Who: bb!Roxas and bb!Nero
When: Um like 10 years before the current canon storylines I guess? And like, late afternoon I guess
Where: Twilight Town's sandlot. Obviously, this is very much AU, if you haven't guessed already, lawl
Open/Closed: Closed

It was just another day in Twilight Town, the constant evening sun giving the town a soft orange glow. And like a lot of days in Twilight Town, five year old Roxas was wandering the streets. He was happy actually, because he'd finally saved up enough money from chores to buy himself a sea-salt ice cream bar, so he did just that.

He was on his way from Market Street to the Sandlot, carrying the ice cream in one hand while eating it, and in his other hand he dragged a little red wagon behind him. The red wagon was filled with little plastic shovels, buckets, and sand castle molds. He always waited until later in the afternoon to come out and play because, well, he wanted to avoid the other kids, who liked to make fun of Roxas because he was smaller than them. Sometimes he was able to avoid them, other times he wasn't so lucky. But hey, at least today he had his ice cream. That made everything better.

	Nero frowned. "Well if they do, we'll hit 'em so hard they'll...they'll fly to the sun." Nero said with a nod. They'd worked hard on this sandcastle and he liked Roxas. If anyone tried to disturb that, he'd be angry and whoever had tried to mess with them would wind up with a black eye or worse, if Nero had anything to say about it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Roxas looked over again at Nero and smiled softly. "You're not like those mean kids, you're awesome. We should play together all the time!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Nero smiled at Roxas. "You're awesome too. We should meet out here all the time!" In fact, Nero was going to ask his mom if Roxas could come over sometime and have ice cream. That'd be fun.

Nero pulled the mold off the sand, creating another tower and began to build a mound for the next one. It was nice to have a friend. Most of the kids would sometimes pick on him because of his white hair, but Roxas didn't seem to notice, only happy to play with him. "If our moms let us, do you wanna meet out here tomorrow?"

	"Yeah!" Roxas said enthusiastically. He began packing some sand around the towers, trying to create a small bridge between two of them. "We can make more castles! You like making sand castles?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nero nodded. "Yeah! Then later we can go back to my house. Mom'll give us ice cream." He said brightly as he moved to help Roxas with the bridge. Then he realize they hadn't told each other what their names were yet. "I'm Nero, by the way." He said giving Roxas a smile. "What's your name?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Roxas gave Nero a bright smile as his eyes lit up. "I'm Roxas! I like your name, Nero. It's really nice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nero blushed a little, but continued to smile. Something about his friend's smile made him happy. "Thanks! I like your name too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	keyofdestiny 2010-12-31 06:16 am UTC (link)
	"Thanks." Roxas said. He smiled as they continued to finish the bridge together. Nero was the nicest and coolest kid he'd ever met out here. He really liked him a lot already. He definitely wanted to spend more time with him. "Nero, can we be friends?" He asked sheepishly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	catchthis 2010-12-31 06:50 am UTC (link)
	Nero nodded, giving Roxas another big grin. "Of course!" He said. He didn't have many friends and he liked Roxas a lot. He wanted to hang out with him some more. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Awesome!" Roxas smiled brightly. He pulled his hands back from the castle to look at their work. "I wish I could live in it! Look at it!" When was the last time he was so happy? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nero looked at the castle, pondering for a second. It looked great. "It needs something, though." Nero said, looking down spotting his ice cream stick. "Ah, I got it." Nero picked his stick up to show Roxas. "It can be a flagpole." He said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	keyofdestiny 2010-12-31 06:59 am UTC (link)
	Roxas pulled his stick out too. "Mine too!" He said. He carefully placed the stick in one of the towers he'd built and rose his arms over his head. "This is Roxas castle!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nero placed his stick in a tower right across from Roxas. "And Nero castle!" He said with a laugh. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Victory is ours!" He exclaimed. "Best castles ever. Isn't our kingdom the best?" Somehow, this seemed a lot more fun because Nero was here. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah!" Nero exclaimed with a grin. This was a lot of fun. Definitely more fun than roaming Twilight Town by himself. "It's the best because we own it!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Roxas gave Nero another bright smile. "I can't wait to make more castles now. Maybe I should bring some of my action figures so we can have an even more awesome kingdom. I normally don't take them outside tho..." Because when he got teased and pushed around by the bigger kids, his toys would also suffer the damage. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	catchthis 2011-01-01 01:11 am UTC (link)
	Nero nodded. "Yeah, and I can bring some of mine! They can guard our castle!" Maybe they could do that tomorrow. That'd be fun. Nero wasn't worried about kids trying to break their toys. They'd deal with them, he knew. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	keyofdestiny 2011-01-01 01:28 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, they can. It'll be great." He said with a smile. He had a friend now. This was awesome. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We can build an even bigger one than this too." Nero said, giving Roxas a bright smile. He had a toy dumptruck at home. He could bring that with him next time. Nero really liked his new friend. It was rare that he found another kid he could get along with. This was great. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Maybe our action figures can have a war over who takes over the castle." He suggested. He didn't want to go home right now, he was having too much fun. It wasn't late yet was it? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah!" Nero said. "And I can see if I can make a couple real flags." From ice cream sticks, of course. He was having fun too. He was hoping neither of their moms would call them for dinner yet because he really didn't want to go. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	keyofdestiny 2011-01-01 09:45 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah." He agreed. He patted the castle a bit more. "I haven't seen you here before, are you new?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nero nodded. "Me and my mom moved here. She said it wasn't safe where we were living." Nero didn't know what his mother was worried about, but gladly went with her, even if he missed Fortuna sometimes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Roxas nodded. "Well, it's not bad here. I mean, I like it, except for the big kids. And....I'm glad you're here." He said shyly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am too." Nero said, giving Roxas a smile. "If I wasn't, I wouldn't have met you!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
