[...It's now or never, isn't it.

He'll probably be kicked for this, lectured, punched, whatever, but at least he expects it...so maybe it won't be so bad. Hmph. Or so he says. Axel's been standing out here in the cold, staring at Saix's door for god knows how long, until finally with a sigh of resignation he reaches up to knock with his good hand. The other one...is a little more than busted from a certain fight and beneath his cloak he has obvious bruises, but he'll try to keep the injuries underwraps.

Answer the goddamn door now.]

[His arm jerks up, hand open, desperately wanting some kind of retribution--even if it's nothing more than a harsh slap in the face.
But no. No. Hand balling into a fist, he stiffly lowers his arm back to his side and looks away.]

Sit down. [It's practically a snarl. You are not going to make a liar out of him, not again. Even if you didn't bother to remember that promise.]

	[Scoffs loudly and flops onto the couch, still not looking at Saix And then,] Almost broke it, didn't you. [That promise.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes. [The fact that you remember does not make you any less of a miserable, ungrateful bastard. After tugging the sleeve back down--none too gently--he gets back to his task.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Stifles an "ouch" when he's pulled back down an doesn't say anything more. He'll just let you work on that until he's calmed down enough to say something. At least...say what he meant by that first comment.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Axel's timing--as ever--is terrible, considering the next step. It's not particularly wise to upset the one responsible for putting stitches in your arm, but fortunately Saix is using this as a welcome distraction. It's easier to manage the anger when it's pushed aside in favor of completing the task at hand with mechanical precision. There'll be a scar afterward, no avoiding that....but it isn't his fault.]

	[Thankfully he can't feel that sting too much, what with his numbed arm and everything, but the thought of that needle going through is...kind of a little more than disgusting. Which is why he's looking away, just waiting for you to be done with it already. Hurry. Up.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He's not in a mood to drag it out, but he does take the time to finish the job right. Axel now sports a neat line of stitches running down his upper arm; as soon as the last one is tied off he reaches for the roll of bandages to start wrapping.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Not gonna even bother to ask how you know how to do this. Waiting more. Tapping his foot. Drumming his fingers. B\|] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Reading. And practice: neither he or Fou-Lu like going to the hospital. He finishes securing the bandage and gets up, walking out of the room. It's to retrieve the sling from where it's waiting on the shelf, neatly folded after its last use, but he feels no inclination to enlighten Axel about it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[...And where the hell are you going. Looks up to see him walking off, probably to get something else, and in the meantime Axel will sigh roughly and flop down on his back, taking up the entire couch. No coat on either, because having that thing on with the bandages would be more than uncomfortable. And when you come back, well. He'll kinda be...asleep.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[....what is he going to do with you?]

[He should wake him up. Put the damned sling on his arm and send him on his way, out of his sight like he'd seemed so eager to be. But he doesn't; just sits on the floor by the couch, sling dangling idly from one hand.]

[It's unfair, really. Hard to keep the resentment smoldering when the target for it looks so helpless and unguarded.]

	[Still sleeping, soundlessly for once in his life, probably. What? He hasn't slept in a while, and when he does sleep it's only for a couple of hours. And, you know, when he sleeps...there's really nothing to worry about.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He probably hasn't slept in a while. This is hardly the place to be catching up on that though, so after a little while Saix gets back to his feet and gently shakes Axel's uninjured shoulder.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Finally opens his eyes and looks up over his shoulder...and, well, shit, he's lying down on his injured arm and is probably messing up the couch.] What. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_moonrise_ 2010-12-07 01:51 am UTC (link)
	Sit up. You'll break the stitches. [And ideally, leave him some room on the couch.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Right. Those. Sighs roughly and struggles to get up and sit back on the couch. Stupid eye bags are gonna get worse at this rate. ~~Gotta put concealer on 'em.~~ Anyway. He's sitting up now. So there.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Stares at his busted arm for a bit--great, he's gonna have to explain this to Xion somehow--and then,] The only reason I don't want you to come back is because you shouldn't have to be stuck in a dumb world like this.

	.....you're serious. You were a hairsbreadth away from abandoning me altogether, Roxas was about to be forcefully re-absorbed into Sora, and Xion was dead. Why would I want to return to that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
