Chapter 4
Knowledge Uncovered
Sure, she had no idea that he was faking everything. Or any clue that he wanted to get her drunk. She just figured he wanted more achohol. So, without a word of argument, she helped her "drunk" date out of his seat and out the door, careful not to let go of the camcorder still grasped in her hands.
Outside, he pulled away from her and stumbled awkwardly into the middle of the street.
"Get out of the road, jackass!" a man yelled as he swerved his car around the "drunk" Nobody.
Grinning, Axel raised one hand and flicked him off, yelling back "I fucked your wife last night!"
To Larxene's surprise, the man stopped his car and backed up to where he could properly talk with Axel.
"That was you?" the man growled.
Axel, still grinning like a drunken asshole, nodded.
The man glared down at Axel and reached over into the seat beside him, most likely for his gun. Finding nothing, he looked over to see that the pistol he'd thrown in there earlier that day was gone. Startled, he could only blink and turn back to Axel.
"Looking for this?" Larxene asked, suddenly standing by Axel's side, pistol in hand.
The man's glare returned, directed at her this time. "Give that back, you whore."
His pants were instantly lit on fire.
"She's not a whore," Axel slurred, still grinning. "Your wife is a whore."
Without waiting for his answer, she pulled him away and over to the other side of the street, where they, ignoring the shouts of the man in the car, continued on their way to the bar Axel had previously suggested. Halfway there, Axel declared his overwhelming need to piss and slunk off in an alleyway.
Rolling her eyes, Larxene leaned against the side of a building to wait. While she was, a portal opened beside of her and Roxas stepped out. "Yes, Roxas?" Larxene asked, focusing her camcorder on him.
"Where's Axel?" Roxas asked, casting a strange look at the camcorder.
"In that alleyway," Larxene said, gesturing towards it with one hand. "He had to piss. Why?"
Roxas sighed. "Look, Larxene, I don't know what Axel's up too, but I don't trust him at all."
Slightly more curious now, Larxene looked over the top of the camcorder. "Why?"
"I walked in on Luxord talking with Xigbar about some bet he'd made with Axel," Roxas said. "I wanted to ask him about it, but if he's so drunk he has to use the bathroom in an alleyway, nevermind." With that, Roxas retreated back into his portal and disappeared.
Moments later, Axel walked out of the alleyway and slung one arm around Larxene's shoulder. "Shall we go now?" he asked.
Larxene, nodded and turned, allowing him to lead her up the street. Keeping the information Roxas had just told her to herself for now, she openly enchanged in Axel's drunken dialogue, just as he would expect her too.

Twenty minutes later, Axel and Larxene were seated at the bar. Larxene's camcorder propped up in front of them to film everything. Both of them were now downing numerous amounts of achohol.
Axel, of course, forced himself to act drunker and drunker.
Larxene, of course, had no idea he was still faking and found no problem with getting a little drunk herself.
Just as Axel had intended.
Setting her fifth bottle of beer down on the counter, she turned to face him as he chugged down the contents of his sixth. "Axel..." she muttered. "Roxas told me that you placed a bet with Luxord."
Axel gulped down the rest of his drink and turned to look at her. "Larx..." he said, smiling at the look of anger on her face. "Luxord was only helping me."
"Help you what?" Larxene asked. "Get into my pants!?"
Axel cast what would be a nervous drunken glance around the bar, as many of the current resident who were drowing their misery away were now staring at them. "Ah.. Larx..." he said, turning back to her. "It's not like that... You see, I've...wanted to ask you out for quite a while. But I couldn't figure out how. That's were Luxord helped me. He made this "bet" so that I'd have an excuse to ask you without everyone else teasing me."
Larxene paused. Maybe it was the amount of achohol she'd ingested in the last hour or so, or maybe it was something else. Whatever the reason, she felt her anger at him slowly fade. "So, you're saying that you only accepting this bet of Luxord because you wanted to go out with me...?"
Axel nodded, hoping to whatever deity from whatever religion was listening would help him out of this situation.
To his great surprise, Larxene's eyes suddenly filled with tears and, in a flash, she was sobbing on his shoulder, her arms looped loosely around his neck. Blinking, Axel slowly lowered one arm to her back and drank another beer with the other. His eyes found the camcorder, still pointed at him, and he flicked it off, grinning.

One hour later, Larxene and Axel had left the bar and were walking down the street, Larxene much more drunk than Axel. "So, Axel," Larxene said, looking into the camera Axel was now holding. "What do we do now?"
Axel grinned. "I dunno, Larx. Why don't you choose now?"
Larxene paused, and tilted her head. "Why don't we go throw rocks at little kids?" she suggested finally, staring happily into the camcorder.
"Sure," Axel agreed. "By that lake over there?" he asked, pointing the camcorder at a lake where a group of kids - none older than eleven - where playing.
Larxene nodded and started walking towards them. Axel smirked, then followed her, keeping the camcorder trained on her. No better way to have fun than to let her choose the activity, he thought as she turned to talk to him, walking backwards now. And she seems rather drunk... I'm definetly going to win this.
Gaspeth. Larx's drunk...ish... Maybe. She could be faking like Axel was. I don't know yet.
Ahhh... "Why isn't it longer?"
Cause I didn't feel like typing anymore. x)
Ohoh! -point- Is that fluff in there?! I dunno. Interpret that as you wish. Larx was drunk after all. If she wants to cry on Axel's shoulder because he said he only wanted to date her, she can.
Look forward to the next chapter It could be a while.
