Spoilers: Safety!Puck says: possibly, maybe, if you squint a little (end of CoM/very early in KH II) .
Notes: The POV and tenses in this piece had me banging my head while I was writing it, but I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

It didn’t take me very long to dash up the stairs to Naminè’s tower, which is great. I'm worried that if I wait too long I’ll chicken out, and I can’t let that happen- I’ll hate myself if I do. So speed's definitely important here, even though I have no idea how to go up to Naminè and say, “Hey there. I know we’re not supposed to have feelings or anything. But I was thinking, and I’m pretty sure we do. And I’m in love with you.”
But that’s probably exactly what’ll come out- it’s not like stressing out enough will make the right words pop into my head. That only works with music, and I am not gonna sing my feelings to her.
Well, I’d like to, but I know she wouldn’t appreciate it if I did. I’d tried singing about her once before, but she’d wrinkled her nose and told me to stick to the other Nobodies, instead.
Barely winded, I picked up speed by flowing along the even ground towards her door. It stood shimmering before me, not-quite-open but not-exactly-shut. Guessing that it was as good of a time as any, I flung the portal open-
--and stumbled into her twilight room, letting the words “Hey there” fall to the floor.
Xemnas watched me enter, sitting in Naminè’s usual chair. I can tell by his expression that I'm not going to like what I'm about to hear.
