[ If he wasn't holding two ice creams he might've tried right now and it'd end badly. That being said, he finally takes out the ice creams from behind his back, holding one out to him. ]
Yeah! It's salty, but sweet and really good. I used to have it all the time after I did missions for some people.
[ It's always time to be absolutely and incredibly (im)mature. But, he's pretty happy that he gets Vanitas to try something good, so there's that! Roxas starts on his treat already, unsurprisingly. ]
Yeah, I was part of some Organization that made me do a lot of missions. Working with them was really no good in the end because the leader was a huge jerk, but I met a few people that weren't so bad, and even made a really good friend there.
... and then blinks softly. There's actually a pause as he tries to figure this flavor out. Who even came up with something like this? He was kind of hoping not to like it... and yet... heh. He's going to be slowly eating on it as he listens, his brow just faintly tensed.
Well... he can't be surprised? Roxas is similar to Ventus; Ventus wound up making friends in various worlds, on top of having two best friends. Heh... That swell of jealous loneliness is all-too-familiar.
[ You don't have to be lonely anymore, Vanitas. Because now he's here...just accept it already...!
(Though of course it can't be that easy, can it?) ]
...For helping us all get our hearts back. The Organization was all like "blah blah we're not meant to exist, Nobodies don't feel anything and don't have hearts". But that was actually a lie because the guy at top wanted to use everyone to do whatever he wanted, and what better way to manipulate people who just...kind of came into being? It...worked pretty well too.
[ He would be smiling, but the topic is kind of somber, so it doesn't quite happen yet.
"Who are you talking to? To me, or to Sora?"
"To half of Sora, of course." ]
Yeah, I do have a heart. You think that I'd make that up?
[ His voice is a little quiet, though there is a slight edge to it - he still doesn't know if he'd ever tell anyone else any of this because of how everything was, and all, but ... here he was. ]
[ ...Hey, he also admitted that he liked the ice cream a lot, and the words following that made him relax. Looks like it was a good idea to tell him it after all. ]
I really should hope so.
[ There definitely is a slight smile on his face there. ]
[ Roxas doesn't have a clue of those things or thoughts, so when he notices Vanitas' actions, he can't help but look at him curiously...and then takes a small bite out of his ice cream. ]
[ ...that's...actually kind of cute, so he watches his face and that answer, looking a little and positively surprised for a moment. ]
Really?
[ Roxas couldn't help but feel kind of warm, even if it seemed so simple, to hear Vanitas say or admit...that he'd like to do something like share some ice cream with him again. Yep, it ultimately reached his face too and so did a soft smile. ]
[ The redness of Roxas' face confuses him but not as much as the smile does. He glances away, almost doing a good enough job at hiding the awkward air around him. He's going to be going quiet now, just focusing on finishing the ice cream. ]
[ He totally notices it, but he just laughs a little to himself - it's easy, soft and happy. Then he's going to try to finish up his own sea salt ice cream himself. ]
[ Roxas says these words at first teasingly, but he can't wait long enough to hold back the rest. ]
Because I got to spend time with you talking and eating something nice. Even in a terrible place like this, it looks like I can still create good memories.

Doing that would hurt you, in the end, more than me.

... Salty ice cream?

Yeah! It's salty, but sweet and really good. I used to have it all the time after I did missions for some people.
no subject
[ There's the hint of a smirk. Once it's being held out, he studies the ice cream... and then slowly reaches out to take it. ]
Missions?

Vanitas looks down, quiet for a moment. ]
The missions... What were they for?

[ VANITAS...
He goes quiet for a moment... ]
... So you actually have a heart, then, after all?

Yeah, yeah.
[ ... There's a considering look. ]
Not really. You seem too much like a person for that.
no subject
I really should hope so.
[ There definitely is a slight smile on his face there. ]
no subject
... This is a strange moment, for him - something he's never experienced, before. He's not used to making people... smile? Feel better?
He's not sure what to do or say, here, so... he's going to go back to the ice cream, his gaze thoughtfully resting on the floor. ]

You're so nosy.
[ But, there's no bite to it. ]
I just thought of something, is all.
no subject
Like how good Sea Salt Ice Cream really is and you can't wait to share some with me again?
[ There is a bit of teasing there, yeah. ]
no subject
... There's just the hint of color getting added to his cheeks, there. He rolls his eyes. ]
Sure, let's go with that.
no subject
Really?
[ Roxas couldn't help but feel kind of warm, even if it seemed so simple, to hear Vanitas say or admit...that he'd like to do something like share some ice cream with him again. Yep, it ultimately reached his face too and so did a soft smile. ]
I'll remember that you said that, okay?

no subject
...this really was a good idea.
no subject
Yeah? What makes you say that...?
no subject
[ Roxas says these words at first teasingly, but he can't wait long enough to hold back the rest. ]
Because I got to spend time with you talking and eating something nice. Even in a terrible place like this, it looks like I can still create good memories.
no subject
... Good memories...?
[ He makes a bit of a face, though it holds more confusion and conflict than anything else. He isn't elaborating, it would seem. ]
no subject
[ Vanitas isn't elaborating so he just assumes (possibly erroneously) Vanitas is just...confused. ]
no subject
And then tosses the (now bare) stick at his forehead. ]
I haven't done anything to warrant you liking me.
no subject
...You can say that all you want, but it doesn't really stop me from feeling that way.
[ - and talking with words that are just incredibly stubbron-sounding. ]
no subject
Because you're an idiot.
