Say hello to the sequel of "Nothing More Than Friends?" which is entitled "Where Do I Stand?" you probably have to read (and review) the first.

Sora: I'm back, yay!

Roksas: Yep, it's the sequel!

Riku: If there's anything wrong, please don't flame, saying stuff like "You suck" or "Your story is really lame" because that's just mean.

Roksas: Yeah, it hurts the Roksas.

Naminé: Intelligent flames only, please.

Roksas: It's still Naminé POV, by the way. And I will never type fluff; it's too much sometimes and besides, I can't write fluff.

Summary: She thinks of him as more than just a friend but he doesn't anymore. Now that the tables are turned, why are the plates on this table are on the floor, broken?

Changes

Naminé POV

And everything changed the second Caitlin and Aunt Lexi step foot in Twilight Town.

I stay in the House more often now because I usually stay up late in there and Aunt Lexi doesn't like being disturbed when she's sleeping. Caitlin has to share my room while some hired help fix up the other guest room and until then, Caitlin stays in my room. The three of us gather around in my room during the night just to talk, but lately I've been skipping out.

My room was clean because we had guests (for almost a year) and I hid some of my pictures for the sake of space and all, but I proudly left the one I had with Roxas; the day with the Sea Salt Ice Cream incident. We had some hired help nowadays because Aunt Lexi hired them to work and clean our house, but I didn't like it.

I was right that Caitlin captured some hearts; Pence, my cousin Demyx, Seifer, Rai…the list goes on. Demyx, not really, but he likes her (he's my cousin from my father's side). I was pretty surprised Zexion and Axel don't like her, but I was inwardly relieved. But I wasn't so sure about what Roxas felt; I think he likes her.

That was what was bothering me so much.

See, I just realized something and now… I guess I was a tad too late.

Oh, who am I kidding? He likes her a whole lot.

And Caitlin likes him too, I can feel it, but she keeps asking me if his name was really Roxas or not. Seriously, it's annoying.

It was sweet of Roxas, though, when he once asked if he should stay in the House that night so that I wouldn't be alone. Not exactly alone; Superior lives there and so does Vexen, but that doesn't really matter. When I agreed, we spent the whole evening talking, one topic about my cousin Caitlin.

He thought differently about her now; like he thought she was sweet and nice even if he did admit that she was a little bit too girly for his taste. I was about to ask, "What about me?" But I dared not. I'm not one of those boy chasers.

Oh, did I tell you about the frame I made? It the one I made for the picture, if you know what I'm talking about. I painted the wood silver and I attached a thin piece of wood above on the frame, also silver, engraved "Friends." I couldn't resist adding some stars here and there, plus a small ice cream bar at the lower right corner. It may seem pretty old-fashioned, but I liked it a lot.

I showed the frame to Roxas proudly and he asked if he could have it but I stuck my tongue out at him; good friends, you know? I told him I didn't want to give him another one if I could make another one.

Well, that's the news.

I've heard some rumors that Caitlin likes Roxas and vice versa and whenever that subject would pop out, I felt as if I was freefalling down an abyss. I even asked Axel about it, but he assured me that they were just friends, although I do wonder if he's hiding something from me so that I wouldn't get hurt.

I was so agitated I even asked Roxas straight if he liked Caitlin and he said he didn't and that they were just friends. Where have I heard that before?

So now, I'm totally lost. I couldn't tell if they were just teasing me or what, or if the rumors are true. I was always the girl who'd believe most of the rumors and when I don't believe it, there's always this nagging feeling tugging me.

But if those two were to become a couple, I'd be very happy for them. I mean, after what I put Roxas through and what Caitlin went through with the Ven guy, although I don't know the story, they had a chance to be together. They are both nice people and besides, I want the people I care about to be happy.

Okay, I'll describe this cousin of mine: She's about our (Kairi and I) height with wavy jet black hair tumbling over her shoulders, which was usually pulled back in pigtails. She had amethyst eyes and ivory skin, which had tanned a little bit during her stay and a willowy figure that captured most boys. Caitlin was not just pretty, but she had a personality that would make people call her perfect, like she would help around here and there, she was smart, sporty and well-balanced; that kind of thing.

Next to her, I look like plain trash.

"Mind if I come in?" Someone rapped my door and I was pulled out of my thoughts. Pushing my pillow away from my face, I said yes. After all, it was Larxene.

She came in, sat down beside me on the bed. "Spit it out," she said a little harshly, her eyes showing otherwise. "You act like you want to leave."

I sighed glumly, sitting up straight. "It's Caitlin," I mumbled, playing with the bed covers and avoiding her gaze.

"She's one of those too-good-to-be-true girls," my friend said. "Don't bother with her!"

"But what about…" I let my voice trail. I ignored the tingling feeling on my face.

A few seconds of silence before she replied, "He likes you more."

"No, he likes Caitlin better. I look like s compared to my perfect cousin."

"You don't look like s; and he's just…well, look at what happened before," she pointed out. "You hurt him and he doesn't want to get hurt again. Besides, you're not Roxas so you don't know what he feels."

"You're not Roxas either," I replied sadly. "Ah, what does it matter? I was right that she'll have him around her finger anyway."

"Get out!" Larxene rolled her eyes. "He's waiting for you and you know that."

Sometimes I wish that would happen.

"He's waiting for Caitlin, you mean," I corrected.

"You have to talk to Caitlin," Larxene planned. "And then you ask her about Rox, then you'll know. Simple as that," she grinned smugly.

I shrugged, the corners of my lips tugging into a smile. "You got it," I said and gave her a big hug and she sent me home to begin my work.

As I walked home, I got thinking. Why did it feel like I was doing something stupid?

Maybe love makes you do weird things.

Even if the appropriate word isn't 'love,' it was 'like.'

I even skipped on the way home.
