"I'm gay; I get by," Axel snorted. Turning his head aside, Axel leaned his cheek on a hand. It probably did nothing to hide his tiredness, but hell he didn't care right now. "Dragging me down, eh?" Axel let his voice trail off pensively. "I'm not sure I don't want it to, sometimes."

"Hmm, so he's basically insecure and shit," Axel said blithely. Leave it to Emoboy to get all poetic about it. "That's pretty crappy. Also, not your fault," the redhead pointed out helpfully. He generously refilled Demyx's glass for good measure.

Swallowing his own drink, Axel decided that yes, he actually did feel the buzz, and his body was getting really properly relaxed for the first time in a long while. Since the season started, even. Fuck winter and the cold and the ice on the streets. Fuck the fact that this happened every single year since he was orphaned. He opened his mouth, intending to tell Demyx about some other trivial complaint, and had the strangest feeling of disconnection from it as it said, "days like these I remember too fucking much."

"Insecure" and "Zexion" didn't seem to go together, but he supposed, if that was how it seemed it could be true. Zexion had never been one to really express his feelings much. "Yeah, but if I was around more..." Demyx sighed, shrugging as he found he didn't really feel so badly about the whole thing anymore... at least not right now.

Licking his lips absently, he tipped the bottle of rum to pour them each another shot. He was actually starting to feel pleasantly warm and numb. The drinks were doing what alcohol does, and doing it well.

Pushing one of the glasses toward Axel again, he studied his friend. "You get like this every winter. It's about when you were a kid, right? Hell Axel, we've been friends since grade school, and you still haven't told me shit."
