For those who don't know, mini me has left the building. Doesn't mean that you can fry up those chicken things of yours, though, so make sure you still play nice with them.

[voice | closed to Roxas]

...You got a minute? [Yeah, we live in the same apartment and all and even if you're just in the other room, yeah, I'm going to do the douchebag thing and call you anyway. So there.]

Nah.

[The host club finished up for the day a while ago... but even if he was busy, he'd make time.]

I'm all ears if you've got anything else you wanna get off your chest.

[About that host club thing, dude, he's going to be keeping his eye on you. We don't need strange people following you home or anything. :|]

Hm. [He thinks, then with a raised finger,] Don't think just 'cause Lea's gone, I'm gonna be a softy and all. Get that memorized, 'kay?

[You mean besides you?]

Talking to me'd make you a softy?

[Not that he'd really expected Axel to take him up on it. It's not his style.]

[...Shhh.]

It might. You do have that baby-ish charm about you that would make it hard not to get mushy. [He shrugs and then reaches over to grab another dart from his table.]

Baby-ish? What's that supposed to mean?

What do you think it means?

I don't really know- [That would be why he's asking.] -but I don't think I like it.

Think of it like this. Babies are kinda cute, right?

That's... [Was that supposed to help your case?]

I'm not cute.

Sure you are; don't be so modest. [Scoff]

Hey. Come on, you wouldn't wanna be called "cute."

For the sake of argument, call me cute. [Yes, he asked you to say that.]

[...okay, he'll humor you. Even if he suspects you're just going to tell him you don't mind it at all.]

You're cute, Axel. Super cute.

See? I don't mind it one bit, even though I know that you're not telling me that sincerely.

[Smirk]

Well, you'd mind if I meant it.

[He's not pouting at all, no.]

Not really.

I'd think it was cute.

[He doesn't. even know what to make of that.]

Am I missing something?

Anyway.

[He throws the other dart he's holding so that it land directly above the other one, missing it by an inch or two.]

The point is, it's not a bad thing, Roxas. Lighten up a little bit, y'know?

I just- don't like being taken for a little kid.

[Maybe he is being silly. Axel's his best friend; he might call him a kid, but he doesn't treat him like one.]

I guess you don't mean it that way.

[As long as you don't give him a reason to treat you like a little one, then he won't. He's a good ~~parent~~ bff... or at least he tries to be one after everything that's gone wrong in the past.]

You're not a little kid. [That kind of response does remind of Lea again though and with a huff he flops back down onto his bed to stare at the ceiling. He hates dwelling on things and it seems that no matter how off track they get with their conversation, it still derails back to what they were originally talking about.]

... Hey, Roxas?

[He blinks at Axel flopping back down again, and looks at him curiously.]

Yeah?

... Thanks. [For what, that's definitely unclear, but he just wants to say it. Doesn't mean that he has to say straight up what he means, right?]

[He blinks again, and then smiles slightly. He's gonna guess this has more to do with why Axel asked him in here in the first place. A thanks for being there, maybe?]

Sure you're not going soft?

[He scoffs.]

In your dreams.

No way. That'd just be weird.
