Chapter 4: bad impressions, Good intentions.
Three days later found Roxas buckled into a dark green Pick-up truck. Mickey had buckled him into the seat 20 minutes ago and was now talking to Aerith who was placing box after box of Sora's old cloths into the bed of the truck, along with Roxas' gardening box and planter.
Mickey had made the mistake of mentioning being broke to her at breakfast and now she was determined to make sure that Roxas had enough clothes. Mickey had mumbled "she's violently helpful." To his friend with the big nose who owned the truck.
A taping noise brought Roxas out of his dazed watching of Aerith with a flinch. He turned to the window to see Sora smiling at him from behind the glass. Roxas smiled back at him as he opened the door. "Here, don't want to forget this." Sora plopped Roxas' rabbit in his lap. Roxas squealed and clutched the rabbit to his chest. "Thank you Sora." He said choppily
"Welcome, buddy." He stood there awkwardly staring at his shoes until Roxas poked him in the forehead "What's wrong?" he asked.
Sora hesitated for a moment but then coughed into his fist before saying "Look, even though you don't live here anymore, I don't want you to think that you can't come see us some time. I'm sure that if you asked, Mickey would bring you to come see us. I'd uh… Like to see you again, when your better I mean, But even if you never remember that's ok… I'd…Still like to see you." Roxas tilted his head at Sora's babbling.
"I won't forget." Roxas said misinterpreting "remember" but Sora didn't catch it. They smiled and talked a bit more before Sora gave Roxas a piece of paper with his phone number and address on it. "Just in case." He said and watched as Roxas tucked it away under his bunny's collar.
Shortly after Mickey was shooing Sora away from the truck so that he could get in next to Roxas. "Hay baby, sorry it took so long." He said as he smoothed down Roxas' hair. Roxas smiled up at him. "S'ok" he said and waved at Sora threw the window. The driver side door opened up next and the big nosed man with a tall brown hat slid in next to Roxas too. "Hiya sport ready to go home?" he asked Roxas knitted his eyebrows together and pointed back at Sora's house. Mickey chuckled. "No, that's not home. Were going somewhere else now…But it's not too far." Mickey added quickly when Roxas' eyes widened.
As the big nosed man backed out of the Leonheart's driveway Roxas began flipping the ears of his Bunny back and forth "Where?" He asked
"Just a few blocks." Mickey said
"What's a Blocks" Roxas asked
It's a way to measure distance." Mickey answered unsure if Roxas would understand.
He didn't "What's Distance?" he asked
"How far something is from something else." Mickey answered before looking up and pointing at a large blue mailbox. "That blue box is one Block from Sora's house." he said then looked down at Roxas who watched the item transfixed as Goofy stopped in front of it.
Roxas scrunched his brow. Mickey sighed. "It's alright Roxas" he said as Goofy started driving again. "You don't have to understand that yet."
However about a minute later Roxas pointed to a street light and said. "That lamp is one block away from the box...and two away from Sora's house." Mickey's eyes widened as he realized that, not only, yes, the street light was a full block from the box but that Roxas had done the math using deductive reasoning to get two blocks from Sora's house.
Roxas' brow creased again in worry. "Is that wrong?" he asked Mickey shook his head absently then with more vigor as his senses returned to him. "No, No baby that was completely right. Amazing even! Good job Sweetheart." he ruffled Roxas' hair affectionately.
Roxas giggled and continued to name each block they passed and how many blocks away from every other thing that marked a block. Mickey could only stare in wonderment as the blond did amazing things.
He wasn't even thrown off when Mickey had goofy slow down or speed up. 'this is amazing!' he thought 'absolutely incredible' he watched as Roxas' eyes flitted back and forth on the road with an analyzing gaze and he pointed out the ninth block they passed. 'How?'
Goofy turned the car down there desired street and pulled into the drive way of Donald's little white house. "...that's not a full block. How far is this from the rainbow lights?" Roxas asked
"Umm..." Mickey looked back at the traffic lights that Roxas had indicated earlier. "about one forth of a block." just then the door to Mickey's side of the truck flung open and Roxas spied a silver blur and a pair of liquid lightning blue eyes before he was grabbed by the arms and pulled over Mickey's lap. "Well, let's see him then." and rough high pitched voice said as Roxas' feet touched solid ground again.
When Roxas' vision stopped swimming he saw a small silver haired man tilting his head to the side. He didn't like the way the man was looking at him. With a heard stare the made Roxas' face hot. He sniffled and turned to search for his source of comfort
"M'key" he whined as he flung himself at the raven who had just hopped out of his seat. "Oomph! What's wrong?"
Roxas only trembled in his arms and sniffled again. Mickey turned a heated glare on Donald. "Way to go Don, you've officially made the worst first impression ever."
"How was I supposed to know he scarred so easy, he's supposed to fight heartless for crying out loud!" Donald shouted loudly offended at being accused.
"He a baby and should be treated like one!" Mickey shouted back
"You're making it worse." Goofy's calm voice said from the sidelines, indicating a now heavily baling Roxas who was sobbing into Mickey's shirt.
"oops." they both said together. Mickey began robbing Roxas' back and whispering soothing words into his ear.
As Roxas calmed he felt his eyes get heavier until he couldn't keep them open and he fell asleep there in Mickey's arms in the middle of the driveway.
Roxas' eyes drifted open a few hours later and he found himself in a large soft bed with a large black and white puffy comforter and a pillow that his head pleasantly sunk into.
He cuddled further into the worm sheets and prepared himself to go back to sleep in the nice worm bed. Until he realized one earth shattering factor.
Mickey wasn't in it.
With that realization he let out a loud blubbery and completely heartbreaking wail. The last time this happened Mickey didn't come back until he had woken up a second time. He didn't like waking up to no Mickey.
Within seconds he found himself warped in a tight embrace and his hair was being petted down with warm gentle hands. "It's ok Roxas I'm here. Don't cry."
"I think you spoil him too much" Donald said from the entrance of the room. "And that's why he can't stand to be away from you. You need to feed him to the wolves. Throw him out there and force him to make friends. That's what my mom did to me."
"Wasn't your mom a drug addict?" Goofy asked from his spot next to the silveret.
"Details" Donald flipped his hand dismissively.
Mickey rolled his eyes as his two friends bickered. "I think I spoil him just the right amount." he said and cuddled Roxas closer to him. "Besides not all parents want to get rid of their kids as soon as possible." He pointed an accusing finger at Donald. "You'd probably brake down crying if the boys up and decided to leave you."
Donald turned away with a blush on his cheeks. "That's different." he said "My boys are grown up enough to know that they can live without me. Roxas needs to learn that. That's why he's getting his own room AND! I don't want to hear another word about it" he gave force to the "and" to interrupt anything Mickey might say in protest.
Donald's blush grew a little deeper "Besides, since he's technically a baby." Donald fiddled with his index fingers. "It kind means that... we're razing him... together...right?"
Mickey felt his face heat up at the indication of the sentence. but he supposed that since they were living under Donald's roof and Roxas would be learning a lot from Donald, that yes they were Kinda razing him together "Yeah." He breathed
Shaking himself out of his embarrassment Donald turned on his heel to face the two boys on the bed. "That means I get a say in how he's treated, and I say he needs to learn to be on his own..." he said until he saw the teary eyes of the little blond. "Starting next week." he gave in to the watery blue eyes of...his new baby.
He approached the small blond and held out a hand. "Hi I'm Donald." he said soothingly "And I'm going to help look after you ok? We'll make a great family and I'll make sure you don't grow up to be a wimp like your daddy."
"Hay!"
"Daddy?" Roxas looked at Mickey then back at Donald. Then with big happy eyes and a wide smile he launched himself at Donald proclaiming "Mama!"
The silveret blushed at the title but caught the bouncing blond and after a while smiled and hugged him back. "Sure, Why not." he said glancing at Mickey then looking away when he felt he face heating up.
Family, Roxas had learned about this on the TV...
He held out a hand to Mickey with the other still wrapped around Donald's neck
If Mickey and Donald were to take care of him and love him...
He hugged them both together and laughed loudly filled with joy for reasons he didn't know
Then they must be Mama and Daddy...
They must be...
Right?"
A/N
I know that now Donald seemed mean but he's a little jealous of Roxas getting all of Mickey's attention. Plus his mother was a crack addict so he honestly thought that that was how you handled babies
