Chapter 5: Return

'Jezz' Roxas thought to himself as he watched Sora sleep.

'How long is he planning on sleeping? It's so boring here.'

It had been almost an hour now since they got home and all Roxas was having a hard time trying to come up with an excess when Sora's mom got home.

"What am I going to- Wha-!" Roxas yelped as someone grabbed his arm and pulled him down to the floor.

He looked over to see Sora hold onto his shirt sleeve. He was smiling a little (most likely dreaming) and began mumbling something in his sleep.

Roxas listened closely and could only make out a few words.

"Please… please don't us leave again." he mumbled in his sleep.

Roxas began to worry when he notice Sora tighten his grip on the sleeve of his shirt. Then Roxas looked closer at him and saw that he was fighting to hold back tears.

At this point Roxas couldn't stand watch the all-mighty key blade wielder look so scared and hurt.

He gently placed his arms on Sora's shoulders and began shaking him awake. "Ow!" Roxas yelped as Soras' fist made contact with his face, forcing him to let go of said boy's shoulders.

"What was that for?" Roxas asked with his hand resting on the side of his head where Sora had hit him.

He looked down with a confused and angry look in his eyes. He then gasped when he saw Sora now curled into a ball sobbing. "Come back!" he shouted as his eyes sprang open.

Sora looked around with mixture of shock and confusion in his expression as he looked up at Roxas. He still had his hand on the side of his head.

"What happened to you?" Sora asked with a humored tone in his voice.

His smile soon faded when Roxas put his hand down to reveal a large red mark.

Sora just sat there and stared until Roxas broke the silence. "What happened to me!?" he exclaimed. "You punched me when I tried to wake you up!" the nobody replied.

Sora was now totally confused as he put a figure on his chin to think. Then he felt his face was soggy and realized he had been crying.

As he wiped his face with his sleeve Roxas felt completely lost as well. "What were you dreaming about that made you freak?" he asked.

"Huh?" Sora replied. "You grabbed onto my shirt and you were mumbling 'please don't leave us again'." Roxas explained to the now further lost Sora. "Then when I tried to wake you up you clabbered me!" he exclaimed pointing to then red, beginning to swell, mark on his face.

"oh." replied solemnly. "Sorry, I have no idea what it could have been. I can't remember my dream, but…I do remember feeling really weird." he looked at his feet.

Roxas looked at him with sympathetic eyes. He had never seen Sora like this before; I don't think anyone has.

"Don't worry about it, if you do remember just tell me…okay?" He told Sora as he sat down next to him and patted said boys back in a comforting way.

"I think the least I could do now is get you some ice for your face. It's starting to swell." Sora said putting on his trademark grin and disappeared into the kitchen.

Roxas just sat there thinking about what Sora had said in his dream. 'I guess I could ask Namine. She has been in Soras' mind before.' he thought until something extremely cold snapped him out it.

"Ah! Wha-?" he spat out as he looked up to see Sora standing over him grinning.

Roxas could see out of the corner of his eye an ice pack that Sora was holding against his face.

"This is what mom uses when I get hit." Sora told him. "It should help the swelling and I found some cream you could put on it for the pain." he continued, still smiling.

Looking at him Roxas couldn't help but smile back at him. "Thanks" was all he could think to say. 'How does he always do that?' Roxas wondered as Sora sat down next to him and handed him the cream.

'No matter what happens how does hw always make everyone around him smile?' Roxas continued to wonder.

Few hours later…

Sora and Roxas were in Sora's room trying to find an outfit for Sora to wear to the party. They figured wait until after the party to worry about the current situation.

'Bang!!!' a loud crash rang through the house as the door burst open.

"What…whose there?" Sora and Roxas demanded as they came running down the stairs to the front door.

What they saw made them stop in their tracks as the two just stood and stared at the figure in the door way. "Ri-riku… what are you doing here?" Sora asked still in shock.

"What am I doing here!?" he asked furiously, which made Sora take a step back. "I was worried sick when you didn't meet outside of school. If Tidus hadn't told me you left I don't know what I would have done!" he yelled at the now guilt filled brunet.

"I-I'm s-s-sorry …Riku." he said in a quiet voice. Roxas hated when Sora felt guilty for something that really wasn't his fault. Looking at Sora's sad face made him snap when he saw Sora was trying to hold back tears.

"Don't yell at him for something he didn't do!!" Roxas exclaimed as he held out his arms and stood in front of the surprise, but still hurt boy. "He wasn't feeling well; what was he supposed to do? Go running all around school on the verge of passing out again looking for you!? The blonde boy said as he walked up to the even more surprised Riku.

"R-roxas?" Riku said with surprise and confusion. He had not noticed Roxas standing there until now.

"You're being really unfair ya know that. Sora has been worried about how you would react and all you can do is yell at him?" he looked at Riku scowling.

"Don't worry… Roxas" Sora said now standing right behind his other, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Sora…" was all he could say before he looked at Sora smiling. Roxas felt all his angry disappear in that smile. He looked over at Riku who also seemed to calm down.

'Looks like he's done it again' Roxas sighed and followed Sora into the living room. He heard the door close behind them and Riku's feet thud against the wood floor as he followed the two.
