A/N: Takes place in the time gap in Dream Drop Distance where Riku is sleeping and Sora's awake.

It'd been so long, Lea began to wonder if Sora was ever going to wake up. Eighteen hours had passed since he, the king, Donald and Goofy had dragged an unconscious Sora and Riku back to the Mysterious Tower. Neither had shown any signs of stirring – Riku, he didn't worry about as much; he hadn't been asleep as long. Plus, Roxas might've been hurt by Sora's condition…

The redhead looked up as he heard Sora groan. The boy was sitting up, looking around groggily. "Welcome back, kid. You had us worried."

Sora stared at him in shock. Lea merely grinned.
