Hey All. First story. It's a RoxasXNamine. I should be updating this regularly. Probably once a month. *FINGERSCROSSED*

Anyways, enjoy. This is dedicated to my friend, who is positively in love with Roxas.

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts or any of the characters in this story.



"Hey Nam," the brunette regular smiled at her and leant his board against the counter. "...The usual." He paused and looked around her for someone, before turning back to her and adding a "Please."

Namine nodded and adjusted the lime green cap on her head. She scrawled the order onto a sticky note, and slapped it onto the board behind the blenders. "Kai, Sora's here!" She then turned back and punched the order into the register. Her auburn haired best friend was suddenly standing next to her, admiring her shirtless boyfriend. He smiled lovingly at her and took her hand.

"Hey So," Kairi smiled back at him, her eyes never once leaving his face. "How's today?"

"Better," He rubbed his finger in a circular motion on the back of her hand. "Can I have my juice please?"

"You got it, coming right up!" Kairi let go of her boyfriend's hand and skipped over to the juice station. She bent down and pulled open freezer door of the mini bar fridge under the blending counter. Scooping up a cup of ice, she shut the door and tipped the cubes into the jug. Several scoops of ice cream, the best strawberries and a dash of yellow syrup later the blender was running smoothly. She pulled out a large Styrofoam cup, the 'Zoom Juice Shack' logo on the side, and left it next to the blender. The breeze blew in, and the cup fell over. Kairi resorted to holding it instead, as she gazed back to where Sora was waiting, but found that he was gone.

"Boo."

Kairi spun around and came face to face with the brunette who had leant over the counter, close enough to plant a kiss on her lips. Namine rolled her eyes and turned back towards the crowd on the beach.

The 'Zoom Juice Shack' sat about one hundred metres back from the shore line on the Destiny Islands. All throughout the day, thirsty beach goers would come past and buy one of the fresh zoom juices. The sea breeze would trickle in around mid afternoon, bringing with it the surfers. Kairi's boyfriend, Sora, would come past every afternoon with a happy smile and his board, and would order a Cupid's Kiss. The Shack's Cupid's Kiss juice was believed to strengthen the love between two people.

Kairi would make it for Sora every day, choosing the juiciest strawberries and pieces of watermelon, adding an extra spoonful of vanilla ice cream for his sweet tooth, and putting in several drops of the paopu syrup. A paopu shared between two people was fabled to keep their destinies entwined forever. He would repay her with a kiss, and a whispered promise that always made her giggle and blush.

It was summer holidays, and Namine and Kairi worked at the Shack nearly every afternoon, under the watchful eye of their boss Marluxia. The pink haired man met them around lunch time as they came in for their shift, and would then venture out to give free testers of the day's special. Today's special, "Berries of Bliss", seemed to be a favourite because nearly every second customer had come asking for it.

Namine stood watching the surf. It was about 4.30 and she could see Marluxia finishing up for the day, packing up his little stand and drinking the last few testers for himself. The sun was getting lower in the sky, and the clouds were beginning to tint orange. Digging around in her pocket, the blonde pulled out her phone, preparing to snap a photo of the beauty of the beach so she could draw it later. Namine straightened and ended up taking the photo of a very shocked blonde who was standing in front of the counter, waiting to be served. He was wearing board shorts and a black singlet, which was what she usually saw males wearing around the beach. His hair swirled to one side, and covered some of his forehead. Deep blue eyes watched her playfully. Namine immediately blushed, and lowered her phone. The boy smiled, leaned forward and grabbed her wrist. Rotating the view of the camera and turning the lens to face her, he leaned closer and pressed his cheek to hers.

"Cheese...!" He said, grinning, as he pushed a button. The phone beeped in response. He let go of her wrist, and leant back. "That's what you wanted right; A photo of me?"

Namine stuttered something, and sat her phone on the counter. "I was trying to get the sunset."

"Oh." His smile faltered a bit, but didn't fade. "Well, now you have something better."

He laughed - An adorable sound that made her smile.

"What would you like?" She asked. He wasn't going to be here for no apparent reason now, was he?

"Hm..." He put his index finger against his lips, and to a step back to look at the menu sign next to the register. "What about a Banapple twist?"

"Um...sure thing..." She pulled her pen out of the back of her ponytail, and reached for the pad of post its. He leant forward again and grabbed her wrist. She froze and looked at him.

"I want you to make it for me." He smiled at her again and then looked behind her shoulder. Behind her, Kairi was sitting on the top of the counter, lip locked with a still shirtless Sora. The blender behind her was still going, the Cupid's Kiss forgotten. Namine rolled her eyes and turned back to the boy.

"I suppose I could do that."

"Awesome." Still smiling, he went and took a seat on one of the green stools at the counter near the register.

Namine turned her back to the blonde and took a deep calming breath. This boy was just too cute. His blue eyes looked like they had been made from the ocean themselves. She felt like she could get lost in them if she looked too long. Making her way over to the blenders, she made sure that she turned Kairi's off first, before she started. Even when she flicked the appliance off, her best friend didn't notice.

Namine faced the blender and sliced some banana into it, followed by two cups of apple juice and a scoop of strawberries. Reaching down and opening the fridge, she pulled out the tub of vanilla ice cream and paused- On the top shelf, sat the star shaped bottle of paopu syrup.

Placing the ice cream up on the counter, she stared at the glass bottle. This boy was gorgeous, and she was seriously considering using the syrup to guarantee the boy's presence in her future. Turning her head slightly, she saw the boy leaning his elbows on the counter, his chin in his hands, faced towards her. His eyes, however, were looking out towards the shore. Sighing, Namine stood up and shut the fridge.

She scooped two scoops of ice cream into the blender along with the rest of the ingredients, and turned it on. Standing patiently, she watched the blending as she waited. Her mind wandered to the thought of never seeing the boy again. He was by far the most gorgeous boy she had ever served at the Shack, and he had an adorable personality too. His laugh made her smile, and his hands were soft as silk. She could definitely see herself with this boy.

Wait... what was she doing? She had only just met him, and she was imagining a future with him! Snap out of it Nam! He's just a random stranger. A random totally gorgeous beach boy who had smiled at her!

She pinched herself on her upper arm. "Ouch...okay...I'm good now." She mumbled to herself. Slapping her cheeks lightly for good measure, she reached out and flicked off the blender. The orange juice mixture smelt like summer, and went in smoothly as she poured it into the Zoom Juice cup. She stretched up onto her tiptoes and grabbed a plastic lid off the shelf above her. Lowering herself back down, she placed the lid next to the juice, before quickly squatting down and pulling the syrup out of the fridge. Uncapping the lid, she held the bottle over the drink.

She knew she was being slightly selfish, but she had to see this boy again. The amount of syrup ended up as three drops in total- "One for her, one for him and one for luck." She muttered as she picked up the lid again, and sealed it onto the juice cup. Grabbing the juice in one hand, and leaning over to grab a straw in the other, she carried the drink over to the boy at the counter.

"There you go." She said with a smile as she placed in front of him, inserting the yellow straw in through the gap in the lid. "Enjoy."

"Thanks heaps." She heard him say as he took a sip of the juice. "Ooh... yum..." The compliment made her smile and blush, ducking her head. Her fringe fell in front of her face as she tried to cover her embarrassment. She tapped the order into the till and looked up to find the boy standing right in front of her again.

"That comes to 150 munny." He put the drink on the counter and dug his left hand into his short pocket. He pulled out a 200 bill, and put it on the counter next to the juice. She grabbed it and put it into the till, and pulled out 50 bill change.

"50 change." She held it out to him in her palm. He smiled, and used both hands to close her fingers around it.

"Keep it." He winked one deep blue eye at her. "Consider it a tip."

"B-but...what for...?"

"Well," He grinned at her. "For being such a nice person, for letting me take a photo with you, for making such a delicious juice, for working here in the first place and," He squeezed her hand in both of his. "...for being so totally adorable."

Namine's face turned a deep shade of scarlet as the boy laughed, let go of her hand and picked up his drink again. She stuttered and tried to say something, but nothing would come. He called her cute! Her! Him! Cute!

"See you later," He smiled at her again, and took a few steps back. "...Namine." He winked at her, and then he was gone; heading down the footpath on his skateboard.

Namine was frozen. She stood like a gaping fish for a few minutes before snapping herself out of it. She patted her hair down, and wiped her hands on her apron nervously. She could not believe that that had just happened. Turning around, she found Kairi. The auburn haired girl was still sitting on the counter, except this time, she had he hands linked with Sora's as he whispered into her ear. She giggled and kissed his cheek.

Namine walked over to the forgotten juice and tipped it into the forgotten cup. She sealed a lid onto it, and stood behind her best friend holding the juice with two hands. When neither of the couple noticed her, she cleared her throat and the two jumped. Sora smiled sheepishly and Kairi turned to glare at her. Namine held the juice up as explanation. Kairi took it off her, and gave it to her boyfriend with a sweet smile. He laughed and called a "thanks" over his shoulder to Namine, who waved in response. Turning back to the counter, she saw that her pink haired boss stood there watching her. She laughed nervously as he smiled and waved her over.

"They're at it again?" He asked, not taking his eyes off the couple.

"When aren't they?"

"Good point." Marluxia laughed, and thrust something towards her. In his hand was her phone. "I found it on the counter. Be careful okay? Someone could come past and snatch it from you. Then you'd have a potential stalker." She took it off him and stepped back as he swung himself over the counter and landed next to her.

"Hey," Namine turned her attention to Marluxia, who was now leaning against the register. "You can leave now if you want. There's no one left out there and everything's just about done."

"Thanks." She smiled at him and pulled off the Shack cap. Reaching under the register, Namine pulled out her messenger bag and slung it over her shoulder. Putting her palms flat onto the counter, she jumped over it and landed on the path. Turning to wave at Marluxia, she saw that he was watching the couple from behind Kairi with a mischievous look on his face. She tossed her Shack cap over the counter, and it landed on one of the benches.

Laughing quietly, she turned and walked down the footpath towards her suburb. One of the many benefits of living close to the beach was that she could walk home after work. Her sandals slapped against the concrete as she walked, and she folded her hands in front of her, phone in one of them.

Smiling, she lost herself in thoughts about the blonde haired boy. He had complimented her, and even had a photo of him. Suddenly wanting to see his face again, she flipped open her phone and saw his smiling face and eyes on her screen as her background. Wait...she hadn't put that picture as her background...

Suddenly realising that she had left her phone on the counter, she blushed of embarrassment. While she was making the juice, the boy had probably programmed the picture as her background. Giggling slightly, she studied his face- His deep blue eyes, his cute nose and his soft looking cheeks. She loved his hair, which swirled in the same direction, looking messy, fluffy and perfectly styled at the same time.

The phone unexpectedly vibrated in her hand and she jumped, very nearly dropping the phone onto the ground. The 'one new message' alert appeared on her screen and she took a deep breath. She had just gotten scared for no reason. Now her heart was beating fast for no reason, and it didn't help when she opened the message.

From: Roxas

Who was Roxas? She crossed the road on to Twilight Ave and kept reading.

Hey, thanks for the juice. From now on, you're the only one that's going to be making it for me.

"Thanks for the juice..." She recited to herself. Abruptly she stopped walking. It all clicked. The blonde haired boy...was Roxas. Roxas was the gorgeous adorable blonde who had bought the Banapple Twist from her. Roxas who she couldn't stop thinking about. He had her number...

"Roxas..." She said out loud. She liked the way it sounded. She decided that she was going to see this boy again.


Well, there you go. First chapter of hopefully more than just this.

Review with what you think. If you don't, oh well. I just hope you liked it.
