OOC: Axel would just tease her about it and play around with the thing xDD. "Why, oh why, would I be jealous? I was, unlike you, born with perfect, white, straight teeth, devoid of any painful metal braces and dentist appointments, albeit for dental cleaning" Axel retorted silkily, or what it would've been if he didn't whisper it. He shrugged to himself as Rei lead him to her room, raising both his brows as he saw her almost skip for joy, her eyes looking back at him from time to time. Scrap the lust or attraction out of the list, it was definitely feelings. He kind of felt a bit anxious now, not knowing what might go on in a empty room. I mean, the whole thing could be unexpected. But empty room... That thought made him question something, as they passed into a corner, and walked down a different hall. "What about your brother? Is his room close to yours, or do you share?"
OOC: Awww, Reixa....=( "Good, though I think Saïx might question you on it, later. He never lets a unfinished business go unnoticed, so you have to make something up if you don't want him to know " Vexen quickly replied, looking over some files piled up in his desk. "What intruder? And what do you mean they can quicken our way to get Kingdom Hearts now? Change of mind so fast...last time, you were 'worried' about them getting in the way..." "We'll make the time, we won't be busy so much, you know, there are thirteen of us," Axel responded quietly and softly, gazing at her face, noticing she had a pleasant expression after biting the ice cream like he instructed her to. Smiling to himself, he looked back down to the black female browsing around, a bit suspicious. She was wearing a black Org, cloak, and since Larxene was the only feminine wile in their Organization, except for perhaps Marluxia, it must be one from their rivals. Though which? Reixa, Xinaram, Larpex, Xangel, or that sound and dark powered girl he met so long ago? Not wanting this to distract him from the much more pleasurable company next to him, he shifted his eyes away, back to staring at the horizon, ignoring the person, she wasn't doing anything anyway. He took two more bites out of his ice cream, almost half-way done, relishing the bittersweetness. He stayed silent for a moment, thinking if this was a personal question, but figured he would be safe from getting them cut off. "Buggy?"
He waited until Tifa was out of sight, hearing the door lock securely on the other side, and Axel breathed, hoping that things would turn up for her. Listening to what Rei was offering distractedly, he gazed over at her, finding her eyes fidgeting, anxious to wait for his answer. Axel already knew the feelings the girl had for him, or attraction, whichever made her touch him the way she did before. But, Rei was still a friend, and he couldn't let that hold him back until he thought about it. He gave her a grin, giving her a dry look as he was entertained by her big grin and her teeth. "Do you constantly floss and brush your teeth each time you eat to get them so white, or do you go to the dentist to whiten them for cheap bucks?" Axel waved it off, looking around the halls. "But why not? I'll take it, I don't have anything except soda in my fridge. Just show me to your room." OOC: I think Rei should sooo take advantage of the situation xD.
Axel held back a laugh as he saw Larxene's grimace, pulling the ice cream away from her as she shivered from the taste. He honestly thought the reaction was going to be much worse, like she was going to throw the pop into his face, or drop to let it go below, wasting his munny. Though either she was curious, or she was enjoying herself. Axel gave her smirk, staring at her amused. "Told you it has a unique taste, though you can't get the best flavor by just licking the outer layer. Bite into it." As if showing a demonstration, he did it, squinting one eye as he savored the salty zing it firts gave, only to smile in peace as it melted into the sweet part of the ice cream, the only reason why he liked the treat in the first place. He thought over whether he was going to tell her about why it reminds him of her, but decided to discard it. Too mushy. Axel gazed at Larxene for awhile, before turning his eyes to the setting or rising sun, its light striking the clouds, and the grounds of lush green grass, trees, and hills from far off visible. He sighed. "Maybe I'll take you to the beach next time..." He then saw something black moving on the concrete below, enjoying the view on the edge, and he stared closely to see who it was, moving his head forward a little. Roxas? No...the figure looked like a girl.
"Thanks," Tifa gratefully said to them, this time giving a genuine real smile. She went over and hugged them both hard, slinging each of her arms over one of their shoulders, a sappy group hug that was bound to happen. Axel was making choking noises on purpose, that wasn't doing good for his sore throat, and caused her to pinch him. He shut up, and Tifa broke away, letting them breath air. Giggling gently, her view moved from one to the other, as she backed away inside, holding the knob of the door. "Don't be too hard on Cloud, I think he learned. Now, to get some sleep, and think...I'll see you guys later, kay?" "Alright," Axel croaked again, the result much worse for acting stupid and making sounds when his whole esophagus was burning. He watched as she gave a wave to them, raising a eyebrow at him for his voice, and he gave a wave back, rolling his eyes, as he whispered. "Sleep tight, don't let...just sleep tight." He thought whispering was safer until he drank some water or cough pills.
OOC: I like #11. That was hilarious for me. "Larxene, put the pointy things in the bad people!", "YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!" And how she was killing Riku around because he killed Mr. Bananers. Oh man. I wish people could log on T.T.
OOC: Lol. Yeah. Axel will remain quiet in this post. Tifa gave a nod, as she leaned in the edge of the doorway, almost wantingto close her eyes. "I guess...I hope. Poor Cloud, I heard everything...," She managed to give a small giggle, though a forced one, her tired orbs eyed them. "I should get some rest and sleep, is night anyway, if you guys don't mind. Sorry about this...." She gave them a apologetic look, more to Axel, that appeared to be harassed in more ways than one. Axel shook his head, pinching Tifa's cheek, only for her to slap it way, pouting. He sent her a grin, laughing a little. It was hard for him, true, but Tifa was his friend, and he would do anything to help her. That's why it was better to stay away from love, as Tifa had said when they were leaving the pool area, that love can bring good things too. But he was right, it was painful. It was proven right now. He spoke hoarsely, close to a harsh whisper, not able to reach any higher because of the consequence of him breaking his chords in yelling before. "You have nothing to say sorry to, Tif. I kind of brought this upon myself, honestly, but I didn't want Cloud to abandon you this way." OOC: *sighs* Couldn't help myself...
OOC: Lol. Nice add in xP. Axel let out the breath he was holding, and after composing himself, followed after Rei, still a bit out of it about what happened. So, she did like him as he suspected, but what now? He eyed Rei from the corner of his eyes, before shifting it away, simply waiting to hear Tifa's response, as it was the same question he was going to give. Tifa nodded, giving them a small smile, but her eyes showed otherwise. She couldn't lie to them, especially with Axel there, he'll call her out quickly, nothing passes him. "I'm okay, as in...I'm not crying...I feel like sh*t though, to put it plainly. I feel so weary that I just want to lie in bed forever..." She sighed, rubbing her eyes, and slicking back her hair. "It is hard. Don't worry about Cloud. I'll speak to him when the time is right..."
OOC: LMAO xDD. I love them too. They're funny, and I love what Larxene's drug abuse had turned her into. I always loved the first one. Axel burning a orphanage.
OOC: Come on, now xD. You're dealing with two hot-tempered people, there's gonna be some beating up. Axel didn't feel Rei's hand on his back, or what she was doing, but what he couldn't brush off was when she came right in front of him, briskly heaving in a breath as she felt her touch, holding him before her finger pressed on his lips, widening his eyes and making his body freeze at the brave movements. And the reaction was made even more shocking as she caressed him close to his eye, making him gaze at her with surprise. Either Rei must have noticed, or she thought it was alright from there, but her administrations stopped suddenly, and all Axel could do was just...stare. He didn't know what to do in this situation, but at least one question in his mind was answered about Rei. He had to say something though, he can't just stay there, quiet. He was kind of saved from doing anything by a weak, but familiar sounding voice. Tifa had dragged herself to the door, opening it weakly as she walked slightly to the hall, to see where Axel and Rei were. What she saw made her raise a eyebrow, the startled feeling making her forget about Cloud for a second, as she watched Rei and Axel very dangerously close together. She smiled, but noticed that Axel was stiff and his shoulders were tense, which meant he felt placed on the spot. Not wanting to (she kind of shipped them) but thinking it was to repay him, she spoke softly, but clear enough to hear, "Guys?"
OOC: I can't do anything without Nymph...so...:sweatdrop:. All I'm doing now is listening to 80s music (don't ask) and re-reading the beginnings of Ansem Retort over again...a little. And, a thought. Aren't Axel's tattoos suppose to be two black upside-down teardrops? *random conversation*
Axel banged his head on the wall, once, then twice, then the last time as his forehead, coughing a bit more from the exclaiming. Great, now his throat was hurting and bothering the hell out of him, and his body felt like it went through barrage of emotional blows, leaving him tired. Two hours. Two. Freaking. Hours. To convince the guy about what he had to do, and what was right. He was worse than a woman on her time of the month. Damn these male PMSing emo whores... Tifa was holding a hand over her mouth in fright and horror about the commotion that was going on outside, wanting to do something, anything, but finding her body unwilling. It was like it was dead, and she winced as a few tears spilled from her eyes when she listened to Axel's booming voice spreading throughout, as if he was in the room with her. And then there was Cloud...who was probably suffering from the damage of hits and scoldings. Is this what she had become? Some type of useless and helpless lost little girl while her friends did all the work for her? All the times she had promised herself she was going to be strong, this was how it was going to end? Axel was right. She wasn't going to talk to Cloud now, but she was going to, sooner or later. Yet, to start off... to start getting enough courage to face him she had to get up. And that's what she did, using the little strength she had left, her legs straightened as she rised up, closely falling down again if she didn't get support from the wall next to her. It was a swift motion, because she knew if she began it slow, there was not way she would move from that ground. Everything that was happening was all her fault.
OOC: LMAO. I'm actually starting to feel sorry for Cloud xDD. At least, is better than a chainsaw. "LISTEN! The only, ONLY mistake you've done concerning Tifa, is breaking up with her! You admitted your feelings because you loved her, and to suddenly regret and break her heart in the process is a disgusing d*ck move from you! Now I have to watch her be depressed and pining over f*cking YOU! Is not over until you really want it to be over! BUT! If you have any decency left, you will think over what you've done and try to find a way to fix it, apologizing won't do sh*t! Tifa is not in the mood to see you, so I will comply as her friend! For once, STOP BEING SELFISH, THE WORLD DOESN'T REVOLVE AROUND YOU AND YOUR CRAP!!" Axel bellowed, yelled, shouted, roared, whatever verb was necessary to make his voice loud enough for the birds in the trees next to the school to fly away in fright, the halls resonating with his echoes, shaking the walls. He stood there, having trouble gulping, a bit pink in the face from the pressure, breathing quickly from the exhaustion and force he had to put, of all of Cloud's actions and words blaring out in one huge bomb in the past few hours. He massaged his neck, finding his throat dry and cut, making him cough a little. Axel hoped this wouldn't ruin his vocal chords.
OOC: I erased it anyway! xD I'm going to put it now. Axel yelled at him to stop right away, leaving Rei for the moment with a nod, pissed off again by the same guy. He grabbed Cloud from his shoulder as he did before, as he caught up to him, and the minute his face appeared, Axel took the chance to give another punch to the face, then another on his left eye, strong enough to make sure there was a black and blue bruise there unlike his, making him stumble. "You think I was going to leave it like that!?" He then delivered a quick blow of a kick in Cloud's face making him almost trip into the floor. He paused then, taking his chance to breather, looking down at him. "I'm beating you up for payback, not because of you're sad and pathetic attitude, or Tifa. But still, get a hold of yourself! You're acting like a coward." But that didn't bother him, the pain that was in his eye socket now did. Axel winced as he rubbed his right eye, feeling a strike of pain shoot from it. He hissed, irritated beyond reason. "Motherf*cker..." Axel immediately was in alert all the time, though, in case he tried another surprise attack on him.
"Drop him." Plain, simple, and to the point. Axel went forward, luckily the punch Cloud struck wasn't hard enough as he backed away in time, and hopefully, he won't get a black eye. In the course of it, the pain wasn't horrible either, luckily for him. Walking up to the infuriated girl, he held the hand that Rei was gripping Cloud with tightly, covering itwith his own, his arm extended as he was next to her. Axel glanced at her sideways, sending her a serious, but stern look. "Come on, let go. Trust me."
"Rei, let him go, trust me," Axel told her calmly, the calm before the storm, as he had a hand over his right eye from where Cloud struck.
Axel took that dare in stride. It didn't take long for his fist to connect with Cloud's jaw as he hit him harshly, right to the bone, making him slam into the wall behind him, and Axel stood back, watching him, not letting go of his expression, eyeing him malignantly. "Just when I start thinking you were getting smart, you screw it up again. Yeah, you're right, she can't love you again because she still DOES, dumb a**. A apology is not going to be enough for what you made her go through. Tifa wiil love you, and will forever love you, I can guarantee that. You, however, are still too blind. What you need to do, is grow some balls, and talk to her about your damn insecurities."
Tifa suddenly snapped her eyes open, shocked to the bone when she heard Cloud's voice. Almost panicking, her body tensed, her mahogany eyes shifting desperately to Axel, sending him a silent message that she wasn't ready to face him. The pained and agonizing feeling was coming back to her again, and she forced herself not to start crying. Yet at the same time, the love she still held for him made her have sweet butterflie in her stomach. It was a oxymoron of a emotion. Axel didn't last long into jumping up from the floor, and passing by Rei, pushing Cloud back into the hall, hard, glaring at him with a deadly gaze as he followed him out. He couldn't even begin on what to say to him, and Axel felt so much like smacking a fist into his stupid face. Growling, he seethed, stepping towards him threateningly, "Oh, now you get it, right? After you made me scream my lungs out and have a battle with you, isn't that sweet? It took you seeing Tifa's state for you to wake the f*ck up! Haven't you done enough, what are you going to say? Weren't you going to leave? You don't how much I want to kill you..."
OOC: Thanks *blush*. I try to make him have both is Com and KH2 personality. Doing Axel is growing on me though, but roleplaying my bish Rakushinu (Larxene) is love :3. Here's the site for the comic, if anyone's interested. If you're bored, check it out, it won't disappoint: Ansem Retort Gah, that happened again :/ ? I hate it. Okay, then. Since Axel and Larxene are still in the Clock Tower, you can just walk around.
OOC: And he's not even going out with her in that comic, Aerith's his girlfriend xD. He loves to murder and kills orphans. Larxene is a drug addict xDDD. I don't know when Axel and Larxene are coming back from their date. I have to wait for Nymph..
