[ riku's got a gun, though it hardly looks lethal, if the neon colors have anything to say about that. ]

Hmm.

[ loads a dart in it, and takes aim across the room. ]

[oblivious, roxas spends his time just staring at a blank spot on the far wall, contemplating sleep some more. it's an easy thing to think about, but not an easy thing to do when your mind is so awake.]

Roxas.

[ tries his best to speak evenly, clearly. ]

[his gaze shifts sideways.]

Yeah?

[ don't be an ass, don't be an ass - ]

Come here.

[blinks, turning over and sitting up. riku is close enough to touch, but he's not sure if he should, so he filters his concern into his voice.]

Something wrong...?

[ straight-faced. ]

Yeah, you're over there.

[it takes a moment for him to understand, moving to stretch out on his side next to riku, elbow bent and chin resting in a palm.]

Better?

[ he spent those ten minutes convincing himself to be more easygoing; roxas likes to hear nice things instead of (unintentionally) abrasive ones, doesn't he? anyone would. ]

I like to hold you.

[ riku just died a little inside, but it's for the greater good. ]

[just laughs, reaching out his other hand to thread it through his hair. seems to be doing a lot of that today.]

You don't have to force it, you know.

I'm just say-

[ oops, there he goes again ... ]

[sighs, hardly put off. for now.]

I know, I know. You're just saying.

I quit.

[ although he doesn't know ... what ... he's quitting. ]

[twists his fingers in the ends of his hair.]

Just as you were getting somewhere, too. Oh, well.

[ opens his mouth; he can't formulate much of a proper response, though that has more to do with being addle-minded than anything else. ]

[tugs his hand from his hair, twisting slightly to lie on his stomach with his hands crossed under his head.]

... sorry.

[ sounds tired all of a sudden. ]

[glances sideways over the rise of a skinny elbow, brows lifting slightly.]

What for?

'dunno.

[ it needed to be said, regardless. ]

[wrinkles his nose, silent for a while. sometime in the silence, he turns over onto his back, hands over his ribs.]

... Me too.

[ that's enough for today. stares at the back of roxas' head for a few moments, squishing his face into a pillow afterward. ]

[ ugh, he'll just. rest here for a while. ]

[and roxas will just try to make shapes out of the popcorn ceiling that really holds no shapes at all. still, it's a way to pass the time until he can finally fall asleep.]
