@illogialheart Hayner walked alongside Roxas, the smell of the bistro growing stronger as they neared. Even hus stomach was snarling a bit. "It is colder out here. Dang."

@strugglecrocs ‷  Pfft!  ‴ he’d just chuckle and would walk out the door, waiting for his friend now.

‷  . . . hm.  ‴

@illogialheart There was something about teasing Roxas... and that smile. Hayner shook his head and gestured to the alley way entrance. "After you Mr. Hungry!"

@strugglecrocs ‷  Stop it, haha!  ‴ he’d get up now.

@illogialheart "Of course I'm sure..." He stood and leaned over Roxas, grinning mischiviously. "Now let's get going before your stomach grows a mouth," he teased poking Roxas's belly.

@strugglecrocs ‷  You sure?  ‴ he asked.

@illogialheart Hayner heard it and smirked. "Need some food there guy?" He chuckled, slipping his crocs back on. "Wanna head to the bistro? My treat?"

@strugglecrocs ‷  Yup, just about.  ‴ his stomach starts growling now— poor guy was hungry. but because it’s getting cold outside, sea-salt ice cream will not do.

@illogialheart Hayner rolled his eyes. Roxas's resolve was strong. "Fine fine, I yield. I like you too much to pry the information out of ya," he'd joke. Hayner stretched his arms high, and yawned loudly. "So... finish the homework yet?" He asked.

@strugglecrocs ‷  Haha, nice try but I’m not giving in.  ‴ roxas would not give out the information regarding the christmas gift so easily.

@illogialheart "One of?" He teased with a side glance. "C'mon, don't I get a hint?"

@strugglecrocs ‷  It’s obviously going to be the best thing ever, Hayner! You’re one of my best buds.  ‴ the blonde replied.

@illogialheart Hayner sighed and rolled off his friend, slumping on the couch with crossed arms. "Fine... whatever. It better be good, Rox. Because I got you something really cool."

@strugglecrocs ‷  Not a chance! I’d rather wait until Christmas to give you the gift I got you!  ‴

@illogialheart "Tell me or else!" He threatened, laughing as he wrestled with Roxas.

@strugglecrocs ‷  Haha, no!  ‴

@illogialheart Hayner smirked and set his phone aside. Then, he lunged at Roxas, starting to scuffle with his friend! "Tell me!"

@strugglecrocs ‷  Nope!  ‴

@illogialheart "You're worried about what some creepy old geezer thinks of you? And not your own friend?!" He nudged Roxas's arm with his foot. "Tell me! Or I'll make you talk!"

@strugglecrocs ‷  Pretty sure Santa Claus would shame me for telling.  ‴ he’d joke.

@illogialheart "Oh? Not telling, huh?" He lowered his phone with a smirk. "What if I tortured it outa ya?" He teased with a grin.

@strugglecrocs ‷  Not telling.  ‴ he’d say, not wanting to spoil anything.

@illogialheart "Christmas, huh?" Hayner absentmindedly laid back on the couch, his head opposite Rixas while he swung his legs up into Roxas' lap. "Whatcha getting me?" He asked with a smirk, still staring at his phone.

@strugglecrocs ‷  Christmas, for one.  ‴

@illogialheart "Yeah, what kind of stuff?" Hayner asked, his eyes falling back to his phone, and so had no way of reading Roxas' face ir emotions.

@strugglecrocs ‷  Oh, I’m fine. I’m just thinking about stuff . . .  ‴ . . . liar. murder was on his mind, but his expression didn’t show that at all.

@illogialheart At the silence proceeding, Hayner glanced at Roxas and smirked. He looked as though he had something on his mind, and so, he was going to mess with him a bit. He kicked at Roxas' side with one of his feet. "What's on your mind, Bonehead?" He teased.

@strugglecrocs ‷  Sora’s there— I’m sure it’s fine.  ‴ in his mind, he was forming a plan to find the one who saw him supposedly . . . but it will wait until later.

@illogialheart "Yeah it's pretty good... ya know... despite a rat being a chef," Hayner said with a bit of resentment. He yawned and leaned over to the side opposite Roxas, paying no attention to anything the other might be doing.

@strugglecrocs ‷  Nah, just more stuff about Sora helping at the bistro. I guess the food there is a great success—  ‴ he’d respond, remembering that someone in the paper claimed to have saw someone when the murders occurred. however, he’d never mention that . . .

@illogialheart "Eh... probably." Hayner committed, leaving his crocs off to the side while he crossed his ankles, grabbed his gummi phone and began doom scrolling. "Anything else going on in that paper, pal?"

@strugglecrocs ‷  Eh, we can go another time.  ‴ he’d sit with his friend now, letting out a sigh. ‷  We can investigate tomorrow— maybe it is just the Heartless or Nobodies stirring things up again.  ‴

@illogialheart "Heh..." Hayner kicked back with a shrug, "whatever you say pal. Guess we aren't going to investigate then?" He asked as he began to kick off his crocs.

@strugglecrocs ‷  Haha, no. I’m okay.  ‴ he’d put his hands in his pockets now. little did hayner know of roxas’ complete obsession . . .

@illogialheart Hayner chuckled and collapsed on the couch, meeting Roxas' gaze, noticing the uninterrupted look. "You alright Rox? I didnt cut off too much oxygen did I?"

@strugglecrocs ‷  Pfft, whatever!  ‴ oh, how hayner meant a lot to him . . . ♡

@illogialheart "Heh, sure you were..." Hayner said as he walked over to the blond and jabbed him in the side for good measure. "One of these days you'll have to stop that, or people will think you're actually weaker than me."

@strugglecrocs ‷  Hah! I was going easy on you, I’ll have you know!  ‴ he’d say, crossing his arms after his keyblades disappear from sight.

@illogialheart Hayner had to laugh, and though he wanted to tackle Roxas to the ground and scuffle some more, he fought the urge... this time. "So... want to go investigate this thing? I mean, we can stay here and I can kick your ass if you prefer," he joked.

@strugglecrocs ‷  Shut up!  ‴ he’d say, finally slipping out of hayner’s grasp! he was just laughing now, almost forgetting what it felt like to have fun after the whole war with xehanort . . .
