video; meow meeeeowwwww HISSSSS

[Ok. So like. Everything's... furry.

There's a loud clatter as his SFC topples to the ground and gets kicked around couple of times until video finally pops up. What you'll see is first a large paw followed shortly by two very vibrant green eyes, under them distinct black markings on a feline face. But this isn't your run of the mill house cat. Oh, dear, no.

This is a cheetah. And it's currently making odd chirping noises at the screen, frantic, then followed by curious purrs and mews as the giant cat steps back to show its complete body.

Why this cat's in Axel's room is any guess... or is it?

There's more chirping and tail flicking, claws digging into the ground and fur bristling in annoyance. Ok. No opposable thumbs and no voice. This could pose a problem.]

[Roxas reaches down to pet Axel's head as he passes by, and then follows him out into the living area. His gait is, well, a little bit awkward. He's not used to the tail.]

You hungry? I'm not sure what we've got besides sandwich meat...

[Which doesn't sound very satisfying right now, but he doesn't think cats eat cereal or toast or anything.]

[There might be a little purr from that pat on the head. And then at the mentioning of sandwich meat... he's oddly all right with it. Axel turns and tilts his head at his best friend and chirps louder, tail flicking and swishing behind him in interest.

And if that doesn't get his message across, then he nods for good measure.]

Okay. Sandwich meat it is.

[Incidentally, he never knew some cats sounded like birds. But he'll keep that to himself for now since Axel seems annoyed enough about being a cat. Being told he doesn't even sound like a proper cat probably won't help.

Roxas goes to the fridge, pulling open the door, his own tail swishing suspiciously beneath the coat as he shifts through some of the food to retrieve the meat.]

[Cheetahs don't meow, Roxas. They chirp! And he's doing a lot of that now, chittering and chattering all the way to the kitchen.

Axel stops by the fridge and waits while Roxas goes through their food but when he spots Roxas' tail swishing he becomes... oddly transfixed and reaches out to bat at it a couple of times.]

[He's just grabbed the meat when he feels that batting and quickly turns around, moving away and letting the fridge door shut.]

H-hey. Cut that out.

[Axel bats at him again before Roxas turns around and makes him stop. He'll just give you an innocent tilt of his head... before he seems to smirk and chitter as if laughing.

And now when he sees that food he'll jump a little bit and paw at Roxas with meows and playful growls. Food food food]

[This is your replacement for messing up his hair right now, isn't it?]

I gotta get it open first, jeez. You must really be hungry.

[He opens the bag and, hm, grabs a plate to dump it on. ...saving a few slices for himself before he sets the plate on the floor.]

[Yes it is.

Axel settles down while Roxas places the meat down on a plate and then sets it on the floor. Well, this is weird. But it's really the only way he can eat anything as a cat so after licking his fangs he noms away. And as he's chomping on down he's making some odd "nomnomnom" noises.

It's true what they say about cats.]

[It feels pretty odd to Roxas, too, but at least Axel isn't hunting rabbits or something.

Roxas leans back against the counter, nomming down his own few slices of meat. He licks his fingers once he's done, which would be normal enough except for how thorough he's being about it, rubbing his hand over his mouth and going back to licking--

...okay, no, stop. The sink is right there. He'll just wash his hands.]

[Axel chomps more of the meat down and once he's done he yawns and pretty much does the same thing Roxas is doing. Paw raised, he sits back and licks his claws before rubbing his face, even parts that didn't even touch the food.

It's a little while later he pauses, realizing what he's doing, and looks up to see Roxas doing the same thing.

... Oh dear. He tilts his head and grins again.]

...I bet that looks weirder when I do it.

[See, Axel, he didn't exactly get off scott-free here.]

[Axel shakes his head and after giving his paw another lick he stands up on all fours to pad over... and push up to try and put a paw on top of your head.

Hair ruffling is harder this way, but he's trying!]

W-woah--

[It's a good thing he was already against the counter or that could have put him off-balance enough to topple them over. Axel, no. He'd rather you stuck with tail-batting for now.]

Hey, watch the ears.

[Axel growls playfully and after swatting at Roxas head one more time he slips down onto the ground to triumphantly walk off, head held high.
Oh, he kind of likes this.]

[Strongly tempted to pounce on his friend while his back's turned. Walking off like that as if he's won...

Screw it, Roxas is pouncing you.]

[Axel senses something approaching... and sure enough WHAM. He's been pounced!

Instinctively he growls and tosses about, tail flicking and paws grabbing at Roxas, but if Roxas pays attention maybe he'll see a sort of grin on his face. Playfully he swats at Roxas and even takes a few nips at his clothes because that just seems fun to do.]

[Roxas doesn't need to see the grin. The fact that Axel's playing along says everything, and he swats back, growling a little himself and almost nipping at Axel except-- well, that would be weird.

As if what they're doing isn't weird enough already.

He tries to wrestle his friend, but sadly Roxas is still the smaller one. At least he's taller than you when you're on all fours I guess.]

[He meows playfully and takes a nip at one of those cat ear atop Roxas' head and even rolls about to try and pin him to the ground. Grr, you won't get away with this, shrimpy!]

[Roxas puts up a fight but inevitably he winds up pinned under his newly cheetah friend. He doesn't seem too put out by it, a grin exposing little fangs of his own, like he's just waiting for a chance to get the upper hand.]

[Axel rolls about until finally he's got Roxas pinned just like he wanted. He sticks his tongue out and lets out a loud mew, satisfied with his victory.]

...yeah, well, you still don't have any thumbs.

[Roxas squirms a little. Are you going to get off him any time soon?]

[He makes a gruff noise at that and bats at Roxas' face. Afterward he backs up and trots away again, flicking his tail to try and smack the kid in the face one more time.

He can get used to this.]

[He at least manages to swat Axel's tail out of the way before it hits him in the face. Then he pushes himself up and gets back on his feet.]

You're having way too much fun with this.

[...okay, maybe it is a little fun.]

[Axel looks over his shoulder and mews at him, probably joking or something in cheetah!speak, before he turns away to head towards the front door. From there he'll just... uselessly paw at it and even try to stand up to turn the knob with his teeth.]

[... Step aside, Axel, and let the professional person with thumbs handle this.

Roxas joins him at the door and just nudges him aside before turning the knob ~~like magic~~ and opening the door.]

There you go.
