*it's a very nice roof*

[windup_boytoy]

*a certain replica has fallen asleep on the roof in a patch of shade, utterly exhausted and his school uniform looking a bit worse for wear since he's been running around and Doing Things and forgot to change out of it*

*is anyone going to notice him before he wakes up and starts running around again?*

*just happens to be peeking to see if you're up there, not having seen you in a few days, and hoists himself out onto the roof with you, his eyes trailing over dirt smudges and how pale you look*

Ri...?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*mumbles something and rolls over, flinching when some sunlight shines onto his face*

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

*sighs and makes his way over to gather you up carefully, opening a portal back into his bedroom so he doesn't have to try getting you through the window, and lays you on the bed before moving to draw the curtains shut*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*settles more comfortably when you close the curtains, some tension draining out and he curls up in his usual place on the bed -- a place he hasn't been sleeping recently*

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

*toes off his shoes, then tugs off your own to toss them on the floor in a pile before climbing onto the bed and give you a closer look, his hand brushing hair away from your face, noting the dark circles under your eyes that are worse than his own and wonders if you're as worried about Sora leaving as he is*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*makes a grumbly noise and rubs his socked feet together, curling up as tight as he can into a ball, trying to take up as little space as possible and maybe protect himself*

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

*scoots a little closer to rub your back, frowning as he wonders if you've lost a little weight or are wearing his pants, or if it's just him*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*might just be having a nightmare, as evidenced by him curling up more and biting his bottom lip so he doesn't make any sounds*

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

*runs his fingers through your hair, noting that it too needs to be washed, and tries to get you to unwind, laying down to slip his arms around you, one hand moving to find and link his fingers with yours, the other hand resting over your heart*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*starts to shake when you hold him, making a soft noise in the back of his throat like a wounded animal might make, but at least he's not trying to fight you off*

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

Ri... Ri, wake up. It's me, Riku.

*gives you a little squeeze, wondering if this is how he acts when he's having nightmares*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*starts to pant a little bit, his bottom lip bleeding from having been bitten so hard, and he starts mumbling softly, talking to his dreams*

... sorry... so sorry... 'll be good be better sorry 'ill learn please don't it hurts don't sorry my fault sorry sorry 'll be stronger no no don't 'll be good...

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

*mutters a Cure spell when he sees a trickle of blood at your lip, trying to think of a way to wake you without hurting you, since he doesn't think it would help with what he heard you say; a minute later he moves to sit up again, his hands reaching to start massaging your shoulders, trying to confuse your dream to see if it wakes you up, or at least lets you sleep easier*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*shivers when the Cure hits him, then his brow furrows in confusion because you're not hurting him why aren't you hurting he was being hurt whut*

*and he takes a deep breath and starts to uncurl*

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

*breathes a sigh of relief when you start to relax and massages more, working his fingers a the base of your neck to try and get rid of more tension*

Ri, it's me, Riku. Wake up for me? Please?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*makes a grumpy noise and swats at you half-heartedly, waking up anyway when he hears your voice calling to him*

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

*gives you a little smile*

Hey there.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*is still sorta half-asleep and fuzzy and confused, but manages to smile at you*

... Ri... ku...?

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

*runs his fingers through your hair again, giving your ear a little tug*

Where've you been, huh? I found you up on the roof.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*gives you a sulky look when you tug his ear, and rubs it*

Ow. I've been... where am I? *blinks and looks around, then tries to sit up once he realizes he's in your room* No. I have to... I didn't mean to sleep...

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

Ri... *gives your shoulder a push to get you to lay back down*

I don't know what you're up to, but surely you'll do better at it if you do get some rest? Really, you look like shit.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

I'm fine. You said I was asleep on the roof, right? I'm okay. I have so much to do.

*tries to sit up again, still feeling shaky* And I do not look like shit.

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

*rubs his face tiredly and pushes you back down again with a worried look*

Yes, you do. Whatever rest you got, it wasn't enough.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Do not.

*is feeling petulant and starts worring at your bedsheets, plucking little lint fuzzballs off the blanket*

I feel fine. Not tired at all. You're the one who looks like you need more sleep.

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah well, between Sora disappearing, then you, it's not like I can sleep. And someone asked me today if you were sick, because you looked it in his class today.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*hangs his head a little bit at the mention of Sora, his chest hurting, and knowing that you're probably feeling worse than him because you love Sora, and he just clenches his fists*

What are you talking about? *manages to keep his voice light* Sora will come back soon, since he'd never leave you. Him and Roxas are just bonding or... or shopping for panties together or something. No worries. You need your rest, since you and Sora will probably stay up all night reconnecting, yeah? Ha ha ha... he'll probably wear you out if you don't rest up now.

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

I... I know he'll come back. It's hard not to follow after him, to make sure he's okay.

*is somewhat glad for how long his bangs have gotten, because it's hard to lie when his eyes are showing and now it's easy to hide them with a simple tilt of his head*

I'm starting to get used to you having your own room, too.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

It's Sora and Roxas. Only the phenomenolly stupid would try to hurt the two of them, especially if they're together.

*he knows what you're trying to hide, and gives up just a little bit and hugs you around the shoulders*

It's for the best. You'll see. You won't even miss me, once Sora comes back. You two can have sleepovers again, like you used to before I came.

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

I know. Sora and Roxas together can probably handle anything.

*feels lost and he doesn't know why, just that he has this feeling of everyone he cares for slipping away and it makes him worried and tense, lonely even when you're holding him*

It probably sound weird, but I already miss you. You're right next to me and it feels like you're some place I can't reach.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*frowns a little bit and just hugs you tighter, since you need this*

I'm not going anywhere. I promised I'd stay, didn't I? Don't you believe me?

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

*turns and wraps his arms around you tightly, burying his face in your neck*

I believe you. I just. I wish you would try to take better care of yourself. So you can keep that promise. Stop putting yourself last so often... You really do look like shit, you know.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*rocks you a little bit, suddenly feeling sad because he's missed you too, but he won't give up... he'll make his plan work so everyone is happy and things will be okay again*

What are you talking about? I'm just fine. Though I probably need a shower.

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

*rocks with you, his fingers curling into your shirt and thinking yes, you do still smell somewhat like Maleficent but he's trying to not focus on that or he'll worry more and he just wishes there was something he could do aside from following the same pattern he's fallen into*

Yeah, you do smell pretty strong. And you're getting scrawny. I bet I could lay on you and you wouldn't be able to budge me.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*makes an indignant sputtering sound and squeezes you, nosing your temple*

H-HEY! What is that supposed to mean?! I took a shower this morning but I've just been busy! Unlike you, lazy ass. If I couldn't budge you, it'd be because you're getting chubby!

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

*sighs and slumps against you, not looking up*

Get some rest with me. Please? I'm so tired and you look like you are too.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he didn't plan on this, but you look so tired and lonely somehow, and he just keeps his arms around you and helps settle you against the pillows*

Rest, Riku. You need to sleep. *brushes his lips over your forehead* I'll... I'll be right here.

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

*pulls you close so he can rest his head on your chest, his eyes closing*

Promise me you'll get some rest, and finish whatever you're doing later?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

... okay. If I leave, it'll be to take a shower. Okay? I'll stay right here with you, so you can rest easy.

*threads his fingers through your hair and starts to pet it to help you sleep*

I just want you to be happy.
