Last time I took a really long nap, when I woke up my clothes didn't fit anymore and all of my friends told me they had completely forgotten about me. That was weird. But not the weirdest thing that ever happened to me.

This time, I woke up and was crystal the whole time. Whatever. It's still not the weirdest thing. I've seen some way weirder stuff. And Riku did this crystal thing first.

Anyway, I'm Sora. Don't any of you forget about me!

[After a moment he adds, which a mischevious smile,] Especially you guys who want to.

[Sora makes sure that his hand is easy for Roxas to hold, holding it up for him.]

Well, then... You also seemed to like kissing, right?

[terribletwos]

[ Roxas takes that hand easily enough, half-marveling over how naturally their fingers fit together. Different than other people he's done this with. But that shouldn't be surprising. It's like holding onto another piece of himself.

He scratches at the back of his head with the other hand. ]

I don't know. Like I said, I haven't tried it with anyone other than you.

Then that means if you hated it it's probably just me. [He replies. His tone is teasing, but there is an underlying worry there too. He had no idea how this stuff worked before arriving in this world, and then the moonblessings had prompted him, Riku, and Kairi to run headfirst into exploring it all. It was likely there was a lot he still didn't know.]

You'll have to kiss other people to figure it out.

[terribletwos]

[ He nudges Sora with his elbow. ]

I would have told you if I hated it.

[ He 100% would have. ]

But how do you even bring it up? Most of the time, it just looks like it... happens between people.

[ Like just now with him and Sora. ]

[keythatconnects]

Well... That's true. Most of the time I've kissed people it was something that just happened.

Except maybe Skye. We talked a lot about it first. [He says it thoughtfully before he remembers that Roxas probably doesn't know about Data Sora.]

He was... Well, it's complicated. He was a data version of me. He was here for a while, but he's gone now.

[terribletwos]

[ Roxas' eyes widen. ]

A data version of you? How did that happen?

[keythatconnects]

Well, from what I understand the king needed to figure out something going on with Jimmiy's journal so they made a data version of me?

I... I really don't know how it works. But Skye was pretty nice.

[terribletwos]

What happened to Skye after they figured out the journal? Did he stay in the computer world? Before ending up here, I mean?

[keythatconnects]

Yeah that's what I think anyway. It sounds like he was tested and passed with flying colors. Which, I mean, we all know that was a given. Since he was me.

[He grins in a playful way. He knows passing tests isn't actually his strength, but the way Goofy and Donald made it sound it seemed like this was a test that he would be able to pass.]

[terribletwos]

I wouldn't call it a given...

[ Roxas gives his own teasing smile before pausing again. ]

You said you talked a lot about it before kissing. Did he take a while to adjust to everything here too?

[keythatconnects]

He had a hard time asking for help and he was young too. It was important to me that he was 100% sure what he wanted before anyone did anything to him.

[terribletwos]

[ Yeah, that's not relatable at all to Roxas... ]

That's weird hearing that another version of you had trouble asking for help. Especially after going through all your memories from the journal.

[ Roxas doesn't count, obviously. Though it does make him feel a little less awkward about his own hangups. ]

He got better at it though?

[keythatconnects]

Yeah! He figured out what he liked and he started doing that with people he trusted.

[terribletwos]

I guess that's the real trick to it. Working with the people you trust to figure out what you like.

[ He stares at their closed hands again before squeezing slightly. ]

Maybe I'll stick with that for now.
