Re: Fate of A Hero
Day 3: Day Off.
"Meeting today?" Akira asked as she watched Axel and Roxas bustling around the room. Axel chuckled.
"No, today's our day off," Roxas replied. Akira cocked her head to the side.
"What do you do on you day off?" Akira asked.
"Whatever," Axel said, leaving the room, leaving Akira and Roxas alone. She slid out of her bed, stretching.
"What are you gonna do?" She asked, yawning. Roxas sat down.
"I don't know...." He said thoughtfully. He looked out the balcony. Akira looked as well.
"Hey, do you guys have any music here?" Akira asked. Roxas looked at her in alarm.
"Music...?" He repeated in a sketchy tone. Akira gaped at him.
"You know, music. Melodies. Rock. Rap." She answered. Roxas stayed blank.
"Wow! Ok, come with me." She set out to find Demyx.
-----
"Ok, Demyx, can I borrow your sitar?"
Demyx, Akira, and Roxas now sat in an empty room. Demyx sipped some sort of energy drink.
"Sure," He said, taking another sip. Akira carefully positioned herself.
"Ok, Rira, I know what music is." Roxas pleaded. Akira gave him the look.
"Yet, you have no idea what rap, rock, pop, classical, indie, al-"
"Ok, ok, I wanna know." Roxas replied, giving up. Akira smiled.
"Ok, now this is rock," Akira started a guitar solo attempt.
-----
Three hours. Three hours trying to teach Roxas what music was, and he finally got it. Demyx made fun of Akira's crappy guitar skills.
"What? I'm just trying to give him the basic idea..." Akira whined. Demyx laughed.
"Of what? Whiney love songs?" He burst laughing. Akira gave him a murderous look.
"Um, well, yeah," Demyx ran away. Akira smiled slyly as Roxas came to join her.
"Ok, now can we do something I like to do?" He demanded. Akira hesitated.
"Ok, that's a yes. C'mon, Axel's coming with us!" He said, grabbing her wrist.
-----
Roxas, Axel and Akira teleported to a clocktower overlooking a city. A beautiful sunset lurked in the horizon. Akira stumbled and landed on Roxas's chest, grabbing him from the arms, almost like a hug. She looked down.
"What if we fall?" She said, breaking free, blushing. Axel laughed.
"Ha ha, you won't. We haven't, so I doubt you will," He said. Akira still wasn't convinced.
"Look," Roxas said gently, grabbing her hand by the fingertips, "I- I mean we, won't let you fall."
Akira blushed and nodded, following him. She sat down in between Axel and Roxas. Axel handed her a blue popsicle.
"Um....what is this?" She asked, staring at it in her hand. Roxas and Axel started eating it.
"Sea salt ice cream," Roxas said, chuckling. Akira carefully brought it to her mouth and licked it. A small sensation of bitter and sweet satisified her taste buds.
"Wow....it's good!" She said, eating it feverishly. Axel burst out laughing as she stopped, blue all over her mouth. She looked at Roxas.
"What's so funny?" She asked, confused. Roxas smiled and giggled.
"You got some ice cream on you," He said, wiping half of it away. Akira blushed and licked the rest off her face.
