More Axton (And Zer0) Headcanons (More Drabbles At This Point) Because I Fucking Want To
to quote my own father about himself axton is "a masochist at everyones expense" it just doesnt actually benefit anyone like kriegs masochism does
he makes himself a human shield and then gets confused and laughs when his teammates get mad at him for nearly dying and actually dying all the fucking time
he doesnt even NEED to do that his turret has a SHIELD we can just HIDE WITH YOUR TURRET AXTON STOP
he just hates seeing his friends get hurt and doesnt see the problem with dying if hes just going to respawn anyway, even if it costs money
its the closest he can get to actually dying without any of them questioning it but sometimes he wants them to
in their early days together he got into a mild but very frustrating argument with maya that split their team into two sides
no one can remember what it was about except zer0 and they wont tell anyone because it was stupid
but they got really irritated with axton and decided if they were ever going to make it to jack to kill him they would need to rid themself of irritants, including axton
and they sprung up, grabbed him by the front of his uniform, and pressed the sharp edge of the digistruct sword to his throat
he has since jacked off to that particular instance far too many times
he often fantasizes other ways they could kill him or control him and jacks off to those too
he has yet to share this with anyone
he loves zer0 though and loves that they hold his hand now instead of feeling the need to threaten him or straight up kill him
consent and all that, very important
after zer0 gave him the very smooth rock he started giving them all the best guns he could get his hands on
sometimes hell find a shiny piece of shrapnel and give that to them
sometimes hell find something squishy and sneak it into their hand when they go to hold hands with him
its the best way to make them uncomfortable while also showing them he loves them without having to say it
they always give him their heart emoticon after anyway
"hey can you hold this for me"
*stifled laughter* "perfect, ze"
its super cute and super stupid and he likes to make them happy with the way he irritates them
its a love language and i will die on this hill thank you very much
he once managed to catch a glimpse of them drinking a glass of water
it was through some form of straw extended from their mask and he couldnt figure out where it came from
he saw them drinking just long enough to watch them retract the straw into their mask without using their hands
he has not been the same since
everyone has questions about zer0s anatomy, hes no exception, but he honestly just wants to know what the fuck is uo with that straw
is it a part of the suit? is it a part of their face?? what the fuck is it??? why do they have it there?
he always forgets to ask though and its super annoying
hes really really good at poker, but only when hes drunk
he cant play poker for shit when hes sober
he found out the hard way though that he has absolutely no chance ever of beating krieg at any card game
for someone whos literally psychologically scarred and cracked and fucked up pretty much beyond repair hes really good with numbers and reading people
it would be funnier if axton werent terrified of it
its like krieg just knows things
maya doesnt seem put off by it but axton sure is, its spooky
he earned the privilege of high-fiving maya after a good fight, and now he does it after almost every fight
he likes high-fives and she gives the best ones
crisp and tingly but not weak and small-handed or heavy and crushing
he likes watching her move sometimes, he can definitely tell shes not a soldier
her motion is crude but graceful, like a dancer trying to box, but a lot more melt-your-face-off
hes never been to athenas but he wonders if everyone there fights like that, or if she learned to fight like that because no one there knows how to fight at all
he never asks, she doesnt care for talking about where she came from
he doesnt talk about sarah much either, so he understands
he still mentions her in passing from time to time, when shes relevant or hes feeling regretful of what he did to her
he knows he wasnt a good husband or soldier, and somewhere deep down he knows they werent really good for each other, but he still tried to be
and he knows that even as she was breaking it off, even as she was telling him he wasnt a soldier anymore, she still loved him
she gave him the idea to leave, she gave him the chance to, she gave him the dignity of choice
he still loves her, but its different now
its not like the romance he felt when they were dating, or when they were first married, or in the early months of their marriage
he loves her like shes an old friend hed get drinks with and catch up with over lunch, but never intentionally contact, despite being willing to do anything for her if she asked now
he wants to apologize, but he cant contact her anymore, and sometimes that hurts more than the idea that she might have let him be executed had he stayed
It sucks, but life doesnt wait for you to get your shit together, so he accepts it and moves on to the best of his ability
that part of his life is over now, hes got newer, better things to do and be and look forward to
like his new team, his new leaders, his new zer0
he really does love them, he just cant figure out how that works
he married someone else and loved her, they divorced, he doesnt love her the same way he did, now he loves someone else differently, too
its different, but its better, its so much better
their arguments are petty and friendly or about things that dont really matter in the end
and theyre accepting of the lifestyles they have, despite the differences, instead of arguing over never seeing each other or seeing too much of each other
everything about each other is taken as is and its so much better this way
he never had that safety with sarah
