... 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...

[immobileyes]

... What's it like?

[ Look, she's flown before, but that was on Toothless and that's probably completely different than flying on your own. ]

[coexistent]

It's... really cool. It's kind of hard to explain. Like, floating or gliding, only you can control it all?

[okay, explaining how to fly is really hard.]

I wish I could show you.

[immobileyes]

I wish you could, too... it sounds really amazing!

[ Well, Roxas has lived a more exciting life, but she's happy enough just to be able to hear about it. ]

[coexistent]

One day... when we can leave this place.

[honestly, he wants to do that, even if it's a little risky to go to a world the organization tracks.]

If I can... I'll take you there.

[immobileyes]

I'd love that! Does the place you know have mermaids too? And pirates with forks for legs??

[ Not quite. ]
