Chapter VII: Of Cookies and Puppies.
Zexion and Demyx just stared at the two boys for a few moments, eyes wide in shock and mouths slightly agape.
"Oopsie, sorry Roxy." Axel mumbled before scrambling onto his feet, sheepish grin on his face while scratching the back of his head as he looked at Zexion and Demyx.
Zexion blinked a few times in disbelief at the scene in front of him. "What the fuck, Axel. Please don't tell me…"
His sentence was cut short by Demyx yelling. "OMG, Zexy. Those are your boxers." Who pointed at Roxas. At this point, Axel did NOT want to know how Demyx knew what Zexion's boxers looked like.
"WHAAAAAAT!" The book nerd screeched, looking at the spot where Roxas lay…only to find it empty. "Where did that little…" Once more his sentence was cut short, but this time not by Demyx, no, this time it was by a cute little boy with lynx features who pulled lightly at the fabric of his pants.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH. Get it off, get it off, get IT off." He yelled in a way that was creepily like Marluxia. "I'm doomed, I'm going to die, we're all going to die, the world is going to eeeeeeeeend." Zexion blubbered while running around like a chicken without a head. Only to run into a wall and fall onto his back on the floor, unconscious.
"Noooo, Zexy Noooooooooo." Demyx gasped before running over to the other and kneeling besides him. "Please don't die." Tears were now streaming down his face while he cradled Zexion's head.
"Riiiiiiiight." Axel said, looking at the scene in front of him with raised eyebrows. A second later his trademark grin was back on his face and he turned to Roxas. "Okay Roxy, let's get you some clothes. I don't think Zex will mind too much at the moment.
With Roxas sitting down on the floor, eyes started shifting between Axel who had reached Zexion's closet and was throwing clothes out of it while saying "No, nah, nu-uh,…" and the pair on the other side of the room. In his life on the streets Roxas had seen a lot but nothing quite like this. To be quite frankly, it scared him a little.
"Ahaaa." Axel exclaimed happily, turning back to Roxas with a pair of white jeans, a bright blue shirt, a red hoodie and a pair of chibi-skull all-stars. "No idea Zexy had clothes like this. Oh well, good for us." The redhead shrugged, throwing the clothes towards Roxas. "You do know how to put on clothes, do you?" Roxas looked from the clothes to Axel "I try."
Sighing Axel watched the blond struggle with the clothes for a few moments before helping him. "There you go, now let's get something to eat."
"Food!" Roxas exclaimed excited, trying to get up on his own but failing miserably. "You're just too cute, you know." Axel chuckled before walking over to the blond and putting his hands under his arms, lifting him up so Roxas was standing. "Now try to move your legs one by one. I'll make sure you won't fall."
Slowly Roxas took a shaky step, and then another one, and another one. Several minutes later they were outside the room and back into the hallway. "You're doing very well." Axel cheered, removing one hand and placing his other between Roxas' shoulder blades. With every wiggly step the blond took he seemed to be able to keep his balance a bit better and by the time they reached the kitchen Roxas was able to walk alone, though still a bit slow and wobbly.
Axel sniffed deeply when they entered the kitchen. It was only now that he realized that he was quite hungry himself as well. "Ah, Axel. Don't you dare destroy my kitchen this time or else I'll make sure you'll never be able to set foot in here again.
"Hello to you too." Axel chuckled, smug cheshire grin on his face. An annoyed "Hmm" was all the response he got before Xaldin turned around wearing an…apron and a…bandana, whilst holding a plate of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. "My, my, and who do we have here? And Axel? Why are you only wearing your boxers?"
"Cookies!" Axel sang, oblivious to the fact that indeed, he was still dressed in nothing but his boxers, launching himself towards the plate. "Dwis isss Woxwas." He managed to get out, mouth already stuffed with cookies. The redhead swallowed before taking another handful of cookies and offering them to Roxas.
Roxas gingerly took one of the cookies, staring at Xaldin before taking small bite. "Is good." The blond said in delight before stuffing the whole cookie into his mouth. Quickly he grabbed the other cookies from Axel's hand, stared at them for a few seconds with big eyes (insert holy music) before eating them.
Axel looked at the boy with an approving expression on his face while Xaldin just shook his head. "Axel, you'd better not influence him too much." "Sure thing, Xally-boy" Axel responded. Xaldin just shook his head again and returned to whatever he had been busy with before he was interrupted.
"Hey, Roxy. Wanna watch a movie or play a game?" The redhead asked, gently pushing the blond between his shoulder blades to usher him towards the living room. "What is movie and game?" The blond asked, head cocked to the side in a most adorable way. "You'll see."
When the pair entered the living room the only two other people that were in there were Xemnas and Saix, talking to each other in a hushed tone. Both of them looked up for a mere second when the pair walked inside. Both of them looked at Axel's almost nakedness. "Axel! Have you still not gotten rid of…" The silveret began but was interrupted by the thundering sound of someone running down the stairs and barging into the living room. An out of breath Demyx stumbled into the living room, happy look on his face. "Wihoo, Zexy's awa… PUPPY!"
The other people didn't even have enough time to blink their eyes or Saix had already jumped down his chair and ran towards Demyx. "That's a good puppy. Good boy." Demyx cooed while petting Saix on his head. Saix, who was now standing on all fours in front of Demyx, tongue hanging out of his mouth, eyes shimmering with innocence while wagging his….hips? Anyway, he was making little barking noises while Demyx petted him. Both of them oblivious to the stares they got from the three other persons in the living room. "Number….VII?" Xemnas mumbled in shock and disbelief.
Roxas hid himself as best as possible behind the lanky redhead, pressing his face into his back while peeking at Saix. After all, he was a cat and Saix was a….puppy.
"Who's a good puppy?" Demyx cooed. Saix barked. "Yes you are, yes you are." Demyx petted Saix' head one more time before straightening himself up again. "I'm sorry puppy but I have go now. Need to take care of Zexy, you see. Why don't you behave like a good boy and go back behind your couch?" Saix whined a little bit, ears drooping and a sad expression came into his eyes as he walked towards the couch and jumped behind it, curling himself up to take nap. "Bye bye puppy." Demyx waved before leaving the room.
"What. In the name of Kingdom Hearts was that?" Xemnas asked himself, staring at the couch with an expression that no one had ever seen before on his face. "Number VII….Saix…"
"Yes Superior. How can I help you this time?" Saix shouted, jumping up and saluting, oblivious to what just happened. "What…?" He asked when he was met with three pairs of stares. "Did I miss something."
Axel couldn't help but chuckle. "C'mon Roxy, let's watch a movie" He said in an amused tone, ushering the blond towards the couch.
"I've got….work to do." Xemnas muttered, standing up from his chair and disappearing towards the door. "Superior? Superior?" Saix asked in an almost desperate tone, hurrying behind the silveret.
When Roxas was sitting on the couch Axel opened a small cabinet and took out several DVD's so Roxas could choose one to watch. "Okay, Roxy. You get to pick a movie. Which one do you want to watch?" The redhead held the DVD'S in front of the blond.
"Euhhh…this one." Roxas decided after staring at the covers for a few moments, pointing at The Lion King.
Axel ruffled Roxas' hair before turning around and popping the DVD in the DVD-player. When the movie started playing he sat himself back on the couch besides Roxas, smiling lovingly when he noticed the blond crawling into his lap. "You're a real kitty, aren't you." Axel asked rhetorically, smiling when Roxas started to purr when he scratched him behind his lynx ears, fluffy tail wagging.
In the meantime Demyx was playing nurse for Zexion (read: all Zexion let him do was bring him stuff and change the wet washcloth on the bump on his forehead. He didn't trust the sitarist with anything else and most definitely not with anything that resembled a needle.)
In the mean-meantime Saix had followed Xemnas up to his room, asking the silveret what was wrong. Xemnas just mumbled something and slammed his door shut in Saix' face. Rubbing his nose Saix let himself slide down the door, making a most miserable and puppy-like whine. "Superiooooooooooor."
AN: To be honest I've got no idea what I was on when I wrote this chap. Probably candy and chocolate again. Yay for another round of hysterical Zexy.
Man, I love Saix puppy. It's soooooo cuuuuuute. Anyhow, please review.
Thank you sooooo much Clockwork-Ceni for your wonderful review. *gives some of Xaldin's cookies.*
