A friend and I have been doing a RP for a while now, and it has been scattered across several threads on two different sites. It started as a group story (about fast food of all things ) but then it transformed into something else entirely.

 

We request that nobody join in this RP or post anything on this thread; if you wanna say how awesome we are, message us some other way.

 

Um...You're free to read this for fun if you want to, but this thread has major Birth By Sleep spoilers. And since we've been doing this for a while, we will probably refer to things we've done in the past and you will have no idea what we're talking about. So if you want to save yourself from confusion, then you probably wanna stay away. If not, hey, whatever.

 

The plot was discussed and posted on another website, but here's a quick summary of the whole thing: It's the return of Xehanort.

 

Characters:

Peanut: Sora, Namine, Leon, Aerith, King Mickey, Terra, Ventus, Xehanort, etc.

Forever Love: Riku, Kairi, Roxas, Yuffie, Aqua, Vanitus, Tron, etc.

 

I believe I've said everything that needs to be said...Forever Love, let's get this show on the road, eh?

Terra walked back up the stairs softly so he wouldn't disturb Ven, though he probably wouldn't have noticed him stomping up the stairs. He turned and went back into Aqua's room, medicine bottle in one hand and glass in another.

Aqua looked up when she heard footsteps, and she managed a weak smile at the sight of Terra with what she asked for. She appreciated him taking care of her, even when he didn't have to.

Terra set down the glass on the nightstand, using that hand to help him open the bottle of pills then. Two should have helped, or so he hoped. He poured two into his hand and then held them out to Aqua. "Here."

"Thank you," Aqua said softly, lifting a hand and taking the pills from Terra. She then popped them into her mouth, reaching for the water so she could swallow them down.

"No problem," Terra said with a faint nod, taking his place in his seat again and closing the bottle. He set them down on the ground so Aqua wouldn't be able to reach them from her bed; he knew that she was hurting really badly, and the pain could cloud her senses and make her think overdosing on medicine would help. The only thing it would help do was bring her closer to death.

Aqua swallowed her pills with some water, but then she lowered the glass. She held it in her lap as she stared at it, both of her hands around the glass as she sat there in silence. She hoped the pain went away soon; it as nearly unbearable.

Terra looked down at the glass Aqua held in her hand, staying silent. He had never been good in these kinds of situations; he felt like he could never provide good enough comfort. But he would try to support Aqua the best he could right now, even if it was just sitting by her bed.

Aqua was alive because of Terra. If he hadn't arrived when he did, she would have been tortured until her death. Even if she didn't, she probably would have wished she did. That machine had been awful to her, making her feel like she was on fire...

Terra knew Ven wasn't handling this well. He was so scared for Aqua, and he sat her bedside along with Terra. But the older man had convinced him to go to his own room and get some rest since he honestly assumed Aqua wouldn't wake up tonight. It was early in the morning and he was tired, but he didn't care. He'd stay up till Aqua fell back sleep.

"Terra?" Aqua said softly after a few minutes. She had some questions to ask, about what happened while she was...taken.

"Mm?" Terra hummed, lifting his gaze to Aqua when she spoke. It sounded like she had something to say, so of course he was going to listen.

"How did you know where I was?" Aqua asked, her eyes staying on her glass. "How did you know where he had..." She didn't finish, not wanting to say it aloud. She knew she was being tested, an experiment to that creep. But she didn't want to admit it.

"It's a long story," Terra said softly, glancing back down at the glass in Aqua's hands before he looked back up at her face. "Are you up for hearing it now?" He would explain if she was up to listening.

"...I'm not sure," Aqua said, her expression softening. She was actually a little afraid to find out something she didn't know about, and something that involved the nightmare she went through.

"...Did you notice the tattoo on the side of his face?" Terra asked after a few moments. That was a good place to start, since the research he did on that helped him track down Xavier.

Aqua furrowed her eyebrows slightly as she thought of his face, and she nodded. It was hard to miss, since it was such a large tattoo.

"When I caught a glimpse of it that night, I did some research," Terra said. "It showed that he had trading rights in a certain world. So I went there and then followed a lead that led to you." That was the simple story of how he found her.

Aqua stared down at her glass as she listened and then absorbed all of the information. She didn't remember much about getting to that lab, only being here in her room first and then waking up strapped to some table for one of the tests. How long had she been there anyway? It felt like days...

"I tracked you down as quickly as I could," Terra said softly, lowering his gaze to his hands clasped in front of him as he leaned forward on his seat. "It took about two days." From the kidnapping to the rescue...Yeah, that sounded right. About two days total. The most terrifying two days of his life.

Aqua closed her eyes, releasing a small breath. Two days... Two days of that torture. She squeezed her glass a little at pain she felt in her chest, only being reminded of some of the tests. They had been so bad.

Terra opened his mouth again to apologize for not getting there sooner, but he thought better of it and didn't speak. She wouldn't want to hear that. He knew she'd say that she was just glad he came, and he was glad too. He couldn't live without her...

Thank you, Aqua thought. Thank you so much, Terra. He saved her life, and she wasn't sure he knew how grateful she was to him. He was her hero...her Keyblade Knight.

Terra clasped his hands in front of him again, his eyes on them. There was silence between him and Aqua, and he wasn't sure if it was good or not. It probably wasn't, since so much happened and she was still in pain.

"I'll do whatever I can to repay you," Aqua said after a moment, her voice soft. "As soon as I get better, I'll do anything." She owed Terra so much after what he did for her; he tracked her down and fought off her captor, and brought her home and was taking care of her. Aqua had a debt to pay.

Terra looked up, immediately shaking his head at Aqua. "You don't have to do anything," he said softly. He hadn't gone out and searched for her hoping for a reward. He had been hoping for his best friend, and secret love, to be safe at home again.
