Tifa gaped, caught offguard at what he had asked of her. Her face burned even more as she guessed the color went to a deeper shade of red, though now it felt like it was all over her face. But really, she couldn't believe what was happening now. Was she dreaming? Staring up into his deep blue eyes, almost timidly as he held her chin, she asked, weakly, wanting to know, "Y-you like me? I mean, I never thought..."
When he touched her, she felt a pleasant shiver passed from her hand, and throughout her arm, making her blush, this time, deeply. She grasped it softly too, gazing up at him, meeting his stare straight on, and nodded. "Yes, he doesn't like me that way. I'm sure. He asked me to be his date for the dance, but just as friends, nothing more. And...I guess if you want to be with Yuffie..." She looked down after that, disappointment and sadness filling in as he admitted that he might give Yuffie a chance. Tifa had always liked him, which was why she was so happy to see him. But now...
OOC: He controls fire, so yeah, he can do that. Remember in Re: CoM how he killed Vexen? Yep. If you've seen it of course. And I don't think Axel would want to harm Roxas like that anyway xD. But that's what weirds me out about KH2, that the Org. members, example, Larxene critically giving one kick at Sora and he was down, could have defeated Sora easily, but is like they got rid of them because they had to. But, I digress. Did Yuffie run away giggling with her hair on fire? xDD Seeing as the insane Yuffie ran off, he distinguished the fire in her hair, as that was just to make her panic and get her out of his sight. Besides, if Saïx got a hold of this, he would be expelled. You weren't suppose to use your powers in school property. Axel made a mental note to tell Roxas that Yuffie can be disposable, and it wouldn't matter if she went on another side. That girl was crazy, and it would do the Skaters good. Getting up slowly, he dusted off his black pants from every angle, then headed to fix his white dress shirt. "What do you mean, I'm with a nice guy?" Tifa asked softly, putting a tentative hand on his shoulder as they kept walking, staring at him. "If you mean Axel, he's amazing, cool as hell, and a great friend, but that's it. We're just friends. And...what nice girl? Do you have anyone in mind?" She didn't mean to intrude so much, but this was making her nervous. What if he liked somebody else? What then?
OOC: Fine then. He blocked it xP. Axel had noticed the attack a second when her foot was brought down, and thanking the Lord so, so, much for his fast reflexes, he blocked it in time by covering his hands over it, looking comical and silly, backing away. The tip of her shoe managed to graze his knuckles however, making him wince at the pain. He tripped over his sneakers in the whole action, and fell down flat on his butt, grunting as he hit the floor. Motherf- Growling at the girl for daring to actually aim for his "precious", or for even doing that, he glared at her dangerously with a blaze, and with a snap of his fingers, set her hair on fire, exclaiming, "You wouldn't mess with me if I were you!" "What do you mean ask Yuffie out?" Tifa inquired roughly the moment his sentence ended, dismissing his Larxene answer, though she heard it. Surely, he wasn't thinking about actually taking her somewhere? She eyed Cloud seriously, "Didn't you say she was way too energetic for you?" Tifa didn't remember if he did say that, but she had to play her cards.
"No, is a crush, definitely. I know this Cloud, I'm a girl," Tifa replied matter of factly, giving a glance back at the short black-haired girl. She kind of felt bad, but she had managed to get Cloud for now, and they could hang out later. She wanted to talk to him first for a little while, and since they were on discussion, she continued "She had a crush on Vincent, and Reno too, remember? Oh man..I hope she doesn't claw Axel. They look alike..." Tifa winced at the thought, definitely hoping Axel would forgive her if that happened. It was then she got reminded of what he was doing earlier. "Oh yeah, what were you doing talking with that Prep? That Larxene, right?" "Wow, you just got dissed good," Axel chuckled at her, but staring at ZC as he left. He had ntoiced he had ignored him, and pondered whether he was mad at what he had said before. He took a amused look at Yuffie, before starting to walk away in the direction where Larxene was, as he caught her there when Cloud moved away, remarking, "You should be more polite. People will hate you that way. Got it memorized?"
Finally! Tifa shouted in triumph in her head as Cloud walked next to her, and away from pesky Yuffie. She hoped Axel forgave her for leaving him like that, but this was a dire emergency. She looked at Cloud from the corner of her eyes, before saying, "I didn't know Yuffie had a crush on you..." Noooooo! Don't leave me with her! Axel begged in his head as he watched them both go, a worried expression on his face. That interrupted him from seeing if Larxene was hanging where Cloud had left her. But he heard familiar voice say "hi" to the hyperactive female, and looked over where the girl was at, noticing it was ZC that had talked. He was saved, luck was with him. Though now was what he suppose to do?
"I can't, Yuffie, I'm sorry. I told you is reserved, there's no exceptions," Tifa tried again through gritted teeth, though with a bit more with edge in her tone. He narrowed her eyes where she was grabbing Cloud's arm, and truthfully, she wasn't really sorry, but then she made eye contact with the blond, brushing it off. "Shall we go now, Cloud?" She sent him another look.
OOC: Okay. "Um, excuse me, Yuffie," Tifa said gently with a forced smile, grabbing the girl's shoulder and guiding away from Cloud softly. After all, Yuffie was still her friend, and she didn't want to start anything with her. But she was touching Cloud. Tifa stared her over kindly, though it was hard as the green monster ravaged her stomach, before explaining, "Actually, me and Cloud were going somewhere private. And is reserved. If I had known, I would have invited you." She gave a dangerous warning glance at Cloud to go with it. Axel just didn't make sense of any of this, he just felt awkward. He really did want to leave, though he wondered what was Cloud going to say before Follower Skater Yuffie popped out of nowhere. He knew that girl was always weird, and will fit more with the Preps thanks to her undying perkiness. Not that they were all happy and cheerful. Take Larxene for example. Talking about her...he tried to look over at Cloud's shoulder to see if she was there still. Not that he cared, but he was just curious.
Axel nodded weakly, putting out his hand for it quickly, grabbing it. Thankfully, he was still able to focus on ripping the foil off to take out the white patch, yet it was done messily. Pulling of the plastic that covered the sticky side, he paused for a moment, thinking of where to put it, before just placing it in the bottom of his neck. With a sigh, he shut his eyes a little, waiting for the magic to work, and muttered, "Thanks. You didn't have to do that..."
OOC: I would say yes xP, but the maximum is 3 characters, and you have Sora, Demyx, and Cloud. Unless you want to sacrifice one...I would bend it, but that would be unfair to others. "They're fine," Tifa answered, nodding. She looked at him brightly, a toothy smile on her face. "And Denzel asks a lot about you, you know, you're like his role model. You should visit, they'll be really excited to see you..." It was then she noticed she was rambling, and paused, getting herself back together. Remembering Axel, she have a "oh", before grabbing his wrist and taking him a bit forward next to her. "I forgot to introduce you to my good friend. Cloud, this is Axel. Axel, this is Cloud. Doesn't he remind you of Reno alot?"
"Thank you," Tifa smiled, as her cheeks gave a pink flush. It was then she took the time to look him over, up and down, and he looked as handsome as she remembered. His spiky hair hasn't changed either. "You don't look bad yourself...wow, it's been such a while. What have you been doing?" Axel immeditely felt like he was the third wheel, in which he honestly was, and just stood behind Tifa as she chatted with Cloud. He had noticed the guy looking him over, but nothing that showed dislike was in his eyes, jus studying him. The good thing was that he didn't have to go over there where Larxene was. But now he didn't know what to do, since Tifa wanted to introduce him. Should he leave...?
"Oh my God! Oh my God! He's coming! What do I do?! What do I do?!" Tifa screamed like she was some kind of fangirl, looking frantically around everyone like if something will tell her. He was actually coming to her, and she didn't know what to say. It wasn't like her to act this way, but now that Cloud was here in person after such a long time.... Knowing the natural reflex, she tried to brush her hair in the right place as unnoticeable as possible, and smoothed out her uniform. Tifa turned to Axel who was giving her a "WTF?" expression, but she ignored it. Couldn't blame him. "How do I look?" "You look like sh*t," Axel joked, rolling his eyes as he snapped out of his shock. This was quite unexpected, moreso on the fact that she was fixing herself up. Did she like him? I mean, is not like they can't be together as he's part of them, so it was alright, but he never really knew that. Shaking his head, he gave Tifa a smirk as he truly replied, "You look as sexy and gorgeous as ever. Relax."
Axel just held the paper bag, his head tilting to his sides back and forth. It wasn't like he was going to vomit. He wasn't feeling that nauseaus thanks to the pills kicking, but the symptoms were still going, especially every time he felt the ship move on the waves. He was freaking sick, literally. He hated it, and he told Xemnas that he didn't. But noooooo, it was either that or get turned into a Dusk. The sickness will leave once he got used to the movement, this always happened on the first day, more now because he hasn't been in one, for how long...? If he was going to stay here, he wanted to enjoy it with the others. Where was Angel anyway? He couldn't understand what she had said well...
"I get it, I get it," Tifa quickly said, putting her hands up defensively. She gave another small laugh as they went through another hall, which had a set of windows. Every hall did have windows, but this one had more than needed. "This place is so big for a high school..." It was then she saw a familiar blond, a male blond, and Tifa grabbed Axel's arm like a vice-grip, not daring to believe her eyes, a flow of joy going through her veins."Oh my God...is that...?" "Uh...Tifa, you're forgetting your strength," Axel grunted, widening his eyes as she practically suffocated his arm and halted the blood flow, turning the usual tan into pale. Looking to where she was staring to see what was the big deal, all he saw as a tall, blond guy, talking to... Oh f*ck no. No. No. Hearing Axel, she let go of his arm with a fast, yet meaningful, "sorry", but grabbed his hand instead on his other arm, leading him to Cloud, who she hasn't seen...for wow. She couldn't help the rush, and didn't even care if that Larxene girl was there. "Come on! I want you to meet him!" Rubbing his arm slightly, that was numb by now, he let her guide him blindly for a moment, before realizing where he was going, and planted his feet hard on the ground, pulling her back. When she stared at him confused, he explained, "I've seen the guy before...and he's part of us, but I don't think is a good idea...." More because of Larxene. He really didn't want to deal with her bipolarism right now.
OOC: Really? That's so weird xD, did you see this video or something?: The Art Of Breaking If not then, what a nice coincidence. It's on YouTube too, but the quality sucks there. This is how I got introduced to that song xP. I need Larx or Zarix to post cause Axel is stuck in time again...*sigh*
"Uh, no..." she answered, as they turned a corner to another hall, forcing to giggle to irritate him, and pinched his cheek as she moved it was and forth, as she cooed, "Aww, why nawt? You're soooo adorable!" Yep, she was really bored. Axel slapped her hand away grudgingly as she laughed, though being careful not to hurt her, and glared, massaging his cheek that was red now. Seethingly, he replied. "I'm not 'adorable'. Roxas is the type of male you will call 'cute'. Me? I'm sexy. And hot. And, do you have any idea what this particular cheek has been through? I mean, why can't it never be the right? Does it have a sign that says, pinch me, slap me, punch me, or something? Geez..." And where the hell was Roxas?
Axel just simply raised a eyebrow, his face blank, not wanting to let this guy faze him. It wasn't exactly love, so to speak, but it was close. At least he thought it wasn't love. It really can't be possible that he would have gotten that far, not yet. Great. This guy was making him run his thoughts over again, which he didn't want to do right this moment. Leering at him, he returned, "No, it isn't. And if it was, what's it to you?" He took a breath there, now eyeing him carefully, "Is there something you want?"
"Roxas, Roxie, Roxas...come out, come out," Axel sang under his breath with his own melody, after he got off the passage that lead into the school property from the dorms. Now, where was that spiky-haired little punk? He needed to know what happened with Olette so bad, and hear what went on. It was then he spotted a familiar raven-haired girl who looked bored to death, looking around for someone familiar...and he was suppose to call her. Oh well. He was here now. "Yo, Tifa!" Tifa swirled around in surprise at hearing her name called, and saw the red-headed male heading towards her. Well, finally, someone to talk around here, the hallshalls are so empty by this time. Delighted, she also started to walk to him, until they met halfway, and she gave him a smile, ruffling his spiky hair playfully. "So, feeling better, now?" "Oh, yeah. And I talked to someone I haven't seen in a while, so that kind of cheered me up. And don't do that, I'm not a kid..." Axel responded cheekily, scowling at her as he brushed his crimson locks with his hand to see if it was messy now. Or...more messy. He was proud of his hair either way. He stared at her questionably when he was done, as they began to walk, "Have you seen Roxas anywhere? I want to talk to him..."
"I'd have to ask the same," Axel added saucily, crossing his arms, and piercing his eyes at the intruder. He was more annoyed at the fact that he had come out of nowhere to disrupt their conversation, and he audaciously ruined the moment and atmosphere with his presence. Axel just wanted him to leave, but after this, he didn't know if he could go on with the discussion. It just bothered him, and now he didn't feel in the mood to talk about it anymore.
"Anyway, I got to go, ZC, I was looking for somebody," Axel said, starting to take leave. He gave a soft, friendly pat on the guys shoulder as he smiled. "You're very smart, you know. And you're using it well. I'll find you later if I can after this, okay?" He gave a intricate wave, and 'petted' the robot backpack thing, before started to walk away, looking back for a second. Damn, why did he have to meet Yuna?
