[He takes the weapon with some care. At least he's not swinging it around wildly or anything disrespectful like that. But holding the weapon feels oddly familiar. He's not sure why.]
Yeah. If I can get good at making it disappear, I'd always have a weapon with me.
[Super convenient. Roxas takes it back with a small smile, as if he felt happy for it to be back in his hand.]
I had someone offer to spar with me when they get their own weapon back. Think they might be one of those Isekai people that have been showing up these past few months.
[Things being weird in Kaisou is quickly becoming normal and he's heard of all the Isekai people too. Sora having butterfly wings now and all the other weird stuff happening...]
I met a girl named Rhel who is one. She's from a star with demons called voidsent or something like that.
[He laughs a little.]
That's really cool though, Roxas! You're gonna be a pro at sword swinging in no time.
That's... about as strange as some of the others I've talked to. Ken apparently comes from a world that have gates like the ones that have been popping up here. He sounded really interested in them.
[Roxas thinks about the Keyblade disappearing again, and after a few seconds of concentration, it does just that. It's still something weird to behold that has him jump slightly. Gotta get used to that...]
I don't think that's the term for it. Swordsmanship maybe?
[On the other hand Sora seems delighted to see the weapon vanish. His wings flap a little and he reaches out to try and touch some of the remaining sparkles that hang in the air. Too cool.]
You know, I kind of want to keep looking through all the gates too. So long as they're not as bad as getting kidnaped by fairies I guess.
[Roxas doesn't answer that right away, glancing to the side as he wills his cheeks not to burn. Being a knight for Sora... would that be so bad? Though that could change the relationship dynamic, and he doesn't know if it would be good or bad.
So when he turns to Sora, the blush is still there, but he looks unsure.]
I do want to protect you... but would you even want a knight? You're pretty capable so I don't know if I should say yes or no to that.
[Oh no. That's cute... Sora had sort of been teasing and flirting at the same time but Roxas takes it pretty seriously. He has to think that's cute and incredibly sweet.]
You saved me once so I think you're already on your way, Roxas. If you wanna be, I'll be happy it's you.
[Sora could stand to be more teasing or calling out Roxas on being too serious. Being too serious is way too easy to slip into when the brunette is involved. He just really wants to impress and not accidentally chase Sora off.
So this answer? It stops him in his mental tracks for a few seconds. Don't be too overly eager, Roxas.]
I saved you because I wanted to. Yet if that makes me good enough to be knight, does that make you a princess?
[Sora is already pretty convinced that Roxas is just that serious of a person. How many times has Sora said something playful or flirting only for it to totally whoosh over Roxas' head? It's amazing.
But at least that makes Sora snicker.]
I'm a butterfly already I don't need to be a princess too! Besides, a knight can be a prince's protector, right?
["If you like boys in dresses"... Roxas has no words for that. Here he was, thinking it would just be cute to see Sora in one, but actually really delving into that subject? His own cheeks go red as he laughs nervously.]
I... might? I-I don't really know... I've only ever seen guys in dresses on TV and stuff.
[Where it was always treated as a joke thing.]
I think I might... if it's you?
[The last part is said rather quietly as he finds some interesting blades of grass to stare at. It's very good green grass.]
[Sora blinks and he gets this image in his head of getting into a dress for Roxas and it does make him feel some kind of way. He lets out a small laugh out of some embarrassment only and rubs the back of his head.]
Well, I dunno. I guess I could try it.
[Only for Roxas...!! He grins playfully.]
But maybe that's a third or fourth date kind of thing, huh?
[Third or fourth date... Sora was already thinking so far ahead, which makes Roxas feel warm all over. Blush still very much there, he finally looks at Sora with his own grin.]
So you're planning future dates already? You must really like me if you're doing that.
[Sora can feel free to deny that for now. Roxas wouldn't be upset. It's the first date after all.]
[There's a almost blue-screen moment in Roxas' brain when he hears that. Sora likes him? Despite the fact that they are on a date, which means there has to be some like there, it's still surprising to hear. That, or Roxas is just that oblivious when it comes to reading people.
He stares till his eyes scream for him to blink before he does so. Blinking brings him out of his lull and he practically blurts out a reply without a second thought.]
I like you, too. [A pause to catch up happens before he goes on.] For a while now.

[Jealous? Roxas doesn't know what there's to be jealous about. It was a weird weapon, though he knows it's his weapon.]
... wanna try holding it?
no subject
Really? Yeah! Sure?
[He holds out his hand?]
no subject
See? It's kinda heavy but not? If that makes sense.
no subject
Whoa. It is really light.
[He holds it up a bit and tests the weight.]
no subject
[Everyone on the post mentioned how heavy it looked, so Roxas felt like it should be a warning.]
You look good holding it.
no subject
[Roxas is totally stronger than him, no doubt. Sora holds the keyblade and points it.]
It feels kind of nice to hold, though.
[Like he's done this before...]
no subject
[The more Roxas watches Sora, the more it feels like there should be something different in the others hand.]
Right? People kept calling it evil, but it doesn't feel evil. I like it better than those swords they keep giving us for gates with monsters.
no subject
[Sora smiles and offers it back. It might feel good to hold but in the end it somehow feels right that Roxas takes it back.]
no subject
[Super convenient. Roxas takes it back with a small smile, as if he felt happy for it to be back in his hand.]

[He tilts his head.]
Yeah, swordsmanship! Or, uh, key-manship?
[Sora, no.]
no subject
Key-manship...
[You're such a dork, Sora. Roxas does find that adorable, though.]
If you wanna avoid getting kidnapped, we could always go together. I got a weapon now and I guess I know how to use it.
no subject
Instead he retaliates by nudging Roxas' side playfully.]
Uh-huh. What, you wanna keep protecting me in those gates? Be my knight in shining armor, Roxas.
no subject
So when he turns to Sora, the blush is still there, but he looks unsure.]
I do want to protect you... but would you even want a knight? You're pretty capable so I don't know if I should say yes or no to that.

no subject
True... though I think you would look cute in a dress. If you don't count the outfit you turned into a part fairy in as a dress.
[It is not the time to think of Sora in something frillier...]
Maybe I should get you a crown.
no subject
No way, that was more like... uh. A bathrobe or something.
[It was such a thin garment it might as well have been a bathrobe. He feels embarrassed.]
But if you like boys in dresses so much...
[Maybe he can try it? Is that too forward to imply on a first date??]
no subject
I... might? I-I don't really know... I've only ever seen guys in dresses on TV and stuff.
[Where it was always treated as a joke thing.]
I think I might... if it's you?

Yeah! I mean, I really do like you Roxas. A lot.
[He might as well be honest because it's true.]
no subject
He stares till his eyes scream for him to blink before he does so. Blinking brings him out of his lull and he practically blurts out a reply without a second thought.]
