( [FILTERED: AU!Axel and AU!Riku] )

[Sora is looking around the room, obviously flustered and confused. He's on his hands and knees beside the bed, the Dalmatian-spotted Sphere hovering over his bent head]

Sergeant Tibbs? O'Malley? Are you guys under there?

Guys?

...I can't find the dogs or Kairi, either. Where did everyone go?

What'd that crazy captain do?

[Sora has successfully dragged Riku back from his studying---and only with one punch, too. They'd trudged back to the cabin in the snow, linking arms in order not to lose each other in the worsening blizzard. By the time they get back to the cabin, Sora's hair is thick with snow and ice, eyelashes crusted with snowflakes ( Read more... )

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]

[it's three in the morning, and Sora can't sleep. This is pretty usual for him, actually, and anyone on the Sphere network in the middle of the night might have caught him up before. His Sphere clicks on automatically, following him as he tosses and turns for a while, finally sliding out of the sleeping bag he'd been sharing with Kairi on the floor ( Read more... )

[Sora's looking for something---someone?---having made a hasty exit from Riku's room, where he woke up very adult and very naked. Awkward, yes, but at least he fits in Riku's pants, and can wear those until he gets back to his room]

Roxas? If you can hear me... [sighs, scrubbing his hands through his hair. He frowns at the Sphere]Everyone else ( Read more... )

[Sora wakes up with a start, sitting up in the little blanket roll---and out of most of his clothes, which are too big for him now. Frightened, he peers around Riku's dark room]

...where am I? Riku...Kairi...?

RIKU! KAIRI! WHERE ARE YOU? [tears start to well up in his big blue eyes---real fear blossoming on his chubby face. He hiccups, looking ( Read more... )

[Sora has...a lot on his mind, thanks to life being complicated, so the Sphere is recording him staring blankly at the grilled cheese sandwiches that he's making, not paying much attention to the smoke that has started to rise from the charred crusts]

[the Sphere is following Sora as he's running down the hallway, just barely managing to levitate fast enough to keep track. He skids around corners, yellow sneakers screeching, his keyblades in both hands and a panicked look on his face ( Read more... )

[savior of the universe? Today, he's more of an overtired puppy. After the last couple of days, he's crashed---twenty or so seconds after flopping down, belly-first, on Kairi's bed. He's snoring, Ultima clutched loosely in one hand still. His fingers twitch convulsively, small tremors pulling at his facial features. Bad dreams always hover close ( Read more... )
