~The Great Ice Cream Hunt~

[It's been a long day. A not-so-fun long day, and Xion's tired. But, as she's been told, the best cure to a long day is ice cream -- sea salt ice cream, of course -- and who is she to argue with a proven cure like that?

She's just going to start rooting through the DR's kitchens, searching over freezers for a box of ice cream bars, though she has to admit, it's a little difficult to properly search when standing on her toes has her still a tad too short to really look.]

You'd think there'd be a big stock of these, [she mumbles, rubbing at the back of her neck with sigh.]

[ Grinning so boldly. He hasn't smiled like this in a long time. But being with Xion again, it's brought out so easily. He opens it and quickly rummages out two packages before replacing the box and hopping down off the chair. He only hesitates when it clicks that it's two; not three. But he shakes it off just as quickly. She was always so sad towards the end. He remembers that much. He wants to keep that smile on her face, so maybe that's why he gives her his goofiest, most victorious grin as he hands it off to her. A very Sora smile despite himself. ]

No problem.

[Xion gives him another smile, and then unwraps the ice cream and takes a bite. Mmm, that flavor was always something she adored; unique, sweet and still a bit salty. She likes the way Roxas is grinning, all bright and silly, and she can't help laughing a little.]

[ He unwraps his own bar as he watches her and his smile relaxes to a warm glow, especially at that laughter. He doesn't even really notice he's taking a bite of his own until he suddenly feels a jolt of pain rush him. And that might be when he realizes that he bit off too much. Wincing slightly. Ugh... The brain freeze. It hurts. ]

[Xion giggled a little around her own ice cream bar, sucking a bit more carefully between bites.] Silly Roxas. [She teased, smiling warmly at him as she took another bite of her own ice cream, and -- whoops. Too big.]

Owwwww...

[ He fakes a look of mild annoyance towards Xion as he comes around. And then she takes too much of a bite of herself- and he can't help but grin. Laughing mildly in turn. ] I'm silly? [ He's not the only one. Roxas watches her... and he can't the second, louder bit of laughter that sneaks out. It feels like old times already. There's just... two things missing.

...But he thinks he can at least remedy the one. ] Hey, I have an idea. Follow me.

[ As he finally closes the freezer and starts out of the kitchen. ]

[Xion blinks at him, but moves to follow after him, still suckling on her ice cream, and trying to avoid big bites.]

Where are we going?

[ At her inquiry, Roxas just grins back over his shoulder. ] You'll see.

[ He makes his way along the hallway, nipping his ice cream here and there while paying mind to the doors until he seems to find the one he's looking for and ducks on in. There, a staircase is found which he quickly ascends. It's long and winding and seems to go on forever even if it's a minute's walk tops. But eventually, they reach the end and he's motioning to door with a slightly smug smile. ]

Go on. Open it.

[Xion follows him, of course, but when they reach the end, and she's faced with a door, she's only slightly uncertain. Well, Roxas had led her there, so of course it would be a good idea to listen to him; there couldn't be anything bad back there. So, she reached out, turned the knob, and pushed it open.]

[ He can't blame her hesitance. The Organization hadn't exactly treated her well. But he's still relieved when she does finally open it herself.

The first thing that she sees is just bright light, brighter than the lighting in the stairwell or the kitchen. The source of it? The sunset compliments of the west-faced door. It's not the clock tower. And they aren't even on the balcony he discovered before. Just the rooftop. But it's right. Smiling behind her. ]

It's the best view I could find.

[Xion's stuck standing there, just staring for a long while. It's gorgeous, completely beautiful, and so similar to their place, but...different. New, and maybe a bit better.]

It's perfect. [She murmurs from where she's standing, just looking out across the roof.]

Yeah...? [ His smile turns a little bashful at that comment, and he finds himself scratching his head slightly with his free hand. Letting her take in the sight for as long as she wants. When did they ever get time like this to just enjoy things as they were for as long as they wished, after all? ]

[Eventually, Xion gets the idea that they're supposed to go out onto the roof and eat their ice cream, and she steps through the door before waiting for Roxas.]

[ He follows after her, taking another small bite of his ice cream as he shuts the door behind them. And then he's walking along, assuming she follows. Up to the edge of the roof- where the complex itself can be seen stretching on forever at different statures. Roxas has a seat in the same position he's always in, patting the floor beside him invitingly. Not that he really has to. ]

[Xion plops down next to him without much direction, getting herself comfortable as she nibbles her ice cream.]

You're pretty good at picking spots, Roxas. [She offers him a small grin around her ice cream.]

Heh... Thanks. [ You can blame Axel's expertise. Not that he would say that to Axel himself. No need to feed his undying ego anymore. ...Okay, he's not that bad, but still. Grinning in turn. ]

So... When did you get to this place anyway?

Not that long ago. I was looking for you for a while, but I couldn't find you. [She looks down, off the roof with a small frown, her ice cream dripping a bit.]

[ A while, huh... Wish he'd found her sooner. But all in all, especially when he sees that frown, his voice becomes stricken with determination. To make her smile again. ] But I found you, and we're together now.

[ Leaning a bit to get a better look at her face. Holding a little smile. ] And this time, I'll really be there.

[Xion turns to look at him, her expression melting back into that smile.] Thanks, Roxas. [She smiles softly, before her attention returns to her ice cream, and she leans just a bit against Roxas' shoulder.]

[ Her smile is back and it makes him relax. It really bothers him to see her worried. Nodding to her gratitude, he regains his focus on his own ice cream. Quickly attending to the droplets that are threatening to drip on his hand. Only to pause when he feels her leaning up against him.

He tenses just a moment in surprise. And then he's leaning just a little back in turn. Taking a bite of his ice cream and chewing thoughtfully. ]

If we're here though, I wonder if Axel is, too.

Maybe. [Xion nods as she licks at the bar of ice cream.] We should look for him, too.

Yeah... [ He nods a little at that. They really should. And then the three of them can have ice cream together again. Just like old times. ] We'll find him. [ Maybe. ]

You really think so?

Well... I found you. [ Something he... hadn't really been anticipating, admittedly. And yet there they were. ] So, it's possible. We'll just have to keep looking.

Yeah. [He was right, so she'd just have to believe they were going to find Axel, too.]

[ Well. He's at least trying to be right. Continuing to chip away at his ice cream... and then a thought occurs to him. ] So, where are you staying here anyway?
