Now it seems strange
How we used to wait for letters to arrive
But what's stranger still
Is how something so small can keep you alive

action; after Elize's dissappearance

[shadowsthedawn]

[Riku hadn't gotten to know Elize very well, having only hung out with her a couple of times, but he had liked her. She had always been kind to him and had helped him with shopping for winter clothes. He's very sorry to see her go...again. But he knows without a doubt that Roxas is taking it hard. The few times he's seen the blond since he heard the news he had been even quieter than usual with an expression like someone had kicked his cat.

He doesn't know a lot about comforting people, not unless those people are Sora or Kairi, but Riku figures that it can't hurt to do something nice for the other teen while he's down. Which is what brings him to standing outside of Roxas' door, a plated sandwich in one hand and a glass of milk in another. Who doesn't feel better with some food?]

Roxas?

[seasaltkeys]

[Roxas has been taking it hard. He really should have been expecting this but he thought that maybe, just maybe, he could have a little hope. Guess the universe really wanted Roxas to hate it.

He's kept to himself as a result, hiding in his room and taking a few days off of work. He's back to not knowing what to feel. Sad? Angry? A mix of everything? It's difficult to say the least.

He doesn't expect the knock, or Riku's voice on the other side.]

Yeah?

[shadowsthedawn]

I'm coming in.

[That's all the warning he gets before Riku is opening the door and sliding inside, pulling the door shut behind him. The last thing either one of them needs is Sora hearing them talk and think that he should be invited in too. He loves his friend, but there are just times when his overwhelming optimism can do more harm than good.]

I brought you something to eat.

[He stands awkwardly for a moment, plate and glass in hand. Now that he's here he's wondering if this was a stupid idea.]

[seasaltkeys]

[Roxas looks up when Riku says that, his surprise mounting. He's really not sure what to make of this, considering that he's typically kept his distance from Riku due to their past. It doesn't seem like him to bring Roxas a sandwich.

Though when he sees it, his stomach growls. How long had it been since he last ate?]

Uh...thanks.

[He'll sit up a little more to take the plate.]

Why?
