[Action] Day 34

Mar 13, 2011 03:14

[With a sigh Roxas found himself once more staring up into the afternoon sky, just staring as he watched for what seemed the hundredth time as the brighter oranges slowly bled into a deep violet at the edge of the horizon. The past week or so had just felt like a step back from any of the progress he'd been making as far settling in since arriving ( Read more... )

[It made sense- but it wouldn't change her feelings regarding it. She really just wanted them to be close together. Even if he needed time to himself, there was always just... cooping himself up in his room. Or maybe taking a day to wander the city instead. Something. Anything, she felt, was better than him living at his own place that felt like it was so far away to her. It wasn't like she could run down the hallway to see him, you know? And it was also that very lack of leaning into support... because she wanted to be there to support him. Just as she tried with Axel. And especially more so lately, after messing up so much with things- being so useless.

Regardless- the way he took things in stride was... Well, she shouldn't have been all that surprised. It wasn't like he hadn't known there was a history between them. She had freely admitted to it. It was just... so strange and. Difficult to believe, really. There, Axel hadn't any recollection and now here was Roxas dreaming about her. She nodded just a little. Vaguely. Still ( ... )

[It was a sigh she couldn't really blame him for emitting, really. Because she had felt the same. Everything about things between them... It was just so exhausting. Axel had his reasons, she knew. She understood that very well. But they were also reasons why they should be trying to reconnect and settle things. Because just idling about day after day. Well, that was one less day they had together. A day that turned into a week's worth. Several week's worth. It bothered her... as did the way he seemed to let things go as they were ( ... )

[It's dumb, it's silly, it's work that really he should do on his own. Or at least that's what he tells himself and yet, he couldn't help but to feel pleased with her choice to stay with him.

The issue with knowing that she was keeping things from him, while trying was a choice he figured he would respect for now. It had been established that they'd been friends for far longer than he could remember. So if it was one thing he'd learned from his time spent at least partially merged with his Other was that sometimes, you just had to have faith in your friends. So if that was the case, if she just planned to reveal things to him as the days and dreams wore on, he'd be fine with that.

So he clamors to his feet, stretching after having spent a little while sitting as he had and found he couldn't help but to offer something of a grin at her comment.]

Well, you know, it'd been a little half-hearted before. [He takes a few steps and glances at the window that opens out onto street level.] But I think I like it here. I mean, I don't mean to ( ... )

[It might have been work he felt should have been done all by himself, but Xion wouldn't hear of such a thing. As far as things were concerned... no matter how apart their memories were, the distance it created. She was still his friend just as she was Axel's. And she cared about him. So, of course she would help him.

She still didn't miss the slight unease though in the air. There were still so many things left unsaid. So much to cover, she knew. But how to come across it she couldn't really fathom at the moment. She really didn't... want to cause him pain. But she didn't want to lie to him, to hide things. When she thought about it... part of her told her with the way he reacted when he was in the city before- when he remembered her before outright. That if anything, he would only hold closer to her, but lingering uncertainty from the circumstances she had gone through in the city made her jaded ( ... )

[It doesn't take more than a few moments for the irony of his own words to sink in. To say he even put a half-hearted effort into cleaning the old town house was something no small part of him at least wished could have been accurate. But, heart or none, he still knew for certain that he felt -however little sense that would make to most better-learned people. And right now he felt that he just didn't want to be alone. At least not for awhile, not while so much was just shuffling around in his head.

Listening to her approval brings a grin to his face, then extends it a little bit with her comment about the bed. For some reason, it was almost entirely amusing how she seemed to try and look out for him so much when there was so much about them that he didn't know.]

Yeah, the floor is pretty uncomfortable, even with a few blankets.

[He's not entirely hoboriffic. He bathes, the water runs in this place, the water heater works and all the utilities function... it's just really dusty because it hasn't been cleaned properly.He takes a ( ... )

[If she caught the irony herself, she didn't exactly plan on saying anything. Something about doing so when her own situation was different... It wasn't fair to him. How she had one, false as it was, while he didn't. He made things easy to forget though, especially with that smile he flashed. No kidding, the floor was uncomfortable, Roxas. At least when she hadn't been able to take down that Heartless and gone keybladeless, she had found reprieve in the soft grass rather than solid floor boards.

It's still dusty as all hell, man. She sees those cobwebs in the corners and all.She watched as he looked around a moment, following his gaze. The house... really was pretty big. Kind of complimenting Sora's tastes subconsciously, she realized and it made her blink... and then look down a moment as something else hit her. As maybe... Maybe it was a gesture to something else. Maybe a quiet hope. Like maybe one day they could all live there. Or maybe she was just reading too into things. For the time being, she brushed off that thought, ( ... )

[Honestly, once things were properly mended between all of them, he'd probably like that a lot. To have his closest friends under the same roof as him -to have that sense of family that the books he'd read in Hiberna so often talked about. It'd certainly be nice in any case. But as things stood, there was a rift between them -mostly between himself and Axel at this point, the redhead apparently being somewhat predictably stubborn in trying to talk at this point. But on a positive, at least Xion was proving to be willing to mend things, as peculiar as their encounters had been ( ... )

[Stubborn... but stubborn with reason. And Xion? She could honestly see why to some extent. How hard it would be to get close to Roxas again. But then... be torn away once more. It was a fear she quietly shared, too. But the truth was... that as things stood, being there for him and making him happy just as she did for Axel. That outweighed that fear. Still, whether or not she would ever voice her own affinity to it was another question.

For the moment, she was taking a scan around the kitchen. It honestly was more varied than the one she was familiar to. More cupboard space, definitely. And a larger fridge. The counter space, too, was ridiculously generous. Xion examined it a little longer before noticing that Roxas had slid a bag her way. Opening it, she took up the spray cleaner- studying it only a moment.]

...Oh. This is the same thing Ila and I used. [When she had helped him clean up his apartment. That made things easier. She nodded to herself. And then Xion dug in the bag, handing out a sponge to Roxas and grabbing one for ( ... )

Don't worry about it. notquiteanobody April 10 2011, 10:30:14 UTC

[Of course there were almost always reasons for everything. In truth, he worried that the next time he dozed off he'd be in a completely new world, without his friends and having to face whatever hardship awaited him there alone. But he was starting to get the picture -maybe from their Other or perhaps from the things he read, but he'd gotten the notion in his head that if he didn't try to make things happier, to work hard for that better ending where they could all be together, nothing would change. And that would be far worse than reuniting and then being pulled apart ( ... )
