"Work what out?" Axel asked blaringly, looking around the town in silent interest. It was pretty amazing, of course, he's seen it before, but is surprising to see that in one world there were tall sky scrapers, buildings all round, stores, having souvenirs, items, games, there were city long sidewalks, and everything appeared...real. Not so empty, anyway. But he needed to find Larxene, even though he had admitted that he did like her, and will separate from her permanently to avoid anything deeper, she might be in danger. And he couldn't help but be concerned, despite the fact that she could handle herself. "We need to find Larxene first before working something out. Tell me where her 'scent' is," he somewhat demanded, though he didn't mean to. He just wanted to find the girl, probably give her a piece of his mind.
Axel slumped over the railing of the ship, pale, and feeling absolutely sea sick. He hated the water. Hated the sea. Or at least, when on a ship. Damn vacation, he never wanted to go to the Disney Cruise, or even any cruise in the first place. Damn Xemnas. He didn't want to look at the blue waves going up and down, up and down, so he set his eyes on the the floor, trying to get the dizziness off. Axel groaned as another surge of nausea passed through him again. That's it. He needed some pills or something.
"She what?!" Axel exclaimed in surprise and anger, a spark of fire appearing for a second above his head. Clenching his fists, he couldn't believe Larxene will just go by herself in enemy territory, and without knowing the way of that place, as she's never been there before. Actually, he could believe that she will do that, but why? Axel specifically told her to stay in her room until he comes back. Did he really last that long? Or was she just upset about their whole conversation? Looking at Zexion, forgetting what he was there for in the first place, he raised a eyebrow, though roughly. "No, we didn't get into a argument. Sort of. I'll be leaving now." And without another word, he quickly portalled into Shrouded City, not giving a chance for second thought.
Tifa paused for a moment, thinking it over, but she smiled. "I'd love to go with you, Axel. First asked, first served." She tried to joke, hooking her arm with his, but she wasn't a very funny person, that was Axel's job, though his are more on the cold and sarcastic sides. As they walked down the hall, she spotted a familiar blonde... Oh boy. Hopefully, she won't do anything. "Uh...Axel? Look in front." Giving her a tired and confused look, he followed her direction and almost wanted to yell right then and there. It was Larxene, why, in the world, was it Larxene? Of all people? And he could even spot Roxas from far away, and wondered if she said anything to him. Gazing at Tifa, he sent a secret message to just ignore her when passing her by. "She might bite my head off just for the hell of it like before." That behavior and action that she gave did it for him. Besides, he'd rather go to Roxas right this minute, and show off his new date.
OOC: Lol. I forget about that. Yeah, Axel did admit he likes Larxene, though to himself. Is semi-long post that I did around page 127 before I left xD. "At least I'm getting some real action, instead of looking for it in my weapons. That's just desperate, man," Axel countered boredly, holding back a tired sigh. He then gave Luxord a very dry look at his dumb smile. "And at least I have fangirls." Then he paid his attention back to Zexion, crossing his arms questionably, something he said making him ask, "And what do you mean, 'splitting up'? Larxene is waiting for me in her room. I just came to talk to you for a bit of your illusions."
I'll take Axel. Maybe I'll take Tifa too...
"And hello to you too, Mr. 'I Masturbate With My Cards'," Axel retorted wryly, before heading to the Cloaked Schemer. He had to almost balance himself as he almost tripped on something, and gave a slight glare to Zexion. He really needed some light in here. "Maybe I have wasted enough time, I just wanted to do some thinking. But I need your help."
*sighs* I'll take Axel then :3.
OOC: Ah, finally people. Hey Nymph, did you see that Axel finally admitted he likes Larxene? Just curious xP. Axel found himself portalling in Zexion's room, looking either creepily dark or without much light. It was no wonder people kept confusing him as emo, his room explains it all, he should redecorate. Now that he had finish his thinking and done answering what he was feeling and the decisions, he was finally ready to go work and prepare with Larxene. He walked around carefully, hearing Zexion's voice, and...Luxord's? What the hell will he be doing here? Well, forget it. He needed Zexion right now. "Yo, Zexion!"
"I think is better that way too," Tifa agreed with a nod, thinking over what was said. He really hadn't done anything wrong, Axel always told her if he started some type of fight like it was something to be proud of, but this time, he looked upset, angry, and jaded. She had never spoken to Preps, but now she didn't want to. If their behavor today was a example, she'd rather not. Especially that Riku guy who called him a 'b*tch". Wanting to help Axel sooth his thoughts out, she changed the subject. "I can't believe it. That Larxene was a piss off too. She was rude, demanding, and, in the words of Riku, a 'b*tch'. Don't worry about it. Now, what is it that you wanted to tell, since you were searching..." Axel just nodded at everything Tifa was saying, not really listening. He couldn't wait to tell Roxas this, though he'll probably wouldn't be surprised, or maybe he will. Now Axel figured out their true nature. What the hell was wrong with Larxene though? She could have at least had the f*cking decency to explain before she went all banshee on him. And a reminder: he needed to return Riku the favor of that punch back. It would be the polite thing to do. Hearing Tifa's comment, it was then he remembered the whole point of going to the school yard in the first place. There was nothing holding him back now, and the reluctance he had flew away in one slap. He gazed up at her sheepishly, "I was...going to ask you if you could come to the dance with me? You know, as friends. Though if you have a date, I'll understand...."
Tifa just eyed the girl increduously. What the hell is wrong with her? Shaking her head, she grabbed Axel's arm softly and took him away to somewhere more secluded, and he didn't seem to mind as he just gave the girl a weird look again. She knew Axel didn't need another problem, especially when he was calming down, and this girl was disrespectful. As they walked away inside the school, Tifa asked, "Why don't you just tell me what happened from the beginning?" Axel sighed as they stepped in, and strode down the hall. He didn't really feel like wanting to explain, but knowing her, Tifa won't let it go. "It all started with stupid Riku thinking that Larxene, the Prep, likes me, and that she wanted to go to the dance with me. He wanted to get Roxas' help to hook us up, but Roxas set to let it go. Then I went to talk to him, and we discussed, and I told him what happens when a Prep and Skater gets together. He understood. Then Larxene popped out of nowhere, and I left, but I stayed spying to listen to what they said. They were talking about some type of peace, but now I know that was utter, utter, bullsh*t. I was just looking for you when the whole thing happened. I didn't even KNOW what was going on. All I know is that I never want to interact with them again."
Axel just sighed into his pillow, resting his mind and body from the convulsion he had just gotten through, and from the solutions he had thought over. He shut his eyes tight, and it took awhile for him to calm all the emotion inside of him down. He had thought it over, and came to the fact that the 'feelings', since a Nobody aren't able to experience such a joy, was from his memories. What he remembered, but was it really just resonance? Simple things taken out of what it was like when he had a heart? He couldn't answer that one, so he let it go. He had also come to the conclusion that what he felt those times, were pain, or rather, hurt. And envy. He was jealous of Max, he is jealous of Marluxia, and he's hurt because the queer kissed Larxene, and now she's thinking over it, maybe even going with him in the end. And Axel couldn't bare that. Which brought him to another subject that he had answered as well. Did he like Larxene? Yes. He wasn't stupid enough to not know the signs. The kissing, the make-out sessions, the jealousy, the anger, the fact that she probably doesn't want him making him almost....he didn't know. Axel wasn't going to go in denial anymore, as is better to confront what is going on, and make sure to understand. But while he did like her, nobody could say that he can't separate from her web. He already started it anyway, and got her angry and upset. He will continue, as he couldn't allow his liking for her to get any deeper....if it didn't, hopefully. And Larxene will never know. From now, she'll be nothing more but a acquaintance, a member he could have a conversation with. No more bickering, no more pet names, no more jokes, no more flirting. He had to get away, even though he hates the thought. Larxene won't see the old Axel she knew, at least, not to her directly. Nodding in his conclusion, he slowly made his way up from the matress where he was laying down, and thought it a perfect time to see Zexion. He didn't know how much time he had wasted so far on his contemplations. OOC: Tainted love, ohhhh, tainted love...now I know I have to...get away... Lol. Kidding.
OOC: Gatekeeper, is not that I don't care, is that I didn't see it cause I was busy with the other RPs, is all. And the dance will come soon, just not now. Chill xDD. You'll see when. Axel just gave the unknown girl a "WTF" look. He didn't even know her and she was already going on about throwing her off. It wasn't like she mattered. Rolling his eyes, he turned to Tifa, a bit angered, but had managed to calm down a little. His blood was still rushing, and he was yet not to be infuriated, but he tried not to take it out on here. Heaving a breath, he closed his eyes, willing to control himself, and opened them again. "Nothing's wrong..." Tifa gave him a unbelieving look, and taking her hand off his shoulder, crossed her arms indignantly. "There's something wrong. I mean, you just don't get punched and slapped for no reason. I can't believe you talked to the Preps, see what trouble they got you into now? Weren't you always the one who told me to stay away?" "I did get punched and slapped for no reason," Axel corrected, grumbling at the thought, and clenching his fists. "Riku, cause I was hurting his friend, and I could have done much worse, and the other, that Larxene...she didn't even explain. She just blamed me for something I didn't even do, and went all crazy. You saw it. And yeah, they're nothing but scum. I didn't know why I even bothered..."
OOC: Thanks for waiting for my word if you could be him or not -_-. But yeah, you're him. But you got three now, and you can't be anymore, just a reminder *shrug*. So be sure that's what you want. And what you mean if Tifa goes here? Cloud belongs to the school too...o_O "Okay then, how about you get OUT of my way, b*tch?!" Axel shouted to whoever was bad mouthing him, he didn't even turn to look at the insolent girl, who he knew what her gender was by voice. He didn't feel like doing anything right now, except vent. Maybe he'd get back to his dorm and cool down, and forget about Larxene, and everything about it. He didn't even know what the hell he did wrong for her to attack him that way, and for real, he wouldn't care. Not anymore. Tifa just heard and watched the whole thing from the perspective she was placed in. And she was confused. Why would Axel associate with them, first of all? Did he actually talked to the Preps? Seeing him walking away towards the entrance with a huff, she followed, running to catch up with him. Hurrying, she got behind him, taking deep breaths, and held his shoulder gently. "Wait, Axel...w-what's wrong?"
"Why are you getting so mad?" Axel asked sardonically, grinning up at her. He made his way to stand up, still acting as if nothing meant anything. Really, why was she? She wasn't the one who was going through this, she didn't seem to understand what was wrong, so he did a good acting job, but of course, she couldn't care about him. Larxene was perhaps upset because he put a damper on her dreams of having something with Flower ***, and now she wanted to get this whole mission over with. And so did he. But he couldn't work with the circumstances. He was in no position or mood to go out and be spying when his own body was in a agonizing whirlwind of grief, or what he thought or remembered it was, because a Nobody isn't suppose to feel. Trying to think of a way to escape without making it too obvious that he was distressed, he quickly excused, "Fine then. Whatever floats your little boat. Though I'll look for Zexion, since is me who needs him. Just get prepared, and I'll be back." And before she could protest, he got covered in darkness and disappeared, transporting into his own room. Axel didn't care whether she'll go to Zexion, all he wanted was to deal with this for a moment. Just a moment.
Axel shook his head, chuckling, backing away from Larxene, his body glowing with a orange tint because of his fire and his outrage. He stared at her with a vengeance, despising her with his every being at this moment, and he was sick of it. Really, he was. Rubbing a hand to his cheek where she had slapped him, thankfully not finding it bleeding this time, he looked around, noticing they were getting a audience. Well, they were going to be disappointed. He set his eyes on Sora, then at Larxene, telling the conclusion he had reached in his mind outloud."I didn't do anything. You're the one that attacked me for nothing! I have nothing to explain to you. I'm finished with you, you and your little buddies. You know what? F*ck you. F*ck all of you. Tell that to Riku too. Don't talk to me, approach me, or even look at me, cause I swear to God I won't resist to kill any of you! I'm through. Hope you all burn in hell!" With a motion on his arms, making more of his point, he stomped away out of that corner, not bothering to give a backward glance. He hated Riku now, for butting into something that wasn't his problem, and acting like he actually cared about peace. Pfft. Liar. There should be his prove that Larxene never would like him. Maybe he'll shut up this time.
OOC: Wow, what a event. I wish something happen to see how Axel felt. Of course, nothing hazardous... And FOUR teeth? FOUR?! *shudder* I would freaking die. Seriously, you'll probably see me running away and out of there. Another painful pang was sent through Axel again at her next words, and now he really needed to portal away, just have time to think and show what he was truly feeling inwardly, without nobody seeing. He could care less about Marluxia, but what got to him was that Larxene could've actually been thinking this over. Like, she was considering the situation and what....what if that sparked something? And what if she went with him? And why the hell was this aggravating him so much?! Axel sent another chuckle, shaking his head as if what Marluxia said was absurd, and ******ed. He had to keep his front, even though a claw was gripping and squeezing his organs tight and not letting him breath. Not helping himself, and not able to stop it, he let out a shaky sigh, his lungs making his body tremble. To hide it, he pretended it was holding in a another fit of laughter, and that's what he did. Laughed. It was kind of funny, when he thought about it. Or maybe he was just getting twisted. His tone sounding so delighted, he said, "Oh, I'm sure he does. I wonder if he's fooling himself into having feelings? And what about you? Are you going ahead with the game? I mean, love..." Axel didn't mean to ask this particular one, but it came out without his consent.
Axel was officially lost on this. He was going to go after Riku and attack, not that the punch was really that hard, even he was a bit startled at how weak it was, but then she slapped him. For absolutely no freaking reason. Larxene had practically gone insane, not that she wasn't before. But, wow. And now he was furious. Raging, apathetic furious, and in such anger, that he couldn't even speak. And now there were more Preps surrounding this little session. But this was stupid. And he was done with this. Forget it. Forget Riku. Forget everything. He didn't want to deal with it anymore, with this group, he didn't want to talk to them, he didn't even want to see them. There were just as he thought they were.
Axel made a shushing gesture to keep quiet, and motioned her to close the door. Still with his hand on the mouthpiece, he answered cryptically, "To Naminé. Someone is there, I guess, I don't know. And Larxene? What did you find out?!" He took the speaker away from his ear for awhile, but close to hear if Naminé conversed again. This was interesting, and important. This could either be for Demyx's advantage, or for no one's. Though he didn't feel like hearing the answer right now. What if it was bad news? For him?
Axel almost gaped, at the irony of finding her here, and that she was talking to one of his fellow skaters. Getting his speech back, he was about to ask her what she was doing here, until the insane beast started punching and screaming at him, and he coudln't be more flabbergasted. What the hell? What was his fault? Grabbing her wrists roughly with his hands, to stop her from giving more damage, he forcibly placed them down on her sides, his grip not in any lessening. She was trying to get out of it, but he wasn't going to let her, and kept her fists locked. His expression turning serious, he narrowed his eyes, glaring at her piercingly, yet his voice remained deadly and dangerously calm, one Saïx would be proud of, "What the f*ck is your problem? I did nothing to you. Tell me, what's my fault, because I surely don't remembered giving a second glance, or even a first , at you." Tifa stared at the scene, absolutely dumbfounded, not knowing at all what was going on. Was this one of the heartbroken girls that Axel had hurt, or what this something else? And why would it be a Prep, of all things? Last time she had talked to him, he was expressing utter hatred for them. Breathing quickly at the display, she figured it was better to give them privacy. This looked serious, and she didn't want to be the odd one and disrespect whatever they were going to go through. Walking carefully out, looking at the two with a worried glance, she got out of the corner, but not going too far. If Axel was there, he was obviously searching for her, so she wouldn't disappear again. She ignored a silver-haired Prep that was annoying her for no reason, and went to lay on a close wall, crossing her arms. She was near enough hear them, and that's what she wanted.
