 I need to practice with Roxas! Please drop me a line.


Roxas finished smashing the computer, the one that ruined his life. He swung around angrily and stalked off into an unknown room where he found Sora, fast asleep.

DiZ appeared before him. His eyes narrowed, his hand clenched tightly around the keyblade as he swung it back and forth wildly, attempting to attack him. He was familiar. He was the one who did this to him. It was all about that Sora!

"My heart is my own!" Roxas cried, spinning around. Everything has gone white.

When Roxas awakened, he found himself face to face with....

'Cause it's making my stomach hurt now.

[He pouts a little.]

I don't think I like it much.

[by_heart]

[Lea fakes a pout.]

No? Well, okay...

[Spoilsport.]

[heartismyown]

Okay!

[Aw, but Lea is pouting. He grabs his wrist and tugs him a bit before wrapping his arms around him. He can't pout on his birthday, that's not right.]

[by_heart]

[Lea laughs and hugs him back.]

You forgive me quick, huh?

[heartismyown]

I guess, but I didn't want you to be upset.

[This is what happens when you pout Lea.]

[by_heart]

[Lea shakes his head.]

You're so gullible, too. I'm just messing with ya.

[He kisses Roxas on the forehead. Poor kid. He takes everything so seriously.]

[heartismyown]

I'm not gullible!

[He got a kiss though, so it's not too bad.]

I guess I have to do my homework, right?

[by_heart]

Hm? What homework?

[heartismyown]

Sora brought me another one of his books to read about history stuff. Sounds boring though. Probably don't need to know that.

[by_heart]

You're asking the wrong guy on that one. I'd've failed everything if it-- [He catches himself. He's mentioned Isa once to Roxas before, but he's not sure if it actually sunk in.] -- If I didn't have notes to copy.

[heartismyown]

[He groans a little.]

I don't like all this stupid stuff.

[He has his reasons though, he has to learn all these things.]

Sora won't give me his notes, he says you're not supposed to copy off people.

[by_heart]

Sora's a big fat liar and I bet if you looked at those notes they'd mostly be copied from Kairi and Riku.

[He'd put money on it.]

History's kinda important, though. The book makes it sound like the most boring thing ever, so you kinda have to pick through to find the fun parts.

[heartismyown]

Are there any fun parts?

[Doubtful Lea, doubtful.]

Maybe, I don't know. He said I shouldn't copy his notes though.

[by_heart]

Yeah, sure there are. Don't know what history you're studying, though, so I can't really tell you where they are.

[For all that he jokes about being Professor Lea, school was never really his thing.]

[heartismyown]

I guess I just have to read it all.

[He tilts his head.]

I don't want to do it now though! Let's do something.

[by_heart]

Sugar's finally kicking in, huh? What do you have in mind?

[As long as it's not more baking or more cake.]

[heartismyown]

I don't know, it's your birthday! What do you want to do?

[by_heart]

It's not my birthday yet. Or are you gonna give let me just do whatever I want between now and then? Not that I don't get to do whatever I want anyway because, hey, it's my house.

[He pokes Roxas in the forehead.]

Freeloader.

[heartismyown]

[He rubs his forehead with a pout.]

Fine, I'll go find something to do by myself and you can't come.

[by_heart]

That sounds terrible. I don't know how I'm gonna cope. Maybe I'll go shut myself in my room and take the longest, most peaceful nap I've gotten in months.

[heartismyown]

Well maybe you should! I'm going out!

[by_heart]

Buy me a tea towel while you're out.

[Lea steps back to give him space and waves.]

[heartismyown]

I'll think about it!

[Roxas heads out, hmph Lea can go nap or whatever it is he does when he's not around.]

[by_heart]

[Napping is what Lea usually does when Roxas isn't around. He pushes himself harder than he probably should when he's off training and trying to master his Keyblade and when he's home he usually gets wrapped up in helping Roxas do his homework, keeping Roxas entertained, and keeping Roxas out of trouble. It's kind of like having two full time jobs...

Though instead of crashing right away like he would sort of like to do, Lea finished cleaning up the kitchen instead, then hunts down Roxas' history textbook to see if he can make any sense of it, which reminds him why he never used to bother in the first place. He ends up sprawled out on the couch, bored to tears and drifting off to sleep with the book on his chest.]

[heartismyown]

[It's really dark when Roxas comes back. He sneaks into the house quietly. He does bring a tea towel and he leaves it in the entrance in favour of heading to the bathroom.

He doesn't want to wake Lea unnecessarily. He ran into some other kids, some who remind him of that Twilight Town's Seifer. They didn't exactly play fair either. He frowns at his reflection in the mirror.]
