On a "Date-Not-Date" with Roxas ((Locked to auxiliary_key))

[not_ale]

Racing through the front door, Axel makes a strange hop-skip move as he attempts to slow his previous break neck pace down to a walk, the soles of his boots making squeaking noises as he makes his way across the wood floor. He throws the orb he'd just retrieved onto the couch, knowing the crevices of the cushions would halt its decent and keep it

It takes a few moments for the infamous black, shadowy portal to appear in a corner of the room, and a few instants longer before the teenager appears, head first. The quickly disappearing portal barely ejects him, rather forcefully I might add, before dematerializing. Roxas falls flat on his face on Axel's carpet, a limb occasionally twitching.

Axel immediately bursts out in laughter at the sight of twitching Roxas. Obviously, the two hadn't spent enough time explaining portal travel and how to prolong its existence.

Axel also helps with the sweeping of not so imaginary dust, perhaps lingering in certain areas for longer than necessary.

"Desperate," Axel repeats with humor. "It's not my fault if you can't even interpret an emergency call from a 'Hey, let's hang out' call. You know, we've got to work on that."

After a few more brushes for good measure, Axel smiles winningly at Roxas and announces, "Let's paint the town red!"
