"Here, Sora." An image of Kairi and Sora being closely together was shown to him, their faces pressed together to resemble kissing. "This is what you wanted?"
♕ - ”Huh? For me, Namine?” Color him interested. Gifts always came as a off-guard yet ultimately present surprise. The fact she’s thinking about him is enough to prompt a kind smile as he takes the parchment into his hand. Knowing her dedication to his craft only made him all the more curious to what could’ve been made. Flipping the image around, he turns in order to properly inspect the piece--
Only to use every bit of his willpower to not go and accidentally stab his fingers through it.
A full, overly conscious and outright shocked shiver blew through Sora’s entire being as he nearly went bug eyed at what was presented. There the two was of them-- Sora and Kairi sitting on a paopu tree, apparently making statement to the world by ‘smashing’ their faces together. With the precision of a whip snap and enough to give his neck whiplash on top of that, his neck tilted to and fro repeatedly, trading stares between the drawing itself and the daring artist that aimed to extend her horizons. Outright, nonsensical babble spilled from his lips as the weight of it all piled in. ..What did she know? Just how much did she know!? THIS WAS THE GIRL WHO PARADED IN HIS MEMORIES ONCE UPON A TIME RIGHT?
...........
"N.. Nananana... Namine..” Sora softly spoke, fighting through the tirade of wanting to scream, hide underneath a couch or just roar how the inspiration for this piece came to be in her face. No, this needed the gentle approach, this here was a girl new to the ways of life and likely just going off whatever compelled her hand in the drawing arts! So why!? Why did the idea of him and Kairi smooching it up manage to win 1st place?! That’s only supposed to be winning first place in terms of thought leads in his mind!?
“Sooo... I uhhhh, errrrrm..” He slides a bit closer, face erupted into a shade of crimson as he held the picture up before her eyes.
“What in the world sparked you up to draw this here!? I.. Me wanting this isn’t supposed to be the issue! I mean.. I.. wait- are you tryin’ to get something out of me!?”
“How did you know I wanted to go for this outright!?” Can his heart PLEASE stop beating in his ears like this!?
