Well, think of it this way, self. At least you get to miss the stupid stuff while you're asleep.

Right.

[Axel rubs his neck as he pushes himself off of the wall he's leaning against outside his and Roxas' apartment.]

Anyone up for a spar right about now?

W-well it was just the easiest thing to do back when I arrived...

['Back when you were still suspicious of me' goes unsaid, but it doesn't weigh down the abashed tone of her voice. That wasn't really an excuse now, was it?]

[video] Axel's mommy instincts agree with that statement.

[flared]

[To be honest, he still has his suspicions about you, but... you've probably had many chances to attack and harm Roxas by now, so--

He sighs and then there's a pause before he speaks up one more time.]

Roxas says that you two haven't seen each other much lately. I figure we could fix that if you lived... a little closer, know what I mean?

[imaginarytides]

Right...

[She's back to guilty again. It's hard enough to start over with a friend as it is, and she's not making it any easier keeping herself out of the loop; intentional or not.]

I wouldn't mind. I'm not exactly attached to where I am now.

[video] Axel: /... absently kicks dirt

[flared]

[... This is difficult, but--]

Then what's holding you back?

[video] <3

[imaginarytides]

[There's a too long pause at his question. What good reason, really, did she have for staying stuck where she was now?

She attempts a smile, but it's weak.]

Nothing that should matter.

[Maybe if he knew her better he would argue... but Axel just stays silent for a moment and awkwardly glances at something off camera.]

So, uh. [Pause for his usual awkward neck rub and unnecessary hand gestures] ... Lemme know when you make up your mind about it. I'll mention it to Roxas, too.

[That is a bit more familiar for Xion, and her smile seems to get a bit brighter.]

I'm fine with it. Go ahead and talk to Roxas, though. You'll probably see him sooner than me anyway.

[Not that she doesn't want to talk to him about it herself, but it's more a concern of expediency than anything. Isn't that something they were trying to fix by having her live closer anyway?]

[video]

[flared]

[He nods at that.] He'll probably like the idea. He's been all upset about not seeing you as much as he could lately, y'know?

[You kids are too cute.]

[video]

[imaginarytides]

Really?

[If he didn't know how she felt about neglecting her friends, the wide eyed looks she's got on pretty much broadcasts it.

Roxas' isn't the only opinion she's interested in though.]

What about you?
