Kairi sighed shakily once she heard the knock at the door. Yeah, she was nervous. But... this wasn't like the last time he had come knocking at her door. No, this was completely different.
She hadn't even known Ulquiorra that last time. Not yet. And now, she had to hurry and figure out just exactly who it was she cared about the most.
It was a lot more difficult than it sounded.
There was Aloy, who had done so much for her to make sure that she was happy, and then there was Ulquiorra, whom she had done so much for to make sure that he was happy. Though, the former seemed to want an actual relationship with her more than the latter.
But who did she want a relationship with? Could she even have one with her job? Then again, if she ended up with one of them, they both had enough money to support her so she didn't have to keep doing what she did. But Kairi didn't want to have to rely one someone else to take care of her. She had done that before, and that nice couple had vanished into thin air

He slipped in, movements considerably more graceful than they had been, though still not quite as easy and smooth as they were before. He was getting better, though. At most, he estimated, it'd be a week before he could start training to get back to 100%. Not that he would tell any of his friends he'd be pushing his body to get back to where he was so soon after pushing it beyond its limits.
"Hey, there."
Smiling at her lightly, noticing the tension in her face, in her body language, X let the worry leak into his own body language. Not, of course, that he wasn't worried before, but now he was more worried than ever.
As soon as she closed the door behind him, his arms wrapped around her loosely in a light embrace, easy enough for her to pull away from if she wanted to, but tight enough to tell her he didn't want her to, at least not just yet.
Kairi was taken by surprise by the hug. After all, she was usually the one to initiate the hugs and surprise the guys, not the other way around. But after a few moments' pause, she lifted her arms and wrapped them around his neck, pressing her face against her forearm to hide her expression.
There wasn't a real reason why she was hiding her face. It was just... precautionary measures. In case he held her long enough for her to start thinking again

Those few moments she paused felt like forever for X, not knowing how she felt about what he just did, not sure if she would hug him back or push him away... or maybe just stand there. Somehow, the last option seemed almost as bad as the second to him, but, thankfully, he didn't have time to figure out why as her arms wrapped around his neck
