Gotta love sarcasm.

[curiosity had the better of him]

What's wrong with you?

Very little, honestly. I just have a tendency to complain when things don't go my way.

Ah, I see.

What happened then? If you don't mind my asking.

[reaches into one of his pockets, pulling out a small bottle of tylenol]

Here, looks like you need some of these.

I've spent a lot of time observing this whole room, and I don't like what I've seen so far. But it doesn't look like I'm leaving any time soon.

... And not to seem ungrateful, but do pills really work on Nobodies?

I haven't been paying attention to... well, anything. Running into people you don't like or something?

[blinks a little, never heard of that term before]

I'm not sure what a Nobody is, but hey... if your head hurts it means you have a brain, right? This works on brains. Or other limbs and muscles that hurt. Trust me on that- I have a tendency to hurt most of the time.

[ only grows more frustrated at how clueless Roxas is. knows there's nothing to gain from letting it get the better of him, and takes the painkillers. ]

I'll give you a more heart-felt apology once the pounding has stopped. [ don't mind how easily he can swallow a few without water. ]

Are you clumsy or just sick?

[shrugs his shoulders]

Apologize for what? I don't need one.

[smooths out his shirt]

Neither. I just get into fights I can't win. The last time was almost the last time, and I'm paying for it.

It's kids like you that kill kids like me, Roxas.

[frowns]

What do you mean?

You can't keep out of trouble and it drives me crazy. I mean, who's got my back if you're gone?

...

I don't mean to- and I'm sure the Roxas you know doesn't mean to either. I don't like worrying people, and I sure do it a lot. But things just happen.

And I'm sure you'd be fine, Axel...

I'm fine on my own, but I need a partner in crime.

[gives a small smile]

If I were healthier I'd offer my services. I can trip someone real good, though. So you come and see me if you need some legwork done.

How's your head?

The headache's fading bit by bit. You pulled one heck of a magic trick.

That's me. Master of all medications.

[wiggles his fingers in a 'mystical' manner]

You're a regular witchdoctor.

[grins]

I'm glad I can be of help. The Axel I know is always helping me... so the fact that I can help an Axel... well, it's a nice feeling.

If he shows up, I'll let him know he has a good best friend.

Mm... he's around somewhere. Just look for the Dr. Axel. And if you see him, you tell him I'm a lot better... so he can take me for that date anytime now.

Because I'm sure he won't take my word for it.

I'll let him know when I see him.

[looks hesitant, like he half expects to be attacked]

Do you have a headache...?

What else could I possibly have? Besides a brain tumor or damage from a seizure.

[small smile]

You could have a brain tumor or seizure damage?

[attempts the small joke, hopeful]

I don't know which I prefer.

[small smile widens-- he hasn't been attacked yet!]

Would you like some pain pills? I always keep some one me.

I got a few already. If they don't work soon, I'll harass you.

[nodnod]

Alright...I hope those work for you~

So do I.

[Picks at his clothes, the last time he saw an Axel... it was in his world and they had a huge fight- so he's a little cautious]

...

Do... you need anything?

I got something from a twin of yours, but if you really want to do something, you can get me a drink.

[ lol what is shame? ]

[Wishes he was naive... or something. Maybe it wasn't what he was thinking, but he stared nonetheless]

W-Wait... you got something? From... a version of me?

...

Something.

[now his head hurt. Shaking his head he searched his backpack- something he filled with food and water bottles for when he decided to explore this place for hours at a time. Finding a bottle of water, he offered it, unable to look Axel in the eye now]

Uh... here.

[ wary, he takes it, but keeps his eye on him. ]

What's your story?

[shies away only slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable]

I was leaving for a couple of days... I don't know where I was going, I just wanted to go. ...You know what I mean?

[rubs the back of his neck]

Left on a sour note... and now I'm here. Nothing much to say, really.

[ if that's not a blast from the blast, he doesn't know what is. ]

Do you know where you're going yet?

[shrugs]

I don't know... I didn't really think it through. And now that I'm here I guess it doesn't matter.

[not like his mind was thinking of that anyway. Stares at Axel for a minute]

What exactly did you get?

Oh. [ taps his head. ] Medicine for a headache. I swallowed it dry and it left me with a bad taste in my mouth.

[ so he uncaps the water bottle and drinks. ]

[lets out one hell of a sigh]

That's what you meant!?

[blushes horribly, rubbing his face.]

And here I thought... ... never mind what I thought.

[ gives him a dry look. ]

... Are you serious?

[ he knows what he mistook it for. ]

[still blushing, he felt like an idiot]

W-Well! The way you said it!

[looks away with a frustrated sigh]

[ just. doesn't know. ]

Did I say anything remotely... pg-13?

Well... no.

[waves a hand]

J-Just forget it. Please.

Slip up again and I'll start thinking things.

[blushes harder]

Oh shut up.

Tell me more about my eyes~

[ l- lol asshole Axel is an asshole. ]

[huffs, shooting a glare at him- although half-heartedly]

I almost forgot how much of an asshole you can be.

Now you'll remember for sure.
