Marco found the note and made an instant mad dash to find the skateboard. Of course Lea wasn't going to give him time to kidnap Roxas. Not that he really would have anyway. He knew the kid would go wherever Lea did, and he wasn't going to ask him to stay in spite of that. It was almost funny in a way. He'd gone to Lea to try to work things out. To smooth them over. And he'd definitely made them worse. He wasn't sure why he expected otherwise to begin with. Thatch was the one who usually had to smooth things over for Marco, after all.

And like always, Marco had taken too damn long.

Too long in telling Roxas the 'truth' about Xifer. Too long to explain the deaths of his family and how he wouldn't let it happen to Roxas if he didn't want to.

Was this a sign of more to come? Both Haruta and Namur told him to tell Ace and Thatch the rest of what happened at Marineford, but to what end? To cause more needless pain? Why bother? Who says anything is inevitable?

Like Marco knows.

He took out his crumpled unfinished attempts to ask Roxas to come see him transform. He wanted to do it the night of the drinking party, but then the kid went to find Lea instead and Marco went off alone. And then of course all weekend Marco had been busy trying to fix, well, everything. Ray and Haruta and Shakki were in the world. Lea wanted out of the crew, and Marco didn't even care except--

Maybe it was just doomed.

He'd always expected he'd screw things up like this with Robin, and somehow... he still hadn't yet. Maybe because he actually took the advice of everyone around him. And everyone around him told him to tell Roxas that he was Xifer ages ago.

He still didn't want to say goodbye.

Not forever.

Damn it.

This was why he never wanted to have to be the adult commander around the kid. It was too hard. He just wanted to be a friend, why was that so difficult?

He tried to think of what to say if, no, WHEN Roxas showed up, but he didn't have anything. Just the plain and simple truth, however inadequate. He sat, and waited, mind racing, hoping that the kid came to get the skateboard instead of just leaving through the Nav without another word.
