The Chasers: The Key to Memories Past

[Rikugurl]

The dinner table was still silent until there was a soft sound of a bell. It was actually Olette hitting her fork on her glass cup to grab their attention. "Alright everyone. Sad faces have already happened right? We already grieved and now it's time for us to move on. This is Christmas and it's the time of year we give gifts to those who we love. Let's gather our strength that we have built by moving on and focus it on Tensai."

She placed her fork down and slowly reached out, grabbing the people next to her hand's and squeezing them tightly. Namine smiled, taking the hands of those sitting next to her as well, closer her eyes.

Oddly enough, the whole table did it, Kadaj and Samael not to sure what they were doing but did so anyway. Besides, Sammy liked holding Lucina's hand when he got the chance.


Fuu walked in after her wife, her eye catching the color of it's own self. Red. Worried, she hurried over and knelt down, taking her son's hands. "Tensai..." She said softly before looking around, grabbing one of Roxel's shirts that was on his bed and suddenly ripping it before wrapping it around his hands.

[Reno]

It didn't take much convincing for everyone to hold hands - despite the fact Kadaj was raising an eyebrow and Sammy just looked a little lost but happy anyways.

Everyone else though knew what Olette was trying to do. They were trying to give Tensai strength now. To give him courage to keep going on in life and to stay strong despite all the pain he had gone through.


Tensai blinked his eyes widening some as his mom started to rip up one of his friend's shirt. "Uh Mom, really it's not that bad..." He said softly, but she didn't seem to be hearing him as she wrapped up the little cuts. The boy blushed looking at the ground. It was... definitely different having mothers. They were more worrisome and sentimental... and caring. He was pretty sure the closest he would of gotten that from his dad's would be Sora.

[Rikugurl]

"HEY! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY SHIRT!?"

Roxel cried as he saw his shirt ripped to shreds. His large moomba plush hit the ground along with some other gifts as he picked up his shirt, well what was left of it, and frowned. "Who the hell did this?" He looked up, seeing Tensai look out the window. The redhead stomped over, his angry look he got from Roxas all over his face before he looked down, seeing Tensai's hands wrapped up with the rest of his shirt.

"O-oh..." With a sigh, the shirt hit the trashcan and he crossed his arms as he looked out the window, seeing the world they had spent the evening on get smaller and smaller. "Hasn't anyone heard of a bandage before?"
He was waiting for an answer...but it never came. Green and blue eyes looked over, seeing that Tensai was deep in thought. Maybe he was excited with all the gifts he got! That was totally something to be deep in thought about.

"So...uh....what was your favorite gift!?" He held out his hand to show off his new ring. It was a moonstone, pale in color but in the middle was a mix of green and blue.


"AH! No fair, Sammy! You always win this game...you must be cheating..." A woman slouched in her seat as she pouted, showing her hand of cards.
"Love, 45"
Another woman spoke as she wrote down the total before grabbing all the brand new cards and started to shuffle them up again.

The strawberry blonde woman looked up, seeing her leader and captain working on the controls. "So...why are we going to Atteris again, Lucina? So it won't disappear again? I mean...didn't you stop by when you dropped me off a few months ago?"
"Sammy got all uppity up bouts it so now we got to go drop everything and check it out." The bunny woman frowned as she passed out the cards again.


The door opened, steam rolling out of the room that was connected to another. A strong, muscular and slightly pale body walked out, a towel around his waist and neck as he dried his hair off. Mako eyes looked out through his wet hair that fell onto his face, seeing a silverette in bed fiddling with something he had gotten for Christmas.

A small grin ran over his lips before he walked over to the other, his hand reaching out so his fingers ran through the silver hair.

[Reno]

The stars sparkled beautifully - some were suns, some were planets, some were entire galaxies. The beauty of space was so often incorrectly given horrible turned - like cold, dark, endless, lost...

Those are the people who have never experienced what it is like to be in a ship. To sail through this airless void - to see world by world pass by, cosmos and space halos and star clusters and comets and meteor showers... dangerous yet beautiful in every way. And this... this sight was one of the best to come back to after a hard day, after a fight with a friend, after a near-death experience on a mission...

"So...uh....what was your favorite gift!?"

Or maybe it was something good to look at when you know what you're about to do next won't be beautiful at all.

"Xel..." Tensai said softly, turning his head to look at his best friend, using the nickname he had given him long ago so he would be 'unique' from his father. This was going to be one of the hardest things he'd ever done. He never liked hurting people - whether they be friends or strangers - unless they truly deserved it. "We... we need to talk."

Out of all the conversational starters in the world - there were none more forbidding than that one. Those were the most common when girlfriends and boyfriends were breaking up. When dads and mom were dealing children about death. When friends... were about to get into a huge fight.

He swallowed nervously. Maybe... he shouldn't do this on Christmas...

But, there was no better time than the present, right?


Lucina chuckled as she listened to Bonnie lose once AGAIN at a game that - for someone with the stance of 'Tricks of the Trade' - should be VERY GOOD AT.

At the questions and comments she heard however about their destination however, the woman became a little more serious. "We're not 'dropping everything'. And we're going not just because of Sam. We're getting a strange signal from the world that Aqua's team and ours was unable to identify and - considering that was our late leader's old hometown and the birthing place of a very dark race - we MIGHT want to make it priority. You know, just in case - 'course if you guys are completely OKAY with rampant darkness I guess we can all just go and have a picnic on Sunset hill and talk about the weather."


Mako eyes glowed sharply as his forehead creased, his thin but youthful hands grasping an interesting contraption. It was a wooden square made of different colored wood. He turned it over and suddenly the square fell apart into about 24 triangles. It was a puzzle of sorts. It's biggest flaw was the different colored pieces - it made it too simple. As long as one could remember where the colors piece was on the outside.

He placed down the stand, slowly started to put the puzzle back together. He heard Gunnar come into the room, but seeing as he was previously engaged he made no acknowledgment of the other. That was until he felt a hand running through his hair. His eyes darted up to the other male's face, seeing the almost lecherous expression. He couldn't help but smile back - Gunnar was contagious.

"Mmm, need something?" He asked.

[Rikugurl]

The teen had a large grin on his face as he looked at Tensai, waiting for him to tell him what was his favorite and why. Tensai was much more deeper about---

His grin deflated as he heard his nickname...knowing that there was something wrong with the tone of it. His hand slowly fell, the ring forgotten as the orange eyes looked at him.

"We... we need to talk."

"THAT'S the sentence you never want to hear." Axel nodded as he sat his son down on his bed.
"Why? What's wrong with talking?"
"N-nothing but.... when you talk to someone and that's their first sentence, you know it's not going to be good news. Unless...you know... it's some chick telling you she's pregnant... but if you LIKE her, that great!"

Roxel rose an eyebrow and placed his hands on his hips. "You're not.......pregnant are you....?"


Namine frowned as she looked down at the table. "Boy, I hope it's not an Atteris that has survived and is mean! That would be scary."
"It's probably bugger all so I'd take the bloody picnic." Bonnie continued to hand out cards to Namine and Sammy, in which didn't seem to be very happy about her opinion.
"Sides, Gen 1 already took a dekko at it, why should we? Said they found bugger."

Samael took his cards, pulling them up so no one could see before looking at them. As Bonnie started to talk though, her rose a blonde eyebrow. Why would they find buggers on Atteris....?


Mako eyes flashed as he came closer, his hands cupping Kadaj's face before pulling their lips close. "Mmmm, maybe..." He smiled more before pressing his lips on the others before a hot tongue ran over the soft tissue.

[Reno]

Now... he had known Roxel a long time. So long in fact, nothing he said should of surprised him.

"You're not.......pregnant are you....?"

But he was wrong. Wrong, wrong, WRONG!

"WHAT?!" Tensai spluttered out, his eyes widening to a comical effect as his jaw dropped open. He could not believe what he had just heard. He laughed some, "Roxel I'M A BOY and, less importantly, A VIRGIN! I CAN'T get pregnant!"

He chuckled, rapping his knuckles on his friend's temple. "Where does this brain of yours come up with this stuff?"


Lucina just sighed at their words, shaking her head. She REALLY doubted it was another Atterian... that seemed highly unlikely. If there was they would of run into it by now.

"We're ALL going." She stressed. "Because you know that's sort of our job. To answer the signals. To make sure all is okay with every world, even the desolute ones."

Honestly, it was times like these she wished Terra and Ven were still around - Terra would come onto this ship, yell everyone into oblivion, then Ven would take over with one of his slightly scary yet optimistic speeches (the whole 'do this in this way or we all die' sort of thing). She sometimes felt like she was struggling to make everyone understand why certain things no matter how tedious or annoying, were important.


Lecherous indeed.

Glowing eyes slowly closed as lips met. This was something he had picked up with great and quick intensity. Kissing. Having sex. There was something about it that thrilled him - not just the physical sensations... but others he couldn't readily identify.

He wrapped his arms around the brunette's neck, tugging him onto the bed as their tongues battled for dominance.

[Rikugurl]

Roxel's eyes went wide as he saw how wide Tensai' jaw opened...and couldn't help but laugh. Where did he learn how to open his jaw that big!? IT WAS AWESOME!

"H-HEY!" He yelped but continued to laugh as he was pulled closer and his temples were rubbed harshly. "I don't know! Ask my dads!" He wondered if the Nobody they had put their heart into was as dense as his redheaded father.

He pulled away and fell onto his bed. "Alright...so...what is it?" He asked, seeing Tensai grow some conflict before Roxel heard a familiar tone suddenly playing.
Tensai's cellphone.
That was....weird. Maybe it was his dad checking up on him...or one of Tensai's mothers.

He reached out and grabbed the phone, sticking his tongue out as he got it before Tensai and looked at the caller ID.
"Oh ho ho~~ Look who it is~~~" He grinned as he looked up at Tensai. "It's Vanille~ You gave her your phone number?"


Bonnie and Namine shared a sigh as they heard Lucina. Talk about a waist of time and a scary one at that!
They played another round of cards in silence before---
"SAMMY!?"
"OI! That's it, I can't be fagged with this anymore....I'm zonked." She laid down her cards before standing, heading out of the room and down the hall.

Sammy watched her before carefully collecting all the cards and placing them back in the box.
"So, what do you think is down there, Luci?" Namine turned to her leader again, yawning softly.


An evil chuckle came from between their lips as Gunnar was pulled onto the bed, hovering over the silverette. His tongue drove in deeper, his eyes closing as he felt and tasted every part of the other's mouth.

This was harder for him to grasp... though he wanted to, liked to, knew it was healthy and was a normal part of a relationship but there was still that reminder that this was the exact same MAN who had saved him when he was just a CHILD.

Was their...something wrong with him....?

He shook it off as his drying fingers ran up, finding the zipper to Kadaji's top and slowly pulled it down before his finger ventured under, feeling the pale skin under his pads of flesh. He moved his hand down more, forcing the zipper to unzip even further until he reached the other's waist.

He pulled away from the deep kiss, panting softly as he shifted, his lips encasing the pale flesh on the other's neck, licking his more sensitive spots harder.

[Reno]

Tensai shook his head and smiled - he should of known. It was ALL Axel's fault (or which Roxas would always say so). Sometimes he couldn't believe how silly his friend was...

His smile fell though when the other brought back up their previous topic of conversation. Oh, right. This was important. No time to be silly. "Well I uh-" He started to say, but suddenly he heard a familiar ringing.
His ring tone.

The chorus called out in a colorful and upbeat tone.

♪Let's dance! What a weekend,
What the night is all about!
Let's dance!
Grab your girlfriends, Grab your boyfriends
Sweat it out, Let's dance!
To the number one girl to make her go crazy
I need someone to dance with me baby!♪

He didn't have time to enjoy one of his favorite songs however as he tried to reach for the phone before his friend only to have to snatched just barely away from his grasp, roxel teasing him.

"No!" Tensai yelped, grabbing his phone, blushing. "You know I can't write numbers..." He looked down at the caller ID. Vanille... how had she gotten his number?
And how could someone have such bad timing?!

He swallowed just staring at the ringing phone - it wasn't until Roxel - bouncing in excitement on the bed - chirped for him to answer it already that he thought to open it. "H-Hello?" He asked tentatively, raising it to his ear.


Lucina couldn't stop a smile from coming to her face as she heard the girls' incredulous yells as they once AGAIN lost a card hand. She was glad they weren't gambling back there - not like it would of mattered. The majority of profits people made went to the ship, missions, and necessities.

She sighed some as Bonnie left but glanced back at Namine at the question. She was always the most timid about things. "Honestly?" She glanced at the monitor again. "Well... you remember those stories the others used to tell us about dead keyblades? How there have been times when keyblade's power were sucked out and the blade turns black?" She heard Namine answer an affirmative. Though they didn't weild the blades themseleves they naturally had a lot of intamite knowledge regarding them.

"Well, worlds... seem to mimic the people who inhabit them in some ways right? Like Wonderland or Midgar. So, I'm thinking maybe there is a Keyblade that fell there... but maybe the world sucked it's power out. That might be why were getting a signal but no reading, and why Aqua and Roxas couldn't feel one."


He was not sure if it was just because of the Mako influence or everyone experienced such foreplay this way, but Kadaj always noted just how strongly his body responded to things. His cheeks for example always got warmer and his toes and fingers would curl at certain touches.

It was really strange - not unpleasant, just strange.

The noise of his zipper being pulled down sounded loud to his sensitive ears but he hardly noted it because soon he felt warm hands ghosting along his skin, the mixing temperatures making goosebumps rise all along his skin and a shudder run through his body. He was so distracted by the other's hands he paused in the kiss. They had done this plenty of times of course, but each time he was still struck by the sensations. The bedroom was one of the few places he felt things strongly.

Luckily Gunnar did not notice his pause, breaking the kiss. Kadaj breathed heavily his eyes opening some. He got a glimpse of the brunette hair before it tugged down and - oh, oooh!

His breath hitched as moist lips fell onto his neck, trembling again. "Nnn...." He groaned softly, his head falling back to urge the other to continue. Gunnar was an incredible people studier - so much better than him. He knew exactly where he liked to be touched or kissed or bit. "A-ah..." He groaned again, curling his fingers in the other's hair, body twitching against the hands still hovering at his waist.

[Rikugurl]

The phone was taken out of the boy's hand and just...stared at. Blue and green eyes rolled as he started to bounce on the springy bed. "Come on! Answer it already!" He laughed but quieted down when Tensai did.

"Ten-chan!? Is that you~?" A girl on the other end called, sounding like she could hardly hear with all the noise in the background.
"Hold on!"

The orange redheaded girl pushed through the crowd backstage, looking for a quieter spot before pushing herself into an unused room. She closed the door behind her before hurrying to an empty chair.
"Sorry about that! It's a zoo in here..."
She blushed softly before biting her lip. "I'm sorry... I got your cell number from Phil. I just....really wanted to talk to you more. So, how was your Christmas!?"


Namine nodded as she listened to Lucina's ideas. It was rare for a world to suck up the power of a keyblade, especially all by itself. They had only bumped into it once. Being Atteris though, she wouldn't be shocked if the world was as cruel as the ones who once lived there.

She glance over and blinked as she saw Sammy shake his head. "Huh? No? You don't think that's what's wrong?"
The blonde continued to shake his head as he placed the cards to the side.
"Well...what do you think it is?"
The blonde looked at the table blankly for a few minutes before slowly signing.
'She's calling.'

"She's.....calling? Who?"
'Terra's mother.'
Namine blinked as tilted her head. "Huh? But she's dead. She died a long time ago, Sammy."
'She's sad.'
"Well if I was dead, I'd be sad too~"


The strongest muscle in Gunnar's body continued to press hard on the other's flesh in places he knew he could get a response from. Nipping as the slowly exposed shoulders and licking deep between Kadaj's neck bone as his hands continued to run down further. His fingers ghost the other's pelvic as he pulled away, his tongue running up the silverette's jaw. "You like that, baby....?"

Their lips pressed against each other once more, bringing them into a deep kiss as a thumb rolled over the pelvic bone below.

The kiss was broken again before sharp Mako eyes looked down into the other before a grin broke out. Strong hands wrapped around the thin waist and suddenly they switched positions so Kadaj was now sitting on his lower abs.
The towel for his hair was flung onto the ground as the one around his waist shifted, his erect member exposed behind the silverette.

"Mmmmnnnn~~" He hummed as he felt the cold air around his member before he roughly pulled the silverette's outfit down his body, exposing that beautiful skin to the air.

[Reno]

Phil.
That explained a lot.

His eyes narrowed in anger - not at the women on the phone but at his so called manger. Had it been Roxel's she had asked for Phil would have done as he was meant to when he was trusted with that information - kept it confidential. In fact, he knew he did because he knew thousands of girls a day probably pestered that bastard for Roxel's number.

He was going to kick. His. Ass!

Before he could get any more infuriated, he heard the question. "Oh um..." He looked out the window before walking back to his own bed, sitting down on it. "It was fine." Just... fine? Yeah if you could call his mental breakdown fine.

He could tell her they had all been reindeer- but he was pretty sure that was an uncool thing to admit to a girl. He glanced across at Roxel, looking a bit panicked. What was he supposed to do?!


Lucina glanced back when she heard Namine talking to Sammy. Her eyes narrowed, watching the conversation and reading the hand signs. But it... didn't make any sense.

Ida Tellus was dead, she'd been dead for a long, long time. She wouldn't be able to contact them no matter how much she tried. Or... could she?

There HAD been stranger things. "Do you know what she wants Sammy?"


"Mmmmmmm...." He moaned, hot and heavy breaths passing between his lips as he felt the teasing bites on his shoulders. At the question, he hissed out, "Yeeees" Just before the lips descended on his own. His hips twitched against the ministrations close to his lower regions, scratching his nails down the others spine impatiently.

The kiss was broken and he blinked, looking up at the other, seeing that smile. "Wha-" He started to question but never got to finish as the other tugged him up and around. He blinked as his position was changed to sit against the other, his glowing eyes turned to stare at the other. He smirked some as he felt his clothes being removed though, "Mmm, what's the rush?" He teased though he groaned some as he felt the hands tugging at his pants loosening some of the pressure his erection was straining against.

[Rikugurl]

Roxel swallowed as he saw the look on Tensai's face. He didn't get that face very often but when he did...man, you better duck! Was he mad at something she had said...?

That question was answered as Tensai walked to his bed by the window and sat down. It was weird...seeing him interact with anyone besides.... him.
A small red glow of jealousy ran over Roxel's cheeks but it hid away as Tensai looked over at him, his face desperate for answers on what to do or say.

The redhead shrugged and whispered. "Just tell her you're busy right now."

"Oh really? That's great! I just stayed home and had Christmas with my cat~ I wish you were here... The concerts just aren't the same without you and Roxel. You guys are coming back now, right?"


At Lucina's question, the purple eyes shifted and looked up, frowning a bit as he shook his head. His hands rose once more as he started to sign. 'I do not know. That's why we have to go.'
"Are you sure it's her calling out?"
The boy looked back at Namine and nodded.
"Hmmm.... how can you know all this??"
Samael just stayed silent, looking down at the table.

"Weeeeell, maybe she's lonely? You know Terra's been dead for awhile and maybe she's sad that he hasn't come by to give her flowers....but wouldn't you think Terra would visit her in the afterlife?"
'He did not make it.' Sammy signed slowly.
"Didn't make what?"
'To the afterlife.'
"WHAT!?" Namine rose from her chair, her hands on the table as she looked at the blonde. "What do you mean 'didn't make it'?? We all know Terra died! You're creeping me out, Sammy!"

Sammy jumped in his chair, his eyes wide with fear as he looked at the woman across from him.


The brunette looked up at the other, his wet hair plastered against the pillow as he continued to fiddle with Kadaj's clothing. "It's been awhile~"
Two weeks. That was awhile.
That was more than awhile.
That was like....a century.
LONGER.

"Besides, I'm just getting started~" He grinned as a hand reached up, wrapping behind Kadaj's head and pulling him down, making their lips smack together in another rough yet passionate kiss. His other hand ran down the bony spine and ribbed sides before gradually curving under. He teased the other's navel and pelvic area before slowly dipping further down, ghosting a wet organ waiting to be touched.

[Reno]

Tensai was so confused by Roxel's response - tell her he was BUSY? Didn't the whole pretend to ignore to attract thing only work for women to men? - that he missed half of what Vanille said. Something about a cat... they were fluffy and fun...

A familiar green fox jumped into his bed. Instantly his hand reached over, scratching the other under his chin. The furry tail started to wag and the fox started to purr. No one beat his Moxley though! He was the perfect combination. Playful and loyal like a lion, cunning and swift like a fox, and he had a hell of a lot of firepower to boot, along with some defensive abilities. He was the perfect companion.

But then he heard it. A question he dreaded.
"You guys are coming back now, right?"
"Um..." Tensai hesitated than swallowed. Shit.

"Yeah! We are. We have a photo shoot soon." He cheered up some, than faked a yawn. Something he never would of done had he just been being himself - but naturally no one acted like themseleves when they wanted to attract someone right? "Listen it's been a long day though. Me and Xel are heading to bed - but listen I'll give you a call when I'm in town and we can uh... hang out. Okay? ..............Okay yeah, bye."

He shut the phone then sighed falling flat on his back onto the bouncy springs. "Girls are a lot of work, aren't they? I don't even know what she sees in me..." He heard his friend make a comment about how he shouldn't be so mean to himself and sighed. "Oh come on Roxel... everyone knows you're the star and I'm just a sidekick." Huh... did he just mix up fame and heroism? Now he couldn't even get his metaphors right!



Lucina frowned some at the other's answer. Well damn it seemed like it - but how were they even going to talk to her? She was DEAD and last time she checked stones didn't talk. This was getting rather riduculo-

Her thoughts were snapped through when she heard her friend's cry. She looked up, worried, and only relaxed a little when she noticed both were still in one piece. what unsettled her was Sammy's scared 'deer in the headlights' look. "Alright, alright!" Without looking she flipped the autopilot switch as she stood and walked over to the two, standing by the purple-eyed teen protectively.

"We don't know anything right now so let's just calm down." She gave Namine a pointed look. "We'll figure everything out later and deal with the problems as they come even if we have to go to Hades himself to get our answers." She nodded. what worried her was if... Terra was clinging somewhere - like a ghost. That made her shudder. But why would he; the only think he would cling to is V-

She glanced at Sammy. "Did Ven make it?"


Kadaj shook his head at the answer. "Only 336 hours - 120 of which you spent sleeping." It really wasn't THAT long.

However, the silverette was beginning to change his mind as he felt lips crashing onto his again, and he groaned pleasantly as he kissed back. Maybe 336 hours was too many...
His glowing eyes started to darken as he felt a hand running close to his erect penis.
Holy fuck.
WAY too many.

He tugged urgently at the other's hair, his hips straining upwards in pious askance.

[Rikugurl]

Roxel couldn't help but chuckle as he saw Tensai make an obvious fake yawn. It wasn't probably obvious over the phone though.

"Really? We can hang out!?" She cheered happily before coughing. She didn't want to sound TOO happy right? That would make her seem desperate. "That's great, Ten-chan, I can't wait. Well, have a good night~ Toodles."
She hung up the phone and sighed happily. She was finally going to hang out with her!

Roxel laughed as he saw his friend, sitting up in his bed. He frowned when he heard Tensai beat on himself and shook his head as he started to brush his hair out. "Come on, Ten-chan, don't say that. You have a lot of fan too." His multicolored eyes blinked through the fire red and yellow hair before brushing it back and into a messy ponytail.

"Hey, that's not true... besides, you're a hell of a better keyblader than me... and I think that's a lot more important than being some pop star..." He frowned and sighed, laying down on his bed and turning off the lamp on his nightstand.


Namine looked down as Luci gave her a look, biting her lip. "Alright..." She slowly stood and gave them a weak smile. "I'm going to bed. Have a good night." She bowed slightly before rushing down the hallway the way Bonnie was headed.

Sammy sighed soundlessly but happy that Lucina was there. When she asked the question though, he looked up, his purple eyes glowing as he remembered....

His fingers pressed against the grass that was growing in, his purple eyes lidding as if concentrating....before his head snapped up, staring at Ventus's tombstone.

"TER--A!!? WHE--E --RE ---OING!? TE---------AAAAAAAAAAAAA!?"

The blonde nodded slowly before his hands came up. 'Yes but... he's sad too.'


The brunette pulled away as he felt the tugging on his hair. He could see the look in Kadaj's face. He needed it.
"Heh....why the rush?" He spoke lustfully as his fingers continued to ghost the other's member.

Some complaint made him chuckle before his fingers wrapped around the erection, his thumb running up the shaft to the head and then down again, gently pulling down the rest of the foreskin.

[Reno]

Tensai blinked at Roxel's response his eyebrows knitting together. ...What?

It took him a few moments to find a reply and by the time he did the lights were already off and Roxel was settled in his bed. "I never... I never knew you felt that way." He said softly, shifting in his bed so he was laying more naturally, looking across to the other side where Roxel's bed should be. It as near impossible to see though.

"I always kinda thought you never even cared... about being a blader." Tensai said softly. It wasn't hard to figure out why he believed that - Roxel said 'Who cares' to anything regarding Keyblades, missions and Generation 2 so often it was hard not to take his words at face value.

He never, ever thought it was because... Roxel might be feeling a little incapable or uncertain or even scared of failure. Damn it, he was the sentimental one, how did he not notice this stuff?!


Lucina's eyes saddened as well and slowly she nodded. "I would be too." She said softly, sighing. "Well, then the only thing we can do is find Terra's soul and get him back to Ven." How they were going to DO that, she was uncertain but they would cross that bridge when they came for it.

"For now, let's head to bed. We'll reach Atteris tomorrow."


He growled slightly as he felt another pass, annoyance at the mocking question making his eyes narrow. "You're teasing me, stop." Kadaj grumbled unhappily, his hips twitching again, trying to reach for the hand that was just out of reach.

Gunnar seemed to find him amusing but thankfully... he gave in. The silverette hissed as the sensitive head was exposed as the fingers skimmed down his erection, but the other was still just teasing him. He knew just what would get the other to do more though. The brunette was a bit egotistical - he loved hearing his own name.

He lent forward, silky silver locks brushing along the other's cheek and hot breath tickling the other's ear as he whispered hotly, "Come on Gunnar... please?"

[Rikugurl]

The teen sighed as he pulled the covers over him, the subject change bringing back some personal conflicts.
He listened to Tensai in the dark, staying silent as he thought about what to say.

How to express....what he felt.

"I don't want to be a keyblader...." He admitted softly. He shifted uncomfortably, still thinking...
"It's hard...being yourself...when you don't have a heart of your own. I love music and ice cream and I get jealous really badly...just like Roxas. Then I like having fun and the warmth of a fire and oblivious about some things... but feel a strong sense in protecting the one I love...just like Axel. And now...that I have a keyblade... I'm suppose to follow their same fate as them... so...I just want to forget about it... to be something else."

His eyes closed, curling up to the old plush of his. "I'm sorry if I'm dragging you with me..."


Sammy nodded as he stood, almost the same height of his leader. A soft smile was shared before they started down the hallway as well, not hearing anything else that was going on in the ship due to the sound proof rooms. They were pretty useless anymore now that Ven was gone... but it was still helpful for when Roxel and Tensai practiced or if Gunnar and Kadaj were uh....

The room for their door opened and they walked in, the room being a nice temperature for sleeping. It had taken them awhile to agree to what temperature the room should be at night. The heat Sammy put it on was FREEZING for Luci but when she put it on, it was too hot for the blonde.

Sammy pulled of his shirt and pants, finding his sleeping bottoms before pulling them up again. Plopping down on the bed, looked across the room again, watching Luci do the same act. He loved watching her undress... but didn't understand....why.


Mako eyes lidded as he felt the silver hair on his cheeks, the request making a shiver run down his spine. "Well...since you asked so nicely..." He grinned before wrapping his hand behind Kadaj's head and pulled him over, making their lips clash once more before his hand started to pump the other, already feeling the response as his hand became wet.

When the silverette couldn't take it anymore, their kiss broke and the hand that was on the back of his head reached down, pushing Kadaj's pants down so that his butt was exposed. He pumped the other harder and whenever he reached the head, his thumb would push against the meatus, making more pearls of precome to be released.

A tongue reached out, licking the other's lips as his hand slowly moved away, but was nicely drenched as it looped around the other's body. His middle finger ran down the silverette's crack until it found the opening it was looking for and pushed through slowly.
