(A/N: Like any other nutty fangirl, I don't own them. If I did, KH would have so much more sex, I mean, meaningful relationships.
This idea came to me while forcing myself to finish playing Kingdom Hearts. I always thought it was weird that I'd be running around the store like a chicken that got it's head chopped off but Cid would just stand there. Dazing off into space. Occasionally rubbing his nose. Not paying any attention to me as I ran in front of him on the counter.)
"Well, if you can't find your friends then I'll take care of you," the shop owner said in a gruff voice. Cid rubbed his index finger under his nose as if the motion emphasized the point he was trying to make. Sora was still feeling quite emo, since he had lost his friends to the Giant, Random-ass Black Vortex from Hell and was plummeted into a different world and all. What had happened to Riku and Kairi and Tidus and Wakka and Selphie? Well. . . he didn't really care what happened to Wakka as much since the blitz-welding psycho was always knocking him unconscious with those damn balls. Or did he really care for Tidus, especially after the "Haha, you're drowning LOLZ" incident. And Selphie always would hit him with that damn jump rope, making lewd comments about how he like to be wiped by Riku.
. . . Actually, now that Sora thought about it, he only really wanted to find Riku and Kairi.
"You ok, kid?"
Sora blinked and came back to reality. Cid was leaning on the counter, looking at him with a mixed expression of concern and amusement.
"Heh heh, yeah, sorry. I was just caught up in thought," Sora laughed, blushing. Cid laughed at him. "Well, consider the offer but visit whenever you want, Sora."
"Ok, thanks!" Sora grinned, then glanced around the shop. Since he came into the store, he hadn't actually looked at anything. Curiosity got the best of him, and the short boy with hair that thought it was time to defy gravity went sprinting around within the small vicinity. After jumping on the couch, the glass table, and the fireplace, he peeked back at Cid. The shop owner seemed completely oblivious to what Sora was doing. He shrugged, maybe he was thinking too.
Or he could be a robot. That'd be cool, Sora thought.
Just then, something caught his attention out of the corner of his eye. A treasure chest on top of a cabinet near the door. Sora side-glanced over at Cid again. The shop owner was still in a default stare, so Sora jumped down from the fireplace and ran across to the cabinet. He jumped up to grab onto the ledge and swung himself up. A little light bulb went off in his head and he summoned his keyblade. He tapped on the chest as if out of intuition, slightly surprised when it opened. He blinked, picking up the item in the chest, which quickly disappeared when he did.
Something told him that what he was holding was a mythril shard, like a little box had suddenly appeared over his head saying, "Obtained MYTHRIL SHARD."
He looked at Cid, who was still vacantly staring off into space. Kinda like a robot, Sora mused to himself. He held up the shard and called out to Cid,
"Hey Cid! Where you aware there's a mythril shard up here?"
Cid seemed to jerk out of the daze he was in and looked over at Sora in bewilderment, like he was standing on top of a giant, yellow chocobo that had a vague resemblance to Cloud.
"Wha-? Sora, how the hell did you get up there? You were down here a second ago!"
"What?"
(A/N: Who am I kidding? Sora wouldn't say "aware". Let's face it girls, the kid doesn't exactly have a SAT vocabulary. The only way he'd get into college would be on a "I Saved the Universe TWICE" scholarship.)
