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.

[heartismyown]

Hey! You don't have to grab it.

[He relinquishes the book though, Lea just has to ask. Nicely.]

[by_heart]

[Lea doesn't bother to sit up and just holds the book up over his face to read.]

Geez, you've been slacking on this. I'm going to have to give you homework or something. Gimme a pencil.

[heartismyown]

Aw, homework is boring, do I have to?

[Roxas looks surprised, eyes widening. That rarely happens, it was just an instinct. He does however dig through his pocket and pull out a pen, handing it over wordlessly.]

[by_heart]

Yes, you have to! Look at this thing! When was the last time you actually wrote in it.

[Lea takes the pencil and rolls over on his side so he can write in the book. He leaves Roxas an assignment and hands it back.]

Get that done by tomorrow.

[heartismyown]

Okay, okay.

[Roxas grumbles a little bit. Lea didn't notice how weird that was, so it must have sounded fine. It's not often that 'Sora' turns up.]

[by_heart]

[What comes off as "weird" to Roxas doesn't even register with Lea because it sounds so normal.]

I'm gonna grade it too. If I fail you, I'm gonna give you half my chores in the galley.

[heartismyown]

Hey! That's not fair! I don't want your chores.

[by_heart]

Then you'd better get it done, huh? Ten sentences is all. Not that much.

[Of course, he made it so doing it from memory isn't going to be enough. Roxas is going to have to ask a few questions to get this one done, and he's not going to be the one answering them.]

[heartismyown]

[He tsks, and it slips out again.] I never liked homework!

[Roxas' eyes widen again.]

Let's talk about something else.

[by_heart]

Who's been giving you homework? This is the first time I've done it.

[Yeah, so Roxas wants to talk about something else, but Lea is nosy.]

[heartismyown]

[Yeah, that time Lea noticed. He put his palm to his forehead and shook his head.]

No one has.

[Seems like Roxas has his own secrets.]

[by_heart]

[Lea shoves him before rolling back onto his back.]

If no one has, then no complaining. Don't knock it till ya tried it.

[He'll just file this one away for later.]

[heartismyown]

It's not my fault! I didn't say it on purpose!

[Roxas is pretty easy to rile up sometimes.]

[by_heart]

What, so you accidentally don't like homework? You're not gonna get out of it, you know. Ten sentences or you're Galley Slave #2.

[So sayeth Galley Slave #1.]

[heartismyown]

Well I don't really like your homework. [This is true.]

There's...it's happened a couple of times before. When I say things sometimes but it's not me.

[Things you didn't know about Roxas 101.]

[by_heart]

You mean it's Sora? Did that happen, you know, before?

[If it's started since coming here, that could mean...he doesn't want to think about what it could mean.]

[heartismyown]

Yeah, kind of. When I was fighting Riku he was teasing me and whatever I said then made him realize who I was, because it was Sora, not me. I think it happened when I talked to Kairi too. It doesn't happen a lot or anything. I guess Sora doesn't like homework.

[by_heart]

[Well, as long as it isn't something new, he can breathe a little easier. A little.]

Huh. I've always just been me, so I guess I didn't think about something like that happening.
