home

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[Sora had only intended to get into his closet to locate his blocks, but when he pulls it open he doesn't find his clothes or toys -- there's a whole other room beyond the door.]

[it isn't as simple or as exciting as just finding a new room for him to play in, either. his old bedroom on the islands is clean and the bed is made, although dusty, like someone hasn't been living in it for quite a while. he can hear and smell the ocean wafting from a little window in the corner; he can see the sky and sunlight streaming in and warming the plush rug on the floor -- it's one of his favorite places to play, and consequently, nap.]

[Sora stands just outside the doorway, agonizing silently over whether he wants to go through.]

*he just stares, and doesn't know what to say, as his mind's racing a mile a minute*

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

... M'I 'sposed to go back to my room now, Daddy?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*he sits down next to you, still staring, but then looks at you, swallowing*

... do you want to go back home?

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Will you come with me?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

Sorabug... I can't... we can't...

*starts over*

That's your home. Ri and I can't come with you.

*smiles softly, and tucks one of your eartails behind your ear*

But if you want to go, you should go. I know me and Ri... we aren't your really real parents, huh.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[takes a few minutes to mull that over.]

... Well, if one of you turned into a Momma, maybe! But you're still my daddies here, right?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*smiles*

We're always your daddies here. We love you with all our hearts.

*t-trying not to be a little upset*

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

An' I love you too! So, so if you're my parents, you can come live with me back home!

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*beams when you say that, ffff; time for hugs*

Can we really? Where are we going to live?

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

You can live in my house! We gotta extra room right next to mine!

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

Sorabug...

*smiles, but it's a sad smile*

I don't think your parents would like me and Ri living with you guys. I think... that you have to decide whether you want to be with your parents or with us. And listen - we won't be mad at you if you decide you want to go back to your parents. You've known them a lot longer than me and Ri, and I know that you miss them.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

But .. but you're all my parents! So we have to stay together ... right?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*nods softly*

We'll be together in our hearts.

*puts his palm over yours, and brings yours to touch his chest too*

See?

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

But ... I'd miss you too much.. Just -- just come live with me, okay?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*he's like dying a little inside, and tugs you into his arms, holding you close to him*

S-Sorabug, I'd miss you too! But I - we can't just come live with you. I don't think your momma would like it! And, and we'd have to find somewhere else to live.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

We'll find somewhere else for you to live, then!

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*just holds you close*

Sora, you have to choose! Only you can decide.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

I don't .. I dunno, Daddy! Why do I gotta pick??

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*his heart is breaking for both of you because you're his little 'bug*

Because you can't be in two places at once, Sora.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[... grabs a hold of Sora's arm and makes a feeble attempt to drag him through the door with him.]

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*yes, it isn't very fruitful, and he just tugs you back to him, hugging you some more, tears flowing down his cheeks*

Sorabug, it's okay. You at least need to... need to say goodbye to Ri, first. He would be sad if you left and didn't say goodbye.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[clings tightly.]

M'not sayin' goodbye to anybody ... 'cause you're coming with me..

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*he's clinging hard too*

Sorabug, I can't just leave! It's not that simple!

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[he just doesn't understand at all; he's so frustrated and unsure of what to do, so he just cries miserably into Sora's shirt.]

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*he knows you don't, and it's hard to explain -- he's rubbing your back and trying to just... take you in, as stupid as it sounds, because of course you'll go home, who wouldn't*
