A/N: Hello all! Mizunami here~ I honestly do not remember the last time I have written anything... maybe a year or two? Needless to say, it's been quite a while! However, I've recently had thoughts to start writing fanfiction again... and actually publishing it :) This isn't going to be a full story... I've decided to just come up with my own 100 theme challenge with my own words (or words suggested by you guys!) to get the juices flowing. Believe me I need the motivation, haha~
I'm gonna try to keep these drabbles/oneshots related to eachother. However, I can almost guarantee that they won't be in order in terms of the relationship. I'll just be publishing whatever I have written for a certain word. :) This little project is strictly for motivation, fun, and enjoyment. I'm excited to share it with you all!
Hmmmm what else... oh the pairing will most definitely be Sora x Naminé! However, I will include other characters and parings as well. And I'm not sure how often I will be updating but I will try my best!
Anyways I think I'm done talking... xD I hope you enjoy! Reviews and constructive criticism are greatly appreciated. :)
Introduction
"We made a promise, didn't we?"
Azure eyes followed the movements of a blonde, petite girl as she dropped a yellow crayon onto the surface of her pleated sketchbook. His smirk quickly turned into a boyish grin as she turned to meet his gaze, a look of bewilderment settled upon her face.
"What makes you say that?" She asked, her voice carrying a tint of anticipation. A gentle smile tugged onto the corners of her lightly glossed lips as she curled her legs behind her, twisting her body to give the young man her full attention. His soft chuckle bypassed the colliding waves and frantic breeze of mid-Summer as he laid his back onto the delicate sand. Folding his slightly muscular arms behind his head, he turned towards her direction and flashed her a smile.
"Just a hunch."
Confusion beamed across her face. "Like something deep inside your heart?" She questioned, hope dripping off of her tongue. Memories of that day played through her mind. She could still remember the tender expression on his face as the pod closed, enveloping him into a deep slumber. She remembered- a pinky promise.
He turned onto his side, his elbow propped up in the sand, a balled fist on his cheek. A toothy grin spread across his face, blue eyes gleaming. "Exactly!"
She dropped her gaze back onto her drawing that was nestled in her lap. She was still smiling as she recollected the crayon into a calm grasp. The girl was working on a drawing of the sunset that dawned in front of them. Bright and pleasant, just like the soul who settled beside her.
"By the look on your face, I must be right!" He cheered, pushing himself up to crawl a bit closer to the blonde.
She said nothing, but the smile on her face grew bigger.
"Naminé?"
"We promised that we would be friends for real." Voice gentle, she met his gaze once more. A tint of pink shown visible on her porcelain cheeks. "No lies. A fresh start…"
Happiness bubbled in his gut as he stared at the nervous girl. His eyes held hers for a moment before he quickly glanced at what she had been sketching. Cerulean orbs gazed back to her flushed face as he grinned. He backed away a few inches before he jumped up to his feet. "Just a second!" he exclaimed as he started to jog away from her.
"S-Sora, what are you-." She stuttered. Her line of vision trailed him until he was out of sight. Letting out a discreet sigh, she allowed her eyes to drop down to her lap once again. Her hand traced along the soft sand until it hit a small rectangular box full of waxy colors. After allowing her fingers to dance among the crayons, she finally found the one she was searching for. She lightly pulled the red stick out of its cardboard container and twirled it her hand to press it onto the half-finished sketch. Mind somewhere else, she involuntarily ignored the quick footsteps coming towards her.
"Wow that's a nice drawing!" Sora's voice boomed behind her. Naminé jumped in surprise, whipping her head back to gawk at him in severe misperception.
"Sor-" She started, an thin eyebrow raised.
"Mind if I sit with you?" The brown haired teen cut her off, a cheesy smile stretched across his face. He placed a hand on the back of his head, ruffling his hair in slight embarrassment.
She wasn't following.
"I-I don't mind."
He let out a thrilled giggle as he rushed to sit down beside her. Crossing his legs in front of himself, the brunette flashed a toothy grin and shot his hand towards her. A pinky promise? No… a handshake.
"I'm Sora! What's your name?"
Lips agape, the color in her cheeks quickly rushed back into position. Her typical pale face shown a rosy pink. She finally caught on.
A fresh start.
Gazing into his cerulean eyes, her open lips gradually turned into a kind smile.
We'll be friends for real.
She let out a faint giggle and lifted her hand to meet his in a small grasp.
"I'm Naminé."
