[Chikusa]

[Today was the day that Roxas was finally not too busy on to teach Chikusa all about how to make a basic curry (unless the shinki wants to be more creative). There’s no meat to be seen, but if the other is insistent, then Roxas provide some. He might not eat it, yet everyone else in the temple does.

Now there was just the wait for Chikusa to show up. Just in case Roxas has his two hounds standing guard at the entrance into the forest to guide the shinki in. It’s faster that way maybe?]

[Nanako]

[Later that evening after cooking adventures are over, Roxas is outside and setting up a tent not too far into the forest of his. It was easy to get to and from and still within view of his place. Wasn’t the most ideal way to camp, but he’s more concerned for Nanako being comfortable and to keep any potential fear down. Since she’s been here before, he trusts her to find him as he moves over to the patio. As promised, there’s a setup for s’mores and some of the leftover curry from cooking with Chikusa. ~~And yes, there’s a third sleeping bag in the tent in case Sora gets lonely.~~

If anything, just like with Chikusa, Asteri and Komitis will lead Nanako to where their owner is.]

[Sora]

[Time was set aside once more for a hopefully calm date with Sora. And since Sora loves music, going to the Near Shore to see some of the live performances seems like the best way to spend a day. It’s still nice and early enough in the day without being too damn early so that they can watch some of the musicians set up. The only complaint was the cooler than normal weather.

The blond doesn’t know all too much about instruments other than the ones he’s seen over the past almost three years of his life. So excuse him for staring at a French horn rather intently.]

What is that thing?

[Out and about the Near Shore, June 19th, consider this a Wildcard option]

[Since there was nothing in particular for him to do today, there’s going to be wandering around wherever his feet take him. Bookstores, ice cream parlors, a random place he might like? There’s no limits. Early morning to after the sun goes down, there’s just so much to do in Tokyo. Roxas will never get tired of this city. Anyone who approaches him will find him in a good mood and more than willing to hang out.]

[If you’d like a personalized prompt that is on the 19th or after, hit me up in a pm or at

[It's called being head over heels for Roxas still.

Sora laughs.]

You know that guy, Hibiki? He'd say it was made in Prance.

[Yes. Guy. Hibiki didn't correct Sora.]

Edited 2017-02-26 01:22 (UTC)

[See this is why Sora would be the girl in the relationship.

Roxas grumbles softly.]

Girl. She's a girl.

[They know Forrest. Hibiki was definitely the opposite, plus, after the last meeting and hearing those high pitched noises Hibiki can make? Definitely a girl.]

Did she give you her god name?

[It's just called doki doki!!

Sora gets a puzzled look on his face and stares at Roxas.]

What... No way. He- She... No way... !

[Sora thought Forrest was a girl for the first little while too but he was kind enough to correct Sora almost immediately.

Sora looks a little embarrassed.]

No, just Hibiki! She was really hard to talk to.

[Roxas gives him a fat look.]

Yeah. A girl.

[Hibiki is an actress. An actress trying to... well, who knows.]

Her god name is Apollo. [....] And if she ever upsets you or gets difficult, just say 'nya' at the end of your sentence. She'll run away.

[This is a lot of information all at once.]

She's... Apollo?! You mean your brother, Apollo?! That's great!!

[He's kind of smiling now, looking a tad bit amused.]

What, is she afraid of cats or something?!

It's not. She's awful!

[They bicker like siblings already.]

No. It's a sentence ender, like desu can be. So... [Example... Example...] I love you, nya! [.........] But don't say that to her! Just the nya part!

Huh? Roxas, that's not very nice to say about your god-twin!

[He doesn't know the details but he did find her a little stuffy and untrusting. Hard to talk to but not awful.

Then Sora is laughing brightly and reaching out to grab Roxas' hands into his.]

Say that one more time to me! With the nya part!!

[Cute!!]

Well she is! She thinks she's the best thing ever, is really stuck up, I know she doesn't like me especially for being Artemis, and she's rude.

[Their first meeting and the one after were a complete disaster that just showed how much they could actually be like siblings. It's great. Not for Roxas.

Roxas blinks when his hands are grabbed.]

Huh? [Which part?] Uhm... I love you, nya?

[All that really surprises Sora. Hibiki doesn't like Roxas because they're god-twins??? He makes a face.]

That seems like a really lousy thing to not like you for! You two should be getting along and she shouldn't be rude! She seemed like she was just really proud of herself, though...

[Maybe he should give Hibiki a piece of his mind about family.

Roxas' hands are so warm. They feel good in his cooler ones. Why is it so cold today it's JUNE?! Sora grins happily and steps close to lean up and kiss Roxas' cheek.]

Love you too!! I didn't think something like that would be so cute.

[Like a puppy that got attention from the cat.]

[Not just that. Roxas wouldn't take her at face value. He saw right through her little ruse, and called her out on it.]

.... do you even know the stories about Apollo and Artemis? They didn't get along half of the time. They were literal opposites.

[Just like Hibiki and Roxas are. She's loud and wants attention, he would rather keep to himself.

Sora's hands aren't that cold. He blushes and looks away.]

I-It's not that cute.

[Sora frowns a little.]

Well, no... Not a lot about them. But that doesn't mean your relation now has to be the exact same way. I mean look at me and Aymeric as a big example.

[He then just leans a little closer like he might be trying to steal and absorb some of Roxas' warmth.]

It's pretty cute. You should say it lots just to me.

She's the one who started it. I was trying to be nice each time I saw her.

[Not everyone has perfect family relationship luck like you do, Sora.

Roxas looks back at Sora before letting go of the others hands and pulling his boyfriend close. Better now?]

Not around people.

I'm sorry it went like that, Roxas. Maybe she just needs time to adjust a little.

[He really is sorry it went badly. How cool would it be to have a twin? Sora would be pretty upset if he had one but didn't get along well with them. Maybe things will improve in the future. He hopes so and he's happy Roxas tried.

He lets out a happy sigh. Almost better now.]

Deal.

[He sneaks his arms around Roxas too and grins. Roxas is so warm!! Without really thinking about it he sneaks his hands under Roxas' clothing and warms them on his lower back. Sweet, sweet warmth...

Better now.]

No, I think she's just not a fan of mine. Not like I care that much. She's not making any trouble with my friends.

[As long as she keeps from pissing off people that he cares about, he really, really doesn't care what she does. He'll still be nice to her... but if Sora ever wants them to get along, there's probably going to have to be an intervention.

Roxas nods, then squeals loudly.]

S-Sora!

[Your hands are cold!!!!!!! ~~and he's got a sensitive back~~]

[Luckily Sora is already thinking about saying something. God relations are so up in the air for most people but Sora's outlook on that is that even if two people are totally different, there's a reason for the connection. In the least they should look out for each other like the Norse group does.

Too bad he's too busy with staying attached to a squealing Roxas to say more on that topic in this moment. It's a good thing humans can stay paying attention too long, after all they are in the middle of a music festival.

Sora yelps a bit and says innocently,] What? Wait- Just a second longer, you're so warm! I need it!

[He squeezes and brushes his hands up Roxas' back just a little bit.]

[It would be rather mortifying to have humans pay attention to a squirming blond and his currently making things awkward brunette boyfriend.

Roxas shuts his eyes and whines softly, a shiver running down his spine.]

I-It's making me feel weird!

[He'll just shift enough to hide his face in Sora's shoulder. There's goosebumps he can feel on his arms despite being nowhere near as cold as Sora was. You're killing him here.]

[It's not awkward! Sora is just gathering heat from his Roxas so he won't die. There's nothing awkward about that.]

What do you mean?

[Sora has no idea what he's doing to Roxas all he knows is that Roxas is warm and it's making him feel better. He hates the cold so much. At least Roxas isn't shoving him away.

Eventually he caulks it up to Roxas' dislike for public displays of affection and finally and regrettably lets go. He's getting cold again already.]

It was just for a second, don't be mad! [He jokes, grinning.] Come on, the show is probably gonna start soon.

[It's awkward when your boyfriend is practically feeling you up, especially with other people around.

There's no reply to the question until Sora moves away.]

I-I can't explain it... I just feel hot all over now...

[Hot enough to take his hoodie off and holding it out for Sora. Two hoodies are better than one?]

Right. Do you want to go sit down?

[No one will notice! Or care much! That's the perk of being gods. Sora doesn't care if they could see them though...]

All the better for me?

[He gives Roxas a cheeky grin but then happily accepts the hoodie.]

You don't want it? You might get cold later. [He starts slipping it on though even if it's a little bulky, it's still warm. Once he's done he takes Roxas' hand in his hand heads for the benches to sit and watch the show.] Yeah! Let's go before there's no good ones left.

[It's almost impossible not to roll his eyes. Roxas snorts.]

Keep your cold hands to yourself.

[He shakes his head.] It's not even that cold. [Gee. Are you calling Roxas big? That's rude... he lets Sora lead him to the benches without another complaint.] And we'll find a seat. Everyone seems to be standing.

[Sora sticks his tongue out at Roxas.]

Why should I when I have you as a portable radiator?

[More like Sora wearing two hoodies makes him look somewhat like a Sora marshmallow.

As he tugs him to some benches that have a good vantage point of the stage, Sora picks a set of seats for them. He's never been to a live show like this so he's rather excited. He does observe that Roxas is right, there's a large section right in front of the stage that has a lot of people standing.]

Maybe we can sneak down there for later in the show? I'd like that.

[Keep that tongue in your mouth, Sora. Rude.]

Oh? Is that what you're dating me for?

[Roxas is teasing. To him Sora looks kinda cute all bundled up. Winter will kill Sora...

He's the opposite in having been to a lot of live shows and other events in Koriko. As iffy as he was still about large gatherings, being at them with Sora makes them bearable. He sits and nods, waiting for Sora to sit to pull the other close. There weren't many people in this area plus maybe he can steal some of the heat back.]

Sure. Bands sound even better up close.

[Nya.]

It's one of the perks, sure!

[Sora grins and sits down next to Roxas, scooting to make sure he's close. There's people rustling around on stage so the music is going to start soon. Sora is already fidgeting a little in his seat with excitement.

He glances at Roxas.]

Have you seen a lot??

So you've got a list?

[Roxas nods, relaxing how he sits and letting his back curve with the back of the bench. He would place his arm across the back of it and hold Sora... But that might seem a little possessive. Instead he takes Sora's hand.]

Every time there was a party or festival. Almost one every month. Sometimes two. The Witch really liked parties.

Maybe. It's hundreds of pages long if you want me to list out every thing out loud one by one.

[Do you want the embarrassment, Roxas? Because he'll do it.

If Roxas did put his arm like that Sora would fluster but like it. He really likes it when Roxas is affectionate when they're out. As he laces his fingers with Roxas he watches the people bustle about on the stage.]

Wow! I think there needs to be more music things when we have festivals around here. I wonder if that Sparkle Motion group is gonna do anything neat.

[Just then there's a lighting cue and drums and bass start up. Sora squeezes Roxas' hand as the guitar starts with a melody.]
