I was browsing your blog when the theme suddenly changed -- It's a pleasant surprise to have you return! May I request some relationship headcanons for Sora, Roxas and Axel? SFW and NSFW please!
hello!! it’s nice to be back! it’s been a really long time but thank you so much for your patience, and here’s your hcs for the best boys~
Sora
- Sora is a huge fan of travelling with his S/O; and that doesn’t even have to be very far. Even just a short trip to the grocery store or a look around the nearest city is enough for him - he feels like he’s on an adventure however little the distance, and that’s what he loves. He also tends to try his best to take charge in situations when you take public transport, like asking for two tickets from the bus driver or trying to spot your train on the timetable before you do!
- Sora is also really up-to-date with everything that’s happening in terms of events like flea markets, outdoor cinemas, pop-up coffee shops and the like near you, and he’ll (try to) take you to every single one. He’s really invested in having as many experiences with you as he can, and you can bet that he documents every single one with thousands of pictures.
- Of course, he’s also a huge cuddler and always wants to have his arm around you. It makes it a little clunky to walk around next to him since he always wants to be as close as possible, but it’s one of the most endearing things about him! Naturally, it can be a little annoying when it’s a really hot day… 
- (NSFW) Let’s be real here, Sora isn’t… the most experienced boyfriend, and sex definitely isn’t something that is super important to him in a relationship. In fact, every time you’re intimate with each other it’s a really big deal to him - as if it’s the first time he’s touched you in that way. He’s always really gentle and stops to ask you if you’re alright all the time, so you have to really rile him up if you want things to move a little faster! 
Roxas
- Roxas always wants to learn about the things that you share with him, and loves being able to engage with you about seemingly useless stuff that ends up with the two of you having very long, very philosophical discussions. These conversations definitely last for way longer than they should and can end up going on well into the night - at which point they end up being a little conspiracy-theory esque. It’s funny, since you didn’t expect him to be awake at 4am with you discussing whether or not the complex human consciousness was born from an ape eating a magic mushroom, but… here you are…
- Roxas’s bedroom is full of diaries, scrapbooks, and odd pieces of paper with half-finished to-do lists and reminders he never ended up reading. As such, he’s the type of person who writes down his feelings rather than openly expressing them, and you’ve come to really enjoy catching him at his desk when he’s scrawling away. You pretend you never noticed the journal titled ‘poems and shit I’ll never read to Y/N’.
- (NSFW) Roxas is definitely the kind of person who uses sex as stress relief, and he’s definitely a lot less visibly frustrated after he met you. Being with you mellows Roxas out better than anything else can - seriously, you thought you might be magic at one point when he seemed to forget how mad he was at Axel for setting up a prank that ended up getting you.
Axel
- Being in a relationship with Axel is a constant battle to decide whether or not he’s being insensitive or if teasing is his love language. You’ve figured out that it’s definitely the latter, but that doesn’t do much for him when you wake up next to each other and you compliment his eyes only for him to gag at your apparently-awful morning breath. Naturally, you overcome this issue by near-constantly telling him his hair’s gone flat, which he believes every single time.
- Despite Axel’s proficiency with fire magic, he’s a terrible chef and can hardly feed himself. His diet consists mainly of ice cream bars, sugary cereal and, if he can be bothered, frozen pizza. His metabolism must be going a mile a minute, since he’s so damn skinny, but that’s something else entirely. Because of this lack of skill, it’s always the funniest thing in the world to see what he whips up for you when you ask him to treat you to dinner at his place. Some of your favourites so far have been jam sandwiches, a ‘salad’ consisting only of lettuce and dressing, and instant ramen transferred to a fancy bowl he borrowed from Naminé.
- (NSFW) Axel’s voice is one of the many things about him that drives you insane, and he’s very privy to that fact. Whenever you’re heading home from somewhere - especially when you’re with a group of friends - he makes it a point to take you to the side at least once to whisper in your ear about what he’s going to do to you when you’re alone before acting completely normal a moment later. Of course, you can’t be too mad at him, as he always keeps whatever he’s promised you.

Sora’s Time to Shine
youtube
Summary: Mari is already not putting too much expectations going into watching the Final Smash Presentation when someone close to her besides Kirby and Edelgard’s beloved Professor pops out of nowhere in said Presentation. All hell breaks loose (but in a good way).
Setting: Mari and co.’s house in Daly City, California; October 5, 2021
Notes: I was pretty behind in seeing the reveal since I was pretty tired when it came out and I had to check a friend’s post on Plurk to make sure that it was not all for the jokes before watching it on Gamespot and writing this story down. And yes, the Byleth in my S/I verse is the female version in case anyone is curious. And yes, it took me until around 8 AM to write this up. Featuring Luther Vandross. Here is an ask I made on Sora’ behest during a F/O takeover long before he got confirmed recently. #SakuraiHasReachedtheImpossibleDream #Sora4Smash
Tags: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Super Smash Bros., Swift Keyblader, Smash Reveal, Sakurai has reached the impossible dream!, Sora for Smash, #Sora4Smash
“Hurry Mari, you’re about to miss it!” Kairi is dragging me out onto the sofa to see the final Smash Ultimate Presentation on the living room pretty early before plopping ourselves onto the sofa.
“Look, Kairi, guys. I hate to be a party pooper, but I have no clue about who could it be,” I try to be realistic in my views.
“Well, at this point, my beloved, it could be anybody from the video game world,” my dear Philip chimes in while trying to reassure me, “Besides, as soon as it is done, we shall try to reply back to this non Smash invitation that El had found in the mail today.”
“Huh, is that correct, El dear?” I asked my regal adopted daughter for confirmation.
“Why yes of course, Mother,” she replies as she passes me the invitation, “I believe that a friend of yours has sent us one, but I didn’t want to open it immediately since this is addressed to you.”
“Okay then, I will get to read it and reply back once the Presentation is over and see who gets to fight with Kirby and Professor Byleth,” I smiled back at her.
“I couldn’t believe that there was a leak that just came out before this Presentation video and it is about music. Who was that dense enough to do it at a time like this?” Riku mumbles as he gets the video streaming on the Nintendo Direct page in his laptop.
“You know, Riku, sometimes people can act very idiotic at times, so there isn’t much we can do besides ignoring and avoiding that as much as possible,” Harry sighs as he is bottle feeding and gently rocking Serena as she had cried a while ago to be bottle fed.
“Guys, have you guys seen Sora lately?” Issa asks us while carrying Chris in her arms, “I haven’t seen him in the last few days. He didn’t even reply back to either my or Kairi’s texts and calls. Do you think he’s off to visit Jack and Sally in Halloween Town? It’s nearing Halloween soon.”
“That’s really a good question, Issa,” Ahk agrees, “I had given up trying to find him by calling over on the phone since last Thursday. All I have gotten from it were many ‘The subscriber could not be reached’ messages.”
Even Riku and Kairi are in a loss for words as they turn to each other and wonder what is up with our friend lately. Did he just went poof without us knowing? Kirby always informs us through his many Poyos that he would have to head off to Smash whenever a new tourney starts or a newcomer arrives and Edelgard’s class often gets shorter class schedules or early dismissals whenever Professor Blyeth gets to fight in Smash: she is the professor handling the Black Eagles class. Sometimes even El, Petra and Dorothea along with a few others (and yes, that includes the Gatekeeper) would come over to Smash to spectate from the sidelines and support their beloved Professor.
There is a long silence when the Nintendo Switch title card plays in the laptop and Karina directs us all to watch the screen to see many clips featuring many Smashers in the current tournament before it transitions to Sakurai-san in the studio explaining about the video as well as showcasing the Mii Fighter costumes.
“Hey look, Isabelle the Dog’s demon slaying friend from Bethesda is now coming to Smash to rip and tear up the competition!” Moana screams when the Doomguy Mii Gunner costume appears.
“Good for him; I know that many fans really did want him to be in Smash, though the costume is a nice addition,” Issa agrees. “That now makes three Bethesda franchises represented in the costumes.”
“Even the Octolings and Judd the Cat got hats based on them too,” I chime in as well.
“Oh hey, guys! Sakarui’s about to reveal the last fighter for the Second Fighter’s Pass, so keep down it and don’t expect too much,” Karina informs as Sakurai transitions to the main event and we all stay silent and stay glued to our seats.
The screen turns black before the usual Smash logo opening shows up, but instead of the usual zoom in, it then turns into a flaming Smash logo with all the Smashers up until Kazuya Mishima (yeah, the guy who tried to drop Kirby off a cliff) looking at it and covered in the shadows. Did MH decided to get them to show up in there and meet the last fighter in the dark? Probably, I bet that he might be keeping it as a surprise and possibly even conserving electricity at the same time. Then cut to Inkling Girl looking in awe with the Smash logo reflecting onto her pupils as a nice ode to the first reveal trailer for the game/tourney, I honestly love this shot.
Wait a minute, the logo turns into stars and the next scene shows everyone frozen in place as toy-like ambiios?!? How is it even possible? Well, it does certainly confirmed once again that the video game version of the tourney is set in a world of make believe after all. I could swear that a lot of people crying their eyes out as they are watching this. It looks like this is the end of one great video game series about mascots fighting among each other. Or is it? Because the camera is aiming at Mario as if he looks like he’s trying to take a nap while standing up.
Riku then proceeds to mumble some words to me incoherently that something big is coming the moment Mario wakes up to see a glowing light to see the last remaining flame glowing on the floor, which I do agree with him. Suspicious right? Oh God, Mario no! Please don’t touch the fire for everyone’s sanity. Wait, hold on a second: that isn’t not just fire that he just grabbed on and then tossed it into the sky like a boomerang: the mystery object looks like a Keyblade and there’s that Mickey keychain! Yep, that’s a Keyblade alright. Could it be...
I could recognize that beam of light that Keyblades often produce whenever they lock and unlock Keyholes to other worlds, so does everyone in the room. Riku and Kairi hugged onto each other as if we’re about to brace for an emergency (Karina and Moana also did the same), Ahk stares at the screen to see if he’s not imagining things all the sudden, Issa has her mouth drop in shock, Chris and Serena didn’t cry throughout this entire presentation, Harry gasps and nearly drops Serena’s bottle, Philip turns to me for answers while Edelgard begins to sweatdrop in concern.
No words are exchanged as the light grows and shines brighter before it proceeds to shoot itself away from the Keyblade to reveal a Keyhole on another part of the room. It then glows bright within as the camera switches back to the rest of frozen Smashers as the light begins to fill the room and revives Link, Cloud, Incineroar and Mewtwo as they all gawk at it as it reveals something from the World of Light with the orchestral rendition of Simple and Clean playing in the background. And that’s when it hits us right at the gut: the familiar spiky brown hair poking out from that Keyhole.
“What!?!” Kairi shouts as the Keyhole ‘spits’ out Sora from the World of Light.
“H-h-he actually got in, for real?” Riku squeaks up.
“Oh my…” I gasp in pure shock as we watch the whole thing played out.
“Sakarui finally did it?” Issa adds in to the discussion.
“Well, it’s about time that they managed to get his darn behind into the tourney,” Karina seconds in.
Soon enough, Sora finally wakes up from his nappy time and takes notes from Peter Pan and Tinkerbell as he flies around, sprinkling fairy dust all over the other Smashers, before landing on the floor and the Keyblade flying back to his hand.
“Damn it, Sora!” I scream as the splash screen pops in.
“Kai, your boy has finally made it big time!” Moana shakes Kairi in congratulation rather rapidly that it nearly gives my lil sis a dizzying spell.
“Moana, please don’t make Kairi that dizzy,” Harry had to tell her that.
“Whoops! Sorry Kairi,” she apologizes to her which she accepts.
So with that, we switch back to Sakurai going in depth with Sora’s moveset after he discussed about the Kingdom Hearts games and world. And he has gotten 4 costume changes, man Sora, that’s a big wardrobe you’re bringing in, oh wait, he even got the Timeless River costume too. That makes it 5 then.
“Oh gods, Sakurai is making us suffer by watching Sakurai using Sora to beat up everyone,” Ahk tells us as the Sora moveset showcase begins.
“No kidding,” Harry muses as we see Sora beating everyone in Battlefield.
“Whoa, they went for Sealing the Keyhole instead of having Trinity Force with Donald and Goofy? What a bummer,” Karina bemoans in dismay.
“Well, you know modern Disney: too overprotective of their IPs,” Philip reminds her.
“Oh new stage, what could it be?” Riku gleefully chimes in before they reveal Hollow Bastion as the stage, “Whoa, Hollow Bastion. I never thought that you will return again.”
Then the stage changes into Dive to the Heart and it had Riku and Kairi in the stained glass in one, Riku being the main focus of the second one, Roxas in the middle of the third, Xion in the fourth, Terra for the fifth, a sleepy Ven in the sixth, and Aqua’s in the seventh.
“Pretty!” I complimented the look of each stained glass.
“Quite impressive I will admit,” El agrees with me too.
Then Sakurai begins a playthrough with Sora facing Cloud and Sephiroth in Hollow Bastion, for a while, we all thought that he’s going to be a goner with Cloud and Sephiroth beating him up in the Stamina match but then the tides begin to turn in his favor after Sephy lost his full stock and with Sora having to take down Cloud next. When he did, the scene begins to go into a slow white fade out with a Game!
“Alright! Sora did it! He defeated both Cloud and mean old Sephy,” Riku cheers on.
“Woo! Go Sora!” me, Kairi, Moana, and Karina screams aloud.
“That was brilliant!” Harry agrees before he turns to Serena, “Did you hear? Uncle Sora managed to defeat two opponents in a Smash Ultimate playthrough.”
“9 songs is better than nothing at all,” Issa observes, “It would be a licensing nightmare to talk to Disney if they can borrow a couple of songs from them and they straight up refuse to assist, oh well. Oooh, a Dearly Beloved Swing arrangement, nice! I better get that save file on the Switch prompto!”
“And check out that Spirit Board: Aunt Kairi has a Spirit of herself,” Edelgard informs us as the Spirit Board for KH is revealed.
“Oh gee, never thought that it could ever happen, but thanks,” she blushes.
“Hey, I got one as well, same with Axel, Xion, Roxas, Aqua, Terra and Ven,” Riku joins in, “Marina is so going to be happy to see her boyfriend as a Spirit. She will probably try to get him real soon.”
“You bet it right, Riku, you bet it right,” I nod and agree with that last statement.
“Oh hey, he’s going to be ready within a few weeks’ time,” Karina speaks up, “Neat! The roster is now complete.”
“Even Steve and Alex have amiibos of themselves being made, that’s even more wonderful,” Ahk takes note of it, “I’m pretty sure that Sora will have one of his own along with Pyra, Mythra, that jerk who tried to threw Kirby off a cliff, and even Sephiroth soon.”
“WHAT?!? Kingdom Hearts are coming to the Switch too!?!” I am surprised to hear the news as Sakurai reveals this new information, that is so mind-blowing.
When it fades to black then to the Ultimate mural, the camera then goes for the space between Ganondorf and Dark Samus to fill in Sora’s spot before panning back. Man, this Presentation is long and is finally ending, thank God; it must be tiring to sit down and watch a nearly hour long video as Sakurai showcases the screenshots he has made and showed off in Twitter. Man, so many memories and montages. And the achievements, wow, that is a lot of them, it will be a game feat that I don’t think it will be broken for a long time.
Man, I will miss the presentations and Sakurai’s corny jokes for sure. I wish him a nice deserving break from all the game development for sure as he gives thanks to everyone from the devs to the players to the people prompting the game and ends it off with a heartfelt goodbye as it fades to back into the full reveal trailer.
“Oh gee, I’m going to miss the Smash Presentations,” Kairi sighs, “I can’t believe that we’re coming to an end.”
“Man, it’s finally over,” Riku gasps in remark as the full trailer plays out, “I don’t think that there will be a game like Ultimate for a very long time. That’s for certain.”
“I agree, Riku. It’s to going to be a tough act to follow up on,” I add in before I look up at the ceiling and murmur some words, “It’s been a long time coming, Sora. You truly deserve that last spot, you really do. Have fun in the tourney and Smash Mansion, buddy.”
Sora is Finally Here!
The End

Woeful WIP Wednesday
This story is from way back October 2018. It’s AkuRoku, so far is only 1 chapter, and is a role reversal. Axel is the goody two-shoes and Roxas has had a very hard life and has the literal scars to prove it.
I’ve always thought I’d get back to this story when I have time. When I finish my other WIPs. It’s kinda near and dear to my heart and I have so much angst and pain to explore in this story. There are also so many funny and tender things to be explored in this story. I will finish it one day. I will. Just... I need the headspace and I need to finish other stories first.
You can have the first chapter
Rated E Word Count - 3786 NSFW. Oral sex If you enjoy this, or any of the other WIP’s it would be great if you would let me know. Cheers.
Sharehouse
It had been an exhausting day because there had been a lot to do since he was aiming to leave early. He managed it, made it home to the sharehouse he was living at with its soon-to-be six occupants, grabbed his pre-packed duffle bag from his room, and with car keys still held firm in his hand, he flew out the door again in under 10 minutes. But he couldn't get out without the sound of Sora screaming, “Have a most epic birthday, Lea!”
Lea was glad that Sora hadn’t invited himself along like he had tried to do the previous two years. In the past, it always had been Riku to calm Sora’s overzealous enthusiasm, for which Lea had always been grateful for. The fact that Sora didn’t try to jump Lea this time around could be squarely laid blame to the fact that Sora had finally gotten with Riku, his not so secret mad-man-crush, about a month previously. It had meant that Sora hadn’t paid Lea much heed, which Lea was ecstatic about. As long as Sora continued to do his rostered on duties in a timely fashion and left Lea alone all was well.
Lea shook his head as he started up his old, blue, beat up Chevy and pulled out of the driveway and drove down the street, adamant that he would focus on having an epic and carefree evening.
The first stop this evening was the hotel room he had booked for himself in the next town over. There he pulled everything out of his duffle bag and spent an hour perfecting his look. He wore head-to-toe leather – slipping on a black sleeveless button-down leather shirt, stuffing himself into low-rise skin-tight black leather pants – with a jockstrap on underneath for comfort – threading a thick belt around his waist, clamping on a chunky collar with studs around his neck and slightly slimmer ones on each wrist, and putting on knee-high black boots with platform heels to give himself even more height. He then painted his nails black, drew on an upside-down purple tear drop under each eye – making sure they were smudge and sweat-proof – stuck on a temporary skull-and-cross tattoo on his left pectoral muscle and a full sleeve with various gothic motifs on each arm, applied mascara to make his deep green eyes pop, and dark lipstick to make his lips appear bigger – and lastly he shaped his fire-engine red hair from its usual casual up-do into wild spikes.
Once his look was completed he felt snazzy and nothing was going to hold him back from having an amazing time on his twenty-sixth birthday.
He headed out, head held high and looked for a bar to get his drink of liquid courage in before he really got started. He found one not too far from the hotel – a classy looking joint with a wine cellar appeal. He sipped and enjoyed his easy-on-the-vodka strawberry lemonade vodka while he played Animal Crossing on his phone. By the end of his drink, he was delightfully buzzed, smiling like a fool and swaggering off to club Destiny down the road, a bustling hub of great beats with a slight flare of 80’s nostalgia – given the fluoro color scheme and checked floor design.
It was a place he would never be caught dead in if it wasn’t his once-a-year indulgence. It was a good thing because no-one that he knew would be here either, so he could really let loose and not worry. The low-light helped disguise him even more and the alcohol coursing through his body took his reservations away. Or it would, as soon as he got more of the good stuff into himself.
He made straight for the bar, nodding his head along to the beat, tapping his fingers to the rhythm against his thigh and then the bar top when he reached it and while he drank some of Mike’s Hard Lemonade. He felt his mood elevate even further. His hips swayed more, his head bobbed along with greater accentuation.
He turned his back to the bar, leaning against it with his elbow while he looked out into the bopping crowd. The music was pumping, and the strobe lights were shifting everything into a different plane of existence and the excitement and thrill grew in Lea. He felt the itch to get amongst it all to let the music take him away.
He was about to push off and go as he finished the last of his drink but through the noise he heard a shout of, “Hey, can I buy you a drink?” 
Lea looked to his side to see a short guy with blond hair, cut and styled into a faded fohawk, addressing him. The guy was smiling up at Lea in such a lovely way that it really juxtaposed with all the tattoos covering the guy's scalp, neck, and hips. And that was just his exposed skin. He also wore a black mesh tank-top, which didn’t quite reach all the way down to the top of the snug fitting black skinny jeans he was wearing. Lea could see that the skin under the shirt was covered in tattoos as well – both arms and torso. Lea stared a little. He had never seen someone so covered before. He wondered if they were all real, or fake like his own.
The blond hopped up on a bar stool, getting himself more on eye-level with Lea, who was still leaning against the bar. The guy bent towards Lea, which made him aware of baby blue eyes and a fruity musk he thought he liked a lot. 
“Dude, can I buy you a drink?” The question came again. Lea snapped out of his mesmerized trance. This guy looked so cool. He nodded.
The tattooed guy waved his hand at the barkeeper who walked over “We'll have a red-headed slut and a suck, bang, and blow, thanks,” the guy said, looking directly at Lea, smirking.
“Comin’ right up.”
Lea just stared and swallowed.
The blond guy leaned closer to Lea, his elbow pushing against Lea's arm which was resting on the bar top. “What’s a guy like you doing here all by your lonesome?”
Lea didn't understand what the insinuation was. He just said, “It’s my special night.”
“Oh? What’s special about it? It can’t just be meeting me, right?” the guy’s voice was low and alluring as he waggled his eyebrows and leaned a fraction closer.
The fruity and aromatic scent of the blond was a lot stronger now. Lea definitely liked it and took a deep whiff. “It’s my birthday.”
“Mm, really? And you're celebrating by yourself?”
“Yeah,” he nodded.
A big grin spread across the other man's face.
“Here you go.” The bartender put the drinks in front of the blond guy.
“Keep the change,” the blond guy said, not glancing away from Lea while he slapped a bill on the wooden counter. “Which one d’ya want? The red-headed slut, or the suck, bang, and blow?”
Lea’s throat felt like a desert and he leaned a little more against the bar to support himself as his knees felt like they might give out any second. “The…” he glanced at the drinks before them. They both looked really good, but he couldn’t bring himself to say… “The suck, bang, and blow,” he croaked. The smirk on the blond’s face grew. “Of course, you’d want that.” “Oh, d-do you want it? I can have the – other one.” The man chuckled slowly. “I wouldn’t mind a suck, bang, and blow, but right now I’m more into having a red-headed slut.” He licked his lips, raised his eyebrows and slid Lea’s drink to him before picking up his own. 
Was this guy for real? Was he… talking about the drinks or…. Lea’s heart was racing. This guy was so thrilling and magnetic. “Thanks for the drink,” he got out as he picked up the glass.
They clinked their drinks together and the blond downed his shot. Lea’s drink was in a cocktail glass, but he tried to drink it as fast as he could, while blue eyes sparkled at him.
“Greedy, aren’t you. You like a good suck, bang, and blow, don’t you,” the blond hummed as Lead just about finished the drink.
Lea choked and coughed and put the glass back down.
“You liked it, huh,” came the smug observation.
Lea could feel himself going red. His heart was being unmanageable but he liked it too. He liked this guy in all his crude form. He nodded. “Yeah. That was really good!” It had been sweet and sour. A little tart and spicey too. “Amazing.” He looked down at his glass, wishing he could have savored it more.
The blond grinned from ear to ear. “Glad you liked it, legs. There’s more where that came from.” Lea didn’t find it in himself to be upset about being called that. “Oh no, I really can’t drink anymore.” 
The blond chuckled and put his hand on Lea’s. “I don’t mean the drink. C’mon. Let’s dance.”
Lea let himself be pulled away and led onto the dancefloor. This is what he had come for. The fact that he was now attached to a total badass who made him sweat under his collar was such a treat.
The alcohol in his veins loosened Lea up and melted his guard against public ridicule. He gave himself over to the beat of the music and danced like no one was watching, while the blond with a wild smile rubbed against Lea and danced with him. Lea didn't focus on anyone or anything else other than the man before himself and the frenzied way in which he was grinding against Lea’s thigh, and how blunted fingernails slid down the fabric of his shirt and pants as they rocked against each other in a rhythm vaguely resembling the actual music being played. Their hands traveled all over each other. Lea stroked strong arms and his palm crazed against a nipple piercing he hadn’t noticed before.
A wily smirk was given to Lea and brows waggled again with a silky allure. Lea watched as the man before him stepped aside a little and began moving around Lea’s body, the blond’s hand trailing around Lea as he circled. Lea kept dancing and letting the tingle of those fingertips against his chest, sides, shoulders, backside, and groin set his nerves on fire.
The blond guy was behind him, pressing himself against Lea while his hands were running all over the front of Lea’s body. Lea slowed their pace. He began guiding the other man’s hands over his body, under his shirt, and down his pants – but not too far down. Just enough to tease himself and the guy behind him. Lea felt the other man’s face pushing kisses to his back and nuzzling into his sides as their dancing and groping continued. The nicest flutters went through Lea’s body.
Fingertips left Lea’s groin and he felt the other man’s presence suddenly descend down the back of Lea’s body. Hands went between Lea’s legs, making him spread himself open with a big step to the side. Lea looked down to see the blond’s head suddenly emerge from between his legs. The man smiled up at him, his palms traveled up Lea’s thighs as be pushed through his legs and crept up the length of Lea’s body very slowly. The blond’s face was right next to Lea’s crotch, causing Lea to cease all his swaying as he watched blue eyes gazing at him while the man’s open mouth slid over the bulge of Lea’s leaving-nothing-to-your-imagination pants. Lea gasped and panted as slow movements exerted pressure over his erection. Hands were gripping Lea’s hips tightly but continuing to move and slide up his body. The other man’s tongue came out and licked at where Lea’s head was pressed against his lower abdomen and then that ridiculously sexy mouth closed with a smirk and the man stood to his full height and reached up behind Lea’s neck.
Lea instinctively wrapped his arms around the other man, lifting him up. Strong legs spread and raised, hooking themselves on Lea’s hips and pushed the blond up. Not a word was said between them as they began kissing as if possessed. Lea’s mind was completely foggy. All he knew was that he wanted this man against him, on him, in him. A hand went into Lea’s hair, grabbing the back of his head and pulled him painfully out of the deep frenzied kiss. 
“Washroom,” the blond uttered and then attacked Lea’s neck with his teeth and firm sucks, particularly around the collar.
Lea felt heady with pleasure and so obeyed the command. He quickly looked around, behind able to see over the tops of most the people dancing around them, and spotted where the washrooms were located. His legs took a bit of coaxing to get moving but he carried himself and this sexy blond bombshell over to the amenities. He didn’t know what the guy had in mind, but Lea appreciated the idea of a little more privacy in a quieter environment so they could maybe talk and kiss a little more.
Lea turned his back to the door and pushed it open. It swung shut again and muffled the sound of the beat, but it still reverberated around the room, making the wall mounted mirrors in the dimly lit space vibrate. There were several urinals and a few stalls, one of which was occupied and Lea could see two pairs of legs underneath the door space. He swallowed and stood around, not knowing what he was supposed to do now. The wet sucks on his neck stopped and vibrant azure eyes stared him right in the face.
Lea stared back as the whiter light of the washroom painted his blond companion in a clearer light. His hair was a warm blond, the untattooed patches of his skin a creamy pale color. His lips looked bruised but that was from Lea’s lipstick rubbing off on the blond. Lea leaned in and kissed the blond, sucking in air through his nose sharply and getting another intoxicating dose of that fragrance which Lea so enjoyed. The intrusive tongue and sharp nips got Lea moving again. He shuffled towards the washbasins, stopped by the hand towel receptacle, pulling some out and then went to the benchtop and began wiping while the blond kept nipping and sucking on Lea’s neck.
The blond did stop however and looked behind himself, back at Lea and gave him a confused glare. “What’re you doing?”
“Drying the bench. I don't want your ass to get all wet.”
Lips quirked. “You sure 'bout that? You making my ass wet sounds kinda perfect.”
Lea choked on his own spit. 
The blond laughed, stretched up a little patting Lea’s back and breathed against Lea’s ear, “No? You sure you don’t wanna make my ass all wet? Don’t you wanna watch it drip out of me, down my balls, and thighs? Wouldn’t you wanna lick. Me. Out?” He nipped at Lea’s earlobe.
Lea let out a shaky breath, his wiping motion forgotten as both his hands were on the blond. He slid the shorter man onto the bench and stood between his legs.
The blond chuckled, leaned in and started kissing Lea’s lips, cheek, neck and along Lea’s collarbone. He stopped and looked up at the man. “You're cute, y’know – if a bit shy. C'mere legs.” The blond grabbed at the back of Lea's head and pulled him into a searing kiss with forceful sucks before releasing him. The blond then schooded forward a bit, Lea stepped back, and the other man slid off the bench and knelt onto the ground before Lea, tugging at his belts and pants.
Lea stared, speechless, aroused, overcome with heat and need. His fly was being pulled down, warm fingers fumbled and then Lea’s building erection was free.
“Mm. I see that cock of yours is proportional to you, Legs. Gonna hafta work hard to get all of you down.” The blond licks his lips and shoves Le into his mouth.
A strangled moan hitches in Lea’s throat. There is warmth and pressure and that hard bump of the tongue ring that’s massaging his slit. Lea huffs and tries not to push into the other man’s mouth. He leans his hands against the bench before him, keeping himself steady on it and tries to catch his breath. He looks around himself – their location – the cold tiles. Is the man below him okay? “Get up.” Lea pulls his hips away and his erection out of that hot mouth.
“Why?” A confused blue stare is shot upwards.
“Your knees.”
The blond chuckled. “I'm fine,” and tried to pull Lea back to himself.
Lea resisted. “No. Here—” Lea pulls the blond up, turns them around so he is where the blond was just standing and then Le slides himself up onto the bench. “This will be better for you.”
“Okay, that works too.” The blond chickled, brushes at his hair and then spreads Lea’s legs apart, sidling in and went back to work sucking on Lea’s cock.
Lea gives in to the feelings stirring in his gut and focuses on little else but that. He grabs for the blonds hair, ruffling it as the man bobs up and down. Moans and gasps escape Lea’s mouth. He feels the other man hum with pleasure against his cock, feels that tongue ring rubbing against him and slightly into him, sending tingling chills down his back. Lea lifts his face up to the ceiling as the ecstasy rises within. Fingers grip his hips, the blond between his legs is sucking harder and Lea cums with a small cry and a tightening of his grip in the blonds hair.
The sucking eases up. There comes one very hard and final suck of Lea’s head and then the blond is looking up at Lea, wiping his mouth and smiling brightly.
“That was… so good—so amazing,” Lea pants, breathless and high. 
A sultry chuckle leaves the other man. “Glad you liked my suck, bang, and blow.” He winked. “I knew red-headed sluts were my favorite—I like your load, by the way. Tastes really sweet. You ever tasted yourself?”
Lea’s breath catches. “N-no.”
“Then, here. Lemme introduce you to your tang.” The blond reached up, roughly pulled Lea’s head down and smothered him with a kiss. The blond forced his tongue into Lea, which made Lea whimper. He could taste saltiness but rather than be put off by it he was turned on – despite his blissed out afterglow state.
A few deep sucks later they pulled apart. Lea is smiling from ear to ear, in a really mellow way. He feels so high. He really likes this guy. His rough edges are exciting and Lea wants more.
“My name's L—” 
The blond clapped his hand in front of Lea's mouth. “What're you doing, numbnuts?” the man almost snaps and holds Lea’s attention with a sobering hard stare.
Lea pulls the hand away from his mouth. “Telling you my name?”
A repulsed look crosses the other man’s face. “I just sucked you off. I don’t need or want your name. You’re a hot piece of cock and we won't see each other again, so zip it, Legs.”
That message came like a slap in the face to Lea. It crushes something inside himself… a hope… “Oh. Okay. Do you – w-want me to…”
The blond steps out form between Lea’s legs, wiping his mouth again like he is disgusted. “You’re being a boner killer. I’m out.”
With that Lea stared after his wet dream. He was only roused out of his shock by the washroom door opening. Suddenly realizing what state he was in Axel slipped off the bench, tucked himself in, zipped himself up and stood embarrassed by the washbasin, washing his hands. He looked at himself in the mirror, straightening out his clothes and brushing his hair into place.
His orgasm still pulsed through his body ever so faintly. He didn’t know what he wanted to do. The night was still young but… after that spectacular time… maybe he was done.
He wandered back out into the club, looking around to see if he could spy the blond anywhere. After a while of having no such luck he left to go to his hotel room, where he soaked in the tub and scrubbed off all evidence of his wild night out.
----------------------------
Lea arrived home in the late afternoon, dressed in his normal, everyday clothes. He walked into the house and was about to head up the stairs to his room when Sora’s voice rang out, “Lea! Lea! C'mere.”
Sora, full of energy, came bounding up to Lea, grabbed his arm and dragged him to the lounge as he chatted a mile a minute, “How was your birthday? Did you have an amazing time?” They went down the hall and turned right through the archway to the comfortable living room where two old, brown lounges stood around a central entertainment unit with television, consoles, and speakers. “I want to introduce you to my cousin, Roxas! Roxas, this is Lea. Remember how I told you he works at an animal shelter?”
Sora halted them beside the lounge. Everyone else was standing and sitting around; Riku, Kairi, Demyx, Naminé and— 
Sora was still talking but Lea didn't hear him. Before him, sitting on the lounge was blond mesh-top sex bomb, albeit dressed less provocatively in baggy, dark blue shorts, long sleeved white hoodie with black and white checkered sleeves, and matching sneakers. 
“R-Roxas?” Axel got out in shock.
The corner of the blond's lip cocked up in a sneer. “Lea,” seeped out of that talented mouth in a dry drawl.
“Oh? You two met already?” Sora quizzes.
“Y—”
“No,” Roxas cut through and glared sheer death at Lea. “I’m gonna unpack. Call me when dinner’s ready.” Roxas stood and shoved right past Lea on his way out of the living room and into the hallway to go upstairs to his room.
Lea stared after the small spunky package also known as… Roxas. “That’s your cousin?” “Yeah. I don’t know why he’s being so pissy. He was fine a minute ago—I’ll help him unpack.” Sora dashed off after his cousin. 
Lea stared after him, dazed and confused. That had been… that was definitely suck, bang, and blow guy. Lea had to live with him now? He wasn’t sure how he felt about that.

Oh yes, this is still open! What kind of spouse are the org members?
Xemnas -
Can you say sugar daddy - but like not really. Xemnas takes his role as provider seriously, so you’ll want for nothing when he’s around.
Quiet nights and stimulating conversation. Arm chairs in front of the fireplace with wine in one hand and a book in the other, sitting in companionable silence. He is an overwhelming, encompassing guy, but he values his privacy and intimacy just as much as values being around you.
Basically your equal in all things so don’t act like you’re better than him and don’t look down on yourself because you’re worthy of his support and attention. He values your time and your intelligence - don’t make him regret it.
Xigbar -
That spouse who is always ready for an adventure, but he doesn’t need to be because everywhere you go with him is in adventure! A hike in a forest or biking in the mountains is just as exciting as a trip to the grocery store or a run to the fast-food drive-thru
Intimacy and sex are two different things, but sex is definitely a form of intimacy for him. He loves being with you in that way and OFTEN, but he makes it fun with laughter and jokes, you know?
Dirty rat man soft for sweet sunshine s/o who could probably murder him and he’d be like yeah thank you; basically he’s a sucker for a powerful partner
Xaldin -
Xaldin falls hard and he falls fast, so expect unwavering loyalty from him. If you care for him and love him and treat him well, he’ll be forever yours.
Giant bear husband standing in defense of his s/o at all times? Absolutely. He knows you can defend yourself and he loves WATCHING you defend yourself, but let him show off his muscles every once in a while so you can ogle him and let him feel a bit smug
Always exciting with him. He likes trying new things so you’re always doing something fun, but there are also days where he likes to just spend time with you at home. Even the most boring days can be fun when he’s around
Vexen -
An intelligent husband who will never leave you lacking in stimulating conversation. You are always learning something new and exciting when he’s around.
Shared science experiments together? Yes, please, let him teach you and guide your hand, it will be a great experience for both of you and you’ll probably end up teaching him a lot too, along the way
Also infuriating and unyielding, which will probably lead to some arguing on occasion, but rest assured that if you can prove him wrong with something? His already high attraction to you will go up like 80%
Lexaeus -
The opener of Jars and the killer of spiders and cockroaches, but also the guy who likes warm bubble baths and cuddling; a gentle giant through and through and no one can tell me otherwise
No qualms in doing household chores, but also likes doing chores with you because it feels like a bonding experience
Doesn’t talk much, but he is a GREAT listener. Will ask questions at appropriate times so you know he’s paying attention and will offer you advice when you need it.
Zexion -
He sometimes gets embarrassed about his own interests but don’t let that stop either of you from enjoying each other’s company or doing things together. He’s into some cool stuff so you don’t want to miss out.
He also likes learning about what you like and will go out of his way to explore and do research so he can spark new conversations! He’s a sweet boy who would be a sweet partner even though he’s inexperienced
He’ll get in moods sometimes so don’t be surprised about that; he’s an introvert so he likes being alone and company can be stifling at times, but don’t take it personally. You can both use some time to yourself so take advantage of it when you can!
Saix -
Saix is a lot like Xemnas in the sense that he likes being a provider. He enjoys knowing that you trust him enough to rely on him.
He’s very task-oriented. When the two of you plan out date nights, it’s on a schedule. When it’s time to work, it’s time to work. There will be time for goofing off later, so focus on the task at hand and enjoy what time you can get with him. Don’t be too offended if he brushes you off when you try to kiss him while he’s working - he doesn’t like leaving things unfinished, so just be patient and he’ll make it up to you
Business-man in the streets, wild animal in the sheets. Never leaves you unsatisfied and always willing to try something new, within reason.
Axel -
A playful partner that loves to see you smile. There will be no tears when you’re with Axel!!! Tears give him hives so he will do his best to try and make you laugh even if it means causing bodily harm to himself. He hates it when you’re sad.
Every day is fun! There aren’t any boring moments with Axel because his brain is always working on overdrive. It’s hard to keep up with him sometimes so there will absolutely be moments where you need to sit him down and tell him to chill out for a bit, but you can rest assured that your relationship with never be tedious
Being with him also means being with his friends - who are your friends, too! Friends are important to Axel and it’s important to him that you can hang out with Roxas and Xion when he does without it getting awkward. He’s happy to call you a friend, too, before he even refers to you as his ‘partner
Demyx -
Demyx is a gift giver, but it’s not like... huge extravagant gifts. It’s more along the lines of the idea that he just so happens to be at the market and he saw a hat that he thought you might like so he decided to get it for you for no reason other than the fact that it made him think of you
Duets? Absolutely. I feel like this pretty much goes without saying. He loves singing with you and enjoys hearing you belt out a tune when you’re in the shower or walking down the hallway or just playfully dancing with him in your bedroom
He can be an awkward bean when it comes to serious situations. He doesn’t like things to be too stern or serious because he doesn’t really know how to deal with it emotionally. He’ll suffer through it, but don’t be surprised if he tries to diffuse the tension by making a joke or something when you’re trying to talk about something important
Luxord -
the well-educated, refined husband with a wild streak. Luxord is like two different sides of the same coin. One one hand, he’s there if you need intelligent conversation, quiet mornings with cups of tea, curled up on the couch in front of the fire with old books. On the other hand, he can also absolutely be that husband who’s always up to something, naughty and mischievous and definitely knows more than he lets on.
He cares about you, so don’t worry. You’ll probably be in on his schemes, too, if not helping him create those schemes. He loves having you as a partner in crime.
The accent is also a plus, too, so you can brag to all your friends that your partner has a sexy accent
Marluxia -
Brings you flowers every day. You’ll wake up to large bouquets in front of your face and on the bathroom counter and don’t even get me STARTED on the amount of flowers you’ll receive on holidays and your birthday.
You want to be wined and dined and romanced? Marluxia is your best guy. He is always ready to pamper you and he’s always at like Level 100 with that shit, so be ready to be APPRECIATED IN ALL WAYS BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT
He smells nice, too tbh so he understands if you want to just curl up on top of him and press your face into his hair
Marluxia is a hopeless romantic. He makes every moment special, but make sure you take the time to romance him, too! Trust me, you won’t regret it.
Larxene -
A++ wife material, best wife ever and your equal in all things. she doesn’t want someone to protect her and she doesn’t want someone who will cower behind her. you’re partners, first and foremost
Doesn’t mind being the shoulder to cry on but is always ready to kick someone’s ass, too, so just let her know if you want to be comforted or if you’re looking for revenge because she’ll be standing right with you no matter what.
Has a healthy sex drive and is full on a top so be prepared to get your world rocked at all times. She’s so gorgeous and amazing that you can’t believe how lucky you are to even have the opportunity to be around her
Roxas - 
Not used to positive and healthy relationships in general so he may not do anything if you try to take advantage of him, but you can bet your ass that Xion and Axel are keeping a close eye to make sure that you’re treating him right because he treats you like royalty
He’s ready for whatever you want to do! Isn’t picky with activities, events, etc. He’s honestly just happy to be included in whatever you’re doing
That being said, he’s always so shocked that you want to spend time with him? Like sometimes you have to remind him “Roxas, we’re dating, I wouldn’t be with you if I didn’t want to spend time with you” and he’s just like :O
Xion -
the sweetest s/o you could ever have. She always puts your needs first even when she shouldn’t, so you’ll never have a problem if she has a say in it. She wants you to be happy and your happiness makes her happy!
BUT NO, she has to be happy too so you spend a lot of time helping her understand that she has every right to be happy and content and that she deserves to have good things in her life
lots of cuddles! lots of hugs and sweet kisses on the cheek or forehead or the nose. she’s shy about displays of affection, so you’ll be moving slow and steady, which isn’t a bad thing

The Lost Princess Chapter 65
Warnings: Still don’t know. 
Rating: SFW
Tumblr media
(A/N: you and the girl’s clothes don’t change. It’s only the boy’s clothes that do. I couldn’t find different outfits. Also, the ddd outfits looked hot)
After you and the gang visited Master Yen Sid, you all headed towards the gummi ship. Sora sat back in his chair as the ship chugged along.
“Okay, where to?” you asked. 
“Ummmmmm...” Sora said.
“Oh, come on. Would you get serious?” Roxy said. 
“Gimme a break, okay? I told you. These things take time.” 
“Gawrsh, is it just me, or is this turning into a routine?” Goofy asked. A quiet musical tune erupted inside the cockpit, surprising you all.
“Huh? What?” Donald asked. You all looked around for the source of the noise. Jiminy held a hand to his ear.
“It's comin' from you, Sora!” he said.
“Huh?” Sora asked. He searched his pockets and pulled out a device with the King's symbol on it. The icon of a telephone ringing was displayed on the screen. 
“What's this?” he asked. You and the others walked to Sora's chair to get a closer look.
“Got me! God, make it stop!” Yui said. Sora put it to his ear and shook it.
“But, I don't know how. Maybe...this,” he said. He pressed the green button on the screen and an video of Dale appeared.
“Hurray! He picked up,” Dale said. 
“Huh? Dale?” you asked. 
“Hey, Chipper, I finally got him! Hurry up, Chip!” Chipper ran next to Dale.
“Well, it's about time,” Chip said. 
“Chip?” Sora asked. 
“Ya gotta answer the phone, Sora, or we can't give ya updates. We got lots and LOTS of important stuff we want to tell ya!” Dale said. 
“That's why we asked Master Yen Sid to make sure you got this Gummiphone we made ya. So we'd be able to stay in touch with you at all times,” Chip said. Dale nodded, making a rectangle with his tiny fingers.
“AND it takes pictures,” he said. Jiminy jumped onto Sora's shoulder.
“Oh! You finally finished it. Say, with this Gummiphone, we can talk to each other across worlds. In fact, I might even try writing my journal on it,” he said. 
“Wow! Sounds like it's pretty handy, guys. So, what's so important?” Rumi said. 
“This! Back when you and Riku quested through the Sleeping Worlds, Riku recovered some secret research data that Ansem the Wise hid inside you,” Chip said. 
“Ansem's Code!” Dale said.
“Mm-hmm. We've been workin' our tails off tryin' to crack it and see what it says.” The video switched to a young man in a lab coat with long gray hair obscuring half of his face.
“The data has been encrypted, so we've only deciphered some of it,” he said. 
“Uncle Zexion!” the twins and Rumi said. 
“Huh?” you and Sora asked. 
“Oh... I guess we haven't spoken since the castle. I'm Ienzo. Aeleus is here too. Or as the twins and Rumi know as Lexaeus.” Aeleus walked behind Ienzo silently. He narrowed his eyes and stopped.
“Hey, Uncle Lexaeus!” Yui said. Aeleus didn’t say anything. 
“Aeleus, whatever's between you and Roxas, it's in the past,” Ienzo said. Aeleus continued walking and Ienzo sighed, turning back to the phone.
“Sora, the reason we're here is because you and your friends defeated our Nobodies, thereby "recompleting" us. We cast off our hearts by choice, make no mistake, but we didn't know that Xemnas--or rather, Xehanort--was deceiving us,” he said. 
“Actually, it’s our mom that’s working for Xehanort,” Roxy said.
“Queen Muki. How? I thought that she died from a Heartless attack.” 
“That’s what we all thought but she’s back and possessed by a Negaverse. Along with my mom as well,” Rumi said. 
“Hmm, I’m sorry that they’re working for Xehanort. But I know that you girls can break that possession. You do have their powers.” 
“True,” the girls said. 
“Are you working for Xehanort?” Goofy asked. 
“Not anymore. Xemnas--or Muki I should say--and Xehanort have no hold over us now. We're just students of the heart, exactly the same as we were before all of this began.”
“Yeah, right,” Donald said. 
“Hmm... But ya know, now that I think about it, Axel's on our side now,” you said. 
“Right!” the girls said. Donald crossed his arms, his eyes narrowing.
“We have friends we want to bring back to this world, just the same as you. To do that, we have to work together. In that spirit, Sora...” Ienzo said. He pressed a key on the computer terminal. “...we found some intriguing data in the bit of code we deciphered.” 
A digital readout of Sora and his Keyblade appeared on the D.T.D. screen.
“Is it about me?” he asked.
“Yes. In order to piece your memories back together, our teacher, Ansem the Wise, look a close look at your heart. And what he found...” Ienzo said. Half of Sora's model on the screen flashed, bringing up red data windows. “...is that your heart doesn't belong just to you.” 
“It doesn’t?!” you and the others asked. 
“Gawrsh, you don't seem surprised,” Goofy said to Sora. 
“Yeah. Honestly, I suspected as much. There's another heart inside mine. I think it's Roxas's. Just like Naminé is still inside Kairi's,” Sora said. 
“Interesting... Well, no one knows your heart better than you,” Ienzo said. He tapped his finger against the terminal. “To be honest, we still have a plethora of questions on our side, but...the idea has merit. It's incredible enough that you and your Nobody are able to coexist. If you share a heart...no wonder someone as remarkable as you caught Ansem the Wise's eye. We'll keep investigating based on your hypothesis. I'll be in touch.” 
Ienzo ended his side of the call, and it switched back to Chip and Dale.
“Okeydokey, we'll give you fellas a ring if there's anything else. Remember, me and Chip, the guys at Radiant Garden, and King Mickey and everybody are never far away,” Dale said.
“And Jiminy, would ya do us a favor? Teach Sora how to use the Gummiphone,” Chip said.
“Leave it to me,” Jiminy said. The call ended and Jiminy hopped down.
“I have to find Roxas and save him. The others are following Aqua's heart, so I'll follow Roxas's heart!” Sora said. You and the others nodded.
“Trust the guidance that your heart gives ya, Sora. That's what Master Yen Sid said,” Goofy said.
“Where to?” Vanitas asked. Sora smiled.
“Hey, Rumi,” he said. 
“Yeah?”
“Ready to head to your hometown?” Rumi smiled and so did you and the others. 
“Let’s go!” she said. 
~~~~
You and the group voyaged across the Ocean Between and found your destination, a sleepy village of eternal sunset, Twilight Town. You all walked casually down Market Street toward the Tram Common, passing clothing and accessory shops. Rumi ran ahead of you all, remembering all the good times she had with her family. 
“Gawrsh, we forgot to fill Master Yen Sid in on what happened. Should we go back?” Goofy said. 
“Why the hell am I not surprised?” Vanitas asked. 
“Hmm... You mean about Maleficent and Xigbar? No, the others have already got enough on their plates as it is. Why go stressing them out? The three of us know how to handle a couple of old adversaries, right?” Sora said.
“Yeah, I guess...” Yui said. 
“But doesn't that thing Pete said bother ya?” Roxy asked. 
“The black box?” Donald asked.
“Come on, we're talking about Pete. That means it's probably no big deal,” you said. 
“I don't know...” Vanitas said. The tram passed in front of you, its trolley bell ringing. 
“The tram!” Rumi and Sora said. 
“Sora, it hasn't been THAT long,” you said. 
“But it has for me, remember? I was trapped in the sleeping worlds for so long,” Rumi said. 
“Right. Forgot about that.” 
“Well, it feels like it has for me,” Sora said. 
“Maybe you're feeling what Uncle Roxas feels 'cause he misses home,” Roxy said. 
“Mm-hmm. Actually, I ran into Roxas in the Sleeping Worlds. It was like...seeing into his heart for the first time.” 
“And he was in the datascape, too,” Donald said. 
“Uh-huh. It was a test to see if your data version was ready to face the hurt that ya carry inside,” Goofy said.
“Was I ready? I do know hurt. When I lost Riku, (Y/N), and Kairi, and later when I lost the Keyblade, and you guys had to go on without me like that... Having no one to turn to was the worst kind of hurt. But that just shows how much you mean to me. Carrying around a little hurt can't be all that bad. Hurting is part of caring.” You and the others shared a glance. 
“He sounds like Data-Sora did,” Donald said. 
“Of course. Any Sora's still Sora,” Goofy said. 
“So wait... If Roxas feels something, then we're in the right place. Roxas, I'm gonna find you!” Sora said. He heard a voice, or rather, the words appeared in his head.
“Do you seek our liege?” the voice asked. 
“Huh?” Sora asked, stunned. 
“What is it?” Rumi asked. Suddenly, you chest started squeezing again and three Negaverses appeared. 
“Negaverses!” your friends said. Roxy saw how you were holding your chest and ran to you. 
“Go! I’ll make sure that (Y/N)’s okay!” she said. The others nodded and fought the Negaverses in the street until not a single one stood. After they were defeated, your chest stopped squeezing.
“You okay?” Donald asked as you stood up. 
“I think so,” you said. 
“Are the Negaverses the cause of all this?” Yui asked.
“Xigbar said that he put something in me. I think the Negaverses are behind all this.” Not too far away, was Sora questioning where the voice came from.
“Hmm... What was that voice? I know I heard it,” he said.
“I didn't hear it,” Rumi said. 
“You sure it wasn't the wind? Or somethin' else?” Vanitas asked. 
“I'm pretty sure...” 
“Where'd they come from?!” someone asked.
“Get the ice cream later!” another person said. 
“What? Hold up!” another person said.
“See? Voices,” Sora said. 
“Wait, I know those voices,” Rumi said. 
“...New ones?” Sora asked. Sora spun around to see a familiar trio running in from around a corner.
“What? Hayner? Pence! Olette!” Sora and Rumi said. The three continued running as a monstrous wave of Shadow Heartless rushed in from behind them.
“What is THAT?!” Roxy asked. The wave gained ground on them as Hayner noticed you and the group.
“Heeey! Sora!” Hayner said. They ran right past them as you and the others watched. “Hello, good-bye.”
“Hey, sis!” Olette said to Rumi. 
“Go! We got this,” Rumi said. You and the others took out your weapons as the wave spiraled into the air as if facing you all down. You and Sora provided several good hits on the flying swarm as Donald used his magic spells, Goofy providing defense, and the girls shooting range until the Demon Tide flew off into the sky and away from you all. Hayner, Pence, and Olette walked back over once the coast was clear.
“Hey, sis! You gonna give your siblings a hug or what?” Hayner said. 
“I don’t know. Should I?” Rumi teased. She giggled and ran to give her siblings a hug. 
“We missed you!” Pence said.
“Me too. But look at me now! Your younger sibling is a Spirit and is a lot better than you three!” Rumi said. 
“Whatever. You still can’t win a Struggle game! Hey, nice fightin'! Thanks, Sora and (Y/N),” Hayner said. 
“Hey guys! It’s been ages!” Sora said. 
“What? It hasn't been THAT long.” 
“Ya see?” you teased. 
“Donald! Goofy! How are ya?” Olette said. 
“We're good,” Donald said.
“Howdy there, Olette,” Goofy said. 
“I’m guessing you remember Rumi and what happened all those years ago,” Yui said.
“Yep. But we had help,” Pence said. 
“From us.” You and your friends turned around to see Ansem and Xemnas standing there. 
“Dad!” Rumi said as she ran to give Ansem a hug. 
“Hey, bug,” Ansem said. 
“Any luck on finding mom and Aunt Elena?” Roxy asked. Xemnas shook his head no. 
“I’m not surprised,” Yui mumbled. 
“So does this mean that weird stuff's going down again?” Pence asked. 
“You kidding, Pence? When have we ever seen a tornado of shadowy blobs before? It's not ‘weird.’ This is unprecedented,” Hayner leaned in.
“You know we can hear you right?” Ansem asked. The two boys froze and looked at their dad. 
“Yeah, we knew that,” Hayner said. 
“Whatever,” Ansem said.
“The creatures from the last time were bright white. These things must be new. Man, I can't wait to get to sleuthin',” Pence said.
“We're already done with the school project, silly,” Olette said. She turned to you and Sora. “Whatever's going on, you wouldn't be here unless you had a good reason.” 
“Which is?” Hayner asked. 
“Well, actually, we're looking for Roxas,” you said. 
“Roxas?” Olette asked. 
“That's funny... I don't know any Roxas, but the name sounds familiar,” Hayner said.
“Maybe we bumped into him somewhere,” Pence said. 
“Uh, that's one way to put it,” Donald said.
“Actually, he mighta been friends with another version of ya,” Goofy said. He pulled out a photo of Hayner, Pence, Olette, and Roxas standing in front of the Old Mansion, and handed it to Hayner.
“This photograph...” Olette said. 
“Yeah. We've got the same one,” Pence said. He pulled out his photo, where Roxas was missing, and Hayner remembered.
“Oh yeah! The other Twilight Town!” he said. They compared the two photos.
“It's like one of those ‘spot the differences’ puzzles...except really easy. I guess in that town, we're friends with this ‘Roxas’ person,” Pence said.
“Guys, let us help you track Roxas down,” Hayner said.
“Really?” you and the others asked. 
“Sure, he seems like a pretty cool guy.” 
“Yeah. He was,” Yui said. 
“One of the coolest uncles ever,” Roxy said. 
“Great. Then let's all go ask around town. If alternate-us knew Roxas, then maybe alternate-other folks did too,” Pence said. 
“Mm-hmm. Hey, you should go to the place in the photo. It’s our house. The three of us'll cover places in town,” Olette said. 
“The mansion’s still here?!” Rumi asked, excitedly. 
“Yep.” Rumi smile and headed towards the mansion, you and the others following close behind. Walking down the beaten path, you and the others came upon a trail of fruit.
“What's that?” Rumi asked. Goofy looked up, seeing a small group of Powerwild Heartless in the trees.
“Heartless!” he said. 
“I shouldn’t be offended by that, but for some reason I am,” Ansem said. 
“What do ya think they're up to?” Sora asked. Yui looked closer and saw a tiny rat trapped up in the tree.
“Look! On that branch. The Heartless have him surrounded!” she pointed.
“Oh no!” you said. 
“Let's help!” Rumi said. 
“Yeah!” You and the girls summoned your guardians while the others grabbed their weapons and the Heartless jumped down to fight. Once the Powerwilds were taken care of, the rat scurried down the tree toward you guys.
“Well, take care,” Sora said. You all started to walk away, leaving the rat alone with the multitude of fruit, some even bigger than himself. The rat sighed and ran in your direction. He latched onto Sora by his shoe and crawled up to his head. He grabbed two tufts of Sora's hair and jerked them back towards the fruit. Sora spun uncontrollably and started walking back the way they came, making very exaggerated movements. Roxy laughed and grabbed her phone and started recording.
“Wh-what is--” Sora asked. 
“This is fucking awesome!” Roxy laughed.
“Roxy!” Yui and Xemnas scolded. 
“Are you okay?” you asked. Sora stopped at an apple and the rat moved his hair downward, causing Sora to pick up the fruit.
“Lookie! That little feller's parked on your head,” Goofy said. The rat turned Sora around.
“Huuuh?” Sora asked. The rat pulled Sora's hair upward... “Would you cut that-” ...and then downward, picking up another apple.
“Sora, you've been hijacked,” Donald said. 
“Ya know, maybe he wants you to pick up the fruit for him,” Rumi said. The rat nodded, smiling.
“Okay, that's fine. But I can do it by myself,” Sora said. The rat hopped off Sora's head down to his hand, standing on the apple.
“I just need to collect the fruit?” Sora asked. The rat nodded again. “Right, then.”
Moments later, the fruit was gathered into a nice big pile. You, Vanitas, Sora, Donald, the girls, Xemnas, Ansem, and Goofy knelt down to the rat's level.
“So, what're you gonna do with all this, anyway?” you asked. The rat made a slicing, then swiping motion with his tiny, little arms.
“Huh?” you and Sora asked. You and the others exchanged glances of confusion and the rat sighed.
“Well, okay. You be careful going home,” Sora said as he stood up. You and the others headed towards the mansion.
“Bye-bye!” Rumi said. 
“See ya 'round!” Roxy said. The rat watched you all leave, then turned back to his pile of fruit. After exiting the woods, you and the others reached the Old Mansion. Rumi smiled and ran inside.
“Rumi!” Ansem said but she was already inside. Sora looked up at the white curtains blowing in the window and got a major surge of nostalgia. For a moment, it was not Sora looking up at the curtains, but Roxas. In the blink of an eye, Sora snapped out of it, feeling a sense of loss.
“Whaddaya think, guys? This place is even creepier than I remember,” Sora said. 
“It wasn’t always like this,” Ansem said. 
“Yeah. I remember when we would play hide and seek in that mansion,” Yui said. 
“Thankfully, with the help from the triplets, this house is starting to look like it was before everything happened.” You and the others stared at the door, hesitant to enter when a hand reached for Sora's shoulder.
“Hey, there,” someone said. Sora knocked the hand away and screamed, causing you, the twins, Vanitas, Xemnas, Ansem, Donald, and Goofy to jump in terror. Sora saw Hayner, Pence and Olette had joined you guys.
“Hayner!” Ansem scolded.
“Thanks for the heart attack!” Sora said.
“Oh, what? Did I scare you?” Hayner smirked. 
“Not a chance!” Donald said.
“Our bad,” Olette said. 
“Where did Rumi go?” Pence asked. 
“She ran inside the mansion. It’s been a while since she’s seen the place,” Yui said.
“So how did it go? Did ya get any leads?” you asked. Hayner looked toward Pence, who nodded.
“Nope, 'fraid not. The asking around thing was a total bust,” Pence said. 
“Yup. Our house is our last hope,” Hayner said. You all looked at the mansion.
“You guys ready?” Olette asked. 
“Another Twilight Town awaits!” Pence said.
“Yeah,” you and Sora said. You all entered the mansion finding Rumi, sitting at the steps. 
“You okay?” Ansem asked. 
“Yeah. Just wish this place was like it used to be,” Rumi said. 
“Don’t worry, sis. We’re building our way back to the way it was,” Hayner said. Rumi smiled and stood up.
“Where to?” she asked.
“Follow me,” Pence said. You all made your way to the basement, where Pence spotted a computer with numerous screens.
“Here we go!” he said. 
“Forgot that this was here,” Roxy said. Pence ran to the console and sat down.
“The password was...uh...’sea-salt ice cream,’ right?” he asked. 
“Right,” Yui said. Pence typed the password into the computer and the D.T.D. screen appeared. 
“Okay, I'm in. Let's get that transporter working...” he said. He typed another command into the computer, or attempted to, when the screen flashed red.
“Uhhh...” he said. He tried more keys, but only got access errors and locked data.
“Oh, man. The transporter's been protected,” he said. 
“Protected from what?” you asked. 
“I guess from us? We can't use it to get to the other Twilight Town.” 
“Why not? It worked before! We sent Sora and (Y/N) there!” Hayner said loudly. 
“Hayner!” Ansem scolded.
“Well that was then, and this is now,” Pence said. 
“And there's no other way?” Olette asked. 
“None that I know.”
“Great,” Sora said. His ringtone went off in his pocket and he pulled out the Gummiphone. He answered the call and Ienzo appeared on the screen.
“Hello, Sora. You wouldn't happen to be in front of a computer?” he said. 
“Huh? Well...yeah. But how'd you know that?” Sora said. 
“I was tinkering with Ansem's computer--you know, to decrypt the Code that was left in it? And I noticed that someone had logged in from another terminal. I figured it might be you.” 
“Oh! Yeah, the log terminal.” 
“You don't know what he said, do you?” Vanitas asked.
“Oh, and what, you do?” Ienzo laughed to himself.
“I know I haven't got a clue. A-hyuck!” Goofy said. 
“Then, uhh...who was it that logged in?” Ienzo asked. 
“Oh, hi there. This is Pence.” Sora held the phone towards Pence.
“I remember. You’ve grown a lot since I last saw you,” Ienzo said.
“Right. The attack. Well, I'm the one who logged into the computer.” 
“Good. As long as it's a user that we know we can trust.” 
“Yup. But, I'm kind of stuck here.” Hayner crossed his arms impatiently.
“Don’t even think about it, Hayner,” Rumi whispered to him. 
“One of the programs is protected, so...I can't run it,” Pence said. Hayner sighed impatiently.
“Which program?” Ienzo asked. 
“The transporter to the other Twilight Town!” Hayner exploded, making Ienzo startled. 
“Hayner!” Ansem scolded as he pulled Hayner by the collar.
“It's the only way to find Roxas. You gotta help us,” Rumi said. 
“Another Twilight Town? And a ‘transporter’? Okay... A virtual town inside the computer, made of data,” Ienzo said. Jiminy popped out of Sora's hood.
“Gah! I keep forgetting he’s there!” Roxy said. 
“A datascape! Fellas...” Jiminy said.
“Mm-hmm, we've seen one. That's what we used once to investigate Jiminy's journal,” Goofy said. 
“Maybe I can do something. Pence, let's get a network set up. My address here is...” Ienzo said. The time it took to set up this network mixed with the inherent technobabble between Ienzo and Pence, Sora had fallen asleep holding the phone. The computer made a sound through his snoring.
“Okay, sharing is enabled,” Ienzo said. Sora awoke with a start.
“Huh? Were you able to fix it?” he asked. 
“Now that our two computers have been successfully networked together, I can take control of the terminal there and change the privileges...” 
“And Roxas?” you asked. 
“Yes. For the virtual world to be completely realized, Ansem the Wise would've included Roxas's full data in the construction. Meaning, somewhere on your machine there's a log of that data that--” He paused, thinking how to translate this into Sora-speak. “Uhh...basically, we can decipher Ansem's Code more quickly, AND we can analyze the virtual Twilight Town while we're at it.” 
“Okay. Great! I can't computer so...do that,” Sora said. Vanitas snorted in the background, causing Xemnas to elbow him.
“Glad you're following along. Don't worry, we'll handle it. Chip and Dale will be helping me out here on this end. I'll call you back as soon as we know anything more,” Ienzo said.
“Thanks,” you said.
“Oh, before I forget--a bit of troubling news. It's about one of the Organization's former members. You and the twins knew him as Vexen--but to us he was Ansem's apprentice Even. He was recompleted like the rest of us, but hadn't regained consciousness yet. Then, sometime after Lea left, Even vanished. Aeleus and Dilan--the two you know as Lexaeus and Xaldin--they went out looking for him, but...he's just gone. And I'm starting to worry.”
“You think he's on THEIR side?” Xemnas asked. 
“I think it's a real possibility. He's a devious researcher. You should be careful.” 
“All right. Thanks,” Sora said. Sora hung up and pocketed the phone.
“Oh no! We got work! I totally forgot,” Hayner said. 
“Alright. Text me when you get there,” Ansem said. 
“We can take care of ourselves dad,” Olette said.
“Yet you were nearly attacked by a group of Heartless.”
“Damn it. Alright fine. We’ll text you,” Hayner said. Hayner started to rush off.
“Really? But what about all this?” Pence asked. 
“Hey, both are important. We're gonna need some cash to go to the beach. Also, don't forget the pretzels. Gotta buy five now.” Pence thought and counted on his fingers.
“Ohh. I get it,” he said. 
“He's thinking ahead,” Rumi said. Pence laughed. 
“Later, guys,” Hayner said. 
“Yeah. See ya, Hayner!” Sora said. Hayner walked to the entrance and Olette followed.
“Bye, Donald! Goofy!” Olette said. 
“Good-bye!” Donald and Goofy waved. 
“Oh, and since I'm manning the computer here, you guys're in charge of earning my share,” Pence said. 
“No pretzel for Pence,” Hayner joked. Olette giggled and the two of them left.
“Hey!” Pence exclaimed. He sighed, making you and the others chuckle. You and the others left the mansion.
“So, you think you can bring Roxas back?” someone asked. You and the others turned to see Elena standing against the wall with her arms crossed, looking at them snidely.
“Elena!” Ansem said. A corridor of darkness appeared next to her and her sister emerged from its depths.
“Muki!” Xemnas said. 
“Roxas should never have existed in the first place. What you seek is impossible,” Muki said. 
“Roxas does exist. His heart's inside my heart,” Sora said. 
“And in the unlikely event you did manage to separate the two, where is it you think you can put his heart?” 
“Well...Roxas used to live in the other Twilight Town, right? So, I'm just gonna put him back there,” you said. 
“Do you even realize what you are saying? The other Twilight Town is just data,” Elena said. 
“A heart can live anywhere. Even inside data. There are hearts all around us,” Roxy said.
“Hmm. Elena and Muki are possessed by Negaverses. And so were Ansem and Xemnas. Those two used to be part of the same person, right? But look. Now, they exist separately just fine. If they can do it, then I don't see any reason why you and Roxas can't find a way,” Goofy said. 
“Oh...yeah!” Sora said. 
“Yeah! You tell 'em, Captain Goofy!” Donald said. 
“You got a point there,” Yui said. With newfound exuberance, you and the others faced the two Spirits.
“In that case, by all means,” Elena said. 
“Nothing would please us more than Roxas's return, of course,” Muki said. 
“If you wanted him to return then you wouldn’t be doing this. Muki, you’re queen of the Organization. You can fight this possession. Just like I did,” Xemnas said. 
“Yeah. If the Organization decides to break up, he'll never answer to you again,” you said. 
“Still so blind. A Nobody is what's left behind when one gives his heart to darkness. There is only one way to bring Roxas back, which is for you to give your heart up as well. Sora, (Y/N), have you finally decided to call upon the darkness?” Muki said as she pointed towards you and Sora.
“What?” you and Sora asked. 
“Go on then. The shadows are never out of reach,” Elena said. She smirked as a herd of Neoshadow Heartless appear behind them. Muki  waves her hand and Negaverses join them, causing your chest to squeeze again. Sora glared at them.
“Now, set your heart free,” they said as they disappeared. 
“Wait!” Sora said. 
“Sora!” the others said. Sora ran to join them as Vanitas and Xemnas brought you to safety.
“Go. I’ll watch over her,” Xemnas said. Vanitas nodded and ran to go join the others. 
“It's not darkness. Not if it helps him!” Sora said
“Focus at the task at hand, idiot!” Vanitas said. Together, they defeated the Heartless and Negaverses. Donald and Goofy regrouped once the fighting was done, while Sora stood by himself, silently. Xemnas carried you over to the others, you being passed out from the tight squeeze of your chest. 
“Herc said... He said, ‘With all my heart.’ Okay. Then all my heart it is. I'm getting Roxas out,” Sora said. He turned to you and the others.
“Are you with me, guys?” he asked. The others nodded in agreement. 
“I have to bring (Y/N) back to Yen Sid’s. A Negaverse has possessed her and we need to remove it before something bad happens,” Xemnas said. 
“So it was the Negaverses!” Sora said.
“Yes. (Y/N)’s lucky that she has a lot of light inside of her. Otherwise, she would’ve ended up like Muki and Elena.” 
“I’m coming with. I think they can handle this,” Ansem said as he looked at Sora and the others. 
“You got it!” Roxy said. 
“Hey, take care of my sister for me,” Vanitas said. 
“We will,” Xemnas said. They opened a corridor and walked through it. 
“Okay then. Let's head back to town,” Yui said. Sora nodded and they ran back through the woods to town, interrupted by a familiar voice.
“Well, bless my bagpipes! It was YOU laddies who rescued my chef,” the voice said. Donald and Goofy stopped at the sound of the voice near a plaza where they see an elderly duck with a cane, top hat, and glasses. Tucked under one arm was a box.
“It's Uncle Scrooge!” Donald said. Sora, Vanitas, Rumi, and the twins walked back. 
“Huh? Wait... Didn't he sell ice cream in Hollow Bastion?” Sora asked. 
“That's right. But Uncle Scrooge here's what you might call a world traveler,” Goofy said. 
“Cool,” Vanitas said. Donald ran up to Scrooge McDuck with Sora, Vanitas, Rumi, the twins, and Goofy in tow.
“How are ya, Uncle Scrooge?” Sora asked.
“Oh! Hello! You're lookin' hale and hearty. I heard ye were on another grand adventure with these two. I hope Donald isn't making a menace of himself,” Scrooge said. Donald shook his head in embarrassment.
“Aw. Why did you have to say that?” he said. 
“So, Uncle Scrooge, what's that you were sayin' about a chef?” Rumi asked. 
“Och! Right, right. The chef of me bistro here wanted to show ye his appreciation, so he baked this for ye.” He held out the box and Sora took it.
“What is it?” Yui asked. Sora opened the box seeing a decadent dessert topped with fruit.
“Wow, cake!” Sora and the others said. Scrooge's top hat twitched, getting his attention.
“The whole cake? It's for us?” Roxy asked. The hat twitched some more, puzzling Sora.
“Aye, settle down... The chef wants ye to know it's not a cake, but a 'tarte aux fruits',” Scrooge said.
“He does?” Goofy asked. 
“Why keep it under my hat? May I introduce...” Scrooge took off his top hat, revealing the gray rat from earlier, who hopped down onto the crown of the hat. “Little Chef.”
“Oh! It's you!” Rumi said. 
“Uncle Scrooge, you opened a bistro in Twilight Town?” Donald asked. 
“Aye. It all started a little while ago, when I was enjoying one of the best meals of my life.” Little Chef smiled and nodded. 
“And when I asked to speak to the chef, I met this wee genius,” Scrooge said. Little Chef striked a confident pose.
“As it turns out, he wanted to expand his culinary horizons. So, I thought: that's an opportunity. And I financed the whole operation,” Scrooge said. Little Chef mimed cutting, preparing, and serving a dish.
“Ooh, I think he wants to cook some more for ye.” The happy rat smiled eagerly.
“Fetch some ingredients. Especially anything unusual.” 
“That'll be fun! Kinda like a scavenger hunt,” Rumi said. 
“An' the more the better. The mark of a truly great chef is creating masterpieces out of anything. Ye can start right here in town.”
“We'll do anything to try more of Little Chef's food,” Yui said.
“Yeah!” Roxy said. Little Chef scratched his head meekly.
“That tarte sure did look scrumptiously delicious,” Goofy said. 
“Okay! The ingredient hunt is on,” Sora said. The others nodded in agreement. After searching town for ingredients, they returned to Le Grand Bistrot.
“Hey, guys!” Hayner said. They turned to see Hayner and Olette running towards them.
“Hayner! Olette!” Rumi said. 
“What miss us already?” Hayner teased. 
“Can you blame me? I was trapped in a sleeping world for a long time!” 
“Where’s dad and Uncle Xemnas?” Olette asked. 
“(Y/N)’s been possessed by a Negaverse so they went to go take care of it,’ Roxy said. 
“Oh no! Will she be okay?” 
“Yeah. She has a lot of light inside her heart so the Negaverse didn’t turn her into what mom and Aunt Muki are,” Rumi said. 
“Well, that’s good,” Hayner said. Scrooge walked out from behind them.
“Hey, boss. Done with the posters,” Hayner said. 
“Aye, good work, kids,” Scrooge said. 
“You guys work for Uncle Scrooge here at the bistro?” Goofy asked. 
“Umm... Do we?” Hayner asked. He looked over at Olette, who pulled out a poster.
“He gave us a short job putting up these special posters,” she said. She unraveled the black-and-white poster which was titled "Mickey & Sora in 'GIANTLAND'" depicting a club-carrying bearded giant, holding up a rogue-dressed Mickey Mouse who looked ready to fight.
“Mr. McDuck's hosting an open-air film festival in the courtyard. Cool, huh?” she said. Sora and the others gazed at the poster curiously.
“Oh. Sora... Hold your phone up to the poster,” Olette said. Sora took out the Gummiphone.
“'Kaaay...” he said. Olette gestured to the scrambled icon in the corner of the poster. Sora pointed the phone's camera at it and it scanned the code with a bright sound. Olette rolled the poster back up.
“There, you've just downloaded a promo game for the film. You can try it later,” she said. Donald turned to his rich uncle.
“You did all this, Uncle Scrooge?” he asked. 
“Of course, laddie. Provide a bit of entertainment, and then give folks a nice, cozy place to relax,” Scrooge said. He gestured to the restaurant, pointing at the logo with his cane.
“Like me bistro here. They'll all be happy, an' hungry, an' eager to spend their money,” he said. He cackled to himself.
“Uncle Scrooge...” Donald said. 
“Gawrsh, he sure is canny. I always wondered how he keeps customers comin' into his businesses over and over,” Goofy said. 
“Oh, yeah, I'm no business guy, but I sure wouldn't wanna be one of Uncle Scrooge's competitors,” Vanitas said.
“Seriously,” Hayner said. He and the others laughed. 
“Oh! Right. I need to warn you guys,” Sora said. 
“Why?” Hayner asked. 
“Well, those creepy-crawly things along with the Negaverses might come back for more, so stay on your toes,” Vanitas said. 
“Sure. But don't we have you guys to take care of 'em for us?” 
“You have to leave AGAIN?” Olette asked. Rumi nodded.
“It's our job,” Roxy said.
“But we'll definitely be back,” Yui said. 
“When ya gonna slow down?” Hayner asked.
“Sorry. Just do me a favor...” Sora said. 
“Well, what is it? Don't make it too tough.” 
“I know how Roxas feels. To be lost. But Donald and Goofy, (Y/N)...Kairi... brought me back by wishing with all their hearts.” Vanitas, Rumi, the twins, Donald & Goofy nodded. “So...I was hoping the three of you would do the same, and wish for Roxas.”
“What? That's it?” Hayner chuckled. “That's no favor. We'll all wish. I'm wishin'.”
“Yeah! Me and Pence too,” Olette said. 
“Thanks.” On the roof of a nearby building, Elena and Muki watched from above. From behind them, a dark portal opened and Xigbar strutted out.
“Aren't you making it a little too obvious?” Xigbar asked.
“We were instructed to guide him,” Muki said. 
“Yes...just look at them. They wouldn't get far if we did not spell it out,” Elena said.
“Fair enough. But let's not forget how many times Sora, (Y/N), and the girls still managed to rain on our parade.”
“If he wavers from the path we lay, we destroy him,” Elena said. 
“But in that case...we'll have to find ourselves another vessel.” 
“That is why we never have just one iron in the fire,” Muki said. 
To be continued...

OkAaay. This is my idea of Riku finding Sora after all this time, only to find that Sora has been taken over by the darkness (like Aqua) and he’s in his anti-Sora form. But the ones that crazy and uncontrolled like KH 2, not the one in KH 3. Since they are very different in KH 2 and KH 3. KH 2’s anti-Sora form is when he’s like CRAZY and fighting with his bare hands and darkness is all around him. KH 3 one is a little more controlled and still uses the keyblade (I think he does). So yeah. This is my little idea and I hope y’all like it! Also, I couldn’t remember what everyone was doing at the end of KH 3 my bad.
He had been searching for over a year. He and all of Soras friends have been looking for him. As soon as Kairi came back without Sora, Rikus heart dropped. He remembered the moment clearly.
They were all on the beach at Destiny Islands, all trying to have a bit of a good time. Everyone was doing their own thing. Riku and Ventus were racing for the frisbee, accidentally knocking over Donald’s little sand castle of himself, causing Donald to make a lot of noise. Xion and Namine were picking out seashells, like the precious girls they were. King Mickey was watching everyone, a sparkle in his eye showed that he was having a good time. Terra and Roxas were racing each other, Aqua at the very end waiting for them.
Everyone heard a really big splash, causing them to look out into the ocean to see a figure far away walking to the shore. Once they got closer, Riku noticed it was Kairi. He got excited and started running towards her, so he could greet her. However, he noticed that Sora was missing, he wasn’t next to her where he should be. He continued to run, just assuming that he was under the water and was about to pop up, but when he kept getting closer, that spiky hair was nowhere to be seen.
Once he got to her, she had her head down, but looked up at him and had tears running down her cheeks. His heart dropped at the sight.
Sora wasn’t here.
Ever since that day, everyone had the same mission. To find Sora. Everyone was watching themselves too, everyone but Riku. Sora was always on his mind. It’s like he just couldn’t escape from thinking about Sora. It’s as if Sora just overtook his thoughts, but it didn’t matter to Riku. He promised that he’d find Sora, no matter what he had to do.
And then one day, he was training like normal, but suddenly got a feeling. He stopped fighting and stood there for quite awhile. It disappeared for a few minutes, and Rikus heart dropped. He knew that feeling, it was the feeling he had with Sora. It was their connection coming back to life again. He stood there and tried to chase that feeling with his heart or find it again, but he couldn’t. Because of that little spark, he headed back out into the worlds Sora had been too. He went to every world Sora had been too and looked around everywhere, but never got that spark back again. He talked to multiple people and asked if they’d seen him, but no one did.
He felt a little lost and scared that he’d never be able to feel that connection again, but pushed it aside as he went back to Yen Sids tower, feeling defeated.
And now, after a year, he was walking in the Realm of Darkness once more. He was by himself because he, and everyone else, believed that he was the only one that could find Sora. He thought that he just had to follow their connection. He was there because it was his last hope. He had gone to every other world, and the connection couldn’t spark again, so he came here hoping to feel it again and make it lead back to Sora. He stood in the darkness and looked around. He heard the quiet sound of scurrying from the heartless everywhere. He ignored it and closed his eyes, slowed his breathing, and listened to just maybe feel that connection again.
He listened and listened and waited. After around 10 minutes, that spark came back. He opened his eyes with excitement. “Sora could be here,” Riku thought. This lightened his heart up a bit, and he felt like his heart was pulling him to keep going deeper, so he did. He listened to his heart and he was eventually lead to a place that was familiar.
It was the little ocean that he and Sora were lost at before. He remembers that Sora and him agreed on staying here. He couldn’t help the way his heart raced a bit when he remembered how Sora was happy to just be by his side. However, it all stopped when he walked closer and saw a figure.
A figure with spiky hair, but they were all dark. The figure was crouched down at the water line, but suddenly stood up, faster than a normal person, and looked towards Riku. This figure had bright, yellow eyes like the heartless, but once it got closer, he realized who it was.
It was Sora. His Sora, the one he loved more than anything, but he was lost in the darkness now. It even took over his body, just like it did to Riku. He couldn’t lie, he felt a little fear run through him, but not for his sake. It was for Sora. Who knows what he’s going through right now? Who knows what he’s BEEN through?
Anti-Sora kept looking at him, some noises escaping from him but he couldn’t make a sense of what they were. However, after a few seconds, he turned into a shadow and started rushing towards him, a darkened keyblade in his hand, surrounded by darkness flowing.
He summoned his keyblade and blocked Anti-Soras attack. Anti-Sora got up and close to him, his noises turning out to be words.
“Gone...”
Rikus eyebrows furrowed in worry. He hope he doesn’t mean that everyone abandoned him. He hopes that Sora knows that, but he doesn’t know. Anti-Sora pulled back and his form was so...wrong. It wasnt Soras natural form. He was on all fours, keyblade suddenly gone, and was basically bouncing, as if he was trying to strike but something wouldn’t let him. Was it the real Sora? He didn’t know, so he stood there, keyblade still out and ready to defend just in case, but not to attack. He couldn’t bare hurting Sora on accident. Especially when he’s not in control. Anti-Sora was just there, bouncing around trying to attack, but couldn’t.
However, Riku didn’t move either. He decided to talk to him, to get the real Sora to come out, to help him find his way back home.
“Hey, Sora. It’s me, Riku,” he started off, quietly. His held his hands out in front of him, summoning his keyblade away (just in case it made Anti-Sora afraid). Anti-Sora just sat there, mumbling words still coming from him.
“Lost....”
“Yes, I know you’re lost, but I’m here. Let me take you home.”
At the word “home” he noticed that Anti-Sora perked up a bit. As if he was excited to go home, which Riku bet he was. However, Riku still saw Anti-Sora shake his head and let out a growl. He rushed towards Riku, only his bare hands out, and Riku dodged away. He was a little afraid to use his keyblade, he thought he might hurt him, which was the last thing he wanted to do. However, Anti-Sora didn’t care. He kept leaping after him and Riku only had limited time to avoid him. And on one attack, he didn’t dodge in time and got 3 little scratch marks on his arm. It didn’t hurt too bad, but there was some pain there.
What surprised him was that when he got hurt and let out a little shout of pain, Anti-Sora leaped away from and stared at him. Riku swears he saw some form of pain and regret in his big, yellow eyes. Anti-Sora looked down at his hands and saw some blood on them, and he looked...disgusted. Riku then remembered, that it is Sora underneath everything. He knows Sora wouldn’t hurt him on purpose. This caused his heart to panic a little. He thought that Anti-Sora might be angry at himself and run away. He couldn’t let that happen, so he stood up slowly and raised his hands out once again.
“Hey, I’m okay. I know you don’t mean it, Sora. I’m right here for you. We can go home and everything will be okay.” He tried to use that voice he used towards Sora. The one filled with affection, love, and that calmness he always managed to do whenever Sora was hurt. His voice was a little shaky out of emotion, but he remained mostly calm. After all, it was Sora underneath the darkness. It’s what Riku kept reminding himself. Anti-Sora slowly crawled towards him, his head tilted as if he was curious. Riku nodded and smiled. “Yeah, it’s me, Sora. Just come with me and it’ll be okay. Best friends promise.”
“...best friend...?”
His voice sounded a bit clearer, as if Sora was breaking through, but darkness still had a little hold on him. Riku nodded and decided to get on his knees on the hard ground. He held his arms open like he was going to give a hug, but only if Sora would come to him. Anti-Sora let out a little purr and leaped into Rikus arms. His legs wrapped around his waist, arms wrapped around his neck, and his cheek rested against Rikus cheek. Riku noticed that Anti-Sora still looked tense, so he hugged him back the best that he could.
“...real...?”
That little word broke Rikus heart. What had Sora seen down here? What had he gone through? Did he truly believed Riku wasn’t here? In response, he hugged him tighter and ran his hand through his hair.
“Yes. I’m really here, Sora. I promise.” Before he knew it, tears were rolling down his face. He knew it wasn’t the true Sora just yet, but just...holding him and seeing him at all, released all the emotions he’d been holding back. All the emotions he repressed just so he could find Sora, and now he had. His wish finally came true and he finally found Sora.
After who knows how long, Riku stood up with Sora in his arms. He looked at his face, but he seemed like he was asleep. Riku then worried even more. Did Sora even ever sleep down here? Riku knows how tiring it is here and how it’s hard to ever have a moments rest. He’s surprised how he and Anti-Sora even got a chance to find each other with no heartless appearing. However, he doesn’t question it, he’ll take any blessings he can get, and this was the best one of all. Other than just being Soras best friend.
Once they escaped the Realm of Darkness, Soras form seemed a little less tainted, his hair was back to its original brown, his face back to the face Riku loves with his whole heart, but his body was still covered in darkness. Sora would occasionally let out a little whimper and Riku would hug him tighter and whisper, “it’s okay. I’m right here,” to comfort him in whatever was going on behind his closed eyelids. He hopes it helps him and it seemed like it kinda did by the way Sora would lighten his grip on Riku.
Once they got to Master Yen Sids tower, he went straight to Master Yen Sid, and he looked shocked but happy. “I see you’ve found the little one,” he said with a smile. Riku smiled back and nodded. “I did...but he was covered in darkness. As you can see, he still is a little bit. What should I do?” Master Yen Sid looked at the sleeping Sora, noticing him tightening his grip whenever someone spoke, as if he was afraid. Master Yen Sid stroked his beard in though.
“Do you think I should dive into his heart?” Riku asked him with worry clear in his voice.
“It might work. However, be careful. He still has darkness inside him and I can see you didn’t make it out unscathed.”
Riku looked down at his arm where the 3 scratches were. The bleeding dried up, so it just needed a bandage or a healing spell to make it go away. However, that was the last thing on his mind. He just wanted to save Sora from whatever was trapping him. Riku nodded at Master Yen Sid and rested Sora on the ground like he had done once so long ago. He summoned his keyblade and pointed it at Sora, ready to dive into his beloveds heart.
Once he did, he was on Soras awakening station, but it was covered in darkness. He expected Anti-Sora to be somewhere here, but instead he saw Sora standing in the middle, completely still.
“Sora!” Riku ran towards Sora and got in front of him to look at him. Once he touched him, Sora’s eyes opened wide and he looked at Riku. He reached out for him, but before he touched him, he pulled his hand back as if he was burned from the air and turned around and walked away from Riku.
“You’re not really here. You’re not here,” he whispered, his voice shaking with sadness. Rikus heart broke at that denial.
“I’m right here, Sora. I promise,” he said as he walked closer to Sora. Soras arms were crossed and his back was turned to Riku. Riku walked to him and put his hand on his shoulder. “Please...look at me.”
Sora let out a small gasp and turned around. Riku was so happy to see a smile on Soras face and the way he was excited to see Riku.
“You’re real!” Sora shouted as he threw himself at Riku.
Riku caught him, obviously, and hugged him as tight as he could.
He found him. He finally found his beloved after so long.
OkaYYYY. I hope this was good! I like it but I didn’t know how to end it so it’s kinda bad at the ending my bad! But I hope y’all liked it and my requests are open for whatever y’all want me to write.
Btw if ya wanna know why Sora didn’t think Riku was real, check out my other fic where Sora keeps seeing fake Rikus in the realm of darkness >:)

full request:  Is it okay we get a continuations of how the slient wild (war) child terrorizing their caretakers, but they actually say something which is surprising to them because cute gremlin was very quiet for the whole week and they mange somehow to use their magic. After the week is up they tell s/o once they are back to normal how much a little adorable and slient demon they was. With the same cast with III ,II and V, Vii added in. Please if you can?  I forgot to add to the previous I sent about s/o turning into a child who is wild and slient, when they finally calms down or goes to sleep. 
Under the cut only because its over 4 pages long on google docs… so idk how long it’ll be on mobile :) 
[Most of] Organization XIII Taking Care of Their Child S/O
(a continuation of this post) 
Xemnas
Xemnas kept you with him for the entire week, refusing to let you out of his or Saix’s sight after you attempted to steal Xaldin’s lances, and he just gave it to you because he deemed Luxord too loud, so there was a gremlin child with a lance running around. 
The lance was three times your size but that didn’t stop you it’s a knife stick
Xemnas found it normal that you were silent; you typically were more on the reserved side, you know, when you were an adult; however, when your child self muttered out a quiet “dumbass” at what Demyx did, he struggled to keep his stoic composure. 
You remembered how to use your magic in .3 seconds and Xemnas cut that in the bud; no attacking anyone with magic or else- there was nothing to that “or else” but it’s the principle of it
You fall asleep on his chest while he was gazing at kingdom hearts, your hands balled into little fist and clinging onto the drawstrings of his coat. Xemnas found it absolutely adorable. 
Xemnas holds it over your head when you become normal, while Xaldin told you if you wanted to impale Luxord with a lance, you were more than welcome to. 
Xigbar
Xigbar honestly kept forgetting you, 1/10 stars would not rec. as silent child babysitter; your silent demeanor causing him issues whenever you stole someone’s weapons, Larxene being your main target, just for you to hide with a dagger that you found absolutely hilarious for whatever reason. 
Larxene did not appreciate it in the slightest but you are very good at hiding so she would forget until you would attempt to throw it at the wall. 
Xigbar kept you with him under his coat a lot of the time, encouraging you to mess with his space magic opposed to your own, distracting you from hurting yourself. 
You finally spoke in the middle of a meeting, staring at Axel the entire time, blatantly saying “you’re a red hedgehog,”, leaving an offended Axel and Xigbar attempting to not die laughing. 
You fell asleep shortly after that, curled up in his lap, holding onto his hand while the meeting finished. 
Xigbar teases you relentlessly for your demonic behavior while you were also being adorable; Larxene and Axel are still a little peeved. 
Xaldin
Xaldin didn’t sign up for this. He did not ask for his lovely darling to become a terrorizing, silent child who fancied attempting to use magic on other members when they got too loud. It was funny though. 
You were sitting in his lap when you deemed Luxord too loud, stealing his cards and running back to curl up in Xaldin’s lap, your little demonic smile only visible to him while Luxord was defeated.
You stayed with Xaldin, his side eye enough to keep you in check, while you silently walked about your day beside him, holding onto his hand, skipping around. 
He was able to keep you from hurting anyone with your magic, but you still decided to attempt to steal his lances. He did not let you steal his lances. 
You passed out after having a sugar high, after eating a lot of xaldin’s cookies, falling asleep on the couch, just for Xaldin to pick you up and carry you to bed; that didn’t go without your sugar high self yelling “PIRATE” at Xigbar before you passed out. 
Xaldin teases you about it, asking you periodically if Xigbar is a pirate, while you blush at your week of being a hellbent child. 
Vexen
Vexen has taken care of a silent child, Ienzo/Zexion, but not a silent demon child who keeps using the lab as a shield (heh) from an irritated member whose weapon you’ve stolen. 
He keeps you in one seat in the lab so you don’t decide to taste a test tube. However, he didn’t stop you from using magic. He just… doesn’t care. 
Vexen kept you relatively well, keeping you from performing your own experiments, while also making sure you stop terrorizing other members. Not for their sake; he wants to be left alone. 
You finally spoke whenever vexen was speaking with Xemnas; simply saying “You’re wrong,” and shoving a lab report in Vexen’s hands, walking off to find another book
You then proceed to pass out between the few bookshelves in the lab, Vexen finding you and wrapping you in a lab coat, placing you in his chair before falling asleep with you in his lap
When you got back to normal, Vexen teases you about being “lab-ridden”, still reminding you that you even corrected him as a child. 
Lexaeus
You lived on his shoulders, Lexaeus keeping you there so that he knew where you were- he towered over you before, but now he was a giant over you
You say with him most of the time, clinging onto his leg or sitting in his arm, sometimes sneaking off to annoy Demyx, before returning to him. 
You only used your magic to annoy Demyx a couple of times, before running back between Lexaeus’s legs, silently giggling before Lexaeus picks you up to keep you from distributing anyone else
You spoke at Zexion when he and Lexaeus were talking silently, saying “You have one eye” very matter-of-factly before just hiding behind Lexaeus’s leg. Zexion did not appreciate it. Lexaeus thought it was funny. 
You fell asleep on top of him, your head against his, your arms wrapped around his neck, before he had to pry you off of him to rest you in his lap
Once you returned to normal, Lexaeus reminded you how adorable you were despite being a slight pain. He’ll still put you on his shoulders though. 
Zexion
Zexion kept you with him, normally ending up in the library to take you away from the lab, holding onto your hand to keep track of you. 
You listened well enough, your silence matching his quiet nature, while you still decided it would be fun to attempt to steal a knife or too from Larxene. Knives are fun. 
Zexion let you play with your magic in the library, making sure that there was a good guideline set of you can’t kill anyone because you are a child. 
You fell asleep in Zexion’s lap while he was in the library, resting your head against his chest while he continued reading; however, he pulled his attention to you when you were being absolutely adorable like this
You woke up to Xigbar talking to him, your attention focused on him while you glared at him for interrupting your 5th nap of the day, grumpily saying, “You talk too much,” and falling back asleep.. 
Zexion encourages you to nap on him after you return to normal; he finds it absolutely adorable when you nap on him. He still thinks it’s funny that the entire week you kept a knife of Larxene’s hidden from her. 
Saix
Literally, you clung onto his leg or hand for the entire week, his rbf still going strong while you looked around wide eyed for the entire week, staying very close to him
That was, until you got tired of him talking to Axel for too long, deciding to tap Axels hand until he paid attention to you, just for you to attempt to use your magic, almost hitting him in the face god Saix to snicker at this. 
After that, you weren’t allowed to use magic, but he can’t deny that it wasn’t hilarious. However, he kept a closer eye on you while you still attempted to annoy Axel. Because he’s fun to annoy. 
You fell asleep in the middle of a meeting, waking up when Saix was gazing at kingdom hearts; he held you close to him while you clung onto his hood. You then fell back asleep. Saix won’t admit it but you were absolutely adorable when you clung onto him. 
That was also when you spoke to him in between naps, loud enough for him to hear you simply say ,”warm”, and snuggle back against him. He doesn’t have a heart but if he did it would explode. 
Saix subtly teases you about the way you attempted to attack Axel because he wouldn’t be quiet when you were still in kid form; Axel is still salty about it. He also tells you that you were adorable. A lot. But he won’t admit that he tells you that. 
Axel 
Axel is warm. The castle is not. By proxy, you were clinging onto him. He’s warm. Also he knows you know how to use your magic still and thats a terrifying thought
He normally rest you on his shoulders until you decided to yank his hair as hard as humanly possible for your tiny body, then you were set to just be held against his chest. You gremlin. Once you decided to stay by his legs, holding onto his leg before you wondered off in the grey area, going over to Demyx and pulling down his sitar. He was very offended. 
Axel found it a little strange how particullary silent you were, refusing to communicate except through head nods, yes and no, and smiles or irritated faces. 
You fell asleep against him, your arms wrapped around his neck, softly snoring while he spoke to Saix about whatever was nessicary 
You woke up, Axel now talking to Roxas, before you looked over at Roxas, quietly saying “You both have the same hair,” before falling back asleep, Axel laughing at you 
Once you got back to normal, Axel commented on how quiet you were and how you attempted to terrorize everyone at least once. Demyx won’t let you close to his sitar. 
Marluxia
Seriously why can’t you just say by him for two minutes please- you’re sneaking off every few minutes to attempt to steal something from someone- literally. Lance? Attempted to steal. Knife? Attempted to steal. 
Marluxia finally decided to just pick you up and just hold you. All the time. Always snuggles now. That was until you decided to use your magic from behind Marluxia. 
Now you are banned from magic for the week. Now literally all you can do is snuggle Marluxia. You kept your head resting against his neck, before you played with his hair, softly saying, “Soft pink,” 
Very basic but it melted his nonexistent heart. Adorable. You also fell asleep playing with his hair, your arms wrapped tightly around his neck. 
You kept attempting to cause trouble, but Xaldin did let you bake with him so you were a tiny bit less devilish when you were preoccupied. 
Once you got back to normal, you were constantly reminded of how you kept attempting to steal weapons, also, Marluxia likes you snuggling against his neck now. 
Larxene
You took her knives every ten minutes. Once she gave them to you. People were being too loud for your personal tiny taste. 
However after one too many almost stabbings Saix said no more knives. But you had magic anyway. So you tried to use that. That was then banned. 
Larxene kept you beside her, holding onto her hand while walking around with her, sometimes accompanied by Marluxia who would also hold you hand. Sassy hand swinging. 
While the two of you were in the grey area, you were sitting on her lap while you were being eyed by other members who were making sure you weren’t feeling homicidal, before you looked at her straight on and quietly said “Pretty” before laying your head against her chest
She lowkey died just at that little thing, while you fell asleep against her chest, clinging onto her middle in the middle of the grey area. 
Seriously you were terrorizing while being silent and adorable- so everyone tends to hold it over your head. Larxene, however, loves reminding you to continue calling her pretty and lets you sleep against her chest more often.

Memories of You Chapter 12 (snippet)
Word Count: 1,755
------------------------------------
"For a second there, I wasn't sure if you were going to show up,” Naminé said. “I thought you might ditch me for the Guardian Festival."
"Actually, it was the other way around," Roxas said as he took it upon himself to get comfortable and plopped onto Naminé's bed, tying his hands behind the back of his head as he shut his eyes. "I kinda ditched my friends at the festival to hang out with you."
"I still can’t quite understand why you would do that."
Roxas shrugged. "I've known those guys for years and I've been to plenty of festivals and parties with them. I think they'll live. You can always count on old friends, but I think I’d rather prioritize a newer one.” 
Naminé couldn’t fight back the small smile. “I... suppose so.”
“Besides, the festival will be going for the rest of the week. Maybe I'll go tomorrow."
"Yeah, but..." Naminé trailed, twiddling her thumbs. "...I don't want to be the reason for any rifts between you and your friends."
Roxas smiled at her. "You're not going to cause a rift between us. I'm sure they understand."
"I guess I just think the festival sounds a lot more fun than hanging out with me. Aren't I kind of boring in comparison?"
Roxas scoffed. "If I thought you were boring, I wouldn't be here."
Naminé massaged her left arm as she sat on her bed next to Roxas. "Well, I don't think there's much we'll be able to do at my place today. My dad is downstairs and I don't think he plans on leaving, which means whatever we do, we'll have to be quiet about it."
"...Are you hitting on me?"
Naminé's eyes widened and her cheeks flushed once she realized how suggestive her words sounded. "I meant we can't watch bad movies downstairs or something! Get your head out of the gutter."
Roxas laughed. "If you say so." He noticed Mocchi eating in her bowl across the room and sat up. "Mocchi! Come here, girl."
The cat peered her head from her breakfast and licked her snout. She stared at Roxas for a moment before returning to her food.
"Guess she still doesn't like me very much," Roxas said.
Naminé sent him the slightest of smirks. "How many times do I have to tell you she isn't a dog? Cats don't work like that. You have to let her warm up to you."
"How do I do that?"
"Nothing," Naminé replied curtly. "You don't choose the cat, the cat chooses you. She'll come to you once she's more familiar with you."
"Understood, sensei." Roxas tapped his chin. "Guess it's a good excuse to keep coming around more often then, huh?"
Naminé tucked some hair behind her ear. "Guess so."
Roxas cleared his throat and rolled over until he was sitting next to Naminé. "So, what's on the agenda for today?"
Her eyes widened. "You're leaving that up to me? Aren't you supposed to be the one that takes initiative?"
"I was gonna suggest another movie but it looks like that's off the table. Now, I'm kinda stumped."
"Well, I don't know what to do. I suck at coming up with plans, Roxas," she said in a whiny voice. "It's not like it's something I do often..."
Roxas crinkled his eyebrows in thought. "Is it... really such a bad thing if your father sees me?" he asked. "Don't you think it'd be better if you just introduced me? It's not like we're, um... you know."
"R-Right." Naminé kept her eyes trained on her twiddling thumbs. "I'm not sure if that's such a good idea. He gets really... overbearing. My father isn't exactly one to trust people. Even if the situation is harmless."
"Sounds kind of extreme."
"He has his reasons," she said cryptically. 
Roxas searched for a solution in his head. He inwardly admitted he should have come a bit more prepared considering it was the week of the festival when very few people went to work. They sat in a comfortable silence until Roxas snapped his fingers. "Oh, duh. We can just go to my place," he said nonchalantly as he stood up. He eyed her current attire of a camisole and pajama shorts. "You might wanna get dressed."
"Wha—w-wait a minute! Where'd that come from all of a sudden?"
Roxas raised an eyebrow. "You said it yourself: there's not much to do here. No harm in getting some sunshine every once in a while. You look like you could use some," he added with a wink.
She glared at him for his unnecessary comment. "You better not be planning on trying anything funny."
Roxas frowned. "You better not be serious about that."
She gave a trollish smile. "Just wanted to see your face."
Roxas cleared his throat. "Look, are you coming or not?"
Roxas wasn't wrong. Inappropriate jokes aside, what could they do cooped up in her room all day? Besides, if her father unexpectedly dropped in, that would spell all kinds of bad news. But she didn't feel like being by herself either.
"Okay," Naminé muttered. "Let's do it, I guess."
Roxas smiled. "Great."
"I-I hope you realize I'll have to get ready first," Naminé quickly clarified. "I have to take a shower and figure out what I'm going to wear and—"
"What? Aww, come on."
"Hey, even I have some dignity with how I'm presented to the outside world. I mean, just look at my hair and—” 
"Okay, I see your point,” Roxas said, cutting her off before he got a laundry list of Naminé’s insecurities. Though, it earned him a frown in the end. “Fair enough."
Naminé began twiddling her fingers. "Umm, you know you're not staying in my room while I shower, right? I'm going to be getting dressed here."
Roxas felt his face flush when images of Naminé—he stopped himself right there. "I mean, I get not wanting me to see you but we're kind of backed into a corner here."
"Just go wait in Kairi's room or down the hall."
Roxas rolled his eyes. "You and I both know that'd be a dumb idea. I'll just stand in the corner of the room and keep my eyes closed."
"Nope, sorry. Please leave."
"You don't trust me?"
"It's not that," Naminé assured. "It's just... w-weird."
Roxas tapped his foot impatiently. "Well, where am I supposed to go? Out the window?"
Two minutes later, Roxas found himself begrudgingly climbing out the window. He found the circumstance rather annoying considering he couldn't enjoy the AC unit filtering out the sticky, humid air inside of the Villiers residence and instead had to be submerged in his own sweat thanks to the Destiny Islands heat.
Naminé poked her head out of the window and gave him a guilty but gracious smile. "Thanks for understanding, Roxas."
He narrowed his eyes. "Just hurry up."
Roxas sat in the grass with his back against the wall as he waited for Naminé to get ready. He tried to be as patient as he possibly could, but the heat wasn't making it very easy for him. He could barely scroll through social media on his phone due to his sweaty fingers. After an agonizing forty-five minutes, Naminé poked her head out her window again.
"S-Sorry for the wait," Naminé said.
Roxas was quick to get up to his feet. "About time. Pretty sure I was seconds away from a heat stroke. Ready to go?"
"Yeah, um, I think so," Naminé said, trailing off with her eyes darting in all sorts of directions. 
"What is it?" Roxas asked with a hint of frustration. 
"I-I'm, uh... not sure what I should do," she said. "I don't think I can go out the front door. For... obvious reasons."
"Then I guess we only have one option," Roxas said, a smirk playing his lips.
Naminé gulped. "This is weird. I've never jumped out of a window before."
"It's not that bad of a jump. I've climbed up and out of there a bunch of times."
"Yeah, well, not everyone is a stalker like you." Roxas gaped at the jab. "Kidding. I just don't want to break my neck, that's all."
"You're not gonna break your neck," Roxas said exasperatingly. "I'll catch you, okay? Think of it like one of those trust exercises."
"Roxas... there's a big difference between falling into someone's arms who's less than a foot behind you and jumping out of a window!"
"Will you just come on?" Roxas asked as he held out his arms, his impatience becoming more apparent. "We'll be here for another twenty minutes when we could get it over with in twenty seconds. Sometimes, you just gotta take the leap of faith, Nam. Pun intended."
Naminé let out a whiny moan but figured he wasn't wrong. It would be better than having to come up with another lie for her father. "If I die, it's on your conscience."
Roxas scoffed. "Dramatic as usual."
"First things first," Naminé said before tossing out her sketchbook. Roxas caught it with a confused glance but shook his head. It seemed like Naminé didn't like leaving the house without it. He set it on the ground for the time being.
Naminé sat on her window sill with her legs dangling over the ledge. She bit her lip with anticipation of what was to come next. Roxas looked at her from below with his arms waiting for her. He did his best to be patient and gave her a smile full of encouragement. It helped, albeit a little.
"Here goes nothing..." she said to no one in particular. "See you on the other side, Mocchi."
Mocchi only watched confusedly as Naminé kipped herself off the ledge. Mocchi, unsure of what was happening and concerned for her favorite human's safety, made a dash on top of Naminé's bed and peeked outside only to find Naminé firmly within Roxas' arms. She was covering her own eyes with her hands despite wearing glasses. When she opened them, she found that Roxas was carrying her bridal-style.
"You okay?" he asked with a confident smirk.
Naminé returned a shy smile before she felt a sudden wave of heat in her face and she didn't think the cause was the sun. She quickly got out of his hold and picked up her sketchpad from the ground before it could get any dirtier. She turned around, flattened the wrinkles of her outfit, and pushed her glasses up to her face.
"F-Fine. Lead the way."

Mini Fanfic #421: Lovely Date Night (Super Smash Bros Ultimate)
9:05 p.m. at the Crimsonetteé Restaurant....
Tifa: (Looks Around the inside of the Restaurant in Awe) Wow...... I gotta say, you've really picked out a real fancy one for us tonight, huh Cloud?
Cloud: Yeah... I originally thought about taking you out to La Shy Café, but the place feels more like a causal meeting if anything.
Tifa: True. (Smiles Softly) But I still be fine with you taking me anywhere really.
Cloud: I know. I just wanted to treat you to something nice, you know?
Tifa: (Teasingly Smirks at Cloud) Has anyone ever told you how much of a Sweetheart you really are?~
Cloud: (Rolled his Eyes) A lot of people, actually....One of them being you.
Tifa: (Giggles Softly) Well, what can I say?~ It is the honest truth, you know?
Cloud: Yeah....But enough about that for now. How are you liking Smash Town so far?
Tifa: I'm loving it so far. I knew it would be interesting and all, but I had no idea this town be this exciting to be around. Plus, almost everyone in the mansion are so amazing to be around. Daisy and Samus especially.
Cloud: I can tell by the fact that you guys been going to the Gym every chance you get.
Tifa: Exactly. Hey, have I ever told you the time I accidentally punched the Knock-Out Meter Machine so hard that it went flying into a nearby wall?
Cloud: (Starts Snickering) Holy Shit. Really?
Tifa: Yep. (Giggles Lightly while playing with her hair a little) Kind of forgot my own strength there...
Cloud: How could you? You're practically the strongest woman I know. Not to mention gorgeous as well. (Winked at Tifa)
Tifa: (Blushes While Smiling Sheepishly) See? I told you you're became a Sweetheart.
Cloud: Hey. I wouldn't be who I am now if it weren't for you guys being there for me. (Smiles Softly) You mean a lot me, you know?
Tifa: (Heart Begins to Melt) Cloud.....
Waitress: (Arrived at Cloud and Tifa's Table) Good Evening! I'm Bethany and I will be your waitress for the night. (Pulls out the Menu) Here's the Drink Menu....(Place the Menu down on the table) and allow me to start you off with a glass of water. (Stares Directly at Cloud) Sparkling or Still?
Cloud: I'll try out.... Sparkling.
Tifa: I'll try Sparkling as-
Bethany: (Completely Ignored Tifa's Request) Excellent! Now, in the meantime, feel free to check out the appetizers. I for one prefer our latest Chili Cheese Fries. (Walks Away)
Tifa: Chili Cheese Fries.....It's been awhile since I made those back in Hollow Basin.
Cloud: Speaking of which, did you ever heard from anyone there as of late?
Tifa: From Barrett. He's actually looking after our bar pretty good so far. With some help from our new employee, of course.
Cloud: Isa right? Blue haired guy? Dating Lea?
Tifa: (Eyes Widened in Surprise) Those two are dating?!
Cloud: Yeah. They're even raising two teens now. Both are names Roxas and Xion. And from what I heard...(Chuckles Lightly) Lea's practically the "Mom" of the family.
Tifa: (Giggles Softly) Aww~ That's Precious.
Meanwhile in Twilight Town....
Lea: (Sudden Place a Hand on his Forehead)
Xion: (Place a Hand on Lea's Arm a bit Worryingly) You okay, Axel?
Lea: Kind of. Don't know why, But....I could've sworn I felt some sort of disturbance right now. I just don't know what it is....
Roxas: (Changing Channels on the T.V. with a Remote) You're thinking too much, man. Relax.
Xion: Roxas' right. It's okay. We're here.
Lea: (Sighs while Shrugging) If you kiddos say so.....
Back in Smash Town.......
Tifa: Seriously though, I think it's sweet of those two to become parent figures to those kids. Kind of remind me of almost everyone back at the mansion.
Cloud: Tell me about it. They are really taking this whole Parenting role that seriously. Not that I have problem with it, of course.
Tifa: Me neither. They really love those kiddos very much. And I'm starting to love them too.
Cloud: (Chuckles Lightly) Really?
Tifa: Yeah. I mean, sure, some of them can be a handful, but most of them, if not, all of them are so precious and fun to be around.
Cloud: I can see you being a pretty cool mom.
Tifa: Really?
Cloud: Yeah. You were able to look after Marlene whenever Barrett is away, so that's a pretty solid proof there.
Tifa: (Smiles Softly) Thanks, Cloud.
Cloud began to Smile back at Tifa when suddenly....
Bethany: (Arrived back at the Table) Hey there. Has we have the chance to look at the menu?
Tifa: Uh.... Actually, you think we could order a choice the dessert first? (Look Through her Menu) Cause I've heard quite a lot about your famous White Chocolate Soffle, and I honestly wouldn't mind trying one, two, or maybe three of them out. Or Maybe.....(Continues Speaking)
Bethany: (Turns to Cloud) I'm not sure if you know this by now, buuuuut we have quite a lot of specials this evening. A Nice Floating Island, with a dash of Crème Anglaise.....(Place a Folded Piece of Paper Down....All While Giving Cloud a Flirty Smile) And my number~
Tifa: ...........And about those Creamy Pies- (Looks up to see The Waitress Looking at Cloud) Uh.... Cloud, is everything's okay-
Cloud: Just a second. (Looks down at the paper and back up at the Waitress with a Raised Eyebrow) So? You're really seriously about doing this right now?
Bethany: Completely. I get off at Ten....(Flirty Grin Grew a bit Wider) So I can take you out instead~
Tifa: Wait. What is she-
Cloud: (Got up from table) Alright, Bethany or whoever your name is, a Few Things. One: I'm not interested in you and I never will be. Two: In case you're too dense enough to realize this, you could clearly see that my date is sitting right in front of us as speak. And Three and....Most Importantly: We are still waiting for our glasses of Sparkling Water. Now if you really value your job and your dignity....(Gives the Waitress an Annoyed, Intense Glare) You knock it off with your Pointless Flirting, Cut the Bullshit, and Get us our God Damn Water. Got it?
Bethany: ('Groans in Defeat'') Okay, fine.....You could've just said "no". God.... (Walks Away) You don't have to be Huge Emo Jackass about it.....
Tifa: (Slowly Turns to the walking Waitress with a Very Not So Pleased Look on her Face) Excuse you?
Bethany: (Stops and Finally Gives Tifa Her Attention) What do you want?
Tifa: (Got up from her Table) Ma'am. I'm gonna give you five seconds to turn back around and apologize to my boyfriend for what you just said....right now.
Bethany: ('Scoffs') Or what, Tits for Brains? You're gonna try picking a fight with-
*Smash*
Tifa slams a Table Down to the Ground at Ease, which made the Waitress' Eyes Widened in Shock and Fear.
Tifa: Apologize. Now.
Bethany: (Cowers Back in Fear) Alright! Alright! I-I-I'm s-so so sorry! Please don't hurt me!
Tifa: (Walks by the Waitress) Oh and uh....(Gives her a $50 Bill) For the Table. (Walks Away)
Cloud: (Gives the Waitress a Dollar Bill Before Walking away as well) And for your service.
Bethany: Uh....This is only a One Dollar Bill......
Cloud: (From a Distance) Don't care. We're not coming back.
Outside.......
Tifa: (Walking Right Next to Cloud on the Sidewalk) Cloud, I am so sorry for that. Really.
Cloud: (Chuckles Lightly) Don't be. That was the best thing I've seen all day. Plus.....(Rubbing the Back of his Head Back and Forth While Blushing a Little) I honestly thinks really cool of you to stand up for me like that, you know?
Tifa: (Gently Grab Cloud's Hand While Walking with a Sincere Smile on her Face) Hey. I told you I'll always be there for you no matter what. You mean so much me.
Cloud: (Squeezes Tifa's hand a Little While Smiling Back at her) You mean a lot to me too, Tifa. Thank you.
Tifa: (Gives Cloud a Kiss on the Cheek) You're very welcome, handsome~ (Winked at Cloud)
Cloud: (Blushes Even More) Sooooooo.....Uhh..... There's this Burger Place Ren mentioned a few miles from here, pretty cheap. You wanna go eat there instead?
Tifa: ('Sighs Relaxingly') Honestly, I've been wanting a Burger for a long while now..... (Smiles Brightly) I'm in.
Cloud: Cool. Also, uh..... maybe afterwards, we could go back to the Mansion, watch a movie.... maybe cuddling through it as well-
Tifa: ('Gasps') Cloud Strife, are you actually asking me out on a Cuddle Session?~
Cloud: ('Sighs in Defeat') Guess I am.....
Tifa: (Giggles Softly) Welllllllllll~ I, for one, would love that very much. Thanks, Sweetie~
Cloud: ....................Damn you're cute.
Tifa: (Smirks Teasingly and Flirtingly at Cloud) And you're Adorable~ A lot more than I thought you would be actually~
Cloud: You'll let me live it down, will you?
Tifa: Probably not, 'hon~ (Gives Cloud Another Kiss on the Cheek While Walking the Night Away Together)

Part of my world (yandere Selfaware Sora X female reader)
this was originally three parts but here you go
To Sora everything seemed to be going on repeat. Everything he did felt like it had already happened, he could predict everything that happened in front of him. His wonderful adventures had become bothersome chores. Until he discovered what lied beyond, a place in which he could manipulate how his adventures played out. Fighting half a dozen bosses at once, exploring lost lands and discovering the forgotten treasures of the unknown. He could feel a sense of accomplishment and finally enjoy his life again.
But on one fateful day while mining through all of the data that he had uncovered he noticed one peculiar file, *$gpk79¶∆π. 'Strange I didn't see this file yesterday... Well let's find out' he thought as a opened the small piece of data.
In front of him appeared a young girl, around his age. She had shiny (h/l) (h/c) hair, soft (s/k) skin and unblinking (e/c) eyes. She just stood in front of him unresponsively. 'Maybe I have to interact with her' he thought. "Hello, my names Sora, what's yours?" He said while giving her a bright smile. She blinked and tried to speak but an ear piercing, distorted screech came out, Sora couldn't help but block his ears and cringe. She stopped and became motionless again.
He rested his hand on her shoulder. "Why are you here?" He asked. She didn't respond before she began to violently twitch which spread to him. "What's going on! Are you alright!" he yelled as everything started going black and her body became nothing more then a bunch of distorted textures. 'Oh no... I've crashed the system!" He mentally screamed, he always hated when this had happened. His sight went to blue as he blacked out.
🎁🎁🎁
After what seemed like hours of him altering the *$gpk79¶∆π file's code and numerous crashes. His work paid off. He had finally patched up the file.
The girl seemed to be sitting on thin air almost as if she was sitting on a normal chair. "Why don't you give up? I'm not supposed to exist... So why do you want to explore my code?" She said in a robotic voice. "Curiosity I guess" he answered her. "You know I have no real purpose... So why alter me? Most would have given up ages ago" She asked again "Well I just did, after seeing that you were a person I wanted to find out about you" he responded. "Anyway I didn't catch your name the last time I was able to get your file to work" he continued. The girl looked down before she replied. "I don't have a name... My code is just a jumble of numbers, letters and symbols..." "Well how about I give you a name?" He asked, making her look up at him with a shocked expression. "You would really do that for me?" "Of course! What's a person without a name?" He said as he put both of his hands on her shoulder. "OK let me think..." He said as he thought up all the names he could think of.
"How about (Y/N)?" Sora asked her. "It's perfect!!" She shouted in glee before everything began to reset. "What's going on Sora?" (Y/n) asked as she noticed what was going on. Sora said nothing as placed her neglected file in one of the worlds data.
"Giving you a life beyond the data scape"
🎁🎁🎁
You woke up in soft, cozy bed. The warm early rays of sun bringing warmth to your face. You hopped out of bed and put on some clothes before running down a flight of stairs straight into the kitchen.
In the kitchen you saw your mother but even though she was your mother, she gave off the vibes of a total stranger. "Oh, good morning (y/n) how was your sleep" she said as she gave you a warm smile. "It was good I guess..." You said as you sat at the table. "So any plans today?" She asked you. "I think I'll catch up with my friends today since it's summer Holliday's" you said automatically, almost as if there was no other option. You were deep in thought, trying to figure out what the hell was going on, before the sound of a toaster was heard and your mother placed a plate with two pieces of toast on it, both slathered in lemon curd.
🎁🎁🎁
And you did just like you said you would but the truth was you had no friends at all. All you could think about was 'Day 1'. Day 1 of what? Summer Holliday's? In a new home? Since you met someone? With everything that you were feeling it might as well be your first day of existence. All of these thoughts overwhelmed your mind until three people walked to you. A boy with messy blonde hair and brown eyes. A girl with curly brown hair and brown eyes and chubby boy with black hair and brown eyes. "Hey you look lonely, wanna hangout with us?" the blonde haired boy said. "Oh... Um sure" you said before the girl grabbed your hand. "OK then let's go!" She said as she pointed in a random direction.
🎁🎁🎁
As you walked in the door you could still feel a smile plastered on your face as you recalled fun things you did with the trio, who's names were Pence, Hayner and Olette. You walked straight to your room and looked for a journal in your bookshelf. You found one and opened it up and flipped through the pages, nothing. So you began to write.
Day 1 Today feels like my first day of existence, even thou I've lived prior to today, I know it sounds weird... It's just everything feels so new to me.
Anyway I made my first group of friends. Their names are Pence, Hayner and Olette. We all spent the day talking about things and walking around town and in the afternoon they brought me ice cream. Sea salt ice cream, it was actually a lot nicer then I thought.
They said I could come and see them anytime and that they enjoyed me being around... So I take that as a sign of friendship. I hope we can grow closer.
After writing your entry you hid your journal under your bed, so no one cold see it. Unaware that your journal had now a digital copy for any browsing in the data scape to find.
And it didn't take long for Sora to find it and it took less for him to read it all. A smile decorated his face as he thought of how happy you must be.
And so, every day you wrote down in you journal. He could see...
Day 2 Today Pence, Hayner, Olette and I ran a few errands to get some munny for a trip on the train out of town. We're still deciding on where to go. Maybe the beach? I don't know, we'll decide tomorrow.
Sora couldn't help but laugh a little. It sounded exactly like something Roxas would have wrote.
Day 3 Today was alright, Pence and Olette were pestering me and Hayner to do our homework.
To be honest I didn't even know that I had homework but at least I found out. It's a task for English. Basically we have to write... poems. Uh I know, a really boring and useless waste of precious summer days.
So while Olette and Pence were soaking up the summer sun, Hayner and I were stuck in the library looking for reference and inspiration. It wasn't all that bad thou. We actually got to have a good one on one chat and thou Hayner may act like a total jerk sometimes but he's actually a really nice guy.
But if you're still wondering about the homework. I'll say the truth...
It's nowhere near complete.
He couldn't help but feel curious as to how thing had played out in person. He started to wonder about the events that you may not have written about.
Day 4 Red robins perch up so high They spread their wings in joyous celebration
Tortoises lay down on the grass They stay put in procrastination
That's all I've come up for my poem so far. It's in an A,B,C,B formation but I hope the teacher will let it slide.
But to what I usually write
Today wasn't to much. I couldn't see the crew because it's to danm hot! So I just spent my time being a good student and working on my homework... Still not much done. I wonder what the others did?
Sora at this point really wanted to see (y/n) again. He hadn't seen her since finding her file, and by what she was writing she sounded a lot happier. He knew that you wouldn't remember him, he knew that when ever he restated the system everyone's memories were reset, so how would you'd be able to remember him?
It was then when he began to have a crush on you, which he found strange. He was nothing more then data himself. So why was he getting these feeling towards a programmed NPC that he had little to no interactions. He wasn't programmed to have true feelings towards others. Only interactions that compare to that.
To his displeasure days 5 and 6 were pretty basic, you were busy cleaning the house and days 7, 8, 10 and 11 were pretty brief. Like you started giving up on writing. He couldn't wait any more, he wanted to see you so badly. So had made up his mind, he was going to twilight town.
You were on your way to the hangout, you couldn't wait to see the group again and you couldn't believe that today had been a fortnight since you met them. What was going to happen today?
You then noticed a brunette boy your age walking around, looking around, looking lost. So you did what you thought was right and walked up to him. "Hey are you alright? You look lost?" You said to him, the brunette turned to face you before replying. "I'm fine, it's just been awhile since I've been here" he said as he flashed you a warm smile. You looked at him more carefully. Had you met him before? He looked so familiar... But how? You don't remember him, yet there was just something that clicked the spiky brown hair or maybe his deep cerulean eyes. "Have I met you before? You seem familiar" you asked him. "Umm I don't think so..." he answered. "My names Sora" he said as he held out his hand. "Well mines (y/n). It's a pleasure to meet you Sora" you replied as you shook his hand.
After the day had ended Sora couldn't help but wonder what you had written in your journal today, what did you think about him? It had him waiting in anticipation as he searched for it.
Day 12 Today I met a boy named Sora. He was a sweet guy but I couldn't help but wonder if I had met him before. Something about him just felt familiar. I hope I get to meet him again.
Sora couldn't help but smile at the passage, you still remembered him. Maybe not how but you still did.
The next day however was a different story...
Sora had spent another day in twilight town sitting down ontop of one of the many buildings taking in the beautiful sunset that forever painted the world. Until he heard familiar voices that caught his attention.
"I just... I wanted you here because..." The voice of a boy stuttered. "I really like you OK! The truth is... I've had a crush on you since the start of the year... During classes, I just couldn't help but stare at you... Your so pretty and-" he continued. "Your so sweet Hayner" a familiar female voice said, (Y/n) voice. Sora looked down and his heart began to ache. There you were, being asked out by Hayner. A deadly concoction of envy, wrath and fear began to brew inside of him.
"Of course I'll be your girlfriend"
Those words stabbed through him like a lance, his heart felt like it was being ripped out of him.
He had longed for those word... But he had wanted those words to be directed at him...
🎁🎁🎁
Day 13 Hayner asked me out today and I accepted. I've actually been having feelings for him for along time... I'm so glad he felt the same.
I can't wait to see him Tomorrow
Sora felt absolutely broken. In denial of what happened. His heart felt like it was being torn to shreds, he could handle it anymore.
So he did what he thought was best...
🎁🎁🎁
Sora was so sick of it. He had reset the game at least seven times already, every world he had placed you in had failed. "What's wrong Sora? You've been staring into space for the past two minutes" Kairi said to him but not out of worry, the dialogue had previously been written.
Sora had completely forgot about what was happening right now, he was on Destiny island, sitting on the palm he had so many times before... But this was the moment he was dreading, this was when he would confess to Kairi... But he didn't have feeling for her. He had feelings for you.
This was the moment he wanted to spend with you.
"Kairi... I don't love you" he said as the game froze and the sweet melody of the moment had become an annoying three second loop.
'I'm so sorry Kairi... But I'm going to have to get rid of you'
🎁🎁🎁
You were on the beach. Running in hopes of beating your friends in their race. A boy with short platinum hair who's name was Riku and boy with spiky brown hair named Sora, you had been the closest of friends since you washed up on the island. You struggled to catch up as a thick cloud of darkness appeared behind of you. You tried to run as fast as you could but the world around you crumbled away and the darkness swallowed you.
🔗🔗🔗
"Hey (y/n), (y/n) wake up" a voice said as they shaked your shoulder. You opened your eyes to see a spikey red head man in a black cloak. "And I thought you were gonna be the one to wake me up" he chuckled. "What do you mean?" You asked. He gave you a confused look. "You forgot!!!" He yelled in shock. "We're going to catch up with Sora today, you've been waiting for this for a fortnight! Got it memorised" he said as he threw the bed sheets of your bed.
You groaned as you sat up. Your phone beeped and you opened it.
Sora: hey (Y/n) can't wait to see you again. Missed you alot 😞
Xoxo
You smiled before replying
Me: same here! I have a surprise 😉
You pressed send and looked to the door to see the new dress you had recently brought and looked in the mirror to see your new hair cut. You couldn't lie, you have had a crush on him for a couple of years now but you didn't have the courage to tell him your feelings.
🔗🔗🔗
You stood in wait with Lea in the middle of Radiant garden. "Hey (Y/n), I'm going to see if any of the stores here sell sea salt icecream, I'll be back soon" Lea said. "Sure, could you get me one... I've never tried them before but if you like them then they must be good, right?" You asked. "Sure thing!" He gave you a thumbs up before leaving.
🔗🔗🔗
A few minutes passed. 'what's taking Lea so long?' you thought. A passing girl dropped a book and you quickly picked it up for her. "Here you go" you said as you gave it to her, but when you looked in her eyes you became confused. She seemed so familiar. Her dark burgundy hair, her cerulean eyes. "Have I met you before?" You asked in union. "Who are you?" You both asked. "Whoa... It's like we have the same mind or something" you both replied again. "Well my name's (y/n)" you said. "Kairi" she replied Kairi, it was such a familiar name... But you didn't know how. You were going to say something but a familiar voice called to you. "Hey (Y/n)!!!" The voice cheered. You looked behind you to see Sora. "Sora!" you called as you leaped into his arms. "How have you been?" He chirped as he hugged you. "Good" you said slyly. "Oh I just realised you got a hair cut, and new clothes" he smiled as you stepped back. "You look really cute" he said as he kissed you on the cheek. You felt yourself heat up.
"What are you love birds up to" you heard Lea say. You saw Sora go red as you did too. "Nothing" you both said.
🔗🔗🔗
The day had gone by almost too quickly. Eventually you had to say goodbye and you didn't know when you would see Sora next, but the girl you had met had constantly been on you mind. She was so familiar yet still felt like a complete stranger.
🔗🔗🔗
You woke up the next morning and put on your clothes. You grabbed your hairbrush and walked to the mirror, but instead of your own reflection you saw Kairi. You let out scream in shock and Lea instantly ran in. "(Y/n) are you alright?!" He yelled. "My reflection..." You mumbled as you pointed to the mirror. He walked to the mirror and looked. "What are you talking about?" He asked. "You look the same to me" he continued. You looked in the mirror again and you reflection was normal. "But I swear that I saw someone else" you said. He seemed to be in deep thought for a few seconds. "It might just be Merlin's magic" he assured you as he left. "I'll let you get ready"
🔗🔗🔗
These events had eventually become part of you day to day life. You saw Kairi everyday. In you reflections and in your dreams. At this point you accepted it.
"Hey Kairi!" you heard Lea call out. "Huh, did you just call me Kairi?" You asked. "No I didn't" he replied. "Anyway now's not the time to be drifting in thoughts" he said as you realized that you were in the middle of training. But just as you swing at one of the heartless decoys you got a pounding headache, you  stumbled around until you finally drifted asleep.
🔗🔗🔗
You had that dream again but you weren't there, Kairi was. At that moment realisation hit you, you were never meant to be here.
You were never meant to be...
🔗🔗🔗
You woke up to see that you were in your room, Lea beside your bed. "I was never supposed to exist" you whispered, barely audible to anyone else. "Huh?" "Nothing, it was nothing" you replied.
🔗🔗🔗
This had been the very moment that Sora had been waiting for, finally he was going to confess his love to you. You both sat next to each other on the palm tree, a beautiful sunset that glowed in the sky.
He looked towards you. You looked so caught up within you thoughts. Then you held you head in pain. "(Y/n)! Are you alright" he asked. "Why did you do it?" You responded. "what are you talking about?" "Why did you mess with everything? Why did you keep switching me around with other people?" "You've been controlling my life, why did you do this?" You cried.
"I'll tell you why..." He cooed as he leaned closer to you. "Because I love you" he said as he tried to kiss you but you pushed his face away. "Your crazy, how can we feel emotions, were all just made of data" you yelled at him. He just gave you a warm yet unsettling smile. "I... Can't take this..." You said as your form began to twitch and glitch. "(Y/n)! What are you doing?!" he screamed "I can't understand..." You murmured. As the world around you became twisted and disfigured. "Can't live in this world, or any" you said as you began to fade. "I'm deleting myself" you told him. He began to cry and scream. "No! You can't leave me! I won't let that happen" he screamed. "Your selfish" you coldly said. "You like a spoilt child" you hissed as everything went black.
You were gone but Sora's crying became a hysterical laughter.
"Did you really think you can just delete yourself... Ha... Ha... Your file will always remain, if anything... You've just made my job all easier..."
🔗🔗🔗
You couldn't move, not an inch. You had locked yourself in this neverending abyss of nothing. This is what your life was like as a lonely speck of data. Forever trapped in a motionless body but you were oddly content with that. You felt safe and secure until that day had come.
"Oh (y/n) I've been looking for you for so long..." an eerily familiar voice coed as a pair of arms wrapped around you, the first feeling of contact would have made you flinch if you could. "But now I have you all to myself" he continued as he nuzzled his face into your neck. "Mine, mine, all mine" he repeated in a sing song tone.
You wanted to speak but you physically couldn't. You had no way to reject him. "Oh, your not talking to me" he sighed. "I'll just take that as a yes" he hummed. "Do you love me?" He said as he nuzzled your cheek. You so desperately tried to say no but you couldn't. "Of course you do!" He hummed as he grabbed your hand, to you it felt so stiff but obviously it was limp to him. "I'll never let you go my Princess..." He nuzzled your had. "Besides... You have nowhere to go..." He eerily sung as he shifted you to face him before planting a small kiss on your lips. "... You can not escape me as long as I have you locked here..." "This is my game... And I'm the one that decides what happens" he coed as he tilted his head, an loud crack echoed.
"And I am the only one that knows who you are... So don't expect anyone to try and save you, I mean even if another person then us became selfaware.... I could just delete them..."

Daybreak Academy: Chapter 56
New Student, Familiar Face
Summary: In which my dumb af ship from 2013 can once again set sail. Word Count: 1,674 First | Previous | Next ☆ ⚬ ☆ ⚬ ☆ ⚬ ☆ ⚬ ☆ ⚬ ☆ ⚬ ☆ ⚬ ☆ ⚬ ☆
There were going to be about 50 new First Year students this year- Ven did the headcount. Was it a bad turnout? It seemed like a low number to him, considering how large the school was. He couldn't even remember his student orientation to recall the amount of students there. But weren't all the students cherry picked from around Departure County? Maybe this count was right after all.
'She's not here.' Vanitas grumbled somewhere to the left of Ventus.
“She is.” Ven mumbled back, making a vague motion to the sound of Vanitas's voice. “She promised she would be.”
Yet, despite telling himself otherwise, Ven still couldn't see Sabrina in the crowd. Right now, the new First Years were taking their house tests en masse in the auditorium. When they were done, they were to give their tests to the headmasters -all five sitting on the stage itself at a very long table- and wait for the others to finish. Once everyone had their tests reviewed, each headmaster took turns in announcing who was a part of their house. It was a very nerve racking time; it almost rivaled the stress during finals.
Ventus had thought that choosing to hide out in the balcony seat would have helped him see Sabrina better. He had been quickly proven wrong in that regard. Sure, he could see everyone, but he couldn't see them clearly. From the back you couldn't tell who was male or female- you only got a very good look at the back of their multicolored haired heads. Sabrina's hair was a raven black. He's never forget that. Too bad she wasn't the only new student with black hair, though…
“There she is!” Ventus declared, almost a bit too loud, when he saw Sabrina head up on stage to hand her test in. It took all it had in Ven to not shout her name and wave over to her in hopes of getting her attention. But it was a massive relief in knowing that she was attending Daybreak Academy; he didn't have to call for her because she'd be on campus from now on. Maybe if the orientation finished quick enough, they could have lunch together.
Ven let out a sigh of relief as he relaxed now. Knowing that Sabrina was here led him to wait for the orientations to finish. He was so relieved that, when Invi stepped forward to announce the students coming into her house, Ventus almost didn't hear Sabrina's name among them. It took a solid minute for the realization to sink in, and when it did, Ven's heart nearly stopped.
He and Sabrina were not going to be in the same house. Okay, yeah, sure, it had been a one out of five shot. They wouldn't be sharing many classes, but they could still see each other after. It could still work. You know, just like it did with Ephemer and his other friends. Nothing to freak out about. It was just… disappointing. Yeah… Really disappointing…
The orientations finished up about 30 minutes after the house results were announced. Ven had snuck out just before the stream of new students came out of the auditorium. He waited at the front entrance for Sabrina to come out- idly passing time by watching the clouds roll by.
He only had half a second to register the happy exclamation of “Ven!” before being tackled from behind. A loud, undignified shriek escaped the boy's lips as both he and his tackler crashed into the ground. Ventus blinked for a moment, waiting for his senses to come back, before realizing who had now pinned him to the ground.
“Sabrina!” he rasped. “You… you're…!”
A wide smile stretched onto Sabrina's face. “Lemme guess,” she said, “I'm a huge surprise! Or the best thing you've ever seen! Or, or…!”
“You're crushing my ribs.”
“Oh.” was the small answer. “Sorry about that...” and she quickly got off of him soon after. She even helped him get back onto his feet.
“So now what?” the girl asked him. “Classes start tomorrow, right? So what do we do now?”
Ventus blinked. There was no stopping with this girl, huh?
“We could go get lunch.” he offered. A nervous laugh escaped the corner of his lips. “The cafeteria isn't that far from here.”
“Sounds great!” Sabrina agreed with a cheerful nod. Ven smiled and before he was able to tell her anything else, Sabrina quickly grabbed him by the hand and led them both to the cafeteria.
. . .
“I can't believe we won't be in the same house.” Sabrina pouted. “What a bummer.”
“Yeah...” Ventus agreed with a little nod. “It'll be a bit harder to get together, but not impossible, I don't think.”
“Will the schoolwork be the same?”
“Should be. I'd have to ask Brain or Lauriam about that.” After a short pause, Ven then let out a small sound of remembrance. “Oh!” he exclaimed, “That reminds me...”
Ventus reached down into his backpack and pulled out a three-ring binder filled with paper.
“I, uh, I wanted to give you some of the notes I made last year.” he nervously said to her. “We won't have the same teacher for a lot of classes because we're in different houses, but it should still help. I think.”
“Sweet!” Sabrina declared, taking the binder without a second thought. “Thanks Ven!”
The boy bashfully smiled while scratching the back of his neck as Sabrina poured through his notes. They weren't the best, but they would still work for studying. Ven watched her- he was quick to notice the faces she made as she tried to make sense of curriculum she had yet to learn. Her eyebrows were knit together and her nose was scrunched up, almost like a little rabbit.
“What was it like being adopted by rabbits?” Ven asked her- not at all realizing what he said before it came out of his mouth.
“Hmm?” the girl hummed. It took her a moment to realize what he was asking; when she did, she looked up at him with her nose even more scrunched up in disgust. “Ortensia's a cat. Oswald's the rabbit.”
“O-oh...” Ven stumbled, “I didn't mean...”
“'S okay.” Sabrina told him with a little wave of her hand. “I know what you're sayin.' It wasn't bad, honestly. Can't complain. They had a lot of money that they didn't know what to do with. Such as it is when you've got a multimillion billionaire to call a brother, and he's one of the slightly more generous ones. Or maybe he has a really guilty conscience? Old Ozzie was cut off from the money for years, so I've been told.”
Then Sabrina's face softened a little. She looked Ventus over with a curious eye before asking, “What about you? What's your family like?”
If it was possible, Ventus's face went from a bright red to a ghost-like white. “M-my family isn't special.” he sheepishly claimed, averting his eyes from her.  “My parents are nice. I've got some siblings, but it's not...”
“How many?”
“Huh?”
“How many siblings do you have?”
“I have… four.” Ven confessed. “Last year, just before I started going to school here, my mom had a pair of triplets. Sora, Roxas, and Xion. Roxas, he… he looks a lot like me. It's really weird. I haven't gone to see them in awhile though- I plan on doing it soon. I've kinda been waiting for Mom or Dad to give the okay. Gets kinda hectic raising three babies at once, or something.”
“And what about the other one?”
He didn't mean to, but Ventus flinched. “What do you mean?” he asked her. But Sabrina wasn't having it; giving him an impatient click of her tongue.
“You said you have four siblings,” she pointed out, “So what about the other one?”
“It's a long story.”
“I have time.”
But Ventus shook his head. “I can't tell you.” he told her in a quiet voice. “You'll never want to be my friend again if I did.”
Sabrina raised a bemused eyebrow at this. She's probably only known Ventus for a full day now and she had massive doubts that she would suddenly decide not to like him. Family was family- how bad could it really be? And, by golly, was she a stubborn one.
“Can I have a name, at least?” she asked him- she even put on her best puppy pout. Ventus made the mistake of looking at her for half a second and immediately gave in.
“Vanitas.”
Without wasting a second, Sabrina followed up with another question. “What house is Vanitas in?”
Ven shrugged as he looked back down at the ground. “He's, uh, he's in An… guis...” He paused, only know realizing what he had said. He looked up at Sabrina with wide, fearful eyes. “Oh no.”
“Oh yes.” the girl snickered. “So he's here, at Daybreak, and we're in the same house! That's so awesome! I can't wait to-”
“But you can't!” Ventus quickly told her; he almost leaped at her to take her by the shoulders, but just barely stopped himself in time. “Vanitas is… Vanitas is…!”
His new friend was giving him a weird look. “Vanitas is…?” she repeated. She even rolled her hand at him- a not very subtle hint that he just needed to spit it out and get it over with. Ventus once more averted his eyes.
“You'll hate me.” he mumbled. Ven's fist started to clench as he thought about Vanitas. He couldn't tell Sabrina about his brother. She wouldn't understand. She just wouldn't…
Ven jumped when he felt Sabrina calmly place her hands into his. He looked up at her to be met with an unreadable expression. His heart leaped into his throat in realizing how much older she looked when she wanted to be dead serious; it was like the ten year old had switched bodies with a thirty year old instead.
“Ven,” Sabrina then said, her voice quiet and still, “Is Vanitas even real?”

(1) I suspect the reason you cling so tightly to the Roxas=Ventus theory is that it's your subconscious attempt to repair the damage caused by Xion being the original Subject X type that weakened a pre-existing story to make room for a new character. KH2 Roxas was the missing part of Sora preventing him from waking up but in Days this role was given to Xion instead. She goes on a journey of self discovery while Roxas sits on the sidelines for the vast majority of what's supposed to be his story.
(2) The result is Roxas being much hollower than the lead in one game and an important supporting character in others should be. But if Roxas and Ventus are the same character suddenly he has substance again! The change of his personality into something unlike his KH2 characterization now is purposeful instead of being lazy writing. It doesn't matter that he lost his original role of being Sora's other half, because he's now amnesiac Ven (the poor kid suffers from this problem a lot.)
(3) But really, this whole plot tumor could have been avoided if Nomura had simply stuck to his guns and not brought Roxas and company back at all, regardless of how much fans screamed that IT ISN'T FAIR and HE DESERVES TO BE HIS OWN PERSON. KH2 was bittersweet but conclusive about his fate and changing the story for fanservice demands has done the narrative no favors.
I can understand the comparison of Xion to Subject X. Both are female characters who were retconned into an existing male friendship. Skuld with Isa and Lea and Xion with Axel and Roxas. I think I understand what you’re getting at. Xion was the Subject X of 358/2 Days. She ruined Roxas’s character by overshadowing him in a Mary Sue-like way. So, I subconsciously want to view Ventus as the “real” Roxas because that allows me to wash my hands of Roxas’s story in 358/2 Days, which was more about Xion.
Believe it or not, Xion was actually very hated by much of the fandom when Days first came out. Sure, she had her fans, but opinions were a lot more divided. You wouldn’t believe how many people said that she was a Mary Sue and they hated how Roxas was so obsessed with her. And I can’t say there is no basis to that. When I first played Days, I felt kinda the same way. The whole concept of Xion was bizarre and convoluted.
When Roxas finally left the organization, it felt less like he was trying to discover himself, and more like he was mad that Axel was mean to Xion. Roxas was always “Xion, Xion, Xion”. Literally. In the novel, when he’s fighting Riku, he was trying not to forget her, so he kept repeating her name over and over. I understand why diehard Roxas fans wouldn’t like Roxas’s dynamic with Xion. He put her on a pedestal and he felt like more of a spectator in his own game. Personally, I saw Roxas’s relationship with Xion as more of a reflection of Sora’s relationship with Kairi. Roxas had Sora’s memories, so he acted like Sora would with Kairi. It doesn’t necessarily mean that Ventus would have acted like that with Kairi. That’s just my two cents, though.
Had I been more emotionally invested in Roxas, Xion probably would have bothered me more. This is just my own personal bias, but I was more upset with Skuld as Subject X than with Xion, even though I recognize the similarities. And I’ll be the first to admit, it’s because I didn’t like Akuroku. The ship, not the platonic friendship. Yeah, there’s the obvious thing like the age difference. But even if Roxas had been older, like a boyish-looking 23 year old or something, I still wouldn’t have liked it. That’s because I always had a soft spot for Axel, and I didn’t like his role in that ship. It seemed to me like Akuroku was a ship predominantly for Roxas fans.
In Akuroku, Roxas is the object of Axel’s affections. He’s the one Axel was desperately longing to see again. Roxas was the “prize”. Roxas was the one who was put on a pedestal. But it only ever went one way. Roxas never expressed those types of strong feelings for Axel. Axel was just the spectator of Roxas’s “specialness”. In a way, it’s similar to how Roxas fans must have felt about Roxas/Xion.
I admit I identified more with Axel. His death in KH2 hit me a lot harder than Roxas’s ending due to the fact that he was all alone, chasing after a kid who didn’t really feel as strongly about him as a “best friend”. It’s why I liked Lea and Isa in BBS. And it’s why I didn’t mind that Roxas was more focused on Xion, while Axel’s arc seemed to revolve more around his relationship with Saïx/Isa.
Judged on her own merits, I think Xion is only valuable as a character if her memories and experiences transferred over to Kairi. It was Kairi who was the flattest character. She badly needed her own journey of self-discovery to flesh her out. And if Xion retroactively allowed Kairi to gain character development, and form a deep friendship with Lea ahead of KH3, I think her existence was worth it for that.
But if Roxas and Ventus are the same character suddenly he has substance again!
Admittedly, I was never really that emotionally invested in Roxas. I liked him, but he was never one of my absolute favorites or anything. I felt sorry for him, but I never found him to be that interesting. And I have to say, being Sora’s Nobody was a big reason for that. It was hard for me to be invested in a character who was just a "Nobody” of another character. I felt the same about Naminé.
I never really liked KH2′s concept of Nobodies. It never made sense to me that turning into a Heartless would create a new person out of thin air. I don’t think that Nobodies should be able to coexist with their original selves unless there is a very, very unique reason. For instance, apprentice Xehanort had two hearts (Terra and Xehanort) when his Nobody was born. Sora had three hearts (Sora, Ventus, and Kairi) when his Nobody was born. They were special. Anomalies. Other than that, Nobodies make more sense when they’re like Axel. The Nobody is the same as the original person, just reborn without a heart.
I think Roxas previously being a human boy with his own name (not an anagram of Sora), his own past (not just a blank slate with jumbled up memories of Sora), and his own friends (the wayfinder trio), instead of just “Sora’s Nobody” is a lot more healthy for his character. It helped me to see him as his own person, and not just a fragment of Sora.
But “substance” might give the wrong connotation. At least in Days, Roxas was meant to be a pretty simple character. Even Axel said that. He wasn’t super smart or perceptive, and he wasn’t amazingly deep or complex. He wasn’t as ditzy as Sora, but he was still cut from the same cloth. He was a fairly ordinary kid. In KH2, he seemed a little more complex. But we didn’t get to see much of his character outside of the data Twilight Town.
This is my opinion on vanilla KH2 Roxas: Roxas was originally created to be Sora’s shadow. He was more introverted than Sora, more cynical, etc. That’s because, at least in the original KH2, Nobodies weren’t supposed to have hearts. Roxas’s darker personality was the result of him being conceived as a Nobody. He was Sora’s Nobody, so he was nicer than all the others. But he was a “heartless” character. He was “empty,” so to speak. Once Nomura retconned it so that Nobodies could have hearts, he decided to take Roxas in a different direction. He was no longer a “heartless” doppleganger of Sora. The reason he didn’t feel like Sora’s alter ego is because he actually wasn’t Sora at all. Plot twist! He was actually a boy who was secretly sleeping inside of Sora’s heart the whole time, named Ventus.
It doesn't matter that he lost his original role of being Sora's other half, because he's now amnesiac Ven (the poor kid suffers from this problem a lot.)
I think Ventus was conceived as an amnesiac specifically to explain why Roxas had no human memories other than the jumbled up ones belonging to Sora. Also, my own theory is that, like Ventus, Isa was an amnesiac after being experimented on. Lea took care of him, so Axel felt a special connection to Roxas because of that.
But really, this whole plot tumor could have been avoided if Nomura had simply stuck to his guns and not brought Roxas and company back at all, regardless of how much fans screamed that IT ISN'T FAIR and HE DESERVES TO BE HIS OWN PERSON. KH2 was bittersweet but conclusive about his fate and changing the story for fanservice demands has done the narrative no favors.
In all honesty, I liked the fact that Roxas was retconned to be Ventus instead of Sora’s other half. I liked Roxas’s prologue in KH2, but I couldn’t help but feel like it was kinda pointless? If Roxas was just Sora’s shadow, who was meant to merge back with him and disappear, his whole story felt meaningless. Like that one essay said, Roxas’s story didn’t even have much impact on Sora’s story other than the organization members constantly calling him “Roxas”. It was like Nomura wanted to create a new character, but was too afraid, so only took a half measure. Roxas was only half Sora. But since he had a different personality, different hair, difference voice, different clothes, it was only natural that fans didn’t see him as another Sora.
Personally, I never thought Roxas being Sora’s other half was all that convincing. So, I welcomed the explanation of Roxas being Ventus in a previous life. Then he could be brought back as a separate character with his own identity. Made more sense than him coming back as “Sora’s Nobody”.
The change of his personality into something unlike his KH2 characterization now is purposeful instead of being lazy writing.
Well, here’s the biggest reason I think Roxas was intended, originally, to be Ventus. Why would Nomura make Ventus SO much like Roxas? Scratch that. Why even make Ventus at all!? It’s not like he had to be created. Why not make Ventus look completely original, and have no connection to Roxas? There was no reason that he had to be sleeping inside of Sora’s heart.
If Roxas was always going to come back all on his own, there was no need to have Ventus at all. Or at the very least, Ventus could have had a completely original character design. He could still have been Terra and Aqua’s little bro, and still have his heart be asleep, in need of being woken up. But why make him look like Roxas of all things? In my opinion, it’s because Days was not supposed to be a standalone story. From its conception, its story was connected to BBS.
Axel was hinted to have a dark and tragic past in Days. In BBS, we just so happen to see Lea and Isa sneaking into the castle where dangerous human experiments were taking place. Xemnas had Terra’s body and memories. He was talking to Aqua and looking for the Chamber of Waking, where Ventus was sleeping. It’s not too much of a stretch that Nomura wanted Roxas to be strongly connected to BBS as well, by having Ventus’s heart. Fans downplay Roxas’s connection to Ventus as much as possible. “They only LOOK similar.” But I don’t think that was Nomura’s intention. 
I just don’t see any other reason why Nomura would make Ventus look almost exactly like Roxas, give them almost the same outfit, give them the same voice actor, change Roxas’s personality to be more like Ventus in Days, make them both serve practically the same role in KH3 (someone sleeping inside Sora’s heart) and even have Ventus meet Lea in BBS and have a similar dynamic with Axel as he did with Terra...if I was supposed to see them as two wholly separate people who just happen to look alike. If Nomura’s intention truly was for me to see them as two unique characters, all I can say is that he did an outstandingly HORRIBLE job and is utterly incompetent.

I propose this simple Question
First:  why I ask this. Since the infancy of the KH fandom all the way back from KH1, I noticed this simple trend one that picked up tremulously after kh2. No this has nothing to do with shipping. Also to note; I have genuine curiosity if anyone else notices this and this is from my perspective and experience with dealing with the Kingdom hearts fandom. Others may have very different accounts but others (that I have asked) have indeed noticed this as well in my own view. I am not aiming to stir up hate or discourse. I aim for peaceful fandoms. However, this subject is something I see no one ever addresses and well... maybe breaking a status quo or ‘unspoken rule’. I hope this can be a reasonable discussion where I can learn another perspective or some people may notice it and just go... “Oh yeah. That is a thing.” To which the question at hand. “Why does R*ku always have to be cool?”
(Disclaimer I do not hate this character. This question is not hateful. It is not anti or whatever. I mean exactly what I say. I will not be tagging this in the R*ku tab to prevent any misunderstandings. I ask others do the same. Anyone who reblogs this with hate is in no way associated with me.)
I will state the positive traits about R*ku. He has had the greatest character arc out of all the Kingdom Hearts Characters. A great redemption arc from his lowest to blooming into practically a whole new person in his own struggle against his KH1 self. He’s loyal to his friends. Smart. Gets along with Mickey and Yen Sid. Mellow. Saved Kairi and Sora. Knows what he has done. He’s honest and shares his concerns with others. Since KH2 he has always been trying to help Sora in the best of his ability. In acknowledgment of his misdeeds in CoM and Days is very good and we see a character who has genuinely f’d-up and his trying his best to move past that by helping his friends despite the limited resources offered to him. ^These are very good traits for a character to have. Any character. Besides his one time self in KH1, what else is there to him? What can be addressed as a flaw or criticism of him? (I approach characters as even though a character goes through a development arc, does not mean they are void of flaws. No one works like that. Not characters or actual people.) I say this. I love Sora and Vanitas in the Kingdom Hearts fandom. However, I am not afraid to draw them doing stupid or silly things and point out they have various of unfavorable flaws. Sora is utterly dense and I hate the fact how he was portrayed in DDD but I accept it and I will drag him along pointing out that fact. It is part of his character. He’s a dork (and not always in a good way). He impulsive and is kinda a mess of a human being. He's stubborn in the worse ways and volatile. Vanitas appears to be on the surface a straight up evil villain. As far as the games go, he is just utterly vile in his contempt for the characters and his actions have brought suffering and misery to various of characters. (though there may be other traits that could set for his own arc) (I still love them both) But note how none of these flaws listed above are ‘endearing’ or even remotely positive. They are problems, that hinder the characters and those around them. These are persistent traits even though both Sora and Vanitas have mellowed. Sora far more than Vanitas. I just do not see this done with R*ku. I rarely (they do exist but in comparison to the likes of Sora, Org XIII, even foretellers, or Roxas [who could be compared to be as “badass” as R*ku], its rarely ever there) I don’t see anyone talking about Riku doing dumb stuff. Being silly or being the butt of a joke or just not, not being good. Example of the latter:  When there was talk about Sora cooking in KH3, rarely did I see that, ‘oh, Sora learns how to cook and becomes very good at it’ and most I see ‘R*ku is already a fabulous cook’.... what about Kairi? What about even Lea? Aqua? There is no mention of these other characters being good at cooking. R*ku is usually A.) always the cooler looking one, or must be made to look cooler and B.) always be the better or best at something. I know that is kinda the thing in KH, that R*ku is talented and gifted as a person. As for the coolness factor, Nomura does this as well. Sora gets a keyblade, R*ku gets an edgier cooler keyblade with more details. Riku gets the powers of both light and darkness. R*ku gets the Keyblade Master title. R*ku gets actual growth in his body. He gets the more competent companion (Mickey). I am not saying these things are detractions or upsetting, they are just there and be defacto, cooler than other characters. He becoming edgier and emo was a good play on Normura because back in early 2005′s people thought that was cool and hot. Silver hair is automatically an attractive trait and western audiences love a person with a muscled body like R*ku’s. I don’t blame fans for being appealed to his character. But I suppose I am getting off-topic. Why do fans keep feeling compelled to make R*ku perfect? When people make fanart of him like say a monster form or pirate outfit, they always make it more detailed, edgier or just cooler than anyone else who would be drawn that way. He always looks more impressive than an original canonical design when other characters are drawn or written in ways that are not as impressive or equally the same to a canonical design/form/power. Has the cool wolf animal companion or the cooler weapon, the more detailed designs etc etc Even Axel who is a badass assassin can be silly or dumb-looking. Heck, they even did that in games. They made Axel failed and acknowledge it.  I see Aqua who is awesome in design and badass moments, be criticized for her flaws that persist and others who wish to see her have more moments of weakness even with what we have seen in 0.2 Xion who has had a great arc in Days (Character arcs don’t always have to be a positive development) doesn’t get the coolness factor. Roxas who is probably the second most popular character still is known as a goofy boy who thought he could fight heartless off with a stick. That’s hilarious. The most notable thing about R*ku recently that wasn’t cool or badass or edgy was his infamous “WHAT?” response to Mickey in Kh3. And that was one thing. Only really that. But how Mickey worded it, anyone would have done the same. And I noticed that people use what Mickey said “Aqua is like Sora’ is a way to poke fun at Sora by implying that Aqua is like a dense 15 year old. (Again these are just observations I have made over a decade worth watching the Kh fandom). In talks with other people who are Sora stans or other stans, there is nothing but a lot of talk about R*ku being really good about things. Being superior to Sora, or Kairi, or Aqua and Terra. Over Roxas.  Giving Axel two keyblades is never done, but people have given two to R*ku.  I get it, people who love characters like to do so much with them. I do the same. I just... never seem to regard the characters I love as perfect as others see R*ku. Also... I just don't see anyone criticizing him (I mean criticism in actual acknowledgment of his character and not hating on said character). Or taking about traits or flaws that are not endearing “He cares too much about his friends” is not really that bad of a flaw in consideration. A lot of people would prefer to have that over say... anger issues. What about the fact he falls back into following the orders of others or doesn’t often decide things for himself?...  What about Minor flaws? I just never see them in regards to these characters. Alright, so these are my observations I have made over... 14+ years of watching this fandom. And I want to ask, why do fans see him as such? Besides the only reason being for them is “I like him.” Has it just become such a normal thing to make R*ku better? Is he really that good of a character than he is so universally loved? Or is the backlash of actually criticizing R*ku and seeing that maybe, making him too perfect is... not doing favors for him? An arc is just that, an arc. Doesn’t mean a character is perfect or done with. Doesn’t mean those flaws that persisted in him, are gone.   Make your favorite character silly, or doing something very dumb (that does not even have to do with shipping), or put forth of what you would like to see improve in this character or express more about their flaws and their struggles. I love pointing out the negative traits in all my characters because I like seeing their struggle and how that makes them interact with new nuances in other characters. Maybe it's a running joke that R*ku is ‘Mr Perfect’ in the Kh fandom and I am just not seeing it. But it's daunting and just kinda rubs me the wrong way that all these characters in Kingdom Hearts have so many nuances to them and the one who has the best character arc so far in KH is regarded as... ‘Perfect’ I would like to know your opinion and if anyone else who is not a R*ku stan notice this, or is it just me and my own personal bias? (anything said above is in no way should ever be used to promote hate against R*ku or even bash him. In no way, I want to make others hate R*ku. I do not blame people who love this character to portray him in a superior way over everyone else. My address is that I just see this all the time. And I was wondering... why is it so widespread? Not even Axel who has a great redemption arc gets this.) (also another things is the whole sexgod R*ku that is also about however that may go into shipping and that I will not poke a stick at)

Hey love, you don’t have to do this one. But I struggle with having extra body hair due to hormones. How would the org members comfort an s/o who is feeling insecure due to the extra hair?
Buy me a coffee here!
Hirsutism is a condition i women that results in an excess growth of dark or coarse hair in a male-like pattern on the face, chest, and back.
________
Xemnas - you keep yourself pretty trim and bare but there are some days where it just gets to be completely exhausting going through the motions day after day. Shaving your legs is hard enough, but everything else you have to deal with??? It’s a pain in the ass. Xemnas doesn’t mind if you take a few days off from the shaving and waxing routine you do - if it makes you feel better, then take a break!
Xigbar - DISTRACTION. Every time you start to feel bad about yourself, he’ll distract you by saying something silly, doing something that annoys you so that you’ll yell at him or throw something at him. It doesn’t matter if you get mad at him - as long as you aren’t being hard on yourself then he’s happy.
Xaldin - ya boy is no stranger to excess body hair, okay. Just look at him. He’s a hairy gorilla man and that’s okay and he tells you so! He doesn’t mind, but he does care that it bothers you. Will do his best to reassure you that there’s nothing wrong with having a little more body hair than normal.
Vexen - If it bothers you so much then he’ll do his best to find the source of it, but you tell him there’s nothing to be done about it since it’s just genetic and it can’t be changed. He doesn’t see why you’re bothered! He’s a little harsh about it harshly and you tell him so even though you know he doesn’t mean it.Then he explains that he means that he doesn’t see why there’s anything wrong with you, so you shouldn’t feel anything awful about yourself.
Lexaeus - You. Are. Beautiful. He loves you just the way you are, extra body hair and all. Honestly doesn’t care at all - he’s just unhappy because it makes you unhappy, and will do what he can to continuously tell you how beautiful and gorgeous you are to him.
Zexion - Zexion is the one who does research about the whole thing because he’s curious and he’s never heard of it before, but he wants to know what you’re going through and if there’s some kind of treatment or cure. He’ll help you in any way he can, even if that means holding your hand for a while as you cry or leaving you alone when you feel like being by yourself
Saix - he can’t deny that he likes your skin smooth, but understands that sometimes it’s a pain in the ass for you to continuously wax and shave away all of the excess hair. He won’t complain if you skip a day or two to preserve your own sanity and will gently give you comfort if you ask for it.
Axel - Axel cant really grow a lot of body hair unless it’s on his head and you’ve always been fascinated with the thick head of hair he has, but what you don’t realize is that he’s also fascinated with you! He gets why you’re upset, but he actually thinks it’s kind of cool and that you look badass, but he won’t be offended if you try to shave or wax away the extra hair.
Demyx - actually kind of… believe it or not he’s actually a bit jealous of you. Demyx has a grand total of three (3) chest hairs and you thought he would be grossed out by the hair on your own body, but he went on a rant about how the world was cruel and how it wasn’t fair that you had more chest hair than him. It made you forget being insecure and was pretty entertaining to watch him complain!
Luxord - Luxord doesn’t look like it from the neck up, but he’s actually kind of a hairy beast like Xaldin under that organization cloak. He’s not too fond of his own body hair, so he would be a bit of a hypocrite if he made you feel bad about yours.
Marluxia - Marluxia is a master waxer, so if you want to primp and get rid of the extra body hair, he will happily help you do that. He waxes his facial hair and his legs in the summertime, so he’s kind of an expert. Of course, it’s up to you and he’ll support whatever you want.
Larxene - Extra body hair? That’s fine. You’ll make a spa day of it, shaving your legs together, waxing what needs to be waxed, maybe do a little extra pampering at a salon. Larxene doesn’t care, because it just means that she has more opportunities to spend time with you.
Roxas - like Demyx, he’s kind of pissed that you can grow hair better than he can, but he’s cool about it overall! He’s really understanding about how much it bothers you and is willing to let you cry or complain as much as you want.
Xion - thinks it’s??? so cool??? she’s one of those girls who always wondered what it would be like to have facial hair and the awe on her face is enough to make you feel a little less insecure.

So I started writing this at about 10:30 last night after reading @khkeystagram ‘s last posts. Fell asleep, woke up at 3:30 or so and finished it. The ending was supposed to be slightly humorous but I think it came out rushed BUT it was like 5 when I finished s o. Plenty of strong language, they’re all emotional.
Summary: Lea is terrified, but slightly impressed.
Words: 1992
The whole of the ResCom was out of their fucking minds, and that was all that Lea had to say on that.
They were batshit insane if they honestly thought that Roxas was going anywhere near those freaks.
“The king said—“
“The king can say what he likes!” Lea snapped, fingertips digging into Roxas’ shoulders. Isa could have died, and no one seemed to fucking get that! Auron was hovering awful close to dead, and they h o n e s t l y thought that Roxas was going to go in alone, with no one but a stinking duck at his side.
He had already lost Roxas once, and it almost fucking broke him. He was not risking it. Not again, and definitely not like this.
“Lea, it’s fi—“ Roxas didn’t seem too fond of saving his own life, apparently. He wasn’t protesting at all, in fact was almost buzzing with excitement. Lea knew he had seen considerably less action than he had in his days in the Organization and was probably a little antsy, but going from zero to roughly five million was too big a risk.
“No, it the fuck isn’t!” Lea snapped. “The king’s been fucking batshit for ages! You’re a kid, going into a fight that almost killed three people!”
“He asked for me!”
“I don’t care!”
Donald, looking more than a little anxious, watched them argue. He had arrived not too long ago. Goofy was with him, though he didn’t seem to be ready to fight.
“YOU’RE!! A!! KID!!” And kids were never supposed to get involved. It was bad enough that Ven was the target, and bad enough that him staying with them meant that Xion and Roxas were in danger. Now, Roxas was to be the sole target. And what, because some cracked up king thought Roxas was OP?
“I can fight!! I could kick your ass!!”
“I am not the same as Aqua and Terra, Norted and apparently on a RAMPAGE! Look!! Look at them!” Lea grabbed Roxas’ arm and spun him to face Zack, who sat with Cloud and was leaning his head on their shoulder. Isa wasn’t even there, still being looked after by Aerith, while Auron had to be brought to an actual hospital. The message, though, was loud and clear.  “What if that happens to you?!?” Lea would never forgive himself. He would never, ever forgive himself. Kids weren’t supposed to be involved.
“It won’t!”
Xion and Ven had taken a step back once Lea started yelling, rather than crowding around Lea while he did the Scared Mom thing. They watched one another and the exchange, looking as if they wanted to input something but didn’t want to face overprotective Lea.
“You can’t know that!”
“They’re out there!” Roxas finally snapped, stamping his foot like a sullen child. “Okay?! Terra and Aqua—or, or Jeff and… what did he call her? Jeff and Regina are coming here, Lea! You saw Leon’s text—Terra’s gonna raze the fucking town trying to get to Ven! Then it won’t just be me and Donald in danger!” Donald quacked when he realized he was being spoken of, but didn’t try to get into their conversation. “It’ll be you, and Xion, and Ven, and Naminé, and everyone here. An entire town of innocents is a whole lot worse than just Donald and me.”
Lea’s eyes darted between Roxas and the kids, between the two keyblades Roxas had suddenly conjured. Oh, he hated it when the kids used logic on him.
“At least if it’s just the two of us, I won’t have to worry about looking out for anyone else, and I grabbed like twenty Mega Potions, so when Donald inevitably doesn’t heal me, it’s fine.”
Lea shook his head hard and whipped around to Ven and Xion. Ven squeezed Chirithy tighter in his arms. “You two! Talk him out of this!”
“Someone has to stop them,” Ven whispered into Chirithy’s fur, only just loud enough to be heard. “Even over keysta, something hasn’t felt… right. It’s like… like that’s them, but it’s not them? I don’t get it, but Aqua and Terra aren’t in control. If we can’t stop them with reason, then we have to stop them by force. And I guess if I trust anyone to do it, it’s Roxas.”
“Wrong answer,” Lea snapped. “You.”
“Lea, if someone doesn’t, we could all die. The king might be… kind of weird, but he has a point. Roxas is a bitch to fight. He’s fast, and the light thing he does makes him impossible to touch. He stands better a chance than any of us.” Xion said right after, without even missing a beat. She seemed a little nervous, but she also knew that Roxas was one of the better fighters in their bizarre gaggle of friends. “Riku won’t even fight him.”
“That’s not fair, and don’t bring me into this,” Riku scoffed from the other side of the shelter, where he was crouched by Naminé.
Donald finally came up and touched Lea’s shoulder with his staff. He looked psyched up and ready to go—probably, this was the only chance of him being brave, so they had to take advantage of it. “Don’t worry,” he quacked, “we’ll be home in time for supper.”
Lea took an extra few seconds to translate the duck, then looked down to Roxas, who looked to him with a surprisingly hopeful and fiercely determined blue gaze. He wanted to fight. He had offered to help before, and now it really was no longer a choice.
...Kids were not supposed to be involved.
“You saw what they did to Isa and Zack.  Auron’s a hell of a lot worse. So if… if you’re going to do this, you’re going to be safe, and you’re going to be smart. And you,” he turned down to Donald, “are going to heal him whenever he needs it.”
Donald nodded shallowly, muttering under his breath (something about no one worrying about whether he’d be safe?) and walking toward the waiting Leon.
“Lea—“ Roxas started, but before he said anything, Lea snapped, “and none of this last words bullshit. You’re coming back.”
“Of course I am! Terra’s slow, and Aqua is better with magic than her blade.”
Lea clapped his hands on Roxas’ shoulders and looked him up and down. Hard to believe this was the same gremlin who semi-regularly wandered Twilight Town looking for old leftovers to eat, or the same zombie who used to follow him like a puppy.
“Good luck,” Xion said, reaching forward to squeeze Roxas’ shoulder just above Lea’s hand.
Ven hugged Chirithy a little tighter, lifting his face out of its fur to request, “bring them home. Please.”
“Don’t worry! This is gonna be easy as pie.”
Finally, Lea drank enough of an eyeful in of this stupid, reckless teen. When Xion dropped her hand, he tugged Roxas forward and hugged him close against his chest, meshing his hand into his soft hair. “Be safe.” It wasn’t often that he said what he was about to say, but when he did, he meant it with his whole restored heart: “I love you.”
“...I thought we weren’t doing any of that last word bullshit.”
Lea sniffed hard and released the brat. He cleared his throat and shoved the kid away, toward Donald. “We’re not! Just… get outta here, and don’t get yourself hurt too bad.”
“Aye aye!” With that, Roxas turned on his heel and approached Leon, saying he was ready to go. Leon nodded and escorted them toward the Gummi hangar. Lea watched Roxas take out his phone, probably to text one of the other kids (since keysta was pretty much shut down as per Leon’s command).
“Remember!” Xion called, jumping to her toes. “Scars are sexy!”
“Xion!”
Roxas waved them off with a laugh. Then, he was gone.
Within a few minutes, a small Gummi ship left the hangar and headed toward the outskirts of RadGard, where they hoped to cut off Terra and Aqua on their warpath—catch their eye with the lookalike of their target, then bring them to their knees where no one else could get hurt.
Lea closed his eyes and took a deep, steadying breath. Suddenly, he wanted to see Isa. He was awake when they brought him in—maybe he was still awake now. Isa had a monotonous, soothing voice and saw reason like few others—it was why he had disappeared to find Terra and Aqua, and unfortunately was why he was hurt now. Lea didn’t have to like it, but he knew that what Isa had done made sense. ...At least some.
...But Aerith had said she would come find him when Isa was finished being healed. He liked Aerith, and knew she would keep her word. He just… had to trust her.
Instead, he turned to Xion, who looked up at him with curious eyes. She suddenly stumbled, nearly lost her footing, when Lea tugged her hard into his arms and hugged her close. At least this was one he could hold close.
“Yo,” Cloud called from next to Zack, who now seemed to be half-napping on their shoulder. “He’s gonna be fine. Kid’s tough.”
Lea glanced his way, eyeing Zack on their shoulder whose hand was so messed up it nearly had to be amputated.
“Dilan and Aeleus went with ‘em,” Cloud continued. “Not to fight—so they’ll have an airlift if they run into any problems—“ Lea’s eyes went wide instantly, heart pounding like a heart attack, “—aaaand if they don’t, they can get Aqua and Terra on the ship and to Ienzo ASAP. We thought this one through this time.”
Lea scowled a little and dropped his head to rest on Xion’s head. Xion was squirming a little and kind of making like she wanted to go to her girlfriend, but Lea had firmly decided that until Roxas was back safe and sound, he wasn’t letting her go.
Suddenly, there was a noise outside like a ship coming in. Lea lifted his head toward the one window and saw… the same ship that had just left a little more than five minutes ago? ...What?
Fuck, that couldn’t be good. It could not be good. Dilan and Aeleus were bringing Roxas and Donald back already—they must have lost spectacularly. Xion had said scars were sexy, but he hoped that Roxas knew she was joking.
Leon went out to meet them, a little trepidant because it was far too early for them to be home.
They’re dead. Oh god oh no oh FUCK they’re dead. Dilan and Aeleus are going to carry them out in a goddamn bodybag Lea what the hell were you thinking he was a KID! What’s Isa goiiii—what?
Much to probably everyone’s surprise, the door opened and it wasn’t Leon, Aeleus, or Dilan to step through.
Sure enough, Roxas stepped through the hangar door, an arm behind his head. Donald followed him through. Neither looked like they’d even broken a sweat. In fact, Roxas was grinning like he had had the time of his life.
Roxas lifted his head to them, then lifted the arm behind his head in greeting. “I told you!! It’d be easy as pie!! Ven, Aeleus and Dilan are bringing them in now.”
A startled silence descended over the three keyblade wielders, who didn’t know quite what they were meant to say to that. Everyone else chattered—Naminé dove at Roxas for a hug, Riku clapped him hard on the back, Goofy barreled for Donald, Cloud went to assist in getting the two Norted wielders in.
After a moment, and Roxas walking toward them still grinning like a madman, all that Lea’s mind was able to process was that he didn’t know what the fuck was going on. Roxas and Donald had succeeded in like two minutes, where Auron had nearly died, Zack nearly lost a hand, and Isa wouldn’t be breathing right for days?
“...What?”
