Thirty-Fourth Keychain-[Action]

[This is Roxas. This is Roxas running through the village in his boxer-shorts only thanks to Riku. Yes, this one is oh-so-affected, somebody please tell him to put his clothes back on?]

This sucks. So much.

...No, it's not.

I guess you two got started off on the wrong foot again, huh?

[perplexme]

Yeah that's about the only thing that's the same with him. If he would just listen to me...

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

About what? Everything that happened?

[perplexme]

In general. He's being stubborn.

[She's not sure she wants to go this route. Her voice is hesitant, and as lacking in insistence as she can make it.]

...Wouldn't you be?

[perplexme]

...yeah probably. I guess. That doesn't make me like it any better though.

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

No, I didn't think it would.

...Just give him time. He'll come around eventually.

[perplexme]

Yeah...maybe you're right.

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

....

[A laugh.]

I hope so.

[perplexme]

[grins a little more, obviously more comfortable now that he's not running around in his underwear] You usually are.

How are you? Settling in okay?

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

Mmhm! A very nice girl let me stay at her place the first day. I'm in my own apartment, now.

It's... kind of odd, living on my own all of a sudden. ...But I think I like it.

[perplexme]

Yeah? I was on my own for a while too before Axel and I decided to live together. I like living with him and all since we're friends but sometimes having my own space would be good too.

Anyway if you ever get too bored...you should come find us.

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

I can imagine. I'm glad you have a good friend with you.

...Hee. Be careful what you say. I might just take you up on that.

[perplexme]

It helps. I've got a few good friends here.

I wouldn't offer if I wasn't hoping you'd take it. I don't mind, and you know how Axel is. Don't worry about it.

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

That's... wonderful.

Okay, then. I'll keep that in mind.

[perplexme]

You realize I mean you too, don't you?

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

...!!

[perplexme]

...what? I thought we were friends by now, at least.

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

I-it's not that, I just...! I wanted to be friends, but I didn't know if you....

[perplexme]

...[tilts his head a little] If I...?

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

...Wanted to be.

[perplexme]

Why wouldn't I want that?

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

W-well, I mean, with everything that happened, a-and....

It's just... hard to imagine.

[perplexme]

I know, maybe. But we promised we'd see each other again, right?

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

We did. And I'm so glad that we did! But, I just... I never thought you'd actually like me, especially after all the trouble you went through.
