"How was the hunt?" Saix asked with an evil smirk when Axel lazily stumbled into the kitchen in the late afternoon after sleeping the morning away.
"Hm?" Axel was barely awake, leaving his three companions where they continued to sleep in his bed.
"I asked how your hunt for heartless went last night, since you reported a need to leave the castle for such a task."
"Oh yeah, that." Axel sighed and pulled out a chair for the small table that rested on the far end of the kitchen.
"I'm guessing it was a failure, like most everything you attempt." Saix's grin stayed unchanged.
"What's it to you?" Axel's eye's narrowed in on the twisted gold pair.
"I was just wondering, since it seemed so important to you. Important enough to abandon the castle even when we have a guest present."
"Guest? Oh yeah, Sephiroth." Axel rolled his eyes at the memory of someone he envied as much as he hated.
"Correct. He's staying for a few more days, until we can collect enough heartless for Vexen's experiment."
"How many creatures does one mad scientist need?" Axel asked with attitude when Saix surprised him by sitting as well.
"Enough to make sure we have extra's in case things don't turn out well the first few runs. He refuses to start experimenting on the specimen until he has enough to do so successfully." Saix grabbed Axel's untouched coffee mug and took a sip of it.
Axel eyed him angrily but let it slide to get to the information he wanted. "So, what kind of experiment is he running?"
"That is confidential." Saix uttered quickly and simply.
"You know me Saix, if I want to know as badly as I do, I will find out." Axel smiled teasingly.
"What makes you so confident?" Saix interrogated, seemingly amused with himself.
Axel smiled playfully, "C'mon, it's me! I have my ways." Axel stood up, no longer needing to be in the kitchen since Saix stole his coffee.
"As do I, Axel." Saix warned Axel, turning around in his chair to stare the pyro in the eye. "As do I,"
"Quite being such a creeper," Axel whispered as he shivered and walked down a hall leading toward the library and game room, more formally known as Luxord's room.
"Hey Xiggy, looking good!" Axel flashed Xigbar a thumbs up at the sight of him losing to Luxord in a game of strip poker. Axel, having nothing better to do since his boyfriend and two best friends were still asleep, wandered into the game room to pass some time.
"As if!" Xigbar complained, down to his boxers and socks while Luxord sat fully robed.
"Going against Luxord at strip poker? It's like you're asking to show your ass!" Larxene lowered her Weapons and Torture magazine down to announce her beliefs to the men in the room.
"Don't be jealous because we're all gay and don't want to see your ass Larxene." Luxord chuckled, a fresh cigar in the corner of his mouth.
Larxene humphed and rolled her eyes, lifting her magazine higher and smiling behind it, planning out which item's she'd buy to test on Luxord for his comment.
"Dammit not again!" Xigbar threw his cards on the table and removed one sock.
"It's a good thing Saix isn't here, or his OCD would force you to take the other one off." Axel laughed and the others agreed.
"Who ate all of my beef jerky?" Lexaues stormed into the room with an empty package of said food and chocked it in his thick hand.
"It was Vexen," Axel lied, not knowing who the real culprit was.
"He's a fucking vegetarian!" Lexaues argued.
"It was Xigbar." Axel spouted again.
"As if! I didn't touch any of your shit! I learned that lesson months ago," Xigbar rubbed his arm which still had a bruise from Lexaues' fist from the time he stole his trail mix.
"You know, it could have been Zexion, which means it could have been anybody in his disguise." Axel proposed when Lexaues sat down on the long white couch beside the redhead.
"He's a vegie boy too." Lexaues growled at Axel, who obviously knew that little fact.
"It could have been Marluxia,"
"He's a fucking vegan! Goddamn you!" Lexaues got tired of Axel's blatant lies and stood up to sulk off to find the real perpetrator.
"Why must you torment him so?" Luxord exhaled white smoke that made Xigbar cough.
"It's fun Luxy, you should try it sometime."
"I think I'll leave the pestering to you, since you're so good at it. Besides, when Lexaues is upset, the whole castle is in an uproar."
"Hey Axe, do you know who took his jerky?" Xigbar asked after he removed his other sock, forced by a life of bad luck to lose against Luxord again.
"Not a clue. Which is what makes the blame game so much more enticing." Axel grinned devilishly.
"I know who took it." Larxene hummed, proud in her wisdom.
"Oh yeah? Who?" Axel sat up straight.
"It was me, duh." Larxene smiled.
"Wow, so badass!" Axel waved his arms and rolled his eyes and Larxene threw her magazine at his head.
"Have it your way. More pain for you means more fun for me!" Larxene gave a cocky grin before collecting her magazine off of the ground by Axel's boots.
"Why do you have to be such a bitch all the time?" Axel rubbed his head sorely.
"I should tell you that I'm in an extremely foul mood!" Larxene rolled her magazine up and went back to her chair in the corner.
"Guess it's her, you know, her time!" Xigbar whispered the last part and Larxene raised an eyebrow.
"Naw, she's always a bitch." Axel smiled at Xigbar, who laughed.
"I'd rather be a bitch than a whore." Larxene muttered.
"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" Axel stood up and took a few steps in her direction.
"Oh, does it hurt because it's the truth?" Larxene feigned regret with a sarcastic frown.
"I'm not a whore! And the only reason you aren't is because you're stuck in a castle of only gay men!" Axel put his hands on his hips.
"Puh-lease! You are too a whore! You date Demyx, the two of you break up out of nowhere, now you're with Roxas and you break up with him, but end up back together before the night is even over." Larxene slowly strutted back towards Axel.
"How does everyone know so much?" Axel wondered aloud.
"News travel's fast when your only company is a dozen other immortals. Now, as I was saying, you're a flirty little slut. But, I never said it was a bad thing." Larxene batted her eyelashes.
"Save it for a Nobody who likes pussies." Axel turned around and sat back down on his claimed couch.
"Hey, I have a question."
"Yes Xigbar?" Luxord sighed at the way Xigbar held his hand in the air, waiting to be called on.
"Do you still get your time of the week? Cause, well, we don't have hearts, so can you still have babies?"
Larxene stood wide eyed and sighed in impatience. "Idiot, it's every month not week!"
"Yeah, and she still gets them, or else she wouldn't keep tampons in her room." Axel shared.
"I love how you know that Axe," Luxord sighed.
"Maybe I keep them because I like the feeling of it going in?" Larxene raised an eyebrow.
"Yuck, too much info!" Axel forced puking noises and convulsed his body as if he were regurgitating.
"But can you have babies? I mean, they would be born without hearts." Xigbar asked in an honest curiosity.
"Even if they were born with hearts, they'd lose them with her as a mother." Axel said and Luxord stood up from his victory over Xigbar to high five Axel.
"Don't hate because you know you want me to have your babies Axel. We could make such beautiful love together." She walked up to Axel and cupped his face, his smile almost paralyzing her.
"Go fuck a heartless." He patted her head and walked away, laughing in his mind as he heard Luxord mocking her and Xigbar joining in.
