[It's cold. For one who does not like the cold very much, they can be pretty miserable. Luke walks through the village, coat unzipped but crossed over his chest and stomach, with a rather irritated look on his face. Dammit. If Guy were here he'd probably frown at him and zip up his coat before talking to him more...

He glares up at the sky and the little flakes of snow falling from it. He has his journal with him, so he slides it out of his pocket and opens it idly, turning on the video option as he keeps staring up at the sky.]

Damn, this is annoying... It feels like we barely even had fall. [He looks down at the journal now.] Does it ever seem like time's passing by really fast for everyone else?

[And thanks to him holding the journal, his coat's flapped open again. If Xion saw him, she'd definitely zip up...]

Oh...

[With that realization and idea in mind, Luke hurries over to get by a wall, as if that'll help him plan things with everyone else. Then, after some work, he gets some filters ready.]

[Filtered from Xion // 100%]] ... [Filtered from Van and Vanitas // 100%]

A lot of people here know Xion, right? Well, um...

[He remembers Flynn, and how he talked about making Rapunzel's dream come true... Why can't he be as smooth as he was while doing that? There's a little blush on his face and everything... GAH. He'll just clear his throat and keep going. He's already started, so why not?]

Her birthday's coming up on the twentieth. Last time there was a surprise party for her, and I was thinking... Maybe we could do that again this year? Or something like that. October's been a pretty bad month for her. Things are getting better, but... I think she could still use something like the people who care about her celebrating her birthday.

[The fact that she was born... created. The fact that she's alive now...]

So we could hold it... somewhere. And maybe... sometime before sunset. ... I don't really know how to do any of this stuff.

[Definitely not Flynn-worthy. Guh.]

((ooc: I know his last post is being backlogged to all hell, but I'll get tagging that one too. This one was just important to get out like right now. |D

Perhaps you should invest in a coat with buttons instead? You'll catch a cold if you walk around with it like that... [He's only looking out for you, bro!]

I've got coats with buttons... I just picked up this one for some reason. [More like he just picked up the first coat-looking-thing he could find, and it was zippered. He usually only wears that during the fall, when it's just cool not cold, and leaves it unzipped all the time... Bah. Whatever. He'll get back to the apartment soon.]

Then you should at least wear it properly, shouldn't you? Winter may have only just started, but it's still rather cold. [He is so not dropping this.]

...

I still don't like zippers. [Buuut he'll work with the zipper to wear it properly. And he makes a face, because he can't get it to zip up at first. ARGH THIS IS EXACTLY WHY HE HATES THEM.]

[...]

[Come on, Luke, you're smarter than the zipper. Ion takes a step closer.]

Would you like some help?

[As soon as Ion takes a step, Luke turns away. Oh, pride.]

No, it's okay. [And after a few more tugs, he FINALLY CONQUERS IT. HA. He zips it up to the top, then stuffs his hands in the pockets and looks at Ion with narrowed eyes.]

Happy?

[Aww, don't look at him like that! Ion's just going to smile back at him.]

Yes, very. Now isn't that better than just holding it closed?

I guess so...

[He smooths a hand over the zipper, that frown still staying on his face. He feels kind of uncomfortable, actually.]

I don't see how you can wear all that stuff.

I don't have much of a choice, I'm afraid. It never usually snowed in Daath, so I'm not used to very cold temperatures. [Plus he doesn't have a zipper complex like Luke.]

Actually, it's still a little too cold out here even though I'm wearing all of this...

Then why don't we go somewhere else for a while? Back to your place, or something. [Probably not his apartment, since Mewtwo's kind of having... a dilemma, and he's not sure if he wants other people to see him like that.]

[Poor, poor Mantwo.]

Actually, I was just on my way back home now. [Pretend he's been holding a few books under his arm this whole time, okay.] Nephry usually makes hot chocolate on cold days, so perhaps we could have some to warm ourselves back up?

Hot chocolate...? Yeah, sure! I haven't had any for a while... [And he LOVES hot chocolate. omg. In fact, he'll already start heading off.]

[Plus it's not just any hot chocolate, it's Nephry's hot chocolate. It's like the best in the world!]

[So Ion just smiles and walks alongside him until they get to House One. It's much warmer inside compared to how chilly it is today. And sure enough, there's a pot of hot chocolate being kept warm on the stove when they get there.]

Would you like me to pour you a cup, Luke? [He's gonna head over there anyway because OMIGOD SOMETHING HOT TO DRINK.]

[Luke gives a few extra shivers once he gets inside and rubs his arms up and down. Even though they're inside now, he still has to get the chills out... But he smiles and gives a nod to Ion.]

Of course! [And while Ion goes to the kitchen, Luke heads to the couch to sit and wait. Ah, he's already warming up a little...]

[Once he's got two cups of nice, hot cocoa poured into mugs, he'll join Luke on the couch, handing him his cup before setting his down on the coffee table so he can take off his coat. And maybe one or two of his sweaters. Seriously, he probably just shrank like 10 sizes right now.]

[Of course, that just means the cocoa is very much appreciated once he's finally settled down and drinking.] Mmm, that's much better.

[Yeah, he has to stare at Ion for a second after he sheds all those sweaters before he gets to his own hot chocolate. Mmm. Hot, delicious drinks make everything better.]

Mmm, yeah... I need to get hot chocolate packets next time I'm out. Maybe I can get Asch into them...

[Don't be hatin', bro!! He gets cold, okay. He can't help it.]

You know you're always welcome to stop by and have some here. Though I guess it is a little out of the way...

Are you kidding? I love stopping by! [It's a loooot better than just having Asch for company.] I need to do it more often... You guys have a fireplace and everything!

I wouldn't be opposed to that. It's always so nice seeing you, Luke.

[Only Ion can say this with a straight face.]

The House always feels so much warmer when everyone's here... and it doesn't seem right to call this "home" without you here as well.

Eh... heh...

[GOD ION stop being one of the only boys who can make him blush.]

I wouldn't really... go that far. I mean, it always sounds like it's nice here even when I'm not there.

[~~Nope, never gonna stop.~~]

That doesn't mean it isn't still better when you're around, Luke.

[Total sincerity, right here.]

Naaah...

[He rubs the back of his head. Right, on to something else!]

Have you ever tried this stuff with marshmallows? [The hot chocolate, anyway.]

Marshmallows? [Staaaare.] Don't you think it's already sweet enough on it's own?

It's pretty sweet already, but marshmallows just make it even more awesome! They're little ones, so it's not like it's too sweet...

[He sets his hot chocolate down on the table to look back at the kitchen.] Hey, do you have any in the kitchen? You've got to try it!
