like how the tables have turned.

[there's an eleven-year-old axel standing in front of a couch, seemingly arguing with thin air. a vertical scar adorns each of his cheeks.]

Come on, Rox, mom's gonna kill me if I skip therapy again--

[it's a few moments before he realizes that his twenty-something bff is no longer laying in front of him, and a full minute before he notices that this place =/= his bedroom.]

...shit, Roxas--!

{ooc; post-khii, canon-ish au. roxas escaped from sora's body, leaving him in a coma, and found axel's next-life incarnation, alex. no one but alex (who now insists on being called axel) and his kid!bff devyn (demyx's reincarnation) can see him, so he functions like an imaginary friend. albeit a pyschotic one.}

[blink. oh, this is interesting.]

Hi.

[brazenness.livejournal.com]

[w-w-w-what.]

When'd you get all shrinky-dinked?

[pouty.livejournal.com]

I was always this small.

But not always, I just didn't grow up yet.

[gets closer to look at his cheeks, poking.]

What happened to your face? Did you miss with a fork? Twice?

[so, so, so curious.]

[brazenness.livejournal.com]

[heyheyhey that tickles. he's not going to say it, though, just standing there and letting the kid-roxas do whatever.]

Don't be stupid. A fork would leave a bunch of scars, not just two.

[pouty.livejournal.com]

The side spikes are the biggest.

[demonstrates holding a fork sideways with his hands.] So if you went to eat maybe you held it sideways and got the bottom on your cheek.

I bet ketchup would hurt in a cut.

[brazenness.livejournal.com]

[makes a face at him, angling his middle and index finger so they look like scissors.]

Scissors are better 'cause you can just pull the sharp side down your face.

[pouty.livejournal.com]

Sora almost attacked me with scissors once. Mom smacked 'em on the butt and Riku laughed.

[brazenness.livejournal.com]

She must be a real bitch.

[pouty.livejournal.com]

That's a bad word.

[brazenness.livejournal.com]

I know.

[smiles that big scary smile that roxas always uses.]

[pouty.livejournal.com]

You shouldn't say it or someone will hit you.

[not very affected by the smile, but he never really was one to show emotion well.]

[brazenness.livejournal.com]

I'll dodge 'em. I can dodge real fast.

[sorathepuppy.livejournal.com]

You ok?

[brazenness.livejournal.com]

[instinctively backs away until he's on the other side of the couch, staring over the back.]

Your eyes are kinda pretty.

[privately he thinks that roxas's eyes are an awful lot prettier.]

[sorathepuppy.livejournal.com]

[but his are glowy!]

Uh, thanks.

Are you new here?

[brazenness.livejournal.com]

I dunno. Probably.

[sorathepuppy.livejournal.com]

Ok. Well, uh. Basically? There are at least fifty versions of pretty much everyone in here. And we're all stuck here.

[brazenness.livejournal.com]

[his eyes slooowly light up.]

That's awesome.

[forgetxyouxnot.livejournal.com]

[Observing all this from a few feet away, his head tilting to one side as he quietly chuckles.]


..I didn't know there were little kids here.

[brazenness.livejournal.com]

[dashes over, skidding to halt in front of him. he's grinning like a maniac.]

Found ya!

[forgetxyouxnot.livejournal.com]

Oh, you did...did'ja?


[Cannot resist wearing the same expression, even if something tells him that this little munchkin looks decidedly like the fellow he's supposed to avoid.]

Are we playing hide and go seek?

[brazenness.livejournal.com]

[really really really likes roxas's smiles.]

Nuh-uh, 'cause you won't be able to find me and then I'll be stuck in a tree for an hour and get all hungry and fall out and then my brains will go splat all over the place. Let's just get lunch.

[forgetxyouxnot.livejournal.com]

[This elaborately embellished tale only gives him a reason for succumbing to laughter which was already bubbling forth over the boy's rampant excitement.]

Lunch sounds good.
Very good, in fact.

[He offers his hand, finding no harm in mingling with someone relatively close to his age, if not a bit younger. Better than the adults who seem to wish for his demise.]

[brazenness.livejournal.com]

[takes it, even though it's kind of gay to hold hands with another guy.]

Uh... this way!

[aaaand going off in a random direction now.]

[forgetxyouxnot.livejournal.com]

[Even if he's all smiles, Roxas is a tad dubious as to whether or not the little red-head knows the layout of this place as well as he lets on.]


You seem pretty confident.
Have you been to the kitchen before?

[Senses otherwise, but far be it from him to let the youngster see his doubt as mistake it for distrust.]

[brazenness.livejournal.com]

Of course not, I just got here.

[still dragging him along, totally self-confident.]

[forgetxyouxnot.livejournal.com]

[Grins, swinging their hands a bit out of sheer amusement.]


Oh, I see.
Well of course you know I trust your judgment completely.

[He's got no fear of getting lost, considering that these halls have been passed enough that Roxas has a mental map of where they are. Besides, it's a bit exciting to just run through this place with someone at your side, and not care as to what place your feet took you.

Liberating, to say the least.]

[brazenness.livejournal.com]

I'd be really mad if you didn't.

[it's hard to tell if he's joking or not. regardless, he keeps walking, hoping to stumble on a trail marker or a 'kitchen: 0.3 miles ahead' sign.]

[forgetxyouxnot.livejournal.com]

I see no reason not to.
You're pretty brave and bold for someone so young. It makes a person feel confident in putting their faith in you.


[Chances a ruffling of hair mid-stride.]

So what do you want for lunch~?

[brazenness.livejournal.com]

[grins at the compliment.]

Chicken fingers and ketchup and french fries.

[makes a sharp left at the next corner. going in circles? of course not.]

[imperfectdouble.livejournal.com]

Always knew Axels needed therapy.

[ooc; fffffffff i love that fic. ;~;]

[brazenness.livejournal.com]

[hands on his hips.]

I don't need it, my mom's just being a bitch about it and making me go.

[ooc; g-guh i read it last night and couldn't get it out of my head. ;~; so awesome.]

[imperfectdouble.livejournal.com]

[smiiirk]

Filthy mouth there, dork.

[ooc; i-it's so good, like all her stuff. ;~; shit, now i want to t-take roxas read it again]

[brazenness.livejournal.com]

[matches that smirk.]

You shouldn't teach me bad words if you don't want me to fucking use them.

[ooc; she kills me with her greatness. ;~; do it do it.]

[imperfectdouble.livejournal.com]

[crouches down, lips quirked]

Wasn't me, kiddo.

[ooc; s-same. Have you read the Firefly/KH/23432 other fandoms cross-over? ffffffff so amazing. Re-reading it n-now]

[brazenness.livejournal.com]

I know, but you're still Roxas, even if you're not Roxas-Roxas.

[this logic? it makes total sense to an 11-year-old.]

[ooc; ohgod i love that one so hard. i actually made a DR!roxas from that fic, but he's from the tenth chapter (pre-pornstar tiems).]

[imperfectdouble.livejournal.com]

[nods like it totally does make sense]

Sure, Axel, s'right.

[ooc; ngk;l oh god that fic just...guhhh. Also D8 suck for me missing you making that! D-do I know you?]

[brazenness.livejournal.com]

Duh. I'm always right.

[somehow manages to swagger while standing still.]

[ooc; i know, THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE IT SHDJLD;jskl. yes u know me i live under your bed. 8|]

[imperfectdouble.livejournal.com]

[ooc; lol i love how it's always like, between you and pez. It's just YOU'RE NEVER ONLINE, BAWWWW]

That's a liiiieee~

[brazenness.livejournal.com]

[ooc; i'm usually in lurkermode. rarely do i reveal my true form. :|]

[sticks his tongue out.]

I never lie to you.

[imperfectdouble.livejournal.com]

[ooc; ;_; h-hay, actually, later are you gonna be on? crownedaking is like, woeing over having none of his friends. and some other riku pretended to be his, so. XD]

Liiiiar.

[coos it, not sure why he's half-mocking, and half being playful with this little Axel]

[brazenness.livejournal.com]

[ooc; yep. i have a doctor's appointment in about an hour (gotta get my ONE LESS shot), but after that i should be on for most of the night. c: fffff knightedsilver will not stand for this injustice. |< i'll have him post when i get back?]

[right up in his face now.]

You want me to prove that I'm not?

[imperfectdouble.livejournal.com]

Sure. Whatcha gonna do, kid?

[amused]

[ooc; hooraaaaaaaaaaaaaay!]

[brazenness.livejournal.com]

Uh...

[rocks back on his heels.]

I dunno. I didn't really think that far ahead.

[imperfectdouble.livejournal.com]

That happen a lot..?

[imperfectdouble.livejournal.com]

[:O face]

Really~?

[brazenness.livejournal.com]

Now you're just doing it on purpose.

[imperfectdouble.livejournal.com]

[ruffles his hair]

Yup.

ffffff sorry, lj is being a bitch >|

[brazenness.livejournal.com]

Heeey, you're making it sound like I'm dumb or something.
