The problem with staying with his brother, and the both of them living where they did, was that the apartment was... small. And they only had one bathroom, which they normally dealt with fine, except for the odd occasion. The odd occasion like today, which was why Kadaj found himself at a bathhouse.
"Stupid Niisan." He was grumpy. He'd never been to a bathhouse before. And besides, shouldn't his brother have been worried about him being molested or something?! "Tch." An irritated noise as he stepped into the changing room and looked around. "This sucks."
Axel had been sinking into the hot water bliss when he heard a very familiar voice- accompanies by an equally familiar head of silver hair. The redhead blinked and tilted his head. That slender frame was Kadaj's all right. It had to be him. What he was doing this far away from his homi-nii's the man had no idea.
"Sad as it is, not at all," Axel commented , letting his voice carry over across the bath.
Apparently, someone thought he was wrong about the state of things. Kadaj paused, blinking in surprise, and peered into the back of the bath. His eyes lit on a familiar figure-- though the older man definitely looked different with his hair wet. "Axel?" He couldn't keep the shock out of his voice; this was about the last place he'd expected to run into the redhead. And then a rather stupid question, considering where they were; "What are you doing here?"
Another familiar voice, but this one made Kadaj stiffen-- and he turned a bit, hoping he was wrong, to look toward-- shit. Scowling slightly, he looked away again, trying to resist the urge to snatch another towel and wrap himself up in it, and then decided he wouldn't give Kuja the pleasure of seeing him spaz like that.
"Following me around now, Kuja?" He tried to keep his voice flat, but was probably unsuccessful. He also tried to keep his eyes from wandering, curious if the other man's tail was still there. All he needed was for Kuja to think he was eyeing him up.
[ooc: allllrighty, so we dont get messed up, after this post, I'll be combining the log threads and it'll start with kadaj, kuja, then Axel?]
One brow raised, Axel realized another silver-haired old face had popped into existence. Fate always was a laughing bitch. He hadn't seen Kuja since...when was it? After the second foster family. "Jaja- I never took you for a bath house kinda guy." He smirked and let his eyes rest on the towel that was protecting Kuja's modesty. "Don't suppose you've still got your little jewelry box down there?" And something else besides, though there wasn't a hair of fur in sight.
Axel laughed, the sound echoing slightly in the cavernous bath. Kadaj didn't seem to take to surprises too well. He sat up a little, leaning his elbows on the rim of the pool. "None other," he admitted to the first. He ran a hand idly through his hair. Not a lot of people saw it this wet.
"Being naked, of course," Axel drawled. "Get naked, soak in, watch the boys go by- sounds pretty good to me." He tilted his head at the teen. "You, though- your brothers actually let you out into places like these?"
Yeah, that sounded like Axel all right. Kadaj chuckled softly, then heaved a sigh at the mention of his brothers, and moved over to the edge of the bath, dipping his hand in to feel for the temperature.
"Of course they don't." He shrugged, lifting his hand and letting the water run through his fingers before tucking a strand of hair behind his ear. "So I didn't tell them. Besides, Niisan was hogging the bathroom at home." At that, he pulled a face, and shifted around to slide into the bath. "Ah... hot."
[ooc: so, uhm, how do you wanna do this? I proposed, earlier, with Kuja that so we dont get messed up, after this post or so, I'll be combining the log threads and it'll start with kadaj, kuja, then Axel. Since Kuja will be logging on later, I guess we can get any little interactions between Axel and Kadaj out of the way if you want, then its back to that sequence. You and Kuja, of course, can also make an interaction thread that you can tell Axel not to infringe on.♥]
Kuja gave a soft snort as he made his way over to the water to join the two males, catching snippets of what the others said to one another. Typical Axel with his mind hard-wired to sex and perversion hadn't changed one bit, and the tone which Kadaj had used when responding to Kuja himself had been far too determinedly uncaring to be truly natural. What an interesting little situation this was proving to be
( ... )
"As much hair as your brothers have, that'll take a while," Axel quipped with a wry smile. The tall one alone had hair longer than most girls. He probably even used conditioner on it or something. "Hot's the idea, Ka-kun." He winked and stretched lazily, bending first one way than the other. Fuck, that felt good. After everything that had happened, he was almost glad he'd been forced to get a long, hot bath here. The newly-healed muscle and skin just about moaned in ecstasy at being soaked in such wonderfully hot water
( ... )
Well that much was true. For some reason, Sephiroth and Yazoo both had grown their hair out years ago... in fact, Kadaj couldn't remember them not having long hair. And people made fun of his haircut. And speaking of haircuts. Kadaj lifted a hand to tug at a bit of Axel's hair. "You look really different with it down like that."
Then a glare toward Kuja as the other man slid into the water, and Kadaj huffed slightly, looking away. "Jerk." Honestly, who's screwed up idea was it for them both to end up in a bathhouse at the same time. Ugh. Though he had to admit it was kind of interesting. As Axel and Kuja spoke, he tried to listen without looking as if he was actually paying attention. They seemed to know each other quite well. "...I didn't know you guys knew each other."
Kuja couldn't help but give a noticeable roll of his eyes when Axel easily reeled off all of his suggestive comments. Even after so many years, the man hadn't changed one bit. If anything, he had gotten worse. Kuja honestly wondered if he had expected anything different. "The day that you shy away from anything remotely sexual is the day that Kadaj becomes independent, Axel. Also the day that I shrivel in any regards, unless of course, I lay eyes upon you." He couldn't help but want to get a few more bites from Kadaj, whether literal or not. He was going to play with what he had found out previously from the other silver-haired boy, as really, it was too great to let slide.
A small little twitch of the corners of his lips as Kuja tilted his head back against the cool edge of the bath, arching one eyebrow elegantly at Axel at the comment about his tail. The closer they got to his secret, the closer they'd get to Axel's. "Doubly happy, you could say."
Turning to Kadaj, he gave a little smile. "Heh... We've met."
It was true, Axel thought. His blood red hair was now wine dark, straight and long and sticking to his face and molding to his collarbone where it would. If anything, it made his pale skin and bright green eyes stand out more. "Like it~?" he teased. "You're not getting tired of your own look, are you?"
"You say it like it's a bad thing." Axel laughed at the rest. "Didn't think you scared that easy. Intimidated?" Kuja seemed to be watching Kadaj carefully. Strange. And a little interesting all at once.
Axel's blood ran a little cold with surprise. He'd forgotten for a moment, that Kuja knew about his siblings. How, he never did find out. Possibly the man had just eavesdropped on one of the yelling matches at his foster house. "The twins you're packing must be flat as a board, then," Axel retorted, covering up his unease gracefully.
