Yang approach from behind , wraps arms around the shortie to present a cake front . “ happy birthday ! “ a digit of cream made a streak line on Weiss face . the cake was homemade small & messy . “ hope your hair turns black fast ! “ throws a joke .

A gasp escaped parted lips, her once relaxed posture stiffened at the sudden touch before the blonde spoke out. It wasn't ideal, but she released a breath and tried relaxing again knowing that it wasn't him. "Hey!" She snapped, wiping the cream off her face with the back of her hand. "Yeah, well...." She tried to come up with something clever and failed. hmph! She folded her arms across her tiny frame, clearly annoyed with the blondes antics.

“ if i told you about the darkness inside me, would you still look at me like i'm the sun? “

(ignitedichor)

She sat down next to the blonde, fingers fiddling with the edges of her dress, picking at invisible loose strings. "Everyone has a darkness in them, Yang." She said turning her head to look at the blonde. "You just need to keep it from taking control." Weiss stopped her mindless fiddling, stretching out her fingers on top her dress, placing one hand on top of the other. "Besides, nothing you say is going to change how I feel about you. You're my friend. We all have our demons. They don't get to choose how we define ourselves."

@dim14thlight | starter.

According to the readings, she was functioning as she should.

From his spot amongst the equipment-covered counter spaces and paperwork strewn about, he could see her from her position on the table.

A few more things typed hurridely on the computer, and he turned to face her.

"Number 14. Can you hear me?"

Fidget tips of digits , glances at flank with fazed eyes . It was new encounter to the girl . ◖ i . . read that i had a nightmare & I don’t know how to treat that ◗ skin sweaty , face paled than normal . darkened lids . a proof that she quiet struggle to sleep for days . ◖. If my performance worsen . . they would get rid of me . . ◗ pained to say it out load but that was one of the reasons she finally reached for the known healer .

piper frowns , not really sure how to respond to this information . they would get rid of her ? who is the they in question ? & why is she afraid of such a thing ? all questions she's dying to ask , but will hold off on until she has hopefully helped xion feel better .

' well ... i'm not really sure there's a way to treat nightmares . ' if there is , she'd love to know the way herself . ' but i've found that talking about the things in my nightmares with someone i trust helps keep them away . it's good to have input & advice from others , but it's not the easiest if you still struggle with guilt or other negative emotions from whatever's bothering you . ' she rubs her cheek sheepishly . ' i'm sorry . i wish i could give you an actual solution . but if you'd like to talk at all , i'm more than happy to lend an ear . '

" did i wake you? " ➠ Piper

✰* - a tired laugh can be heard from the girl , though she doesn't sound upset , despite it being the middle of the night . being abruptly awoken isn't piper's favorite thing , but she's not going to complain about it . after all , xion could be calling with an emergency - & what kind of friend makes another friend feel guilty about asking for help , regardless of the hour ?? ' ah , yeah -- ' she admits , stifling a yawn . ' but it's alright ! i'll live . is everything okay ?? it's awfully late . '

" take my hand again . " - > Namine

✰* — there's something about a trauma bond that can really bring people together . especially when that trauma bond includes learning the complexities of having a heart , of being your own person , of existing for more than just the use of a corrupt group . namine has found that she & @dim14thlight have a lot in common in the regards that it's all very confusing & overwhelming , but having the other by her side has made it all a bit easier .

( at least she's not facing all of this new & exciting & scary stuff alone , right ? )

holding xion's hand feels right . it feels like that's where her hand belongs - namine's not sure if it's because of their connection through sora , or if this is some new feeling she needs to unpack with kairi later . but when the other girl asks her to take her hand once more , the blonde can't help but comply . fingers that normally hold colored pencils & crayons lace together with the keyblade wielders , not squeezing but holding onto her like she might be the only thing keeping her on the ground .

' for some reason ... it's strange , but - does this feel as right to you , as it does to me ? '

“ we all make choices in life. “

﹒⟢ ﹒ASK MEMES :〈 spider-man: into the spiderverse. 〉

" ... yeah. we do. " sora thinks of all the choices he's made up to this point. from the very start of his journey in deciding to travel with donald and goofy to find kairi, to searching for riku ... fighting to save the worlds from organization xiii, trying to find a way to bring everyone back together again ... his decision to abuse the power of waking to save his friends and everything in-between. he thinks of all the choices his friends have made, too -- the things they'd given up for him, or for others. the sacrifices everyone's made.

" but as long as it's your choice — not someone else's — then ... even if it doesn't end well, at least you know it was your decision. it was what you felt was right. what you had to do ... and besides, " sora's pensive expression seems to lift a little, that heaviness in his eyes and energy growing a bit lighter. he offers up a warm smile that's reflected in his eyes. he'd made a lot of risky choices, but even the ones that didn't end so well ... sora was confident that he didn't regret them. not a single one. " even if it doesn't end up going well, you have the choice to do something different in the future. you can't let something like regret or fear stop you from moving forward. "
