Walking down the sunlit streets of Twilight Town, a young man with blue eyes bops his head to a song. "Reaching foooor the lights..." His arms move a bit, his steps bouncing a bit as he listens to the song currently coming out of his headphones, connected to a phone in his pocket. "Hitsuyou nantenai, karaaa..." Grinning, he pauses a bit to actually dance on the sidewalk, not caring who may see him from any of the angles here.
Resuming his walk, he mouths the lyrics more as he reaches a corner, but stops as he almost bumps into someone. "Oh, sorry!" The blond steps to his right, letting the black-haired girl pass by. His music keeps going, the song restarting since he wanted to memorize this one today.
"That's alright. Have a good one." Two pairs of blue eyes pass each other as they hear his song go. "Sorerashii ketoba dake narabenaide." She quietly sings, the boy blinking a bit before thinking she had good taste in music too. His thoughts were echoed in the now giggling girl as she keeps on her way.
Roxas slips off his shoes as he walks into his home, turning his music off and bringing the headphones down. "Hey! I'm home!" He looks around, not seeing... oh, wait, there was his dad. Napping on the couch, as usual. Well, at least he wasn't in uniform this time. "Dad. Dad, wake up. You know mom'll get on you if you sleep here again."
The man with slightly shorter blond hair waves a sleepy hand. "Nngh... five more minutes." Roxas glances at the digital clock nearby. Dinner would be in about three hours.
"Mom's gonna be home in five minutes."
"WHAT?!" Ventus shoots up, looking around. "Ah, dangit, and I still gotta... gotta..." He starts to fall back to the couch.
"Whoa there! Come on, you." Roxas grins a bit as he helps his dad up. "Age finally catching up to you?"
"I'm not that old! Hmph!" Ventus looks down his nose a bit at his slightly taller son before chuckling. "So, when is she actually gonna be home?" He looks to the clock himself. "I still have an hour or so."
"Should probably shower still. You know she's gonna be a little miffed if you don't." Roxas sets about fluffing the pillows his dad had deformed with his head. His dad sighs a bit, agreeing before heading to the master bedroom on the first floor. The college student himself goes upstairs, aiming to reapply some deodorant before dinner.
Xion hums to herself as she walks into her home. "A reason to be there~"
Her sister looks over from the living room, headphones on so that her video game didn't send gunshots and profanity and military jargon through the apartment. "What's up?"
"Nothing, Namine. Hi, Namine. Mom or dad home?"
"Grocery shopping, still at work. Oh! You want pizza or pasta for dinner?"
"Yes."
"Pizza it is! ...right after I get in one las-dangit!" Having died, the blonde in a white dress and shorts picks up her phone to text her mother about Xion's answer to the question posed to her ten minutes ago. Namine drops the phone and readjusts her headset before focusing again.
Xion watches for a moment before losing interest in the soundless action. Heading to her room, the college dropout gingerly steps around some drawings that had managed to fall off Namine's side of the wall again. Pulling out her laptop from its charging 'station' under her bed, she starts to browse for some online jobs that would be easily done over the weekend.
"Roxas! Ven! I'm home!"
"Welcome back, mom!" Roxas starts walking downstairs, smiling a bit at the blue-haired woman who was dropping her hat and coat at the door. "Good day on the job?"
"Quiet day on patrol. Not sure how much I like them, no matter how much Terra thinks they're the best." The two share a hug before Aqua looks down to Roxas. "Your father awake?"
"Last I checked, no. But he should be in your room."
"Well, that's good at least." Aqua separates from her son to go to the master bedroom.
Roxas leans a bit over, a hand up to his ear as he waits for th-"COLD!" And that was his mom waking dad up. Roxas chuckles a bit as he heads to the kitchen. It was his turn to make dinner, and they'd agreed that it was steaks with rice tonight. Speaking of, in the cooker... looking good.
"Mmm~ Are we sure he's our son, Aqua? We weren't nearly as good at cooking at his age."
"Maybe you weren't. But I remember putting together a rather nice spread one date night."
Ventus grasps his chest, feigning pain as he falls into his chair. The table had been set for an hour, the silverware brought over ten minutes ago. "So cruel..."
"Who wants what?"
"Water."
"Do we have any daiquiri mix left?"
Roxas and Ventus look to Aqua, surprised at the question. "What? I'm off tomorrow, and I want to have a bit of fun tonight. Strawberry daiquiris are fun." She crosses her arms, daring them to refute her logic.
"...one bottle of water and one glass of daiquiri, coming up." For himself, Roxas got some lemonade. They'd all sworn off soda a long time ago, and they all felt better for it.
Xion gulps a bit as she watches her mother look at her dad. "...what do you mean he wants you to go out for drinks, Sora?"
"Riku wants to go out for drinks with me, Kairi. I don't know why this is such a big deal." The brunet slips off his tie as he and his wife head for their bedroom.
"It IS a big deal when he's changed since we graduated college. He flirted with Namine AFTER WE INTRODUCED HER TO HIM! What good childhood friend flirts with your teenage daughter minutes after they say hi? None!" Kairi was listing off the multitude of ways this was a bad idea to Sora as they closed the door. Xion looks to Namine, the two sisters confused a bit.
"But, family dinner night was Dad's idea..."
"And watching movies during it was his idea too."
"...to mention, the scandals that come out of his new employer. Even their name is shady! What kind of workplace is this Organization of his?!" Kairi grasps her more casually dressed husband by the shoulders. "Stay. Have some good pizza with us."
"Kairi, I can't! This is going to help me get higher up in the company, and it'll be good for us! Trust me." He kisses her nose, an action that calms the fiery beast that was the red-haired mother of two. "It'll be harmless."
But her face becomes stern again quickly. "Not one drop of alcohol, Sora. Not even a shot of anything."
"That, I can promise wholeheartedly. You know what happened the last time we got drunk." Unseen by their daughters, Kairi's eyes darted to a family picture hanging on the wall.
"Which is why-"
"Which isn't going to happen again. I'm my own designated driver, you've told me that enough times, Kairi." The two share a quick kiss before Sora waves to his girls. "Bye Xion, Namine! I'll be back later!"
As the door closes and locks, Kairi sighs before turning to them. "Well, guess we aren't seeing Pacific Rim: Uprising tonight. Who's up for something a little older? Like Getter Robo?"
"DIBS ON THE BEAM!"
"DIBS ON THE CHANGE!"
The redhead laughs a bit as she goes to pop the pizza into the preheated oven. "Okay, okay. You two find where we put that DVD."
