No Smile Action Figure Man.
The official orders had been for them to go and check into a world that Vexen's machines had said could have another Nobody. Now, the orders that Xemnas had given Xigbar were to test the new guy's abilities, see if he was trustworthy or not.
See if he was usable or not.
Of course, Xemnas did have a point there. So far, the one thing that VIII had done was go around the castle as if he had chosen the time he spent in the World That Never Was as his very own vacations, making Vexen recluse himself in his lab, saying something about neofites, and he almost caused an incident with Xaldin.
Of course; Xigbar is of the general idea that if those two keep the stick so deep their asses one of these days they're going to taste them in their mouths, but fact is, in the end, that they don't need a clown. If Red's only trait is pissing everyone off, then...
“You ready?” he asks before opening the portal. Axel's answer is a grin, stepping in front of him through the darkness, ranks be damned. Xigbar raises an eyebrow but goes after him.
The world they appear is already decaying, a battle of humans against humans against heartless, fire burning the houses that remind him a bit of Radiant Garden, the gargoyles of a huge Cathedral pouring boiling oil and making it something out of a nightmare.
“Yes, thank you,” Axel says with a much wider grin, a wicked glitter over his eyes. “This was exactly what I needed.”
Xigbar doesn't get to tell the kid to stay close, to watch his steps. Axel calls his chakrams and they burn in his hands as he slashes through heartless with the fire that he controls. When Xigbar gets close enough, also shooting at the little buggers and feeling how the excitement he always gets when fighting pools at the pit of his stomach, he also takes notice on the fact that Axel hasn't stopped grinning.
He knows that grin because it's the same he has at the moment and he gives a sharp laugh, moving up and down and behind and above, everywhere and nowhere while Axel almost seems to be dancing as he twirls between fighting rows, flames trailing after him like a comet.
By the time a man - no, no; a Heartless most likely, though he hasn't noticed - stands up over the railing, clutching a sword as a deformed man tries to save his girl, they've stopped fighting and they're just watching how it ends.
“Y'know?” Axel says, leaning back over his hands. The smell of burnt flesh and smoke is heavy in the air and he seems so fucking amused that Xigbar snorts as an answer. “This'd be perfect if we had brought popcorn.”
“Ha!” Xigbar calls up a portal, but he's still grinning, the edge still there. For the way Axel moves, he's also there, and he's looking at him like a cat left in a room full of rocking chairs. Xigbar moves towards the portal before Axel this time. “We'll have to remember that next time, don't we?”
Over the Cathedral, the Hearltess falls to his doom. Axel points with his fingers and makes a 'bang' sound before walking inside the Darkness and closing the portal after him.
Xigbar's not surprised that, once they've arrived to the Castle, Axel turns towards him with the same wicked grin over his face.
“Wanna go for it?”
Xigbar barks a laugh, raising an eyebrow even as he pushes Axel against the wall and Axel hand gets inside his coat and searches for the way to get inside his pants.
“Shit, Red, you're not one for being subtle, are you?” But he's also moving his hands beneath Axel's coat, squeezing his ass, leaning forward to bite his neck. No need to pussify things with this one.
“Pffft, why lose time?” He feels Axel's voice against his lips, and then Axel's skin prevents him from giving a grateful moan once his still gloved fingers curl around his cock, tight and hard. “Unless... Xigbar, don't tell me you'll be brokenhearted if we don't go steady?”
Xigbar laughs again, shaking his head in amusement.
“Fucking brat,” Using then just a bit of his powers, enough to lift Axel and get his legs around his waist, and then get his hands to undo his pants enough to draw out Axel's cock, pushing his against it. “You never shut up?”
Axel moans too, head thrown back for a moment and Xigbar leans in again, bites at his Adam apple hard enough that it'll probably bruise. He still hears his grin.
“Only when my mouth's full, baby.”
Xigbar tells himself to make a note of that, but for now he just moves one of his hands between them and holds their cocks together, because with the way the both of them are moving, the way the battle seems to have strung them tight, it's not going to take much more than this..
“Oh, fuck yeah, baby, just like that, there, fuck,” Axel moans, and he's moving mostly to get himself off, Xigbar notices. No competition, no trying to draw this out just to see who lasts longer, probably just seeking his own release and he probably wouldn't care much if he didn't come at all. When Xigbar comes - a few seconds before Axel - he's half snickering. Axel holds tightly to his shoulders and then comes, back arching against the wall and against his hold.
To his credit, Axel doesn't ask why he was laughing. Instead, he raises both eyebrows at him before moving away. Pants still undone, Axel just wiggles his fingers in mock-candor before opening another portal, probably to go to his quarters rather than report to Xemnas.
After he cleans up, Xigbar goes and informs that VIII is more than useful. Xemnas makes a thoughtful sound but dismisses him, and Xigbar goes out in a much better mood than when he had gone for the mission.
Part of Xigbar kind of hopes that Axel remains as untamed and obnoxious as he is at the moment.
'cause he, at least, does like his brattiness.
