[stop being purposely obtuse, leon!] But I'm not gonna spend all day, every day looking for a way out when there aren't any leads, either. And I'm not gonna just sit around and do nothing at all, either.
[they're just stupid kingdom hearts existential life crisis things.]
I just wanna be a normal kid. I wanna do the things other kids do, like that homework thing, and spending time together having summer vacations and going to the beach. I just wanna be me. So I guess... [well, he finds it insulting that leon insinuates that working in the ice cream shop is a bad thing.
but roxas has his reasons for not hating it.] I guess I just don't think it's that bad to do this, if it's the closest thing to that I can do here.
[.... He really does hate that there's a part of that that resonates with him.
He left that possible life behind him a long time ago, but there's no denying that he doesn't understand where Roxas is coming from with that. The chance at a normal life....
...Well, he really doesn't know what to say to that. He can't even really scoff it off.
So instead, Roxas just gets a quiet:]
I see.
[And then Leon goes back to mopping, falling silent and putting his focus into cleaning because otherwise he'll think too hard about that.]
That was a lot of fussing for an "I see," you know.
[why did he even ask so condescendingly if he was going to react that way and then just... go on like nothing even happened at all? roxas really doesn't understand guys like leon at all.
he has a hard enough time understanding people, but this is kind of exceptionally confusing to him.]
How could I know anything about you? You probably wouldn't have even told me your name if you didn't have to. I'm just going by what I've seen from you... you know, all the time.
[aka he's a jerk and roxas doesn't understand how that loud blonde guy is always so nice to him??? what weird people.]
After all of that, they're going to need some time to clean up, and when they've finally made the store somewhat presentable, Leon pauses, wiping a sleeve across his brow. He's since rolled his long-sleeves up to his elbows, and has long since ditched the cape at work--but the tunic had to go for work like this too.
[wow, look at leon getting down to the nitty-gritty here. roxas hasn't shed any clothes, but considering he's basically just wearing a casual polo shirt and cargo pants, this isn't really much of a concern for him.]
...Well, at least we're getting somewhere here. [he can acknowledge that leon pulls his weight, at least. even if they're covered in ice cream and still have a bunch to do.]
[Leon's just going to huff out a sigh as well, but he's mostly just irritated with the amount of work they still have to do to make this place presentable.]
... I suppose for today, we should focus on removing as much ice cream residue as possible. We can worry about restocking and making the place presentable tomorrow.

That is not what I meant.
[He crosses his arms, setting his mop aside for a moment as he looks at Roxas with a sincerely curious quirked eyebrow.]
For now, put thoughts of CERES and escaping this place out of your head. Do you truly not have any ambition beyond working at an ice cream shop?
[At least you could...learn something cooler??? Work somewhere cooler??? Leon's been ambitious all his life, so he doesn't understand it at all.]

[You can't suddenly want to know what he thinks, Roxas, that's not the deal here!!!]
no subject
[considering he was the one who asked to begin with???? leon what the hell are you even.]
no subject
[Just...saying........ though ultimately, he just huffs, moving towards the counters to start scrubbing those down.]
I simply understood your answer. There was no need to say anything else.

...You're really weird, you know that?
no subject
It isn't as though your opinion matters in the least to me.
[Hmph!!!]
So keep it to yourself.
[Ah yes, still a dick.]
no subject
[yeah, roxas sure is snarking under his breath as he works.]
no subject
THOROUGHLY.
Even though Leon hears it.]
If you have time to mutter, you have time to scrub. Start over there. [While Leon starts from this side.....]
no subject
[because it's fine!! he's cleaning!! god, what a jerk.]
no subject
Yes, well. I suppose that is something.
[Don't sound so derisive, Leon...that's rude.]
no subject
[his derisive tone is obviously just annoying roxas more. they're doing well here.]
no subject
[SO FLATLY.
This is bonding.
Clearly]

or roxas is going to huff some snide remark under his breath, whatever.]

[it's better than it was, but roxas acknowledges it too—they're a long way from done.]
May as well keep going while we have momentum anyway, right?
no subject
[No arguments from Leon about that.
The more they get done today, the less they have to do tomorrow.
BACK TO WORK.]
