It was an accident though, right?

[that's all he can ask, because.. well, honestly, roxas has no idea what else to say. he's not exactly equipped for this.]

[immobileyes]

Y-yes, but... I should have been more careful...

[ And maybe just kept her eyes shut the whole time. ]

[coexistent]

It's really okay, Mary... it's over now anyway, right?

[as long as... well, she doesn't look at him again until things go back to normal, he guesses.]

[immobileyes]

... I probably shouldn't look at anything at all.

[ Just in case. Please just blindfold her. ]

[coexistent]

We should still watch the movie, though. Maybe... we could keep a pillow between us?

[so they're still close and can hold hands, but so that she doesn't accidentally look at him? he's just throwing ideas out there.]

[immobileyes]

... You're not allowed to look around it at me at all, okay?

[coexistent]

I promise, I won't look until you tell me it's okay to.

[immobileyes]

O-okay... then keep your eyes closed!

[ she's going to scamper off to nab a pillow so at least he'll be spared. ]

[coexistent]

Oh, yeah—right!

[he'll even cover his eyes with his hands as he sits on the couch properly—with some honest no-peeking because he'd rather not get frozen like that again, especially if it's going to scare her to tears.]

[immobileyes]

[ It's for the best, honestly. Mary's entering nonetheless with the pillow clasped in front of her, peering around it to make sure he's not looking-- before she settles back on the couch and moves the pillow between them. ]

... Okay. You can look now.

[coexistent]

[to that, he'll open his eyes...

and yeah, this seems reasonable, if not a little weird. it kind of sucks that he can't look at her, but... as leas they're together, right? so roxas will just reach for her hand as he uses the the other to turn on the tv and open the ceresflix app.]

What should we watch?

[immobileyes]

[ It's fine, they can look at each other all they want when this wears off-- but Mary's fingers instantly tighten around his hand. Yes, it's ridiculous, but at least he'll be safe this way. ]

Mm... 303 Dobermans? Sootella?

[ ... such options. ]

[coexistent]

[it's fine, they'll be fine like this.]

Peter Skillet? [yeah, roxas is squinting at this off-brand peter pan so hard. so hard.]

These movies has such weird names.

[immobileyes]

They all sound interesting, though... is this one about a boy who can fly and cook?

[coexistent]

Maybe? He's definitely flying, but...

[s q u i n t.]

Should we watch it and see?

[immobileyes]

Yeah... maybe it'll make more sense then.

[ It probably won't. Tonkersmell is going to confuse the hell out of her. ]

[coexistent]

I hope so... let's find out.

[yeah, there's no way roxas is going to miss that this is a blatant rip on a world he's actually been to. tink's his brosis, they cool.]

[immobileyes]

Yeah...!!

[ ... Tinkerbell is probably far better than Tonkersmell, although the recognition will have to be left up to Roxas. ]

[coexistent]

[he'll press play on the movie and settle in—at least it seems to take a bit before they get to neverever nation.

which is when roxas just.]

Never ever Nation?

[immobileyes]

Eh? Have you heard of it?

[ She's lost. ]

[coexistent]

Not... exactly. But it's kind of really like a place I've been before.

[immobileyes]

Huh?? You've been to somewhere like this? Do they fly there, too??

[ Whaaaaa-- ]

[coexistent]

Yeah. I mean... not everyone can fly, but some people do...

[he did, which was pretty cool.]

[immobileyes]

Did you meet any of them? Did they teach you how to fly? Do you really use moxy rust??

[coexistent]

Well... it's called pixie dust where I was, but yeah. Tinker Bell needed my help so she used some. Anytime I'm in Never Land, I can do that...
