wish away the nightmare

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[Having woken up before Riku, his sleep troubled by unpleasant flashbacks of his recent death, Axel got dressed as quietly as he could manage and has wandered (carefully; sore? a little) into the kitchen. He's not sure he could stomach food right now, but he could really use something to drink... Tea sounds tolerable.]

One year.

[sips calmly.]

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

...

Then you don't need to know. [Nevermind that his brain just broke a little trying to figure out how that works. It's too early.]

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

I already know lots of stuff.

[and now he's curious. D:]

I'm not a kid. I'm a replica.

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

...

My ass hurts. [Does that answer his question? Unless he was asking about all his scars, Axel realizes... Because that doesn't really explain why he's all scarred up.] What happened to your eye?

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[but why would that be inappropriate for young people?
while Roxas is very much aware of sex theoretically he knows very little of practically.]

A crazy Saïx with a sharp object happened.

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

Wow, that sounds familiar...

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

You ran into him too?

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

More than once.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

Same here. He killed me the first time and left me paralyzed the second.

[gets up, pours himself a new cup, then sits down again.]

Somehow I don't think he likes me.

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

Sounds like we have something in common. He tried to kill me a long time ago and would have succeeded if Roxas hadn't shown up... Then he finally finished the job recently. [Shudders just thinking about it.]

I get the feeling he doesn't much care for me, either.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

Huh. Sounds like we do.

[sips tea. it's hard to tell if he's really not bothered by all of this or if he just pretends not to be.]

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[He's quiet for a moment, looking down at his tea.]

So you're a replica?

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

Mhm. Dr. Even's first attempt and possibly also last attempt at creating a replica of Sora.

[leans his chin in his hand. he's getting a bit tired of telling everyone this story and yet he keeps telling it.]

Needless to say it was a failure.

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

Oh... [He's not going to inquire further. It's not really any of his business, he was just wondering why a replica of Roxas existed. He gets it, though. Sort of. There's a reason he isn't a scientist.]

Well, not that my opinion's worth much, but I like Roxases better than Soras anyway.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[he laughs lightly.]

Too bad people keep telling me I behave more like a Sora than a Roxas, then.

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

Haha, I don't see it, but maybe I'm just used to the more annoying brand of Sora.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

Or maybe you just caught me on a more mellow day?

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

Maybe. You've definitely caught me on an off day.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[nods and sighs softly.]

I wish I could make it better.

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[Here, Roxas, have a smile.] The tea's helped. Thanks.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

[yay, he's helpful!]

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[Hooray for helpful. Axel finishes his tea and gets up to take care of the empty cup.]

gotta go. see ya~

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[he hurries to his feet and takes Axel's cup.]

I can take care of it.

bye o/

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[Impressive. He hadn't even made it out of his seat.] Oh, uh... Thanks. [Axel settles back in his chair. He'd rather stay here than go back to his room and face awkward times with Riku.]

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[he hums softly while he grabs his own cup and walks over to the sink to wash them.
