Hey love, I am a constant satellite of your blazing sun.

[ooc: Back from Candy Mountain~ 83 Finally, lolz.]

[looking a bit better since last week, there's more color to his face and he's less tired - a bandage rests across the side of his neck and he has a few sheets of music set in his hand]

[leaning against the wall outside of a room with A-X-E-L burnt into the door, the same name is scrawled across the top of the sheet music - his sitar resting against the wall next to him like it's his best friend]

[studying the music, trying to memorize the notes, counting with his fingers - eventually places it down and takes up his sitar to play out the melody as well as he can remember]

[leans his head back against the wall and closes eyes, smiling peacefully, taking in every note.]

[looks back down at his playing as he brings it to an end] ...This might be the best reminder.

[comes into view, clapping]

Encore, encore!

I see you're taking things well, Myde.

[sitarwithmytoes.livejournal.com]

[tightens his grip on his sitar, at the sight of her - keeps his expression neutral, but clenching his teeth]

I'm okay.

[lingerieslut.livejournal.com]

[just happens to be walking by, pausing as he spots the dirty blond. he listens to the melody before speaking, not wanting to startle him]

That was beautiful.

[sitarwithmytoes.livejournal.com]

[looks up, frowns slightly at the sight of an Axel - but at least it's an Axel he knows.]

[calm smile] Thanks. That means a lot. [places his sitar against the wall and picks up the sheet music to look over it once more] ...This is my favorite, really.

[lingerieslut.livejournal.com]

[notes the name burned into the door, and the one scrawled across the paper]

... did you lose him?

[sitarwithmytoes.livejournal.com]

... Yeah. [smiles, though it's a little difficult]

[swallows] He's back in his world, though... So it's easier to be at peace with it.

[studying Axel's face with a sad smile] I'm trying to cope... but I don't want to forget anything.
So... this song helps keep it fresh in my memory. [a little embarrassed, smile widens]

[lingerieslut.livejournal.com]

That's real sweet, sugar.

[he's settling next to the other, putting a comforting hand on his shoulder]

Is there anything I can do?

[sitarwithmytoes.livejournal.com]

[scratches the back of his head] Uh, yeah...

[leans against the doorframe and slides down to the floor with his sitar]

Well, no...

[glances to the side, some company would be nice.]

But... Would you mind listening to another song?

[lingerieslut.livejournal.com]

I'd love to.

[he's smiling ever so sweetly, crossing his ankles as he wiggles to get comfortable]

[sitarwithmytoes.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[plays something else, this time just improv, but it sounds similar to the first piece]

[playing slows after a while, making it a bit quieter so he can speak] So how've you been? I haven't seen you since the ball.

[lingerieslut.livejournal.com]

[a heel-encased toe taps along with the notes, and then he's turning to look at him]

Ah, I've been alright, I suppose. I found a boyfriend... he's you, actually. Got turned into a cat. Had tits for a few days...

[grins at that, emerald eyes sparkling]

Did you ever get to show off your outfit?

[sitarwithmytoes.livejournal.com]

[laughs] Me, huh? Sounds pretty crazy... I noticed the animals around here. [grins] But you seem happy, right?

Oh... [looks down, turns a bit red] Y-yeah, yeah, I did. [looks up at him with a smile] Thanks again, for that. Made for some good memories. [nervous laugh]

[lingerieslut.livejournal.com]

Y-yeah, I'm happy.

[smiles at that, even laughing a little at that blush]

I knew he'd like it~

[leans in, kissing his cheek]

You're more than welcome, sweetheart.

[sitarwithmytoes.livejournal.com]

Good.

Stay that way for me.

[laughs, reflecting on it] Yeah, I wasn't too sure... Then he surprised me, turns out he was into that kind of thing too. You were right afterall. [smiles- oop, kissed while off guard] .... [looks over at Axel]

[shrugs] ...S'not the same, when it's from another Axel. [his smile returns, looks down and goes back to playing out whatever melody comes to him]

[lingerieslut.livejournal.com]

A lot more people are into it then you think, they just never consider the possibility.

[smiles then shakes his head]

I don't expect to be a replacement for your loss, sugar.

[sitarwithmytoes.livejournal.com]

Heh, I never would've thought...

[Erk!] Oh, no, no... I didn't mean it that way. [nervous laugh] Just thinking outloud.

Not to be rude, but I don't think any other Axel could compare anyway. [smiles]
I'm sure you understand that kind of thing, since there are so many of me, right?

[lingerieslut.livejournal.com]

[brushes a hand over Demyx's]

I know, sugar. Just like you are not the same as my Demyx though you share the same face.

[sitarwithmytoes.livejournal.com]

[nervous grin] Yeah, exactly.

[sighs.] It's... difficult, though. Seeing his face everywhere. Photos are different - seeing other people is just frustrating.

[lingerieslut.livejournal.com]

I can only imagine, Demyx. I'm... so sorry.

[sitarwithmytoes.livejournal.com]

[touched by his sympathy - hasn't spoken with too many people since it happened]

...Thanks. Axel.

...Anyway! [plays a happy little chord on his sitar] I've decided not to be depressed anymore. Even if I want to be, I can't be. So says me.

[plucks a few strings] How's your Demyx with the sitar? Any good?

[lingerieslut.livejournal.com]

I've never seen him play, to be honest. Every time we're together, music isn't exactly a topic that comes up...

[cheeky grin with a hint of a blush]

Fricking typos.

[sitarwithmytoes.livejournal.com]

[arches an eyebrow and smiles] Ohhh. I know how that is. [quiet laugh, continues playing]

Oh yeah, blame the typos. P:

[lingerieslut.livejournal.com]

[there's a pretty little blush on his cheeks, a bit darker now]

Mm, yeah. Raging hormones, or something. I blame being a cat.

[sitarwithmytoes.livejournal.com]

[quirks an eyebrow and stares]

You had sex while you were cats?

[lingerieslut.livejournal.com]

[starts laughing]

Oh god, no, no. I was picking on him. The sex didn't happen until after the spell wore off.
