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 giggled softly and texted her roommate back. 'Only if Sora can stay too!' she replied, adding a smiley face for good measure. So this would be kind of like a sleepover, but not really. They were young adults now and of different sexes. Of course, there wouldn't be any of what happened at the theater earlier. Sora and Roxas respected the girls more than that.

 

Roxas glanced up at the sky. Yep, the sun was nearly gone. It was best to get back to the dorms soon, before dark. Not that Roxas would let anything happen to Namine. Not again. He lowered his eyes to her, hearing her phone chime. "So...we good?" he asked, tilting his head.

Naminé nodded cheerfully as she texted Kairi back 'Of course!'. "We're good!" She almost giggled at the tilt of his head. He looks like a puppy...She wondered for a moment if anyone would think it odd that Roxas was following her back to her dorm room? But, from what she had observed from other girls in their hall, it wasn't anything too uncommon. Though the intent might be different...

Roxas took that as his cue and he led Namine back to the dorms. Considering his room was in the same hall as hers, all he did was quickly change into more comfortable clothes, grab a few drinks for him and Sora from the mini-fridge and his toothbrush. By the time they got to Namine's room, Sora and Kairi weren't too far behind them. Roxas plopped down on Namine's bed, finding it much more comfortable than his. "Did you guys get better mattresses too?" he asked, staring up at the ceiling. They got a more spacious room and a private bathroom. Better beds wouldn't have been much of a surprise.

Naminé went to sit beside him, the mattress eliciting a small groan. "Maybe?" She held a finger against her chin, "I suppose it wouldn't surprise me if we did." Kairi's princess status did net them a number of benefits. Her shoulder brushed against Roxas's lightly as she tucked her hair behind her shoulder. 

Roxas sat up when Namine joined him, close enough that their shoulders touched. He gently nudged her. "Lucky. Mine's kind of lumpy," he pouted. "I wonder how quickly our room accomodations would change if they found out we're keyblade wielders." He then grinned. That would be pretty awesome, and maybe luxurious. 

 

"You did save the worlds a few times, huh?" Kairi chimed in, just then entering her room. She smirked in Roxas's direction to see his grin widen. She had to admit, things would definitely be different if they were all found out.

"Just a few," Sora said with a grin. It was strange to think how this world wouldn't even be here if the keyblade wielders hadn't been around. "Not sure how people here feel about us though," Sora added thoughtfully. The Restoration Committee obviously appreciated them, but it was hard to say what the opinions of the other citizens were since Sora knew that some of their battles hadn't been the kindest to the world's infrastructure. 

Kairi glanced over her shoulder at Sora as she made her way to her bed, sitting cross-legged. "People don't seem too fond of a princess either," she said, smirk gone. "I've got both under my belt." She was a princess and a keyblade wielder. Neither would go well.

 

"Former Organization XIII member," Roxas claimed with a lift of his hand. "And keyblade wielder. And Nobody." Triple threat. 

"We're quite the group of misfits," Naminé joked, but there was little humor in her voice. And I'm a Nobody and a witch...The latter of which people seemed especially terrified of. Naminé glanced at her sketchbook, thinking about her still confusing powers over hearts. 

Roxas chuckled a little at Namine's words. When he caught where her gaze went, he lifted a hand and lightly rubbed her back. "Misfits or not, I bet some people would think we're pretty awesome."

 

"Who knows? Someday we might all be Halloween costumes," Kairi replied, looking to Sora. He always had been a lover of Halloween. She wondered what they were going to do this year. It would be their first Halloween at college.

"I think we're awesome," Sora said, offering Naminé a comforting smile, "And so do a lot of people. Our abilities saved a lot of lives." Even if some people didn't understand, it was the truth. They were heroes.

 

At the mention of Halloween, Sora perked up. He hadn't decided on a costume for this year yet. "Heh, I bet a lot of guys would try to dress like Riku. Can you imagine the keyblade props?" The idea made Sora laugh. Maybe some of them would even be wooden like Ventus's?

"Oh man, Riku would hate it," Kairi added, laughing softly herself. Riku wasn't too huge on Halloween anyway, but other people dressing like him? Kairi knew he would be humiliated.

 

Roxas chuckled. He couldn't say much about people dressing like him. After all, he practically had a twin--Ventus.

"Especially with the wigs," Sora snorted. Riku might tolerate the clothes, but the hair would be too much for his friend. Not that he blamed him with all the duplicates they had encountered.

 

"I might want a Kairi costume though," Naminé teased. She always did like Kairi's pink zipper dress. The blonde, however, wasn't sure how she would feel about a bunch of girls dressed as her running about. It was an odd image in the very least.

"I can always make you one from scratch!" Kairi declared proudly. She was a fashion major, after all. At the thought, she gasped. "Guys! I can make our Halloween costumes this year!" She heard Roxas groan and fall back on Namine's bed dramatically. "Oh stop it, it'll be fun!"

 

"As long as I don't look ridiculous," Roxas grumbled. He didn't want to dress as a hippie or anything. 

Naminé jumped up off the bed in excitement, her eyes twinkling as she clasped her hands. "That would be amazing! We could even go as matching pairs!" They weren't dating, but did that matter? Naminé wasn't sure. She just liked the idea of wearing a matching costume with Roxas. 

"Couples costumes, yes!" Kairi squealed, clapping her hands. "Me and Sora, and you and Roxas." She caught Roxas sit up at the statement, but her mind was already focused on what costumes would fit each couple. "And Riku and Lightning, of course." They couldn't leave out those two lovebirds. They were attached at the hip these days.

"We'll have to start brainstorming ideas," Naminé exclaimed eagerly, "I can help draw up some designs too." 

 

Sora looked to Roxas, his hands behind his head, and chuckled. "Guess we'll leave this up to the girls then." He trusted their judgement though. Kairi knew what he looked best in.

Roxas scratched his cheek, chuckling nervously. "I guess..." he agreed. Sora seemed comfortable with this but....Roxas had never really celebrated Halloween before. He could only hope that if they went to any parties, they didn't end up like Snow's. That would be ugly.

 

"Don't worry, we don't have to start right away," Kairi assured her friends. She mostly spoke to Namine, since she offered up help with designs. "We've got time. For now, let's just...relax." They had an eventful day as it was. First her "picture" fiasco, and then the theater drama. They needed to take it easy for tonight.

"I'm pretty tired myself," Naminé agreed with a yawn. She fell back on her bed and rubbed at her eyes. Today had taken its toll, that's for sure. 

 

Sora gestured to the television in the center of their room. "You guys have a TV, so we can watch a movie while everyone unwinds a little." 

Kairi nodded a little. "Okay. You guys pick," she suggested. She then held up a finger. "But no scary movies." She and Namine weren't the biggest fans of the horror genre. They'd seen enough monsters to last them a lifetime as it was.

Sora feigned hurt. "Are you trying to imply something?" Though, Sora wouldn't deny that he and Riku had often chosen horror flicks during their time with Kairi. They would try to keep to the cheesy end of the genre, but it seemed like even the subpar effects would make the red head jump. Which means Naminé would probably react the same. 

"Maybe," Kairi sang lightly, then leaning back on her bed and adjusting the pillows. "And in exchange, we agree to no chick flicks." She looked to Namine at this, sure the blonde would have her back on this one. It was only fair that they compromised.

Naminé put a finger to her lip thoughtfully before offering a small nod from where she was laying. "I think that's fair. There's lots of good movies we can choose from still anyway." Propping herself up finally, Naminé pushed herself against the headboard and reached for the remote. The screen flicked on only a second before Naminé clicked the 'Netflix' button, bringing up her and Kairi's profiles. "Should we make a new one?"

Roxas chuckled lightly. "As long as we get the password," he chimed with a grin. To have a free account would be awesome. Then again, if they got the password...they couldn't join the girls for a movie night again. 

"We'll have to think about that," Naminé teased lightly. She made a profile for each of the boys before settling to click on the new Roxas one. She handed the remote to the blond. "Here. You and Sora can see what you like. I'm okay with anything as long as it's not horror...or has witches." The latter was still a relatively sore subject for the girl. She had seen a wide range of portrayals since becoming her own person, but the word left a bitter aftertaste in her mouth.

Roxas accepted the remote and moved to sit next to Namine. "I happen to like witches," he murmured to her, smiling crookedly. He, of course, didn't think that Namine was a witch in any sense, but he never liked hearing her make comments like that. If he could cheer her up somehow, he would. Even with a small compliment.

 

Kairi heard that declaration and smiled to herself. Roxas was so sweet to Namine. When is he just going to ask her out already?
