What am I supposed to say to this thing?

[10 seconds pass]

I'm Roxas. This is my phone.

It's just some stuff I was saving for a special occasion.

[Ideally it would have been good-special and not...whatever this is, but he'll roll with it.]

[feverpitching.livejournal.com]

Emergency tasty stuff for when we're not feeling so good, huh?

action;

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

[Roxas joins him in making a sundae. If the amount of ice cream corresponds to how not-so-good they're feeling, the two of them are in bad shape.]

C'mon, let's go sit on the couch with the cats.

[feverpitching.livejournal.com]

Okay.

[Xact considers chin-scritching to be one of Roxas' sacred duties, and Ven is close enough to count. He rubs his head against the boy's hand as Roxas sits down beside them.]

I hope this helps some...even if it's just a little bit.

action;

[feverpitching.livejournal.com]

It helps. Being here makes everything hurt a little less....

[Looking like Dad is a good booster.]

I wish I could do more. [He takes a giant scoop of whipped cream.] I wish I could just fix things.

action;

[feverpitching.livejournal.com]

Me too. Terra's my best friend and I can't do anything right now.

action;

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

There has to be a way to fix it.

But...I don't know what it is.

action;

[feverpitching.livejournal.com]

Neither do I. We have to talk to everyone, figure something out.

action;

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

Maybe it would help if we knew how it happened. I don't get it...he should have known better than to go anywhere near Xehanort.

action;

[feverpitching.livejournal.com]

He must have had a reason. But he never mentioned anything to me.... maybe Aqua would know.

action;

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

He was probably trying to protect you.

action;

[feverpitching.livejournal.com]

I know... he's always trying to protect me.

action;

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

You can kick him for it later.

action;

[feverpitching.livejournal.com]

Heh, I just might. Especially if he's going to keep getting himself into trouble.

action;

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

He'd be pretty lost without you.

action;

[feverpitching.livejournal.com]

You think so...?

action;

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[He swirls his spoon around his bowl for a minute before continuing.]

You should have seen him when he first got here, when he thought I was you. He was going crazy trying to get me to believe that I'd just forgotten everything, that we were best friends. I don't think I ever saw him act happy until you and Aqua showed up.

He needs you.

action;

[feverpitching.livejournal.com]

Thanks for telling me that.

action;

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

[Roxas nods and smiles back. He's glad he can give Ven even a small measure of comfort.]

No problem.

It was pretty silly of him, when you think about it. You and me--we look so different.

action;

[feverpitching.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, completely different. What was he thinking?

action;

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

He must not have been. I mean, think about it—my hair's at least a quarter of an inch longer than yours. It's obvious.

action;

[feverpitching.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...

Yup, you're right. Someone needs a haircut.

action;

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

Hey, no way. You'll just have to grow yours faster.
