try to understand what is eating you

[He rather wanted to see Akane but that would have to wait for another time, unless the Axel he's looking for is still with her. This Axel is checking the other's room first, though, just to make sure. There are some things he wants to clear up, some things he wants to talk about. Maybe it's none of his business, but when has that ever stopped him? Axel knocks softly on the door to selfishprick's room.]

[he's on the bed, looking miserable. broken ribs, thick bruises on his neck in the shape of fingers]

Come in.

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

[Ah, good, he's there. Axel pushes the door open and arches a brow at the other redhead's state. Really?]

... [He sighs and approaches the bed.] What happened to you?

[selfishprick.livejournal.com]

Three guesses and the first two don't count.

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

Saix. [It's a statement, not a guess. Axel looks the other over, touching lightly at those bruises on his neck.]

[selfishprick.livejournal.com]

[nods, tilting his head back a little with a soft pained gasp]

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

You're an idiot, you know that? [He pulls his hand away, glancing around the room.] Do you have any potions?

[selfishprick.livejournal.com]

[sighs softly]

I know.

[thinks for a moment]

Bathroom, I think.

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

[He nods and goes in there to look, finding one in a moment and returning, opening it.] Can you swallow?

[selfishprick.livejournal.com]

Hurts, but I can.

[parts his lips, reluctant to raise his hands to take the potion bottle]

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

[He puts the bottle to the other's mouth and tips it slowly, until he's finished it, but he doesn't go to get another one.] Your ribs... [Just an observation. The potion should help with whatever internal bleeding he's dealing with, and the pain.]

What'd you do to piss him off this time?

[selfishprick.livejournal.com]

The demon was pissed that I love Juliet.

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

... You're an idiot.

[selfishprick.livejournal.com]

... I know.

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

So if you know, why are you still trying? He's messed up, Axel, he tried to kill you! And your daughter...

[selfishprick.livejournal.com]

... I love him.

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

Why?

[selfishprick.livejournal.com]

I can't explain it. No one gets it anyway.

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, but... You can't really believe anything good will come of trying to have a relationship with him, can you?

[selfishprick.livejournal.com]

Relationship?

[he laughs bitterly]

He'll never date me.

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

[He rolls his eyes.] You know what I meant. This is bad for you, Ax. It's bad for you, and your friends, and anyone else that tries to get close to you.

[selfishprick.livejournal.com]

You sound like 'Xene.

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, maybe that's because she's right.

[selfishprick.livejournal.com]

[he just sighs, looking away from the other man]

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

You don't wanna give up on him, I get that. You think he's still in there. And maybe he is, I don't know. But you're not helping him... He's only going to keep getting worse.

I'm sorry. I'm just worried about you.

[selfishprick.livejournal.com]

I have to try. I'll never forgive myself if I don't.
