2nd Floor Common Room - Evening

[key-of-heart.livejournal.com]

Sora was making popsicles. Why? Because he had a mouth fetish to give into Because he just had a craving for them. Filling up the various popsicle holders with juice and stuff that he'd gotten at the store, Sora had covered almost the entire counter.

Now to freeze them.

He glanced at the freezer and then at the popsicles. It seemed just too long to wait.

Sora grinned and pointed at the kitchenette. "DEEP FREEZE!" Instant popsicles, just ignore the icicles hanging from the cabinets.

He grabbed a popsicle and left the other's there for whoever would want one as he plopped himself down in front of the TV.

A portal rose up out of the floor, and a black-clad person stepped through. "Whoops! Wrong floor!" Demyx jumped backward into the portal, but the swirling blackness didn't fade. A moment later, he peered through it again. "Oh! ...Sora?"

[key-of-heart.livejournal.com]

"Hi Demyx," Sora smiled totally not freaked out by the portal. "Want a popsicle?"

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

Demyx stepped out into the room again, the portal disappearing as he did so. "Popsicle?" A pause. "Is it sea-salt?"

[key-of-heart.livejournal.com]

"One of the sets is I think," he smiled.

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"Is it any good?" Demyx asked, looking over at the multitude of popsicles.

[key-of-heart.livejournal.com]

"Of course!!" Sora looked shocked. "You were friends with Roxas and you never tried Sea Salt Ice cream?"

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"You didn't get it from there!" Demyx pointed out. "It might not be the same."

[key-of-heart.livejournal.com]

"Well no, but I think it tastes the same," he smiled and looked back at TV.

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"You're the expert," The Nobody said with a grin, grabbing one of the popsicles and sitting down next to Sora. "So, what's up?"

[key-of-heart.livejournal.com]

"Not much, watching this Searching Nataulis (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266543/) movie" He shrugged with a smile. "You?"

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

".........." Demyx eyed the movie for a few long moments. "...Television is bizarre."

[key-of-heart.livejournal.com]

"I like it!" Sora smiled. "It's really cute."

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"They're fish," Demyx pointed out.

[key-of-heart.livejournal.com]

"So?" Sora blinked. He wasn't getting the problem.

Naminé leaned in the doorway, and then smiled. "Was there a fire monster of some kind, or are the icicles decorative?"

[key-of-heart.livejournal.com]

"Naminé!" Sora grinned and jumped off the couch to hug her and then looked at the counter sheepishly. "Uhh... I wanted to make popsicles?"

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"It's weird." Demyx gnawed on his popsicle, going uncharacteristically quiet.

"...It's almost the end of the term, huh?" he asked after a while.

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

Naminé laughed, reaching out to hug him back. "I hope you succeeded. I'd hate to think you froze everything except the popsicles. I like the ambiance, actually."

[key-of-heart.livejournal.com]

Sora looked at the frozen counter. "Yeah, I need to work on my aim I think. But I did manage to get all the popsicles!"

[key-of-heart.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I guess it is," he smiled and looked over at Demyx. His smile disappeared though a moment. "Demyx? You okay?"

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. It's nothing." Demyx forced a half-grin. "I've been here two years now, did you know that? I graduate soon."

[key-of-heart.livejournal.com]

"Yeah? Does that mean you're leaving?"

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"I don't know," Demyx admitted helplessly. "I'm not there anymore, so it's not like I can go back. I don't think I even still exist anywhere but here." He paused, then added. "I don't want to not exist, Sora."

[key-of-heart.livejournal.com]

Sora could only stare at Demyx.

"You mean you'd just go back to being whole right? You'd be with your other half..."

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"Not me." Demyx shook his head. "You were a special case, Ro-- Sora. Most of us don't have anywhere to go back to."

[key-of-heart.livejournal.com]

Sora knew that, he really did. It just wasn't something that he liked to think about. "I'm sorry Demyx. I wish I could.... I don't know what I wish. I guess for you to not disappear."

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"...I...appreciate it." Demyx smiled slightly, looking down at the floor. "You know, coming here has been really good."

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

"I'd call it a victory, then," she nodded. "Do you usually make your own popsicles? I thought they had some available at your store."

(*headdesk* I thought I hit Post and I didn't, zomg)
