Axel just waved goodbye at Phisoxa, watching her as she sped off into a happy and cheerful mood. At least one thing was certain, that there were clubs, where single men can get lucky, and get wasted, though he had a high tolerance for alcohol anyway. This brightened his day, and now all he had to do now is wait for night. He wanted to wait for the setting sun though, he liked the twilight sky.
"I give up," Vexen sighed, throwing his arms in the air exasperated, and not at all happy that someone was going to stay over his laboratory over the night. He gave a glare to a very tired looking, but alert Roxas, and tried not to shake his head at how anyone connected to Axel have somehow deluded themselves into having feelings, when they obviously couldn't. Turning away from the boy, he peered moodily at Xangel, now doing the job he was to do. "I was expecting you to be here, but at last, I do have a room for you stay in. Not the best, is more like a storage room that became some type of bedroom, but is what we could offer so far, unless you'd like to share a room with Larxene?" "Who likes her privacy," Roxas added blankly, staring at Vexen confused, and wondering if he wanted to lead the girl to her death bed.
OOC: Yeah, too bad Axel won't call her Spitfire anymore there. Now you're Spicy :3 xD. Seeing that she didn't mention it, though she did look a bit startled, he breathed quietly. He was reluctant to ask it, because either he was bold, or just careless enough to. Axel was curious to know why, since he had acted just as he would to Tifa, and he was interested on how deep it went. He stayed silent for a while, letting the music wash over them again for a moment, before he asked in the most lowest tone he could manage, "Why do you like me?"
OOC: The last thing Marluxia said was this: Got him hook, line, and sinker. Though I do wonder how long until the whole Larxene thing begins xP. "Still, it was such a offhand comment that most people don't bother to hear..." Axel replied back a bit more calmly, now that she wasn't doing anything, yet, they were still close, too close. He knew well he didn't have feelings for her, if anything, however, there's got to be more of a reason for his behavior. It seemed when the dance was over, he had to do a lot of thinking, and so far, it was only the beginning. Then again, after the dance he had that some place to go that Larxene and him agreed on, so his muddled and confused thoughts will have to be put on hold. But he will mention the situation on how Marluxia found out to her, as he knew the answer, and Larxene should know as well. Swaying them more tenderly, this time closing his eyes, he wondered what is it that he had done to make Rei had feelings for him, he suspected she knew that he knew that she liked him, so... Holding in a sigh, he fluttered his eyes open, and turning to look at her face, he accidentally brushed his lips past hers, the action so fast and small that he barely felt it. His eyes squinted as he berated himself in his mind for not being more careful, but composing himself in time, he eyed her questionably, hoping to pass off that quick incident. Hesitating, he asked softly, "Can I ask you something?"
Roxas felt like he had drank the soda so long ago now, among three more cans, and he wondered how much time had passed since those six hours, which wasn't really six hours anymore. He and Xangel had mingled for a little, talking about anything, since they both had nothing to do. It was...odd. Now he knew like those people on guard duty felt, absolute....boring free time. And the caffeine was wearing off again, maybe he needed something like Coca-Cola. Sprite was more of Axel's drink anyway when he didn't want any Coke. He sighed tiredly, as he sang under his breath the only song he could think of,"Kumbaya, my lord, Kumbaya...Kumbaya, my lord, Kumbaya...." He didn't think that the song was suppose to be effective, until he heard the door of a office opening, that instead of the Lord, had a very exhausted Vexen coming out of it, only to freeze when he saw them. "Don't tell me you are still doing here? Do you know what time it is?!" Vexen half-yelled and growled as he eyed Roxas, only to look at Xangel, though he was expecting the girl to be there, she had no place else to go. Vexen placed his googly eyes on Roxas, who was looking at him weakly, it was evening already, even more, that although The World That Never Was remains night, they still had time to differentiate. Vexen didn't even wait for a answer as he walked to the two of them. "Is 10 o' clock at night already, Roxas....go to bed, Axel will be fine." And he wanted sleep too, but, he hated people staying here when he wasn't around. "Vexen, I can stay here. I want to stay here, you don't know what might happen, and not even you are here for the night, your sleeping quarters are where everyone else's is," Roxas argued, waking a bit more now that he had someone to snap at. He couldn't leave Axel, not until he was better. And Zexion...he might try anything. Vexen halted from rubbing his temples, as he tried once more. "Nothing will happen, I swear. I bet even Zexion himself is asleep, if that's what you're worrying about. You need your rest, seriously...leave." Roxas shook his head, his eyebrows now crunched together as he was determined, and said resolutely, "I'm staying here."
I guess I'll have Axel, please? Um, his costume: As Jack Sparrow
"Do you blame me for being in 'La La Land', there's nothing to do," Axel replied back to her, feeling a bit odd since he had never spoken to her much. "They have clubs in that ship, right?"
That answered his question, and he simply watched as Angel backed off from where she was sitting. Axel simply sighed, before he began to ponder over things. He wished he could do something this island, or in this whole vacation, he wnated to have some fun. Didn't they have clubs or something on the ship? Or a bar? Maybe he could even pick up random chicks for his own entertainment, and to fill his male needs. Then again, you get used to it when you're surrounded by men, and only one female was there, who would only slice your arm off if you touched her. Even searching for sea shells didn't look appealing. "This is boring now....and I'm still hungry..."
OOC: *pout* Okay then, night. Roxas nodded to her, as he took a sip of his Sprite, a smirk grazing his lip when he was done, finally finding a way to for Larxene to validate herself. "I was thinking along the same lines. Words mean nothing without actions. Prove indeed...let's hope she passes, and I mean, for Axel."
Roxas took it weakly as he took one hand the lid, giving her a grateful smile as he opened them with both hands. "Thanks. You don't want any for yourself?" He then sighed, thinking over whether he should or not, I mean, she already got him the soda, but he couldn't leave Axel either...maybe one more favor and that's it. "Whenever you get the chance, I dont mean now, when you feel like it, could you go to Zexion's room and get Larxene to come down here? I just want to speak to her about a few things...or do you think I should wait for her to come here, since it is her 'loved' one at risk, and like someone good would, she comes to visit herself?"
OOC: Yeah, but I don't get what she would be a bit anrgy at him, cause of what he did to Naminé or what? Axel sighed as he dug his face into hsi knees, wrapping his arms around the legs as he suddenly felt a bit tired, now that he was actually feeling so relaxed, and resting. He kept hearing uncomfortable movement from Angel as she kept getting hit by waves, and he barely shook his head as he asked quietly, "Do you hate water?" He hoped that she ignored the question as he heard Phisoxa's voice interrupt, and he just went back to looking at the horizon.
"No thanks, Axel told me it can stunt my growth, and I don't like the taste anyway," Roxas replied softly, not at all sharp from their former talk, as this wasn't exactly intense. Though, that was a idea, get some caffeine into his body, might as well add sweets to get sugar too, wake him up. Only six hours had passed, he had to wait 18 more if Axel was awake by then. "I don't want you to get it for me, but I don't want to leave Axel alone either. Not that I'm doubting your ability, but you're tight with Zexion...and I can't let anything happen. Do you mind...getting some soda?"
"It has?" Roxas inquired tiredly, his elbow now on the lid that showed Axel, his eyes just roaming around the room. He halted a yawn, knowing that it would just make him feel worse, and thought over things. If Axel did what he did for...his feelings, then he must have had a reason, he's a good judge of people, and...maybe Larxene did somehow love him...maybe. If she ever bothers to come around when Zexion had fixed her arms, Roxas wanted to see and talk to her about it, judge her truly upfront. He groaned to himself. "I hope is a day he needs to recover instead of two..."
OOC: What did Axel do to her? *_* Axel just eyed the shell after Naminé passed by him, ignoring her as well, before he pulled it lightly back towards Angel, who had a kind of upset expression, his face blank and his lips in a thin-straight line, as he muttered, "Is fine, you can keep it. It wouldn't be right if I had two..." He drew his hand away from touching the artifact, and went back to place his green eyes on front, eyeing the sea again as a kid past him, running to the water. The waves lashed from the tides, and on his lower body as he sat, and drew in his knees as he rested his chin on them, his hand playing in the wet sand, and the other placing the tower screw shell in his pocket.
Axel listened closely to her explanations, that made him want to smirk at how scientific it sounded at the end, but it made sense, it wasn't hard. However, it was good that she didn't know exactly what everyone was thinking, just their current mood. It was fine for a few seconds after, until he suddenly felt her hot breath close to his mouth, and his half-lidded eyes went full open as they shifted downwards to look at her in surrpise, their noses touching slightly in the act. It was then he found it hard to swallow, his stomach clenching, and his shoulders tensed when the uncomfortable tension got more force, his mind wondering rapidly what was she thinking. Though he didn't know why he got this way when Rei committed things like this. Trying not to appear too vexed by it, since he knew she could feel his shoulders stiffen, he didn't drew away, though he did kind of move to avoid any incident if one suddenly moved, just a tad. There was no way she would be daring enough to kiss him now, despite her feelings for him, he hoped, since he didn't know how to react to her in the process. Axel concentrated on her last words that she said to him, closing his eyes to clear his mind, and just managed a low and quiet as he opened them, "I guess...can't believe you remember me saying that..."
Axel was satisfied enough when he saw a drenched Naminé sending a nasty look at him, though he still felt like hitting or setting on something on fire, but since burning trees was such a damn sin, he rather keep out of it, at least, until Lexaeus or Naminé aren't looking. Heaving a breath, he focused again on the atmosphere of the beach to overtake him, and went to sit down on the damp sand, might as well, since his trunks were wet anyway. His opened shirt flowing backwards as the wind kept blowing, the sun rays hitting his skin, and he tried to relax, placing his palms in the soily surface, only for one to feel something hard and pointy. Looking down, his mood lifted high when he found the tower screw shell he was looking for. Digging it off, he watched the sand stuck in the next set of waves as the tides drew forward, rubbing it, and when cleaned, admired it as he held it up in front of him, a smile on his face. "Is this suppose to be my prize for not setting Naminé in flames....?"
Tifa noticed his tensed mood on his body, as shewas holding it, but simply closed her eyes, relaxed, and held him to her tenderly. She was comfortable, and low, she replied, "I know is weird to say, but that's what I wanted. I just didn't know whether it would happen or not and then it would be too late...I want my first to be special." Axel simply nodded lightly, quite impressed as he swayed her gently, moving their bodies in a circle leisurely as his half-closed eyes looked around behind her blindly, not really paying attention. "Not bad, Spicy, I like the leadership and power descriptions best...though I'll beat you at that volleyball game again." He then thought over more of what she said, holding her against him more tighter, about a secret, that he wanted to keep to himself and not confront her of it, his hidden desire...that she hopefully wouldnt find out what, or rarther, who, and about...his awkwardness. Not bad at all. Though he didn't know what to say to that, not that he could, he wasn't going to tell her why he was uncomfortable, as he wasn't sure himself...maybe because of her own scheming that he suspected her of, and he whispered, "You got it right...though, do the colors mean anything...and can you tell what is it that I desire or keep hidden, exactly?"
"You didn't need to do that, that punch was weak, as expected," Axel said to Angel low and dangerous, not at all affected by the hit. Moving Angel's hand away roughly, his movement contorted by fury, since he had enough honor not to hit defenseless girls back (excpet for Larxene, it was self-explainable), he quickly just grbbed a hold of Naminé's arm, pulling her harshly to him, and picked her up, dragging her over his shoulder as he stomped towards the beach, like what he had done to Angel before. Of course, she started to protests with kicks and punches and yells, but that didn't bother him, all he saw white anger in his eyes as he flowed through the water. When it was deep enough, almost to his chest, he lifted her up, and threw her forward as her body made a loud splash. Looking at her body go under from the force, he simply blinked and returned back to the shore quickly, not caring if his shirt was wet, or the swimming trunks he was wanting to dry. His feet quickly touched land, and he stood to watch when she went up to breathe. The water was up to her height anyway, so she wouldn't drown.
OOC: Um...let me see, six hours I guess form the time Axel was placed in the capsule... Roxas just took the silence as the end of their 'philosophical' conversation, and looked down at Axel, all pale, dead looking and blue, his hair a dark shade of purple due to the light...it just didnt fit, not for lively him. One of his arm was layed by his side limply, and the other was across his chest close to his stomach, resting without motion. He had his black tank top, everything except his cloak or gloves, though Roxas noticed that the stitched wound (as Vexen didn't bother to cover it, or it stayed like that when moving him), was a bit smaller than before, not much of a difference...but it was healing. That was nice to know.
Tifa giggled, her chest rumbling as she made herself comfortable in his warmth, and the strong, protective arms around her body, laying her head in his chest as she breathed softly. She mumbled in response, "Don't worry, you won't, I'll be ready soon, I know. Is you I dreamed of losing it with, after all." Then she grinned. "I don't want to stay a virgin too, and if anything, there's Axel for advice..." She made sure that the last part sounded like a joke, as Tifa didn't want to hurt Cloud's pride. Though he could really ask for tips, bonding male moment, she guessed.
