'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.]

[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.

[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]

[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]

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]

[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]

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

M'fine.

[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.

[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]

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

I'm sorry.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

I don't want your pity, thanks.

[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?

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

... Well fine. [He'd stick his tongue out at her but that feels just a little bit too immature for him. He's not being negative, really, he's just being a smartass. Axel tosses his coat over his shoulder and checks the sink to make sure he hadn't missed any towels.] I'll just get out of your way then.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Oh? I thought you'd want to know what he said.

[runs a bit of water in the sink once he's checked it.]

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

If you're willing to share, yeah. [He pauses by the door, tilting his head.] I just assumed he was still being stubborn about staying with Saix...

[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?

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

Nah, kid, I'm fine, really. [He shrugs a little. So maybe he's a little unsteady on his feet, oh well.] Unless you're going to be stubborn about it...

[notsun.livejournal.com]

[juuust smiles, keeping his grip around Axel's waist.]

I swear I'll leave you alone when we get there.

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

Hah, suuure you will. [He chuckles a little, hiding his wince. His chest is still a little tender.] Alright, it's this way. [And he's headed off towards his room.]

[notsun.livejournal.com]

[this is nice, he thinks, he knows it would've been a much better outcome back in his world instead of constant battles, but maybe it's better that way.]

This it?

[he points across from them after a bit of walking, looking up at Axel.]
