He could hear voices. They were low and fast, always fast and he could never understand what the hell they were saying. By the time he interpreted one sentence they would have said an entire paragraph. He caught his name a lot. The word "miss" (or more, w'msyuh) came up a lot, too. Whose voice was it? It sounded so familiar.
He could never place the voice. Sometimes there were two voices, even three, all taking fast and saying things he felt he should understand. But he didn't, he couldn't, and his heart sank because he knew whoever it was needed him. What did they want from him? "w'ckupassle puzassle" The voice was saying. Wuckup. Whuck. Wuuuuck. Wahke. Wake? Wake. Wake up. Assle. Asssss-el. Acksel? Axel. Wake up Axel. Puz? Palz. Pelz? Plez? Plz? Plz… Pluhz. Pluuuze. Plooze. Pleaeaeaze. Pleaze. Please? Wake up Axel, please Axel.
That's silly. Axel isn't sleeping… Am I? He questioned. Am I asleep or awake? I don't know. Everything is out of focus. The voice was confusing him, talking so fast, his brain was in jumbles. Shut up, shut up, shut up! If it'd stop then he could try and think straight. "Shut up." He heard a new voice say. Wait. His own voice…? Had he said that? The confusing voices stopped immediately. One of them spoke again, the voice getting farther and farther away.
Suddenly he felt lost. The voices were gone. He was alone now. Where did they go? He wanted them back. It was too quiet. The silence hurt his ears now. No, no, no! Come back! "C-come back!" He heard himself yell. A voice yelled something, another answered it. One began to speak again. She was worried. She? Wait. Who? But how did he know? He wasn't sure. It did sound kind of feminine. It was more distinct now, the voices. The names were on the tip of his tounge. One of them started with a G. Maybe? He wasn't sure. Grandma. No, wait, that made no sense.
"Acksel, hai now yow can heermie." The female voice said shakily. "Hai now… thai doktar sed yow can. Heez cow ming, Acksel. Downt worraye."
He could understand her, more or less. Doctor was coming, or something like that. Doctor? Why did they need a doctor? Was he sick? Sleeping. Sick and sleeping, that's probably how it was.
But… how do I wake up?
"See?!" Larxene cried, pointing rather hysterically at Axel's comatose body. "His eyelids are fluttering! He spoke!"
"More than likely he will recover within the next 48 hours." Dr. Saix informed them. "His coma isn't severe, so you wont have to worry. Now… about the bill…"
Larxene twitched. Saix handed her the clipboard. She looked at the clipboard. She dropped the clipboard. She yelled. Very loudly.
"WHAT?!!?" She cried, "That's fucking robbery!"
"That's if he stays for another week. Even if he comes out of his coma, his left leg is fractured. It would make sense to give him a while to recover before moving him."
"How much would it cost if I punched you in the face?" She threatened.
"You would be sued and your friend would be dumped onto the streets. Now who will be paying?"
"I can…" Marluxia said, raising his hand slowly.
"Shut up!" Larxene ordered, "We're not paying this much!"
"Then one of you will have to care for him." Dr. Saix picked the clipboard off the floor and made some notes. "If you take him out today and then it will only be…" He took the clipboard from the ground and scribbled on it, flashing it to Larxene.
"God damn." Larxene grunted. "I shoulda become a doctor, they get paid out da ass!" She looked over to Marluxia. "Kay, I suppose we'll both go in on it…."
"Let me see." He walked to her side. "We'll have to ask for a raise. Raises. Bah."
"Mr. Xemnas is such a hardass." Larxene sighed, "But it's better than keeping him the week… Can't pay all that…"
"Wait." Dr. Saix said, taking a step forward and taking the clipboard from Larxene's hands. "Xemnas… Do you know where he lives…?"
"You know him?" Marluxia blinked. Larxene had made her way back to Axel's bedside, and was brushing his hair back rather affectionately.
"H-he's an… old friend of mine." Dr. Saix stuttered, straightening his tie. "Fr-rom college…"
"Wasn't Xemmy like, a total whore?" Marluxia was the closest thing Xemnas had to a friend. They didn't even fuck. That accounted for a lot from both them. It seemed like everyone in the TJMAXXX crew had, at one time, fucked. "In college I mean. He told me." Except for Larxene and Xemnas and Larxene and Demyx.
"Do you know where he lives. I'm willing to… make it worth your while if you tell me." Larxene laughed rather loudly at Dr. Saix' statement
"Marly knows." She said, "I'm gonna go check on Demyx, kk?"
Marluxia nodded and began to scribble down an address.
"Hiiiiii" Larxene said rather squirrelly, poking her head inside the door. Inside, was of course Demyx, with about 3251093280107648746 balloons and a tiny little albino boy. Demyx' boyfriend was one weirdass kid. He was an author, pretty damn popular, wrote love novels. Larxene tried to read one of his books once. Bloody terrible. Oh well. Hopeless romantics, it spoke their language. She didn't need that. "How is Dem-dem doing?" Larxene asked.
Zexion's head perked up immediately. He smiled a little at her, and she just nodded to him. He wasn't really as shy as he looked. He talked a lot. "He's doing well." Zecksikins nodded. "The doctors said he'll be ready to go back to work in a few days. How's Axel?"
"Ugh," She sighed. "Coma. He spoke." Her head, which had been ducked moments before, shot up. "To me." She flashed him a toothy grin.
"In a coma?"
"Yep!" Feeling awfully proud of herself, she sat down in a chair opposing Zexion by Demyx' bed.
"Tell me."
"Eh?"
"Are you in love with Axel?" Larxene blushed suddenly, looking away.
"Are you in love with Demyx?" She asked him after a moment had passed.
"…heh." He smiled to her and nodded.
Larxene nodded back. "Heh, indeed."
"Larxeeeeeene." Marluxia whined, entering the room. "We're putting Axel into my car, come help."
"What ? No! Axel is coming me with me, fool!" She stood up and glared at him. Marluxia stuck out his tounge... oh my. Larxene was about to dive, and Zexion held her back.
"I think Larxene would be better for Axel." He said rather modestl\y. "Eerr... doctor...?"
"Dr. Saix had some buisness to attend to." A nurse stepped in, clothed in green with... back skin...? Not African American in the slightest, but pure, black skin. This of course received stares from everyone in the room. "...It's a nonfatal skin condition, not infectious in the slightest."
"...kaaay."
"Now, which one of you is... 'Larxene'?"
Six years.
Six years since Saix saw Xemnas last...
He hadn't changed one bit. Still dark skin, white hair, fscking hot. Six years ago Saix would follow Xemnas around like a puppy, getting only light touches, soft kisses. It shivered his very core, the echoes of the "love" they shared coming back to him.
Xemnas opened the door.
It just occurred to Saix how ridiculous this would seem. A man, coming back after six damn years of wishing and hoping and praying and oh, god, what was he wearing? A white bathrobe, nothing else. Whatwasundertherobe—NO! "Xemnas." He said, rather softly. Their eyes met. It wasn't a love story. They were just friends, with benefits, or whatever you wanted to call them.
"Saix…?" Xemnas' smile twisted. "How nice of you to visit. Do come in…"
Axel was on her couch. In a coma. What to do…? Of course, she'd already thought of plenty of things and was currently brushing hair from his face and speaking to him. "Axel…" Larxene whispered softly. "Please, wake up. Soon. Soon. I'm gonna come into that coma and beat you the fuck out of it." She threatened. Her eyes twitched. Running her finger down his cheek, she simply watched him. "If you were awake right now, you'd probably…" Hardly eben thinking, she took his hand and pressed it against her breast. Well, it WAS what he would want…
"Nnn…" He murmered. Larxene twitched. It was working…? Leaning over slightly, she kissed his eyelid. Moments passed, they fluttered open. "L-Lar…lar…?"
"OMIGODYOUROKAYOMIGODAXEL." She nearly screamed, tackling him. "erk!" Quickly, she pulled away and blushed. He smiled and leaned up, kissing her cheek.
"I heard voices." He whispered into her head. "It was you, wasn't it…?"
"M-me, and Marluxia… BUTMOSTLYME." She almost blushed.
"You stuck with me…"
"Hey hey hey." Larxene looked at him funny. "I'm no good little girl, you're just my friend is all." At which point she stood up, away from Axel and walked to the counter where she pulled some fudge out of a small container. Breaking it in half, she threw half at Axel and popped the other half into her mouth. Axel blinked. That could have gone better. Shrugging, he picked out the almonds and sucked on the chocolate.
"So… what happened?"
"You were in a coma. For like, a day. We got off free cuz Xemnas and the doctor were fuckbuddies." She let out a hearty laugh. "My god, that was some crazy shit…." She picked the almonds off the table that Axel had set them and plopped them in her mouth. "Anyways, we're both off for another two days. What do you want to do?"
Axel tried to stand. He was still somewhat woozy, and tumbled over, right into Larxene sending them both crashing to the ground. "Ah, err…" Axel inhaled sharply, gripping the back of his neck. Glancing at her, he saw she was smiling. "Oh, this will do…"
Elsewheres, Saix and Xemnas were having hot graphic sex.
A/N: D: Somewhere in between chapter 1 and 2 I was converted to Lar/Dem-ism. ARGH, SHUT UP, IT'S CUTE. Gah. Even if I do switch gears like that, it'll be a few chapters before it really goes through. And I'll need something to do with Zexion and Axel… Marly/Axel is NOT YOUR FRIEND. NO. Though they do fuck.
Shorter, sorry. I'll try harder next time. -resolve- More Roxascentric next chapter.
