Fast Food Madness: The Epic Return V2

Roxas leaned back, one hand on the open door of the fridge. He heard footsteps and turned around a little bit, seeing Namine coming over. He wordlessly moved out of the way, his hand remaining on the door as he moved to that side.

 

Namine put the food in the fridge next to the salad, though she didn't move so that Roxas could shut the door. "You think Sora and Kairi want anything to drink?" she asked, turning her head to look at Roxas. She was going to grab some water for herself, but she didn't know if anybody else wanted anything.

 

"Probably," Roxas said in honesty, remembering the brownies everyone had eaten. It was a possibility the two were thirsty, so it was good that Namine thought of it.

 

Namine nodded, reaching in and grabbing two waters for Sora and Kairi. She set them on the counter beside the fridge before she turned back to her boyfriend, who was holding the fridge door. "You want anything?"

 

Roxas shook his head as he gazed at Namine. "Nah, I'm good for now," he told her. He wasn't thirsty or hungry, but mostly tired. He wouldn't be surprised if watching the movie made him even more sleepy. Of course, he would try to stay awake, but it was pretty much dark out, so it wouldn't be easy.

 

"Alright," Namine said, reaching into the fridge for one last bottle of water. She set it on the counter next to the others before she turned around, heading towards the empty sauce bowl. "Just let me put this in the dishwasher, and then we can head out to the living room." It would be nice to know that the kitchen was fully cleaned when she was watching the movie; that way, she wouldn't have to clean the kitchen when she was more tired. Or dizzy, which she was feeling a little bit of again at that moment.

 

Roxas nodded and watched his girlfriend walk away from the fridge before he shut the door. He leaned against the counter next to it casually, waiting for when she would be finished so they could join Sora and Kairi in the living room.

 

Namine opened up the dishwasher with one hand, then pulling open a drawer for her to put the bowl in. She placed it in there and then closed the dishwasher again, the girl finished with her work. "What movie did you guys pick, anyway?" she asked, walking over to the other counter and picking up the three bottles of water.

 

"'The Invention of Lying'," Roxas recited, thinking of the cover on the movie's case. "Pretty good?" From what he remembered, Namine had seen every movie she owned, unlike him--he had movies he hadn't even sat down and watched yet--so he figured she knew if it was worthwhile.

 

Namine held the bottles in her hand, the girl turning towards Roxas at the question. "From what I remember, yeah," she said. "I haven't seen it in a while, though." It was humorous, but for some reason, she hadn't pulled out that movie in a while.

 

Roxas leaned up from the counter, smiling slightly. "'Kay then. Let's go refresh your memory," he said motioning with his head toward the direction of the living room. If Namine said it was good, then it probably would be the same to him as well. Plus, Kairi and Sora were waiting.

 

Namine smiled at Roxas's words, the girl nodding. "Alright," she said, starting to walk past him. It would be good to sit down for a while; she didn't know why, but she was feeling dizzy once again. Maybe she had caught some kind of cold because of how long she was out in the cold weather today.

 

Roxas's small smile remained on his face, but then slowly faded as he followed Namine out of the room. He blinked his eyes, already beginning to feel the way he did before he fell asleep at night. He wasn't sure how long he would be awake at this rate, but he would try to stay up with his friends.

 

Namine entered the room, seeing Sora and Kairi sitting quietly on the couch. "Sorry about that," she said, setting two bottles on the coffee table in front of them before she moved to sit on the loveseat. "I didn't think it would take me that long." That, and she hadn't expected them to wait for her.

Sora shrugged lightly, his hand coming off Kairi's shoulder slightly at the movement. "Don't worry about it." He hadn't minded waiting, and besides, he was content with Kairi sitting so close to him and under his arm.

 

Kairi nodded a little in agreement with Sora's words. She and Sora had a small conversation when Roxas left, so they kept themselves busy. Plus, it would feel wrong to start the movie without Namine; it was just how it was, at least for Kairi.

Roxas walked in a second behind Namine, hearing the small talk as he approached the loveseat to sit next to his girlfriend. He sat himself down and instantly leaned back, finding comfort in the set of furniture. No cooking, no chasing... It was good to relax.

 

"You guys ready?" Sora asked his two blond friends, the teen lifting the remote in his free hand a little bit to show that he was asking about the movie. Now that everyone was here, he assumed that it was alright to start it.

 

Roxas lifted his hand that was on the armrest, giving Sora a thumbs up as a signal. Let the laughs begin, he thought contently. This day had gone well all in all, so a good movie would add to it.

 

Sora nodded and looked back to the television, glancing down at the remote when he pushed the select button. He set the remote on the couch beside him and then looked back at the screen, seeing the movie begin.

 

Roxas saw Namine's hand out of the corner of his eye, and he wordlessly reached for it with the hand that wasn't resting on the armrest. He set it on top of hers gently, a small smile coming to his lips at the touch. He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye as the beginning credits rolled, but then looked back to the screen to watch the movie.

 

Namine looked down, smiling softly when she saw Roxas's hand on top of hers. She only kept her gaze down for a few seconds, though, before she looked up to the screen in time to see the opening scene of the movie.
