Day 29: Arts & Crafts Room

[arc_wrench]

Arts and Crafts. Why in the name of all things sane and logical had that blasted nurse decided he looked like he'd enjoy Arts and Crafts?! HK made his irritation known very loudly and at great length to the meatbag, who persisted in her belief that he'd feel better after a chance to creatively express himself

Kairi watched with silent curiosity as Naminé moved around the room grabbing what she needed, and when she returned with the string, she couldn’t help but smile.

“My string?” the red haired girl asked, a soft blush creeping on her cheeks. She really had no clue … though she did know that the drawing in the secret place had been finished … with the two sharing a paopu fruit …

All at once, Kairi lifted her hands up and placed them against her cheeks, as if trying to block the soft blush that had started to turn her face pink. “I … I don’t know, really. It’s nice to dream about who it could possibly connect you to though, right?” once Kairi was sure her face was back to normal, she giggled and reached for the string herself, cutting off a piece as she spoke. “Maybe we’ve already met the one for us? Maybe not. I guess only time will tell …”

Suddenly, the girl lifted her head up and looked at Naminé with a big grin. “Hey, why don’t we have matching string? So until we find the other end of our string holders we can match? It can be like a friendship ring!”

A friendship ring! Naminé never had anything like that before, so she was more than happy to go along with Kairi's suggestion. It made her really happy, actually, because this was the sort of thing Naminé always wished she could do; just sit down and talk with friends. Of course, this wasn't exactly the way that Naminé wanted her wish granted, but... she supposed complaining wouldn't have done anything.

"That's a wonderful idea!" She smiled, cutting some string for Kairi as well. They were of similar height and size, so she figured that the same amount she used would be enough. Naminé held Kairi's string up first, motioning for the other girl to put her hand forward.

"Here, I'll tie it for you. And then, maybe you could help tie my string on?"

Kairi was elated to see Naminé’s excitement, and she nodded her head when the blonde brought up the idea of tying the string on. “Okay! I like that idea.” Letting out a giggle, the copper headed girl lifted her right hand and stuck out her index finger, giving Naminé easy access.

The once princess kept her eyes on the blonde as she tied the string around her finger, that smile once again crossing her lips. “This’ll also mean that we’ll be together forever, okay? Because … well, we will be. And hopefully we can help each other find who we’re destined to be with.”

Kairi couldn’t help but wonder if there was … a way for Naminé to stay as she was forever, and yet also for some way for Kairi to give some of her heart to her as well. She knew she was going to be lonely when Naminé was gone, and her smile faltered slightly for a moment before once again growing.

Naminé was careful to tie the string not too tight, but not too loose. The edges were very frayed from her hacking at it with the scissors, but in the end, she managed to get the red string neatly tied on Kairi's finger. She smiled up at the redhead when she was done, nodding to Kairi's words.

"Of course we'll always be together. And I'm sure we'll find the people we're meant for," Naminé agreed, although...

She realized that once they got out of this place, Naminé would return to Kairi. It was just the way things were, after all. Being completed was better than going back into the darkness, so she had been content, even willing to go along with her fate for the longest time.

But now, she realized... Only Kairi would have the time to look for the person on the end of her string. Naminé, in retrospect, probably didn't even have one, not being a proper "person".

Naminé knew this all along. So why... did it hurt?

Before she allowed Kairi to tie the red string on her finger, she took Kairi's hands into her own and stared at her other half with a meaningful look.

"As long as you find the person on the end of your red string, then that means the both of us are happy," She smiled, and then she let go and pointed her finger out so Kairi could tie the string on.
