“Sora, oh Sora - wakey, wakey!” drowsy, the said brunette came to consciousness by the gentle coaxing of the voice that seemed to strongly resemble that of the pumpkin King; Jack Skellington.
“Jack?” mumbled the teen ruggedly as he fought to sit up, but his body seemed heavier than usual; Heavy and more scratchy. Popping open one deep blue eye, Sora stared into the hallow obsidian depths that made Jack’s (his eyes that is.)
Grinning widely, the pumpkin king pulled back just enough that Sora could glimpse at his surroundings. It was dark and creepy as far as he could tell, but that was to be expected of Halloween town… though, Sora had yet to have ventured - to well wherever he and Jack were at the moment. (The scratchiness he found was the sterling wool blanket draped over him, providing less warmth than irritation.)
“Jack, where are we?” asked the teen, lifting his gloved hands up above his face to examine them. It seemed he really was in Jack’s world, seeing his entire attire seemed to mysteriously change over whenever he dropped by.
“Don’t know exactly” mused the skeleton as he stared at the ceiling in wonderment, “A dungeon perhaps?”
Well that didn’t help much. “You don’t know - but you’re the king of Halloween?” squeaked Sora sitting up at a rate that sent a rush of dizziness spiraling through his skull “Urgh”
“Are you alright, Sora?” the concern in Jack’s voice didn’t go amiss.
“Yeah - you know that feeling you get when you sit up too fast?”
Jack sighed lightly, “No, actually I don’t.” he admitted staring at his fleshless hands quietly. Sora, felt the guilt instantly - especially, because he never thought Jack minded. (Come to think of it - was Jack even dead?)
“Sorry” mumbled the teen sheepishly, but Jack waved it off with a cheesy grin - ghostly and white. (Sora couldn’t shake the feeling that death was smiling at him.)
“It’s quite all right… I’m just glad you’re alright”
Staring at the skeleton in slight shock, Sora beamed back at his friend. That’s right, even if Jack was dead or whatever he was - it didn’t matter; because, Jack had a heart.
