Happy Rokunami week everyone 💙

~470 words. Romance, Fluff. For Rokunami Week 2021, Day 1.

Summary: Roxas surprises Naminé with a date on the beach.

“Where are you taking me?” Naminé asked. A blue and white blindfold was neatly tied around her eyes, and her hand was gripped in Roxas’s. At his request, she was wearing her cute new swimsuit with a sheer coverup and yellow sandals, and he was in a t-shirt and swim trunks. 

Ever since they’d gotten this second chance at life, she’d enjoyed getting new clothes and developing her own fashion sense. Shopping was like a world of choices to express herself.

And with clothes like these, there were only so many places they could be going. Roxas was being coy anyway because he loved surprising her. “You’ll find out soon enough,” he said, his voice lilting and teasing.

Naminé smelled the sea salt in the air and felt the breeze tugging at her hair. A moment later, sand crunched beneath her sandals. She took a deep breath and sighed. 

“The beach?” she asked, her heart speeding up because she couldn’t wait to see what he’d prepared for them. He said nothing, but the sound of the tide relentlessly washing against the shore was answer enough. She smiled as he led her along for a few more moments, then at last they stopped. 

“Can I take the blindfold off now?”

“Yeah!” 

Naminé gently tugged the blindfold off, and her breath caught at the beautiful sight before her. The sunset colors of Twilight Town’s sky were reflected on the water like a mirror reflecting a wizard’s cauldron. A few seagulls soared in the air, and tide pools dotted the landscape. She’d been to Destiny Island’s beaches, but Twilight Town’s beach had a magic all of its own. 

Especially because of what was waiting for them. A red and white-striped beach towel had been laid out with a matching blue and white umbrella. The perfect size for the two of them to fit comfortably next to each other. Next to the towel was a bottle of sunscreen, a beach ball, two pairs of goggles, shovels, buckets, seaweed, and seashells. A picnic basket with two bottles of lemonade was tucked under the umbrella too.

Naminé’s lips parted. “Did you prepare all of this for us?”

“I might’ve had some help.” Roxas squeezed her hand, and she smiled and leaned her head against his shoulders. He was always putting so much thought into their dates.

“It’s wonderful.” 

“What do you wanna do first?” he asked as he nodded towards the supplies.

She looked over them and thought carefully. “Can we make a sandcastle together?” she said at last. It was something she’d wanted to do ever since she’d seen Sora making sandcastles with Kairi in his memories. Something about it just seemed really nice, and she wanted to put all the supplies Roxas had carefully gathered to good use. 

A video I made that was supposed to be for RokuNami Week. And it still is!

But I think it sort of ended up more Roxas-centric.
