A Long Time Coming

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

[When this particular girl woke up this morning, she didn't feel the need to be thankful for anything. Which is saying something's wrong, since she knows full well that her luck has run her into the best time of her life as of late. The problem isn't that she's ungrateful, but that she simply lacks the means of feeling.]

[When she figured out her heart was gone again (not hard to do, without the warm fuzzy feeling of waking up next to her boyfriend in the morning), Kairi made her way out of her room. She's currently sitting in the kitchen where she's often found, looking kind of spacey. Someone doesn't know how to tell Riku.]

[And someone's been looking for her!

So he'll slink into the kitchen.]

Hey.

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

[She hesitates before looking at him and giving a smile. She's hoping he doesn't notice right away.]

Hey. How're you?

[dawnpath.livejournal.com]

Can't really complain.

[he shrugs]

I was wondering where you ran off to, though.

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

Sorry about that. Guess I was hungry.

[She can't feel guilt for lying, right? The crash when you lose a heart is worse than never having one.]

[dawnpath.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about it.

[He's still clueless in that regard, so he'll go ahead and take a seat.]

[She's unusually quiet, and she's avoiding eye contact whenever she isn't speaking to him. She seems just spacey in general, but she's cleaned up, so it's obvious she's not still groggy from waking.]

[dawnpath.livejournal.com]

... Hey, something up?

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

... [She reaches out and takes his hand, putting it between her own. She takes his hand up to her cheek, pressing it against the soft skin.]

You're not gonna like this.

[dawnpath.livejournal.com]

[----!

Yeah. His eyes widen a bit.]

Kairi, what---

What happened?

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[don't mind him, he's just groggily making his way over toward the coffee pot. that is one of the things he is certain of where it is.

he's also wearing deep blue pants and a wild-colored, long-sleeved Hawaiian shirt, which he doesn't actually know is patterned.]

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

[just glances up at him, though her expression only changes for a moment, until she realizes you aren't her boyfriend. Then it turns back to being blank, with a slight hint of distaste.]

[Riku isn't her favorite person in the world, to put it lightly. Unless it's her boyfriend, but he had to work for it.]

fml I'm sick and gotta work soon

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[it takes him a moment, before he suddenly realizes she's there. he tenses for a moment, then goes back to what he was doing, trying to hide the fact that he can't actually see the things he's reaching for]

Good morning.

:c

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

... Good morning.

[Her voice is quiet, almost with a hint of distaste, but it's still Kairi's voice.]

I think its strep ;;

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[tilts his head slightly in the direction of your voice]

Have I done something to offend you?

D: D: D: D: Noooo not strep! That's bad contagious!

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

That's kind of impossible.

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

Mm. Would you like something to eat? I'm going to make bacon and scrambled eggs.

[he's gotten to know this kitchen pretty well, only having to feel around a bit to find the skillet he was looking for]

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

... I'll give it a shot.

[if not just because you are obviously unable to see. B| She's curious.]

[nobody-heart.livejournal.com]

[There's another girl walking into the kitchen, and she can see that spacey look, and is not really used to seeing a Kairi look that way.

But it's not like she's worried about it. She cant worry. She lost her heart a while ago too.

She can be curious though.]

Are you alright?

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

[glances up-oh shit, straightening... and then relaxing slightly, though she's still tense.]

... Is that a trick question? [She's trying to keep in mind that his is not her world's Namine. In her world, Namine = Superior.]

Wtf happened to my html? ^^;

[nobody-heart.livejournal.com]

[Well she is wearing the organization coat. But that's just so she cant be tracked in her own world.]

Well it wasn't. But I suppose that answers my question.

LJ raped it. B|

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

[The coat does not make the Superior, in her opinion.]

I guess it does.

[nobody-heart.livejournal.com]

[Of course.

Walks over to make some coffee.]

So what's wrong? If you dont mind me asking?

pffffff

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

[Even if you aren't her boss, you're still a Namine. She trusts them, generally.]

It's nothing. Literally. And it's not fair.

T_T

[nobody-heart.livejournal.com]

[Tilts her head a little.]

...What happened?

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

This place takes everything away, that's what. I was finally able to just... be happy. Now that's not even an option.

[The dry tone of her voice is foreign to her now, but not going anywhere.]
