It didn't take long to get to their destination. During the somewhat short trip through the corridor of darkness, he put his hand back into his pocket (because it hand been jerked out when he was forced into the portal). He couldn't help but feel like a prisoner or something. Even though he was the one leading the way, that's not really how it felt. When the darkness opened up to reveal their destination, a courtyard is what they find. Just outside of the castle, between it and the dense forest of trees. Gargoyles sat around the courtyard and stone steps led up to the castle doors. The castle itself towered over them. It was quite the backdrop to this meeting. The King would be there soon, no doubt, and he wondered what would happen when he did. And then he looked over his shoulder at Axel. "Ya gonna let go now?" His smirk returned and then he turned back to face the castle. "'Course, if you'd rather not, I really don't mind. Your choice. Just to warn you though, squeeze too hard and I just might bit." The thought amused him, though all that showed that was the little grin that spread across his face. "You may be in a hurry to meet the King of Hearts but you'll still have to wait for his arrival." It wouldn't be long though, really. Maybe a few minutes. He doubted it would be much longer than that. And even if it was, they didn't have much of a choice in the matter. Either he'd simply wait until the King's arrival or Axel would leave. And he didn't think the redhead would leave after wanting to meet the king so badly.

[Axel]

They stepped through the portal and out a tall, majestic castle welcomed them. Well... perhaps not a full, open-armed welcome. The doors were still shut and everything about it was foreboding. Why, even the color palette of the scene was rather bleak. A bunch of blues and greys. Not that there was anything bad with greys... the Nobody life was filled with that color. Blues, though. They hit a weird spot in his empty chest. If he could have felt, he knew he wouldn't like it. For one reason or another, anyway.

A playful stare was shot down at the shapeshifter, "Oh, pardon me~" He dropped his arm with a raised, open palm, letting it linger there before moving to rub his own chin in thought. "Wouldn't want to be turned into a dog myself... or are you not that kind of breed? But... now that I think about it... I'm not sure if it'd work on a body like mine... no heart to weaken, you know?" He gave a chuckle, placing his hands on his hips again.

"And no worries... I can wait," he bent from side to side, stretching to amuse himself, giving a slight groan as he did. He peeked open an eye to peer over at Akira, soon looking away as though he could care less. He had an inkling of a feeling that this guy had some sort of attraction toward Axel. Maybe it was the beastly side of him, Axel wasn't sure, but he figured it'd make well for a loyal companion. Although, he wasn't so sure how trusting he could be of this one. His last sidekick and friend did just up and leave him before...

Not that he couldn't be a little bit understanding of the situation. He couldn't blame him for chasing what he wanted, but seriously though, how selfish could someone be? To not even take into consideration how your friends might take a decision you make. The two of them. Those cowards.

Reminded him of why he had a sort of bitterness toward Sora. But holding on to that wouldn't make him very loyal, now would it? Still, though...

But moving back to Akira, Axel decided he should have some fun for once. Play into whatever game he was tugging at. A toothy sideways smile grew on his face as he licked at a canine.

"And careful. I can bite, too."

"No. I don't know." So he wasn't a Heartless after all. Or so he was, but not really. The 'monster' Heartless had hearts, so that meant that the heartless redhead behind him was something else entirely. One of the Nobodies he had heard of perhaps? It was possible, he supposed. He had never met one before (and he honestly didn't know if they actually existed), anyway. He had called himself a werewolf while in Port Royal, so the idea that he could turn someone into one wasn't too far-fetched. At least, not if you believed in that type of werewolf and all. He didn't. And he certainly didn't have the power do do something like that. "I can't turn you into a dog. So no worries there." If werewolves of such a type were real, could their bites really do something like that? It was an interesting thought. It wasn't interesting enough for him to ponder on it for too long though. After all, there wasn't all too much to ponder to begin with. He was a werewolf because he changed forms. At least, that's what some worlds would dub him as. But he wasn't really a werewolf at all. No matter how you really looked at it. He changed whenever he wanted too and he didn't turn others into werewolves. And that's were the thoughts of that would come to an end. "So you can wait here but you couldn't wait there?" He turned towards the redhead fully, "Not that it matters. This place smells a lot better." Like trees, actually. Lots of trees and, therefore, lots of fresh air. Much better than alcohol and sea water. Even the lingering alcoholic odor was being washed away by the small breeze. It wasn't long before he could no longer smell it at all. Turning his head slightly, he studied the forest. It was dense, probably quite dark even when the sun was at it's brightest. It'd be a nice place for a nap. He was still a bit tired, after all, though he knew he'd be awake for a while longer. He was halfway through a yawn when his attention snapped to the redhead, effectively stopping all thoughts of sleep and gaining his undivided attention. "Oh?" He tilted his head and raise a brow, letting a new smirk grace his lips. "Wanna prove that?"

[Axel]

The Nobody gave a suave raise of his brows, and a smooth smirk. Aww, now. Was the poor dog sore that they left the docks earlier than they needed to?

"I just wanted a change of scenery, you know? There wasn't anything too appealing over there -- lot more dull than I was hoping for. Then again, that fight you distracted me from had potential. So maybe I'm just not giving the world a fair chance..." and with an evident wrinkle of his nose, Axel gave a sigh, "And yeah, this place does smell a lot better. Not a fan of the stench from back there. Honestly, that stuff kills, you know?"

He thought back to the remark about not being able to turn him into a dog. He quite liked that idea... yes, quite a bit. A part of him just wouldn't fit the part of a dog. He would never pick up on it, but his feline attributes could never leave him. The way his movements flowed, the way his senses reacted, the way he held himself.

Even the coy smirk that curled on his lips was quite catlike in behavior. Very teasing.

"Prove it?" his eyes narrowed, emeralds gleaming in the moonlight that struck this world as well. He inspected the facial expression on the canine. Curious... "What do you expect me to bite at now? Or are you gonna work to piss me off? Or..." he took a step closer. And then another. His face was once again hovering a few inches from Akira's, a bit menacingly.

As attractive as this Nobody was, he could also be quite frightening in it without him realizing. Yet like a cat, his next words slipped off that velvet tone of his with a purr.

"... you got someone in mind~?"

It had been a long while since he had played with anyone with any sort of sexual tension. Usually, it was women who crooned at his feet. But every once in a while, a male tried to bark up his alley. He was never interested, not particularly swinging that way, but he couldn't help but be curious about this one. You couldn't tell just by looking at someone what their orientation was, or if they even had one. But... he got some vibes from this one. Subtle, but they were there.

"I thought we agreed that you distracted me from that fight. You called me away from it after all." He reached up to scratch at his ear again, this time feeling truly lazy rather then pretending to be so. His ear didn't even itch. It wasn't a habit he had exhibited before, not that he recalled, but there wasn't really another explanation for it. "The alcohol? Pretty sure the people are the one's that kill. Or are dumb enough to get killed. Guess that would be the alcohols fault though." He dropped his hand, propping it upon his hip. What was that saying he had heard? 'Guns don't kill, people do'? It was something like that. It was the logic he was going by though he still figured the gun, or in this case the alcohol, was at fault. Seemed like an okay comeback at least, though he probably could have done better. He just didn't really want to be bothered by that bit of conversation. Because what happened next was oh so much more fun and entertaining. He didn't really know what to expect, having known the man for such a short while. So the somewhat menacing way that Axel looked down on him wasn't surprising, really, it was just... unexpected. And, being the canine that he was, his ears lay back a bit as he looked at the redhead. It was somewhat frightening, or that's what he thought it would be like. He wasn't actually scared, being unable to feel and all, but that was the general vibe he was getting. The teasing smirk sort of threw the 'scariness' off a tad. Probably because it was, well, teasing. And he quite liked that look upon the redheads' lips. "I dunno..." He put on a teasing smirk of his own though, of course, his words wouldn't come out at all like a pur. Him being of the canine sort and all. "But you're free to bite me wherever you please. Just expect to be bitten right back."

[Axel]

Emerald eyes widened a little at the comeback, but only just a bit. Yup. This guy had some interest in the Redhead, whether it be attraction or not. It could just be the dog barking -- they liked to gnaw at things, no? Teething problem and whatnot.

"Oh, I'm sure you would... feisty one, too, I'm sure..." his brows furrowed ever so slightly, his smile still nice and wide. It suited him well, "But I'm not too much in the mood. Gotta be worked up a little, you know? I mean... speaking with your teeth..." he drew out that last word a bit, his jaw dropping slightly to bear his own fangs. They were surprisingly sharp enough for someone who had no affiliation with anything else that was nonhuman. Nobodies weren't characterized by their teeth, anyway.

A tongue first began to rub the face of one canine before it motioned down to grace against the tips of his teeth till he hit the other. His gaze never left Akira's. To him, this was another game. He wanted to see if he could push the teen out of his comfort zone even a little. Although, he had as much fun teasing him like this if he was making the kid a little more comfortable. Axel wasn't one to back away from yanking on someone's heartstrings.

And so, with a slight tilt of his head, he leaned in closer. The hair on the side of his skull lightly tickled Akira's ears as he got close to his ear, pausing for a moment.

Then, with a low, inquiring tone, Axel said, "So... when's Your Majesty going to show? Or am I going to have to punish you for filling me with false hope and expectations? I don't want to have to resort to that... but I'm not opposed."

Part of him was more serious than his words were letting on. He hated wasting time, and if there actually wasn't a King, and a promise for more mischief to be wrought, then he might just blow up.

Literally and figuratively.

[The King of Hearts]

A look of pure disgust was on his face. A little while ago he was entertaining the idea of making the castle his own. Yet it was filled with both dust and grime. On top of that it had living furniture, which was absolutely atrocious. Now he wanted to do nothing more then escape the place, before he ran into the so called 'Master' of the house.     A thin smiled appeared upon the King's face as he saw his faithful servant within the Courtyard. He loved how his Ace of Hearts was always there for him, in both the field and in bed. The King raised an eyebrow at the flame haired man with Akira. He was unsure who he was. Perhaps he is a new recruit, the King mused to him self. His Majesty's smile of amusement turned into a frown upon hearing Axel's comment.     "Please don't bite my servant, that is MY job," the King said as he started to make his way toward the pair. His Majesty laughed to himself, as a glint of mischief entered his eyes. "Unless you wanted to make it a threesome," the King jested, making no effort to hide his relationship with the heartless. It was clear that the King of Hearts was not the king of person to be ashamed of himself.     The King took a few more swift steps, taking him within a few feet of the pair. His steps where elegant, and added to the mans aura of grace. The King once again looked Axel from head to toe. Hmm... I've seen better, but I'd still tap that, the King bluntly thought. "And who are you, peasant?" His Majesty asked. The word peasant was as natural to him as the steps he took. Ruling over an entire planet for a hundred or so years had the tendency to do that. tags, Akira, Axel. words,

The redhead showing his own sharp teeth only made him bare his own in a small grin. At first, he wasn't going to say a word. He was going to let things be as they were. Simply because he rather liked the current state of things. Alas, he just couldn't help himself in the end and he just had to ask the question. "Not bad. But do ya know how to use 'em?" He kept his gaze locked with Axel's, though he was a bit more than just a tad tempted to look somewhere else. His ear twitched when Axel tilted his head, moving a little nearer still. He was quite enjoying this. So much so that, when the doors behind him opened and closed, he ignored it completely. He simply wrote it off as nothing at all. He most definitely would have responded with 'Punish me all you want' but the King's voice cut through the air before he had the chance. And, though only for a brief moment, his face would show annoyance. Maybe a bit of disappointment in there somewhere? That is, before he covered it up with a small smirk and an overall lazy sort of look. He didn't move but, now that he was listening, he could hear the King moving closer. Once the King stopped, only feet away, his eyes traveled in the blonde's direction. That really was the wort timing. In his opinion. He slid his hand from his hip and into his coat pocket. Well, the man would have shown up sooner or later. Might as well be now rather than later. He wasn't really sure where the whole 'teasing' thing would have ended up but the longer it went on the more interested he would have become. Probably best that it be ended there then. It might not have turned out well for the canine if he had glared at the King in his annoyance with the interruption. No, that probably would have been bad. "Wonderful to see you my King." His tone was just as lazy as his expression was. With just a hint of happiness mixed in for measure good, of course.

[Axel]

His smile widened and he let out a hot breath by the furry ear at the challenge of a comment. Did he know how to use his teeth? How hard could it be, honestly? You just eye around until you spot a nice spot to clamp down on -- all done with care, of course... depending on your motive, anyway. He wasn't too keen to actually nip at this guy, it wasn't his style. But man... Akira was really pushing the challenge.

He was a bit relieved, to say the least, when the scene was interrupted.

Unlike Akira, Axel's ears immediately picked up at the light clacking of the elegant doors of the castle closing. The fact of being spied on was pleasing to the man, as he always loved to give a good show. It was better when there was an audience to watch. The more the merrier, yes?

... on second thought, he wasn't so sure about a threesome. He wasn't actually being serious with the mutt to begin with. Only yanking his chain. If he had a heart, he may have felt a bit sorry for the guy and what he may had been expecting out of this.

Axel took no notice of any expression on Akira's face as he promptly leaned away from the wolfish ear and looked over at the poised blonde just a few steps away from them. He let out a short and soft chuckle as his eyes traveled the formally clad male. Interesting wardrobe, all pastel in shades. And something told Axel that he wasn't being very dishonest with the innuendo. Didn't you have to marry to be a King? Weren't there some odd sort of laws for what was acceptable in the Royal Court?

-- and who the hell did he think he was calling a peasant? Wrinkling his nose subtly to hold back an urge to throw a witty retort back, thinking it unwise for his chances to be initiated into this exclusive club, he merely cleared his throat and feigned a smirk. It was so fitting on him, nearly second nature, so he could pull it off anytime to make it look natural.

"Aah, well hello there, Your Majesty..." the Flurry was good at being charismatic, and showed it through his just as graceful gesture of bowing, arm across his chest. He peered up at the King, "I hear you have an army you're building up, and I was wondering if I could join your ranks..."

He straightened up and brandished a flame from his palm for just a second, before flexing his fingers, "I don't mean to be cocky, but I think I'd be an invaluable resource. Oh, and, hah..." he gave a soft laugh. How could he forget the simple introduction?

"The name's Axel. Think you'll find it hard to forget."

[bg=darkred][atrb=style, padding: 0px 25px]     The King chuckled to himself. So this man already knows about my deck, and he is so eager to join too.. I wonder.. The King quietly mused to himself for a few moments. For a while he wondered if Axel was attempting to infiltrate his army and act as some kind of spy or double agent. After all the Army of Suits did pose a major threat to many different major powers in the universe. But that line of thought was quickly wiped from his mind. After all, it was well known the King of Hearts was immortal. As such nothing could stop him as far as the King was concerned. Then the King's thoughts became more vulgar. After all Axel was a rather hansom man, one that deserved a spot in his harem.     "Naughty, naughty Akira, you know this is the Door Mouse's job," His Majesty said. Although the King was elated that Akira managed to find such a fine catch, it was not his place to do so. However the King decided he would forgive the canine after some teasing. The King's crystal blue eyes shifted over to Axel, and a mischievous smile formed on his face. Oh, that's the perfect way to punish my Ace of Hearts.     The King of Hearts took a few graceful steps forward, closing the gap between himself and Axel. Soon the King's face was only a few inches away from Axel's own face. "Oh, I don't think I will forget you," his Majesty said as he chuckled to himself. The superficial man's hand reached up and made a grab for Axel's chin. With a Cheshire grin on his face the King tried to pull Axel into a kiss, even if Axel wasn't very willing.     His Majesty's eyes glanced over at Akira. He wondered how the canine would take this little kiss. He knew the canine took a liking to him, although he wasn't sure how strong his feelings were. But he was about to find out. The King silently prayed to himself that Akira would show no signs of open affection. Although he would never admit it the King was partially terrified of love.

[bg=darkred][atrb=style, padding: 5px 25px] tags :: Akira, Axel words :: 364 occ :: Oh, oh, oh lyrics :: Heads Will Roll -- Yeah Yeah Yeahs

[Axel]

Green orbs narrowed at the King as he sauntered his way ever closer to himself and Akira, taking note of the assertiveness toward his own person. Curious... was he trying to be imposing? Was he trying to be intimidating?

The thought made Axel smirk, and give a soft snark of a laugh. As if this guy could just make himself seem threatening just by his title. Axel wasn't afraid of anybody -- well, except for maybe his Superior a little. That guy was just absolutely frightening if you caught him in a bad mood. The thought caused shivers to run up his spine, rolling his neck and shrugging his shoulders a tad to drive it off. Yeah. Xemnas could be terrifying.

But this guy was nothing compared to him. So Axel stood his ground easily, if anything, his posture got better. He stood taller and unwavering from his position, eyes looking down brightly at the King. His smirk grew only wider as the King neared closer. He could take a face-off no problem.

"Well, good --" an admittedly startled gasp escaped his gritted teeth when the King swiftly grabbed his chin and pulled him in to a kiss.

What the hell?[/color]

Eyes wide, trying to assess the situation, nothing but a blank was smacked in Axel's mind's eye. But soon, and fairly soon, his eyes were wide with anger. His brows furrowed and his fists clenched, pushing at the King's shoulders just enough to tear him away. As much as he would have liked to, he wanted to burn this guy from limb to limb, shred him to pieces with his furious slashing of chakrams.

With a step forward, back closer to the King, he stared down at him with wild eyes. A fire lit in them, and wanted to release through his irritated breath.

But it'd be bad if he hurt him. Damn.

And so instead, he spoke sternly. His voice in a low growl, only obvious of his annoyance. He made moves on people. No one took advantage of him. No one advanced on him like that. This was no way in hell okay.

"... what's... my job?"

What's my goddamn job, you wretched fool?

"Your... Majesty..."[/size]

Akira shrugged his shoulders, deciding not to fret any longer on possibilities and such of that nature. It no longer mattered anyway. Whatever interest he'd had before was wiped from his mind. He didn't need to think about any of that now. It would have been useless. Besides, he didn't think any of it was more than just a little game. That's all it had been. A game. He rolled his eyes, all in good nature of course. It was indeed the Door Mouse's job to hunt down new recruits and assign then a suit. He hadn't really hunted Axel down, he had simply run into him. And as for a suit, well, he hadn't even thought about that. "But aren't we still lacking a Door Mouse M'lord? Or did you acquire one while I was away?" The King of Hearts moved towards himself and Axel just as he finished, stopping a few inches from Axel's face. He had an idea about what was going to happen but that didn't mean he was prepared completely. No, despite figuring this would happen it still took him a tad of guard. Him turning away was the only sign that he noticed the King locking lips with the red head and that didn't say very much. It was as if he was looking away simply to give the two a bit of privacy. How else should he have reacted? It's not like he actually cared about either of them. He may have taken a liking to them but that was nothing to get worked up over. Still, he did feel a little jealous. Not that that was something he'd show. Not now at least. Not when he was keeping his face clean of emotions other than boredom. If boredom could really be called an emotion. He still didn't move from the spot he was standing though, after the kiss was ended by Axel, he turned his head to face the two of them again. He kept his eyes fixed upon the red head, watching for any attempts at actual harm. Not that he really needed to worry about anything, the King being immortal and all, but it was still his job to keep his King safe. So, even as Axel began asking about what job he would hold within the Army of Suits, Akira let a small frown slip onto his face. The bored expression was still there but the frown made it somewhat obvious that he wasn't just a bystander. No, he was definitely not a bystander. He was, and he was going to regret thinking this later, a guard dog. He already regretted it actually.

[bg=darkred][atrb=style, padding: 0px 25px]     A small frown appeared on the King's face when he saw Akira's reaction. Although he would never admit it, he wanted to see jealously on the canine's face. He wanted to see Akira jump across the courtyard and rip out Axel's throat for touching him. Oh how romantic... The King mused to himself as he thought about Akira and Axel fighting over him. The smile returned to his face as he fantasied about Akira fighting for both his honor and love. No, bad King. I can't think of Akira like that again. Ever again. He is a mortal, and mortals die. I can't lose another, so I can't love him. "What's my job? ... Your majesty."     The King's eyes slowly drifted to Axel, as his thoughts returned to the present. He honestly had no idea what to position to give to this fire cracker of a man, aside from a member of his harem. Although it looked like Axel wasn't as pleased with the man-on-man action as the King of Hearts was. The King let out a soft sigh, he really wanted Axel to be part of his harem. But he doubted Axel would even consider the offer.     "What is your job..." The King pondered out loud. He felt asking Axel what his skills are would make him look foolish, so instead he decided it would be a good idea to have Axel show him. "Prove your worth to me Axel," The King paused as his eyes drifted over to Akira, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "As your one and only King I command you two to battle."     The King turned around to find a place to sit. It took him only a few seconds to find a clean bit of stone wall for him to rest. His Majesty sat down and stared at the two. "Well what are you waiting for? Fight. Oh and Axel if you harm my Ace of Hearts or scar his pretty face, I will execute you." The King added in. He bit his lip at the last part. He felt like he gave away too much emotion for the canine. Stop it. It could never happen.

[Axel]

Axel was still rigid from the move the King of Hearts had made on him, eyeing him with narrowed, yet still wild eyes. They bore down into the form of the blond in front of him with the intention of wanting to tear at his every limb, at every stretch of his soul.

As though he wanted to bite his head off. Bet he'd enjoy that...

What?

"You want me to fight him? But you don't want me to hurt him? But I can't get a job unless I win?" Was this guy serious? What sort of sense did that make? Axel worked with quick strikes through the back, reappearing through the gut. Slashes at the neck. Torture wasn't his thing. No, that was more a Larxene thing. He was in things for the quick kill. Assassinations were his thing. And man, did he want to kill someone right now...

A fight could do him well with all this extra frustration being bottled up in him. But it wouldn't do him any good if he couldn't hurt the other guy. Casting a lasting glare on the King, he turned on his heel to send an annoyed look over at Aki. Nothing against him, though, of course.

He was just ticked.

Hope my future tasks aren't as meaningless... seriously, though. What's this King playing at? Want to make me a fool or something? Oh, he chose the wrong person to try and toy with. Guard dog or no, I can have my way with that "King." Someone better save him...

"All right, Chomps. Seeing as how I can't seem to lay a finger on you..." he spread his legs apart, knees bent slightly in an agile anticipation. He could hold off the canine for as long as was necessary, wear him down enough to the point where he couldn't run anymore. That's the only tactic he could use, really...

"...have at me."

The expression on his face didn't change and he continued to watch the red-head. Despite that, his eyes did drift to his King from time to time, noticing the frown that formed on his face in response to his own lack of a response in regards to the little kissing scene moments ago. So he had been expected to act in a way other that indifference? It would seem so. Oh well. Finally, after the King began to ponder what job he should give to Axel, Akira settled on looking around at the trees and such that surrounded the three of them. That is, until he felt the Kings gaze and looked back at the blonde. He didn't like the look in the man's eyes. Not at all. His bored expression fell into a slightly annoyed and somewhat perplexed look as he turned his own gaze from the blond to the red-head and then back. His gaze followed his King until the man had found a place to rest and then announced that no harm was allowed to befall the Ace of Hearts. If not for the earlier comand to fight (or if he had been told to fight someone he wasn't the least bit fond of) he may have snickered at that. As it was, he didn't really find the situation funny. Onyx eyes traveled back towards the man he was to be fightning. Said man's reaction to the terms for the fight were expected. Who wouldn't question such orders if they were in that posistion? It wasn't easy to win a fight if you couldn't do harm to your opponent. You'd have to hope they continue to come at until they're worn out and can't keep at it. And that wasn't what was going to happen here, as Axel would soon find out. The Ace of Hearts rolled his eyes at the annoyed look sent his way, his usual grin coming back to his face. Aformentioned grin only lasted until Axel spoke again, though, morphing right back into a small frown as he raised a brow and tilted his head. "Chomps?" He had to admit, the 'pet name' was a bit funny. Not that he was going to show that. Besides, the next three words that he heard did a very good job of distracting him from whatever he had been thinking. If one were to put it in such a way, it began to sound like quite the complelling thing to do. He scratched the back of his head and grinned once again. "Gee, I'd love to have at ya, really, but I don't think this is a good time." Now, he said it the way he did on purpose. He made sure it could take on two different meaning. One being a flirtatious (and quite naughty) sort of meaning and the other being that he didn't plan to run around and wear himself out. Guard dog or not, he wasn't like those animals that chased after cats and people until they couldn't run anymore or got trapped somehow. Not that he'd necessarily mind being trapped by Axel. You know, if the other mans body was involved. "Feel free to have at me, though.
