Hi all! Me again, with another roleplay. Through Discord I found another RP partner, so this is strictly 1x1. It is a College AU, though it has some canon tidbits included.

 

Please refrain from posting in this topic, but feel free to read along and join us for this journey!

 

Thanks!

 

Hoshi, take it away!

Kairi smiled sleepily and lifted her hand from its resting place on Sora's arm to rest on his cheek. "Good," she breathed softly. She kept her hand on his smooth face for a moment before she let her fingertips lazily trace over his cheek, before it found her pillow. "You should stay over more often," she confessed drowsily. He was nice to cuddle with, and he helped her sleep well.

 

Roxas heard what Kairi said, however soft it was, and he squeezed Namine gently at the words. Even if they weren't meant for him, he liked the idea. If it meant being able to hold Namine like this, he was all in.

Sora blushed, and he was happy that the darkness hid the ruddy color. She would like that? "M-Me too. I mean...yeah. That would be nice." The gossamer touch of her fingertips against his cheek bought goosebumps to his skin. 

 

Naminé returned the squeeze. A whisper slipped against his shirt, audible despite being slightly muffled by the fabric. "Roxas..."

"Hmm," Kairi hummed with a smile. She would like that too, very much. Even if she forgot this conversation, it would still be true to her. She felt her best with Sora around. And by the sounds of things--and feelings--he liked being with her too.

 

Roxas couldn't help but smirk faintly at that sound. She was so...cute. Especially when she was sleepy. He lowered his lips to her hair, pulling her a little closer. He was here.

Sora slept through the rest of the night peacefully with Kairi in his arms. Her presence acted almost like a nightlight, keeping the shadows of his past, of Xehanort at bay. the blanket that had been draped over both of them was nearly on the floor with only a corner clinging across their stomachs. Stretching tiredly, Sora buried his face into his pillow for a minute more before opening his eyes. "Morning, Kairi."

Kairi rolled over in her bed, peeking her eyes open at the greeting. Sora. She blinked. Sora?! Kairi sat upright quickly, a small squeak leaving her mouth. He was in her bed?! It was morning?! When did they fall asleep? She looked over her shoulder to see Roxas in Namine's bed, though her roommate couldn't be seen; Roxas had his back to the room which meant Namine was on the inside of the bed near the wall, behind him. 

Sora moved his neck around, an easy smile in place. He felt well-rested today. The fact that he had just shared a bed with Kairi for the night hadn't quite hit the brunet yet. "Rox, you up yet?" Sora looked to Kairi. "Roxas isn't really a morning person. Found that out the hard way." Which involved a rather heavy trinket being lobbed at his head. 

Roxas groaned softly at the call. He didn't want to wake up yet. He was so comfortable... Namine was warm...

 

Kairi ran her hands through her hair hastily, trying to look presentable. Sora was completely okay with this...? Maybe she didn't need to freak out then. They were best friends. They shared a bed. It wasn't that big of a deal, right? She liked it, of course, but....she didn't want to push any boundaries.

Sora looked at Kairi again, taking note of her pajamas calmly for a moment before his eyes grew large. Reality sunk in. Deep. Hastily, Sora swung his legs over the bed to stand. The movements were too fast, however, and the brunet fell against Kairi’s dresser with a loud thud. Nothing broke, but a gradient of pink lipsticks rolled onto the floor. “Sorry!” Sora apologized and went to pick them up hastily.

 

The sound woke Naminé up. She shifted so that her head peeled up from behind Roxas. “Sora?” She asked groggily. Her hair was a fluffy mess. “What’s wrong?”

Kairi brought a hand to her mouth when Sora fell, but then she covered her face. "Oh no," she said into her hands. She peeked through her fingers at him, embarrassed herself. Did she make him stay? Did she make him uncomfortable in any way? I'm so sorry if I did.

 

Roxas looked over his shoulder at the noise. "Sora, you idiot!" he grumbled. What was he making all that noise for? He buried his face back in the pillow, still too tired to notice his arms were around Namine's smaller form. He just wanted to sleep...

Setting the lipsticks back onto her dresser, Sora offered a sheepish grin. "Um...it's all good now." He was happy to have been able to be with Kairi last night, but what did she think of the situation? Did she regret it now? Was it merely a remedy for a moment of weakness? Or did his presence mean as much as hers did to him? Hearing Roxas's complaint, Sora chuckled. "As long as he's not armed..."

 

Naminé pushed herself upright a little more and looked down at Roxas with an affectionate tilt of the head. "Roxas," she coaxed sweetly, "I think it's time to get up now." She weaved her fingers through his spikes, enjoying the soft texture. 

Kairi chuckled softly, relaxing a little. Everything was fine... Things between the two of them were fine...right? She looked to the blondes in the room and felt her smile soften. Can they just date already?

 

Roxas exhaled a sleepy breath through his nose at the touch. "Mm-mm," he hummed in protest. Especially with Namine running her hands through his hair like that... God, nothing felt better. He wanted to stay in her bed forever if it meant she would keep that up. He kept his arm over her side regardless of her movement. He was so comfortable. Five more minutes...

She moved her hand away then and started to pull away with a mischievous sparkle in her blue eyes. "I'm getting up now~" He really was adorable like this. 

Roxas peeked an eye open at that. Upon seeing the taunting look on her beautiful face, he smirked himself. "Nuh-uh," he said in response. He wrapped his arms more securely around her and brought her closer. She wasn't going anywhere. Clearly he liked being with her like this; he stayed the night with her in her bed, she ran her fingers through his hair... The feelings were mutual, he hoped.

 

Kairi looked to Sora. It seemed like he and Roxas had completely different reactions to waking up this morning, as did she and Namine. What did that mean? Even so, she couldn't deny how adorably messy Sora's hair was in the mornings, crazier than normal. It was cute.

Naminé squealed, but her attempts to break away were half hearted. "Roxas!" she protested weakly, "We can't sleep the whole day away!" Though, she couldn't deny that the thought was appealing. Nestled together in their own cocoon all day...it would be paradise. She wondered if he felt the same?

 

Sora raised an eyebrow and called over to the blond teasingly. "We do have to go get breakfast eventually, you know." He moved his gaze to Kairi then. "I think we should make a second bet." He wanted to add that she beautiful in the mornings. That her burgundy hair seemed even warmer with the rising sun, but how could he? They had been so close, and yet, even now, Sora still felt so far from being able to confess his feelings to the red head. 

"Oh yes we can!" Roxas replied, burying his face in Namine's soft hair. He wasn't letting her go, not even close. The thought of staying in bed was great. Could they do that? Could they just take a lazy day for once?

 

Kairi tilted her head at Sora's words, lifting an eyebrow. "Oh yeah?" she challenged. "What now?" Sora would undoubtedly win their bet at this rate, no question. What other bet did he have in mind?

"You're so stubborn," she teased, feeling her cheeks grow red as he buried his face in her hair. Did he realize how much he affected her?

 

Sora cocked a head in Roxas and Naminé's direction subtly. "What do you think? Before or after Christmas break?" His nobody wasn't exactly mute about his feelings and had a tendency to express himself rather bluntly. 

Kairi heard Roxas chuckle. He was awfully flirty this morning. She glanced the blondes' direction and then back to Sora. "Before," she answered. Most definitely. She would be surprised if they weren't together by Thanksgiving break. She and Sora discussed this last night, but now she changed her mind. Before she had said it would be after the break, but now she wasn't so sure.

"I think so too," Sora confessed lowly. Part of him couldn't help but feel jealous of the two blondes. He was happy still. Of course. Roxas and Naminé deserved to be happy, but...How is it that our nobodies can confess their feelings and be together, but when it comes to Kairi and I...Was there something about being Nobodies that gave them a different perspective? More motivation maybe? Sora wished he could ask Roxas. But the topic of his origins wasn't exactly an easy one to broach, even now. 

Kairi gazed at Sora for a moment. There was a subtle change in his eyes just now, almost a sadness that appeared. But why? Was he thinking along the same lines as her? That she wanted it to be them instead? She would never wish for Roxas or Namine to be unhappy, but...she was a bit envious of the way their relationship developed. She and Sora seemed to be...stuck. That day in the studio, when they had their big fight, she had thought of him and how she wanted him to notice her the way the other guys did. But...nothing. Until last night. And now, she wasn't sure what to think.

"Well, if you two lazy bums won't join us," Sora called to the two blondes teasingly, "then I guess me and Kairi will just have to get breakfast without you." He wanted to disguise his own disappointment with cheer quickly. He couldn't let Kairi be down because of him. ​I wonder if she feels the same though...

 

Naminé tried to answer but her voice could only slip into girlish giggles. She didn't notice her counterpart's expression as she playfully wrestled away from Roxas.

Kairi swung her legs over her bed and rose to her feet, stretching her arms to the ceiling and arching her back. Even if she normally slept alone, last night's rest had been her best one yet. And the only person she could thank was Sora. She loved having him with her last night. She hadn't slept that well in a long time.

 

Roxas whined when Namine managed to get away, the boy then throwing the pillow over his own head. As much as he loved food, he loved Namine more. That thought made him grateful the pillow concealed his face. Love... Was he capable of that? Could he really feel it now? Was that what the current fluttering in his heart was?

Straightening her hair, Naminé looked back at the boy affectionately. "C'mon, Roxas. It's time to get up." She reached for his hand and tugged on it lightly. She really did love everything about him. 

 

"We'll let you girls get dressed first," Sora said, ruffling his hair a little before stretching his arms again. "Then we can hit up the cafeteria." He wanted to spend more time with Kairi. As much time as he could. It's gonna be weird being alone tonight...Which itself was a weird thought considering she had only been by his side one night. But the impact...it hit him hard. 

Roxas willed his blush away while his face was hidden, but he did sit up at Namine's tugging. He looked to her, his fingers curling around hers gently at Sora's words. Was it sad that he didn't want to leave her? Even for a few minutes? 

 

Kairi tugged her shirt down a little so it didn't show as much of her stomach as she looked to Sora. Sadly, she didn't want him to even leave her room. She wanted to crawl back into bed and just...be with him. But...she couldn't. And the thought of going down to the cafeteria after the poster insanity yesterday... What would happen?

"That sounds good," Naminé agreed. She squeezed Roxas's fingers again before releasing him to move towards her own dresser to fish out a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. It was decorated with pain splotches. "I'll change in the bathroom real quick."

Roxas ruffled his hair when Namine got up, but that was when he looked to Kairi. He read her expression easily enough. "Hey," he called softly, attracting her attention. "Don't worry. Between me, Namine, Riku, and Lightning, those posters are long gone. I promise." She had nothing to worry about. Those posters were in the trash.

 

Kairi smiled weakly, nodding. "Right...thanks, Roxas," she said. That didn't mean nobody would remember, though. There would probably be a few people here and there that pointed her out in the crowd. But...she couldn't hide forever.

 

Roxas rose to his feet and placed a hand on Kairi's shoulder. You're welcome, he thought. He dropped his hand and started for the door so he could get cleaned up too. He nudged Sora in the shoulder when he passed him, just because he could.
