Take that, bottle blond. Nobody was replacing him. Not now, not ever. He wasn’t bitter about having an exact look alike of him running around. No, not at all. "Better not be getting rid of me." Or Ventus might take a trip off the edge of the mysterious tower. "I’m glad to see you haven’t changed one bit though. Same annoying catchphrase, same annoying voice, same attractive face."

[incoendiium]

❝I don't think you'd let me get rid of you even if I wanted to.❞ Another ruffle in an attempt to soothe whatever nerves Roxas still held.  There was no way he'd actually get rid of him, or even try to replace him. He could see where the worry came from, sure, but still. Axel wouldn't do that. Not to Roxas. Not after everything. Leans down again to kiss the smaller's forehead, and his hand falls back to his side. 

❝You haven't changed much either. Seems like you might've gotten a little taller and some decent sleep, though that's about it.❞

[lame-de-cle]

Grin spreads across his face, hardly containing himself from bouncing where he stands. And then hands go behind his back, trying very hard to be casual about his next question.             “So does this mean you aren’t replacing me with the other blond kid?”

[incoendiium]

Roxas' next question earns him a near confused look. It lasts for a brief second before he understands. Right.

❝What, and get rid of my best friend? Nah, don't think so. Doesn't sound appealing at all, y'know?❞ a hand is placed on blond before Axel ruffles the shorter's hair. ❝You're irreplaceable. Got it memorized?❞

[lame-de-cle]

Ignores the question for a moment and simply drags the other down by the collar into a quick kiss. “Just means I can finally do that and get an actual reaction.”

[incoendiium]

He's wide-eyed for a moment while the action sinks in. Then he's slowly grinning, laughing, before the redhead leans down and does the same right back.

                                 ❝Guess I can be a copycat then.❞

[lame-de-cle]

“It’s about damn time!" He’s not gonna cry. Nope, he’s not.

[incoendiium]

❝Hey now, what's with the water works?❞

[lame-de-cle]

Hugs the bae.

[incoendiium]

❝See? I told you I'd be back❞ he wraps one arm around the other, returns the hug.

[lame-de-cle]

Loud Roxas noises because he sees a redhead.

[incoendiium]

Ruffles his hair.

[incoendiium]

❝What's that supposed to mean?❞

[incoendiium]

[keybladeswagga]

"I’m having a really off day…"

[incoendiium]

❝...No worries. It happens to the best of us, right?❞

[claratenbris-deactivated2014121]

"Wait, then why are you complaining about being lost?" Sora asked, now thoroughly confused. "If you don’t mind just finding stuff to do while your lost, when why— why not ask someone where you are?!"

[incoendiium]

❝'Cause this place is different. It's pretty peaceful here, a nice change in pace than what I've had to put up with. But if you're going to point out how I should ask someone, then do you mind sharing that info?❞

[nonexistentwitch-deactivated201]

          ❝ I might need a new one soon, so if you’d like                to come with me to get one— I’d appreciate the                company. ❞

[incoendiium]

He nodded. That was something he could do. ❝Sounds like a plan. I'll just follow your lead then. After all, you probably know the way better than I do.❞

[lame-de-cle]

“Just, never mind." Axel was already doing so much for the both of them. And now the blond wanted him to just pick up and leave. If it didn’t work, if the organization came after them, it could mean death for the three of them. And he couldn’t condemn his best friend to that. Not just for Xion. ”It was a stupid idea." Where would they go? Twilight town and hide in the clock tower at the station? Go to another world like agrabah? Castle oblivion, where the only one of the trio that had been was the redhead? None of these were good ideas. And probably the same ideas the fourteenth and eighth members would come up with. A heavy sigh and and weak smile before he spoke again. “I’m just scared. What happens if Xion can’t ever use the keyblade again? What if she falls asleep like i did? What would Saix do to her?”                                                        ”I can’t bear to lose one of my best friends.”

[incoendiium]

❝This is really eating at you, huh.❞

It was, and it was obvious. If Axel knew anything about Roxas, it was that he thought too much about the littlest things. No doubt that he was already racing to think of an alternative to this. But what was there? If Xion couldn't use the keyblade, Axel was almost certain that it would wrap back around and hit them both as well. Not only with the blame, but with the repercussions dealt to their fourteenth based on the failure.

Failure. The word left a sour taste in his mouth. Failure was a harsh, sharp word, wasn't it.

❝You're not going to lose your best friend. We'll keep her safe, yeah? We'll get out of this.❞ he answered, avoiding the questions posed. It'd be best if they were skipped entirely, for the most part. Only because he didn't have an answer that would sate the worry the blond had.

❝...Running away isn't impossible, I mean, If you wanted to, we could do it. There's one place we could go that they wouldn't find us. Not right away, at least.❞

[shioncrown-a]

"O-of course not!" she replied, embarrassed. "Ghosts can’t be real… can they?" She was actually scared of ghosts. If anything jumped out at her while they were wandering around…

"I think we have to take the train. One of the things we’re looking for is at the other station, anyway."

[incoendiium]

❝Nah, I don't think so. Then again, I think I'd avoid them if I knew that they were. No thank you to the creepy spirits, right?❞

Taking a train would... be a first. He almost asked if they should just use a corridor to get there, but stopped himself. Where would the fun be in that? Instead he nodded, agreed with her.

❝Train isn't a problem then. D'you know when the next is supposed to hit the station?❞

[crestedwaves]

"Come to drag me away again against my will?"

[incoendiium]

❝Haven't decided yet. What I do know is that that's no way to say hello.❞

[incoendiium]

[lame-de-cle]

“You can’t. You’re pulling my leg. You’ve gotta be joking.”

[incoendiium]

❝Nope I'm one-hundred percent serious.❞

[lame-de-cle]

“A heart? What about ‘em? Am I missing something?”

[incoendiium]

❝C'mon, you know exactly what I'm saying.❞
