[Location: Kuoh, Main Street, Convenience Store .]
"Okay, let's recap, all we have so far is: 3 cartons of milk, 2 medium bags of rice, 4 packages of frozen meat, 1 large bag of flour, and 2 full bags of tomato. Is there anything else missing from the list Roxas?" Issei asked as he reviewed the shopping list his mother gave him.
Two days had passed since Roxas had arrived to this world and since he was staying in the guest room of Issei's residence, Issei's parents gladly offered him to stay with them, until he could find another place to stay.
During the first two days, the nobody was indirectly questioned several times by Issei about "inappropriate" stuff, but luckily for the nobody, he didn't understood the subject of the questions, and apart from that he possessed what is known as: 'the virtue of ignorance '.
Implying that he was ignorant of anything related to what the perverted Issei had wanted to imply, the brown-haired boy hugged Roxas and releasing waterfalls of tears from his eyes, he described him as; 'A soul too pure and innocent for this world'. That comment still leaves nobody confused till this day.
While Roxas was staying with them, Issei's parents offered to enroll him in the Kuoh Academy, since according to Roxas's words, he had never been to school. So with the help of an anonymous donor (also known as: 'Issei's savings'), they were able to enroll him in the academy and he would start attending the next day.
The day before entering the academy, Issei's mother, Mrs. Miki Hyoudou, sent the two teenagers to go shopping at a convenience store near the park.
"We still need: 1 box of cereal and 1 package of instant noodles." The nobody replied, holding a bag full of the previously listed items.
Issei and Roxas went to the indicated hallways and took the last requested items.
"Okay that's all on the list, hey mom gave me some extra money so we can buy stuff, I don't want anything, so why don't you go and take something you want to buy, I'll wait for you at the register." Issei said as he took the shopping bags from Roxas and headed towards the cash register, leaving the nobody alone in the store.
The nobody began to wander through the different aisles looking for a 'specific item', but to his misfortune, he did not find what he was looking for. So he decided to take the item that was closest to what he was looking for.
Already having the item in his hands, the blond boy walked towards the cash register, where Issei was waiting for him.
Seeing what his temporary guest had in his hands, Issei grimaced in disgust and made the following comment:
"Eugh! Oh really? A pack of lemon ice cream? *sigh* Anyway let's just pay up and go home."
4 Hours later.
[Location: Kuoh, Issei's house, rooftop.]
Roxas was sitting on the edge of the rooftop, enjoying the sunset while taking a bite of one of the lemon ice creams from the box next to him.
At that moment several memories came to his mind.
He remembered how he used to enjoy watching the sunset with the company of Axel and ????, while the three of them enjoyed a sea salt ice cream, laughing, sharing stories...He also remembered doing the same thing, but in the company of Pence, Heyner and Olette .
"... Never again..." Said the nobody as he took another bite of his ice cream.
It was true, those moments that he shared with those people would never return, just as he could never meet those people again.
Axel was gone...Pence, Heyner and Olette would have no idea about their friendship with him or even about his existence...and, he couldn't keep the promise he made to ????.
Before he could fulfill his promise, Riku had captured him and with the help of DiZ forced him to return to Sora, who was denying his existence because of Donald and Goofy, who called any mention or hint of his existence 'a trick to confuse or deceive Sora'. In the end it was Sora who destroyed the artificial Kingdom Hearts and it was also Sora who was responsible for defeating Organization 13th, making him unable to fulfill his promise.
Roxas no longer had anything, all his friendships ceased to exist, the only purpose he had was denied to him by others, he realized that he no longer had any reason to continue existing.
A tear flowed from the nobody's cold and expressionless eye, running down his left cheek, while he tried to make sense of that emptiness he felt deep in his chest.
"Hey"
His thoughts were interrupted by the familiar voice of a certain perverted teenager, who walked up next to him.
"I always see you up here, watching the sunset every day, so I decided to keep you company." Issei commented, sitting next to the nobody while he took one of the lemon ice creams from the box and took a bite.
"Ugh! It is sour but at the same time sweet, it tastes strange, but at the same time it tastes good, it is difficult to explain." The teenager commented as he tried to enjoy the sour and sweet flavor of the ice cream.
"..." Roxas just kept watching the sunset, not even looking at Issei's face.
"Uh...It's a pretty sight, don't you think?" Said Issei trying to break the awkward silence. "Look, I just wanted to see how you were, since you arrived, I have noticed that you are somewhat lonely."
"..."
Issei comically sweat drop at the blonde boy's silence, but without much caring, he continued to keep him company as the sun went down.
"Did you know? I already decided" Issei suddenly said standing up and pointing a finger at Roxas. "I Hyoudou Issei, have decided that from today, I will officially be your first friend in Kuoh!"
The nobody stared at the perverted teenager for a few seconds and without expressing any emotion, he asked almost whispering. "…Friends?…"
"Yep, from today I will be your friend! Whether you want to or not!" Issei replied dramatically, before withdrawing and entering the house.
Roxas continued watching the sunset, while he analyzed Issei's words. "…Friends….it's been a long time…since I've heard that word…"
The nobody diverted his gaze from the sunset in the direction of the roof door through which Issei had entered.
"…Thank you, Issei…"
The sun finished setting and Roxas got up and went into the house, looking forward to his first day of school tomorrow.

[AUTHOR'S NOTES.]
Before I finish this intermission chapter, I would like to answer and clarify certain things related to the fic.
1-Data-Roxas preserves the memories of the original Roxas, which only cover the events of KH 358/2 Days and the events of KH 2, so Roxas will have no memory or knowledge related to later installments.
2-Roxas did not have other clothes under the uniform/coat of Organization 13th, since being a data version of Sora's nobody and being the guardian of the digital Castle Oblivion, there was no need for him to have other clothing.
[REPLIES TO COMMENTS.]
-Responding to keybladelight:
1-The events of this story will have no relation to Kingdom Hearts 4.
2-Maybe Roxas is in the unreality…but the question is... which unreality? ;)
-Responding to Nehz XZX
1-Data-Roxas's "heart" is just as developed as that of the real Roxas, the only difference being, is that it weakened a bit when he was sent to the world of Highschool DxD, temporarily losing some abilities such as: Dual wielding and light attacks (aka -the columns and orbs of light that he casts during his boss fight in KH2).
2-Data-Roxas, after being turned into a physical being, automatically has a real keyblade, regardless of the fact that he was originally a digital being.
3-Roxas has memories of Namine, but she is not relevant in this story.
4-The Master of Masters has no plan related to that world, he simply gave Roxas the opportunity to belong somewhere. Other than that, he did it out of boredom.
