carpal tunnel of love
"Axel?" Xion's voice was as light and sweet as always. "Do you need help?"
"Yes." Axel moaned. "This is impossible."
He'd been trying to bandage his own ribs for probably twenty minutes. The three long scratches had bled out all over his jacket and undershirt, and trying to bandage them properly by himself was not turning out well.
"I've got it." Xion laughed. "What would you do without us, Axel?"
"I don't know." He grinned, handing her the roll of gauze. Usually they took potions, but Shadows had some kind of poison in their claws that made any kind of Elixirs useless.
"Ouch." Xion sucked a breath through her teeth as she brushed a bare hand over his chest. "This looks painful. Don't you have potions?"
"Er." Axel did not, as Luxord had all ready learned. "No. Wouldn't heal anyway, just take the pain away."
"Does it hurt badly?" Xion asked and she gently wound the bandages around his chest and back.
"It's okay." Axel shrugged. "Seen Roxas today?"
As if on cue, he burst through Axel's bedroom door. "Axel! Are you okay? I heard you got a bad wound—on the…mission…"
He trailed off as he saw his two friends. Axel realized how this could look a little bad—him, shirtless, with Xion up close with her arms partly around him to wind the gauze.
"Um." Roxas flushed. "I…forgot something. Be right back."
The door slammed behind him.
"What was that all about?" Xion raised her slim black eyebrows. "That's not like him."
"No idea." Axel swallowed, unsure why his own face was flushed and hot.
If he had a heart, something told him it would be pounding right now.
A/N:
That was a continuation from the first chapter, heh.
Roxy and Axel are so cute and clueless :D
At least in this chapter…
(this is where I wiggle my eyebrows like a pervert and imply thingsabout Roxas and Axel in upcoming chapters).
