Got it memorized~?

The Darkness keeps his focus on Axel, now folding his arms across his chest.  “Want me to go get Roxas?”

[viiiflurryofdancingflames]

Axel shook his head. “Saix sent Rox on a mission.”

[returnittolight]

“Are you worried about him?”  He knows the pair are close.

[returnittolight]

Riku’s hand drops onto the Flurry’s shoulder.  “Something on your mind?”

[viiiflurryofdancingflames]

The Nobody glances over to the silveret. “Not really sure.”

[returnittolight]

[viiiflurryofdancingflames]

"Mmn…"

     The brunet was out cold for the remainder of the spell, body kicking itself back to consciousness as the magic lifted. Tired eyes fluttered open, blinking blearily at his surroundings. It took him a minute to realize that he was still in Riku’s lap, and he sat up a bit — A hand coming to rub at his face.

[returnittolight]

Riku had somehow managed to fall asleep while holding Sora.  The Keyblade’s head nodded now and then, like he was trying to straighten it but it bobbed – and his hold on the brunet rarely faltered.  At the shifting he felt, he began to slowly come to.  He looks relieved to see Sora awake, though he’s curious.

“… How’re you feeling now?”

[hellismyvacationspot-deactivate]

{I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS CONVERSATION IS NOT A GOOD THING. 

BUT YES, GOOD. I LOVE IT. And yeah, I can see Axe doing that too.}

[returnittolight]

WANT ME TO GET A TOWEL AND WIPE IT OFF YOUR BRAIN?

AHAHAHA.

Yup, me too.  Kinda just loungin' there.  Unimpressed.

[returnittolight]

…THANK YOU ARIEL NOW I’M GETTING MENTAL IMAGES OF — AND EVEN THOUGH AXEL’S A PYRO — HIM ON THE CEILING ENGULFED IN FLAMES.  THANK YOU, DID NOT NEED MY HEART.  OH GOD.  WHY FEELS, WHY THIS.

[hellismyvacationspot-deactivate]

{I AM OFFENDED, THAT WAS NOT MY THOUGHT BEHIND THAT. OH MY GOD, BUT I’M LAUGHING SO HARD. THIS IS COMEDIC GOLD.}

[returnittolight]

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SAY THINGS LIKE 'PEOPLE DEAN HAVE CARED ABOUT HAVE DIED' AND MY MIND GOES BACK TO JESS AND MARY AND I JUST... YEAH.

BUT STILL, GLAD I COULD MAKE YOU LAUGH.

Pfft.  Axe'd probably be like.

'Dude, that all you got?'

'S'not even half as hot as I can make it.'

'Tch.  Lame.'

Pain --

[scattereddreamlikeafaroffme-blog]

     Black was beginning to creep into his vision. Sora was no stranger to fainting. It was the body’s natural reaction to protect itself. “I.. I th-think I’m gonna…—” It was all he managed to get out before his body finally gave out.

[returnittolight]

The Keyblade had been anticipating this would happen and he was somewhat glad that it did.  Because on one hand, meant he wasn’t feeling the pain anymore.  On the other, well – means he wasn’t conscious at the moment.  He kept Sora close throughout – one hand brushing through the brunet’s locks – patiently waiting for him to come out of it.  Though worry would settle in if it didn’t happen.

[returnittolight]

...THANK YOU ARIEL NOW I'M GETTING MENTAL IMAGES OF -- AND EVEN THOUGH AXEL'S A PYRO -- HIM ON THE CEILING ENGULFED IN FLAMES.  THANK YOU, DID NOT NEED MY HEART.  OH GOD.  WHY FEELS, WHY THIS.

[returnittolight]

He just continued to hold Sora.  Whispering comforting words.  

[scattereddreamlikeafaroffme-blog]

     “‘Ku… I d-don’t… I don’t feel so good…” Sora’s voice sounded off — His body, and the abilities that made him the Keyblade wielder finally overpowering the magic enough. He was going to pass out.

[returnittolight]

"I know, Sora, I know..."  God it's ripping him apart to see him this way.  "...it'll be over soon, before you know it."

[scattereddreamlikeafaroffme-blog]

[returnittolight]

Riku let out a sigh, fearful he might bring more pain… but the truth of it was, he liked it too.  Arms curled in more, tighter around the teen.  Holding him there and wishing he could take the pain away.

[scattereddreamlikeafaroffme-blog]

     Sora let out a sigh, his body relaxing as much as possible given the situation, eyes fluttering shut. His body was exhausted, wanting to shut down in self-preservation but it couldn’t — Not with the magic.

[returnittolight]

He just continued to hold Sora.  Whispering comforting words.  

[scattereddreamlikeafaroffme-blog]

Pain --

[returnittolight]

Riku just wrapped his arms tighter around Sora — then he rethought that — loosening them almost instantly, thinking he might add to the pain.  Concerned gaze flickers.

[scattereddreamlikeafaroffme-blog]

     Sora made a soft noise when the arms loosened tipping his head up slightly to look at the teen. “… I-I liked that… The c-closeness.” He set his head against Riku’s chest again, his eyes fluttering shut. How much more can I take..? It hurts so much…

[returnittolight]

Riku let out a sigh, fearful he might bring more pain... but the truth of it was, he liked it too.  Arms curled in more, tighter around the teen.  Holding him there and wishing he could take the pain away.

[returnittolight]

What he wouldn’t give — to take away Sora’s pain.  To hold it, to feel it.  To have none of it be with Sora anymore.  It’s breaking him, shredding him whole.  Obvious by the look in his eyes.  ”It’s okay, just… it’s okay, I’m here Sora.”  He puts a hand on Sora’s cheek.  ”Always will be.”

[scattereddreamlikeafaroffme-blog]

     Sora’s eyes fluttered shut, leaning into the warm hand on his cheek as he let out a shuddering breath. “I-I know you will.” Despite his pain, the brunet gave a smile, nuzzling into Riku’s chest.

[returnittolight]

Riku just wrapped his arms tighter around Sora -- then he rethought that -- loosening them almost instantly, thinking he might add to the pain.  Concerned gaze flickers.

[returnittolight]

Riku frowns, pulling Sora in closer.  ”There’s nothing we can do, but wait… is there?”  He doesn’t like this — but he knows that this might be the only option.

[scattereddreamlikeafaroffme-blog]

     Sora nodded against Riku’s chest. “Nothing stops i-it.” God, it hurt so bad — The brunet was trembling violently, his body trying to fight off the pain to no avail. He’s breaking, that usual strong front of his worn by the constant, intense pain. “R-Riku, hurts…”

[returnittolight]

Riku rushes forth, catching Sora in his arms and those eyes dark with concern — holding him.  ”What’s happened?”

[scattereddreamlikeafaroffme-blog]

     Sora presses his face into the strong chest of his best friend. “M-Magic anon.” One of his hands coiled into the shirt the silver-haired teen wore, the brunet grimacing at another lance of pain.

[returnittolight]

Riku frowns, pulling Sora in closer.  "There's nothing we can do, but wait... is there?"  He doesn't like this -- but he knows that this might be the only option.
