ciirceeThis is NOT Meg's nine-months without smoking fic. This is something freaking random I wrote last night while Edward beat Xemnas. And also because he told me he thought Axel and Riku would be friends even though they hated each other.
Riku considered Axel to be a friend because he once kicked the living shit out of him.
It had happened after the first time he'd seen Roxas, wandering around the streets of Hollow Bastion. He'd hated Roxas for being there when he should have been Sora, for being there where Sora should not have been in the first place. Yeah, he'd had his emo on. And then Axel has sauntered up and stuck his hand in the back pocket of Roxas's jeans and Roxas had made a face but hadn't thrown him off.
He'd followed Axel when Axel had left and cornered him in an alley. "His Somebody is out there and coming back," he said, sucker-punching him in the kidneys. "I'm going to make sure he comes back."
Axel had defended but hadn't fought back. Not until Riku had kicked and punched and shouted himself into an exhausted, half-fallen state. Not until Riku had torn his blindfold off in order to see as all those foolish, stupid, Sora-centered emotions had pushed the Darkness too far away to maintain Ansem's form.
"Done, assnugget?" Axel wheezed, pushing himself up from the ground.
Weary in more ways than one, Riku nodded.
"Good," Axel said and then he kicked him in the solar plexus so that he doubled over, dropping to his hands and knees in the filth. "First one's free and only 'cause I get you. Try it again and I'll kick your ass, you weak bastard." Then, as he left, he paused in the mouth of the alley. "You're going to feel like a piece of shit for this, you know," he said, "You don't have a problem with me and you know it."
Riku was still trying to draw breath so he flipped him off instead of shouting 'fuck you' at him. Besides, Axel was sort of right. Except for the feeling like shit about it. Riku figured that Axel was too much like himself to not deserve a beating for something.
It was Axel who told him that Sora had woken.
Actually, it was the sucker-punch to the ribs and the three buildings spontaneously combusting and turning to cinders around him that told him that Roxas had been rejoined. He rolled over, spitting beach sand, and had to remove his blindfold to look up at Axel's coldly furious face.
"Problem, fucktard?" he asked pleasantly.
"Yup," Axel answered.
Riku blocked and defended but otherwise let Axel use him as a punching bag. It wasn't just returning the favor. It was that he completely understood. He'd lost the light once, too.
Related note about Edward beating Xenmas:
Edward: *staring* They beat man-sex by being...really gay.
Me: *nodnod*
Edward: *still staring* Okay, that's even more gay.
Me: *NOD*
Edward: *eyes huge* Kairi is their MOM.
Me: *nodno--* Wait, what?
Edward: Full circle, light and dark, birth and death. They defeat the dark, go to a 'dark' version of home. And Kairi brings them back to the light.
Me: ...
Edward: *grossed out* She opened her door and made a path of light in the dark they came shooting out of the darkness into the light. Into the ocean and Kairi is waiting for them on the shore. Symbolic womb stuff and Kairi is their surrogate mother or something. That secret end better not show them getting together!
Me: ...!
