[Open] The Sun Is Setting, But The Dawn’s A New Premiere
Who: Roxas and YOU!
When: All throughout Maiuril
Where: Mostly Aefenglom
What: River cleaning, 'skateboard' practice, breaking and entering, and other things
Warnings: None for now, will post in thread headers for anything
1 - River Cleanup
[Helping to clear out the river of garbage seemed like a good job for the month. The other Merrows could get some clean water to swim in, and the shores would be clear of garbage for anyone who wanted to relax and take a quick swim. Honestly, it seemed like a nice job, especially with the weather being so nice!]
[However, while Roxas is not adverse to hard work, he hadn't anticipated how much garbage there was to clean. And the weather, while nice, did mean it was easy to work up a sweat while he worked. Not to mention all his extra fur growth means he's getting hotter than normal. He's already stripped off his vest, working only in his tank top, but he's considering even removing that.]
[After an hour or so of working like this, Roxas straightens and rests his hands on his hips, stretching his back as he looks at whoever is nearby helping him work.]
Hey... can we take a break? I'm getting really hot here.
2 - Skater Boy
[As interesting as life in Aefenglom is, Roxas finds that he misses a couple creature comforts that he had back in Twilight Town. And while he can't exactly summon forth the things he misses from home, he can try to recreate a couple of them.]
[The simplest thing he tries to make is a skateboard. With the city as it is it's not like he can find a skateboard shop in town, but he can scavenge up a few supplies. It's not much, just a plank of wood and a few scavenged wheels, but it'll do. And while Roxas isn't a handyman, he has a knack for synthesis, so the concept of taking random items and putting them together isn't entirely foreign to him. When he's done, it's not the prettiest thing, but it looks serviceable enough to try out.]
[For those walking through the streets, you might notice the Turnskin out in quiet streets or empty alleys testing out his homemade skateboard. He just practices rolling along with it at first, but he does attempt to do a few simple kickflips with it, just to test it out.]
3 - Breaking and Entering..?
[With the weather growing a lot nicer, Roxas has been craving another desire from home; namely, a place to sit and watch the sunset. Sure this world might not have the golden sunsets of his home, but he still enjoys sitting and watching the sun sink down across the horizon as evening gives way to nightfall.]
[But it's not just the sunset he craves; he also wants a spot to watch it from. And sure, climbing up to the roof of the house he and the other Keyblade Wielders isn't bad, but he kind of wants another vantage point. Something like the Clock Tower from Twilight Town; high enough up to see not only the sunset, but the sprawling city as well.]
[Throughout the month, Roxas will have various evenings where he scouts out tall buildings to try to climb. Sometimes they're old, abandoned buildings no one bothers with, and sometimes they're smack dab in the middle of a busy street. These areas might not exactly be open to the public, but Roxas is trying to be discreet. He might still catch the attention of an observing passerby, though, whether it be him sneaking into a back door or from the roof itself of said buildings.]
[It... might look like breaking and entering at first, but Roxas really isn't trying to cause trouble. He just wants to find That Perfect Spot.]

no subject
[ven rubs a small circle against his upper thigh where the scar that normally ached sat. yet here he doesn't feel that mellowed pain. the realization dawns on him and immediately ven brightens, jumping up to his feet.]
Let's race!
no subject
[Roxas looks up as Ventus stands upright, but the enthusiasm Ventus feels makes Roxas let out a low chuckle, standing to his own feet.]
Sure. You're on!
no subject
[which he points out and a second later ven is already taking off, running through the flowers towards the end target.]
no subject
[Roxas grins and takes off after Ven, laughing as he does. He knows this is a race, but there's something exhilarating about chasing after someone. It's something he's felt plenty of times before, but something about chasing Ven in the dream made those feelings feel even stronger.]
no subject
he jumps over little streams, crashing through tall wildflowers as he gets closer to reaching the designated tree.
until he slips on a wet patch of grass and tumbles down a small hill.]
no subject
[When Ven lands, Roxas is there to pounce on him.]
no subject
[just as ven recovers he's immediately jumped by roxas. flower petals and grass fly up around them and stick in ven's hair as he rolls instinctively to shoulder roxas' weight. the entire time he's breathless with laughter.]
Not fair! I want a rematch...
no subject
Get real! I won fair and square!
[He pins Ven down into the grass, breathless with laughter and grinning from ear to ear.]
no subject
[he squirms underneath roxas, huffing and puffing his cheeks out. he teasingly shoves at roxas, but lets himself be pinned down. from where he was laying looking up at roxas, the sun shining behind him through his gold hair...
he looked heavenly.]
This is a pretty nice dream...
no subject
Yeah... it’s a nice dream.
[The smile fades as he just takes in Ven’s expression, and how close they were. Part of him feels like he should be embarrassed, but in this dream? Things felt weirdly okay. Right, even.]
no subject
It's definitely better because you're here with me too. I don't know who else would chase me around...
no subject
[It’s funny, how there’s an entire surreal landscape around them, and all he can focus on is Ven’s face. His expression. The fact he’s being pinned down by a Roxas, and though his grip is loose he isn’t squirming free. It makes conflicting feelings stir within him, emotions he has no names for.]
[His face feels warm, and he swallows as his ears flick. He’s really close to Ven’s face, but for some reason he doesn’t pull away.]
no subject
[their noses are touching and ven's poor heart is hammering away inside his chest, adrenaline from earlier fueling him. it all narrows down to them.
roxas is so close that ven just moves without thinking, it's hardly even an inch between them, pushing his lips against roxas'. it's hesitant and chaste, but eager all the same.]
no subject
[But after a few seconds pass where he processes what's happening, Roxas's ears lower and he presses forward, kissing Ven back.]
no subject
their kiss isn't perfect, but it heats ven to his core. his tail starts to wage - or tries to beneath him. it ends up smacking into the grass with a soft thup thup over and over.]
no subject
no subject
next to him is roxas and ven slowly shifts to look over to him, face flushed. outside the windows in their room it's already past sundown.]
no subject
[But then, out of nowhere, he jerks awake, eyes blinking owlishly in confusion. His heart hammers in his chest as he takes in the sudden shift of setting, realizing that he's still laying on the mattress.]
[Ah, right. They were testing the mattress...]
[Roxas's eyes catch Ven's, and he stares for a few seconds before his face turns beet red.]
Ah...
no subject
what if roxas had a different dream?]
... R-Roxas?
no subject
[Roxas’s ears flatten against his head, his face bright red. He looks away, clearing his throat.]
H-Hey. Did, ah... you fall asleep?
[He can still taste Ven’s lips, feel the phantom heat in his chest.]
no subject
he runs a hand over his face, feeling the heat under his skin.]
I did- yeah... [glancing back to roxas again.] What... did you dream about?
no subject
[Oh no... Roxas isn’t sure if he should keep going or not. Did Ven know? Should he say anything?]
[His eyes glance to the door to the room. Maybe if he left, he wouldn’t have to explain anything to Ven and could get away from this conversation...]
no subject
We raced to the tree- right?
[even thinking about what happens next has ven stumbling over his words. immediately he sits up, hair askew and sticking out everywhere from sleeping.]
Are you hungry? We should get something to eat.
no subject
[They raced, and then they had gone tumbling down the hill, and then... Roxas's ears flatten further on his head. Oh man, did Ven remember..?]
[He perks up as suddenly as Ven sits up, surprised at the sudden movement. He stares at Ven for a moment, before nodding.]
Y-Yeah. Food. Let's go get some.
[He wasn't that hungry, but right then, a distraction from the strange dream was quite welcomed.]
no subject
[at least he hopes she doesn't mind. it isn't like it's enough to feed three carnivores let alone everyone else in the house.
getting off the bed ven hesitates. despite the... weird dream, the nap had been comfortable. he woke up feeling actually kinda rested. but going to lay back again meant possibly talking more about what happened... or sort of happened?
he isn't ready for that yet.]
