Roxas' answer is another thing Sora didn't want to hear. What does he mean he doesn't have anything to smile about- Sora just confessed. They just-- kissed and Roxas kissed him back.
Suddenly a strange bubbling anger fills Sora's lungs he clenches his teeth and looks down at his hands and they're shaking again.
... Maybe if he just wrapped his fingers around Roxas' neck and squeezed as hard as he could? Would he smile for Sora then?]
[That was a bad move. Now there's really a sense of danger. Sora wasn't happy and it's showing as clear as day. Roxas swallows hard, hesitating before taking Sora's hands in his own. He gives them a soft squeeze as he thinks of what to say.]
Sora... You're moving too fast, and it's scaring me. I've never done anything with anyone like this. You're cute and you seem really nice and I do want to get to know you, but at a normal pace. No rushing. [He manages a small smile, hoping Sora would look up to see it.] Please?
[Would that work?]
I didn't mind the kiss. It's all that you were doing after that made me pull back. I'm not ready for that.
[Roxas' hands on his somehow makes some of the static in his head calm down. But the anger is still bubbling inside his heart and his fingers squeeze tight on Roxas' hands.
He doesn't understand what Roxas needs a normal pace for. Or what Roxas couldn't be ready for. Sora loves him with his entire heart and soul what else does there have to be?]
[Biting back any indication that the squeezing hurt, Roxas nods. He leans forward and rests his forehead against Sora's, closing his eyes, hoping that small thing showed trust.]
It is. I don't want to be scared of you, Sora.
[Right now he's downright terrified.]
If you want me to smile for you, then don't scare me.
[His grip loosens but only enough that his knuckles aren't white. His heart is hurting right now and he's not sure what to do about it. He's so close to panicking.
... The only thing that stops him from panicking is the touch of Roxas' forehead against his. Sora lets out a tiny breath of air and inhales softly. He wants to be close to Roxas. So close that he could just open his chest up and.......]
I do want to see you smile, Roxas... So, I'll try.
Huh? [The kiss has Sora's heart beating quickly in his chest. Really, all he wants to do is make out a lot and touch a lot right now--- But if... That scared Roxas...
... This is hard. Hard to hold back all of these strong feelings.]
I'm not sure I can hold back if we lay down together.
[.... That might be a problem. Roxas chews on his lip as he debates on what to do. If Sora could follow instructions, even if a little unwilling, then...]
As long as clothes don't come off, I don't mind kissing you some more.
[Simple enough of a request. Right?]
And if I don't like something, I'll tell you. Alright?
[That blush and smile are cute and Roxas would love to see more blushing. Then again, is he that desperate for affection he's already thinking future things... Sora doesn't seem bad except these mood swings. Hmm...
[Hugs are doable. Roxas wraps his arms around Sora's neck, not too tight but just enough. Hugging someone who wasn't his brother or a friend is a little strange. They're close enough together where Roxas can smell Sora. The other had a much softer scent than he expected.]
.... kind of smells like sunshine...
[Did he just say that out loud??? Please don't let Sora have heard that.]
[Sora seems like he's been wanting to for a while. Who knows how long a while is, but it must have been just long enough to make Sora really grabby and overeager.
Roxas really feels like he should text some of his friends about this at the rate this is going.]
You've never noticed me like I've noticed you. [But today, it's finally different.] You're like a sunset, Roxas. So pretty but you can only watch it for a short while before it's gone.
[....... that makes very little sense. A sunset? Being referred to as pretty would usually rankle him. Right now? It's making Roxas blush a bit as he looks away.]
I don't get how I'm like a sunset. Don't you need someone who's sunny around to make a sunset?
[Shivering from even that tiny of a kiss, Roxas thinks hard. His friends always teased him about never having the courage to talk to girls. He never did tell them it was because they just didn't interest him.
He'd also never really paid attention to many boys either. None of them were his type, but now there was one in his bed that was and wanted to be with him of all people. Even if Sora had some worrisome moods... Roxas finally nods when he finishes weighing the pros and cons.]
[It's strange how one single word can make all the world to one person. How one little syllable could make one heart feel like it could grow ten times as big and burst into a million colourful pieces. His breath hitches and his skin prickles.]
Roxas.
[His fingers reach up to Roxas' neck. They trail over the contour of his collarbone up to his jugular. He can feel the gentle pulsing beat of Roxas' blood in his neck. Then he moves his fingers to touch his chin and then finally resting on his cheeks.]

We can work on the project... Tomorrow. Alright? Just make it a rest day today.

Before they can even reach the bed Sora is coming close to hug Roxas, arms going around his torso to hold him.
Roxas' warmth and his scent...]
no subject
.... kind of smells like sunshine...
[Did he just say that out loud??? Please don't let Sora have heard that.]
no subject
Like sunshine?
[Sora's fingers are already wandering across Roxas' lower back. Trailing close to the bottom hem of Roxas' tshirt.]
no subject
Y-You smell like sunshine.
[Even if it's embarrassing to repeat and brings a blush to his cheeks, it's the truth.]
no subject
You smell really good too.
[With that, Sora moves to tug Roxas to the bed so they can flop down on it. Even the pillows and blankets are all Roxas. Sora is living a dream.]
no subject
I don't think I do...
[Roxas was at gym, and even taking a shower after he doesn't feel like he's all that nice smelling.
There's a soft squeak as they flop down, Roxas trying not to land on Sora. He blinks as he watches Sora.]
You okay?
no subject
He doesn't mind as they flop down on the bed and he only smiles at Roxas with wide blue eyes.]
I'm more than okay now.
no subject
Nodding a bit, Roxas pulls Sora a little closer.]
You seem a lot happier than before. [He really wants to ask how mad he made the other, but he's also afraid of the answer.]
no subject
That's because I finally get to be close to you.
[His cheeks get pink again.]
no subject
Why... didn't you just talk to me before today?
[Sora seems like he's been wanting to for a while. Who knows how long a while is, but it must have been just long enough to make Sora really grabby and overeager.

Always say that to me. Just me.
[He smiles gently and kisses Roxas.]
