When I'm with you... I become scared.

[fortuneprince]

Who: Naoto Shirogane (fortuneprince ) and Roxas (perplexme )
What: A confession
When: January 11, 2012 - late in the afternoon
Where: On the roof of building four
Summary: After giving some more thought to everything that's been happening, Naoto keeps to her word and has called Roxas up to tell him everything she's been hiding from him.
Rating: PG

[A kiss.  A kiss is all it took for Naoto to jump into a world of confusion and she finds to be frustrating as hell.  Day in and day out she's been unable to take her mind off it, mainly because she doesn't quite understand why she feels the way she does about it.  It's never happened before.  So what does it mean?

She has an idea but...

Naoto sits down on the edge of the roof, dressed in a coat and blue scarf.  Her legs dangle over the edge and she holds a cup of hot coco in her hands.  She would have talked to him in her apartment but she didn't want to risk Rise just walking on in in the middle of it.  That wouldn't be an issue if Naoto had actually told her what she was doing but...

No.  Just no.  She'd rather talk out in the snow.

Besides... being up high like this... it's a bit more comforting.  It takes away some of that nervous feeling that's been eating at her all day--but her tummy is still doing flips.  No matter how she feels though, she can't turn back now.  She can only wait for Roxas to show up now]

[God dammit] I-I apologize... It's just a difficult subject for me.

[perplexme]

...yeah, I know. I'm just trying to fix it.

[fortuneprince]

I appreciate it... [She takes a deep breath. Give her a second Roxas]

[perplexme]

Maybe we should just pretend this didn't happen.

[fortuneprince]

...That would probably be for the best...

[perplexme]

Is it going to bother you if that's what we do?

[fortuneprince]

[She smiles sadly] I'll get over it eventually.

[perplexme]

Okay, and what if eventually's not good enough?

[fortuneprince]

It will be. [She'll just bottle everything up]

[perplexme]

That can't be healthy.

[fortuneprince]

I'll be fine.

[perplexme]

No offense, Naoto, but I don't know if I trust that.

[fortuneprince]

[Naoto chuckles a little.] Why is that?

[perplexme]

Because it took you weeks just to tell me about it.

[fortuneprince]

I can see your point. But really... if this is what you truly want to do, then I will be fine. You have my word.

[perplexme]

I'm not sure what I want yet. Does that make a difference?

[fortuneprince]

A little. [It makes her feel a little better really. She didn't want him to just forget this.]

[perplexme]

Let me think about it, okay?

[fortuneprince]

Of course.

[perplexme]

...what can I do in the meantime?

[fortuneprince]

...Stay with me? [Fidget] A-As a friend I mean.

[perplexme]

...well that's obvious. Where would I go, anyway?

[fortuneprince]

Off somewhere to hide from me? [She's joking on that one]

[perplexme]

You know all of my hiding spots by now anyway.

[fortuneprince]

Do I? I didn't think I would know all of them--a good majority yes, but not all.
