[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.]

What? Escaping? [Blinks, suddenly finding his arms pinned down now too.] Hey! That's no fair!

[Starts struggling again, worming madly.]

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

Who said I had to play fair?

[destati-13.livejournal.com]

[pauses movement for a moment] Um... me?

[Starts kicking his feet, but only really tapping Axel's back with his heels.]

Since when do I have to listen to yooou? [runs his hands over Roxas' back, thumbs paying particular attention to his spine]

[destati-13.livejournal.com]

Since I said sooo-aahhh... [shudders and stops kicking, pretty much going limp]

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

[Ah, Axel grins mischeviously, continuing his attention to Roxas' back, dancing his fingers lightly over his spine.]

Mmm, I don't think so~

[destati-13.livejournal.com]

[s-shivers, making a small noise of protest]

Nnn... you should think so.

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

[just rests his hands on the blond's back, now, stilling]

It's not like you mind, though...

[climbs off Roxas, flopping down on the bed next to him, laying on his side with his head propped on his hand, looking at Roxas]

[destati-13.livejournal.com]

[sigh] Mm, you're lucky I don't...

[rolls over to face Axel] What?

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

[half a shrug]

Nothing.

[destati-13.livejournal.com]

Okay...

... Hey, once you're feeling better, we should do something fun for a change...

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. Like check out that game room?

[destati-13.livejournal.com]

Yeah... that would be fun.

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

!!-- Uh... Yeah. [n-nods]

[looks down at the bedcovers]

Um...

[destati-13.livejournal.com]

[blinks] What?

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

[shakes his head] Nothing.

[destati-13.livejournal.com]

... You're weird.

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[destati-13.livejournal.com]

Well... just let me know when you are feeling up to doing something, okay? It'd be nice to do something fun instead of getting attacked by something.

[foralostcause.livejournal.com]

All right. I should be fine now, though, honestly.
