KH: High Times At Twilight High

"That's why I was looking for him..I want to get this over with..''Cloud mumbled "If you want we can stop and wait at the entrance for him..''

 

OOC: Awww, Rei has to really show herself up for Axel on this one :D

When Axel hesitated before the gym doors, she followed suit, slightly confused. Brushing it off, they began to walk forward. That is, until Rei noticed Axel's true destination. Larxene?! Even while he was with her? This calls for serious measures.
Standing near Axel, crossing her arms, she watched Axel approach Marluxia, instead. He sounded happy, but looked absolutely infuriated. Rei didn't have too high of an opinion of Marluxia anyway, considering the way he acted in the hallway.

 

Hearing Axel's voice, Larxene turned to see him standing there, sarcastically asking Marluxia if he was going to dance anytime soon.
"Something you want, Skater?" she asked, sounding testy, as she crossed her arms, tilting her head up slightly to look at him.
Axel was dressed in a black tuxedo similar to Marluxia's, while his crimson red hair was only slightly unruly.
The way they were speaking, it was as if nothing had happened between the skater and the prep...

 

Marluxia walked away "Have fun, you traitor b****" He thought.

 

OOC: Actually, Axel's not in a tuxedo ("is not the prom"). He's wearing two shirts...and ah. I'll explain later if you want me to xD. I'll just re-quote it...

"Nothing at all, nothing at all, Prep, just simply asking, if Marluxia here, after his little pleasant visit to me, was going to dance, that is all," Axel sultrily replied, making sure his tone was bitter, yet giving Larxene a stare to try and hint something to her from his remark. He was wanting to make her see that Marluxia sought after him before, and all he could do was let her guess about what it was.

Smiling discreetly, his eyes roam a little to check Larxene out, carefully to see how she looked in front of her asymmetrical dress, and tried not to land a smirk on his face after seeing that she in fact, looked...amazing. His eyes lingered more before he set his eyes on her, as if not impressed, mockingly complimenting, "Though Marluxia's date is looking absolutely lovely." He gave a chuckle, as he added confidently, "Fortunately, my date is the better of the two. But that's expected."

Making sure she knew he didn't mean it, though Rei did look gorgeous. He then noticed Marluxia leaving, and alert now, he pointed at him with his eyes for Larxene to know.

Tifa nodded in agreement, stopping her dnacing for the time bing. "Actually, I was thinking of resting, because I'm honestly, thirsty. But yeha, that will be nice." Still close to him, she grabbed his hand tightly in hers, waiting for him to see if he wanted to go or not. "Is your decision though, if you want to keep dancing..."

 

Cloud shook his head"..No...I want to get this over with..''Cloud lead Tifa through the waves of dancing teen's to the main door's of the gym

 

Rei almost confronted Axel upon his staring at Larxene, but she held her tongue. Technically, they were just friends, now. But when he confidently remarked that Rei was the better of the two, she was half pleased and half amused that he thought it could blind her.

 

OOC: lol I had no idea what Axel was wearing so I just chose that randomly. xD And it's a good thing it isn't a prom, cause' the dress I described for Larxene wasn't formal enough then. xDD

As Marluxia began to walk away, Larxene turned, tilting her head to the side slightly. "Marluxia..where are you going?" she asked. Glancing at Axel with a inquisitive look, she turned, follow Marluxia...
He couldn't have known...could he? With the wall of fire in the way and all that...?

 

Marluxia ignored Larxene and continue walking away.

 

Axel frowned visibly at Marluxia's sudden act, and finally knew that what he heard was their kiss on the roof. But now he was confused, utterly. Axel was sure, it was impossible to see through his firewall, nobody could have known, and Marluxia didn't see because he was tied in Xemnas' office, like he mentioned. So, since no one could have spied, and Marluxia himself wasn't there, then obviously some kind of trick was used.

He was starting to slowly figure some things out, but since he didn't want to ruin the moment of the dance, Axel kept it to himself...yet, he wasn't. Shaking his head, and looking intently on Rei for a moment, he suddenly gave her a smile. Axel though the made it kind of obvious that he was staring at Larxene and his comment, but if she wasn't going to mention it, he wouldn't either. "Come on, we should leave the two alone to solve whatever it is they're having."

Tifa walked with Cloud close to the entrance, but almost bumped into a very grumpy Marluxia as she was passing. A moment later, she saw Larxene going after him, and it was then her stomach filled with dread. Eyeing around the opening, she saw both Axel and Rei, yet the redhead looked disgruntled as well. Tifa gulped tightly, knowing what this could mean, but went towards the two anyway, leading Cloud, as she muttered to him. "I think Marluxia did do something..."

 

Rei noted Axel's smile, though not genuine. Smiling back, her neutral face formed again almost instantly just as Tifa came by. "Hey Tifa. Any idea what Marluxia's deal could be?" Rei uncrossed her arms and let them dangle at her sides.

 

Tifa reached them with a grin, looking at Axel to see if he was ruffled or anything up-close. But oh, he wasn't ruffled, he actually looked fine, and she meant that both ways. Giving him a stare that showed she was impressed, she noticed that he and Rei matched, and giddily quirked her eyebrow. Though her excited attitude dwindled when she heard Rei, and explained quickly, knowing it was kind of her fault, "Well, he kind of oveheard us talking about-" It was then she stopped herself, remembering that Axel was there and she couldn't say aloud. Cursing herself, without wanting to show hesitation like she had given something away, she thought of something fast, "About what Axel did to Larxene on her wrists, since Cloud was there and all."

She shifted her eyes, as a message for Rei to know Marluxia found out.

Axel just stayed silent as he watched the exchange, noting at the same time he had placed Rei in a bad mood, her presence was different, more tensed, and now here Tifa was making things even more interesting. He heard her blunder, the act was perfect, he'll give her that, problem was that there was no reason why Marluxia would be upset at Larxene for him hurting her. However, he kept things to himself as he made it so, and placed his attention on Cloud, the smile he had given Rei turning upside down for a second.

 

"Which reminds me...we need to talk....NOW''Cloud told Axel in a very serious tone,not giving him any sort of glare or mean look,just telling him that it was something he had to do

 

Rei noticed Tifa's hesitation at mentioning their conversation, but she quickly fixed it. Rei nodded, looking focused. So Marluxia found out about Axel and Larxene... that was certainly not a very good thing, or really a bad thing. Depends on which way you look at it.

 

Axel just raised a eyebrow at the blond, but thinking that he should at least listen to what he had to say, he nodded. "Lead the way to whatever you want to speak about." Axel didn't need to hear anymore to slowly solve the puzzle, and with a real smile, he gazed at Rei sfotly. "I'll be back, I'll just handle this, I guess."

He then motioned with his hand for Cloud to go wherever he wanted to go, as he unhooked his arm from Rei.

 

Cloud went out into the hallway,passing a few teen's with ance problem's and a few jocks along the way,Cloud walked down the hall and turned a corner,he then turned around and faced Axel


"Hey...I just had to tell you...that you were right all along...*sigh*...and I was wrong about everything...thanks for helping making things right...ok?''he finished

 

As the guys left and were out of earshot, Tifa turned to Rei, looking at her sheepishly, and her eyes apologizing. "Sorry, I didn't know Marluxia would've heard." Looking at her immensely, she eyed Rei, and noticed she was kind of quiet and...stiff. This wasn't what she expected, at least, to see a big confident on her face. A bit worried, and confused, she asked, "Are you okay? I thought you would be happy being with Axel and all..."

Axel had followed Cloud listlessly, passing a few people being that need acne cream really bad, and he found himself in a hall. They walked more, until they were truly out of people's eye range. From there, Cloud exploded on to say what he needed to, and all Axel had was a smile on his face, that was getting bigger with each word. Thinking if he should milk this for what's it's worth, or just try and make peace, since they were going to see each other if he was with Tifa, he became quiet in thought.

Sighing, he narrowed his eyes at Cloud seriously, his tone deep and dangerous. "Thanks. Though I didn't really appreciate the way you hurt her, and if that happens again, I swear I don't care if I go with you..you will DIE. I hope you know what two hours of dealing with your a** is like one day...but I guess we can call it water under a bridge for Tifa..." He blinked at this. "Doesn't mean I like you for now though. What you did was selfish."

 

Cloud rolled his eyes and mocked him in his head"..I know that!....anyway...that's all I had to tell you...you *******..''Cloud mumbled the last part super silently

 

Rei gave Tifa a half smile, nodding. "Yeah, but the first thing he did when we came in was stare down Larxene." Looking away to the left temporarily, she made contact with Tifa once more. "How do you think he found out? He said that he was... locked in pervy Xemnas' office for hours."

 

"I think he heard me and Cloud talking about it, we only mentioned a bit of what happened between Axel and Larxene, I don't think we said it outright. Though I guess we hinted it strongly..." Tifa quietly explained, though Marluxia seemed weird anyway, yet she couldn't help but feel bad for him. If they break up, that makes Larxenre more free for Axel, and that wasn't good. What she hoped was that it didn't spread. Biting her lips, which was glossed, she eyed Rei, "So he was staring at Larxene, huh? Like how? Checking her out? Did he say anything?"

Axel rolled his own eyes to the side when he heard Cloud, especially the last little name calling. It wasn't that he heard, precisely, it was that he got it by reading his lips, and from there he knew what it meant. Well, Cloud, you're a even bigger ******* and a d*ck, but Axel didn't say that in the end, deciding to ignore it. Instead, he just eyed him sharply. "Yeah, you knew that after two hours, numbskull. Do you really love her?"
