"We should probably talk with Leon," Riku said then, speaking over his shoulder slightly at Sora. "See if anything's happened lately." They visited Hollow Bastion often, mostly because it was like a haven, though it did still have some of the toughest enemies. The numbers had dwindled thanks to the defense mechanism and his and Sora's help, but the Heartless were relentless.
One thing that was fortunate over the last month was that Riku didn't have to worry about Sora giving into the illusion Heartless' antics anymore. That had been one of the worst things they had experienced together, among a couple others when Roxas had been with them. Thinking about it now, that had been a while ago, when they sent Roxas home. The Nobody didn't seem happy about the decision, but he wasn't needed anymore. Riku and Sora were handling things fine on their own.
*sigh* I suppose so. I just hate confrontation; I always feel bad afterwards. Yes. :3 Yeah, seriously. Dx I'll probably have to go after my...
Riku nodded and started forward, keeping Way to Dawn in his grasp. He wasn't an idiot; if Heartless attacked them as soon as they stepped off the ship, the next area was just as infested with them. He walked past Sora, heading further into the town with serious eyes. He was used to this, as sad as that was. Riku had been doing this for nearly three years, and he knew it wasn't going to end soon, unfortunately.

It's been happening for a while now, before the attack. =/ 'Kay. =) After this, we bring Sora home, right? I know we have the Prince conflict,...
Riku stood in his fighting stance, watching as the last Heartless he had been fighting faded out of existence. He relaxed once the heart floated up to the sky, his Keyblade coming to rest at his side as he turned around to face his comrade. The last month had been full of nothing but battle and finding out information on the Heartless. Because people still held Darkness in their hearts, the Heartless were still running around. Of course, it was his and Sora's job to finish them off.
I dunno. He's just...clingy. That's the word, really. I'm afraid I'll hurt his feelings if I express how I'm feeling, so...yeah. You lead. :3
Roxas held Namine a little tighter, at the same time bringing her a little closer. He thought that was impossible, though; they were already very close, physically and emotionally. She knew him well, just as he knew her. It was that kind of connection that got them through everything, and he hoped it would get him through the darkness and the memories that still haunted him. She was his light, after all.
Definitely not. I feel kinda bad since it's mostly my boyfriend. Dx Anything else you have in mind for now? Or do you wanna jump to Sora and Riku?
Roxas moved his hands from Namine's waist and wrapped his arms further around her, embracing her in the silence. He sighed softly in comfort and peace, glad that Namine reacted well to everything tonight. He briefly thought back to the garden at the masquerade ball and the surprise he had for her there. It was similar, both in detail and her reaction. Roxas smiled a little more. Everything turned out well tonight.
I know. Dx It stinks.
Roxas blinked slowly, his lips forming a soft smile as he looked down at the girl in front of him. His hand left hers and found her waist. He wasn't sure if the silence was meant to be broken, so he didn't say anything. He let the room stay full of peace, something they had both wanted for a while.
I haven't really had time. I mean, I'm nearly done with Chapter 18 of my OC fic; the inspiration was crazy, and it came to me so quickly. xDD But...
Roxas continued swaying with Namine, his forehead against hers, until the guitar faded and it was silent in the den. He opened his eyes and looked at Namine, his dancing slowing even more until he was still.
There ya go. xDD
Roxas lowered his head as the music continued, his eyes closing when his lips made contact with Namine's forehead. He waited for a second before pulling back, closing his eyes and leaning his forehead against her own. The past month or so had been good to him, other than a few mishaps. They treated him better than the two off Earth had, and he knew it was because of Namine. Beautiful Like the summer rain to wash away the winter stain Beautiful Like the morning sun inviting the dawn to break Beautiful Like the joy that comes when the love you've longed for has just begun Beautiful Making everything brand new Beautiful you
Beautiful - Trading Yesterday
That, and the fact I can't help. x3
Roxas couldn't help but smile at the pressure he felt on his hand. He swayed gently with Namine, his head leaning to the side a little as he admired the beauty of the girl before him. He remembered the first time he saw her, and how awkward he had been. He was like that when he first got home too. Namine's presence did that to him after a while of absence. And all this time, You're changing me to something better A love so high that everyday that we're together I will leave the world below Until your heart becomes the only thing I know All I know is---
