Whatever it was that she was feeling, Tifa felt even worse when he didn't even tried to stop her. Getting a sudden ache, her eyes burning, she walked faster to go to her room, turning a corner. When she reached there, she didn't hesitate to get the key and open it rapidly, shutting it close as she threw the towel and everything else in her bed.
Tifa blinked, her eyes widening a bit at Cloud's little discharge, before she narrowed her eyes at him. Giving him one last angry look, she turned around, and walked away quickly in a huff, heading to her dorm, not wanting to deal with him anymore. Fine. "Then, be that way..."
"Are you sure?" Tifa pressured, not in the least bit relieved. What was wrong with him? Is not like she kissed and had a make-out session with Axel or anything. Tifa was getting frustrated and annoyed, and even more upset. She wasn't going to leave him alone until he talked to her. "Cloud, just tell me what's wrong, don't hide it. Are you really fine, what is it that bothered you, what? You're making me worry..."
OOC: I know I lasted long, but I had a party yesterday, so....xP. This is what I posted, Gatekeeper. Axel was just putting on his black shirt to cover his bare chest, and picked up Tifa's short, ready to get out, until he heard the girl apologize, for what it seems, last time they had encountered the other. He never really expected this reaction, but he accepted it, and nodded his head, giving a small smile. "It's alright! I was in a bad mood anyway!" He wondered briefly whether she knew the whole Skater and Prep division, after all, she looked new, and he didn't know which group she was in, or if she was neutral, better put, a Undecided. Shrugging it off, and having his iPod back, he gave a awkward wave, and began to leave. It wasn't like he could do anything else, he wasn't familiar with her, and for him, it was random to start a conversation for the hell of it.
OOC: Just go back a page. Nothing much happened, except Aerith is with Marluxia, Zexion left Larxene alone to deal with the bombing, and Roxas is still talking to Ansem.
Larxene coughed, waving out the smoke around her annoyingly, a frown set on her face, as her eyes were shut to cover them from the polluted air. Opening them cautiously, she squinted, seeing the blinding mist disappear. She tried to see where Zexion was, looking around her, only to not find him there. In a quiet voice, she called, "Zexion?" Her eyes trailed everywhere, almost frantically, as the view became more clearer. But he was nowhere to be found. He didn't....he didn't really leave her, did he? She then remembered the portalling power, which she didn't know how to use, or even if she was able to. So...it was true...he did abandon her. Larxene didn't even know anything about what they've done to her to defend herself with, or the bombs, she was still in a towel, and he left her here?! For all she could feel, she was still human! "Okay, then..." was all Roxas could say, not wanting to tell him about Larxene's resistance to the whole thing and her defiant attacks. He wondered why they were taking so long, was Larxene still fighting over it? Or worse, maybe she did really chose to explode...
"Oh, yes?" Vexen pestered, raising a brow as he stared intently at his partner. "And what drastic measure would that be? The only one that could permanently put a stop to it is the Superior, unless, you have something else in mind. However, I don't think there is need to worry. So far. What did one of them say about this...false 'relationship'? I'm guessing, because they really have no other choice, they're going to hide it?" The Chilly Academic smriked confidently without hearing Zexion's answer, because he knew that's exactly where it was going, or already went. Axel gave her a carefree lopsided grin, for some reason feeling at ease. Not because of what she said, but because...it was just there. Like he was at peace, the same way when he had fallen asleep last time with her. "I guess that's a no, I want to wait? But whatever you want to do..." Then he joked, being reminded of his song. "I guess we're not gonna get-get-get-get-get freaky. Aw, shame..." Before she could say anything, with the force of his arms, he slowly made her lay her head on his chest, or at least, right under the crook of his neck. If Larxene wanted to lay here, he will do just that, he didn't mind, he had her, didn't he? Embracing the female to him, they stayed silent for a moment, just enjoying the feel of each other, or he was, anyway.
Axel. Definitely him. He just comes off like the type of guy who would randomly eat a wrapped Starburst, and then suddenly get the wrapper out of his mouth like it was nothing with a cocky smirk on his face xD. He's got that chill and cool type of vibe, and I think would be the only one to bother to learn that trick. Larxene will just give a "WTF" look, or raise her eyebrow, and continue on what she was doing, ignoring it. Thinking it pathetic and wouldn't bother with stupid things. BUT, she is also the type to do it if pressured and to get it off her back. Zexion, seems to me like he will think he's too above childish thing like that, especially from the scenes I've watched in. He's too serious and mature. And his IQ is too high for pointless stuff like learning to take off a wrapper with his tongue (just look at the scene with Xigbar, who has a carefree attitude. He looked annoyed). Roxas would try it after Axel with a shrug, fails, but doesn't really care anyway, or brushes it off with a sheepish look. Demyx would try it many, many times, but always fails. And then whines about it. I could so see him saying, "Awww, man!" Xigbar will try it too just for fun, and he could either fail or suceed. Like Axel, his personality makes him look like he will know these things. So he's on the second run after Red-head. Luxord would probably try it, but absentmindedly, like he doesn't really care. Marluxia will just politely say no and move on. Vexen will just refuse and complain and ramble about "stupid and childish games" -_-. Xemnas, Saïx, Xaldin, and Lexaeus will either just stare you down, or eye the candy with a questioning look. They're just that serious and stern. So yeah, AXEL.
"Ah, well," Vexen sighed, trying to find something to defend in this, hoping that perhaps it wasn't that much as what it seems. "It was just concern though, I mean, even I get like that I admit, though just when something goes wrong. It isn't really a big deal . Axel already felt concern for Roxas, and now with Larxene, is nothing new. Maybe he does get that he isn't going to delude himself..." Axel had to jump a bit as he felt the shock run through his head, but after the sensation passed, he chuckled at the act, his eyes looking at her face softly. "Are you trying to short-circuit my brain? Because that's where my witty remarks and genius come from..." He guessed she still didn't like the nickname, but regardless, she didn't have to back away, especially since they were still laying down. Bringing her down by the force of his arms on her waist, their foreheads touched, Axel staring straight into her eyes closely. Larxene did have pretty eyes, a shade of deep ice blue, and he could see slight dashes of green in her pools. Beautiful. Snapping out of it, he closed his own eyes, only to meet with her orbs again, but this time, he gave her a light kiss on the lips, before turning serious. He wanted to get farther, but if she wasn't ready, he'll respect her wishes. He took in a breath. "Nothing's wrong with me, I just needed to see...if you..were ready. I understand if you decide to wait, I just need to know. Because once I get too in, I won't be able to stop..."
"Roger," Larxene mocked with a displeased expression, as she fixed up her towel that was slipping slowly off her while she was being held on to. The cloth being tight again, she ensued after Zexion's steps, cautiously looking around her and prepared for any surprises. "And how am I suppose to find out bombs that don't make ticking sounds? I'm not exactly a veteran here, you know. And you still haven't told me where you're taking me..." All Roxas could was sighed, and nod, once more. Usually, he would be angry and insulted at being dragged here without his consent, and made to fight a war, but his home from before wasn't really...homely. And, considering there might be more people here that he could interact with, he might finally find a friend in this place. "Are we waiting for someone, Master Ansem?"
OOC: Whenever you want xD, just flow in.
"Then drink some water or something. There are desserts..." Axel suggested, as he looked over the food and what they were making. The cruise ship trip wasn't turning out so bad, thankfully. He still wondered about Angel. Glancing at her, he said, "Do I bother you or anything? I mean, since we hang out together alot...I fee like I'm being a pain on you, with the whole sea-sickness, and this..."
Tifa stood there for a moment, before knocking on Cloud's door softly. She still wasn't sure what "Right" meant, and he still didn't say anything that was worth to reassure that it was truly alright. Breathing, she spoke, "Cloud? Are you really okay? Tell me something that aren't one word answers please..."
OMG, there's a reason why Ven looks like Roxas. The clothes, the hair, the skin, everything. Nomura said it in his interview, which I do not want to post. Roxas and Ven are connected, and it also has to do with Sora. They will even have the SAME voice actor. Why they look like real twins, is what we are going to find out when the game gets here. This is all on purpose. That is VEN, not Roxas.
"It wasn't serious, it was just a act. And no...I just wanted you to get rid of her, like really. You only really just talk to her, and barely do anything to get her away, so I thought...you know. But it was nothing, really. I have no feelings for Axel, and he doesn't for me. It wasn't meaningful or anything, it was just to get you jealous..." Tifa explained truthfully, looking down at the floor herself.
"Is not okay if you're still upset," Tifa admonished, heaving a tired sighed. She hated when he was like this, because it was too scary, as you don't know what he's thinking of you. She crossed her arms, looking at him warily. "Is that all you have to say? What bothered you?" Axel breathed out, relief at finding his shirt (and Tifa's shorts), still there on the bleachers untouched, all snuggled. Going over to it, he sat down, and checked around, and he felt the solid rectangle shape that was his iPod, with the earphones. Good then. He was about to pick it up, until he heard a very quiet little splash. His eyes searched the pool quickly, trying to spot who was there. All he got was the same girl in his sight, but she looked familiar. Her appearance was kind of like Tifa's, but he remembered seeing her before... It then clicked. It was that gutsy, bad-mouthing girl that yelled at him before. Great, what a coincidence... Shrugging it off, he made his way to pick up his things and leave. If she noticed him, they might start something, and right now wasn't a good time for a argument for him.
"Cloud..." Tifa tried again, this time walking over to him. She just didn't understand why he could be so upset, he knew perfectly well that Axel and her had nothing, except friendship. It was a act. Going near him, she tilted her head, worried. "Why don't you talk to me? Why was it what I did that bad? If it was, I'm sorry..."
I think it's Aqua, or has a connection with Aqua, or something of the sort. Or a new character. From the scan, she looks Roxas' and Naminé's age (her boy and height says so, guess Larxene doesn't have to be envious xD), which goes more towards a new character. However, I don't know what other female can be a KEY part in the story and what will be as important. We already have Aqua from the past, Kairi for the present, Naminé was important, so what will this new chick serve? Concerning personality, I think she's going to be like Kairi, or quiet like Naminé. Larxene has the b*tch status and kickassness, so I'm guessing she's nice and is helpful, or doesn't really talk, maybe with a rough edge.
Axel gave a sarcastic laugh. "Aha! Why would I get any ideas with you? I bet they're a million hot chicks around here. In fact, I think I saw some over in the...pools, with those little bikinis that leave nothing to the imagination." At this, Axel thought as a smirk appeared on his face, giving Angel a mocking wink. "I actually might enjoy this after all. Otherwise, you hungry?"
Tifa walked into the dorm building, turning a different direction from her usual path to her room. Hoping that Cloud was there, as this was only a guess on her part, she stepped into the hall where he's new dorm was, and quaintly spotted him leaning in the wall. Going over to him carefully she called, "Cloud?"
