coffee rings and fading colors

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

Am I doing something wrong?

[He's not a very happy camper today, but he wasn't upset either. Just a little confused as to why a few of his friends Riku. were avoiding him a bit. Or maybe it was just Rikus in general, who knows. Maybe he was offensive without meaning to, but he barely said anything that could be considered harsh.]

I don't get it...

[Siiiiiighs. He'll just take another sip from the coffee mug he held between bandaged fingers, blowing on it and giving a bleh from the hot liquid threatening to burn his tongue. What a night, what a night.]

[Well this one's not avoiding him. He's actually coming in for some of the leftover cake that's in the kitchen.]

Don't get what?

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[ He spots a Riku :o ]

Hmm?

[Curious orbs glanced up.]

U-Ugh, nothing. Must be my imagination or I'm thinking too much.

[Laughs. He likes cake.]

[sundowningly.livejournal.com]

Thinking too much, entirely possible.

[There's the cake, and now he's getting out a plate for it.]

The question is, what are you thinking about?

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[Let him drown his worries in a slice, would you? He'll give Riku a hopeful smile. Just a silent plea to have one too.]

Thinking about two friends of mine. One thinks he's bothering me and that he's afraid he'll hurt me if we're around eachother too much, but I could care less. He's still my friend....and the other is, well he holds a lot in and I can tell he's lying to me. I guess they're avoiding me now, haven't seen them for a while.

[Laughs softly.]

Silly, right?

[sundowningly.livejournal.com]

[He did make the cake, so he doesn't mind sharing. Just hands him a plate with a slice already on it.]

That's not silly. It's definitely something that requires a lot of thought.

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

...Really?

[Usually people just called him a worrywart. Wrinkling his nose, he looked at the slice-taking it quickly with the biggest smile on.]

Thanks!

[Om noms it.]

[sundowningly.livejournal.com]

[Smiles at that. Hungry Sora is hungry, hmm?]

It's normal to worry about thing like that from time to time. Though if you can do something to fix the problem, that's better than just dwelling on it.

[nobodytheartist.livejournal.com]

Don't get what?

[She appears by the doorway, peering in to notice Sora. She doesn't see the bandages...which is probably good. She would worry about her friends getting hurt.]

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[Peers up. He recognized that voice, it was soft and he missed it.]

H-Hey Nam.

[Smiles. Pull up a chair, he won't bite. She knows that.]

Nothing, just a little out of it today. Mumbling and what not, how are you?

[At least the small injuries were do to being clumsy instead of being inflicted by someone else.]

[nobodytheartist.livejournal.com]

[Of course she does. She's also glad to know he looks physically okay, although he does look troubled. Sits down next to him.]

I'm fine, just a little tired.

[From being the new guardian of her future six year old daughter.]

You sound frustrated though. You okay?

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[Wait-when was this?]

Why, you sleeping okay?

[Tilts his head.]

Nah, I'm good. Just a little puzzled that's all. Two of the Riku's have me raising a question mark over my head.

[Chuckles.]

[nobodytheartist.livejournal.com]

[A few days...maybe a week ago. Apparently when you find lost kids in corners of the main room, there's a chance they might be yours.]

Yeah, more or less. But I've been taking care of a six year old who's apparently my future daughter...which is...energy consuming.

[Looks up at him, offering a smile.]

How so?

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[Wow. Scary.]

Y-You have a kid?

[eiofgbefb--Big brother senses are tingling.]

But y-you're too young to take care of a child!

[He'll have to help babysit one day.]

Huh?
O-Oh..Well, they're just hiding some things from me and I can tell they're lying and then they both try to keep their distance because I might be in danger if I get too close to them.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*wanders in for more coffee and snacks, since chasing after kids requires much caffeine and sugar*

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[Well there's some fresh and hot coffee waiting for anyone who wants it. Brewed it himself.]

Hey Ri.

[A big smile formed over his worried face as soon as his friend was in sight. Jingle.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Yo Sora.

*he heads straight for the coffee, sniffing it suspiciously before pouring himself half a mug*

What's up?

=___=;;; late

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[ Don't insult his coffee, it's not poisoned D:]

Nothing much, just relaxing.

[Siiiip.]

How're you?

lolz

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Tired.

*don't be insulted when he fills the other half of his mug with milk and sugar*

Re: lolz

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[...Well, it was his first time making coffee so it was black but...He thought he did a good job, it's alright he filled his with half a cup of creme.]

Can't sleep or are you just waking up?

[Hell if he knew what time it was.]

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[oh, look who's sneaking inside to get a cup of coffee on his own. notice anything different?]

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[So far no, since he only catches a glance from the side at the blond. But he gave a welcoming smile.]

Hey, long time no see.

[How are those fingernails?]

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[better, they're growing back. and the potions seems to have helped, judging by the rate at which they've grown.]

Hi!

[turns to look at Sora. with two eyes.]

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[filsfiohpiefn--Holy shit.]

R-Roxas, you-it, they-oh my God!

[He was jumping out of his seat to get a closer look, peering in to two eyes with a surprised-but happy expression.]

How did this happen?

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[oookay, that's a bit of an overreaction... he takes a step back.
if Sora's looking really closely, he might notice that the eyes doesn't match completely. the right one is a bit lighter in color and if he looks even closer he will notice tiny greenish wires running through its surface.]

I just w-woke up like this.

[sort of fights the urge to cover the eye with his hand.]

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[Whoa...Is Roxas part robot or something?]

Wires?

[Weird.]

-And you're not at all worried about this? What if someone did that to you and there are strange side-effects?

[Like a creepy Vexen taking control of your body?]
