Let's go home...

[windup_boytoy]

*a certain replica still has a Riku draped over his shoulders, carrying him back to the relative safety of family and home*

*it's been a very long couple of days*

*he'll hover over you worriedly then, his chest tight in fear*

Sora? Sora! Please wake up, Sora. It's us! We're here and you're safe.

*sighs softly, clutching his fist over his chest and wincing a little, before rolling over to curl against Roxas, because he feels warm and his scent is familiar*

[rocks-ass.livejournal.com]

*hugs Sora protectively, and impulsively wraps his own hand around Sora's, right over his heart* Sora? Can you hear us?

*looks at Ri a little helplessly, and still a little scared*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he doesn't know what to do either, hovering at the side of the bed, and hopes you can bring Sora out of it*

... Sora?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*wraps his arms a little weakly around Roxas*

'm okay, I think.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*is so very relieved once Sora speaks, some of the tension he was holding in disappearing*

... do... do you need anything? Want anything?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*tries to think, but snuggles closer to Roxas*

N-no... just... need to get warm.

*that's your cue!*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*it is? well, then, he casts about, pulling up some spare blankets to tuck them around you and Roxas and wondering if he should raid the linen closet for more*

Does this help? Do you need more? I can get them!

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*... well, that feels nice too, but he was hoping for more human warmth*

T-that's fine, Ri... why don't you lay down to?

*swallows thickly*

Where's... where's Riku at?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*somehow isn't surprised that you can tell the difference between him and Riku, even with how he is now, and pats your hair comfortingly*

He's asleep on the sofa downstairs. Do you want him? I'll carry him up here so you can all sleep together. I'll rest later.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*is fighting sleep and the desire to escape again*

I... yeah. And you sleep too. I... felt you. You've all had a rough few days-(hours? minutes? years?)

*and that's that*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*manages a smile for you and leans down to kiss your forehead softly*

I will. But I'll bring Riku here first. *he looks to Roxas and the little relieved smile is still on his face* Can you keep him warm while I lug Riku up here? You probably wanna rest, too.

*is downstairs watching the ferrets, looking up when he hears someone on the stairs and Ri comes down*

...well? Did it work?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*nods at you, heading towards Riku and gathering him up properly for lifting*

Sora's back to normal. But he's really tired. I need to bring Riku up to him.

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

*doesn't rouse as you move him, pretty much a limp, dead weight*

[rosa-moschata.livejournal.com]

*eyes Riku* He didn't move an inch since you left. He might as well be comatose.

...I can help you lift him. You look ready to fall over.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

He'll get better. He's just tired. And both he and Sora will rest better together.

... I can carry him.

*indeed he does pick up Riku bridal style in his arms, though he looks a bit wobbly*

[rosa-moschata.livejournal.com]

As you wish.

*is still a little weirded out that you don't seem ready to kill him if he so much as breathes on someone the wrong way; he follows you up the stairs anyway, to make sure you don't kill the both of you on the stairs*

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

*his head rests on Ri's shoulder until he wobbles, then it falls back and his mouth parts slightly; he doesn't make a sound when his head is cracked against the wall of the stairwell, even though that had to have hurt*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*flails when he hears that thunk noise, shifting one hand to cradle your head against his shoulder, and wobbling in midstep*

... you never make things easy for me.

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

*he doesn't does he? because that was him slipping in your grasp just now when you moved your hand*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he tightens his grip on you, trying his best to protect your body with his as he feels himself lose his balance because you're the important one and he needs to protect you and it doesn't matter if he gets hurt*

[rosa-moschata.livejournal.com]

*grunts as he catches you both, having pretty much expected you to fall over for ages already with how pale you are*

...good thing you had me here, hm?

*hefts you both because he's a Big Strong Man after practicing so much with that huge scythe*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

... I guess. Thanks.

*waits until you help him get steady on his feet again, then carefully arranges Riku against him again before making that march up the last of the stairs*

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

*is completely oblivious to the near brush of disaster and continues to sleep peacefully, comforted by the familiar scent and feel of you, and by the sound of your heart beating in his ear*
