i dreamed i was dying as i so often do

[Axel's still in his room, on his bed. His coat and shirt were on the floor, the room was starting to feel stuffy and uncomfortable. He'd been up a few times, obvious enough by the cans of soda on the bedside table next to him that hadn't been there when Roxas had dragged him back here, half-awake and half-alive. The 'power outage' had thrown him a little, he'd felt a little vulnerable, but he knew right away when it was back. That familiar warmth was at his fingertips, he could light a flame in his hand at will again. He had the energy to do it, too, now that he'd gotten some rest.

He was sitting up, the scars on his arms and chest earlier had nearly disappeared now with his second or third X-Potion, but it wasn't really all that easy to tell. His knees were drawn up close to his chest and an arm wrapped around them. The other was resting across his knees, and he was snapping his fingers.

snap. A small flame flickered to life at his fingertips, burned the miniscule amount of energy he was willing to put towards it, and died out within a few seconds. snap. The same thing happened again.

He watched it with grim fascination each time.]

No! No it doesn't! You can't just--... [had stood up, but he pauses and sits back down, shaking his head.]

... You were right. None of my business.

What's this? The valiant hero is defeated? [Tilts his head.]

Your turn to shut up. [The floor, it is his favorite thing to look at in this room, apparently.]

I'm not gonna waste any more of my time on someone with such a defeatist attitude.

[Well, he's going to be distracted because Saïx is stepping over the precious floor to come closer.]

Oh, that's lovely if you think this has been a waste of time. However...

[He leans down, a hand on each shoulder and whispering warmly into Axel's ear.]

...

...

...

[something occurs to him, and he arches a brow.]

Easily? Need I remind you that you tried to kill my best friend and then myself? I doubt it would be taken as a judge of character if I quit on you now.

... Why are you doing this?

[Pulls back slightly so Axel can see his borderline insane smirk. The look is familiar~]

The fun's not over yet, this demon still wants Roxas -- any Roxas -- dead. Probably you too when it's not confused. Shouldn't the hero do something about it since I can't?

You want me to save you from your own personal demons? [Axel just watches Saix quietly for a moment, then shakes his head, pushing a hand from his shoulder with his own uninjured hand.]

... Even if it's for Roxas' good more than either of us, that's... More involved with you than you want me to be getting, trust me.

Not even going to finish the job and kill me?

I don't think I could.

You kind of very effectively kicked my ass last time.

Besides, I promised Roxas I was done picking fights. I'm keeping that one too, for now.

[excuses, excuses, Axel. What's the real reason?]

[Has a feeling Axel is keeping something from him, and since the redhead got touchy with him, it's deemed fine for him to return the kind favor. Erp. That means there's a Saïx who's crawled forward onto your lap and straddled it. Legs had been aching, you see, and this was simply a convenient way to alleviate them. Saïx keeps his hold on Axel in case the other attempts to push him off.]

That all that's holding you back?

[Lazily resting his head on a shoulder; His look has returned to normal.]

[Asdkjfh what? N-no. Nooohoho, no. Axel froze upon realizing what Saix was doing but it was too late to stop him, and the other would not be moved.]

Sa-Saix... [compose yourself, Axel.]

... Well isn't that enough?

A promise can be easily broken and you actually nearly succeeded in killing me too. If you hadn't stopped at the last minute...

[Fiddling boredly with a lock of spiky red hair.]

B-but, you... I would have died, too. That would have sort of defeated the purpose...

Possibly. Possibly not.

[Finding absolutely nothing wrong with having the warm body pressed up against his, nor the fact that his breath is certainly tickling across exposed skin.]

You should have killed me.

No. [shakes his head to hide a slight shiver, goosebumps rising on his bare skin] That fight was senseless. I shouldn't have confronted you when I knew what sort of state you were in.

You knew? You don't know anything.

[There might have been a slight purr within those words; he moves his head so his breath falls upon the side of Axel's neck, inhaling and exhaling softly.]

Why won't you kill me?

I don't want to.

[his good hand is used, now to try and push Saix away.] Saix, you can't... What are you doing?

[Allows himself to be pushed back enough to look at Axel stoically.]

Using you as a substitute like I've done before. Nothing unusual.

B-but... I...

If Roxas sees us...

[avoiding eye contact]

[Can't help the smirk on his face. Can't help it.]

But what are you afraid he'll see~? [Leans in closer.]

This! You know what this would look like if he just walked in...

[Tries to squirm his way out from under Saix]

I'm sure the kid wouldn't be too mentally scarred considering what has already happened--

[--aaand squirming isn't a good idea. That is all.]

I can't betray him like this, Saix, I c--

... [Bad idea, indeed.]

Please, just get off.

[C-Climbing off; cuddling he's OK with. Messing around? Sure. Anything else is usually a no go.]

[Yeah, that's a little better. Axel scoots away from Saix, pulling his knees back up to his chest and hugging them, pointedly looking away from Saix.]

... Sorry.
