[Apart from the sound of the waves, the beach here was quiet. There was a gentle breeze, and the sky was clear save for a few fluffy clouds floating overhead. It was, as far as anyone could tell, another typical day on Destiny Islands.

Except it wasn't the islands, and anyone there would know that. But it was a memory crafted in the heart of someone who loved them very much, and that made this place feel like home in it's own way; a different sort of home, but a welcoming one all the same. But though the beach was peaceful, it was also nearly empty.

Nearly.

If someone showed up and took a look around, they'd notice a boy sitting on a bent-over tree in the distance. Maybe he was just relaxing...or maybe he was waiting for someone.]

[Probably, but it wouldn't stop him from doing so. After all, complicated was just Tuesday for him at this point... Hell, even before when he got the jealousy stick out of his ass a couple years back. Maybe even earlier than that.

Either way, he sobers up just as quickly as Sora smiles again. It's almost like old times as they smirk at each other and he nods in response. ... "Find really good presents for them," huh.]

Oh, we will. [...That is definitely the look of him plotting something.] Don't worry about that.

... I have a while. [Because he'd been fighting for days and a nap would, as much as he hates to say it, may be just what the Keyderps around him ordered after yeeeaaaaaaaaaah.] Why?

[That plotting look was exactly what Sora was hoping for - now he's sure that he won't have anything to worry about at all.

It's hard to tell, but Sora relaxes just a little bit more when he's sure that they aren't in as much of a hurry as he was worried they would be.]

No big reason. It's just been awhile since we've really gotten to hang out like this, that's all.

[It's much more than that, of course - once he woke up, he and Riku would have a lot of important things to talk about. But this wasn't the time for that. Right now, he just wanted to spend some time together while they had the chance.]

[Silly Sora, like it wouldn't have been a thing on its own anyway. And for that comment, someone gets a noogie (and spoilers: the person's name doesn't start with an "R").]

Fair enough, "lazy bum."

[Laughing, and nnnnnnope. Never letting that go since he totally heard that a couple years ago and again only a few days before suddenly dreams again.]

Hey, cut it out!

[Except he can't mind too much, with the way he's smiling and laughing. He'll even let that "lazy bum" comment slide, just this once.

Once he can catch a breath he playfully shoves Riku's shoulder, still laughing. He waits until they both have a chance to quiet down a little.]

Just don't wait so long to show up next time, okay? Or else I might have to come looking for you.

[He was ready to scour all the worlds and then some to find it before he went to sleep - don't think that he can't dig up that resolve again if he has to.]

Why? You are dreaming this time, after all.

[Okay they both are, but shh. He's still laughing, probably the most he has in a long while. Heck, Riku will even let it slide with returning the playful shove--

Oh. Somewhat playful tone gone.]

Heh. Sorry for keeping you waiting. I just... [he shakes his head.] --didn't want you or Kairi to see me. Not like what I was.
