kingdomdressing | 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.]

... Really? Wow. What were they thinking, starting that nonsense...

Who knows... [shrug]

... Hey, if you know what is supposed to happens to you in the future... what's supposed to happen to me?

I... I don't really know?

I'd assume you... Find Sora. [frowns]

... I see.

Yeah... You might want to find and ask someone later in our timeline. They'd probably be able to tell you.

[low sigh] Yeah, probably...

... You feeling a bit better now?

I guess, yeah. [just having Roxas there at all had made a significant improvement]

That's good. [runs fingers lightly over Axel's side]

[Sh-sh-shivers! He had not been expecting that.]

Roxas... [bats at his hand]

[Small grin, leaning closer to blow a puff of air into Axel's ear.]

What? [prods Axel in the side]

You are just asking for trouble, kid. [Slides away from the assault.]

Am I? [sticks tongue out] Whatcha going to do about it?

... This! [aaand a lunge. Roxas, you might find yourself on your stomach, pinned to the bed by Axel who is prodding your spine threateningly with his fingertips.]

[Pretty easily knocked flat, squirming at the prodding.]

H-hey! [Wriggles pretty uselessly.]

The more you struggle the worse you're just going to make it for yourself~ [grin and pooooke]

[shudders at the poke, worming more] Agh, you're faaaat, get off!

[pauses to look down at Roxas like he's insane] Fat? You speak nonsense! [trails his fingers allll the way down Roxas' spine, slooowly]

[shivers violently, but stops struggling] Okay okay, you're not fat.

That's better. [lets his hands rest on Roxas' back, but makes no move to unpin him.]

[Huffs, worming around a little, and batting a bit at Axel - where he can reach at least, having to twist his arm around a bit.] Do you really have to sit on me?
