Antiseptic

By .kittykute

A/N: MEH! Major writers block on This is What Happens When Love Gets In The Way. While I was reading more RoxasxNamine Fanfictions, I stumbled across this one and got an idea for it.

I'm NOT discontinuing my other work, though.

"Sniff, sniff," she huddled closer to her sweater. The cold autumn wind seemed to blow right through the heavy fabric.

Namine stood up to go inside when she heard the sound of wheels rolling across the pavement. She turned.

Hey, isn't that that kid in my homeroom that's always late after lunch? She wondered to herself. Yes, Roxas was the teenage heartthrob the girls when crazy for at school. His skateboard was his life. Skating up and down the sidewalks at lunch with his friends, Sora and Heyner while Demyx and Axel came up behind them on bikes. Twice had he knocked her down and continued to roll on without saying sorry.

"Oh, don't worry about it Namine," Her best friend Kairi soothed. But Namine knew she had designs on Roxas's cousin, Sora. True, he was cute but he wasn't exactly the smartest cookie in the jar. Roxas, on the other hand could carry out an intelligent conversation for at least an entire period. Namine smiled while Kairi stayed on the phone. Namine had been secretly drawing Roxas on is board for the longest time now. She didn't think that she liked him, but he was sure interesting to draw.

"Namine? What are you doing? Sketching?" Kairi asked, Namine out down her sketch book and smiled through the phone.

"Nah, so did you get your Socials done?"

Roxas came roaring up the street while Namine sat down on her porch swing that hadn't seen a lick of paint for years. His spiky chatlin hair was almost a golden yellow as the sun hit down on it, making it seem darker. Their eyes caught for a second, wavering Roxas's attention. His board caught a rock and he stumbled down on his shoulder, the momentum carrying him across the cement, tumbling and finally stopping. Namine gasped and stood up.

He wasn't moving.

Abandoning her sweater and sketch book, and jumped all four familiar steps and ran for Roxas's motionless body. Once she reached him, he had begun to stir. His arms and face were covered in scratches and pulled skin Namine fell to her knees, scratching her own knees.

"Roxas, are you alright?" His beautiful eyes opened up and stared at her, it was if he was looking straight past her.

"Roxas?" She asked again, she felt tears swell in her eyes. Tears? Why was she crying for this heartless fellow pupil? His eyes widened in shock.

"Where's my board?" Namine shut her eyes and smiled sympathetically.

"It's by the curb, are you ok?" He says up and noticed the pretty blond over him.

"Yeah…" He answered and stood up. He limped over to his board and picked it up and groaned as he came up again.

"You know what? Come in… I'll fix you up." It was more of a question then a command. He turned around and laughed in her face.

"Aren't you one of those possessed fangirls of mine? Sorry, but I've had my share of groupies for a long time." He continued to walk along to the side walk and started to limp in the opposite direction. Namine knew how to deal with him.

"Fine. Bleed to death, see if I care." She turned on her heel, making her hair fan out behind her. Sure enough, he sighed.

"Ok, maybe I need a band aid or two." He gave in. Namine walked up her steps and held open her door for him to come in.

Namine's house was pretty old, her grandparents owned it. Her mother was up stairs in her study, she had her soothing music blaring so loud she couldn't hear an atomic bomb drop. Namine sat him down at the kitchen table as she reached atop the fridge and grabbed the first aid kit. Her older brother, Cloud walked in. He took a look at Roxas and mumbled;

"Bringing home another lost puppy, Namine? What did Mother say last time?"

"Mother needn't have known if you hadn't opened your big mouth, jerk." She retaliated quickly, Cloud seemed impressed and went into the fridge for a pop. He left without another word.

Namine filled the kettle with water and put the tweezers in a bowl to sterilize. Roxas stayed quiet as she unpacked the First Aid Kit and took out cotton balls and antiseptic for the cuts.

"Is… it gonna hurt?" Namine took a look at him. The kettle boiled.

"Yes, it's going to sting but at least you won't have to get amputated." She spoke as if he was a three year old. She poured some hot water into the bowl and waited for a minute. She dumped the hot water and dried the tweezers off. She sat down at the table and poured some antiseptic into the same bowl. Namine fitted a cotton swab into the tweezers, dipped it and told Roxas to put out his arm.

"Take a deep breath," He did as he was told and Namine started to swab his cuts over with the cotton ball. He bit his tongue until it was over.

"So, aren't you supposed to be some expert skater? Why did you fall?" Namine was wrapping his arm in clean gauze.

"I was looking at you…" He mumbled, Namine laughed and secured the gauze with tape.

"Oh really? Are you being truthful or are you just covering for yourself?" Roxas took his arm away. She was finished with him anyways.

"Thanks for the first aid." He grabbed his board and walked out the door. Namine followed him out, and just as he walked out the screen door, he turned around as quick as a flash and kissed her on the lips. His lips tasted of blood and salt but she didn't care.

It was blissful.

When they parted, Roxas gave her a thumbs up.

"Make sure you don't tell my girlfriend I just did that."

"You have a girlfriend?" Her heart sank.

"Yeah, but when you meet her, make sure you tell me her name." Namine laughed and watched as he skated down the street and out of sight. She sighed in content ness and shut the main door.

"ROXAS AND NAMINE! SITTING IN A TREE! F-U-C-K-I-N-G!!!" Cloud chimed from atop the stairs. Namine turned around and threw the tweezers she wielded in her hand.

"GO AWAY!!!"
