OOC: Don't know ^^;. We could always edit, I just need to change the Lady part myself. Larxene will go to Vexen either way since is that first or Demyx is dead.
Axel wasn't really sleeping, he just wanted to calm his uneven breathing down, and try to see if he could handle how his throat was burning now, very dry, and itching. He probably did overdue it, and as he coughed hard, placing a hand quickly over his mouth, he opened his eyes knowing he was leaning against Angel, his chest heaving. "Want to leave?" What should have been clear and smoothly sounded like a rough rasp, and it was barely audible, not even close to a whisper. He sighed. Great, he lost his voice.
"Why, thank you, my dear Asassin!" Larxene called out to his back dryly, due to his sudden leave, but at least he answered her question. However, she was a bit confused with what Marluxia had said in the end. Lady Vexen?... Raising her eyebrows in interest to herself, wondering about the name (though Vexen did look like a old geezer in drags with that hair), dark tendrils began to sprout around her, covering her in black completely as she portalled, only to transport to Vexen's lab as it vanished, her eyes searching around for the scientist or any company. Larxene spotted who she was looking for, little Demyx there with a nose problem, then in front was Vexen...with curves? Widening her eyes a little to his back and long locks, she eyed passed him to see...Zexion, as well, but she gaped then at what she saw...there were touching hands. They were actually touching hands...Vexen and Zexion, and not in the friendly manner either. What the hell? Did they turn homo now, and Vexen felt the need to cross-dress to get the heterosexual vibe? Her nose scrunching as if there was a foul smell in the air as her mind tried to get the idea of Vexen and Zexion (the age difference, most of all), she knew that something....well, was obviously off, no matter what it was. So she made her presence known by giving a fake cough, placing her hands on her hips. "Isn't this adorable? The new hit couple."
OOC: My eyes are kind of drooping xP, but the thing we have in Rivals is almost done, I think. Tifa scratch her head, a bit akin to Axel the same way where he's either being sheepish or in thought. "Well...there are different ways to react on different people depending on the situation. I'm guessing, and this is a hypothesis, from what I know so far, is that he stiffens because of the...maybe because of how you are friends, but there's something more there, like he's attracted to you somehow. He wants to ignore this, do you get me? So he gets all tense when you touch him since he might not know what to do, or what might happen. That, and he might think is wrong now that he's doing...whatever him and Larxene are." She eyed her for a second, before waving it off casually. "Then again, that's just my opinion...yet I do wonder on his thoughts for that blonde...did he hinted anything on that when you guys were together?" She thought that by the way Rei was talking they were going out as boyfriend and girlfriend, but that wasn't the case, unfortunately.
Axel breathed a sigh of relief that she didn't lash out at him like he kind of expected, and so this made it easier to explain. Looking around briefly, he glanced at this dimension they were in, before placing his eyes back at hers, beginning gravely. "This...this place is nothing, but your creation. You're dreaming, Reixa, this isn't real. And...even if I did tell you so...I'm not real. I'm the figment of the Axel in your mind, the one you remember and kissed, the one you wanted for yourself and to be with you. This is made of a desire for Him, and what is haunting you at the moment considering his death. That time when I snapped at you for playing with my head...that wasn't really me, and when I was later in pain and suffering. His presence is in me, or is there. I know I should have told you sooner, yet there's also a reason as to why you had to go through this, or why your conscious needed to." Gazing at the floor now, a little in shame, he took his hands of her hold, and straightened up to stand, making sure to stay clear of her face. He had noticed at the corner of his vision that she was close to the edge, however, he didn't do anything. It won't happen anymore. Swallowing tightly, he said regretfully. "I'm sorry..."
"Good then, how, I do not know, but good," Tifa chuckled, leaning against the comfy back rest of the couch as she let herself go to relax. There was one, last thing, she wanted to ask, and that will be what really places this in conclusion. Sighing, she took a more serious turn, looking at Rei thoughtfully, and wondering. "You know...is a bit unethical of me to say this, but how does it feel to...have the one you like kiss someone else the same way he did you?" Pausing, she thought over why she asked, just to be comforted that she reacted in right when Cloud was kissed. She then inquired what she truly wanted to know. So..after all this, where is it that you guys stand?"
OOC: That means I did a good job on the way I wrote how he fell? (I was kind of worried about that xP). Though I thought you knew what was coming ^^;. I know exactly how this is going to end. Axel eyed her from behind calmly, considering how he had to fall, after all, just because you got back on ground, didn't mean you truly couldn't feel the ride and how it felt to really go down...that was nauseating. There...on the earth where his body was suppose to splatter, was nothing but reality...the reality Reixa wasn't in now. But he knew this was a good way to begin the honest truth of all this make-believe, though it pained him to see her crying at the moment. But he finally understood her...everything she had said about her love to him. You heard that, Axel?...I know you did... Stepping forward, a bit anxious to how this whole thing was going to turn out, he walked to her quietly, peering down at her shaking back as she sobbed, and bending his knees to go to her eye level, he grabbed her gloved hands with his as he softly lower them, hearing her sniffing before he caught the sight of her eyes. She would probably be shocked and lost, but letting go quickly, he then pressed his own two hands against her cheeks as he wiped away her tears with his thumbs. Taking them away after a while, seeing her even more horrified expression, he breathed, his tone a bit constrict, "What's with the water works?...I'm here. I know you're probably confused, but let me explain now, okay?..."
OOC: Lol. And you made Rei hugnry too XD. But darn, that sucks. As she heard her words, Tifa confirmed even before Rei questioned if he did it on purpose. Of course he did so intentionally, that wouldn't have been brought up then. She face palmed as she laughed at Axel's audicity, shaking her head. "That sneaky son of a b*tch!" The whole thing was amusing, expected, but she wished she would've been there to see how that worked out. Hearing Rei's offer, she shook her head kindly as her giggles subsided with a smile, raising a hand as to say that she was fine. "I can't believe it...see, that's why you should be more careful when speaking to that guy. He definitely knows, alright, whether he'll ever say it...that's another thing. Unless, you do."
OOC: It did? O_O In what way? And yeah, but the end isn't that near, yet, kind of. He would've been gripped by fright, he was practically dangling with one hand on a root to keep him from facing what would be his second death. But he wasn't scared, anxious, or even...nervous that he was going to die. And even when he heard it snap a little, while it did send a shiver his body wasn't in fear. Listening to Reixa's shout, he simply looked under the forest and valley under him, his eyes taking in the very bottomless descend, the fats wind roaring in his ears as it blowed his fire red hair. After a while, he shifted his green eyes up, to gaze at Reixa's dreaded and horrored ones...and he smiled sadly. He thought to himself that it was better that way, and hehad something set in his mind that would make her realize the truth. So, when she held out her hand for him, he shook his head, his expression blank. "No...it's too late for me, Reixa....understand that I'm already dead, you can't help me at the moment..." He heard the root snap even more, and he felt himself lower, only for him to shake his head bitterly. "Swear to me that you won't get scared of what I'm about to do, alright?" He waited awhile to eye her on what he said, to her reaction, and taking in a deep breath, flickering his eyes, he let his hold go, the same feeling that he had felt just moments ago overtaking his body, but this time ten fold as he cascaded earthward in a spiraling fall, sending him into a nerve wracking sensation, his eyes watching as everything rushed past him in different colors, Reixa's face blurred from now high up....and he closed them.
OOC: That would've been creepy, but it would also be annoying since you're like "Yay, light's back!", only for it to go off again xDD. Frozen food xD. Oh man, now you made me crave for something... "Well, my opinion is that he did. The points were obvious. From my deduction, so to speak, , I guess it started from where I slipped up, and I kind of...mentioned my fight with you in one conversation that night. I guess due to what Cloud said, it sent him into suspicion, so from there, he...," Tifa stopped her explanation there, not knowing what else happened so she could continue what she guessed Axel did. If he didn't tell her, than it was apparent he wanted to keep it, so that perhaps meant he must have weaseled something in one of their conversations, because Rei admitted that she told Axel of her aura. "Did he mention anything that had to do our fight, or power? Anything like that? Is that when, you know, you told him of auras?"
OOC: Lol xP. Still, even if he ended up dead, he still fought for them, that's just the same as if they were real. Axel was startled some tears in her eyes, as he didn't expect his words to hit so hard. Most of the information, like the one with the Struggle tournament, he didn't even know, but after the head ache, he seemed to remember what his true self saw, and experienced, almost like it was done on purpose fo rhis sight. He didn't expect her also to be in pain over this, but the shock really came when she outwardly admitted her love for him. When she began telling him why she liked him, usually, he basked in the compliments and praises, hsi ego rising, but this time, he didn't really care. Even her trauma after his death panged him when heard from her mouth, listening as she went as far as losing her control. That's why Axel was thrown off when she suddenly said that she and Larxene fought over him...and honestly, while she won the fight, Larxene won that battle as Axel loved the blonde senseless, and despite not being real, he did feel guilty that he's making a person go through all this for him, only to end up with nothing of what she wanted. Seeing her on the ground and their proximity, he moved slightly forward, as so did his legs, and encircled his arms around her body, giving her a meaningful hug as he dug his face into her shoulder blade, not knowing that his actions were the final straw in the edge that was keeping him from falling. If she had admitted everything, so will he. "I also have things to say...Reixa, this isn't what you think, this is a-" However, he didn't get to finish as he suddenly felt his legs stretch as a loud crack resided in the air, and his breath caught in his throat when he was driven away downward from the embrace, and knowing by instinct, let her go as he began to fall down, his stomach going up his throat at the feeling. As a gasp escaped his lips, the shock to prevent him from going to the pits below as survival of the fittest, made him go for a grab...somewhere or to something...and as his eyes saw brown earth as he dropped, his hand managed to clasp unto something rough and thick, its surface prickly, that made him bounce up and down a little as it supported him, making him quickly guess that it was a root he was hanging unto.
OOC: Let's just say he didn't then, it wouldn't do good searching (and I was, but I got tired ^^; ). I think they didn't, so let's keep it that way, I guess.
OOC: Sure thing, sure thing.
OOC: I think Axel and Rei did talk about it...didn't she apologize for it in the dance or something? o.O When they had "serious talk" xP. "I think you told me, yes, or else I wouldn't understand how you spied on him and Larxene. You explained it me after that, but I'm sure I'm aware of it, since I told Cloud about it too. And our first fight...I kind of was suspicious, since it seemed you were predicting my moves," Tifa replied, quite surprised that she was already forgetting some events, but in her opinion, Axel must have figured it out. Counting her slip up, then Cloud's, and Rei's telling him of her aura, he's obviously going to put two and two together, he wasn't dense. Either that, or he kept it to himself. "Are you sure he didn't say anything? If not then, I'm positive he knows and just won't tell..." Then again, maybe being spied would've made him angry, so perhaps he didn't mention anything on the matter? Because pissed off Axel is easy to remember.
OOC: How about water? xD He'll need it... As he sang the chorus, that was broken, while his voice was tired, he still kept it up sounding the same with force, and as his favorite part came, he jumped off the stage for the hell of it, and headed to Xangel, sitting next to her while putting a arm around her shoulder, all the while swaying them. "Health insurance, rip off lying, F.D.A. big bankers buying, fake computer crashes dining, cloning while they're multiplying, fashion shoots with Beck and Hanson, Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson, you're all fakes, run to your mansions, come around, we'll kick your A**ES!!!" And it was there he slumped his head on her arm suddenly as he closed his eyes, out of breath, not even saying the "oh, oh"s that followed. Okay...that's enough of karaoke...
Axel kept singing the song perfectly, surprisingly, even hitting the high notes, though he knew his throat was going to hurt for a while. When he passed the chorus, then the next verse, and singing the chorus again with some othe rverses, there was a break, and he took the time to catch his breath there, as he's also been jumping around and moving. There's was a tiny other verse to flow with that came next, and soon the chorus was coming, and he placed the mic back close to his mouth. "Now say you're miiiiiiiiiiiiiine, you got the music in you!! Don't let go, you got the music in you, one dance left, this world is gonna pull through! Don't give up, you've got a reason to live! Can't forget, we only get what we give, don't let go, I feel the music in you...." At this, Axel knew he won't be speaking for awhile as he took in breath for the high notes of high notes. "Fllyyyyy hiiiiiiigh, what's reeeeeeeeal, can't diiiiiiiiiie!!" Ow...but at least I suceeded...
OOC: It is You're Beautiful xP. Since I can't choose what Axel can sing, since I was watching Click (Adam Sandler, yo xD), I decided to use the song in the credits ^^;. You Get What You Give Axel knew the song well, so the way to sing it was on his mind and was printed, so that was something good to sing. So, he pressed play to New Radical's You Get What You Give, and set his eyes on the screen in front of him as the music intro started, seeing the little dots being higlighted to show when is time to sing the words. He was going to sing this well, like the real live singer the most he could, even the tone of and voice, though still keeping his own, and so he payed attention. He placed the mic close to his mouth, "Uh!...wa...wa...wa...wa...wa, one, two, one, two, three, OW!" Axel chuckled a little, because he truly shouted it out, before the really lyrics started few seconds after, sticking his tongue out at Angel. "Wake up kids, we got the dreamer's disease. Age fourteen, they got you down on your knees. So polite, we're busy still saying pleeease. Frenemies, who when you're down ain't your friend..."
Axel sighed once again, checking more titles out, and he decided for something serious, instead of something like...That's The Way I Like It. He was obviously not going to sing Cry Me A River, or 50 Cent's Candy Shop, or...James Blunt? "You're beautiful, you're beautifful, you're beautiful is true...." Of course, he sang that under his breath in a forced squeaky tone, joking around, but after that a song caught his eyes. "Perfect!"
OOC: True, but think of it this way. The only one she truly spoke to and spend time with were Axel and Naminé. You two didn't speak, Shigiku just simply saw you, and that wasn't really a memory loss, I guess. She could just see and meet you again. Then this time, she can get to know Angel. Axel sighed as he grabbed the mic, rolling his eyes skyward at her still pissed off attitude. It wasn't bad, and he was sure she was starting to figure that out too. Walking to the stage, and going up the stairs, he went to the machine, and began browsing for song, still not knowing what to pick. Something serious, or just one for fun? "Do you think I should sing Move Along?" he asked blindly, trying to choose as he looked at titles. "And stop being so grumpy, you're ruining the mood."
OOC: Yeah...but is more that my mom understands my worshipping of some male characters xD, and we have the same taste, I guess. And yeah, T, he's just a lost little boy T.T.
