video; open... ask him literally anything

Whoa, whoa, whoa--!

[Ok, the last time this happened was a very long time ago and omg it's happening again what does he even do with this. Where's Tinkerbell when you need her?

Looks like he'll be flying solo this time. And by flying, we actually do mean flying.

The only reason the communicator is even on right now is because he's dropped it mid flight, but thankfully nothing looks to be damaged. So you should be able to see a blur of black and red fly right past the screen when Axel swoops down to pick the communicator back up and point it towards him. Is that a trail of sparkles following behind him?

... Yeah. But you're probably jealous.]

Well, this isn't all that bad.

[Said as he nearly goes crashing into a tree.]

Crap!

(( ooc: Thanks to Pan's suggestion, Axel can now fly... but he also cannot lie. TAKE GREAT ADVANTAGE OF THIS WHILE YOU CAN. ))

Well... yeah.

[He's just confused as to what the heck he's saying.]

It's like I'm trying to say one thing to you, but I can't do it.

[He's not sure exactly what Axel's getting at here.]

What're you trying to say?

I'm trying to lie to you, but I... can't.

[Oh god]

[THIS FACE, AXEL.]

...

Why're you- trying to lie to me?

[ROXAS.]

I don't want to hurt your feelings.

[Okay, a little more confused than hurt here.]

It doesn't- exactly hurt my feelings to know you like being close to me.

That's why I would lie to you.

... I wouldn't just outright tell you that I'm embarrassed.

...I can kind of tell without you saying.

[He pokes Axel's cheek.]

So what's the big deal?

You can?

[He shakes his head when poked.]

Your face was heating up.

[Even through the blindfold he thought he could almost see it.]

Well--

[Fluster fluster fluster. He wants to say that it wasn't, but:]

Yeah it was.

Usually- you're the one embarrassing me.

[Slowly, he leans down to kiss Axel's cheek.]

Maybe it's just my turn?

I am?

[Ah. Kisses. ... Which is kind of cute. He just sort of stares at Roxas for a little bit.]

... I guess it's not so bad.

...mostly by accident.

[He draws back a little bit and pushes up the blindfold so he can get a look at Axel's face.]

Not so bad, huh?

[When Roxas peeks at him Axel might look a little... redder. GET A LOOK AT DAT CHEST, MAN.]

No. It's not like the end of the world.

[Wow, he's not trying to ogle you ~~this time~~.]

So- what is it like?

[Well gosh. Fine then.]

... It's nice.

[HOW ELSE DOES HE DESCRIBE THIS.]

[He smiles.]

I was worried- you really didn't like it at all.

I like it just fine.

[Hrrrr. He's not used to being so open like this.]

But-- You know. Sometimes it just feels weird. Like we shouldn't be doing this 'cause we're... just best friends.

[Roxas hesitates. He's asked Axel about it before, but he could lie then. Is it something he really wants to know? Is it okay for him to ask when Axel can't lie to him even if he wanted to?

But he has a right to know, when it's about the both of them, doesn't he?]

... Is that- all you wanna be?

[Oh Roxas. Come on, Axel. You can do this. But he hesitates, glances off and struggles to speak. He can't lie to him, so not knowing what to say isn't the issue here. It's just-- He doesn't want to say anything.

But eventually, quietly and slightly strained:]

... Yes.

[Roxas finally climbs off of him, pulling the blindfold back down as he moves, and sits beside him on the bed. He can't think of anything to say at first. He just feels... a little empty, all of a sudden.]

You should've- said something.

[Axel stares up at the ceiling for a beat, but then slowly sits up, one leg pulled towards his chest. ... Well, he-- didn't want that to happen at all. Or at least not like this.]

... I didn't know how to say it.

You figured it out easy enough just now.

Roxas...

[He pauses, then after a sigh,]

I'd still want to try, though. ... 'cause you–

[Axel glances off to the wall again. He doesn't want to hurt Roxas anymore.]

–I do care about you, Roxas.
