( But there's something else that hits him and it's similar to the feeling he felt when Axel died and Pippa disappeared but this one is more creeping than sudden, )
[It might take a while for the reply as Roxas is currently trying not to panic like crazy. No.. sorry, he's going to switch this to voice mode now. He can't type.]
I'm not going anywhere! I promise I'll come back, okay? I just... I can't come back to the temple for a few days.
( The silence is killing him and he's convinced its because Roxas is gone. He's gone too and that feeling hits him in full. He's sad. he's really, really sad and he just stays miserably in place, ready to wait all over again because just like last time, he has no idea what he's going to do.
When Roxas finally responds, it takes Urashima awhile to respond too. His throat feels tight and he isn't sure if he can speak without that hurting more too. When he finally gets the words to come out, they're quiet and high, )
Promise.
If you don't come back I won't be your friend anymore.
( Because that is literally the worst thing he can think of. He's #pure. )
[He holds the phone away from his face for a moment, sniffling and wiping his eyes. No, he's not crying, you're crying! He's sure to take a deep breath before replying.]
When I come back... why don't we go to Akihabara or something. Just us two. Okay?
[Please. Just. Be happy with the suggestion. Don't make him have to tell you all about how guilty he feels about taking off.]
( Not that Roxas can see but Urashima nods his head in a quiet "yes." )
Mhmm.
( Ugh, he's just going to rub at his eyes and not crying either because he's really strong and brave you know!!! And strong and brave people totally don't cry! He sure doesn't sound happy but at least he sounds a little less upset with the promise. )
You'll be okay? And if... you get in more trouble you'll tell me, right?
[When they're face to face again, Roxas knows he's going to have to hug Urashima and say it's okay to cry. Just like he had Aqua do to him so long ago. Just like people still do even now.]
I will.
[Roxas feels he should add something to this.]
Sora... he's going to be mad at me. He knows you're at my temple, and he might come over and ask where I am. Please don't tell him where I am. Or the other shinki at the temple. What I did was bad enough were I think he's going to hate me for a while.
( But Urashima is awful at hiding secrets so if Sora comes and asks, there's no way Urashima can act like he doesn't know. But!! He'll try his best to keep it. )
Mhmm, mhmm.
( Nodding, nodding, he'll do his best!! )
But... if he's your friend I don't think... he'll hate you...
( Not that he knows? He isn't sure because he can't speak for Sora! But there's a reason why Urashima threatend to stop being friends instead of never forgiving Roxas. Friends forgive each other. )
Uhm... ( As much as he'd like to keep talking, if Roxas is in trouble then maybe it isn't a good idea to take too much of his time so before it's too late to say anything else, he adds, ) I'll wait for you.
( As long as it happens, that's what matters and Urashima is fine with that. As for Roxas' request, he wonders how he can rest when every bit of him just feels on edge now. )

He sighs softly at that.]
I hope you're right.
[Sora is super important to him, so if there is hate, it would crush him. That's something Roxas doesn't think he can recover from.]
... Thanks. I mean it.
[It's been a very long time since someone's said that.]
no subject
I think... I think it's harder to forgive someone who doesn't talk to you.
( Not that he really knows but that's just what he thinks! )
no subject
[Which is true. Maybe in a couple of days...]
Try and get some sleep, okay?
no subject
... Okay.
( But he'll try, still. Because Roxas asked. )
