[Lea shakes his head and sits down on the deck. Angry switch: off. It's like once the memory goes, everything goes with it.]

You're not mad at me because I'm keeping secrets about you, anyway. If there were secrets about you, you could probably just go ask Sora or Riku about them.

[He probably shouldn't be pushing things, but it's kind of disheartening to see the fire go out of Roxas' eyes that fast.]

[heartismyown]

I don't know what you're keeping secrets of, but why do you have to keep secrets from me anyway? Even if I can ask Sora and Riku...it's not the same thing.

[Lea can't escape entirely scott-free after all. It isn't the fight he forgets, it's the last fight that he's complaining about now. It's like there's a big hole in his memory from that time.]

[by_heart]

[Why does he have to keep secrets from Roxas? Where to even start with that one? There are so many reasons, but first and foremost is that he doesn't want to see the look on Roxas' face when he finds out what sort of person Axel really was.]

I know, I know...Okay, same as always, alright? You think of questions and I'll answer them.

[Hopefully he'll just never think of the right questions.]

[heartismyown]

[Roxas frowns a little bit and sighs.]

I don't know right now.

[He's not sure when he's more in the mood to be talkative if Lea will answer his questions.]

[by_heart]

[Lea flops back on the deck.]

Nothing?! Geez, and here I was trying to think of some good answers for you...

[That's not really true at all, but the disappointment is kind of real.]

[heartismyown]

[Roxas leans over and pokes at Lea's side a bit.]

Are we done fighting now?

[It's a roundabout way to ask for forgiveness really.]

[by_heart]

[Lea swats at his hand.]

I'm not fighting anybody.

[There's not much need to ask forgiveness from someone who was never angry at you to begin with.]

[heartismyown]

Kay.

[Roxas rubs his forehead. He's feeling a little taxed. Fighting with Lea always takes a lot of thought because Lea is tricky, and considering this fight was pushing at that block, whatever it is in his mind that makes him forget things, it's all the worse.

For better or worse, Lea certainly distracted him from his own thoughts.]

What did you want, anyway?

[by_heart]

[That memory of his...Roxas went from threatening him with a Keyblade to having no idea why the fight had started in no time flat.]

Nothing. Forget it.

[Not that he even needs to tell him to.]

[heartismyown]

[He blinks at Lea. He knows that kind of tone and he sighs a little.]

Sorry. Well...what now?

[by_heart]

[Lea shrugs, his arms flopping against the deck. His plans are kind of shot. Might as well lay here until someone gets pissed at him and tells him to get back to the galley.

At least Roxas isn't staring off into space thinking about disappearing anymore. Not that the problem has really been solved, but if he's not oging to talk, he's not going to talk.]

[heartismyown]

[Well quiet is something he's used to getting from Lea sometimes. The whole castle was quiet, but Roxas is feeling a little restless.]

I miss the clock tower.

[by_heart]

It was nice, wasn't it? Just the two of us and some ice cream.

[Probably the only good memories he'll ever have of that time. You couldn't even call all of them bittersweet. There were times when he'd been well and truly happy. As much as he could have been without a heart, anyway.]

[heartismyown]

[Lea is rewarded with a big smile.]

Yeah, I really liked that. It was really fun.

[It's his favourite memory of time with Lea, even better then his vacation with everyone else because those memories weren't really real, were they?]

[by_heart]

You still get to hang out with me here, though. We just don't have any ice cream.

[And now he's gonna get asked to make ice cream.]

[heartismyown]

It feels a little different somehow.

[Roxas thinks about it. Having less to do maybe, or seeing Lea around more than he used to is all very weird.]

The other cook, you know the guy with the soup, he makes really awesome sea salt ice cream! He made me some before he was sick from the witch.

[by_heart]

Mmhm, I think you might have told me about that. Well, don't expect me to make any. We're just gonna have to buy some next time we're in port.

[He may be the one in charge of cooking, but that doesn't mean he has any real talent for it.]

[heartismyown]

But what if we can't find the sea salt kind? Will you make it for me then?

[by_heart]

Pretty sure we already had the "different kinds of ice cream" talk.

[He understands why sea salt is special, but if he tries to make it and screws it up (which is what will probably happen), he's going to get the disappointed face.]</small?

[heartismyown]

[Roxas just blinks at him.]

We did? When? What kinds of ice cream?

[by_heart]

At your birthday party, dummy. I even wrote something in your notebook about that one.

[You'd think he'd at least remember things about ice cream. He's surprised Roxas didn't write more down after he'd given the book back to him.]

[heartismyown]

[He would but there was a lot going on that day. He's been really slacking it in the writing things down department, actually. He dutifully takes out his notebook to read it though when Lea tells him to.]

You want two kinds of ice cream and not in the same carton.

[by_heart]

Yup. I'm surprised you didn't write down anything else. I know I talked about it long enough to make myself hungry.

[All because of that stupid ice cream cake. That abomination. Ice cream cake is just wrong.]

[heartismyown]

Uh, no I didn't.

[He ducks his head a little sheepishly. He really hasn't written much in his book at all.]

[by_heart]

Gimme that.

[Lea tries to snatch the book away from him.]

You better be doing your homework or Professor Lea is going to have to give you detention.
