Demyx stirred slightly and whimpered. "Axel, help me..."

Axel was prepared to do just that, but in his own way, not necessarily one that Demyx would appreciate. "I tried. I told you not to take that shit. Once you went ahead and took it anyway, there wasn't a hell of a lot I could do for you at that point."

Demyx paused for an instant, then opened his eyes. "Whaa?..."

Axel crossed his arms and glowered at Demyx. "Congratulations. Your foray into mind-altering substances was not an unqualified success. Let's leave the experimenting to Vexen from here on out, okay?" Demyx groaned. "So, was that little green pill worth taking?" Demyx shook his head miserably - he looked like he had a pounding headache. "Got any of them left?"

Demyx nodded wearily. "In my pocket."

Axel held out a hand. "Give." Demyx didn't hesitate, but he took a while to work his hand under the blanket and into his pocket. He handed Axel three and a half little aqua-green pills. "All right, I'm throwing them away for you this time. I'd burn them just to be sure, but they might produce toxic fumes."

"Muh." Demyx rolled over listlessly, facing away from the wall.

"You're not gonna start puking again, are you?" Axel said in a conversational tone. "Because that fluorescent turquoise stuff you kept heaving last night came this close to making me puke. I'd rather not see any more of that than I already have - I'd rather not have seen what I already have, truly."

Demyx's eyes widened. "...The fuck are you talkin' about?" he asked, his face a little green. "I don't remember that..."

"Do you remember anything about last night in great detail?" Demyx shook his head. "Not even the great sex we had?" Axel had to move fast to keep Demyx's hands away from his neck. "I'm kidding! I'm kidding! I'm just messing with you! We did not have sex, and you did not puke turquoise goop! Please don't strangle me!"

Demyx abandoned his efforts to choke Axel to death and flopped back, clutching his head. "What the fuck would you even joke about that for?" he mumbled.

"To make a point. Because we could have had sex, and you could have been puking neon turquoise goop, and you wouldn't know about it. You can do things while you're drunk or otherwise intoxicated that you would never, ever do or allow while you were sober. That sort of shit happens, got it memorized? Trust me. I've been there."

Demyx groaned. "Remind me, I have to kill you for that sometime."

"What if I said I was sorry?"

"Then you can remind me later."

"Later - how does ninety years later sound?"

Demyx buried his face in his pillow and pulled the blankets up. "My head feels like it's gonna implode."

"So whatever you took causes hangovers. Another excellent reason not to take it in the future."

"Ax..."

"In addition to the fact that it causes dementia, psychosis, hallucinations, atypical violent behavior, generalized stupidity, erases your memories -"

"Ax, I think I kind of figured all that out for myself, thank you kindly. And every time you open your mouth, my head hurts more."

"Just making sure you got the message..."

Demyx rolled over to face the wall. "I get. The damn. Message. Got it memorized? Now take those pills and get rid of them. I wanna sleep."

Axel paused, with his mouth hanging open. "You just...used my line...?"

A few seconds later, he was chased out of the room by a water clone.

AN: ...Soo...let's see how much of the usual barrage of "Poor Demy"s is replaced by "Demyx, you idiot!"s. Demyx, you idiot, he told you not to take it!

And Axel: Neon turquoise goop? o.O Where did that come from?
