[Kingdom Hearts] Interest [8/1]
OH FOR THE LOVE OF -- Figures, right before the start of August's pimp!month, my laptop dies on me and refuses to even turn on. Dammit, and I'd already typed up the first three drabbles too. Rawr.
Hopefully this doesn't delay updates or anything.

Summary: In which Axel weasels his way onto the team going to Castle Oblivion.
A/N:Stupid ratings, I hate doing my own stuff. Sneaky little Axel. Just imagine how the game would have been different if he hadn’t of gone.
“If you could be so kind, Number Eight, as to tell me why you should be allowed to go to Castle Oblivion with the others?”
Axel sighed, leaning forward on the desk before him. “Xemnas — May I call you Xemnas? — Xemnas, it’s real simple. You want to do research on memory in that castle? Then the smartest thing to do is to send people who want to go, of course.”
Xemnas raised an eyebrow at the redhead. “And you mean to tell me that you would be interested in experimenting there?”
“Oh yeah, definitely. I love experiments, me. Especially on people.” With a grin, Axel ran a hand back through his hair. “Science is my life and all that jazz.”
Xemnas sat further back in his chair, regarding Axel coolly. “Your record says otherwise, I’m afraid.”
“Record?” Axel snorted. “I don’t have a record, sir. Merely a list of misunderstandings.”
“A long list, if what I’ve heard is true,” Xemnas replied, unimpressed. “The most recent, I believe, being your interference in Vexen’s last experiment on Heartless behavior.”
“Hey, he deserved it.”
“You took all his subjects, dressed them up with pink ribbons, and let them loose in his bedchamber.”
Axel snickered. “One of them trashed my coat. I had to dig this one out of storage.”
“My point exactly.” Xemnas paused, letting the silence surround them. “I want assurance, Axel, that if I put you on the team for Castle Oblivion, you won’t do anything that would compromise our work.”
Axel held up his hands in the universal sign for “I’m not armed, don’t hurt me” (a sign that really didn’t mean much for a group of people that could call up a weapon with a snap of their fingers). “I promise, Xemnas. I’ll be nothing but a big help. Hey, because you brought it up, I’ll be your personal enforcer over there. Everything will run smoothly with me around.”
“You know I’m not going to be assured just because you said all that,” Xemnas said with a sigh.
Shrugging, Axel put a hand on Xemnas’s shoulder as if that would help. “Yeah, but doesn’t it make me seem so much more worthy of your approval? I’m putting a lot on the line saying something like that. No one likes a teacher’s pet.”
Xemnas looked at Axel with an expression of resignation, brushing off Axel’s hand. “If you are really interested in working in Castle Oblivion, I won’t stop you. Please tell the others in a way that does not provoke an all-out brawl. For your sake.”
“Yessir, Xemnas! I won’t let you down. Honest.”
“Don’t push it, Axel.”
Hopefully this doesn't delay updates or anything.

See? There are benefits to being lazy!
Well, I'll be reading them later, anyway. Right now, I'm kind of...addicted to FFIX. But later, when I'm not obsessing over Vivi, I swear I'll read them.
no subject
Take your time. I wouldn't want to force anybody to read anything they didn't enjoy!
I wish my English teachers would follow that policy.And man, I still need to hunt down a copy of FFIX. Even though I've got like, twenty-million other games I need to beat/buy. Sometimes I wish I didn't play RPGs that basically consume my entire life. Ahaha.
