Chapter 9: Try For the Hell Of It

The rowdy sounds of the New Year’s Eve party were quickly drowned out as Roxas made his way upstairs. All he needed to do was use the bathroom, but the closest one was occupied, so the one in the bedroom upstairs was his only option… that is, if that one wasn’t occupied as well.

As much as he enjoyed the festivities, along with the loud music blasting through the walls, it was actually nice to have a brief moment of peace, so he couldn’t complain.

The blond eventually reached the bedroom and noticed the door was slightly open. He knocked just in case before slowly pushing the door open.

The room was empty.

Good.

From there, Roxas made his way to the bathroom, but he suddenly stopped in his tracks when he noticed someone just outside the window across the bedroom.

“Oh, hey Roxas.”

Roxas froze up, not realizing who was calling his name until the figure moved closer to the dim lighting in the room.

“Kairi?” He questioned, still remaining in place… as well as wondering what the heck the girl was doing. “Uhh… hi?”

Kairi giggled softly as she gestured for Roxas to come over.

“Wanna come here for a bit?”

Despite being completely caught off guard seeing the auburn haired girl at an awkward time, he couldn’t help but accept the offer.

“Yeah, I guess. Just uh… give me a sec.”

He finally stepped inside the bathroom before making his way back out moments after, noticing Kairi was resting her arms on the window sill, patiently waiting for him.

She looked pretty.

Though, that still didn’t explain why she was here by herself out on the roof.

“So… any reason you’re here and not with everyone else downstairs?” Roxas asked, carefully climbing out the window to join the girl.

“Mmmm,” the girl hummed as she turned to look up at the night sky, “No real reason. I just wanted to get away from all the noise for a bit.”

At that moment, a lone firework went off in the distance and echoed through the air.

“I don’t think it’ll be too quiet out here once midnight hits,” Roxas chuckled.

“Yeah, but at least we’ll have front row seats to watch the fireworks,” Kairi smiled.

“What time is it anyway?” The blond wondered.

The girl pulled out her phone and tapped on the screen.

“It’s 10:23. We still got a little while to go.”

“So you’re just gonna stay here until 12 am?”

Kairi looked up at Roxas and shrugged nonchalantly, “I mean, you can leave if you want.”

Roxas tilted his head slightly before letting out a small laugh. “You can’t get rid of me that easily.“

“Wanna see about that?”

The red head reached her arms out and made it seem like she was about to push Roxas off the roof, but he quickly took ahold of her wrists.

“Whoa hey! Take it easy!” He laughed, pushing her arms away. She giggled in return and tried to fight back for a moment before gazing at the young man.

“You’ll stay with me then?”

Roxas locked his eyes with hers and smiled softly before letting her wrists go.

“Yeah, I’ll stay… everyone’s gonna be wondering where we are though,” he added, rubbing his neck.

The girl giggled as she shifted closer to Roxas’ side. “With how crazy things are downstairs, I doubt it.”

And there they stayed.

With just about an hour and a half until midnight, the two spent the night getting lost in conversation, as well as occasionally exchanging glances that made Roxas’ heart skip a beat. He wondered if she felt the same way too, but he thought it’d be a dumb thing to ask.

He peeked over to see her looking at her phone for the time.

11:55 pm.

Even though midnight was finally just around the corner, Roxas didn’t want the night to end.

“So I guess the countdown starts soon, huh?”

“Mmhmm…” She remained quiet for a moment, keeping her eyes on her phone before speaking up again.

“I guess that also means I’ll be sharing my New Year’s kiss with you.”

Roxas froze up.

Kairi looked over to him and laughed, “I’m kidding.”

The blond let out a small, nervous chuckle and looked down to his hands, timidly twiddling his fingers.

“Doesn’t sound all too bad,” he shrugged.

Kairi kept her gaze on him, realizing her cheeks suddenly felt warmer than it did moments ago. She briefly looked down at her phone again before shifting around to face Roxas.

“Okay, one little kiss then.”

Roxas curiously watched her for a moment, slightly adjusting himself as well.

“That’s all it takes to convince you, huh?”

Kairi playfully pouted and suddenly turned away from him.

“No kiss for you then.”

Why is she such a tease?

And why can’t I learn to keep my mouth shut..?

“I didn’t mean it like that. I just didn’t think you’d actually wanna do that with me.”

Kairi stayed silent for a moment and shrugged, turning back to face Roxas.

“You’re cute.”

Roxas opened his mouth to say something but the voices downstairs began the countdown to midnight.

He didn’t hesitate to wait any longer and leaned forward, pressing his lips to hers.

Though, he pulled away almost immediately, unsure if he should keep it going. Not to mention, the countdown was still not even finished.

“Uh… should we wait?” Roxas asked timidly.

Kairi smiled softly and gently tugged on his shirt, pulling him towards her to kiss him again.

Before they knew it, it was finally 12 am and the fireworks started going off in the distance. Though, despite having the perfect view to watch the show in front of them, the act of kissing just seemed much nicer at that moment.

And the fact that it was just the two of them alone…

Roxas pulled away after a few moments to take a breath, as well as just not wanting to get too ahead of himself.

Kairi bit her lip and curiously watched him as she tried to regain her composure. “Are you okay?”

Roxas chuckled to himself and nodded. “Yeah, that was… wow.”

The red head blushed as she kept her hand on his shirt, quietly watching the fireworks.

“Can you stay with me a bit longer?” she asked quietly, timidly tugging the hem of his shirt.

Roxas wasn’t sure what it was but something felt different as he looked at the girl beside him. Almost like a fire ignited in his chest.

“Yeah, I’ll stay,” The blond smiled to himself and took her hand, implying to head back inside the room. Once they were back inside, Roxas turned to face her.

“Oh yeah, happy new year by the w–”

He was cut off by Kairi’s lips pressing against his, causing him to lose his footing which nearly sent them stumbling to the ground.

Thankful there was a bed in the way.

The auburn haired girl couldn’t help but giggle, which made Roxas laugh in return.

Once they composed themselves, Kairi kept her gaze on the blond, who was gazing back at her with a longing stare. She smirked as her eyes briefly trailed to his lips, then back up.

“Happy new year, Roxas.”

Had this in my drafts for a while, thought I'd share it here 😊

"We're both looking for something, we've been afraid to find"

Here's a reupload from Roxas/Kairi week 2022!

[roxaskairi]

Here's some Roxas/Kairi week 2021 reuploads 😊

[roxaskairi]

I’m not even saying that ship them together, I’m not saying that I don’t, but what I am saying is that at this point in the story they understand each other better than anyone else, because he understands more than anyone what it’s like to have everything ripped away from him, he understands what it feels like to be responsible for the death of his most precious person, he understands what it’s like to live with that kind of anger

and what’s so interesting to me is that her story parallels his in a way, because she was also ripped away from everything she knew, and not once but twice, twice her home was destroyed, twice she lost everything she knew and loved, and TWICE she lost her most precious person and she was the reason for it both times

There’s just so, so much to play with here especially since she’s a princess of heart and no darkness can touch her heart, but that doesn’t mean she can’t be angry about it all

[roxaskairi]

because like the thing about the group in kh is that everyone loves to get on the toxic positivity train, and I know that if Kairi shows for one second that she’s sad about sora being gone and feeling at all guilty for it, they’ll all be like “oh no don’t be sad, he wouldn’t want that”

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT

roxas would let her be sad and angry because she has a right to be, because everything that happened is so fucked up, and he knows first hand what it’s like to have people not take your hurt seriously
