kh_drabbleChallenge: [305] Rise Up
Title: Staring at the Ceiling
Word Count: 312
Spoilers: Are KHII spoilers still in effect? Otherwise, no.
Notes: Set in Twilight Town.
There was something about getting up first thing in the morning that Roxas was having trouble with. He knew he was a teenager, and they weren’t known for their morning enthusiasm, but staring at the ceiling for hours until someone came to collect him wasn’t normal. Usually, someone would show up by nine or ten, but occasionally it was noon before his friends remembered he existed and threw rocks at his window. He didn’t think he saw a single sunrise in his life.
Once he remembered waking before the sun, but then he opened his eyes again and it was full day. He wasn’t sure if it was a dream. His whole life seemed like a dream. During the day, everything seemed okay. Mostly. All the weird things he had seem lately were throwing that off a bit. But during the mornings... He had tried, one morning, to roll himself out of bed, maybe catch his parents before they left for work. He had woken up two hours later, laying on the floor. He couldn’t remember his parents faces, it had been so long, but they never bothered to stay and say good morning to him.
He knew he saw sunsets. He remembered watching them, every day of his life, with his friends, with... The thought faded as he noticed it was nearing midday again. Would someone remember to come for him today, to call him out for a game of Struggle or to work on summer homework. It had been a while since school let out, but they hadn’t finished yet. That was okay, they weren’t due to come back until... Well Roxas wasn’t sure when. Olette would let him know. She should be by soon, with Hayner and Pence and...
Roxas wasn’t sure what it was about mornings, but he could never gather the motivation to rise out of bed.
