sora.”
“You want to pick a fight, huh, Roxas? If you want to, I can deal with you. Remember, I’m you and you are I.” Sora said as he stood up from his bed and equipped his keyblade.
“Whoa, slow down. I don’t have mean to fight with you. It’s useless, I think.” Roxas said as he declined Sora’s challenge. “To be honest, why don’t you listen to me first?”
“No need to listen anything from you.”
“Huh. C’mon Sora, listen to me first. You want to express your feeling to her, right? No need to be rush! The more you’re rush, the more she’ll keep a distance with you!” Roxas explained, “I’ll help you!”
Sora remained silent. He thought if Kairi would have kept a distance with him. Of course he didn’t want that happened.
“Help, huh? You can keep your offer for later. I don’t think I need your help now.” Sora said cold as he unequipped his Keyblade and lied at his bed,
“I’m tired talking. Let me sleep! Good Night!”
Roxas remained silent, he let out his sigh. He couldn’t believe that Sora would be angry like that.
“Well, maybe if Kairi have slept, I guess I’ll try to talk with Namine.” Roxas whispered as he left Sora alone at his room.
Namine walked out from Kairi’s home to meet Riku at Riku’s Home, on her way, she met Roxas who was walking to Riku’s home as well.
“Roxas? What are you doing here?” Namine asked.
“Namine? I’m going to Riku’s home. I have to discuss something with him about Sora. And you?” Roxas explained as he asked back to Namine.
“Me too, I’m about going to Riku’s home. Well. Kairi’s in her bad mood today. She’s got her PMS.” Namine explained.
“I see. That’s why she’s kinda emotional today. Sora was not good as well today. He’s sad and mad today.” Roxas explained, “We have to do something with them.”
“you’re right.” Namine agreed.
After they reached Riku’s home, they met Riku who was cleaning up his room before he went to sleep. Riku was quite shocked with their presence. Namine and Roxas explained what happened today with Sora and Kairi. Somehow Riku finally understood with the situation. Riku explained to them that he actually had plan to help Sora and Kairi. They discussed the plan until midnight. After they had done discussing, Namine and Roxas were disappeared and went back to each original bodies.
At the next afternoon, Selphie came to Riku’s home early before Sora and Kairi arrived, Riku explained the plan that Namine and Roxas had been planned. Selphie agreed to help them and today they decided to do the plan.
Sora arrived at Riku’s home, he met Riku who opened the door, as he walked in, Kairi arrived as well.
“Good afternoon, Kairi.” Sora greeted.
“Oh, afternoon, Sora.” Kairi greeted back as she walked in to Riku’s home together with Sora, “Where’s Selphie?”
“She’s going to school for a while, to take her club key.” Riku explained, “Well, I think we should wait for her at my room.”
“sure.” Kairi agreed.
Sora and Riku saw Kairi’s face. Her face was pale. They’re started to worry about her.
“Kairi, are you alright? You seem unhealthy today.” Riku asked.
“No, I’m fine.” Kairi shook her head as she walked to Riku’s room and noticed Riku was about to leave his home, “Um, Riku, where are you going?”
“Uh, yes, I have to go to stationery store, I ran out of pens and notebooks.” Riku explained as he left the home, “anyway, Sora, Kairi, would you mind taking care my home for a while? I’ll be back. Selphie should be here as soon as possible. You two can use my room first for doing home works.”
“So, both of you, take your time.” Riku whispered.
Sora and Kairi nodded as they started to blush. They wanted to complain at Riku, but Riku was running fast leaving his home. They left with no other choice, waiting for Riku and Selphie together at Riku’s.
Sora and Kairi sat face to face each other. Kairi didn’t say a single word to Sora, she was busy preparing her home works, while Sora was just staring at the table.
“Um Kairi…” Sora started to speak, “your feet, is it okay now?”
“Yeah.” Kairi replied as she checked at her feet, “I used a balm last night, now it feels better.”
“Glad to hear that.” Sora said as he relieved with Kairi’s condition, “Look, I’m sorry for yesterday. I didn’t mean to…”
“It’s okay, don’t remind me with that again.” Kairi said as she interrupted Sora.
“Okay. You are not mad at me again, are you?” Sora nodded as he asked Kairi.
“Nope. How’s your homework after I went home? Were you able to finish it?” Kairi asked.
“Yes, Although I didn’t see your face. I used my imagination to draw you. Why don’t you take a look?” Sora said as he gave his drawing book.
Kairi smiled as she saw Sora’s drawing. She never thought that Sora was also good at drawing.
“here, Kairi.” Sora said as he gave a pack of cookies to Kairi, “I baked it since this morning for you. I know that I’m still not good at cooking things, but I hope you like it.”
Kairi opened the pack of the cookies that Sora had gave to her, she tasted it, and she liked it.
“Well, although it’s burn for a little, it’s still good, thanks.” Kairi said as she kept eating the cookies.
“You’re welcome.” Sora replied as he blushed.
Suddenly the room remained silent. Kairi kept eating the cookies, until she left stain at her face which made Sora notice her face. Sora was blushing at her, which made Kairi realize that there’s something at her face. She used tissue at the table and wiped it fast.
“Kairi. There is something that I want to tell you.” Sora said as he swallowed his saliva.
“what?” Kairi asked curiously as she stared at blushing face Sora.
*PMS : acronym of Premenstrual syndrome refers to a varied collection of physical and emotional symptoms during part of a woman's menstrual cycle. (src : Wikipedia)
Chapter 9: Confession and Kiss (Insert Date and Time : Monday June 8th 2015, 06: 00 PM -- UTC + 7 Hrs)
Sora remained silent as made Kairi more curious at him. In her heart she was whispering what Sora wanted to talk, wanted to discuss, wanted to say to her.
“To be honest, I have to tell you sooner, but It seems I don’t have any courage to say it…” Sora said blushingly.
“what do you want to say? Home works?” Kairi asked.
“No, not that… Actually… I…” Sora said shyly.
“If it’s not homework, then What?” Kairi asked curiously.
Sora let out his sigh and started to say something at her, “Actually, I.. I like you, Kairi! I love you, Kairi!”
Kairi remained silent and shocked after hearing Sora’s confession to her. She couldn’t say anything except blushing and her heart beat fast.
“Since… when…?” Kairi asked shyly.
“to be honest, since… 3 years ago. When we’re 14.” Sora admitted, “Since we made pictures of each other at the secret place… I’d been liking you since then. I felt that I couldn’t go away without you.”
“don’t be joking again Sora…” Kairi said as she smiled a little.
“No, Kairi. I’m not joking this time. This time is serious. I do really like you. I do love you.” Sora admitted with serious face.
Kairi remained silent once again. She couldn’t say nothing and put her right hand at her chest. She could feel her heart beat fast.
“Sora, are you serious? I mean… give me time to think…” Kairi said as she moved back from the table.
Sora stood up as he walked and sat beside Kairi.
“Yes, Kairi. I’m serious with you. I can do this for you right now. I’ll prove it that I love you, seriously. No jokes.” Sora touched Kairi’s red cheek as he leant down his head and his lips almost touched Kairi’s lips.
“Sora, wait… Riku and Selphie are maybe heading back…” Kairi said as she tried to stop Sora. It’s too late. Sora gave a kiss to her as a prove that
Sora loved her. He proved Kairi that he’s no joking, his love for her was serious. Kairi let out her moan, as she opened her eyes wide. When she opened her eyes widely, she was surprised that Riku and Selphie stood in front of the opened room with shock face.
“Kairi...? Sora..?” Riku and Selphie asked together as they jaws almost dropped to the floor.
Kairi broke the kiss as she push Sora and made Sora fell. She couldn’t hide her blushing face, she stood up immediately, took her bag and left the room.
“I’m sorry, Riku! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I shouldn’t do this at your home! I’m sorry!” Kairi apologized quickly as she walked out from Riku’s home and covered her shy face.
“Kairi, wait!” Riku said as he tried to chase Kairi.
“Riku, I’ll follow her. You stay here with Sora.” Selphie said as she followed Kairi, “Kairi, wait!”
Sora remained silent and sat at the floor. Riku approached him as he asked his best friend.
“Sora, I’m sorry. It’s our fault to embark in. Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m okay.” Sora replied as he put his right hand at his lips after kissing.
“Once again, I’m sorry If we saw that. What’s going on? Did you confess her?” Riku asked as he touched Sora’s shoulder.
“Yes. I have confessed her. I told her my true feelings, Riku.” Sora explained.
“And then?” Riku asked.
“She didn’t reply it. She’s doubt with my confession. She asked me time to think about it. And…” Sora explained.
Riku couldn’t say nothing except he tried to cheer his friend.
“Anyway, should we do our home works? I really need to discuss about the homeworks.” Sora asked as he took his home works.
“Sora, are you sure it’s alright without Kairi?” Riku asked.
“It’s okay, let her think clear for a while. Besides, it’s my fault to kiss her at first place without thinking.” Sora said as he opened his homeworks and started to do his homeworks.
Selphie ran to Kairi as she caught up Kairi while Kairi was running away.
“Kairi, are you okay? I mean, Sora…” Selphie asked.
“It’s okay, Selphie. Anyway, can you leave me alone for a while? I need time to be alone right now. You can get back to Riku’s home. I’ll do my
homework by myself. So don’t worry about me.” Kairi suggested as she kept running away.
Selphie headed back to Riku’s home and explained what happened to Kairi. Riku and Roxas who appeared in front of Riku, Sora, and Selphie couldn’t say nothing except let out his sigh.
“Sora, listen. To be honest, I, Selphie, Namine, and Roxas thought about it last night. It’s our plan to make both of you talk each other. We want to help you, since both of you are liking each other. I, Selphie, Roxas, and Namine didn’t go anywhere when you and Kairi were in the room. We listened everything. I appreciated what you did to Kairi, but… we didn’t think that you would do that.” Riku explained.
“I see. Thank you guys for helping us, but it’s still my fault I kissed her. It’s just. I wanted to. I wanted kiss her and proved that I loved her. That’s all.” Sora said as his face turned to sad, “anyway, just give Kairi little time to think, I think she’s still surprised with what I did earlier.”
Riku and Selphie nodded as they started to do their homework and Roxas somehow helped Sora to do his homework.
Kairi reached her home and locked herself in her room. She lied her head at her desk as her face was still blushing because of that incident. Sometimes she touched her lips which reminded her with Sora’s kiss.
“Kairi, are you okay?” Namine appeared as she asked Kairi.
“I’m not okay, Namine..” Kairi replied.
“Why? Are you still doubting about Sora’s confession earlier?”
“No, I’m not doubting. I’m just surprised. I can’t say anything to him.”
“If you’re no doubt, why? You liked and loved him too, right?”
“Indeed, but… I still didn’t have courage to say to him.” Kairi explained as she tried to refresh her mind with doing her homework, “Namine? Can you give me little private time? I’ll do my homework first, about that, let’s talk later.”
“Sure, I’ll be waiting. You can do your homeworks first.” Namine agreed.
Somehow, Kairi could finish her homeworks, she could feel that her pain because of PMS stroked again. Thankfully she could hold the pain. She refreshed her mind by taking a shower for a while and ate her dinner which had been prepared. After that, she went back to her room and sat at her desk. She kept thinking about Sora’s confession earlier and about the kiss that they did. She looked at the wayfinder that she was made for Sora as good luck charm for his journey as She grabbed it tightly and let out her sigh.
“Namine… what should I do?” Kairi asked to Namine for suggestion.
“Kairi, as you could see earlier, He did love you. He proved it to you. Maybe you should tell your feelings to him.” Namine suggested.
“I know.. but It’s hard to say…”
“Kairi, you’re brave girl. I believe it. You can’t hold this any longer. You have to tell him.”
“Namine, I pushed him hard after we kissed. I’m scared if he hates me now.” Kairi said as she started to cry.
“No, Kairi. Don’t think that. I believe he doesn’t think that. Sora is good guy. I’m sure, right now he’s waiting for your reply.”
Kairi didn’t say nothing except crying.
“Kairi, don’t cry.”
“Namine, I’m just scared girl. Maybe I am not scared to heartless or nobody, but. I’m just scared if I can’t tell him my true feelings.”
Namine tried to cheer Kairi, as she tried to give Kairi suggestion how Kairi could say her feelings to Sora.
“I know. I hear that your finals are coming up. I think you should try to ask Sora to study together. Just the two of you. You don’t need to be scared. You have to try it.”
“Study together? Sounds great. Well, I guess, I’ll try to talk with him tomorrow.”
“Sure, I believe you can, Kairi!”
Kairi nodded as she believed that she could do something to tell her feelings to Sora, as her reply to Sora’s confession to her.
Chapter 10: Kairi's Answer (Insert Date and Time : Wednesday June 10th 2015, 11: 00 AM -- UTC + 7 Hrs)
Sora had done with working his homeworks, thanks to Riku and Selphie who helped him today. He went home and lied his on his bed after he entered his room and locked it. His mind was full of that incident. Incident when he kissed Kairi without thinking anything. He let off his T-Shirt and exposed his bare chest. He placed his right hand cover his mouth as he thought the moment when she went away from his sight after the kiss.
“Damn, why I did that without thinking…” Sora whispered to himself.
“Sora?” Roxas appeared and asked him concern.
“What?” Sora asked back.
“I know that I’m not in the position to say this but… it’s out of my expectation…” Roxas explained.
“Yeah, I know you would say that. I think it’s my stubbornness to kiss her, I just impatient to kiss her. Again, It’s my fault.”
“I can say nothing, Sora. Maybe you should rest today, Sora. You had hard times these days.” Roxas suggested.
“You’re right.” Sora agreed as he drove to sleep.
At the next morning, Sora woke up as usual, 6.30 AM. He took a bath and wore his school uniform. After he had done all of his preparation to school, he ate his breakfast. At 7.15 AM, Riku and Kairi arrived at his home as usual. But today, Sora didn’t talk anything to Kairi except good morning to Kairi and remained silent. The trio went to school together and had their school activity. When the break time came, Kairi invited her friends to the canteen to eat their lunch together.
“Sora, Riku, how about we eat at the canteen?” Kairi asked.
“Sounds cool. How about Selphie?” Riku asked.
“She brings her own lunch, so she eats her lunch here. She wants to eat her lunch and will remain her studying.” Kairi explained and turned ask to Sora, “Sora, you will eat with us, right?”
Sora remained silent, he shook his head refused Kairi’s invitation and headed to toilet.
“Sora?” Kairi asked, “what happened to him Riku?”
“I really don’t know. He just kept silent since this morning.” Riku raised his shoulders, “I think we can go first, before the canteen is crowded.”
Kairi nodded agree, Riku and Kairi went to canteen together and bought their lunch.
“Maybe he still thought about yesterday?” Kairi asked her deep inside her heart, “how should I say to him?”
“Kairi?” Riku asked as he starred at Kairi who’s in blank mode.
“Oh, there is nothing, Riku. Hey, let’s finish the lunch. We have to study again.” Kairi said.
“Are you thinking about Sora?” Riku asked.
“Yes, it’s my concern too. He’s not like usual. He’s keeping his mouth shut.” Kairi explained, “I wonder if he’s mad at me because I push him hard yesterday…”
“I can’t say anything, Kairi. Maybe we should ask him after school.” Riku suggested as he finished his lunch.
“You’re right, Riku.” Kairi nodded agree.
Riku and Kairi headed back to class, on the way to the class, they met Sora who had just return from the toilet. Sora didn’t say nothing, he threw his gaze from Kairi and sat at his desk which made Kairi was more worried at him.
After school, Sora went home alone, he left Riku, Kairi, and Selphie at class. Riku and Selphie started to worry as well about Sora. Riku, Selphie, and Kairi decided to go his home after the dinner, but in the end, they only met Sora’s mom. Sora’s mom told them that Sora had slept earlier, she also didn’t know the reason why Sora slept so early than usual.
At the next morning, 2 days before the finals, Sora kept silent to his friends, he just said words that necessary to say, not more, not less. Riku and Kairi were more worried about him, especially Kairi. She kept thinking if Sora had been mad at her. She definitely needed to talk with him personal. When the break time, Sora refused to have lunch with his friends, he chose to spend his break time at library and studied than had lunch, which he could have it once he went home. Kairi ran to him and tried to stop him.
“Sora, wait.” Kairi said as she grabbed his shirt from behind and placed her head at his back, “I don’t know what’s going on with you. But, I can’t see you like this. It’s not like you. I need to talk with you personal, in case we have some problems. Let’s settle this.”
“Okay. When and where?” Sora asked as he turned his head back.
“After school at my house. Just the two of us.” Kairi said.
“Sure.” Sora agreed as he left Kairi alone.
Kairi told Riku and Selphie what she said to Sora. Riku and Selphie agreed with what she would do, since they knew Sora was strange after the kiss incident. Riku and Selphie decided to leave the school without them.
After school, Sora and Kairi went to Kairi’s home together. As they reached Kairi’s home, they entered the room and sat side by side. Sora remained silent as Kairi started to ask him why he kept silent for 2 days at his friends, especially to Kairi.
“Sora? I don’t know where I should begin, but. If I really made you mad, please forgive me.” Kairi expressed her apologize as she started to explain something to Sora, “Look. About the confession and kiss you have done back then. I’ve been thinking of it.”
“Just. Forget about it. It’s my fault to begin with.” Sora started to speak.
“No, wait. Please listen.” Kairi said as she placed one of her hand at her chest, “I just want to say thank you for that words. Thank you that you’ve finally expressed your feelings toward me. Now I know what’s in your heart.”
“No problem.” Sora said.
“Listen. To be honest, I was happy that you said that. I was happy that I would be loved. And you know, what you had done… it’s not your fault.” Kairi explained as she shed tears.
“What do you mean? Hey Kairi..” Sora asked back as he stared Kairi.
“I mean. I didn’t mind at all if you kissed me back then… back then, I was just shy. I was not ready for that one. Even the worse one, I was unable to tell you my feelings. So, to be honest, it’s my fault, Sora.” Kairi explained.
“Hey, hey. I was the one who impatient that day…” Sora said as he picked up tissue at the table to wipe Kairi’s tears.
“No, I know now that you love me. I’m the worst one here. I push you away back then and ran away. In the end, you didn’t talk to me, Riku, and Selphie since yesterday. It’s my fault here. I’m the one who make you like this.”
“Kairi, hey. Listen. I also thought that silent was better way to forget about that. I pretended that incident was never happening. That’s why I kept silent. I just want to forget as well, I’m just worried if it will make you more hate me, that’s all.”
“No. Sora. I didn’t hate you because of that, I just hate myself when I doubted your confession to me, and you know, the moment when you keep quiet all the time, it’s hurting me.”
“Kairi… you don’t need to be rush about that, you can take easy on it… I can give you time to consider it…”
“No, Sora, I think there’s no time, I guess I have to say it. Right now. I don’t want make you wait again for a long time.” Kairi said as she got near to Sora, “Here’s my answer for you.”
Kairi placed her hands at Sora’s chest as she kissed him. Kairi showed to Sora that she also liked him, loved him, and she hurt if he looked away from her. She broke the kiss and started to confess to him.
“Sora, I liked you too. I loved you too. The same as you said back then. It’s not jokes, it’s serious. I can’t stay away from you and I’m happy that you said that you loved me back then. Thank you for loving me.”
“Kairi…” Sora said as he was blushing.
Sora hugged and kissed Kairi passionately which made Kairi shed her tears once again, He knew that Kairi loved him and so Kairi did. 3 years that they had spent to know each other finally reached the climax. They proved each other that they loved each other. As Sora and Kairi were kissing, Roxas and Namine appeared behind them, they stared at Sora and Kairi who were happy each other and they gave smiled at them.
As Sora and Kairi broke the kiss, they noticed Roxas and Namine appeared behind them.
“Roxas, Namine!” Kairi said.
“Congratulations, both of you! We’re happy with you.” Namine congratulated them.
“thanks, Namine” Kairi said, “Thanks for everything.”
“you’re welcome.” Namine replied smile.
“Congrats, Sora.” Roxas congratulated them as well.
“Roxas, thank you. I’m sorry if I didn’t listen to you back then.” Sora said and apologized to Roxas.
“Hey, no problem, man. Please be good each other, you two.” Roxas said as he disappeared and joined once again with Sora.
“Kairi, good luck for your relationship, wish you long lasting.” Namine said as she disappeared and joined once again with Kairi.
Sora and Kairi starred each other, smiles were drawn at their faces.
“From now on, we’ll always be together, right? After the finals, let’s have a date, okay?” Sora asked Kairi for date.
“It’ll be good idea. We can go anywhere we want to. I’ll help you during finals. Let’s study together. Remember your promise back then, okay?” Kairi agreed as she held Sora’s hand.
“Yes, of course. Let’s do our best together.” Sora replied as he kissed Kairi’s forehead.
Chapter 11: Study Time (Insert Date and Time : Wednesday June 10th 2015, 11: 00 AM -- UTC + 7 Hrs)
At the next day which was holiday, Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Selphie decided to study at Sora’s home. A day before, Sora had called all his friends to study at his home, since his mom wanted to make a cake that would be shared to his friends. Sora woke up earlier and he helped cleaning his home with his parents, after that he decided to pick up Kairi at her home after he had done cleaning.
“I’ll go pick up Kairi. I’ll be back.” Sora said as he left his home.
“Sure.” His parents replied.
Sora ran to Kairi’s home, when he reached her house, he knocked the door as the mayor opened the door for him. The mayor had already known that his step daughter had been dating with Sora, maybe Kairi told him yesterday after Sora went back home.
“Kairi, hurry up. Your boyfriend is waiting for you!” The mayor shouted to Kairi.
“I’m coming!” Kairi replied as she went down from upstairs hurriedly.
“Sir, we have to go now. Please take care yourself.” Sora said as he grabbed Kairi’s hand.
“Sure, Sora. Take care.” The mayor replied, “Sora, if your parents have time, someday I would love to visit your home. It’s been a while I haven’t met your parents.”
“Sure, you can visit us anytime you want, Sir!” Sora said as he said goodbye to the Mayor.
Sora and Kairi walked hand in hand to Sora’s home. On the way to his home, they met Riku and Selphie who were on the way to Sora’s home.
“Sora! Kairi!” Riku greeted as he saw Sora and Kairi walked hand in hand.
“Riku? Can you see what I see?” Selphie asked shock.
“Yes, they are.. walking… hand in hand…?” Riku replied as he shocked as well.
“Hey, I’ve just gone to Kairi’s home and picked up Kairi, shall we go now? My mom said that the cake will be ready!” Sora replied.
“Sora, are you…?” Riku asked.
“Oh… to be honest, I and Kairi had talked about our problem yesterday.” Sora replied.
“Yeah, It’s clear now. And now, I and Sora are dating now.” Kairi said as she grabbed Sora’s arm.
“Aww…. How sweet! Congratulations for both of you!” Selphie congratulated Sora and Kairi happily.
“that’s cool, both of you. Congratulations. I’m happy for both of you.” Riku congratulated Sora and Kairi as well.
“Thanks, Riku, Selphie.” Sora and Kairi replied together.
“Hey, I’ve got an idea! How about if we celebrate it once the finals done? Maybe we can eat together?” Selphie asked.
“That’s good idea, Selphie. It’s good for our stress reliever. How is it, Sora?” Kairi agreed as she asked back to Sora.
“Yeah, it’s good idea, besides, our finals in 2nd year will be harder than 1st year.” Sora agreed.
“Well guys, let’s study together. Let’s do our best.” Riku nodded as he asked his friends to study.
All his friends were nodded. They headed to Sora’s home. When they reached Sora’s home, they could smell something yummy. It’s the cake had been ready. Sora’s mom opened the door and greeted them.
“Oh, hello, all. Good Afternoon. Please come in and happy study. Hope you do the best at the finals.” Sora’s mom said, “and Kairi, I’m very happy that you are now dating Sora. I congratulate you, Kairi! Please tell the mayor that I’m happy about your relationship. Oh, sure, please tell him as well if someday we would love to visit the mayor. It’s been a while we haven’t met him.”
“Sure, auntie. I would love too. My father said that someday he would love visit you too.” Kairi replied as she bowed to Sora’s mom, “And thank you, Auntie. We will do the best at the finals.”
Sora’s mom smiled, she’s happy and proud that her son finally met right woman to have relationship with. Deep inside her heart, she hoped that their relationship would be long lasting forever.
Four friends went to upstairs and ready to study together, since tomorrow morning they would had final test. The first subjects were Physics and English. Physics was Riku’s specialty. Riku did his best to study and teach his friends about Physics, thankfully they could understand it very well.
“Riku, you’re really smart at Physics. You know, I’m really bad at it. I used to get remedial about Physics.” Sora said as he laid his head on the table.
“Well, Sora, you just need to study about it and have many exercises. I’m sure you can do it.” Riku cheered Sora.
“Riku is right, Sora. Remember your promise to me that you will not get remedial again in the finals and get good scores?” Kairi cheered Sora as well as she placed her hand on his head, “let’s study, I’ll help you.”
Sora felt relieved with his friend and girlfriend said. He managed to overcome his problem in Physics subjects. He studied hard and exercised many times, he got right in lot of questions which made Riku, Selphie, even Kairi proud at him. After they had done with Physics, they took a short break as Sora’s mom entered the room and served them with chocolate cake and herbal tea.
“Sora, your mom is really good at cooking! This cake is delicious.” Selphie said as she ate the cake.
“Selphie is right. It’s been a while I haven’t eaten auntie’s cake. She’s always the best.” Riku praised it as he ate the cake.
“Even the tea is good too. You really have talented mother, Sora!” Kairi said as she tried to give Sora a cake, “Here’s the cake.”
Sora ate the cake and he felt that the cake was delicious, “Thanks guys. Actually, my mom practiced it few months ago, since, you know. My mom has a plan to run cake shop business.”
“Woah, really? That’s cool! I think I’ll eat the cake here everyday!” Selphie said as she ate it happily.
“Sure, you can!” Sora nodded.
“And um… while we’re in break, may I ask something to you, Sora, Kairi?” Riku asked, “I’m happy that you’re dating Sora, what did you do yesterday to him? How was the problem cleared?”
Sora and Kairi starred each other as they started to blush. Kairi told Riku and Selphie what she did to Sora yesterday which made Riku and Selphie were proud at her.
“It’s romantic, Kairi!” Selphie said as she proud to her friend.
“Indeed. You both make me jealous.” Riku said as he crossed his arms.
“Aww, Riku! Someday you’ll find a perfect girl for you! I’m sure of it! I can help you to look for some if you want to. You help me so much!” Sora said.
“Thanks! I would love too someday! And yeah, sure, in case you find good girl, I would love to you introduce to me, Sora.” Riku replied as he highed five with Sora.
“Speaking of the relationship. Sora, Kairi. Riku and I think that sometimes you should have quality time for both of you. You know. I don’t mean that we four can’t study together, but. Sometimes both of you need to be alone, talk together, so that both of you can know each other better and better.” Selphie suggested, “I don’t mind if Riku and I study by ourself, so don’t worry about it.”
“Selphie has right words, Sora, Kairi. You both are love birds now. Maybe both of you need times to be alone, talk together so that you can know each other better. Don’t worry about us. Sometimes we can study together again like this, more important are both of you.” Riku added.
“Thanks guys.” Sora replied.
“anyway, I have a suggestion. How about like this. Tomorrow, Sora and Kairi should study together, and the day after tomorrow we can gather like this again. We’ll do this until the finals over. How is it?” Selphie asked.
“I agree with it.” Riku nodded.
Sora and Kairi agreed as well. After they had done eating, they continued to study English. They kept studying until night. As the clock was 9.30 PM, they decided to finish the study and went back home. Riku and Selphie went home first and Kairi was the last. Sora decided to accompany Kairi to her home.
“Sora, thank you. Let’s meet again tomorrow.” Kairi said as she kissed Sora at his lips.
“Sure, Kairi. Good night. Have a nice rest.” Sora said as he went back to his home.
After he reached at home, Sora continued his study again, although he’s already tired. Roxas appeared and try to speak at Sora.
“Sora, I know you want to get good score, please rest. You have done enough for today.”
“No, Roxas, I have promised to Kairi that I will not let her down. I must study harder.”
Roxas was shocked with Sora’s statement. He was usually lazy at study, but now, after Kairi had been his girlfriend, Sora had been motivated to do something best for her. Deep inside his heart, Roxas was proud at Sora. He’s just not only good at wielding Keyblade, but also good at keeping his promise.
Chapter 12: Just The Two of Us (Insert Date and Time : Wednesday June 10th 2015, 11: 00 AM -- UTC + 7 Hrs) *This chapter is quite long and has inappropriate language, you have been warned.*
The finals day had come, Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Selphie had studied as best as they can to get good scores. They underwent the finals seriously, although sometimes Kairi was worried about Sora, especially his grades. Kairi couldn’t stop thinking about Sora during her finals, he kept looking for Sora who was sometimes feeling sleepy during finals. She did her best to make sure Sora studied well, even though she had to sacrifice her health just for Sora. They kept doing their study group as they had planned. As they entered the day before last finals, they could feel the burden of finals were slowly disappeared.
“Finally, tomorrow is the last day! Let’s do our best.” Riku said as he stretched his arms.
“Yeah, after this we will celebrate it!” Selphie said happily, “Sora, are you okay?”
Sora showed his tired and hopeless face. He couldn’t believe that tomorrow that he would be battle against his least subject, Math.
“Kairi seems unhealthy too. Kairi, are you okay?” Selphie asked concern.
“Yeah, I’m okay. Math will be the last. Let’s do our best, right, Sora?” Kairi said as she tried to cheer Sora by stroking his hands.
“Kairi… you know, The finals are hard. I doubt I can get good score this time… Although I have studied till midnight.” Sora said hopeless.
“Well, indeed, Kairi. Sora had studied till midnight everyday. But still. He sometimes felt sleepy and in the end he fell asleep at his desk.” Roxas said as he appeared in front of them, “Kairi, are you okay? You seem sleepy just like him.”
“Yeah, I’m ookay…” Kairi said as she yawned.
“No, Kairi, you were studying until midnight too last night! I was watching you.” Namine said as she appeared as well.
“So, both of you were really study like that. No wonder.” Riku said.
“Anyway, let’s go for studying math at Sora’s home. Let’s cheer up guys.” Kairi said as she tried to overcome her burden of sleeping.
“Umm.. to be honest, Kairi, Sora. I think Selphie and I will be late for our study group today. Selphie needs to go to her literature club since they’re about doing hiring ceremony for new head club and new members of her club. I also need to finish my business with student council. I’m currently being asked by student council to do interview for new students who want to join student council.” Riku explained, “don’t worry we’ll catch you up soon.”
“Sure, Riku. It’s 3 PM already. I heard the ceremony and the interview will be started at 4 PM.” Selphie said as she looked at the clock, “We go first, Kairi. See you later.”
Kairi waved to Selphie and Riku who were in rush. Now, Kairi and Sora were left at the class room.
“Sora, let’s go. Don’t be hopeless at math. I’ll help you for it. Let’s do this.” Kairi said as she cheered Sora.
“Sure. Let’s go. Thanks Kairi. I need your help for math.” Sora said as he stood up and grabbed Kairi’s hand.
When they walked out from school hand in hand, all of their friends were watching at them, some of them were whispering something at their friends, which made Kairi little bit annoyed.
“Sora, our friends are watching at us…” Kairi said annoyed.
“Well, to be honest, all of School students have known that we’re dating. But hey, don’t be sad. They are lot of student who are dating here!” Sora said as he grabbed Kairi’s shoulder.
“Yeah, you’re right.” Kairi nodded.
Sora and Kairi continued their way to Sora’s home. On the way to Sora’s home, they noticed several kids were playing cold water. They realized that winter was nearby, snow would be fallen. Suddenly a kid threw a bucket of cold water into wrong direction and hit Kairi. Sora was shocked at covered her immediately with his jacket.
“I’m so sorry, miss! I’m sorry! I don’t mean to…” The boy apologized immediately.
“It’s okay. Better be careful next time, okay?” Kairi said as she apologized him.
“thank you miss, you really have pure hearts!” the boy said happily as he continued playing with the other boys.
“Pure hearts, huh?” Kairi said at herself.
“Of course, you’re princess of hearts. I’m sure your heart is pure like princess, Kairi. That boy is right.” Sora explained to her, “C’mon, let’s go to your home first and take several clothes.”
“No, Sora. I’m fine. I think I’ll borrow yours. Besides, the mayor was not home until tomorrow. He said to me this morning that I had to stay at friend’s home for a while.” Kairi said as she shook her head.
“Are you sure it’s okay?” Sora asked concern.
Kairi nodded, they walked fast to Sora’s home. Sora kept covering Kairi with his Jacket and made sure that Kairi wasn’t freezing until they reached at his home.
When they reached Sora’s home, Sora found his home was empty and he read a note which left by their parents:
“Sora, mom and dad were going to dad’s friend daughter wedding party, We will go home late. I have prepared some foods at the table, if you want to reheat it, you can reheat at the microwave. There are also frozen foods that you can cook, you can cook them if you want to. – Mom and Dad.”
Sora let out his sigh after he read the note. Kairi started to feel freezing.
“Kairi, let’s go to my room.” Sora guided her to his room.
As they entered Sora’s room, Sora took a towel from his cupboard and wiped Kairi’s face and her body from wet.
“Sora?” Kairi asked.
“Yeah? What is it?” Sora responded.
“I know that it’ll be embarrassing, but can I borrow your clothes for a while?” Kairi asked with a blush at her face.
“no need to shy, of course you can! Anyway, let’s change your uniform first. You can pick anything at that cupboard.” Sora said as he offered his clothes at his cupboard.
“thanks.” Kairi replied smile.
Kairi chose suitable clothes at Sora’s cupboard, suddenly she saw pajamas and underwear that she once put on to Sora while he was sick a week ago. She shook her head and she kept searching for suitable clothes for her, until she found his sleeves and shorts. She decided to use them for a while. She changed her clothes at his bathroom. After she had done changing, she went back to Sora’s room.
“Kairi, let me wash your uniform and dry your uniforms. You will use it again tomorrow, right?” Sora offered Kairi to wash her uniform.
“Ah, are you sure it’s fine?” Kairi asked blushingly.
“Sure. Just think it’s like your home!” Sora replied happily.
Kairi responded it with smile. She waited for Sora who was downstairs cleaning her uniform. After the uniform had been cleaned, he decided to dry them with her stockings, so that tomorrow she could use the uniform for the last finals. Sora went back to his room exhausted and he decided to change his clothes before he studied. When he put off his school uniform, Kairi was shocked seeing Sora’s bare chest.
“Oh!” Kairi shocked as she blushed.
“Oh, I’m sorry, Kairi! I will change at bathroom!” Sora said blushingly as he took short from his cupboard.
“It’s okay. You can change it here. I won’t see.” Kairi shook her head as she turned her body to back.
Sora changed his clothes immediately. He took his t-shirt and shorts from his cupboard and put them on immediately. As he had done changing, they started to study math side by side. Kairi explained to Sora well, and she gave several exercises to him and he started to work on it. During their study, they realized that they needed this time. The time that they could be together, just the two of them. Kairi started to say something to Sora.
“Sora, you know what? Back then. When I chose your clothes, I saw your pajamas and underwear. It reminded me when you’re sick. I was worried sick at you back then. But, thank goodness, that you’re fine after that.” Kairi explained as she laid her head at Sora’s shoulder.
“To be honest, Riku told me that too, you changed my clothes when I was sick.” Sora said as he started to blush, “Kairi, I’m sorry if I made you do that! I mean, I made you see mine… Anyway, Thank you for taking care of me back then…”
“Ah, It’s okay, Sora, I was panicked as well that day. You’re freezing. Riku hadn’t come, so I decided to changed your clothes first, I was worried at you. Don’t worry. I closed my eyes back then.” Kairi admitted blushingly, “Although… I touched yours inadvertently…”
Sora blushed as he knew the truth that Kairi touched that. He apologized to her several times, in the end Kairi forgave him, as that day was urgent for her.
“Sora? I’m also sorry about our home works… at Riku’s home…” Kairi said as she apologized at Sora.
“Oh, about what?” Sora asked confused.
“You know, I was really mad at you when you’re just playing around with Riku and Selphie, I didn’t realize that you’re trying to make me didn’t stress, in the end I was really mad at you.” Kairi explained.
“It’s very okay, Kairi, Well, I’m also sorry If I made you mad that day.” Sora said as he stroked her head while he kept working on his exercises.
“And to be honest, the reason I was mad was… you know… woman monthly problem…” Kairi started to admit shily.
“PMS?” Sora guessed it right.
“Yeah, you know. I did my best to hold the pain, but it seemed I couldn’t, in the end I bursted out my anger, and it was directly to you. But somehow, the PMS made me realize that I was growing up girl…” Kairi explained.
“I see. Well, you really had hard times, Kairi. If I were a girl, I could feel how PMS was.” Sora said as he had done his exercise, “Here, I’m done.”
“Oh, Let me check it.” Kairi received the answer sheets from Sora and checked it immediately.
Sora kept looking at Kairi who was smiling when she checked on his answer sheet. And Kairi’s smile was always Sora’s favorite. Sometimes he saw that Kairi was little bit sleepy, it’s natural since she was studying till midnight yesterday and she was less sleep. He put his jacket to cover her from cold and made her warm all the time.
“Sora, you’re amazing. You get them all right.” Kairi said as she happy with Sora’s progress.
“As long as you’re my teacher, I’ll do it seriously and get them all right, miss.” Sora said as he teased her.
“Hahaha. Sora! Cut it out! I’ll be die laughing, you know.” Kairi replied as she blushed.
Suddenly, they could hear that their stomachs were rumbling as they saw the clock. It’s 8 PM and they hadn’t eaten any. They starred each other and laughed.
“Okay, Let’s take a break and eat dinner. I’ll cook for you Kairi. You can wait here, okay?” Sora said as he kissed her forehead and walked out from his room.
“Sure, Mind If I make another exercise for you?” Kairi nodded as she offered Sora for another exercises.
“Sure, I need it. Thanks, Kairi.” Sora said as he left the room.
Sora made a dinner for him and Kairi for almost half hour. He made 2 plates of fried rice and fried eggs with 2 cups of coffee to make them stay awake until night. He also served some snacks which they could eat if they’re still hungry. Sora brought them all upstairs, as he entered his room, he found Kairi was sleeping. He knew that she’s tired because of studying. He put the foods on the table as he sat beside her.
“Kairi? The food is ready. Let’s eat.” Sora said as sat beside her and tried to wake her up.
Kairi was still in her deep slumber. Sora kept looking at her, her hair, her face, and the way she slept. He played with her red hair which made him happy.
“She’s so cute when she’s sleeping.” He whispered in his mind.
When he saw her lips, he was blushing. He thought about kissing her when she was sleeping. He shook his head many times but useless, he kept blushing at his face.
“Why should I shy? I mean I had done this before!” He kept telling himself deep inside his heart.
He leaned down his head towards her, his lips met hers as he kept stroking her hair lovely. As Sora was still kissing Kairi, Kairi opened her eyes little by little. She could feel Sora’s lips at hers. It felt good and nice. Kairi had never felt a good kiss like this before. As Sora broke his kiss, Kairi gave him a smile.
“Oh, Sora. I’m sorry I was sleeping.” Kairi said as she let out her yawn.
“Oh it’s…” Sora said as he blushed and shocked.
Sora and Kairi didn’t realize that Riku and Selphie had come in front of the room at watched them kissing. Kairi looked at them shocked at she was blushing as well as Sora.
“It. Was. Nice. Sora. Kairi.” Riku said with shock at his face.
