OOC: Thing is xP, Axel did say that here before...forgot when... "Hey," she greeted as she reached him, blushing a bit as she remembered how she kissed him. Olette remained normal, however, and asked, "So how have you been doing? Anything new?" Tifa giggled, as she let him move her however he wanted, and she placed her head in his chest again, going with the flow as they rocked slowly together, a small sly smile on her face as she joked. "It seems you're impatient. Don't worry, we'll be dancing in more ways than one soon..." OOC: =O
Tifa sent Angel a apologetic look for Cloud's behavior, before she stared back at Cloud, a small smile on her face as she wrapped her arms around his neck, wondering if she called him something else long ago. She knew she made fun of his hair, what was it...that it looks like a Chocobo? "If not adorable, then what? The 'most sexiest beast of the homosapien species'?" That sounded bad and awkward, last time she'll take any of Axel's quotes. Olette walked outside, simply wanting to get a breath of fresh air as she finished her studies, or rather, her homework. Surprisingly, she spotted spiky blond hair and familiar hairstyle, and went over with a smile. "Roxas?!"
OOC: Doesn't Roxas have Naminé though? xD She's going to appear, right? Then again... Axel groaned inwardly to himself, a bit annoyed, yet sadden at Roxas' pensive and quiet demeanor. He's been getting like this nonstop...and it was needless to say he was worried, it might give him dangerous ideas. Giving a hard pat to his back, making the kid widen his eyes and making him almost fall over, he said with a smirk, "How about we get the usual treat? And then we can talk about we'll be able to spy on Larxene and Reixa and see how much they catfight. I'm glad I thought of making them roommates, Master Xemnas is kind of gullible sometimes. I thought he wouldn't agree that easily..." It was then stared over at him, still in his daze, and his eyes drooped. "Come on, Roxas. Lighten up...maybe you can talk to them?" "And say what?" Roxas quietly asked, looking over as they went inside the building, to climb up the stairs, and come where they were. He scrunched his eyebrows. "Don't mind the cloak, I'm just a random kid trying to be your friend? Yeah, right..." He then looked over the the spacious town, over the mountains and into the sun, knowing they will get here any moment. Roxas knew he was dampening the mood, and he didn't like bringing people down with him. "Okay, then. Let's get some sea-salt ice cream..." And he gave his friend a true smile.
OOC: If you want I could be Olette for the while lanihead is not here. Don't worry, no big paragraphs xD. Cloud is being hostile, he needs to learn respect xP. I would've so punched him... "What? Adorable?" Tifa questioned sarcastically as she eyed him, but a bit offended at the tone he was speaking to her with. Though when she was talking, she used a lighter, but stern voice."I will, but not with the way you're asking me to. How about you ask me nicely instead of demanding me to?" She had heard Angel, but she wanted to talk this first.
OOC: Lol. That she hates his damn guts? xD When Axel found himself on top of the said meeting place in the clock tower, overlooking the bright and wide twilight horizon as the familiar breeze of being so high up raked into his face and hair, he found that Roxas was already there, standing beside him, eyeing the view as well. Smiling proudly, he began to blabber excitedly, the pack of cards on one hand, about the meeting, "Man, at first I thought I was going to be bored, and I still was, but not only did I get to piss Larxene off enough for her to chuck a kunai at me, I also backtalked Xaldin and made him just as angered. It was futile to try and argue with me, and I left with the last word. I had Luxord and Xigbar at my side, shocking enough...." He turned to look at his buddy, but frowned when he found him peering down absently at the ground. Curious, he followed his gaze, and raised his eyebrows as he saw three teens talking and joking around. Blinking, Axel turned to Roxas again, seeing a wistful glint on his eyes. It was then he stayed silent, slowly starting to understand his best friend's mood. He sighed. Roxas didn't want Axel to think he was ignoring him, he did hear his ramblings like he always did and listened, but he couldn't help but set his eyes on the bottom when he had spotted those kids again, and wanting to be as free and as human as them, sent him into one of his "quiet and mournful state", as the redhead dubbed it. The people there had hearts and had lives, they existed, so...what about him? What was his life that he couldn't even recall like the rest? Not even a bit, but in dreams...
"Yeah, he does like you a lot, or maybe love you. It was enough to hug me when I was in the pool, he was acting all happy and ga....wait," Axel stopped, looking at her a bit startled as she got what she had said into his head, putting his free hand up as a pausing wave. Not only he was told Marluxia was actually capable of this was the cause of his now serious mood, but it reminded him of his own actions towards her. "He yelled and slapped at you?" And like a film, he remembered from the time in the office how he attacked her when she slapped him, leaving him a cut, to when he had shouted at her many times, and then what happened in the school yard, even though he didn't mean to grip her that hard, he did bark at her nastily, though that was everyone too...yet still. Wincing visibly, he gazed down, finding himself guilty and ashamed at how he had acted. Still with his eyes downwards, he pulled softly her hand that he was holding unto to bring her forward a little, and with his other one, grab the one left, binding her wrists together as he examined them, one hand fisted where she held the key. They weren't that visible now, but he could see a almost invisible trace of what he had caused there. He gulped, finding his throat suddenly dry.
OOC: Lol. Eh, he's respectful and he wouldn't....though I don't know about Axel xD. Saïx simply gave a nod to the explanation, and despite him being smooth and speaking clearly as if he didn't hid anything, something told him there was more to it than this. That day when he came to him sounded urgent, and he cannot shake the thought that a taboo was being committed. Why Larxene? Even if Axel thought she wouldn't handle it alone, there was no need for the pyromaniac to care enough to help. They have talked, and had some sort of false friendship, like him and Roxas, but nothing resorted into him going there. If Zexion didn't give out more, he was going to have to spy, but he gave one last try. "And what else? I told you I will find out, and if I see that you kept things from me, it will be your head." Axel had placed everything back on on his uniform, after his boxers, except for the damn black cloak...and his gloves, he wanted to feel his hands free for once. Since he wasn't ordered or commanded to do anything, he just hung around his room with his black tank top on. In his bed, he thought over what to do with his free time that wouldn't bore him as he waited, that didn't require to kiss Larxene, of course... and it was then the idea hit him. A devious glint that he knew was in his eyes, he immediately portalled into Larxene's room smoothly, the darkness swirling off to reveal that he had planted himself on her much comfier bed, in the same position he was on his own one. Hearing the shower running, Axel chuckled treacherously, before rising up, and standing as he got off the mattress, walking to Larxene's bathroom. Once he reached it, he slowly and cautiously wiggled the knob lightly to see if it was opened, and to his delight, it was. My, this was going to be fun... Making sure to be silent, he made it jar open a bit more, the steam heading outside and warming him to sweat, just enough to fit his body in, and closed it quietly and sneakily back as he shut it gently behind him. What was so amazing was that their showers were of stalls, the see-through kind were you see after the hazy glass, with metal edges outlining it, the tub at the bottom. So when he saw Larxene's blurry nude form, not expecting it to see it in this way, as some water splashed on the window slightly, he heaved in a breath, his eyes wide as his back rested on the door. Holy... What a time to regret his own challenge, damn it... OOC: Well, if it isn't Max, is Axel. Perv *smacks head*
OOC: Lol xDD. Whoa, this could so be on the timeline with Rivals as a prequel...just kidding. Then we have to explain how Axel and Larxene still look the same xP. "Why are you so curious?" Axel just questioned back with a knowing smile, a very mischievious expression etched on his face as he stared at her. When he had finished making her go round to show off to him, they simply now stood, his hand still holding hers. Without her knowing, Axel took in with the time her body before, as it glistened in the twilight rays, her ample breasts with her skin colored bra, her hourglass body, the creamy looking surface of it all, curves and waist, her skirt hugging the hips...the tight white blouse that didn't really hide anything. And then it was all unfortunately covered again. But he got the glimpse. "It was kind of odd, I asked her as a friend. It was after Paine announced she was moving, and then since Rei was the only girl I knew I was comfortable with, and easy to hang out with, I asked her. She has a...crush on me, though I don't know how deep is it....you know, instead of asking about her, I should ask you about how you got with Marluxia and what you saw in him in the first place..." He sent her a skeptical look.. "Are you together, or what is it?"
"I only care about what you're going to say of Number VIII and what is it he's doing, with him in the topic, is automatically bad, which you hinted at. I don't think it matters what his problem is. And of course, of who is this Max that seems to be a very ardent topic here. But first off, start with our own flame wielder. I'm not very patient, Number VI," Saïx forewarned, eyeing him with a heated stare, before waving a hand casually for him to start. "No lies, full explanation. Begin." Axel breathed in the misty and heated bathroom as he just got out of his hot and refreshing shower, his teeht brushed, which he had to do it carefully due to his tongue gash, his hair washed from any sand minerals, he made sure of that, constantly rinsing it, and just felt...every sin or anything he had done before this go away permanently. It was like he was cleansed from whatever he had done with Reixa, and that was just one perfect step to forget about their one-time fling. He was quite bitter about her now, and her act, add to that from here on, the nickname he gave her will not be uttered from his lips, at all. The only thing he felt that happened today was his time with Larxene in Twilight Town, and the fight with Larpex, which he still had to report. With only a towel wrapped tightly around his waist, he opened the door to get out, the cold air of the room disminishing the steam, and breathing the cool slight breeze from walking out that affected his semi-damp body, he went to change, as he headed to his closet.
OOC: She's like so whatever, you can do so much better, I think we should get together now, and that's what ev- let me shut up xD. "Well, I was going with Tifa, who I gave up on because a bunch of females were all over the a** that is called Cloud, the one she loved and is now her boyfriend, so I did her the favor. I was going with Skater girl Paine, wasn't happy, but she moved. And so, now, I'm going with Rei..." Axel explained in a breath, as the mention of the name made him think of the girl. Damn, he had forgotten momentarily about the fact that she liked him, and if she ever found what happened here...well, Axel didn't really want to hurt her, she was his friend still, and a person he cared for. Gazing at Larxene though, he added, "I don't think you know her, I think she passed you in the stairs when reaching the roof that time when we last met again. I'm not sure if you remember any girl...but...she looks a bit like Tifa. If not, then you'll see." It was then he tilted his head playfully, before breaking apart from her fully, and grasping her hand, making her give a twirl of two as he lead. Axel eyed her sensually, up and down, despite the uniform covering what he had already seen. Even if she wasn't his date, he was very interested to see what she would wear. With a sly smile, he said, "And you got your dress, I'm guessing..." OOC: The irony, Rei spying xP.
Axel raised a curious eyebrow at Reixa's sudden grin at him like if she was on his side, and pondered whether she was trying to make friends, or if he looked like the friendly type to care. He had to disagree with her though, since he thought the Savage Nymph was more nice sounding than the Caustic Harpy. He couldn't help but think of a wild bird poking people's eyes out with its beak when hearing it. Because that's what a "harpy" is, a bird. At least in the Savage Nymph you can picture a beautiful female, like a fairy, because that's what "nymph" represents in cultural meaning, and think of that deceiving fairy as savage despite appearance, biting your head off and being a simple b*tch. Larxene in a nutshell, people. Hearing the said devil beginning to shout insults, he turned to her with a nonchalant expression on his face, before he felt a rough quake shudder the room, making him almost drop Luxord's cards if he didn't have fast reflexes. Damm, Lexaeus...chill the hell up... Roxas just barely held himself from stumbling down out of his seat from Lexaeus' attack on the wall to gain silence, senidng the smile back to Reixa, and he blinked, widening his eyes, startled. Xemnas after began speaking, telling their orders and officially ending the hectic meeting, and portalling off immediately as if escaping them. Some leader. He stared over at Axel, raising his arms to give signals with his hands, mouthing out his words to make sense. He asked if they should hang out in Twilight Town, to meet in the Clock Tower. At Axel's yes, he gave a nod, and kept his eye on him as they transported off at the same time in darkness, finally away from here. OOC: No, don't get the wrong idea xP, is just a point.
Touching Zexion's shoulder, he transported them both out into his own quarters as darkness slid around them. When they appeared in their destination, he retreated back his arm, and gestured to Zexion a vacant chair from the spacious room as he sat by the one on his desk. He was prepared, so he got a extra seat. Gazing at him stonily, he spoke blankly, "Please, sit. And from there, start explaining quickly. And trust me when I say I will catch you if you're fibbing. You're to answer every question I ask, is that understood?" "Your loss..." Axel muttered simply as he watched her disperse from his room, a small, challenging, yet daring smirk on his face as he eyed the spot where she was like he was entertained for a minute. She just gave him more reason to complete his own test, and that he will pass with flying colors. Chuckling, he went inside the bathroom and closed the door behind him, turning on the light, as he began to remove his cloak while taking off his boots. "We'll see, my sadistic little lightning bug..." As he threw the robe away into a closed hamper, he eye himself in the mirror above the sink, finding that unlike before where he saw himself in Castle Oblivion, his face was free. He had a bit of pink left in his eyes, and his lips were still chapped, but fine. Now he can wash all of Reixa off of him fully, and get back to track with everything.
OOC: Lol xD. But she can't be killed. Rei is like a girl who will belt out I Will Survive from the top of her lungs, more like the chorus though. Or something like Avril Lavigne's Girlfriend...that one can work in Rivals too. Rei might disagree though....*-* Axel had closed his eyes again with a smile on his face as Larxene kissed him, but almost frowned when he heard her words...not really wanting her to leave already. But they were pushing it, and anyone can come to the roof, despite the firewall, plus, he gave her his key to come anytime she wanted. Sighing, he looked around as well as the embers slowly died down until they faded into nothing but the air, and the two were left open. Buttoning up his shirt from the bottom, he left three unclosed like he always did on the top, and made sure his tie was draped over his shoulder, though he never really wore them. Pulling away so that his palms rested on her hips, he eyed the big, bruising red, purple, and blue mark on her neck, vibrantly visible. With a amused grin, he touched it with his forefinger mockingly. "You might want to hide my declaration hickey on you from everyone. Especially for the dance today..." At this, he eyed her questionably. "If you are going, are you?"
"Go on, go on, I'm just used to it anyway," Vexen boredly dismissed, though it didn't matter as he disappeared, as he went forward and got up from his chair, going to the back door to look for a file that would lead to the workings of his puppet. "Number VI," Saïx called as he portalled into his room ominously, a set stern and serious expression on his face as he eyed the Cloaked Schemer with dangerous gold eyes, that meant, no escape. His eyes went to Xangel for a moment, studying her coldly, before setting it back to Zexion, as he already heard of their new guest from the Superior. In a tone of finality, he barked, "I want answers. Now. I want to know Axel's misgivings of what you were about to say, or what is happening around here. Or I will find out myself, with the help of Master Xemnas. That is a order, and don't dare think of lying to me. Any disruptions, will be taken care of by others, you are going nowhere." "Yes, but for that, I'm not letting you kiss me for a week or two, after all, my tongue needs to heal from your savagery," Axel exposed with a endearing smile, before retreating his arms and breaking away from their body contact, passing her casually as he went to a chair and grabbed his thrown towel. Passing a hand through his sand infested hair, he had forgotten that his clothes and himself smelled and tasted like sea water, and that had to be remedied. He wanted to tell Larxene about the reason why he was angered, but that can wait for later, if she was curious enough. Axel wasn't sure whether he'll last two weeks, one week, or even a day, but he set himself a challenge, and he wasn't going to break it for now....no matter how hard it might damn be. Very hard. Without a second thought, he headed towards the bathroom,, opening the white, marbled door, and took a glance at Larxene with a smirk. "I'm going to take a shower from the day's events, you know, the beach. My hair." At this, he raised his eyebrows intriguingly, as a sly grin graced his face. "Want to join me, Buggy? We'll explore the meaning of being 'clean' together."
Tifa smiled sympathetically, eyeing Angel almost sharply, yet a bit saddened. She didn't seem very sure of herself, she had noticed, first with the boyfriend comment that she never had one and now this. "You're not very self-confident, are you? You keep putting yourself down. Hmm...I'll help you, though you have to tell me whether you have any dresses to decide on, or we have to buy a new one. And since the dance is today, I mean, fast, after school. We can go with Rei to hang out." With that, she smiled, thinking. "And....get you a date. I know people. If you want one, but it wouldn't be fun going alone." Despite the disruptions, she couldn't get her mind off Rei and what she was doing, or the whole Axel and Larxene scenario.
Assume?....Axel repeated in question in his mind at her remark, raising a brow, wondering why she chose that type of word to describe their "relationship", not that he minded, of course. He was kind of anxious on her opinion about Marluxia and that she, to put it plainly, went behind his back. Though from her words, were they going out or not? Grabbing what he was looking for in his pocket, keeping a eye on Larxene as she traced his cheek, making him halt a shiver, he got out his single room key, fisting it. His opened shirt whipping around due to the breeze, bothering him a little. He had to button that up soon. Grabbing her hand that made him almost feel the sensation softly, he controlled it when he gently opened it, palm face up, and placed the metallic object in her hand, closing it with his own on it, while he circled a arm around her waist, pulling her to his body again. Axel placed his forehead against hers, and with their bonded fist in between, he explained in a whisper, close to her mouth. "My room number is eight. Roxas has a extra key, so I'll get that to get in my dorm when I find him. Is for whatever you want, okay? Either for this..." As example, he closed the little inches to give her a deep chaste kiss on her lips, shutting his eyes for that moment as he moved his mouth against hers, before opening them again when he stopped, smirking. "...or as a friend, I'm here. I'm just around the corner, if you got a minute to waste. I'll be waiting for you, if you ever wanna be there..." Tifa shrugged, only to widen her eyes when she processed what Angel said. She gazed at her, a bit concerned. "What do you mean, what should I wear? Like, you got dresses to choose from, or you need one?"
OOC: Is hard keeping up when you're eating xP. "Fine, fine, fine," Vexen sighed out, a bit tired out from all of Zexion's guessing games. Since he was sure of himself and what he was doing, he'll leave it to him. "Anyway, so have you reported to the Superior about Xangel?" "Biting my tongue doesn't excuse your hair, Buggy," Axel countered back with the same smile, the reminder of what happened to his tongue making him feel the biting mark that she had left. It wasn't hurting so much anymore, and he was glad for that at least. Making certain that she knew that he wasn't simply mad about what she did, but more on the scene, he decided to hint at it. And if Larxene wanted more details, he'll give them. "And about my tongue, that was only partly of why I got so upset with you."
Axel sent Xaldin a mocking dispapointed look. "Tsk. Wow, you went as low as to do the old, take my catchphrase. You suck, Whirlwind Lancer. And just to say, my hair is natural. Yours, however, looks like it went through 20 hells of shaping and gels to get it like that yourself. At least mine didn't turn out horrifying. Got it memorized?" With that, he was about to go back when he felt something swish beside his ear, and his eyes narrowed dangerously when he saw Larxene's yellow and sky blue kunai jam, seeing barely visible wisps of his red hair flow out into the air that were cut. Axel sent her a wry gaze. "I stand corrected. You are turning quite manly, Larx." Trying to hit two birds with one stone, he added, "I still waited for your weapon, Xaldin. It seems Larxene has more balls than you, not like you ever had some, like I stated." Roxas was trying so hard to hold back laughter, though he let some go. This was....very funny, to see Sonic and Medusa insulting it off, and it was times like these that made the meetings more joyful than they really were. However, you were hitting a dead bird if you went head to head with Axel's wit. He'll burn you on that, even he tried, yet failed miserably.
"Will do. Then you better take your own advice, you'll need it if you want to keep up!" Tifa exclaimed to his back, watching him with a coy smirk on her face as he walked away. Crossing her arms, if it happens, she'll give him alive. She then stared at Angel, a sheepish expression on her face. "And...that's my boyfriend. Adorable, isn't he?" She said the last part a bit sarcastic, since she she didn't want Angel to be uncomfortable with what she saw. "And no, you really wouldn't want to know..."
Axel rolled his eyes, though he couldn't help but be entertained by these...witty insults they were throwing to each other. You never expected it from Xaldin, yet he'll take anything by now to take away the boredom. He held back a laugh from Xigbar's remark, and he continued, more elated. "Why would I call somebody who doesn't have balls in the first place? " He sighed, chuckling, as a bunch of "ooh"s resonated around, as he went to shuffle the cards more. "You're more of a child considering you're arguing to what you think is one. Still waiting for that lance, Xaldy..."
