A Sora told me that there were people who survived eating hearts; I can make them, if anyone needs some?

[doesn't expect people to take him up on the offer, but wants to make it anyway]

Comments

I don't want you to either. [His shoulders hunch forward a little and he bows his head.]

[createdheart.livejournal.com]

I jus-

[wavers a bit, suddenly, looking pale, and abruptly leans against a wall, sliding down and sitting there, looking dazed, the papers dropping to the ground around him]

Nhhgh... [clutches his stomach, breathing shakily, trembling]

[part-of-another.livejournal.com]

Riku!

[Closes the gap between them in an instant, dropping down beside Riku.]

[createdheart.livejournal.com]

[shudders, and coughs suddenly, curling in on himself and then stopping finally, breathing shakily]

H...happens sometimes...Ma--Vexen suspects it's...'cause of some of the treatments...

[part-of-another.livejournal.com]

Not much of a surprise there. [But the flat tone of the words is not directed at Riku.]

Here.

[Hands an opened elixir to Riku. Roxas knows that Riku said earlier that he couldn't use magic, but it can't hurt to use an elixir to cover all the bases, so to speak.]

[createdheart.livejournal.com]

[takes it after a moment, drinking it down and gagging at the bitter taste, making a face]

This is disgusting--

[though he's feeling better, it didn't erase the hollow feeling inside. Even if he wants to press up against him once more, and take that small bit of comfort, he's still mad, and hurt]

[part-of-another.livejournal.com]

Most things that are good for you are -- or so I've heard. [Roxas makes an attempt to sound encouraging and fails miserably.]

[createdheart.livejournal.com]

[just looks up at him, not quit getting the joke, looking away and really wanting a bed]

You should go.

[part-of-another.livejournal.com]

I'm not going to just leave you here like this. [protesting]

Unless you really want me to. [Hastily amends that first statement.]

**meant quite

[createdheart.livejournal.com]

[exhales, shrugging. He knows it's not wise fro him to be alone after one of the attacks happens; Vexen always stayed after to make sure he didn't die after he nearly did once in the beginning]

Then come.

[shrugs, standing up after pushing Roxas back away so he can, staggering off to what he'd claimed as his room]

's okay ^^

[part-of-another.livejournal.com]

[Straightens back up and silently climbs to his own feet, following after Riku to what he presumes is his room.]

Re: 's okay ^^

[createdheart.livejournal.com]

[nearly collapses on the way there, leaning heavily on the wall and coughing again, shoulders shaking]

Uhh, Riku? Roxas really isn't able to do that on command. Just FYI. XD

[part-of-another.livejournal.com]

[This isn't looking good. Roxas moves to intercept Riku and slides his head under Riku's arm and wraps his own arm around Riku's waist.]

Which direction are we going?

Roxas is magical, he needs to clearly. XD

[createdheart.livejournal.com]

[leans heavily on him, dizzy]

Three r-rooms down--

[coughing up blood now, very nearly collapsing, trying to push Roxas away so he doesn't get blood on him]

[part-of-another.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, change that to 'this definitely isn't good.']

Almost there.

[Does his best to support Riku with one arm while opening the door with the other hand. Makes a beeline for the bed and guides Riku over to it.]

We'll pretend riku has magical blood that doesn't need washed off y/y XD

[createdheart.livejournal.com]

[sits down heavily, groping for the bottle of water he keeps beside the small bed, coughing over and over, barely able to drink. Eventually everything stops, the water keeping him from coughing too much more, and he slumps back onto the bed, exhausted.]

Y'didnt't hav't help me... [rasps it, pale-faced and tired]

Courtesy of Vexen who was tired of having to clean a bloody lab? XP

[part-of-another.livejournal.com]

[Is also sitting on the bed about arms length away from Riku, watching him closely in concern.]

No, but I wanted to.

Lolol only good thing Vex did.

[createdheart.livejournal.com]

[sleeeeepy, eyes closed for a few moments; his other Roxas isn't in the room, something he's kind of thankful for, just so that they're alone for a bit; he wouldn't be able to concentrate on two people.]

Dumb... [murmurs, shifting over on the bed, leaving room for Roxas to sit if he wants. ]

Actually, I bet he made Riku clean the lab....

[part-of-another.livejournal.com]

Hey! [Roxas makes a protesting noise for the sake of doing so, but he's not actually irritated by the comment.]

[Gets up and slowly manages to tugs the bed comforter and sheets down while Riku is laying there and then pulls them up over him.]

You should probably get some rest.

[Looks like he is torn between staying and leaving.]

Rofl, probably.

[createdheart.livejournal.com]

[sends him a sleepy look, curling his hand in the comforter.]

S'room....[slurs it, finding it too much effort to annunciate properly after an attack.]

[part-of-another.livejournal.com]

[Raises an eyebrow while eying the bed, trying to remember if he had ever shared a bed with anyone before.

Nope, nothing was coming to mind, but that bed certainly looked more comfortable than the floor, and this way he could keep an eye on Riku.

He shrugs out of his black coat and kicks off his shoes, then tugs up on the sheets at the bottom of the bed to see if he needs to take off Riku's shoes too.]

[createdheart.livejournal.com]

[It's the first time for Riku to have a bed, since he slept on a lab table while in the lab.

He's already kicked his shoes off, and is just watching, laying there and breathing shallowly.]

S'the acid...H'found out it breaks down... m'immune system... s'why I get sick so 'ften, n'why I can't heal. H'said this was me a'm'best...'cause I make good hearts...

[part-of-another.livejournal.com]

[Roxas more or less hesitantly eases himself onto the bed but lays on top of the covers, propping his chin up on his hands.]

Maybe there's a way to work against the acid.

[He hopes that maybe there is something about it in the notebooks, seeing as they didn't even read through those yet.]

[createdheart.livejournal.com]

[Coughs again, though it's not as violent, shivering and drawing the covers up over him]

What d'you mean..?

[closes his eyes, close to falling asleep]

[part-of-another.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't know. Just maybe there's something that works the opposite way than the acid.

[It's probably a shot in the dark, but who knows? Roxas also ponders over asking a Naminé to help restore Riku's memories, but he quickly pushes that thought aside. The choice will be entirely up to Riku if and when the time comes.

Besides, healing Riku's body is the first priority here as far as he is concerned.]

[Notices that Riku is looking like he'd rather sleep.]

But I'm keeping you awake, and you should be sleeping. We'll think of something once you've gotten some rest.
