You guys. You guys, listen. [Sora grabs his Sphere, holding it close. He wobbles a little to the side] HEY. YOU GUYS.

I love you. All of you.

Even Axel.

YOU HEAR ME? I LOVE YOU GUYS.

[thank Rangiku. She spiked his hot cocoa---all four cups---so now our intrepid hero is preeeeeeetty tipsy]

I'm sure the other Axel will be happy to hear it.

[dawn_is_coming]

Nooooooooo...not him! You!

[conniving_flame]

I'll pass.

[dawn_is_coming]

YOU DON'T GET TO PASS ON LOVE.

[conniving_flame]

I'm just thinking Riku could use my portion.

[dawn_is_coming]

I GOT LOTS AN' LOTS FOR HIM ALREADY.

[conniving_flame]

Try not to smother him.

[dawn_is_coming]

[shock and horror! his eyes round, curious]

Can you, like...smoosh someone if you love 'em too much?

[conniving_flame]

Depends on how much lovin' they want. If Riku doesn't want that much, you might smoosh or drown him.

[dawn_is_coming]

[NOW HE LOOKS A LITTLE TERRIFIED]

I DUNWANNA DROWN HIM!

[conniving_flame]

Then you might wanna lay off that love. Give him some breathing room, kid.

[dawn_is_coming]

[heaves a sigh]

But if I let 'im go, he'll run away.

[conniving_flame]

He's more loyal than that.

[dawn_is_coming]

Still get scared. I don't like fightin' with him. We never used to. [hiccups]

[conniving_flame]

[such a chatty drunk. then again, Sora is always kinda chatty]

Things change. [shrugs] Just keep an eye on him or something.

Or get a leash.

[dawn_is_coming]

[don't get him started, Axel, or he will start pouring out the most dire secrets of his nubile young heart]

I could jus' put superglue on his study desk's chair. That'd work.
