You've got a friend in me

[runbysmiles]

Who: Sora and Roxas
When: Monday, May 28th Morning/Afternoon
Where: The island.
Style: I'll match whatever
Status: CLOSED


Late the previous night, Sora had sent out a message specifically to Roxas. All it said was, Meet me at the elevator at 1030 and didn't provide much of an explanation after that.

It was now 10:28 and that's exactly where Sora was waiting. He'd only managed to go up the island once with Kairi. It had been nice knowing a place like this existed, though there really wasn't much else they could do being stuck in a bubble as they were. Still it was just another semblance of home that Sora enjoyed, and he wanted to share it with Roxas. He'd have asked others to come too, but he wanted some time alone with his other. For almost anyone else, he would see them once he returned home, but for him and Roxas it was different.

Sora tapped his foot a bit as he waited.

I vote they break the poor sticks

[coolerthansora]

Of course, the offensive was Roxas's preference, so he followed Sora's retreat. Sora did gain some distance, but he wouldn't keep it long before Roxas closed, bringing the stick down for another strike.

I was thinking that. With the way these boys fight? They need steel.

[runbysmiles]

Sora jumped back a few times as he tried to avoid Roxas, but he couldn't keep this up forever. He blocked Roxas's next attack and pushed back against the makeshift weapon.

yeahhhh

[coolerthansora]

Roxas pressed back, but the sand shifted enough under his feet that he lost ground to his Other, and he leapt back in anticipation of an attack following through.

[runbysmiles]

There it was. Sora rushed forward and jumped up into the air to come down and slam his stick down on Roxas. Had Sora been using a keyblade, the force would have been absorbed well, but this was a peace of driftwood that had already undergone a few blows.

Maybe it would survive, maybe it wouldn't.

[coolerthansora]

Roxas brought his stick up to block Sora's blow. The two pieces of driftwood connected with a loud crack... or was that a snap?

Before he could quite grasp what had happened, one of the somewhat smaller pieces of wood smacked Roxas in the head.

"Ow!"

[runbysmiles]

"Whoa!" Sora cried out as his own piece snapped and flew back past his shoulder. He lost his balance and fell forward towards Roxas.

[coolerthansora]

Already disoriented from the unexpected blow to the head, Roxas suddenly found Sora falling into him. Together they toppled over and landed again in the sand.

[runbysmiles]

"Ugh." Sora groaned a bit and shook out his hair. It took him a moment to realize the soft think underneath him was actually Roxas, and then he was laughing.

"I think we should call that one a draw." He moved off of his other and sat in the sand beside him still grinning.

[coolerthansora]

"Probably," Roxas agreed, sitting up once Sora got off of him. He rubbed at his head where the stick had hit him, and with his other hand he picked up one of the broken pieces lying near him.

"Maybe we should learn how to go easy."

[runbysmiles]

"Where's the fun in that?" Sora said with a grin and a laugh. He picked up his own broken piece and gently tossed it to the side.

"That was still fun though." It had been awhile since he'd just fought for fun, and with wooden swords no less.

[coolerthansora]

"Yeah, well... Otherwise we're gonna have to find better swords," Roxas pointed out, gesturing with his broken end before similarly tossing it away.

He stood up, brushing as much sand off himself as he could, and then offered a hand up to Sora.

[runbysmiles]

"Or we could use our keyblades." But that might be a little more serious than fun if they wanted to.

He smiled up at Roxas and reached out to take his others hand. There was something heartwarming about being able to do something like that.

[coolerthansora]

"Maybe sometime," Roxas considered as he helped Sora to his feet. "I wouldn't mind a real rematch."

[runbysmiles]

"Yeah!" Sora's grin lit up even more. It'd be nice to fight Roxas again when the stakes weren't nearly so high.

He stretches a bit. "Maybe, not right now though. I think one fight is enough for the moment."

[coolerthansora]

"Yeah." The rematch would definitely come later. And between the tickle attack and this little sparring match... "I've got enough sand in my clothes."

[runbysmiles]

"You can say that again." Sora laughed. "I'll probably be finding sad for awhile." And that was after a good shower.

"You wanna just walk for a bit?"

[coolerthansora]

"Sure."

They had come a little ways up the beach from the water during their fight, and Roxas walked back down to it. Cold though it was, he liked the feel of the water running over his feet and the wet sand between his toes.

[runbysmiles]

Sora felt very much the same, and after awhile the water didn't really feel so bad at all. It was refreshing.

He didn't say much as they walked just taking in the moment.
