Fast Food Madness: The Epic Return V2

Kairi looked down at Sora's grip on her arm, surprised. She looked to Namine then, seeing her escape.

Roxas saw the action from his place on the ground, also spotting Namine retreat. She was climbing out the window, which immediately triggered his nerves. Despite the situation, he hoped she didn't get hurt.

 

"Hey!" Sora hollered, surprised. "Come on, don't run off; we just want the tape!"

Namine smiled over her shoulder, having a firm grip on the tree branch she was on. "And that's not going to happen!" she said, laughing. She couldn't give up the camera, because that would lead to the discovery of the memory card being missing. She cautiously climbed down the tree, not having any problems.

 

Roxas took a few steps over, stopping a few feet away as he watched Namine. He was near the area where she would surely touch the ground, and there was no way she was getting away from him.

 

Namine gripped onto a branch, the girl looking straight down when she was on the lowest branch of the tree. She softly jumped down onto the ground, her feet impacting the snow. She felt bad for leaving Kairi alone in the treehouse, but they both knew that the boys couldn't get a hold of this camera.

 

Roxas arched an eyebrow at the blonde girl before him, leaning to the side and putting one fist to his hip. He cleared his throat. Perhaps she had forgotten--he and Sora were on the same side, and she was right in front of him now.

 

Namine looked up, eyes widening when she saw Roxas right in front of her. "Uh-oh," she said without thought, aware that she still had the camera on her back. Surely Roxas could see that as well; why else would she have had a backpack on?

 

Roxas motioned to the backpack with his free hand. "Whatcha got there?" he asked, the same look on his face as he gazed at Namine. Of course he knew, and he wasn't letting her get away. Not this time.

 

Namine looked down at the ground, folding her hands in front of her as she lightly ran her foot over the snow a few times. "Nuttin," she said, feeling like she was a child who was about to be scolded. She glanced up at Roxas, giving him her version of the "puppy-dog look".

 

Roxas's expression softened briefly at the look he received from Namine, aware that he had a soft spot for that face. However, he quickly went back to his previous behavior, determination returning to his eyes. "I highly doubt that," he said, smirking slightly.

 

Namine glanced at the ground again, realizing that she would have to do better if she wanted any mercy from Roxas. "You don't believe me?" she asked, looking back up to Roxas with her lower lip out a little bit.

 

"N-no," Roxas said, accidentally stuttering as his eyebrow came back down. He was falling for Namine's tricks again. That puppy face is just so cute, he thought, but then he blinked. No, he had to stay focused. He needed that tape.

 

Namine tilted her head to the side slightly, keeping her big blue eyes on Roxas. "No?" she repeated. "So you do believe me?" He said that he didn't not believe her, though she was sure that he meant to say something else. But her efforts to soften him seemed to have been working, so she wasn't going to let up on him.

 

Roxas shook his head quickly, realizing his mistake. "No, no," he said frantically. "I don't believe you." Those big eyes were getting to him, as always when Namine pulled this stunt. It hardly ever happened, which was why the effect was so strong. Roxas just found it too cute to resist, but this time he had to. For his and Sora's sakes.

 

Namine looked at Roxas, sadness appearing in her eyes. "Why don't you believe me?" she asked, tilting her head to the other side a little bit as she spoke the question. The answer was obvious, but she would do whatever she could to trip Roxas up again.

 

"Uh..." Roxas moved his hand from his hip to his head, running it over the back of his spikes. "The backpack. Why else would you be wearing it?" Namine was making this difficult, and somehow he knew it was on purpose. But she was guilty, and he was in search of justice. And that was destroying that footage.

 

Namine shrugged lightly, keeping up the act. "I figured that maybe me and Kairi would be out here for a while," she admitted, keeping her hands folded in front of her. "Maybe I grabbed a snack for us to enjoy." That was untrue, but since she had said the word "maybe", it technically wasn't a lie.

 

Roxas focused, fighting the urge to admire Namine's beautiful face. "A snack? Okay, let me see," he said. He held out his hand, motioning for her to hand over the bag. He wasn't a fool, even if he had been tricked.

 

Namine brought up a hand, twirling some of her long blonde hair with her finger as she looked at Roxas with the same look she had been giving him for the past few minutes. "We might have eaten it all," she pointed out softly, bringing out her lower lip again. Come on, Roxas, you know you want to give in, she thought, blinking once as she gazed at her boyfriend.

 

Roxas blinked. "M-might have?" he said, not meaning to stutter again. He was still focused, but he could feel his guard slowly going down due to Namine's expression. Why was she so cute?!

 

Namine fought the urge to smile, the girl biting her lip a little bit and briefly glancing at the ground, running her foot over the snow one time before she looked up at him. "Mmhmm," she hummed softly, gazing at Roxas with the puppy-dog eyes.
