                    he had many perceptions of sora throughout his entire time of getting to know him; initially they were almost all negative, about a boy who seemly had the life he could never hope to have, just a foolish’s dream to obtain. all because of the laws and rules of the universe. yet he had worked hard for so long, tirelessly searching for ways to bring him back into the world; not everyone had that type of compassion or dedication, but it was evident he wasn’t like any other person. he hadn’t ever gave up. a boy chosen by the keyblade ( as they both were ) two wholes, yet separate at long last. for awhile he felt like he couldn’t been his own individual because of him, leading to many spiteful emotions in the past — but, it was thanks to sora’s efforts that he could finally start to feel like his own person. he was a shining light, his destroyer and savior almost in some ways. in an ironic twist of events, he’s become indebted to him and his efforts to separate themselves. proving that indeed, all this time, he was his person with a heart unique to only him. 

                   so, the obvious hesitation in his approach makes his lips twist into a frown, though he supposes it makes sense. but by now? after everything the world’s thrown at them, roxas no longer holds anymore ill-intent towards him. they’re still getting adjusted to many changes in their lives, he’s getting to officially know hayner, pence, and olette all over again. it feels both surreal and painful, but he’s grateful to once again enjoy their company, not some artificial love and fake companionship. his path was no longer some carved out stimulation coded with data, this was his life to live, their lives together now. they lead different ones, not ones forcefully intertwined so maybe that’s a little much to comprehend, but — getting some ice cream together sounds like a great start. and he doesn’t eat ice cream with just anybody, so this was an incredibly high honor.  and yet … something still felt a little off.

       ❛  My weapon…?  ❜  The mercenary blinked at the shorter boy, his right hand INSTINCTIVELY withdrawing to his side. The hand wielding his PISTOL CROSSBOW. Despite its small appearance, it was his most treasured armament. Within its chrome shutters, it held the ability to manipulate the very SPACE around him, and was his only ticket to other DIMENSIONS. And hence, was the SOLE KEY to finding his significant other.

       It was no wonder that Yozora was so RELUCTANT to part with the weapon, kaleidoscopic eyes narrowing immediately at the suggestion. Fortunately for the rogue experiment, he also brandished a SWORD: and thus decided to interpret the boy’s enthusiasm as such. Gripping the blade’s handle, Yozora flicked his wrist, metallic vertebrae snapping into a long spine– before bursting AFLAME with crimson plasma.  

  ❝  c’mon, don’t FAIL me now.   ❞

     ♛ ————     ❝ Hmm ? A-ah !! You… really think so? ❞     the surprise is genuinely present in the way Kairi returns to the boy’s sudden comment. somehow, a petite smile tugs at the delicate corners of her lips, right before a chuckle parts them. there’s a bright tone of pink that traces her features, right above her cheeks. embarrassed, the girl finds herself avoiding Sora’s gaze just so she’s able to think properly of his chosen words.     what could he possibly mean?    h a p p i e r   ?

     truth to be told, the princess had been given quite a few reasons to smile & well… what he said. ( not that she wasn’t happy earlier, at all !! ) but her training was successfully completed: a test she passed with flying colors, mastering every necessary spell, attack, and defense possible. not only would she be able to protect herself and no longer be the cursed damsel in distress she wasn’t born to be… but she would also be able to certainly protect those who mattered most & HIM. the simple thought that this time around he wouldn’t have to face the terrors of the darkness alone brought a rather strange sensation of ease to her heart. if needed, Kairi would be there to reach out for her hero’s hand. in the end, he wouldn’t have to put himself out there, in danger, anymore. 

     when Kairi is finally thrown back to reality, she finds herself sighing. indeed, Sora IS absolutely right in his words. without a single doubt of her response, the girl nods.

     ❝ I guess you’re right. I feel way happier than I was just a year ago, you know? ❞     her speech comes to a halt right before she looks up at him, her ocean blue eyes absolutely full of utter adoration & care.     ❝ And most of this happiness is thanks to you. Had I never met you, I seriously doubt my life would be half as exciting and valuable as it is. So…  ❞     she explains.

“Sora...” Of course he was scared. How could he not be when so much hangs in the balance? Aqua gently placed a hand on his shoulder, "It’s okay to be scared. But you have us. You’re not in this alone.”
