[His throat feels really tight.]
[Its like a run back in time, when things were simple and he'd rush through his missions to get back first, before Axel could. Because then he could take the best spot, maybe even tease the redhead for being so slow, and then they could eat ice cream and talk about important things, or stupid things-]
[Just talk. Its only seeing him now that Roxas realizes how much he's missed Axel, despite the heavy hand of apprehension on his shoulders. It looks like Axel's expecting him, however, so what else can he do? He walks over and sits down, cloak in place as he looks over- up. He's always going to be looking up- at his friend and opens his mouth hesitantly.]

[The moment he hears the voice he was expecting, a grin worms it's way over Axel's face. Turning to face Roxas, he waves the hand holding his ice cream in greeting.]
Hey, Roxas. Beatcha this time, didn't I?
[He sits up properly to free his other hand, using it to ruffle the boy's hair. It's a well-worn gesture, one that will never grow old to him.
It really is a gorgeous day. Yes, it always is here, but- for some reason, Axel almost feels as though he hasn't seen one like it in a while. Maybe he was just in a good mood.]
YES, YES IT IS |3vacationisalieJune 11 2011, 02:45:48 UTC
[He doesn't even notice anything is wrong. It's just so-- cruel, to have to sit here and look back at him, have Axel ruffle his hair like everything's okay, like it always has been.]
[An ice cream simply appears in his hand, but Roxas doubts Axel will notice the apparent oddity. Right now Roxas could be sucking on sandpaper, and Axel's subconscious would likely twist it into being the norm.]
Yeah, you beat me...
[Just not really. He gazes off into the horizon, mind awash with thoughts of what to say, or do. He doesn't know the right way to take this situation- it hurts more now that his emotions are consolidated with Sora's presence. He doesn't want to hurt Axel.]
[But there's things that have to be said, questions to ask.]
Hey...
If something happened- if-
What would you do if-
[He bites his lip, frustrated. How to phrase this.]
If I left the Organization, to travel with someone important... and I was happy. [Happy...] What would you do?

[There is a little girl! She is staring. In fact, she is staring very hard, not at the ice cream (although it looks very delicious!) but at Axel. She shyly peeps at him when she thinks he's not looking, and then quickly makes it look as though she's focusing on the book in her lap instead.
[Ven'll just be hanging back, after the last week of dreams, he's not that sure of himself right now, and not that eager to approach a stranger least the dream turn into a nightmare. Plus, the light hurts his eye's a bit, and the shadows off a familiar comfort for the boy now.
Axel's more than welcome to mistake him for Roxas on first glance, but a second one will show how withdrawn Ven is.]
[He smiles widely when he spots the boy out of the corner of his eye, patting the ground next to him. It was a little odd that Roxas wasn't wearing his cloak, but Axel took no note, eyes sliding past the material and resting on Ventus' face as if all was normal.]
Hey, Roxas. What's up? You have a tough mission today?
..W-who's R-Roxas...? [Hell, Ven even sounds like Roxas, but he's not as monotone, though not as animated as he'd otherwise be. And he's not really meeting Axel's eyes, seeming to hug the shadows even more at the sudden attention.]
[Well. Needless to say, that gets an eyebrow raise. Roxas, asking 'who's Roxas'? Axel stands quickly, his ice cream still in one hand and dripping onto the tower brick.]
What are you talking about? You're Roxas.
[A fact so obvious that Axel can't help but snort and grin a little. Maybe this is just a really poor joke or something.]

[Sora's been here only a few times before, but he's never found his way up to the clocktower. Not until now, anyway. He has to say, the view is absolutely spectacular. It's worlds away from what he's used to, and Sora's seen quite a few worlds.]
[Still, he won't spend long gawking at the view because there is somebody waiting for him around the corner. Someone who Sora doesn't remember ever meeting before, but here, in this dream, he certainly thinks he has.]
[He approaches the redhead from behind, eyes sliding right past the coat and going straight to his face. Sora gives him a little wave as he turns to look.]
THEY ARE TWO PEAS IN A POD. burnamotherdownJune 11 2011, 14:20:38 UTC
[Axel waves back, a spot of ice cream jumping off of the stick to fly down over the edge of the clocktower.
Sora. It was who he'd been waiting for, of course it was. Axel's determination to believe this was so strong it almost seemed to permeate the dream, ever fibre of the place humming- Sora belonged here, this was meant to be happening, everything was as it was meant to be.]
Sora! What took you so long? I was starting to think you weren't coming today.
[He chuckles a little, eyes turning back to the sunset.]

So he waits for Roxas to get his words right, expression one of relaxed patience.]

Finally, she fails at keeping up the facade.]
Your hair is really pretty red.

Instead of ruining her little act for her, Axel waits patiently for her to speak up, occasionally taking small bites of his ice cream.]
Heh, thanks. You want one?
[And there's another ice cream in his hand, one he holds out towards Ami. Who knows where that came from.]
Reply
I'd really like it, if it's alright. But I don't have money with me.
[Which sadly, she assumes means she can't have the ice cream. People don't just hand it out, you know!]

That's alright. I wasn't expecting to get money back for it.

[Sora eyes that piece of ice cream and hopes no one's there at the bottom to catch that.]
[He sits down on the ledge and lets his feet hang over the side.]
Not like I can just slack off all day, like somebody else I know.
Reply
[He leans over to bop the kid lightly on the head, messing up those spikes even further.
Then, seemingly out of nowhere, Axel produces another ice cream, holding it out towards Sora. This was their ritual, after all. Right?]
You gonna take it out of my hands before it melts?
