Who: Sora & Roxas When: Backdated to the end of January Where: The Coven What: A boy and his Nobody re-establish their connection through a bond! Warnings: tba
[Roxas has to keep from chuckling at that happy rabbit look that he gives. But when he listens to Sora speak, his chuckle morphs into a warmer, more genuine smile. It's so hearfelt, so warm, so Sora. And the feeling of the warm magic between them only helps to emphasize that.]
[When it's Roxas's turn, he takes a breath and begins to speak as well. His own words add a touch of twilight to the warmth, like the early touches of dusk.]
I'm really glad I got to know you, too. You know, back when I first learned about who I was and how I was connected to you, I... I really hated it. I didn't want to just be a piece of someone else's whole, especially when I had my own feelings and experiences. But you felt the same way about me, even if I didn't realize it at first. You always considered me to be my own person, not just your Nobody. You did so much for me, trying so hard to bring me back, and making me feel like my own person. Me, someone you didn't even know. That's something I've admired, actually; just how big your heart really is. Even now, here in this world, you've done everything you can to make sure I'm my own person. And knowing that, it makes me happy to consider you a friend of mine. We're always going to be connected, and nothing can change that. But I know that when you say you want to be my friend, and want to make a Bond with me because of who I am, and not because of what I am, you mean it.
[As the bond grows more steady, those little flakes of magic begin to twinkle, like the light of the first stars that peak through as the sun sets.]
I want to protect everything you've given me, and everything you keep giving me. I know I'm not living in your shadow anymore, and I don't consider myself as just another part of you. But you helped me to be... me. You gave me the chance to be. I want to be able to return the favour. I want to keep being your friend, and I want to protect you as much as you want to protect me. So that'll be my vow to you; to be your friend and stand beside you, no matter the odds against us. Because we both deserve the chance to be.
[Sora really can't help the happy little sob he gives! Happy little tears might be backing up in his eyes! He's not crying!! You're crying!!
... It's just so heartfelt. He's never heard anything like this from Roxas before. And it really makes his heart feel so warm.
The magic seems to take place. Forging a connection between them that opens like a warm flood over the both of them. Their emotions will reach out to each other in a wave as the bond forms and ties them together. Flowing back and forth like the tide in the ocean.]
Heh- Geeze, Roxas... I didn't know you could get so mushy.
[Wasn't that Sora's job???]
I'm really happy. I'm really happy we're friends. This is really important to me.
[A gentle tease, but there's clear warmth in his voice. And as the magic settles over them both, Roxas can feel it too. It's warm, and comforting, and familiar; like a twilit sunset on the beach. It's fitting for them both.]
I'm happy too. I didn't expect this kind of thing, but... I'm glad. I'm glad this Bond is with you.
[It's funny because Sora can feel that light flicker of teasing amusement now. Like he can feel other things just like it from Kor or Vanitas when they tease or laugh. This feels right. It feels right to be able to be connected to Roxas like this.]
Yeah, me too. I really did want to ask you a long time ago, you know? But better late than never.
[With it all done they are asked to make sure they leave in a timely manner. So the magical ribbon binding their hands releases and Sora stretches when he gets up.]
[Again meant as a light jab. But truthfully, Roxas appreciates Sora's respect for his autonomy. He stands up and stretches as well, taking a moment to feel that thrum of new magic in him. It's new. Interesting. But feels like it belongs.]

Well... maybe I just inherited it from you.

Thanks, Sora.

Thanks to you too! Come on, I think this calls for a little celebration! Let's get something to eat!
no subject
Sounds good to me. Just as long as I don't have to eat a salad, too.
no subject
Hey, what's wrong with salad?! Juicy tomatoes, leafy greens, sweet flowers?! It's the best!
