I Want to be a Hero (Chp.19)

~-~-~-~-~-~

I half expected it to all be a dream when I woke up the following day, but much to my surprise (and joy) I awoke wrapped in Sora's arms. Whatever challenges faced me in this new world didn't matter, I felt stronger and more determined than usual. I realize that at some point--some day, we'll be finished with our journey. I don't know what day that day will be, or how far away it is, but it doesn't matter. From this day on, I'm going to enjoy the time I have with Sora. I refuse to worry; it just wastes my time and steals my happiness.

"You done in here?" My eyes fall from the mirror and over to the doorframe where Sora leans, a small smile on his face. Even with bed head, he's still the most beautiful person I have ever seen.

"Maybe not..." I close the cap on my eyeliner and turn to him with a smile "depends on whether or not you plan on getting undressed." He smirks and walks in, pulling off his tank top, but before he can pull down his pajama pants, I head out the door. "Eeeep! I was kidding!" I hear him laugh and he wraps his arms around me from behind. I laugh and turn to face him, either disappointed or happy to see that his pants are still on. "Go take a shower; I'll still be here when you get out." He sighs and gives a tiny pout.

"Fiiiiiinnne." He kisses the top of my head before closing the bathroom door and I let out a content sigh before heading over to my room, seeing Blair boredly lip syncing to Lady Gaga as she stares up at the ceiling.

"Morning!" I smile at her and she sits up, patting the spot next to her.

"C'mere." My smile fades and I take a seat beside her on the bed. She stares intensely for a moment before smiling "C'mon, tell me everything!!" I laugh lightly before telling her of the events from the mistletoe leading up to just now, and she smiles brightly, shaking her head at me. "You must be floating on cloud 9." I fall back on my bed and stare up at the ceiling happily.

"I floated by cloud nine, I'm in HEAVEN." Blair lies beside me and we both stare at the ceiling.

"What about when we have to go home?" I shrug.

"I prefer not to think about it. I just want to enjoy what little time we have together." Blair nods and stays quiet for a minute.

"And Kairi?"

"What about her?"Blair sits up.

"You're kidding, right? You really think Sora just forgot about her?" I sit up, smile gone and now feeling nervous.

"Well..no. I just thought that mayb-"

"Maybe he doesn't like her anymore?" Blair shakes her head "Nobody forgets about their first love that easily. I think you should talk to him about it, and see maybe if he's just coping with not having her around." I feel myself flinch and an aggravated look comes to my face.

"Are you suggesting he's only acting this way towards me because he misses Kairi?" she opens her mouth but I stand up "Funny, because him and Kairi NEVER kissed." I scoff and shake my head "Why would you even say that?" Her pink eyes stare in disbelief as I turn and storm into Sora's room, clicking the lock and doing the same to the other door before collapsing onto Sora's bed.

I was not Kairi. I looked nothing like her ( I think.. I've never seen her). I don't act like her (I think..). I'm Rea. Sora knows me as Rea, and he likes me.. He likes Rea.

He also likes Kairi. He killed himself for Kairi. He's searching the whole freaking galaxy for Kairi.

He'll go home with Kairi.

"Rea? You in there?" Sora taps on the door. "I'm only in a towel, and it's kinda drafty.. I'd like to get some cloths." I push myself off the bed and unlock the door for him, he looks at me worriedly. "Everything all right?" He places his hand on my cheek and I lean into his touch, enjoying the warmth of his skin.
