... Friday? [ he wants to die? he wants to die. never mind he's staying single forever it's better than talking about this. ]

[cyclists]

...[It...gets a little laugh, at least.]

Seriously? Man...I guess it's not that surprising.

[leaberator]

[ he's ... so... embarrassed, and the laugh doesn't help ]

Felt surprising enough to me. [ that. comment aside. ] You okay with it?

[cyclists]

She told me about you already, remember? It's not that surprising to me.

[Scarred him for life, maybe, but not surprising. The question's another hard one and he seems to be trying to draw up an answer.] ...she makes you happy and everything, doesn't she? Does Xion know yet?

[leaberator]

... Yeah. She does.

[ it's a happy that's lined with anxiety, but that's not exactly new. ]

Not yet, but I'm gonna tell her today. I just wanted to give her a little time after... everything.

[ today has already been ... A Lot ]

[cyclists]

That's good. [He doesn't clarify which part but probably both. Still, it's a new concept he's not sure what to think about it. It's not bad, really, but...]

You'll still spend time with us without her, right? [A stupid question, but the moments with his best friends are kind of one of the only things keeping him sane. ]

[leaberator]

[ his heart lurches, a bit, at the question, but he doesn't let it show. ]

Of course. C'mon, who d'you think you're talking to? You guys are my best friends. I wouldn't ditch you for anything.

[cyclists]

[He. Immediately brightens again. This dumb bitch…but he seems less put out.]

Just making sure. [But oh.] I didn't tell Emma that part yet. [It's debatable if he ever actually planned to explain who Axel is to him, but he should probably mention that now that it's official.]

[leaberator]

... Yeaaaah, neither have I.

[ ha ha. ha. ]

[cyclists]

[...good job everyone.]

Does she at least know about Xion?

[leaberator]

Of course she knows about Xion, Xion's not the one who's got a secret identity right now.

[cyclists]

...good point. [Duh. But hm.]

Do you want me to tell her? Should we tell her...? [Is it going to make a difference, he means.]

[leaberator]

... It's up to you. I'm not gonna tell her if you still don't think anyone should know. But that's the only reason I haven't.

[ in case roxas starts thinking he's trying to hide him on purpose for a dumb reason or something ]

[cyclists]

She knows my name and what I look like, and she knows I've known you for a long time. I didn't go into details because when she asked about the Organization I didn't think it was necessary for her to know at the time, and she hasn't asked about anything since.

[So no, it has nothing to do with hiding and literally just:] I wasn't sure what you'd told her, if anything, about any of us either.

[leaberator]

... Well, she hasn't asked me about any of that.

[ so obviously axel hasn't told her jackshit because that is how he is ]

[cyclists]

Is that because of timing, or you haven't even given her a hint there's anything to ask about? [He's not stupid? He knows how Axel is.]

[leaberator]

It's real hurtful when you immediately go to doubting me.

[ it's not like. entirely wrong, but? ]

She knows some stuff.

[cyclists]

[A raised eyebrow. It's not doubt if it's true, binch.]

What's "some stuff" so I don't tell her what you haven't already?

[leaberator]

[ :T :T :T :T ]

... She sorta knows about the Nobody thing? And... when I helped out Sora, I guess. She was curious about... [ he gestures vaguely at his torso. [joker voice] wanna know how i got these scars ]

[cyclists]

...oh. All of that. [Hm. Bad.] I told her I worked with some complicated people and that was about it.

[leaberator]

Told her I had terrible coworkers 'til I met one stubborn kid.

[ it wasn't exactly that wording, but. yeah. ]

[cyclists]

You're right. Xion's very stubborn. [:D]

[leaberator]

Oh yeah? Just Xion?

[cyclists]

Just Xion. [Today was bad and the day before was worse, but at least there's some joy in dunking on his friends.] Weird, right?

[leaberator]

So weird. I bet she'll completely agree with you when I tell her you said so.
