[ Okay, she can't lose this. She's completely normal! She's... not human, but that's not normal. Her hair is long? Is that normal?? Kido had long hair, but Momo didn't... no! She has to come up with something good! Something that'll decide her victory instantly! ]
[ That's the same for everyone then, isn't it? She wants to ask, but somehow... it's a nice feeling, being special because her eyes were hers.
Or something like that, her mind's not quite cooperating. But she lifts her head a little, just to peer at him for a few seconds-- and then lowers it back against his shoulder. ]
I guess that's like you, then... I really like your eyes too, Roxas.
[ah, this is... a weird feeling. what she says is nice, and it doesn't make him feel bad. but... they're not uniquely his, are they? his eyes and xion's are similar, and even more so with ventus.
(and probably sora too, but he doesn't have a real frame of reference for that once.)]
They're probably not special though. I think... they're probably pretty normal.
[ Give her a minute to clear her throat of scratchiness. ]
Your eyes, when you make a promise... I don't know how to explain it, but they're really warm? And when you're determined. It always makes me feel better.
[ Don't actually develop a fever, Roxas, that would be bad!! ]
It does, [ firmly, because he's not allowed to say that any part of him isn't special. ] So even if you think your eyes aren't anything special, they're special to me.
[friendship!! clearly, that's exactly what this is.
hilariously enough, all this talk of eyes makes his feel heavy enough to close them for a moment. he's pretty tired and his face still feels pretty warm after all this exertion (it's just the exertion, of course).] Thanks, Mary.
I'm glad... That you see things like that. [that these things are somehow his, and not just someone else's.]
Mm-hm! That way you won't have to hold me to it, because it'll be a promise. And even if I forget again, it'll be written down, so I'll still be able to keep it.

[he taps his shoulder against hers lightly. she's probably more normal than him?? but it's not like he can compare. so whatever!!]

[he scrunches his nose, and...] I think I know more people with gold eyes than pink ones.

It's okay if they're not normal though. They're yours, so maybe it's better that way. [it's not like weird has to be a bad thing, right?]
no subject
[ Wait. ]
Ah, then I'm losing...

I think so. They're yours... they're not anyone else's. I think that's pretty good, to have something like that.

[his face feels warm. why is is face warm? it must be because of the cold, obviously. being this sick has to be the reason.]
I didn't know it was like that but... I'm glad, if it makes you feel better when you need it.

She smiles, though-- not that he can see it. ]
I'll always see things like that. No matter what.

[he's joking, but... he really does feel relieved about it. maybe knowing that will make it easier for him to tell her the truth.
