o1. hallways

[mayolixir.livejournal.com]

[there is the sound of soggy bare feet running down sleek halls, the boy who owns those feet skidding towards the edge every now and again. he has managed to fall off onto the water pool surrounding the circular walking area inside the garden when the place shook with its landing.]

So co-co-cold. [alma hugged himself as his light sprinting fell back into an easier walking pace.] What just happened- Yuuuuu! [and the calling begins:]

Has anyone seen Yuu?

[pitter patter he goes, down the hall. soaking wet, he will start sneezing in a bit.]

Comments

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

Yuu...? Who- people are already helping him, kid. Get changed so you don't pass a cold onto him.

[Axel will just be using his mama stance towering presence to try to get you to change into something dry, Alma.]

augh sorry so late always;;

[mayolixir.livejournal.com]

[alma starts bouncing up and down instead, going in circles]

But! I have to make sure he's okay!

busy?

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

[That's good, Axel was getting dizzy. Also, he thinks Yuu is an imaginary friend a little kid.]

And you will. After you change.

exams and all. :( but having axel as a roommate...////

[mayolixir.livejournal.com]

[here comes the crybaby]

I can't waste my time!

Ooh, dang. | XD Axel's like "why me?" at all the kids.

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

And you can't run around soaking wet. [Axel will just be pushing him a bit in the general direction of the dorms.]

alma needs someone cool to look after him! /sneaks in :>

[mayolixir.livejournal.com]

But why not!

[these are things alma does not see the need for- being dry, that is. he's being a good kid though and unknowingly allowing axel to lead him back to the dorms.] Uhm.

Who are you?

Ff, dontcha wish your babysitter was hot like him.

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

Because I don't want to get sick and you're my roommate.

[Though he hadn't actually met the kid. Just sort of... brushed against him moving in as he was on his way to check out if classes were worth going to, earlier.]

frick yeah. ): lucky alma.

[mayolixir.livejournal.com]

[and that still made no sense to alma.]

What's a roommate?

let's hope alma shares well! :D

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

[Oi,oi, don't tell him this kid's... simple or something. Axel briefly rubs the back of his head, wondering how he gets into these things. Ah, what the hell. He'll blame Roxas later.]

Means we share a room.

oh, he's good at that! axel you're in for loads of kid ownage

[mayolixir.livejournal.com]

[he is the simplest simpleton ever! brace yourself]

Why? I only want to share my room with Yuu!

joy, axel says.

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

Believe me, kid, I'd put you in with your buddy if I could.

[although he and Riku would prolly kill each other if they switched roomies. Oh look, dorm. Awesome, now Axel can deposit this little bundle of kid off. Or so he thinks.]

That's our room. Go in and change into something dry.

DOUBLE joy, says alma.

[mayolixir.livejournal.com]

[he pouts, like any kid being told what to do would, and runs into their room to get changed. he's not aware if he has spare clothes or anything, but axel said "something dry".

takes it literally.

gets rid of his clothes and grabs a blanket, wrapping it around himself like a cape and with a knot around his waist to give himself some decency (not like he cares though).]

YUUUUUUUUUUUU! [he runs out, shouting]

ajkl; says axel back oAo

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

[how did Axel know this was gonna happen, how? Axel is SO YOINKING that kid right now.]

Hold it! [Axel grabs Alma's shoulders before he can get too far. He has longer legs, kid, deal.]

roommate times will be awesome

[mayolixir.livejournal.com]

[is yoinked. feels like he's done something bad! gets all sorts of teary reaction at this.]

Wha-what!

goodbye sleeping-in for this axel, alas.

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

[shotanudity is bad. :< Meantime, Axel's all oh shit, he's crying!]

Don't you have any dry clothes, kid?

[Axel should've thought of it sooner, but then he almost never changed clothes himself. Damn. He'd have to heat-dry this kid's clothes, then.]

alma can be good though

[mayolixir.livejournal.com]

I don't! I came here with these!

axel is not convinced XD

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

...

[And that's an Axel dragging you back to the room, Alma! Once they're in, he finds the discarded clothes and concentrates a bit. Using just heat is a little harder, but he just has to hold it in the state just before the flames appear. Once they're dry, Axel releases his hold on the blanketbundle!alma and points at the clothes.]

Get dressed.

/CONVINCES

[mayolixir.livejournal.com]

[alma is not very convinced as he goes back towards his clothes, touching the fabric that seems now to be dry.

and it is dry.

he whips around to stare at axel with something like OMG in his eyes]

What did you do!

/STUBBORN. >| (...wait, alma /does/ have pants?)

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

[Crap, he'd thought it'd be ok since the kid probably wouldn't question his magic. Something about Witches around here, right? Fortunately he has loads of practice with inquisitive young minds.]

For me to know and you to find out.

[Axel claps Alma on the shoulder a bit.] Clothes on, now, kid.

(he does! yeah don't fear this shota is well dressed)

[mayolixir.livejournal.com]

[pouuuuuuts but his inquisitive mind is trying to figure things out already. he'll keep asking about it, once his clothes are on.

but then, ohmygod.

cuddles himself on his newly dry shirt. it's so dry and warm! cozy!]

It's so niiiiiiice!

(axel is glad. he doesn't think he could take having to take a kid shopping, too.) keywords relevant

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

[ff, Axel is also used to cute, Alma. though you're pretty convincing. Must resist. But he does smile a bit. Mission accomplished!]

Glad you like it.

(he'll steal axel's hoodie)

[mayolixir.livejournal.com]

My name is Alma!

How did you do that!

What's your name!

Your hair is so red, why!

[bouncing]

(nuuu anything but his hoodie D: then he'd have to go around half-naked. wouldn't want that!)

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

E-easy there. [Axel will try to process all that. Uh, let's see...]

My name's Axel. A-X-E-L. Memorize it.

As for the rest, that's on a need to know basis, ki- Alma.

(or would we.)

[mayolixir.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you, A-X-E-L! [is smart... but not very bright]

Can we be friends??

(certainly not, it'd cause mass stampedes, yupyup. one way or the other.)

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

...'Axel' works better.

[And wait, what? Does he look like friend material, kid? Then again, kid's his roomie...]

Maybe if you're cool enough, yeah? [Grins a bit. A leading question? Maybe.]
