"I can't believe summer is almost over. It feels like we've barely done anything." You fall back onto your bed while Roxas tosses away his ice cream stick. During the entirety of the summer break, the two of you hung out every day. There were some moments where you guys hung out with Hayner, Pence and Olette, but it seemed more often that the two of you would end up alone together.

"That's because we've barely done anything." Roxas plopped beside you, staring at your ceiling. He hated how time seemed to just escape him, especially when all he wanted to do was spend his time with you.

"Well smart one, what would you like to do during these last couple of days?" You ask and turn on your side, facing him. Roxas shrugs before turning onto his side as well. The two of you stare at each other in silence, taking one another in. You always admired how blue his eyes were, they were so beautiful and vibrant. Yet they seemed distant at times and it made you wonder what went through his mind. Roxas on the other hand, he adored you entirely. His days are made when they are spent with you.

"I dunno, it's too late for the beach so.." He trailed off in thought, realizing there wasn't much to do since they still had to make time for the stupid school assignment.

"Why don't we just chill and during the evenings we go to the clock tower?" You suggest, earning a nod in agreement from Roxas. He still seemed distant and you frown. This was the second day he seemed off.

"Hey," You sit up slightly, resting on your elbow, "You doing okay?" You ask, snapping Roxas out of his thoughts. He didn't realize he zoned out.

"Yeah, sorry." He smiles, hoping to reassure you. You return the smile and decide not to press the matter any further, knowing there was more than he was letting on. Whatever it was, he wanted to deal with it alone and it was okay. Roxas didn't know how to explain the strange dreams he's been having, so wasn't going to try and bother you about them. If anything, he wished to forget about them and go on with his days normally. The sad thing was, the dreams would never leave his mind. They were always there, messing with him. It really freaking sucked.

"To help get your mind off whatever it's stuck on, why don't we talk about some things that uh..I dunno, stuff we'd like to do in the future or something." You fumble with your idea, smiling sheepishly as you sit up. Roxas joins you, scooting back until he rested against the wall and pulls you between his legs, keeping you close. The gesture made your cheeks darken a shade, but you smile to yourself. Being close to him was the best feeling you could experience.

"Future plans? Maybe scoring myself a lifetime supply of sea salt ice cream? Living by the beach? It all sounds nice." Roxas just spoke what came first, even if it sounded silly.

"Lifetime ice cream? I could see it considering how much you love the stuff." You tease and he pinches your side playfully.

"What can I say? I'm dedicated. Now what about you?"

"Well I don't want lifetime ice cream that's for sure. Call me cheesy or creepy but I'd want to spend the rest of my life with you..I don't want to imagine my life without you in it ya know?" Your face was burning with every word, but you needed to tell him. Now was a better time than any.

Roxas let your words sink in for a moment, really sink in. They were like music to his ears and he hugged you to him tightly.

"You'll always have me, okay?" Roxas kept you close, burying his face into the crook of your neck. All you could do was hum in response and smile like a fool. This boy was your life, he meant everything to you.

Unfortunately for Roxas, this was never meant to be. His happiness would be short lived.

On the last day of Roxas' summer vacation, no one could see him. It was as if he never existed in the first place. He knew it was time to return to Sora, but he wanted to be selfish and see you one last time.

As he watched from a distance, you went on with your day as if nothing ever happened. Hanging out with Olette while Hayner prepared for a Struggle skirmish and Pence did odd jobs for extra munny. It pained Roxas to see them like this, knowing deep down he was erased from their memories.

When Sora arrived in Twilight Town for the last time, that's when he had the chance to meet you. He felt the strangest sensation to hug you, but resisted since you were a complete stranger. There was no denying that you weren't pretty, but still..he didn't know you and it felt like he should of.

"Call me crazy, but I feel like I know you really well." Sora blurted, causing you to look around before realizing it was you he was talking to. The spiky haired boy looked somewhat awkward and confused, but smiled nonetheless.

"I'm sorry but I wasn't around the last time you were here. Though I can admit you give me those same vibes. You remind me of someone I know but can't remember, maybe? Heh, I don't know." You smile sheepishly, noticing the blueness of Sora's eyes and how they remind you of ones you've seen before..you just know you have. What was this feeling?

"Here, take this. I feel like you should have this." Sora reached into his pocket and handed over the blue marble from the munny pouch he received upon first waking up. You look at the marble in your hand before looking at Sora once again.

"Thanks, I'll keep somewhere safe. I appreciate it, really. Though I'd hate to keep you, seems like you guys were on a mission."

Sora glances back at Donald and Goofy, who were patiently waiting while also very confused by this confrontation.

"Yeah, I better go. It was nice to meet you, sorry for the awkward encounter." Sora rubbed the back of his head before waving goodbye and walking towards his friends. He had to admit walking away from you was the hardest thing he's ever had to do. He almost wanted to cry.

You watched them walk away left a heavy feeling in your chest. You wanted to call out to him and make him stay. Just why would you do that someone you didn't know? It was really beyond you, but you were certain that you would cherish the little marble forever. It was a tie to a deep connection you wished to remember one day.
