Roxas looked at Hayner furiously. He jumped to his face and slugged him right in the stomach. "DON'T make fun of Namine..." He snarled. He started back towards Namine, totally leaving his friends in the dust. He didn't even see their faces, but he knew they were frozen. He walked over to Namine and placed an arm around her shoulder as he watched the rain fall from the sky.

Namine could no longer hear them, the rain peltted so hard.
"ROXAS!" Olette screamed in horror as her friend marched away, Pence speachless.
Namine turned around, gasping at a laying down Hayner. "Roxas..." she said softly, ducking under his arm to check out the site.

Roxas turned as Namine did, dropping his arm. He looked down his fallen friend. His eyes narrowed. He slowly sauntered over to where Olette and Pence were standing and where Hayner was writhing in pain. His face was emotionless as he stared down Olette and Pence. "You guys want to say anything?" He asked, giving them a quick, thingyy smirk. He breathed in, and the out. His gaze went down to Hayner on the ground. He looked like he was about to throw-up and second. Roxas kneeled down to see his face more clearly. He grimaced at the pitiful, distorted face of his 'best friend.' As he pushed himself up, he huffed a laugh. Of course Namine didn't know why he had slugged Hayner like that. If only she knew, she wouldn't have that concern in her eyes. His breathing was a bit rushed with adrenaline, and fear. He didn't know what had came over him... Wait, yea he did... It was anger he HAD been bottling up for Pence one day. Instead it came out on his best friend. Maybe now Pence would leave him alone though. But, maybe they all would leave him alone, as in desert him. He didn't want that, he didn't want them to hate him. But he also didn't want them always picking on HIM. Always going too far, just because he would let them. Now he wouldn't though. He wouldn't stand for any of their crap!

Olette scrunched up her nose in fury. "What is wrong with you?!" she snapped, lifting Hayner on her own. Pence realized she was doing so, and eagerly helped his friend up. Hayner was just quiet, stunned almost.
Namine too had silenced, drawn back, leaning on the piano as if so shocked she needed support. This boy, who had heald her through a thunderstorm... who hadn't called her childish for fearing it, had just...? Why? The nobody's hand quivered. All she could do was softly speak his name under her breath. "Roxas...." she said softly, one hand lifting to gently rest at her chin. She was sacred, yet understanding, but then scared again.

Roxas looked back at Namine, and then felt stupid. He had scared her, no... Terrified her. He looked down at the ground, "Sorry..." He whispered slowly. He turned to look back at Hayner, who was now gradually getting his feet back with the help of Olette and Pence. He felt like just dropping to the ground and crying. Or at least running away, but he couldn't do either of them. He knew it was his fault, and he couldn't run away from his mistakes. He took a large, long breath and waited...

Olette and Pence were quiet, but noone in the room had expected the next person who spoke, to speak. "It's alright man... I took it too far..." Hayner said calmly, grinning, "But you sure do have a punch on you!!!" he exclaimed, laughing. Even after all that, it was like nothing had happened. "If you'll all exscuse me, I think my innards are caving in. C'mon Pence, Olette." Hayner said, laughing again as he pulled himself free from their grasps.
Namine was quiet, still so shocked, she seated herself on the piano bench, folding her hands in her lap.

Roxas was standing there, wide-eyed looking at Hayner just walk away... Like nothing happened! Roxas sighed, he should have known it would be like that, Hayner was always like that. The largest things were little parasites. That made him wonder what his family life was, he never really talks about it... That made him feel even more horrible and stupid. "Sorry, Hayner..." He yelled back at him.
Now he was almost certain Namine wouldn't want anything more to do with him. Namine didn't know why he had done that either... But she was now scared out of her wits, and he wouldn't be able to calm her... He was sure if he got too close to her, she would run away and never return. Or become frozen... Either one... So Roxas looked back at Namine sadly. "Well, I guess you don't wanna hang around with me, so I'll just leave..." He muttered, smiling a bit out of habit. He turned on his foot, and started down the stairs.

Namine sat there, awestruck. It.. it wasn't like that at all!!! As she heard his footsteps reach the stairwell, she leaped up, running after him, "Wait! Don't leave! Ah! Unless you have to, I mean! Please stay..." she started out loud, then her voice gradually went softer until she had stopped at the top of the stairs. For the first time since she had let him in, she felt like they were a thousand miles apart, once so close, and now he was leaving, just like that. Namine had figured he'd have to go home sometime, but just like that? Goodbye? No promise of tomorrow? Another dark night... wondering? She couldn't bare it, so she just started crying, like a five year old, and she didn't even care at this point if it made him think her childish.

Roxas looked back, awestruck. She still wanted him here? Roxas blinked, unknowing of what the heck she was talking about. A boy who had just punched his best friend! He looked around his head to try and find a coherent(sp) sentence, or even a coherent word! That's when she started crying. Roxas hadn't thought of that... Now he had to do his search all over again... He tried with her name, "N-Namine..." It came out slowly and carefully. He slowly inched forward to her, afraid getting too close to her again would get her even more scared. He took a deep breath and placed his arms around her frail body. "Namine, what's wrong?" He finally asked. Finding good enough words to fit in place.

After a few moments more of sobbing, Namine found that she was hidden within Roxas' arms, again fitting perfectly there. "Don't go... not yet... please..." she whispered. Again, so childish, spouting out words that were sure to make him think of her as weak, but he was weak, and denying it was no use. "If you have to... I understand... but..." 'With you.... I know I'm safe... and the darkness doesn't seem that much scarrier anymore..' she finished within her head, lifting one fragile hand to whipe one eye.

Roxas laughed quietly, "I won't... If I could, I would stay here all the time..." He replied. He kept his arms around her, not wanting to move himself. He was happy, and he hoped she was happy. If she really wanted him to leave, she wouldn't have said anything, would she? He smiled at how childish she was being, but he thought it was cute. He liked how childish she acted when she's scared. He stroked her hair lovingly, it was just like it was, before Hayner ruined it all... ((Still blaming it on Hayner xD))

((ROFL. Hayner- 0_o so it's... my fault??? What the-- Olette- Drop it. I'm confused too. >>))
Namine smiled softly, although she doubted he could see it, as she was burried into him. Feeling his hands play with her hair, she closed her eyes happily. She now wondered, what would be next? The rain had subsided, almost like an omen, and the birds were chirping again. The garden came to mind, but they had the day, a glorious 24 hours, they would take their time, enjoying each other, before night came once more.

"So, whatcha wanna do, go?" Roxas mused, still playing with her velvet soft hair. He noticed the rain stopping, the birds comming out to play. He wondered what time it was... It must have just been around 12, noon. They had time to spend together, time to get closer... Roxas's mouth curled slightly. He didn't know what another day with Namine would bring, but he hoped it would be a happy time...

"Do you enjoy flowers?" she asked softly, blue eyes opening gently. "I sometimes sneak out the back door and visit the garden... lately there are red roses in bloom. They're the most beautiful things I've seen yet... I'm sure after this nice rain fall they'll be at their reddest." she said, dreamily. It was her only way out of the musty mansion. Sure she loved her mansion, her home, her sketch book, but those flowers, they were just... sugoi.

Roxas grinned in pleasure, "Yea, flowers are cool!" He stated. 'Why does she have to sneak?' Roxas asked himself. She didn't have any parents here, she lived alone. Right? Or, would her parents come and disapprove of him and make him leave? He would hate that... He would probibly still come and see her though... The thought of seeing roses with Namine was pleasing to him though. A romantic setting, he guessed. Flowers surrounding them, wet with the early rain. Yea, that would be nice...
