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.
"Obviously, I'm merely permitting you the privilege of leading me on, Kadaj." Mocking. His tail was sealed away, rather irritably so, he noted, as it wiggled, frustrated, against Kuja's will, finding itself too wound up to go anywhere in the confines of his thong. With a little smile to himself, Kuja neatly folded the towel over upon itself as he let it fall away from his waist, placing the soft material by the bath before pulling a hair tie from about his wrist, bunching up long silvery strands and securing them out of the waters way at the back of his head. That taken care of, Kuja lowered himself into the bath, giving a tiny little hum at the temperature.
He sincerely hoped that Axel was sensible enough not to mention his tail in front of anyone else-or at least, not the fact that it was real. He figured by the glance that the redhead hadn't forgotten about his ‘decoration’, and it had felt like a performance, taking off his covering just now. Once in the water, Kuja turned to examine Axel haughtily, noting the changes since he had last seen him. The eyes were just as catlike and the figure just as lean, at least. "I assure you, Axel, I wouldn't be in a place such as this if I could help it... I am hardly surprised to find you here, though." Still just as sexually driven too, apparently. At the mention of his 'jewellery box', Kuja adjusted his position in the bath, crossing one leg over the other, curtains of the main event. "Little is far from the word. But knowing you, you're likely to check or find out for yourself."
Not that Kuja would let him, of course~
((ooc: soooo much to reply to in one post there ;P sorry for taking so long to respond! buuut the order seems fine, and little offthreads could work, too. let ze nudiefest begin! ♥))
"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.
As for Kuja... He tilted his head towards the other man and smirked. "Guess I'm just not afraid of rubbing against people, thongboy," he replied lightly. "Speaking of which- shrivel up yet?" Axel grinned and glanced meaningfully at the thong as it was revealed. Sometimes he thought Kuja was more exhibitionist than he was. Or maybe he just hadn't learned to read things that weren't odes to his beauty. Axel wondered briefly what unlucky staff personnel would have to deal with him, once they found him towel-less in the bath. Axel had no protests on whether or not he or anyone else around him was clothed, really.
"You could say I've got great intuition." He noted the lack of tail and the unusual bulge, putting two and two together. Heh. Clever. But so very open to attack. "Really, sweet, is that from last night or are you just really happy to see me?"
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.
"Haha, it's interesting. Makes your eyes stand out." But all in all, Kadaj thought he probably just liked Axel any way, so it didn't matter. Sighing, he rolled his eyes absently at the mention of his own look, and shoved at the redhead's shoulder lightly. "I like my look fine, thank you, and you know that."
It was weird being there with both Axel and Kuja. Mostly because he couldn't decide how he wanted to act. Normally with Axel he would have been relaxed and in a good mood, but with Kuja around-- and there he went again, making comments about his so-called dependency! Kadaj frowned, shooting a glare past Axel at the other silver-haired man. "Oh fuck you."
Then Axel seemed to stiffen. Kadaj blinked slightly, going back over what had previously been said, looking for something that would have upset him. Aside from some barely-covered insults (which he was sure the redhead wouldn't have taken offense at) there didn't seem to be anything really... a sigh, and he shrugged to himself, still absently playing with Axel's hair, and continued listening as he tried to figure out what the problem was.
"And I didn't think that you were quite so deluded, Axel. Desperate?" Kuja responded to the redhead with a sly little look, almost a challenge. Their interactions had barely changed either, with the constant idle banter and the flirty notions which Kuja would always determinedly deny.
And still, he knew how to get to the other. He picked up the pause that his subtle mention of Axel's siblings caused, and admirably noted how Axel still had the ability to cover up things he didn't want others to realize. It was an interesting skill. "Almost as flat as your humour, or indeed, your hair. Tell me, is this a new look you're opting for?" He mirrored Kadaj's motions, yet he let long fingernails dig into the redhead's scalp as he raked his fingertips through crimson tresses. Control was the key.
He figured that Kadaj had picked up on something off in their little conversation, but his perceptions of the boy proved correct when he seemed to disregard it. Simple, of course, with simple comebacks. "Ahaha... Is that really any way to speak to somebody you enjoy spending time with, now?" Kuja shot at Kadaj, smiling benignly as he reached over and retrieved a bar of purple soap from his pile of belongings, dipping it into the water before running it up and down hairless legs lightly. He supposed he should get to the point of why he was here, after all.
"Hmm, so you never did go for the piercings~?" Axel teased, tugging one of Kadaj's ears. Kadaj's outright hostility was something new, actually. He hadn't seen Kadaj like this since before he and Asch made up. Or Out. New, but unsurprising. Kuja could rub you the wrong way within seconds of his ten penny thong-whore company. Axel would have called it art, except it was more a side effect.
"Never for you, darling," Axel replied to Kuja sweetly, sharply grinning. As pretty as Kuja was, his personality, as usual, grated. In a way, it was like bickering with a childhood friend. Growing up with someone just meant you dug up the best dirt, anyway. Axel smiled inwardly at the thought. Bickering with Kuja was too easy, annoying (like a piece of string stuck between your teeth), but lively. He figured he could suffer his company a bit more.
"Jealous, Jaja~? Sad to say, that featherbed you call hair looked better on the chicken." Axel suppressed the reflexive wince as sharp nails tore at his hair. "You still fight like a girl, Ku-gaki," Axel remarked conversationally. "Guess it can't be helped that hair's about the only thing you can grab onto." Using one hand, he gripped Kuja's slender wrist and calmly forced it away, smiling. Kadaj was still playing with his hair, but he didn't mind that. The teen's touch had no other purpose than familiarity and curiosity. Kuja was after something else. And like hell he was gonna take shit from anyone, much less Kuja.
Piercings? Oh yeah. He'd almost forgotten about that. Tilting his head slightly at Axel's tug, Kadaj shrugged. "Not yet. Niisan's so stressed right now he'd probably flip. I think I'm going to wait until after the trial's over before I even bring it up." And anyway, he was supposed to be presentable and a good kid for in front of the judge, lest someone get the wrong impression. The lawyers would probably have an attack if he got piercings right now too.
As for Axel and Kuja... he was getting the impression they didn't know each other just offhand. Kadaj had only met Kuja recently, but it seemed that Axel knew him quite well, though it appeared the redhead might not have been particularly happy about that fact. "I never said I enjoy spending time with you, Kuja." Kadaj rolled his eyes, resisting the urge to snort, "just because I don't mind talking with you once in a while doesn't mean I like your company." Really, his feelings on Kuja were conflicting; sometimes they had amusing, even enjoyable conversations, and other times he just wanted to punch him. It would serve Kuja right for slapping him before--
Then a twitch when the other man dug his nails into Axel's hair-- and scalp-- and Kadaj was pleased when the redhead made a point of forcing him to stop. If Axel hadn't, he would have. It looked like it had hurt. Shifting absently, Kadaj let his hand drift up to smooth at Axel's hair where Kuja had clawed him, shooting Kuja an annoyed look at the same time. "You two've known each other a long time, huh?" And then, "sucks for you Axel."
