I Want to be a Hero {KH Romance}

Cute and Innocent?*

~-~-~-~-~-~

The following morning was more awkward than I was anticipating. My fault, really... but also Blair's.

"Morning Rea!~" Blair sings as she steps out into the cockpit, clean from the shower she took after me. "Gosh, I didn't even feel you get into bed last night" 

I bite my lip. "I uh.. was up pretty late. You were out of it by the time I got into bed." Blair stares at me for a moment before disappearing down the hallway, returning with a pillow in her hands. What was she-

"LIAR!" Blair screams, smacking me on the face with the blue sheeted monster. I recoil with a dark glare.

"ME!? What about you?" I feel my teeth grind when I close my mouth "Did you just decide that telling Sora was what was best and then realize what an idiot you were when you were wrong?!" I would scream, but I don't need them to hear-- So instead, a sharp whisper spits out of my lips.

This time, Blair is biting her lip. "Damn.. he told you?" 

I sigh. "No, worse... he ignored it." She places the pillow down and sits across from me "But I heard you."

Blair sighs "Rea, I only wanted to see if he returned your feelings."

 I shake my head. "How hard is 'do you like her'? rather than 'HEY GUESS WHAT?! Rea likes you' cause honestly Blair, it seemed more like you're trying to embarrass me and ruin my friendship!" Blair brings the pillow up to her chest.

"I wasn't trying to do that at all. Rea, I want us to be good friends." she frowns "I promise, it wasn't meant to embarrass you, I guess I'm just bad with words. Bad at most things, really." Her soft pink eyes water up "I hope you can find it in you to forgive me." 

I sigh and close my eyes. "If you weren't so pretty or playing the tear card, I'd probably say no." I lean forward and lay my head on the dashboard. " I don't care anymore. Just.. Let's avoid spilling my darkest secret in the future, please?" 

Blair nods. "Have you ever... liked anyone before, Rea? You seem to be taking this badly." 

I snort. "No, not really. Maybe once? But it was mostly that he liked me, so it was nothing like this. I think I broke his heart more than he broke mine." 

Blair leans forward in her chair. "Who was he? What was he like?" I raise my head and stare at her for a moment, unsure where she's going with this.

"His name was Hikaru. He had really nice brown hair that kind flipped up in the front, and big green eyes." I think back "He was only a little taller than me because it was in 7th grade. He was pretty quiet, but friendly. He had glasses." I smile at the memory "And when I gave him a valentine, he confessed he liked me. I decided it wouldn't be so bad to let someone in..."

"You're blushing~" My eyes widen and I quickly turn away. "Aw cmonnn. What happened? Are you still together?" I cross my arms.

"Well, after Hana died-- uh, My mom, died-- I focused my life on Mikoto and making her happy, so I ended things with Hikaru." I'm not going to lie, Hikaru made me really happy. He was sweet, and remembered everything. He always walked Mikoto and I home from school, and he loved playing with my hair when we'd lay on the couch together.

"Wow, You're one hell of a best friend." Blair sits back in her chair. "So this break up wasn't that long ago... Are you over him?" I scoff.

"I was just in love with the idea of being loved... I don't think I ever really loved Hikaru." Blair gives a sympathetic smile.

"Morning!" Sora stretches in the cockpit entrance. "Whatcha guys talking about?" Blair gives an evil smile to me.

"Rea's lover, Hikaru. Their story is pretty cute and innocent." My eyes widen and I reach for the pillow Blair had hit me with.
