kingdomdressing | I am a moth who just wants to share your light

[flops in an chair across from Axel, legs hanging over the arm] Hey.

No, it's not. [smiles] I've gotten along okay, so far.

Oh yeah? [drops his hands, looking over at the Roxas] That's good. I think this place just has it out for certain people.

Yeah. [nods]

And yeah, I've heard that... I've been okay so far, but I'm trying to be cautious.

Seems like anything could just pop out - not too different from home, haha.

Oh yeah? Interesting life back home?

[happy to be talking with an Axel again, misses the one he knew] Not what I'd call interesting, but at least different. Dad owned a haunted house and I helped run things. [shrugs] I'm surprisingly normal compared to a lot of people around here.

... Huh, apparently. Normal's nice, though, it's when it gets complex that you've gotta be careful.

This place made my life ten times worse.

[here Axel, have a lap full of sleepy Roxas.]

[Oh, hey. Axel shifts to try and help Roxas get comfortable]

M'sorry... Anything I can do?

There's something you shouldn't do, and that's doing something completely-fucking-stupid.

[mumbles bitterly, pressing his face against Axel's thigh.]

[scratches lightly at the back of Roxas' head] Any specifics you have in mind or just generally stupid? Because if you think I won't find some stupid mess to get myself into, you don't know me very well.

My stepbrother is a closet fag and decided not to tell my best friend, the boy who's been going gaga for him forever, right when it's too late and the damn kid's too fucking wound up in dating a mirror version of himself.

Who the hell does that.

[runs his fingers through his hair with an aggravated sigh.]

Now I'm scared shitless about Riku. He doesn't have anything else to hide-- at least I don't think-- and he'll probably be over exaggeratedly miserable about his own fuckup forever so I'll have to babysit him to make sure he doesn't commit suicide..

--and then there's Sora who's probably going to be so wound up about his ~great discovery~ that he's going to make his new boyfriend feel like a shithead.

... Okay, that about tops anything I've done in the past week or so.

[He sighs, tracing idle circles over Roxas' shoulderblades with a hand.] Maybe the mirror Sora will understand and back off so the other two crazy kids can hook up.

Nn..

[man, that feels good. he's been craving the contact he's been denying himself from Sora because he's pissed at everything. his voice drops to a mumble again.]

The thing is, I liked the kid. My best friend. I don't know where it started and I never planned to do anything about it, but back home this would've been easier, y'know? Sora would've hitched with my stepbrother eventually and I'd just get the hell over it because I figured that's how it'd work.

But no, this place does stupid shit to everyone's head and for some reason it's the new hottest thing to date yourself.

[maybe he's close minded, but he just doesn't get it.]

[It is rather strange. He doesn't think he could ever get with another of himself, but maybe that's just because Axel's so incompatible with his own personality.]

That's basically masturbation, in my opinion.

... Are you sure that 'liked' is past tense?

[His hand keeps at it, fingers kneading at some of the tension between his shoulderblades.]

I don't know, honestly. Right now I could-- ahh.. right there..

[fuck talking, obligatory back massage is a go.]

Yeah? [Brings his other hand into play, then, working at that spot then branching out a little, thumbs pressing little circular motions into the base of his neck]

Aww, having a hard time, Larxy?

I figured everyone knew that.

[leans on the couch]

Sorry, it would seem I'm out of the loop. The usual woes or is there a story this time?

Leeeet's just say another version of you fucked up, and leave it at that.

That's what we do. [sighs]

Wait, didn't I tell you already?

[Nope, just his past self~]

Maybe. But if you have, he hasn't told me yet.

... But, uh- he's you.
