Impromptu Party: Up In Smoke
Back in the garden, Lux had turned the biosphere's air filters up to max, Xig had been teleporting from one roof window to another in the greenhouse, with some acquiescent female's pashmina wrapped around his mouth and nose. He had nearly blown it when Lux had told him what he thought the problem was when two of his blasters had manifested into his hands and he'd come close to blasting the glass out of the greenhouse instead, but luckily everyone had been too stoned to notice and he'd quickly portalled them back to where they had come from. After that, teleporting around the ceiling in front of a stoned crowd amused him no end, as it could easily be explained away by their inebriated and stoned state, and gave him the perfect excuse to perform his party trick.
As the guests were returning to their normal state, the men went round with trays of the most vibrant cocktails encouraging everyone to down them in one, and making various ridiculous toasts, in the hope that if everyone was pissed enough they wouldn't worry about what had just happened to them.
Lux was just offering up yet another toast for someone's non-existent birthday, and everyone around now seemed to be merely quite inebriated, when Axel reached Demyx who was standing propped up against the exterior of the greenhouse, nursing a green cocktail, complete with umbrella.
"Well, that was an interesting exercise!" confided Dem, as soon as Axel drew level, his face still like thunder, "they were all so stoned, they didn't bat an eyelid at Xig on the ceiling opening the roof windows, and then performing his drinking trick!"
"Dem, I'm pissed at you as well as Rox, you know," fumed Axel, "You should have told me. I thought we agreed – no secrets!"
"I couldn't say anything! It wasn't my secret to tell, and anyway Rox made me promise before I knew how you felt about drugs, and this stuff is kind of different anyway."
"Argue the point all you like, I'm not going to change my position, and I'm still mad!"
"Does that mean our plans for tonight have changed?" asked a worried Demyx.
"Not a chance, funbunny, but I might have to punish you for this little incident," Axel whispered into his ear, cheering Dem up no end since Ax's 'punishments' always just added to the fun, and his face now looked amused instead of annoyed.
"I'm going to finally go and get myself a drink, and then, if you put that smoochy song on that I like, I might just dance with you! On second thoughts," amended Axel, spotting the horny brunette from earlier, still stood at the bar, and not completely convinced that it was just the dope which had set her off, "you go and get me that drink and I'll put the song on! Just watch out for that vulture in the red dress, she's like Larxene on a bad day!"
As he made his way across to the decking, he looked around at how the party was progressing, trying to judge whether it was too early to be putting slow music on. From the looks of things, it was overdue! Luxord had indeed come through with the perfect girl for Xig, but he wasn't sure that Lux had expected her to bring her Harley with her. Right now it was making a very interesting but probably not terribly comfortable surface for their activities, and it certainly gave a whole new meaning to riding a bike!
Xaldin seemed equally happy laid out on the lawn; two very pretty, exotic looking, girls were alternating duties plaiting his hair and consuming the contents of the chocolate fountain, which appeared to be all Xaldin was now wearing.
At first Axel couldn't see Luxord, and then wished he hadn't spotted him! He knew Lux's stunning red-headed current girlfriend owned a brothel, and didn't mind sharing Lux with her girls, he just hadn't realised what kind of a brothel, or how many girls! Axel was no prude, but he felt there was something vaguely obscene with what Luxord was doing.
Roxas was back with the pretty blonde who seemed as unconcerned now about his fumbling around in her blouse as she had before. Axel who had never seen Roxas in action before, at least, not with a girl, stopped for a moment to play voyeur. It occurred to him that the boy could use a few tips from an older friend, but he wasn't about to interrupt at this point!
Their other guests, at least the ones on the lawn and the decking seemed to have pretty much found one or more partners for the evening he noted as he changed the playlist on the computerised sound system, to one of his and Dem's favourites, and was happy to see Dem walking towards him carrying a drink, with no red harpy in sight!
"Did she attack?" asked Ax as Dem handed him his drink.
"No, turns out she's into red-heads and was waiting for one to come back to the bar!"
"Well, she'll be waiting a long time then!" he said and then downed his drink in one, trying to catch up with the rest of the partygoers.
"Dance?" he asked Dem, giving a little formal bow.
"Absolutely. I thought you'd never ask!" laughed a very happy Demyx.
A couple of hours later as once again they smooched round, kissing and nibbling at each other's throats and ears, Demyx whispered, "By the way Ax, when are we chucking these guys out? And how? It's almost 4am now, and I imagine the boss will come back well before breakfast. But we can hardly just pull people off each other and say 'hometime'!"
Axel pulled back a bit from Dem and scanned the area. Most people were engaged in the kind of activity he wanted to engage in with Dem, back in his room and as soon as possible, well except what that donkey Lux was doing; Axel had to admire the guys staying power though, to still be at it after so many hours, at his age! Dem was right though, they really couldn't just barge in and pull people off each other – they could possibly cause actual injury and for some reason these days that thought bothered him.
"OK Dem, I've got a solution but we need Lux first, he's got to ship everyone back and then do that whole 'this never happened' thing of his. Would you mind getting him, I'm not too keen on what he's up to, that kind of bondage never really got me going!"
"Sure. He's with Sylvie, and she is a bit...er...rampant, I guess!" Dem detached himself from Axel, after a brief kiss, and went off in the direction of the trees, yelling Lux's name in the hope that he would have desisted from all action by the time he caught up with him!
A few minutes later Dem returned with Lux in tow.
"You need me for something?" he asked, tucking a pair of handcuffs into his hip pocket.
"We need to bring proceedings to a close, but we can hardly yank them bodily off one another..."
"Why not? Dem just did it to me!" complained Lux, grinning nonetheless.
"...so I've had an idea. Small fire and emergency evac! I'll start it and Dem can put it out once everyone's gone, but you're going to have to man the portal and wipe out time with each group!"
"Pretty good idea for spur of the moment, Ax, but why now?"
"It's already after 4am and the boss is bound to return before breakfast just to catch us out, you know how paranoid he is. We've still got to clear this joint without dusk help, figure out a good reason why we locked them in the basement overnight, and put back at least a few of the bugs to divert suspicion." Axel pointed out.
"Right then, bit of a shame though, I really don't get to see Sylvie enough these days. Still, get your fire started; Dem, you can panic a bit, and I'll go man the portal," he said as he sloped off in the said direction.
Ax looked around for something he wouldn't mind going up in smoke. Usually anything would do, but he liked this garden now that Marluxia was gone, so he decided to kill two birds with one stone and headed in the direction of the greenhouse. The brunette was still there, but now looked slightly comatose on the floor, having apparently imbibed most of the remaining contents of the bar! He threw her over his shoulder and carted her off to Lux at the portal. Then, he went over to what had previously been the hot food table, and just in case anyone was looking in, pretended to be inspecting the gas burners. At the same time he shot a few flames out behind him into the foliage, and then made a quick exit before the fumes could affect him.
Dem was right on cue. As soon as the fire was visible from outside the greenhouse he started running around and screaming, loud enough to wake the dead, let alone a few humans who were otherwise engaged. Axel played marshall, moving people in various states of undress and panic, in a calm manner toward Lux at the portal, and assuring them that the situation was under control but for their own safety they should leave the building for the time being.
Xigbar had also tried to leave, not having been in on the plan, and, in his post-coital doze, believing the fire hazard to be genuine, until Demyx dragged him back and explained. A massive explosion of gas, chocolate, and shattering glass pushed the last stragglers towards the portal before Demyx called on his powers to extinguish the burning rubble.
Roxas was extremely pissed off, for several reasons, and utterly refused to help with the rather large clear up operation. First of all Axel had completely destroyed all his plants, secondly he hadn't got the blonde to agree to exactly what he had wanted, and thirdly Ax had blown up all the remaining pasta with his little party trick!
None of them, since they were all, at least, slightly drunk, was sure how to explain away the lack of greenhouse to Xem, but decided in the end to blame it on the dusks, since they had no come back. It was 5.30 before Ax and Dem finally made it back to Dem's room. Everything had been neatly hidden or stowed in the debugged rooms, and the portaloos had made an ungainly, if much needed, return to Christmas Town.
They portalled directly onto the kingsize bed, and sprawled, their limbs wrapped around each other.
"Well Dem, I think we can honestly say it was a memorable evening! Well, at least, for those of us who will be able to remember it! Lux was sore that he had to wipe Sylvie's memory, but he knew the proviso before, so tough! And a certain someone in this room is in need of a serious punishment, as I remember, for breach of trust!" Axel brought his face close and looked menacing.
"Hey Ax, no hurting, you know the rules," whimpered Demyx, for once, actually afraid that Axel was really angry, and might really punish him.
Axel broke into a broad grin. "I presume my slave knows what's required of him?" he asked, his eyebrow arched.
Dem grinned back and dived onto Axel ripping his shirt open, buttons flying.
"Of course I do, great one," he chuckled, rubbing against the great one ever so slightly, and then silencing him with a deep, searching kiss.
Back in Agrabah, a not too different scene was drawing to a close.
"OK, Saix sweetie, I think it's time we headed back, at intervals, so they don't guess we've been together."
Sometimes, despite his affection for Xemnas, Saix did wonder if the guy honestly believed that no-one had realised they were lovers. He knew Xem had a really good brain, but when it came to relationships he just had no common sense, well, any sense at all, but he definitely agreed that they needed to get back. He didn't trust any of the reprobates they'd left behind as far as he could throw them, not to mention the fact that given Xig and Axel's past history, there was a real chance of another death, notwithstanding the fact that Xig had cured Ax on Xem's orders. What worried him most was the fact that he hadn't been able to detect most of them on the bugs. It was possible they'd all gone out, but unlikely. The worry had even affected his performance, and Xem had not been a totally happy bunny!
Saix finished packing. "OK Xem, you go first, I'll join you in about half an hour. Check the screens, and then we'll go over them together."
Xemnas portalled, and Saix got on the hotel house phone. In moments two real beauties were at his door and he invited them in. What Xem didn't know, wouldn't hurt!
Ax was snuggled up to Demyx, sated and happy, when their phones began to ring and vibrate.
"Shit! The boss must be back! Let's see...Pre-breakfast meeting...Is he kidding?...Major developments?...Crap! He spent the whole night in Agrabah, screwing, or being screwed – who knows which way that one works – with Saix."
"Sod it, Ax, it's really not fair to expect us to start extra early on our first day back. It's 6.30am now; we're going to get absolutely no sleep, I could scream, but I think what I really need to do is take a cold shower to wake me up!"
"Well, let's give us both a better reason for a cold shower," said Ax, grabbing Dem by the arms and pulling him back down close.
That's all folks! Please review if you have a minute I really appreciate it!
