At fourteen, Sora feels like he's reached a dead end. Another year of bad grades means the possibility of repeating a hellish year of middle school. Dealing with the fallout from his classmates and cold, strict mother only makes matters worse.
So, w...

☁️Roxas, should we go now?☁️ Sora isn't sure how long they had been in the motel, kneeling behind a dinged-up steel counter in the kitchen, hiding like rats. His feet really hurt from sitting in this odd position for so long and aside from that, He is itching to leave. ☁️Hey?☁️ Sora tries a little louder, figuring it's safe to make some noise. But Roxas doesn't turn to look at him, even to shoot the brunette a glare. He won't talk to him, even to tell Sora to shut up. Roxas won't do anything, and it's so frustrating that Sora can't believe it.
Sora reaches for his shoulder then drops his hand, because that's a conversation that Sora doesn't to have want again. Throwing stuff actually seems like a pretty good alternative for getting his attention... ☁️Roxas!☁️ Sora had finally said in a voice that's loud enough for him to snap back to reality.
🍦What?🍦 he barks, almost falling forward a bit. Well, that clearly startled him... I wonder if he was so concentrated he really couldn't hear before.
☁️Are you okay?☁️
🍦Fine.🍦
☁️Should we get moving?☁️
Roxas goes quiet again, considering.
🍦Yeah,🍦 he says slowly. His next words are much more confident. 🍦It sounds like everyone's gone... the best thing for us to do for now is to find a place to sleep. We can clear out sometime tonight or in the early morning.🍦 It takes him a moment to get off the ground and back onto his feet. Honestly, he looks like he's going to be sick. Sora wouldn't be surprised if all that running did him in. Again.
Sora watches him lean against the counter to catch his breath.
What a mess. Roxas is. Sora likes him and everything, but sometimes it seems like there are more things with him that are wrong with him than right. From the flu he just can't seem to shake to his totally random outbursts... why does Sora even still ask him if he's okay? Of course, he's not. But Sora really can't help but feel so sorry for Roxas, how he's become this way. So angry and scared. He wonders how they could have turned out so different as people, having gone through so much of the same stuff... unless He is on the same path as Roxas is, and that will be Sora someday. Unless Roxas has gone through things he's not telling him. Which Sora don't doubt for a second.
