[ Oh shit, it's Larx. Or actually, it isn't. Not the one most people are familiar with. It's his much older, future self, hanging out on the roof of the elevator in the apartments, where he can't be seen or sensed until it's too late. He's just waiting for random passerby to harass, maybe kill, maybe gut and hang from their own intestines down the fronts of buildings... It's been a long time since he's had any fun around here, between how dull this current timeline is and the people in it. He's looking for some good fun or some good bait. But he's not picky, and he's terribly patient. ]

[as something of a favour to Riku, Nami's been trying to keep his use of portals down to a minimum to keep his heart safe. as it's been several days since he's gotten it, he's more or less stable, and back to his normal quiet self. heck, the way he acts even with a heart, people who haven't been informed might not even know. in any case, he's returning home after doing a small shop. he never ate properly as a Nobody, but he certainly needs to now.]

[Forget Christmas, this is like his birthday. Nami's just one of very few faces that infuriate him (as much as he can be infuriated) on sight, no matter what kind of person that face belongs to. Namis, Namines... they're all the same to him. This one, though, is much more precious. He's going to wait until they're nice and in the middle of wherever they're going, and so the doors are trapped against wall and not a floor before he cuts off the power.]

[his head tilts slightly at the sudden power outage. it makes him a bit cautious, as this isn't a thing that regularly happens, especially not on one's own. he could see it happening with two people who aren't fond of each other, or are too fond of each other but don't want to admit it, but what's the point when he's on his own? it seems he'll have to give in and open a portal after all.]

[No, no, I don't think so. If he even tries, a hand will shoot out of it to grab for his throat.]

[he did, but that has him stopping abruptly and freezing in terror. oh, no. this is very bad. this is very bad.]

[Larxene pulls himself half out of the portal, enough that just his head and shoulders have made it through. He's grinning like the Cheshire Cat, voice low and almost breathless.]

Look at the mouse I've caught.

[he doesn't say a word, just staring at Larxene in fear. he would have been completely fine never seeing another version of him ever again.]

Are you scared?

[He tightens his grip, gives Nami a good shake by his throat.]

Are you ready to die?

N...No.

[he's definitely not ready to die. especially not now that he can feel. even if he didn't want it at first, he's not ready to possibly lose this heart from dying.]

No? You're not scared? Well look at you.

[He tightens his grip enough to cut off any airflow, grin wide and manic.]

[well that sure keeps him from correcting Larxene! his eyes go wide and his hands go up to try and loosen the one at his throat. it's too bad Larxene is wearing gloves, because otherwise he'd become rather aware of Nami's racing pulse.]

[Psh, as if he needed correcting. He knew that wasn't really what Nami was saying. His hand doesn't budge or relax a bit.]

Give me something better than that.

[he doesn't respond, obviously, instead clawing at Larxene's hand like it's going to make any sort of difference. what happens if tears start gathering in the corners of his eyes?]

[It's something better! It's not what he expected, though, and his eyes narrow.]

You are afraid.

[And Nami will be able to hear all of the disgust in his voice when he says that. Because that is wrong.]

[is he still being choked? because running out of breath is probably a lot more of a deal now than it used to be for him.]

[No. Larxene lets go, but gives him a hard shove in the chest with the heel of his palm. He wants him up against the wall.]

[he nearly falls to his knees instead, but hits the wall and manages to stop himself from sliding down too much, gasping for breath and rubbing his throat.]

[Good for him. And now there's a small bolt of lightning to bring him to his knees on Larxene's terms.]

[he cries out and falls, wincing as his knees hit the floor. he's so completely terrified right now, it feels like his heart's trying to escape his chest. he doesn't like this feeling at all.]

[Larxene grabs him by the front of his hair, wrenching his head back in a way that's probably very painful.]

Pathetic.

[he lets out a pained noise, grimacing and squinting up at Larxene through tears. he's having to crush down the urge to apologize. it's sad how easily he falls back into things.]

[He's going to rip some of Nami's hair out with how much he's tugging and yanking and just how tight of a grip he has.]

I knew it would happen sooner or later but already? Are you happy?

I-I didn't go looking for it, it happened on Christmas.

[he winces again, squeezing his eyes shut for a moment.]

I'm... I'm not happy. It's strange.

[He leans down close, electricity crackling over his fingers.]

Do you want it out?

[he'd cringe back if he could.]

I don't think you can get the right one out properly.
