Characters: reverse_destiny and prayerless; open to others rooming in 1-07
Setting: Room 1-07 (Aqua's Room)
Format: I'll change to suit
Summary: After a rather terrifying experience with a computer that hit way too close to home, Sora runs to someone who's offered comfort. (This is backdated, ahaha.)
Warnings: N/A at the moment, though a possibility of mentioning emotional trauma?

[Whatever had happened with the computers, he's not sure. But it had hit just slightly too close to home, dug up one too many memories to make him feel comfortable. And immediately, he'd taken off, running stairs until he'd finally reached Aqua's room, where he now stands in the doorway, trying to not look as pathetic s he feels.]

[She's a bit shocked by the abrupt action, especially considering their last encounter didn't start off too friendly. But she's certainly not going to turn him away. Especially when she realizes that he's crying.

She wordlessly wraps her arms around him, holding him firmly but not too tightly. After a moment or so, she begins to lightly stroke his back in even, comforting motions.

She doesn't know what's set him off, but it doesn't really matter at the moment. Her main concern is making sure he feels secure.]

[When he does talk, his voice is quiet and shaky. He won't mention what brought this up, either.]

...Why? Why didn't they come for me? Why did they let me get lost?

[She's a little confused by the questions, but she keeps her voice gentle while she asks about it, since she doesn't want it to seem like she's interrogating him.]

Who do you mean?

...My parents.

[It's the first time he's mentioned them outside of just abandonment. He's always been hurt by their having given him over to the dark, but the voice on the computer had really... Really bothered him. Perhaps too much.]

[She stops short at that, her hand momentarily faltering. It rests still near Sora's shoulder blade for a moment before resuming its soothing movements.]

...I wish I could tell you. [She really wants to tell him that she's sure his parents didn't abandon him, but she doesn't want to risk pushing him away like that when she has no proof. What she's said will have to do for now.]

...It hurt. I cried for them, and they never came.

[...But it doesn't matter now. Not right this moment. He was hurt, and they weren't there. And he was faced with that again.]

...I don't want that to happen again.

[His abandonment issues aside, Sora is probably right about one thing, and that's that there's a good chance he won't see his parents again. Aqua can hope for him, but realistically, she doubts it.]

...I'm sorry. [She knows it's not her fault and that apologizing won't make anything better. There's only so much she knows how to say to him, though.]

I'm here for you. Okay?
