Ennui.

[It's been a little more than a month since this Roxas's Sora disappeared, and he appeared in his place here in the Dressing Room. If he's been scarce, it's because the doubles freak him out, and he figures it's better that he lay low, hoping that Sora will reappear and he can go home. Truthfully, he's rather torn: does he really want Sora to come back to a place like this? He can't even feel Sora's heart anymore.

But he misses his home, his lovers and family, the sun and normalcy. Right now, most of all, he misses sleeping in an actual bed rather than the couch he's been occupying in Sora's room. Roxas has gathered up his blankets, stuffed puppies and a big overstuffed paopu fruit pillow, and has slipped into Sora's side of the bed in the bedroom with his headphones on and a long eclectic playlist to occupy his mind. He's also really wishing he hadn't picked up one of those fucking Cadbury eggs.]

*you may or may not be sick of seeing Ri's face by now, as he comes in with an Easter basket full of candy*

... Roxas?

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[there's a kid peering at you curiously, a small Easter basket carrying a pile of Peeps on his arm.]

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*Roxas is in the form of a curled up lump -- he can't hear you, the volume on the headphones turned up so loud that you can easily hear them in the silent room*

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*and there's a Roxas unaware of your presence*

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[... he sets his basket aside and pulls on those headphones, wondering what Roxas is listening to.]

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*is Sorabug a fan of death metal? if so, he questions Ri's parenting skills.*

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[he's never heard it before, so he's actually quite bewildered. is someone beating the guy up and he's screaming? Sora climbs up on the bed and starts poking Roxas, trying to get his attention.]

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*it's very possible! Roxas opens his eyes, which look very tired, and focuses on Sorabug*

Hey, Sora.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he sets his basket down and comes closer to see if you're napping*

... don't tell me you hit the sugar crash already.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Hey! That's not very good napping music.. Want me to sing you a lullaby?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*he's tapping gently in time with the beat. death metal is good. which is ironic since he's squeezing a big white stuffed puppy*

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*raises an eyebrow*

Who says it isn't?

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Well.. well, I couldn't sleep if someone was screaming!

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*he laughs softly and lifts you up to sit in the space next to him*

Then sing me something.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Okay!

[clears his throat! he can carry a tune well enough, at least, so he belts out a song his mom always used to sing with him.]

Down by the meadow in a itty bitty pool,
Swam three little fishies an' a Momma fishy too.
Swim! said the Momma fishy, swim if you can!
An' they swam an' they swam all over the dam!

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he puts a hand on your shoulder and raises his voice*

Trying to make yourself deaf?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*he smiles just a bit at that song, though he's not smiling with his Heart, because he wishes you could be home with your Momma and not stuck here*

... that's a really good one.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*he sees you and pauses the music, opening his eyes which are shadowed with exhaustion*

Huh?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he notices that and gentles his expression*

I don't think going deaf will help you rest.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Uh huh! An' on the next part, Momma sings, "boop boop diddum daddum waddum!" an' then I go "SHOOO!" really loud!

[waves his arms to emphasize how loud he "SHOOO's."]

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*Roxas closes his eyes, his Heart pounding when he feels how there's no resonation with your presence the way there was before when he was sure Sora was with him*

It clears my head.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*he raises his eyebrow, amused*

You go what again?

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

I go, SHOOOOO!

[waves his arms again.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Well, feel free to take up the bed then. I know you haven't been sleeping well on the sofa.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

Mmm.

*and he rolls back over, trying his hardest to relax, but he takes a shuddering breath and squishes that plushie harder*
