 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....

[He knows that tone, when Lea says his name like that, he's asking something he shouldn't.]

Okay, okay. I won't ask.

[by_heart]

Hey, don't start that, it's just...

[What is it? He sets his fork down and just stares into the container like there's some sort of answer somewhere in there amongst the potatoes.]

I don't know. It doesn't sound right to me.

[Not that he's really ever dated anyone, not the way that book is probably talking about. Yeah, there was the dumb middle school "going out" sort of thing, but that hardly counts. During the time he probably would have been doing the sort of things described in the book, his life was a bit too complicated...]

[heartismyown]

It's okay, I know that tone, you don't want to talk about it.

[Roxas isn't sure what to think about things honestly. He likes Lea the best out of everyone and that's not going to change anytime soon.]

[by_heart]

[Lea walks over and sits down on the arm of the couch, solely because he hasn't smacked Roxas in the head in a while and now seems like a pretty good time.]

I don't, but you do, so talk.

[heartismyown]

[Roxas gives his knee a shove.]

It's okay, I don't need to talk about it. I'm reading this book.

[by_heart]

[Yeah, that's not filling him with a whole lot of confidence or making him feel any better about the situation, Roxas.]

Oh, so you're gonna be an expert now.

[heartismyown]

I don't think so, but I'll read it. I haven't done any of these things.

[by_heart]

[He's torn between asking what sort of things Roxas means or hoping Roxas doesn't tell him, so he just tries to read over his shoulder instead.]

[heartismyown]

[Roxas goes quiet since he's still reading about kissing, but when he turns the page it starts getting into more sexually explicit acts.]

[by_heart]

[Lea makes a strangled little noise.]

Okay, maybe that's enough of that for today!

[OR EVER.]

[heartismyown]

[Roxas glances up at him, blinking.]

What do you mean? It's talking about touching now.

[He flicks through a page or two about girls, how is that gonna help him?]

[by_heart]

I know what it's talking about!

[There better not be illustrations!]

[heartismyown]

[Well it wasn't, but then there was a picture of a naked girl and Roxas blushes. Eep! He turns the page pretty quick.]

[by_heart]

[So he can get embarrassed. That's a relief at least.]

See, it's just gonna get worse from there.

[heartismyown]

But I want to know!

[Even if he's blushing, how else is he gonna learn?]

Unless you're gonna show me, I have to read it!

[by_heart]

You don't have to read it NOW! You know what a naked guy looks like, anyway!

[It's not like there aren't mirrors in the house. Of course, this is ignoring that that's probably not all Roxas means by "showing him"...]

[heartismyown]

Yeah, I know that. That's not what I mean. There's more than pictures in the book.

[Huh, how about that, the touching leads to pleasure. He can read about how that works.]

See, look? There's words here!

[by_heart]

[Yes, he sees that there are words there and he's kind of staring at them in morbid fascination.]

And you don't need to read them right now! Whatever happened to the whole "dating" part of the book?!

[heartismyown]

That was the first part of the book. Going out, spending time together, kissing, stuff like that. This is the other part of the book.

[Well duh, Lea.]

[by_heart]

[Lea just sighs and scrubs his hand over his face. He's halfway tempted to let him just read it. If the tries to tell him not to at this point, he's just going to want to find out why and read it anyway when he's not looking.

Maybe he'll embarrass himself and give up.

He can hope.]

Right.

[heartismyown]

[He looks up at him from the couch again.]

How do you ask someone to do this stuff?

[by_heart]

What, that's not in the book?

[Deflect. DEFLECT.]

[heartismyown]

Nah, it just explains what you do.

[by_heart]

Some book. Riku should ask for a refund.

[At least Roxas hasn't had any commentary on the "what you do" part yet.]

[heartismyown]

[He tilts his head a bit.]

You didn't answer my question again.

[His tone is less than enthusiastic. A little tired.]
