Fast Food Madness: The Epic Return V2

Roxas lifted his sight to Namine at her voice, then locating the brownie that was held out in her grasp. He found her eyes once more and gave her a look as if to say, Are you sure? He didn't want to take a brownie from her; after all, the girls hadn't gotten any all day.

 

Namine shrugged lightly, a gentle smile on her lips as she looked at Roxas. She was hungry enough to eat it, but she wanted Roxas to have it anyway, since she knew that brownies were one of his favorite snacks.

 

Roxas nodded slightly before uncrossing his arms and starting forward, approaching the couch. "Thanks," he said, taking the brownie from Namine's hand. He proceeded to bite into it, at the same time turning to give Sora a small smile. Who got a brownie? Roxas got a brownie.

 

Sora rolled his eyes at Roxas's pleased expression, the brunet actually a little jealous that he had been given a brownie. But he wasn't about to ask Kairi to give him one of hers; he had eaten a lot of the snack earlier, so it was only fair that his other friends had some too.

 

Kairi peeked around Roxas and motioned for Sora to come over. She saw him still standing by the doorway, and she had the urge to be next to him. It had always been that way since they got back together, even a week or so after. Plus, he looked a little defeated because of Roxas and the whole brownie charade.

 

Sora saw Kairi's gesture out of the corner of his eye, the brunet shifting his gaze away from Roxas and the brownie to see Kairi looking at him expectantly. A weak smile appeared on his lips as he started over, the brunet walking around the back of the couch and then going around it, standing next to where Kairi sat.

 

Kairi wordlessly lifted a hand and set it on Sora's lower arm, the girl looking up at him. She chewed on her brownie and after swallowing, offered the rest of it to the boy. She was actually pretty full after their dinner, so she didn't think she could eat the rest of the chocolate treat. Sora could have it if he wanted it, and she was sure he did, after he and Roxas raced in here to get them.

 

Sora shifted his gaze to the brownie in Kairi's hand, the teen realizing what she was doing. He looked back up at her after a brief moment, though, shaking his head a little. "I don't want to take if from you," he insisted softly. It was kind of her to offer him the treat, but he had more than his fair share earlier.

 

"You sure?" Kairi asked. She really didn't want it anymore, but if Sora insisted that he didn't want it either, she would just give it to Roxas. After all, he did just stuff Namine's brownie in his mouth.

 

"If you're hungry, you should eat it," Sora said, holding Kairi's gaze. He wouldn't sink so low as to take food from her if she wanted to eat it; that would have been awful of him. He would never be inconsiderate with Kairi, even if in this case, it was just a brownie.

 

Kairi shook her head with a small smile. "I'm really not anymore," she admitted, thinking of dinner. The spaghetti had been more filling than she thought. She lowered the brownie a little bit, beginning to see that Sora really didn't want it.

 

Sora glanced down at the brownie, seeing how delicious it appeared. "...You sure you don't want it?" he asked, making sure that Kairi didn't mind him having it. If she wasn't hungry, then he would take it, but if she was just being polite by giving it to him when she wanted it herself, then he wouldn't take it.

 

"Positive," Kairi said with a small nod. Even smelling the chocolate made her realize how full she really was. Taking another bite would probably even hurt her. Sora could definitely have it if he wanted it.

 

"Alright then," Sora finally said, a soft smile appearing on his lips when he saw how genuine Kairi was with her answer. The brunet bent over slightly and gave her a light kiss on the top of her red hair before he reached for the brownie, gently taking it out of her grasp and taking a bite out of it.

 

Kairi felt her small smile grow at the gesture, heat impacting her cheeks as she let go of Sora's arm and looked down to her lap. These days, she couldn't help but blush sometimes around him; some actions seemed foreign because he was gone, but now that he was back, it was different. She just had to get used to it.

 

Sora ate what was left of Kairi's brownie and enjoyed it, the brunet enjoying what must have been his seventh brownie. He had a sweet-tooth, and he wasn't ashamed about it. He just wished that he had brownies and cookies in his own home; it would make life in NYC much more enjoyable.

 

Roxas sat himself down on the arm of the couch, his feet touching the floor as he savored the chocolatey taste in his mouth from eating the brownie Namine gave him. He smiled slightly to himself, having loved the small treat. He didn't think he would ever get tired of them. The same went for Namine's cooking, as well as Kairi's.

 

Namine had looked over in time to see Sora enjoy the last brownie before she focused on Roxas, seeing the content expression on his face. She couldn't help but smile, the girl leaning forward and setting the empty plate on the coffee table as she spoke. "Someday, you two need to learn how to make brownies yourselves," she said. Since they loved the treat so much, they should have learned how to make it for themselves.

 

Roxas turned his head to look down at Namine. "Maybe, but did you see what we did in the kitchen?" he said, motioning in that direction with his thumb. "Neither of us are good with cooking. It would definitely end in disaster." He would know, since he did set a part of the kitchen on fire. That was bad, and he had sworn off cooking from then on out, even if he did make the dinner for Namine an exception.

 

Namine smiled softly, shaking her head a little bit. "Baking is a lot easier than cooking," she told him. It really wasn't all that complicated, whether you were making cookies or brownies. Mix stuff together, get the right measurements of each ingredient...It was a pretty easy job if you followed instructions.
