[It's pretty late, and Roxas realizes there's a curfew, but...

Well, he happened by the ballroom and the door was open just a crack. Being who he is, he couldn't help peering inside the room, and naturally the moment he saw the ceiling he had to wander on in.

Or rather, it's what he can see beyond the ceiling that's got him downright mystified. Through that clear glass he can see the night sky, dark heavens dotted with stars like diamonds. It's enough to make him stand there in the middle of that dark, cavernous room; everything up there's so different and new and he can't help but wonder what other worlds those stars might represent]

He...said he wanted me to love him, but that I couldn't. I think it was something the city did, but he seemed so sad...and hurt.

...

[Drama, lil buddy, why you has so much?]

Can't force anyone to love anyone. No matter how much either one or both of you want to.

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I wish it'd been somebody else. Someone that could've helped.

He knew I didn't have a heart, and he knew about R-

[Oops, uh]

Er, that he was my friend.

Can't say without having been there, but might've been something no one could've done, Roxas...

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

... "about R-"?

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

N-nothing, I um. Guess I'm sorta tired too.

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

[Uh huh. Sus-pi-cious, Roxas. Axel narrows his eyes a bit.]

Yeah?

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Sorry, I guess I'm rambling.

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

[Have a headcuff.]

Yeah, alright. Just...

Well, if he was your friend, he'd understand. Eventually.

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

It's just that he never came back, so I never found out from him.

Other people, when they died...they came back after a while. He didn't.

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

... In that case, he'll probably turn up someday. Maybe even here.

[Chin up, Roxas. Have an arm-squeeze.]

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

...Maybe.

[He tries to smile, he really does. It's just sad around the edges]

keywords.

[:< Don't do that, bff. You'll make Axel think he's gotta put on his sadfaise, too.]

... Meantime, we've got some ice cream to catch up on. Heard we'll be docking at some port town soon. Gotta be a decent ice cream joint there.

aw bro <3

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

[Well he's trying, it's just been a tough matter for him]

You think so? Like that stuff you bought a while back?

[Might perk him up a bit. Sugsr and his bff ♥]

anytime, kid. ♥

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

[Meanwhile, Axel will distract him.]

Yeah, might have other stuff, too. You ever tried cookies and cream?

/idolizes, obviously

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

Cookies and...cream?

[He's thinking of cookies and really creamy milk now, bro]

Re: /idolizes, obviously

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

Yep. If we're lucky, might even be some cookie dough or paopu.

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

...Paopu ice cream?

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

Remember the beach we used to go to? There were some trees there.

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but they make ice cream with those?

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

They could.

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

Doubt they'd have that around here though.

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

Who knows? Won't know 'less we try.

You got other plans?

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

Mostly making sure you practice for swim class.

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

!

[Don't be like that, bff! :<]

What makes you think you could get me to?
