Log: Incomplete;

[afleetingshadow.livejournal.com]

When; August 22 (or as I call it, stuck on you day)
Rating; PG for awkwardness
Characters; Nise (replica_memory) and Naminé (afleetingshadow)
Summary; Nise and Naminé got stuck like glue to each other, via the hand. Insert a lot of awkward talk, but the two have decided to skip off to the beach for the day. Good times, w00t.
Log;
Naminé couldn't stop looking at their hands, bound together not by choice, but by something else. It felt nice, or she hoped it did, because the silence was getting to be a little too much to bear.

Think, think, she told herself, trying to remember where the beach was. She'd been there before, but it was a little hard to remember.

"I...I think I know the way," she said, quieter than usual, and she felt embarrassed when she had to repeat it, her skin going a little hot. "Follow me...?"

Namine seemed a bit apprehensive, and at first he didn't realize why that was. Then it dawned on him that she was wearing white, and the reason... He wasn't going to let his mind stray there.

"Alright." That said he strode forward, walking into the water, albiet slowly. He'd never felt it before. It was...really different.

The waves lapped at her ankles, foam bright in the sun when the waves faded away. The sand was drifting and Naminé felt a little off-balance, but she continued through, letting a wave climb up to her knees.

"It's nice," she said quietly, as if she was afraid horrible beasts would be in the sea. She brushed her worries away, trusting, faithful that she would be all right.

"Yeah, it is..." Nise looked out over the water, trying to commit everything to memory. The way the air felt and smelled, by coolness of the water, wet sand under his feet...

The feel of Namine's hand against his. Even if that was something ephemeral.

This was one of the better days in his existence. One that wasn't a reminder of what he was or what he lacked. He was simply happy, and Namine seemed happy too. That...somehow made it even better.

Naminé smiled warmly at Nise's agreement, stepping a little bit ahead, his hand still on hers. A wave caught the bottom of her hem, the cloth sticking to her skin.

I wish this would never end, she thought, a little too suddenly. She gasped and blushed, wishing her mind hadn't run away from her like that.

It would end. She knew that. Twenty-four hours had become the standard, the expected. She would be separated from him, and him from her. It wasn't as if it hadn't happened before.

Still...

I wish this would never end.

When Namine smiled at him like that Nise couldn't help but smile in return. She didn't often smile like that, but...

He liked it when she was happy. It seemed as though everything in the world had to be alright if she was happy. Even if they were in some insane city that tormented people routinely.

Nise was glad the day happened, even if only because of a curse. He got to spend time with Namine, and he'd never seen her smile so much.

And when he thought about it...

She had the loveliest smile he could imagine.

Naminé had read about people's hearts skipping a beat. Now she wanted one more than ever, so she could feel that, too. Breathlessness and excitement, coiled up and warm, lay nearby her empty space of a heart. Dhe held her breath and then let it go. Maybe it was the same thing.

His smile...

This one wasn't anything like the others. She helped create it, helped see it born on his face. Just by smiling back at him. How many people had said it?

You should smile more.

...I should, she decided. No. I will.

For a few moments longer Nise stood there, simply enjoying things. He was surprised that he could feel so happy from such simple things. He'd believed that being really happy would demand a lot, but...

Just being there with her seemed enough.

He was fairly lost in thought when a rather large wave came and smacked them both, effectively drenching them. Nise's hair was promptly in his face as he regained his balance and coughed, though ended up laughing a little.

His clothes were just soaked, and his hair probably looked silly now.

One moment everything was calm and clear, like the summer sky. Naminé knew she could get used to it, being light and carefree and...

Saltwater suddenly surrounded her, cutting her thoughts short. Sand settled in her mouth and she spat it out, water running down her skin and...

Her clothes. Ruined now, soaked with salt, gone completely sheer in the sea.

Light...

She crossed an arm over herself, deciding that maybe the ocean hadn't been the best of ideas. Nise was wet too, his hair sticking to his face, but...

Naminé didn't feel any better for it.

After a few moments Nise brushed the hair out of his face, though still wet and persistantly clinging to him. He really didn't care too much about that.

However he realized after a few moments that Namine's dress was white. And when white clothing was wet it was...

Oh dear, his face was getting red. Don't think about that! He told himself, since that was not a good thing to think on.

No, it was rude. So he'd refrain.

"How about...we go dry off? We can come back again sometime if you like..." He wasn't sure if she would like to but Nise would be happy to go again if she did. "We can bring swimsuits then..."
