A/N: The weird thing is, all of my chapters have been just over 2000 words. Usually I'm hard pressed for 1000. I could split all of these chapters up and make it last longer (at this rate, it'll only last six chappys)
As lunch time rolled around, everyone finally got out of the water and quickly dried off, changing into normal clothes and heading up to the town to eat. After mulling over where to eat for a while, Sora finally grabbed Roxas' wrist and dragged him over to a café. The others glanced at each other then shrugged, following happily.
The day went by in a blur. Roxas couldn't remember the last time he'd had so much fun, just hanging out with some friends and messing around. He found himself relaxing to an extent that he hadn't done for a while, and Sora seemed to relax as well when he realised Roxas was properly enjoying himself and not just acting to make him happy.
Once they'd eaten, they headed round the shops at the girls' insistance, looking at clothes (the girls) and games (the boys). Sora wanted to buy pretty much everything, and it was only because Roxas had the munny that Sora didn't.
They went back to the beach for a while, keeping out of the water a bit except to wade. After a while of just relaxing, they finally caught a train back home. When it arrived back home, the group got off, waving to each other as they headed off in different directions.
As Sora skipped alongside Roxas, the blonde couldn't help but smile. He'd really enjoyed today. Much more than he'd enjoyed anything for a while.
Sora glanced at him, poking him, and he glanced over. Sora made a vague hand signal; he and Roxas had come up with several to help Sora get across what he was trying to say.
Roxas frowned as he tried to remember what this one was, then smiled as he remembered. He looked at Sora, nodding.
"Yep. I'm happy."
Sora tilted his head, and Roxas gave a faint chuckle before ruffling his hair.
"I dunno why, Sora. I just am. Could you explain why you feel happy?"
Sora considered, then shook his head, and Roxas shrugged.
"See? It's just...something you feel sometimes."
Sora made another hand gesture, and Roxas briefly searched his memory before his smile faded. He stopped walking, hugging himself, and Sora stopped too. His face was apologetic, and he made the hand gesture for 'sorry' over and over.
"I-It's okay Sor. Yeah...there are still the nightmares."
Sora still looked pretty upset, so Roxas gave a vague smile and ruffled his hair.
"C'mon, should we order take out? I let you choose," he offered. Sora knew that it was just a diversion, but he eagerly went along with it, smiling brightly and nodding happily before skipping down the street ahead of him. Roxas shook his head before jogging to catch up with him.
A/N: Fluggerkipple! I'm sorry about the short chapter, guys! I was just rereading this document, and it turns out I have this bit called 'part 2', which means new chapter for new POV. Really sorry!
