'cause I'd be scared that there's nothing underneath

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

[Axel's in a bathroom making faces at himself in the mirror with the door open. Well, more like he's making a disgruntled face at the freshly healed flesh on his chest. The skin's a little red, but it doesn't look too bad; hopefully it won't scar. He really doesn't want another one of those--or else one of these days he'll end up looking like his futureself.

Sighing, he picks up his coat and starts to put it back on, then remembers the large gaping hole burned into the front. Well. Nevermind, then. He'll just be cleaning up the mess of potion bottles and bloodied towels he's left in the bathroom.]

[this one has a huge habit of forgetting there are faces he knows here, so when he sleepily drags himself into the bathroom, the sight of Axel makes him jump.]

A-ah, sorry! [doesn't really get a chance to glance at his chest yet-- thank god-- and turns around to go.]

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

Ah, uh, no, my bad! Should have closed the door. Heh, it's okay, I'm done, just cleaning up real quick... [Whoops, sorry, Sora. He's grabbing the towels and his coat in a hurry, then, to vacate.]

[notsun.livejournal.com]

It's fine! I just needed to wash my face, I wasn't even sure if I was gonna shower.

[rubs his arm a little, smiling softly at him.]

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

Ah, well, it's all free. [Hopefully he'd cleaned all the blood out of the sink, too... Whoops, don't mind him, he's just tripping over his own coat as he tries to leave.]

[notsun.livejournal.com]

... are you okay?

[Sora suddenly asks halfway in the bathroom with his hand on the door frame.]

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

Yeah... [He manages to catch himself before he completely falls, so yeah, he's okay. Ignore the blood, please, Sora .__. ]

M'fine.

[notsun.livejournal.com]

[Sora? ignoring someone in pain? hells to the no, he gasps and rushes right to Axel's side, attempting to hold him up even if he's pretty much a foot shorter.]

I don't think you are.

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

What? Oh, no, really, it's healed, I was just cleaning up. [He ruffles Sora's hair, holding the towels and his coat aside to show off the recently healed skin on his chest] See?

[notsun.livejournal.com]

[tugs his bottom lip between his teeth because for one, the Axel in his world was a badass who could take on anything and smile about it, so seeing Axel with a wound like that, stumbling around, made his stomach turn. he himself is still a novice at fighting-- how would he even stand a chance?

so many things running through Sora's head that it takes him a moment to actually speak up again.]

You should lay down ... do you need help getting to your room?

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[comes in, sans Akane. hopefully it isn't a men's bathroom, because she didn't bother to look first.]

Oh. Didn't realize there was someone in here.

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

[Larxene is pretty much a man anyway. He glances up when he hears her.] Oh, it's okay, I was on my way out...

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[Mpreg?] I was just going to wash up anyway.

[gestures to the towels] Someone's been having fun, I see.

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

[Ack! Axel makes a face down at the towels.] I wouldn't exactly call it fun. [Just bandaging the wound hadn't worked well enough for his liking, so he'd used a potion, but the burn hadn't really liked having the bandages pulled off it and he made a bit of a mess.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Good to know someone else is having a worse time than me.

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

You... Talked to Axel? [Well, he'd assume, unless someone else was watching the baby.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[clenches her fist at her side]

I did.

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

[By her reaction, he can also assume how that went.]

I'm sorry.

[destati-13.livejournal.com]

[Well, since Axel didn't bother to shut the door or anything, it's hard not to just stop in the doorway and watch him make disgruntled faces at himself in the mirror. Roxas would be more amused by it if there weren't bloody towels and potion bottles nearby, and what looked like a newly healed wound on his chest.]

... You okay?

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

I am now... [He answers distractedly, picking up the last towel and the wad of bloody bandages. When Axel glances up, he's rather surprised. Whoops.] Oh, uh. Hey. I'd kind of hoped you wouldn't.. See this.

[destati-13.livejournal.com]

[He raises a brow slightly at the bloody bandages, leaning against the frame of the door a little. It isn't hard to tell from the look on the redhead's face that he wasn't expecting to see him, though.]

Why? Did you not want me to know that you got into a fight with "Saïx"...?

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

Well, I just... I dunno. I didn't want you to worry? Uh... How did you know?

[destati-13.livejournal.com]

[frowns a bit] You always get mad at me when I say that... And you don't really get attacked by any other people.

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

Yeah... Sorry. [He shrugs, rubbing at the back of his neck with his free hand, the other one holding a bundle of bloody laundry at his side.]

[destati-13.livejournal.com]

It's okay... It's more important that you're alright. [He can't exactly be mad at Axel for not wanting to tell him, when he hadn't exactly told the other everything either.]

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

Yeah... It's fine with a capital F, see? [He taps his chest, then winces with a weak chuckle. Still tender.] Eh... Maybe not quite yet...
