Axel felt disappointment when those words were finally uttered, not to mention the tension was so thick right now, he could even feel himself being disclosed and cornered. It could've been worse though, so he did have to count his blessings, despite the anxiety not yet leaving. He nodded at her in understanding, before boldly grabbing the dangled straps of her halter dress, as he got closer, but not enough that would make her edgy. His hands went around her neck as he begin to tie a tight knot to hold the upper bodice and chest in place. When he was done, he just listlessly took them away, wistfully wanting her touch, knowing he can't have it now. After a while, he muttered quietly, already knowing the answer. "Can't you stay? The patrols are out now, and you might get caught...you perhaps can get into trouble, unless you think you could make it..." Riku just simply wiggled a index finger in her face teasingly, guding her inside the place to begin looking, and not waste any more time. It was already late as it is. "No reason to be confused, think on it. There's only one thing you use a bathing suit for or a...." At this, he sent her a wink. "Bikini..."
OOC: Axel's hanging by a thin thread with Larxene having the scissors, that's what's happening xP (she's finding out about the Rei stuff). Rei herself and Tifa are chatting about anything, from Axel, to family, to pasts. I didn't write Riku yet, so I will now. Riku began to portal them out as he got Sharix's okay, hoping that the shop his mom use to go to will save the plans he had hoped for. He honestly should've thought this beforehand when they were in school to pack a few small things, but he didn't want to spoli Sharix from the beginning either. As the darkness dispersed, the wisps around their bodies fading, they were right side to side with the store, away from people's eyes, and he stared at it, relieved as it was open. OPEN. Yes! He looked at Sharix proudly, coming out of the hiding place. "It's open! Now, let's see if you can pick out a nice bathing suit..."
Larxene felt her eye twitch irritatingly as she stared down jaggedly at Zexion, her rosy lips treading a thin-line. He wasn't truly going to play innocent, was he? And if he does, unless she was stopped with a effective weapon or power, this Organization was going to be one member short. Narrowing her blue eyes at him venomously, she spoke saccharinely, betraying her real mood. "Oh, I'm not full of myself, you know very well what you were doing, the moment I came in, and when you were looking at a 'room full of strangers', you lingered on me than most. Besides that, I'm not the one smirking thinking I'm smooth. So turn your attention back to Vexen, would you?" With that, she turned her eyes away with one last glower.
Axel felt something flutter down into his stomach in a ache at the way she was speaking and acting, when just moments she was so warm towards him. The difference between the two felt like a slap in the face, and he hoped...that this would somehow end well. Sighing, he stared at her apprehensively, yet with honesty in a every fiber she was seeing. "Listen, that's all I need you to do, alright?" He eyed her cryptically for a moment, before beginning. "Before, even us, Rei was kind of touching me sometimes, and I kind of tensed up, since...I feel uncomfortable, she's my friend, you know, especially now since I have you. I figured out sooner or later that she liked me, is not like she tried to hide it. Also at the dance.....we kissed, but it was an accident. Angel, the girl I mentioned before, bumped into us while we were slow dancing, and...well. It was simply lips touching....yet I gave her a real kiss, just as a gift of parting, of some sort, so she won't feel so upset and down when I tell her the truth that it just doesn't run that deep, or even deep. She's still my friend, and the last thing I want to do is hurt her, because I do care for her, just like I care for you, Tifa, and Roxas. We talked and sorted things out, and it remains we're close friends and she understands. Also, today..we...are kind of going to the beach...as friendly outing, only. I even did this with Tifa, and she's madly in love with Cloud...you've met him, I think. I don't know if she'll take it differently, but at this point, it doesn't matter to me..." For the first time, since the explanation, he looked down briefly, not believing he's admitting everything, and trying hard not to see her expression anymore. Only later did he raised them up again to eye her, regretfully. "I know what I did was wrong, and I'm sorry. But trust me when I say you're the one I have feelings for, and attraction is just a passing phase. Hell, you can even sent a spy, or go after us when we leave, nothing will happen. Not ever. You would probably doubt me, and I don't blame you, but if it comes down to it...I will prove myself to you..."
At first, Larxene wasn't sure if she was seeing Vexen's face correctly, but when it was obvious he...she was giving her a look, a actual look of envy, she just blinked once. It was only a few seconds after that Larxene stared back at her unbelievably, but not without a slice of a dirty look along the way. The fact that Vexen thought she had a reason to be jealous, even competition...was humorous at best, considering that this wasn't the true Zexion in the first place. And was she seriously taking this female role to heart...or no heart? Is it a side-effect? Then again, Vexen was having no problem flirting back with him, or responding to his attention...did she lose sight of the fact that she was truthfully a male? You've got to be kidding me... Larxene rolled her eyes skyward at the new situation, but like hell she was going to leave. Despite she getting into this, it was fun, plus, it might irk Miss Vexen, that was enough to stay. She halted from rolling her eyes again at their lovely caresses, and gave a brief warning, burning glare at Zexion for his new...player persona, and his constant looking at her, which won't result well if he kept doing it. Scoffing, she crossed her arms as well. "Don't worry, Vexy, he's all yours. Not interested...though if you want him, tell him to stop staring at me." It was just like females, except for her (she didn't think highly of men). Place the eye on the girl instead of the guy that is doing the damage.
OOC: Awww, that's fanart :3. And no, it's the part of Axel. And, yikes, whoa. He closed his eyes a bit to await her reaction, but once he felt her hands drive him away, his insides sank in a glorius tumble of...what was it? Fret? Fear? The actually fear of her leaving? Opening them, he listened to her talk sadly, making him feel ashamed, but when she really got up, he jumped and sat upright, immediately, quickly trying to explain himself as he got hold of her wrist, secure and tight, gazing at her back intensely, though he hoped he heard the honesty in his voice. "It wasn't like that. We really were just playing video games, even Angel was there for a moment before she had to leave. I even admit...that she hugged me, but nothing happened, just a hug, I swear to you, Larxene. Listen. I'm being completely honest here..." He sighed as he breathed fast, feeling his constricted heart antsy...but there was more, and he didn't think he could manage keeping it to himself. That, and the outing that he and Rei decided to go to, that was the obvious...he had to explain, it's worse if she finds out by herself...and hopefully, she'll understand...that it wasn't the same. It isn't the same. "Please, sit down...we really have to talk..." Tifa listened with open ear intently at her every word, until the very end, and it was her turn to peer sadly, and sorrowfully at her. They both had many heartbreaking past it seems, and she never knew her and her brother were so close. But the casuality at the finish made her think that Rei was over it...not over it, but at least not thinking and moving on, just like her. It seemed they had some things in common. Smilling at her sadly, she tapped her hand in comfort, before pulling it away. "I never knew that about you...then again, I don't think I even know Axel that well, and sometimes, I can't figure out Cloud either. But...you have to promise me one day...that I have to meet, Willie." She stuck out her tongue, trying to liven up the now gloomy atmosphere.
OOC: I see ^^. He's got to play it more innocent though, he's a guy xDD. And chula, did you get the hint on what Tifa said? Tifa shook her head, not at all offended. This was a friend, and she knew Rei didn't mean it that way or to be hurtful. Yet, remembering...was hard. Sighing again, he eyed her a bit depressingly, before beginning lowly, "Well, Midgar is a big, polluted city, divided in sectors. There's nothing wrong with it, really, I had a bar there. And...there's even a guy called Reno, who could pass off as Axel's twin brother..or simply brother. Even the same, rare, hair color. And they both have tattoos, though Reno's are red, and around the corner of his eyes. That, and his said eyes are blue, much older...he's a Turk, that's part of the government system there, think of secret agents...there's even one girl that looks like Larxene, weird enough..." She looked down at her lap for a little, her fingers wringing with each other. "It's a bit of a long story and hard to explain...and I had a father...but he passed away...he was actually murdered."
So it was a experiment that turned Vexen this way? It was the most plausible, of course, but how it ever happened was beyond her. Was there even a cure? Larxene eyed everyone in the room cryptically, watching as Demyx suddenly slept...looks more passed out, which was perfect. Maybe she'll get to place him in a room to frightened the guts out of him...even if it was by accident, she still got wet...though waiting until Demyx got back to his real age was very tempting. No need to deal with little kid screams or crying...well, she didn't know about the crying. Hearing the two components speak, she raised a eyebrow as Vexen went to feel his forehead, and the smile...heh. She caught Zexion briefly staring at her more closely when his eyes shifted, hearing him as it finally dawned on Larxene about what was wrong with him. So now, Vexen was a female, and Zexion doesn't remember...them, or perhaps everything. Not only that, this Schemer was a bit of cruiser, looking at her, then going back to the other blonde to flirt. Finding a place to sit on a vacant chair close to them, she walked to it and sat down the second she reached it, crossing her legs flauntly. Since she had nothing better to do, why not stay and see? Speaking as if bored, looking at her gloved fingers in indifference, she asked, "So, Zexion here has amnesia, or is it short term memory loss?"
OOC: Eek! Axel felt himself stopped breathing for that one moment, like his respiratory system literally halted functioning in that second, and the grip of anxiousness took a hold of him. Of all the questions to ask...she had to ask this one? He let out a breath, his brain rapidly thinking of what to say, or do....he could easily say no, but that wasn't fair to her. And his reaction itself would serve his deception as false, Larxene was sharp as well. Shutting his eyes, he reluctantly lifted himself up a bit from her body, turning to her side softly, as his arm draped over her waist. Looking at her, he could see the top apart of the dress loose, ready for his taking...and eyeing her neck, he could spot the remants of the hickey he gave her on their time in the roof, the cover up fading a bit away by now. Swallowing tightly as he tried to process what to say, he sighed, before explaining quietly, his arm gripping her tighter...just in case, "I wouldn't...call it interest, exactly...she's a attractive girl and..." He winced inwardly, though he did have to tell her, his voice lost a bit of its strength, however. Come on, Axel.... "I'm kind of...attracted to her...like the desire attraction. But is nothing deep or anything else other than that, I know....besides, at the dance we talked it over, seriously, and I semi-rejected her...the best I could as to not hurt her feelings...that's what the semi is for..."
OOC: Lol xD. Personally, I really liked this piece of the RP, it was...I don't know, awesome :D! And I got to play Axel, again, yay! (though not no more...but it was cool). I'm going to call it...The Dream xP. And is good you're trying to reply now, since Nymph is on and all...
Taking all that Rei was saying in, she nodded, before lifitng the pillow with all her might, and lurched it right at the side of her face on the soft side as a last word, because before she was using the edges sometimes. Huffing mockingly in pride, she placed the pillow down, and sat back to relax, clearing her throat as she began to sooth her uneven breathing nad heart beat. "Oh man, listening to the wet and glistening and shiny takes my mind back to Cloud. And to think, despite him being lanky, Axel does have a bod. Think you saw it at the pool...abs, triceps, muscles...uh-huh. He's fit. By the way, do you mean the weinus, weinus, or the weinus that everyone might think it means?" She wiggled her eyebrows, before sighing peacefully, though turning wistful and a bit sad at the talk of house and families, and after awhile of silence, she spoke again. "I don't live here, I live in a place called Midgar, but you could say I moved. As for Axel, he was born here, but his parents moved to what is now known as Radiant Garden, then they moved back to Twilight Town either in fourth or sixth grade...I think it was sixth, and that's where he met Roxas. He has a mother and father....I saw them once...but...oddly, they look nothing like him...I mean, his mother has brown hair, and hazel eyes, while his father has ebony hair like yours and blue eyes. Though I might not remember well...it was a long time ago...I just noticed they didn't have anything similar...."
OOC: A story that will never leave anyone lips, or rather Axel's, but will embarass Roxas to no end xP. Axel caught the hopeful expression, glittering in her eyes and face, but he didn't need to shake his head solemnly, in fact, he wasn't going to say anything at all. Getting his hand out of her grasp, he simply looked at her, and let out a breath at what he had to do. This was calming and relaxing, but this couldn't last forever either. His face turning sternly, his smile converted into a thin-line as he spoke to her, needing her to understand this carefully. "I told you have to wait. For your forgiveness. But that's not all, you need to trust my words right now...and keep this in mind, that you'll be fine. It's going to be alright. Down there...where you fall of the edge, is reality, and that's where you need to go right now. But...I thank you for the good time despite the seriousness and all..." His visage became the mix of bittersweet, and he felt something constrict within him, but he knew that it's better to do it now. Quickly, he grasped her shoulders, and spun her around so she'll be straight in front of him, ignoring the confusion once more. Unknowingly, she was stuck here, and like a dream, you couldn't wake up normally, that said, he didn't feel like explaining either. His face moving forward to hers, he slowly went to bend down her ear, whispering sultrily and sexily in a imitation of the real one. "Wake up." And with that, he suddenly pushed her off roughly, and he saw guiltily as she toppled backwards and began to drop in thin air...and he smiled when their eyes connected, his confidence shining through, as a last remembrance that it would be okay. He would've asked her to jump....but then that would kind of take the experience and fun out of it, wouldn't it? Besides....she'll just wake up. Smirking slightly to himself as he saw her tiny figure now, even if he wanted to somehow reach for her...his body felt airy...and when he gazed downward to his hands, he saw them turning transparent as he was starting to disappear, as well as the rest of his 'flesh'....and he sighed. Now...here it ends... See ya, Spitfire... OOC: Had to make him a bit sadistic here...xD.
"What the hell?!" Tifa chortled with mirth at Rei's abrupt weird word that she spilled out now, only to smack her again with the pillow after giving her a look to say she was crazy, giggling a little. Bonking her on the side, now out of breath more than ever, she gave her a confident sway. She didn't mind her mentioning Cloud, because he was hers...really. Yuffie is a annoying pest. "Where did that come from?! And, oh!! I could imagine that! You know why, because we'll actually be doing something. I can touch him, feel him, get lost in him...and what about you? Hmmmm?" Weakly striking the pillow on her leg, she calmed down, only to eye Rei slyly. "Don't tell me you have never wanted or dreamed of a experience like that, with Axel, all passionate and the kisses that he brings to your body. But you did touch his weinus...though I'm not gonna fall for the fact of what everyone might think it means."
OOC: That does sound cool, but it isn't that xP. Axel smirked for a moment, thinking of Larxene headbutting with their leader, but it was finally dawned on him, that it was time...though he still felt very comfortable, but if they kept going.... sighing, his eyes that never left her face gazed at her, and he slowly brought his hand up, placing it on her cheek gently, as he lifted his head a little. Moving her face to his side more, he leaned down leisurely, closing his eyelids as he grabbed her lips in his again for a brief kiss as he move them with hers in a manner of seconds, only to pull away, yet not taking his hand away as he smiled. He shut his eyes again, as he let the nagging feeling of something building inside overtake him, and then he was speaking like a puppet. "Tell Roxas to stop being a dumba**, that it wasn't his fault, and I don't blame him, I could never. The fact that he stayed up to protect me is enough loyalty and friendship that he's shown. Nothing's perfect, and he tried. If he doesn't believe you that I said this, tell him of the day in Traverse Town and the bathroom, he'll get it. And tell that damn Buggy....that I love her, and I miss her...and to stop being reckless, it won't change anything...she'll probably blow you off completely, but tell her that she's still the Proof Of My Existence..." Then there was a pause as he felt some kind of chill, and getting control, he opened his eyes again, and he finally freed his touch from her and backed away a little, but not fully. He understood how this was happening, a connection of some sort...on the real Axel's thoughts, or what used to be. This was because they were the same people, only...in a different form of existence...at least he thought so. "That's when you go back...do it as a favor. As for you...you have to wait...."
OOC: OMG, it turned green xD! That was cool. I was like all confused, and I was doing it, then I saw the printing on the white. Tifa quickly grabbed her own pillow in a fast motion, and knowing Rei was going to block, she aimed at the bottom half as she succefully hit her in the stomach. Laughing a little, she said in gasps, as she kept hitting her repeatedly, though not hard, she didn't want to ruin her clothes up so bad. "We are not fangirls! We just love our guys, that's all! And you're lucky because the beach is a romantic spot, but when I asked what you were wanting to do, I...didn't mean...just simple innocent stuff." At this, she made the cushion swing down softly on Rei's top of the head, finding a opening, and then stopped, breathing heavily, tired, though a amusing smile on her face. "That's not so much fun. Since you're going to go swimming, supposely, he's going to be bare-chested, so take advantage. Larxene has seen and touched that, and who knows what else. Heck, he's going to be in trunks, and wet!" She stuck out her tongue playfully, showing she obviously teasing her, especially on the Larxene part, just to drive her. "He does know you're going to the beach, right?"
OOC: Man, I keep having this coughing fit... Anyway, I have like this ending in mind on my head. Think you're gonna like it, and perhaps...possibly, not like it. "Not a maybe, there always is, you just have to find it...." Axel whispered after listening to everything she had said, confident and tenderly, not knowing that Reixa had such a deep side to her. "The sun represents many things...that's why you should appreciate life, each and every day, you might never know when you die...after all, take Axel for example, though he found his light....the light that never goes out, because even in the night there's the moon, if not the stars. And I'm starting to feel like I'm turning into some mush, so excuse me if I stop here." He chuckled a little, before asking, a hint of languish in his tone, "How are Roxas and Larxene? Are they fine...?" He knew this, he was in Reixa's dream and what she experienced, he did, but he wanted to hear it out loud.
OOC: I'm surprised you didn't give opinion on the tattoo conversation xP. Tifa scrunched her eyebrows at this new piece of news, wondering what was that about. She had never thought there was anything but rebellion behind those tattoos, with his friend doing it for him and all, yet there was some meaning? If then, it was serious for Axel, considering tattoos were permanent. That's really weird...though if it was symbolic and he got all gloomy, then it was bad? I mean, what could be behind teardrops...unless it was metaphorical crying and hurt? Hearing Rei's new comment took her thoughts off of that though, and she giggled as well, being reminded of Cloud, and Tifa shook her head. "You mean lovesick fools. I get you. My blond is so....ahh! To put it plainly, I can't wait for today, seeing his chest and everything, running my hands through his hair and body..." She sighed dreamily as her head leaned back, a smile on her face at the thought, and she squealed. "Have you ever experienced that?....anyway, what do you expect from this date with Axel, or rather, what do you want to happen?"
OOC: I haven't seen that special o_o. And I have typical, minor auric experiences, you know, when they turn off the lights and stuff. Axel did as she said, breathing out as he concentrated, and the colors began forming rapidly as they bonded, until his once dark visioned eyes, were full of a variety of colors, looking more spectacular than how he had ever imagined, he felt the need to blink even. The different hues, like mists mixing tinctures, and forms of smoky shapes, and all the radiance making this seemed unreal...which ironically, this dream thing was...but this sight was real. It was enjoyable, and he opened his eyes only to jump a little when he watched the sunset, the colors more strong mixed with what he was seeing, the reddish orange star smack in the middle with the tints and tones he had seen, the deeper and thick clouds in the sky, coiling with the wisps. He kept blinking, never seeing this before in his life...or rather, his life. "Whoa..." He remained quiet to watch in awe until they slowly started fading, and with a few more seconds, the twilight view went back to normal...disappointingly, but yet a few auric senses stayed for awhile. Shifting his widened eyes to meet her face as much as he could without moving his head, he eyed her impressively. "This is what you can see all the time?"
OOC: I understand the diamonds..but don't know where the green came from...
Waiting for Vexen's answer, she ignored Demyx for the moment, who even if she gave him the evil look again, had his eyes closed, scared. She smirked. Heh. Either way, Larxene was going to do something, she wasn't known to be merciful, after all. It was then she sensed someone's gaze on her, and directing her own eyes, she saw Zexion checking her out. At first, she thought that it was impossible, it wasn't the Cloaked Schemer's style or in his persona, but when he gave her that coy smile, it was confirmed. Larxene gazed at him oddly as he began to drink that...nasty looking...liquid, blinking from time to time, not knowing what to make of this. If she wasn't lost on his flirtatious action, she would've given him a slight piercing glare. The usual so anyone won't try that again. Even more weirdness....
