roxas

(no subject)

[roxas is sprawled out on his stomach, chin in his palm with his elbow pressing into the carpet. with his other hand, he reaches out, carefully nudging some small, colorfully painted shells. after a few prods and pokes, a small, red-orange claw creeps out of one of the shells.]

Man, hermit crabs are boring...

Eh ...

[ shrugs, but he's holding a hand out to roxas, anyway. ]

[laughs a little, grasping riku's hand and hoisting himself to his feet.]

You don't have to. Just askin'.

[ he's always got to make a cursory check to make sure it's the right roxas. there was that one time he didn't-- ... either way, he doesn't let go once he's satisfied. ]

Nothing else going on around here.

[ that's a white lie, though riku's secret projects are about as interesting as the crabs. ]

[the slight tug at the corner of roxas' mouth is a clear indication that he's satisfied with riku's answer and he starts off down the hallway, pulling riku behind him.]

[ it's nice to be satisfactory. ]

[ riku doesn't really need to be dragged, but he doesn't really feel like leading, either, so he glides across the floor without complaint. ]

[finding his way through all the different hallways used to be a hassle, but it's second nature to him now, and in no time, he's pushing through the double doors leading to the pool.]

Cool. No one's here.

That's a good thing?

[roxas pauses for a moment, then shrugs.]

I feel awkward when other people are here.

[ ... he'd comment, but knowing riku, it wouldn't come out the way he's intended at all. instead, he sighs, placing a hand on roxas' head in that age old awkwardly-affectionate way. ]

[ducks out from under riku's hand and starts towards the pool, grabbing a handfull of the back of his shirt and yanking it off over his head.]

[ frowns just a little, toeing his socks off along the way. it's usually not riku's thing, so he's still making up his mind about the pool. ]

[roxas came prepared, already wearing his swim trunks, and after kicking off his socks and shoes, he stretches and dives into the deep end.]

[ all the more reason for him to refrain - riku's no stranger to skinny dipping, but here, it feels out of place. ]

[ thankfully he's no stranger to watching, either, lazily flopping down at the edge. it doesn't hurt to relax every now and then. ]

[breaks the surface a little ways from riku, a content smile on his face, his usual messy-spikey hair plastered to his forhead.]

So... that lion I think I saw earlier? I'm pretty sure it could talk...

[ he's faking that neutral expression right now. why are you so weird, room? ]

What'd it say?

[he shrugs, unsticking his hair.]

I dunno. Some kind of hula manana jibberish...

[laughs after a moment, realizing that he just sounds crazy.

Hula hoops?

[ throws an arm over his eyes. riku doesn't get it at all. ]

[shrugs, splashing riku a little.]

I guess. I didn't stick around too long.

--!

[ whatever he was about to say gets cut off when he rolls away, grunting. ]
