screaming for the end

[abovetheflames.livejournal.com]

[better watch out for that blindfolded Axel wandering through the hallways.]

Man, this place stinks.

Comments

[valorgasmic.livejournal.com]

Man, you said it.

[abovetheflames.livejournal.com]

[derp derp derp, honing in on that voice now.]

Sora?

[unwillingminion.livejournal.com]

No arguments here.

[valorgasmic.livejournal.com]

Yes~?

[abovetheflames.livejournal.com]

[Bond of Flame in ur face.]

You're coming with me.

[valorgasmic.livejournal.com]

W-what-- no way!

[Star Seeker and the Kingdom Key blocking fo sho.]

[abovetheflames.livejournal.com]

It'd be more fun if there were.

[unwillingminion.livejournal.com]

[she shrugs.]

What, you want me to say this is the most interesting place in the universe?

[abovetheflames.livejournal.com]

[two keyblades? yep, that's gotta be Sora.]

Do I look like I'm giving you a choice?

[Dark Firaga forming at the tip of the blade.]

[abovetheflames.livejournal.com]

Hey, at least it'd give me a chance to knock you down.

[destinedtinsel.livejournal.com]

[... watches him, leaning back.]

[abovetheflames.livejournal.com]

[ugh, smells like darkness.]

Got a problem?

[destinedtinsel.livejournal.com]

[ugh so do you.]

Never seen an Axel with a blindfold before. Let me guess, your best friend's Roxas, you're trying to get Sora so they can merge and Roxas can wake up?

[obsolete13th.livejournal.com]

Duh.

[abovetheflames.livejournal.com]

...yeeeah, that's a pretty good summation.

[destinedtinsel.livejournal.com]

Thought so. Carry on your business.

[abovetheflames.livejournal.com]

[h-hey hold on a sec.]

...Rox?

[obsolete13th.livejournal.com]

Uh, yeah.

[part-of-another.livejournal.com]

[Roxas is in a pretty cheery mood at the moment.]

It's not me. I just took a shower, thanks.

[And then he actually notices the blindfold.]

Wait. Axel? Why do you have that blindfold on?

[abovetheflames.livejournal.com]

Hey-hey-hey, hold up. How'd you know all that?

[destinedtinsel.livejournal.com]

I'm magical.

[abovetheflames.livejournal.com]

You're not supposed to be here.

[obsolete13th.livejournal.com]

Oh? Why not?

[abovetheflames.livejournal.com]

[a littleconfused by the identical voices coming from different directions.]

You wouldn't remember.

[abovetheflames.livejournal.com]

[a barking laugh.]

Y'know, that's actually believable.

[abovetheflames.livejournal.com]

...it'd take too long to explain.

[suddenly turns towards him.]

Wait, you said you don't remember? So maybe it did work.

[obsolete13th.livejournal.com]

What are you walking about?

[abovetheflames.livejournal.com]

's nothing. It's just good to see you back to normal, y'know?

[would totally give Roxas a pat on the back if he could see him.]

[part-of-another.livejournal.com]

[Roxas is circling around you now, eying your new "accessory" with some concern. He knows that Rikus sometimes wear these -- and he has yet to get an answer as to why -- but this is a first for him to see an Axel like this.]

If it has anything to do with the time I was in the Organization, I probably don't remember.

[obsolete13th.livejournal.com]

I.. don't know you.

[abovetheflames.livejournal.com]

--the Organization? Did you hit your head inside that glass flower or something?

[turning slowly to keep up with his voice.]

[abovetheflames.livejournal.com]

[iconiconicon.]

...no way.

[obsolete13th.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I don't.

[abovetheflames.livejournal.com]

No. No fucking way do I go through all of this just to have you forget--

[breaks off, turns away.]

[obsolete13th.livejournal.com]

You gonna be okay?

[part-of-another.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you know. Organization XIII. [puzzled]

Glass flower? I never was in--

Oh. [It's starting to make some sense now.]

That was Sora. Not me.

[abovetheflames.livejournal.com]

[just waves over his shoulder and starts walking.]

[abovetheflames.livejournal.com]

...nnnno, it wasn't.

[his mouth twists.]

Look, Roxas, if this is supposed to be a joke--

[part-of-another.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't joke about this. [very serious]

Wait a minute. [Abruptly stretches a hand out towards Axel's chest, not actually touching him, but his fingers are a hairsbreadth away from the area right over his heart--

And, just as suddenly, he pulls his hand back.]

You're not a Nobody, are you?

[abovetheflames.livejournal.com]

[he can sense the movement in the air, and instinctively snakes a hand out to grab Roxas's wrist.]

Tell me what's going on.

[part-of-another.livejournal.com]

[Makes a small noise of surprise at having his wrist caught.]

Since when do you have a heart?

[It can't be ... can it?]

[abovetheflames.livejournal.com]

...since I was born?

[he's not even trying to figure this out anymore, just assumes that Kairi did something to Roxas's head while he was in the pod.]

[part-of-another.livejournal.com]

[Suddenly shakes his head and sighs. It's the whole multiple universes thing again, isn't it?

But this Axel actually has a heart....]

As far as you know, Sora is my Nobody, isn't he? [hazards a guess]

[abovetheflames.livejournal.com]

What, are you implying that you're Sora's? C'mon, Rox, that one isn't gonna fly.

[part-of-another.livejournal.com]

[Roxas opens his mouth and then closes it, exhaling softly.]

I guess it's different where you're from. But in my universe, Sora is my Other ... and I'm his Nobody.
