year after year

[if you come across a door that's not completely closed - open it. see that pile of presents in the middle of the otherwise mostly bare room? hear the snoring coming from behind it? that sound is, you guessed it, coming from a very much asleep Roxas, who lies curled up on the hard floor.

despite the graffiti on the wall reading "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ROXAS!" the gifts aren't for him. they're for everyone else, wrapped by him.]


[ooc: it was his birthday yesterday! the gifts are stuff he's found and wrapped but there are no name tags on them; feel free to grab one. they're random books that he thought to be interesting.]

[Oh, hey replixas. Long time no see. You really shouldn't sleep on the floor though, so uh. Have a hand on the shoulder gently shaking you.]

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[Well Namine's going to walk over to crouch down next to him now. You really shouldn't be sleeping on the floor, Roxas.]

Roxas?

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[oh hi. good morning.]

B-buh?

[mumble grumble sits up slowly. ouch ouch stiff muscles.]

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[yeah, Riku didn't think that that was such a good idea either. mumble stir.]

...Namine?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Sleeping's usually more comfortable on a bed or a couch, you know.

[Sympathetic smile.]

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

...hm. Oh. Maybe I was up for too long...

[looks around and... who wrote that on the wall. :|]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Probably. You shouldn't sleep on the floor like that.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

It's not like I did it on purpose...

[sighs and gets to his feet.]

Thanks. I can't believe you remembered... I sure didn't.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Well this is awkward.]

...I uh. Didn't put that on the wall.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

...oh. Well, that's okay. I didn't remember either... but I really do wonder who did.

[tilts his head to the side, trying to decide if he recognises that style of writing.]

[berserk-moon.livejournal.com]

[Now why didn't Roxas say anything? Saix enters the room and sees the graffiti and frowns.]

Why didn't you say anything Roxas?

[Then he notices the asleep Roxas and smiles, moving over to him and sitting beside him.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

It might have just been the room, you know.

[Glances back.]

Though I'm surprised it left you all these presents. That's a little too nice of it.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[well, because he'd forgotten too! he snores lightly, moving a little closer when he senses the warmth of someone else's body.]

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

Hm, maybe...

[looks around, surprised. once he realises what Riku is talking about, he chuckles.]

Oh, no. Those are from me. Go ahead, take one.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Blinks a couple times, staring at him.]

...Why were you wrapping presents for other people on your own birthday?

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

Mmhm. Happy birthday.

[She'll...try to ignore any awkwardness just for his birthday. Has he been able to remember what happened yet?]

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

Oh, but I've been working on these since... I returned, I think. I didn't know it was my birthday, either.

[picks out the present with the nicest looking wrapping paper, giving it to Riku.]

Merry Christmas, and any other holiday or special occasion I might have missed.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[...sits up and blinks.]

What? My...

[looks at the wall. what the hell. how did she remember while he didn't?]

Thank you!

[nope, nothing at all! :>]

*Replies before passing out* ^^;

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[Great. :<

Blinks.]

Um, I, didn't do that.

sleep... or be unconscious... well!

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[...bewildered look!]

Then who did?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Reluctantly takes it, smiling slightly. He's really not used to getting presents from people.]

You really didn't have to get me anything, you know.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

Sure I did. Open it now.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Sighs, and opens it.

..."A Pegasus' Digestive System"?]

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[...well, that's a useful book... right?]

Hm. I don't think there are that many pegasi here...

[berserk-moon.livejournal.com]

[Don't mind Saix starting to purr, and gently brushing the hair off Roxas' forehead.]

Hm, now what to get this precious one for his birthday?
