A Little Torture
It was only a little torture. One small torture was all it usually took to send him over the edge, to get him to leave Axel alone. It wasn't working this time though. Something, somewhere inside him had finally discovered that fire – Axel's source of the one small torture – was utterly ineffective. It had taken a great deal of time for it to come about, but there is was.
So what was there to do now? Now that the one little torture didn't keep him away? Did Axel simply give in? Let happen what would happen? It didn't matter; it didn't mean anything, right?
The next time that familiar splatter of water extinguished the small torture, Axel gave in. He was the one on the receiving end of the tortures this time, but he was content. If he couldn't be happy, that feeling of contentment would suffice. It had to.
