It's a bird! It's a plane!

*it's a replica sleeping on the roof again, but he really didn't mean to fall asleep up here -- someone come and bother him*

*he's crawled up onto the roof after falling down four times man you're a heavy sleeper, and is just watching you, his eyes glazed over with feelings(?)*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*well, it's the middle of the day and he's always the most tired when the sunlight is brightest; he's gonna curls up alittle more in his patch of shade*

[yksxsseldne.livejournal.com]

*he's kind of debating on waking you, but you look so perfect and beautiful and peaceful, that he's reluctant to touch you*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*don't worry about that because soon enough there's a sound like someone thumping hard on an inside wall, which wakes him up*

Ri! Ri, honey, I know you're up there! I need you to go to the store for me!

*and he yawns and gives himself a stretch before rolling to hang his head over the side of the roof and call back down*

Are you gonna cook dinner soon? I thought you said I didn't have to do anything today!

[yksxsseldne.livejournal.com]

*he stays perfectly still, his eyes wide open as he listens to you talk*

*Ri. Just like in his dreams.*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he continues to bicker for a bit, then finally nods and rolls back up onto his feet*

I'll get the groceries! But you have to make those little biscuit things!

[yksxsseldne.livejournal.com]

*he feels almost giddy with hope(?) and gives you one last look, before laying back on the roof, getting ready to disappear into a portal*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he stretches again, scratching his belly when his shirt rides up, then hops off the roof to head to the store*

Don't worry, mom! I'll ask Sora if I see him!

[yksxsseldne.livejournal.com]

*he knows me!*

*and instead of sinking back into the darkness, he instead bounds down from the roof to watch you again for just a moment, a smile crossing his lips when his bare feet hit the sands*

I... I'm right here!

*and he smiles brightly, his Heart thudding painfully in his chest*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he blinks when he sees you, squinting in the bright sunlight, then smiles*

Sora? I didn't know you were coming by today. I thought you were bumming around the beach.

[yksxsseldne.livejournal.com]

Oh, well see... I didn't really have time to bum around-hey, wait! You knew I was coming here? I didn't even know I was coming here. And when I get back, I'm going to be in alot of trouble.

*walks up so that he's closer to you, looking you over and memorizing your features with a Very Happy Smile*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he scratches his head, a little confused, but just writes it off to you being very Sora*

No, I didn't know you were coming here, that's why I asked. But I'm glad you are. ANd why would you get in trouble? Skipping out on chores?

[yksxsseldne.livejournal.com]

*blinks*

Well... I wouldn't call them chores exactly... He runs diagnostics the same time every day, lately. He said I was very yappy and that if I didn't behave he'd make it so I couldn't talk.

*says this all very calmly, and still with a smile on his face as he fidgets with the plain black pants and shirt he'd stolen from the Castle for the occasion, not knowing what the weather would be like*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*okay now he's really confused, and he eyes your clothes, giving the sleeve of your shift a little tug*

Trying to make a statement? Or is everything in the wash? I don't think I've seen you wear pants like that before.

[yksxsseldne.livejournal.com]

*smiles*

They aren't mine. I don't know who they belonged to... but they're the only ones that fit.

*turns around and lifts the back of his spikes to show you a white 'XIII' on the collar*

That's all they say. All of them have them. I mean, different ones.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he just stares as he processes this information, then grabs you by the arms, inspecting that tag and frowning and now very worried*

Sora! Who gave those to you?! Was it Marluxia?!

[yksxsseldne.livejournal.com]

*looks confused*

Marlu... M-what? No, no one gave them to me, I just found them in one of the closets.

*bites his lip, looking very much like a cornered puppy now*

I-I stole them. I shouldn't have stolen them. Please don't be angry, I just didn't want to visit and maybe get wet and rained on and get sick because then he'd know I sneaked out and get punished again! I-I won't do that again.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*oh shit*

*he doesn't want to believe the little things that are lining up in his head, but he draws you close anyway, pressing his nose down into your hair and taking a deep breath... and he smells you and Darkness and slides one palm over the center of your chest*

... Sora...

[yksxsseldne.livejournal.com]

*he has to take a deep breath when you touch him, because you're warm and soft, nothing like probes and needles and knives and fists, and he wraps his arms, shaking, around your waist, feeling safe for the very first time*

Yeah. Sora.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he holds you back tight, trembling faintly as he lets himself feel and realize that you're Sora, but you're not*

... I'm going to kill Vexen.

[yksxsseldne.livejournal.com]

*blinks, and clings to your shirt, thinking you probably know best, since he practically dreamed you to life and all, but...*

No... don't kill him? He told me he isn't... he hasn't finished yet.

*shrugs and looks into your eyes*

Well, I'm happy either way. To find Something like me.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Finished what?

*his rage against Vexen grows -- only he could've made you -- but then he looks down at you, his expression going soft as he brushes your bangs out of your eyes and cups your cheek*

Listen. Listen, you can't come back here again. Okay? It's not... there might be problems. Are you staying in Castle Oblivion? I can go to you there instead.

[yksxsseldne.livejournal.com]

*thinks, trying to remember all the big words Vexen used, and settles for simplified Sora-terms, seeming entirely unconcerned that he's an experiment, just happy to be here, in the sunlight and the sand*

My Heart's still wonky. But he's not sure exactly what's wrong with it, even if he'll never admit it. He needs more data. And then I'll be perfect.

*seems very upset that he can't come back*

What kinds of problems? I won't stay long. It's just...

*looks towards the shore and the ocean, his expression awed and longing*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he has to debate with himself for a long moment, beating down that rage against Vexen so that he doesn't worry you*

Oh. Well... I guess you can come back, but... at night? I'll pick you up. I'll take you to the beach. It's pretty in the moonlight.

[yksxsseldne.livejournal.com]

*is clearly relieved, and crushes you in a hug*

Okay! Only at night. And I can meet the 'other you'? Vexen mentioned him, but I don't know him.

And I live at the Castle, yeah. Fourth floor, sixth room to the left. *scratches his head* Well, I think so... I... don't think I'm so good with directions?

*smiles, his Heart swelling with hope as he steps backwards away from you*

I'm so happy. I dreamed of you.

*and that's really all he needs to say, slipping through a portal back to Oblivion with a warm expression*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*and he just stands there for awhile, in a complete daze, still not quite sure how all of this happened, or what to do, or if he should tell anybody about what just happens*

*and he's even running on automatic as he goes to get those groceries and brings them back, then climbs back onto the roof to brood*
