Welcome to Gaia! ::

"You don't have to thank me, Darling... I'll gladly do it again one day when you're not so busy..," Marluxia replied quietly, watching his love leave sadly. He stepped out of the tub with a sigh and wrapped a towel around him, listening to their brief conversation. Well, at least he's in a better mood now... That's good... He smiled softly to himself before hearing Vexen call back to him. "Alright, Darling. I love you, too!" he called back, peeking out of the bathroom just in time to see Vexen disappear out the door.

Axel jumped awake as well, cursing loudly as Demyx began freaking out. He hugged him tightly, rubbing his back. "Shh, shh. I'll get 'em." He kissed the top of his head before stumbling out of bed. He grabbed Demyx's pants from the floor beside the bed, immediately silencing the device before looking around for his own pants. He found them slung across the room and crawled over to them, his pajama pants sliding down a bit. He read what the pager said before silencing it. He then returned to Demyx and the bed. He pulled him into his arms, cradling him. "There's a mandatory meeting at four, Love. We have to go," he whispered softly. He looked over at the clock. "It's about 2:30 now... We can lay here for a little longer..." He kissed his lips gently. "You should take your medicine before we go, though. Just in case. Okay, Dem? I love you, Baby." He ran his fingers through Demyx's hair gently as he held him.

Roxas grumbled when his pager began going off. He was in the lab with Zexion again, head resting on his stomach. He hazily read what the message said and saw who it was from. He groaned adn turned it off. "Vexeeen, you coulda just told us..," he whined, nuzzling into Zexion's stomach comfortably.

Marluxia blinked for a moment when his pager was going off, muffled by his pants pocket on the floor. He walked over and checked the message, sighing softly. "What has he got you doing now, Darling..?" He checked the time then before sighing again, walking out onto his balcony, frowning at the view. The world was ever so gloomy... He wished that it wasn't as dank. In Marluxia's eyes, the world should be a happy place, not a dark, creepy, dangerous one.

Axel smiled softly and nodded. "Of course you can, Baby." He kissed the top of Demyx's head and stood up, walking over to the dresser drawer the meds were in. He pulled them all out and brought them over to Demyx. "I dunno which ones are which, so I brought them all..." He sat beside him again and set the bottles on the bed, looking at them all in confusion.

Roxas looked worriedly between Zexion and Vexen. "W-Will anything bad happen to him if he tests them out..?" he asked softly, worry clearly in his tone. He hugged Zexion gently, protectively. "I...I don't want him to get hurt or anything..."

Axel smiled. "I try my best," he said quietly, allowing Demyx to pull him into a warm embrace. He hugged him back, wrapping his arms tightly around his torso and laying against his shoulder. "Did you sleep okay..?" he asked softly, tracing circles on Demyx's stomach lightly.

Roxas bit his lip then shook his head with a smile. "No. I want you to get better faster, so go ahead and take it," he said softly, leaning down to plant his lips gently against Zexion's. He ran his fingers through his hair soothingly.

Axel smiled down at him and kissed the top of his head before he heard his last question. He sighed softly, holding Demyx tightly. "I dunno... I think so, since it's so urgent... Knowing Xemnas, something's going to be off..."

Roxas giggled a little at Zexion. "At least you don't hurt anymore, right?" he said softly down to Zexion with a smile on his face, gazing into his eyes happily.

Axel nodded and smiled. "Of course." He kissed Demyx gently. "As long as I'm here, you'll be okay." He held Demyx close and laid down comfortably with him, closing his eyes. "I love you, Baby," he said softly.

Roxas looked from Vexen to Zexion then back before nodding. "Okay." He kissed Zexion's lips firmly. "I love you," he whispered against his lips before portaling out of the lab to the Land of Dragons to train and kill Heartless for fun. They'd call him back when they were done talking.

Roxas was breathing heavily by the time he got back to his room. He was sweaty and pretty much covered in dirt. He felt disgusting. He stripped his clothes off and got in the shower, hissing as the hot liquid ran over some new cuts and scrapes. He groaned in pain. Damn rock slide... He then sighed softly, wondering if those two were done talking yet. He washed his hair and body thoroughly before he got out of the shower. He walked into his room, drying off with a towel. He had just pulled on his boxers when his beeper went off. He about jumped out of his skin. Checking it, he groaned once again and got dressed quicker. He didn't want to go to this stupid meeting. He just wanted to sleep.

Marluxia yawned and snuggled deeper into his blankets, missing the embrace of his lover whom he was dreaming about. When his pager went off, he twitched, shifted, then went right back to sleep. He hadn't slept well in a few days, and he was finally catching up.

Axel sat up abruptly in bed when the pagers went off. When he realized what it was, he groaned and rubbed his face. "Dem, we need to get up. The meeting's starting soon," he told him, shaking him gently.
