Chapter Text
Roxas can't believe it. He seriously couldn't believe it. He's one of the first few people who are able to acquire Xion kingdomheart's bath water. He craddles the jar in his small hands. His thumb turning over the lid to snap it open. He makes sure to do this very slowly. He wants to cherish every moment in tasting the bath water.
Yes. Tasting. As in not the drinking kind. But the eating kind. He does not want to waste this holy water with just drinking it once. No.
He was going to boil it. Well, boil sausages in it to be more precise. But he won't throw the water out after boiling it.
He's going to keep it in the jar and continue to use it to boil food like pastas for example.
He went over to the kitchen and poured the bath water inside the pot. He turned on the fire and wait for little bubbles to emerge into the water.
Afterwards, he put his sausages into the pot and wait for the sausage to soak all of the water's flavors.
He taps his fingers furriously on the kitchen counter. come on come on come on.
He looked up to see the clock and it has only been 3 minutes. It felt so long to wait 3 minutes knowing what will come soon. No. I have to be patient Roxas told himself. He wants this to be worth the wait.
5 minutes later, he turned off the fire and brings in a pan. He buttered the now-sea salt soap scented-flavored sausages. Inhaling the sweet scent.
He put butter into the pan and puts it on top of the stove. Then he turned on the fire.
This will probably take even longer than say-
Boiling the sausages. He has to be strong. If he can wait for about a few days for the package to arrive, he sure as hell can stand a few minutes of just cooking the sausages, right?
hahahahahahaha hA
No.
It was easy before because the bath water wasn't here yet. With it being here now. He barely has any self-control and willpower anymore. He glanced to his side, seeing a jar of perfect, warm gamer girl bath water. It's looks so warm, so tasty, so perfect. Just waiting there. Maybe he didn't have to wait. He could just drink it now.
Roxas shook his head and snapped out of his trance. No. He needs to wait. Just a little more.
As if it was on cue, the sausages are now done. Roxas does not have the self control to bring a plate to put those on to. So he just grabs a knife and a fork.
He delicately stabbed the sausage with his fork and cuts it slowly with his knife. He brought the cut sausage to his mouth. Taking a long moment to breath in the scent of the goddess that is Xion kingdomhearts. He placed it on his lips and eat it.
He was so shocked that his fork almost fell. This... This taste. It's so. Nostalgic. He doesn't know a word to describe this expirience. It was as if his soul just left his body and is now astral projecting with Xion.
A single tear left his face.
This.
So this is what is means to live.
