MORE hugfic. written for @s-o-s-from-earth since they weren’t feelin too well and i, as the resident Fretful FRiend, must assure that they are at least happy while they recover.

[ao3 link]

He feels, quite frankly, useless like this. Bed-ridden as he is, there is not a variety of things to do. His eyes barely focus on anything he looks at as he gazes around his room; more often than not, he opts to simply keep them closed. Keeping them open is a task all of its own.

Vega doesn’t know yet. The AI had taken his state as merely well-deserved sleeping in. While he knows Vega will eventually catch on to his sorry state if he stays like this, he blows it off for as long as possible. 

Distantly, he can hear Vega and Inky chattering to each other: an impatient, squeaky noise from Inky answered calmly by the mech’s response.

Mrrah!

“Yes, dear, I am aware,” Vega chuckles. Something lands on the ground with a thump!, likely Inky giving up her perch on the counter.

Mah!

“You think so?” Vega muses. “Should we check on him?”

A pause. Myrrh!

Ah. So Vega is growing wise to his condition. He supposes he should at least try to get up to assure the other that nothing is wrong. The idea is daunting, but he is not one to show weakness. A deep breath summons all of his willpower and strength as he swings his legs over the side of the bed. Attempting to get up onto his feet proves to be a challenge--his head goes hazy and fuzzy as dizziness sets in, but he is persistent. A few minutes spent bracing himself on his desk with one arm allows him to gather his wits enough to continue. His steps are clumsy, unnaturally uncoordinated for him, but he tries his best to blow it off as exhaustion.

The door of his room whooshes open as he approaches. The dim-lit hall greets him on the other side, scarce and vast. Usually, he spares no second thought traversing from one room of the Fortress to another. This time, he seriously considers turning back to rest instead.

No, he tells himself. The Doom Slayer, savior of mankind, does not turn back for such a thing as exhaustion. Gather your wits, focus your energy, and get going.

His feet make audible sound as he pads down the hall, one arm still braced against the wall should he get dizzy again. He can still hear Inky chittering to Vega from the main room. Hell-bent determination makes him continue, footsteps uneven, though he hopes it’s not noticeable to anyone other than himself. 

Rounding the corner to the main room of the Fortress, he shields his eyes as the brightness of the LED lighting and starlight pierces through any shadows that exist. He sees Vega at the consoles, a datapad in hand, as he sits idly with one hand extended for Inky to rub against. The Slayer is positive the mech must have heard him approaching, but he does not look up until the man is in the room. Inky pauses in her frantic hand-bumping to look to him as well, chirping a greeting. Only then does Vega look up.

“Greetings, dear,” his smooth, warm voice rumbles. “I take it you have had enough sleep to settle yourself?”

The Slayer attempts to detach from the wall, gambling to see if he can stay balanced on his own two feet. His steps fumble as he descends, making Vega tilt his head, concerned. 

“Are you sure you are in fair condition?” Vega frets, setting the datapad aside. Inky stretches her head towards him from where she sits, seemingly scrutinizing him as well, piercing green eyes staring straight through his guise.

He grunts in response, struggling to stand up straighter. For a moment, it seems that he’ll be able to hold his own: the dizziness goes away, his head clears, and his balance returns. He rolls one arm in its socket, cringing at the pops and cracks that sound in response. 

“Are you…” Are you sure you’re sure? He knows it’s what Vega is about to ask. No offense is taken by it, however; he knows the other is prone to fretting.

Dismissively, he waves one hand in the air. Vega hums, unconvinced, but lets the topic go. Inky hops down off the console desk, landing near-soundlessly, trotting over to weave between his legs happily. Her tail wraps around his bulky calves, following her as she makes figure-eights at his feet. He wants to stoop over to pet her, but second-guesses it at the last second. 

“For God’s sake,” Hayden’s voice cuts in sharply over the speakers in the room. “Vega, sit him down before he passes out,” he grumbles.

“Why would I do that?” Vega counters smoothly. “If the Slayer says he is stable, then I believe him.”

Hayden snorts. “You expect that man to admit he’s not in top shape?”

“I trust him to be honest enough to let me know if he is not.”

The Slayer’s gut twinges. Is he somehow being dishonest to Vega by feigning stability? Inky brings him back to his thoughts, and he decides the only way to prove that he is alright is to show it. He sets his feet as Vega smartly counters Hayden’s not-quite-worrying quips, bending his knees to stoop over to get Inky within reach. She turns to him excitedly, eagerly settling herself between his hands to be lifted. He tucks her in one arm, her front paws reaching up onto his shoulder, the other hand steadying him as he stands back up. Already, she is purring, ferociously rumbling against his torso.

“I’m telling you,” Hayden insists, “he’s lying through his goddamn teeth. Make him rest.”

“Slayer?” Vega asks, looking him over. “Is Hayden correct in assuming you are unwell?”

Inky squirms in his arms, resituating herself. It’s just enough to unsettle him. His balance sways and he reflexively reaches a hand out to rest on the console desk to keep himself upright.

Vega is quick to act. He swoops in, slipping his arms under the larger man’s, ensuring he stays stable. The Slayer can feel the mech’s worried gaze looking at his face as his eyes cross, making him blink rapidly. Vega continues to hug him as he regains control of his body.

“Fool,” Hayden spits. “Get him to--”

Inky hisses in his arms, making both of them jolt. She wriggles out of his grasp, thunking to the floor, tail twitching irritably. She paces over to where Hayden’s ragged torso hangs limply before stretching up and teasing her claws on the metal.

The slight scrape is all it takes for Hayden to backtrack. “Fine,” the man snaps. “You know what to do, apparently. Disregard anything I have to say,” he grouses.

“Gladly,” Vega mumbles under his breath, making the Slayer’s mouth quirk up in a smile. At the same time, the mech seems to realize just what he had done on reflex, quickly retracting his arms and stepping back to a respectful distance. “I apologize Slayer, I did not mean to intrude. I was merely ensuring you did not lose your balance.”

The man blinks owlishly at him for a moment before it registers. Vega thinks he had intruded into the Slayer’s personal space and that he would be disgruntled by it. Without thinking, he huffs a slight laugh.

Vega looks at him worriedly. “You are…?”

‘It’s fine,’ he signs shakily. 

“No, you are not,” the AI scolds. “You should be resting, no?”

The marine shrugs. Should be, but he doesn’t want to.

“I know you are wont to do so,” Vega tries to reason. “But you should seriously consider at least sitting down until you are stable once more.”

He knows Vega is correct. He should be relaxing, letting his body recuperate and get over whatever little spell of sickness he’s caught. 

Inky chitters from the hallway, seemingly beckoning the two of them to follow her. Vega hums amusedly. “I may not know best,” he starts, “but she does, correct?”

Finally, he relents. He can hardly resist Vega’s persistent fretting, but he is not one to go against Inky when her mind is set. He straightens himself up, taking the steadying hand Vega offers to him, and begins to amble back down the hall. Inky checks over her shoulder frequently to make sure they are following her to her satisfaction. Another low, rumbling chuckle resonates out of him. Vega seems to positively glow as he looks up at the man’s rugged face, finally comfortable now that he has agreed to rest like he should.

Vega ushers him into their room, where Inky waits impatiently for them to settle on the bed where she can cuddle them properly. Gently, Vega helps him sit down, leaving to fetch him a glass of water afterwards. Inky promptly takes the chance to clamber into his lap, long fur tickling at his exposed skin as she attempts to rub her cheeks against his chin. He lowers her head to let her do so, smirking as her whiskers dance along his face. He loses himself in stroking her fur for a moment, content with simply being in her company. Vega quickly returns, setting the glass down.

“I will not go so far as to urge you to lie down right now,” he advises, “but you should if you feel dizziness once more. I believe the sudden onset is a result of insufficient nutrition over the past few days.” He huffs. “Somehow, you have managed to slip out of the schedule I had set for you, deliberately or not. I will do my best to ensure you return to normal to prevent another case in the future.”

The Slayer listens as he fluffs his pillow to make it more comfortable to lean back against, which he does so blissfully. Inky is quick to follow his warmth, settling on his stomach and curling into a compact ball. One of his hands wanders to her back, digging into her thick, black fur. He looks back up to Vega, blearily signing out something to the mech with his free hand.

‘Stay?’

Vega seems to melt at the request, his stern facade dissipating immediately. “Of course,” he hums, settling onto the mattress next to the Slayer. He tucks up into the provided space in the crook of the man’s arm, leaning against his thick torso. Inky adjusts herself to lie in the dip between their bodies, once again starting up a tremendous purr that they can both feel.

What the Cat Dragged In

I was TheWhitePumpkins‘s secret santa for the ff/kh Secret Santa! I hope you have a good holiday and you enjoy your piece!!

It was late when Axel got home from work. Letting himself in, he quickly shut the door behind himself, careful not to let Cactus, the dismissive tabby cat and roommate out. “I'm home.” He called out more for himself than the cat, how ever his call gained no response. Unusual, but the thought of the cat catching a few extra hours of sleep wouldn’t be unusual either. Toeing off his boots and dumping his bag onto the floor Axel scours the apartment looking for the fur ball. Not under the bed, not on the counter, not behind the couch and not on the window sill. He must have just found a new place to nap so Axel brushes it off, and prepares something to eat.

Its midnight when Axel’s jarred awake by a squeaking sound, he waits a few seconds, raking his brain for what it could be and when he realizes he has no idea, he grabs his phone off the bedside table, grabs a discarded belt off the floor and with shaking knees gets up and crosses the bedroom. Cactus runs past his feet and leaps onto the bed, ah there he was, the cats presence gives him a little more confidence going out into the house as now he has a friend to protect. He checks the house twice and nothing is out of place, when he returns to bed, Cactus is calm, curled up at the foot of the bed. Cats could sense danger right? If he was calm all must be fine. Axel climbs back under the covers, but he doesn’t sleep well that night.

                                                          -

“Cactus?” He calls out, again out of places to look for the feline. There’s not a patter of paws, or sound for response.  If that didn’t work, he only had one thing left to do. He prepared himself fish for dinner, Cactus would usually be nipping at his ankles for a bite. However when he had finished his plate, alone he started to get worried.

Its about a week later he realizes Cactus is getting larger. Which really contradicts the fact he hasn’t been eating much, and hes been hiding around the house avoiding playing with Axel. Its only late at night when he hears the squeak and his mind is racing that he puts two and two together and realizes, maybe, his cat is sneaking out.

The next day he calls into work and stays home to spy on his cat, a totally adult thing to do. But he missed his cat, and had no idea where he was disappearing to so Axel sets his laptop up in the living room and Skypes his phone. Its boring for the first few crack of dawn hours as Cactus meanders between sleep and general cat activities. When he leaves the scope of the laptop webcam he sighs and goes to fooling around on his phone. Its not much later that he hears a strange thumping sound. He gets up off his spot on the bed just as he hears the squeaking sound from the night and hes a running towards it. The kitchen. He grabs a belt he had now kept by his bed as he runs to ward off the intruder, instead he sees the bottom pane of the kitchen window slowly shutting.  Its only in his confusion that he sees his, not so little anymore, cat now outside and pattering away from the house.

Axel completely changes gears and makes a run for the door. Needing to find out where his cat was going everyday he follows just at the edge of his vision. It’s a few streets down that Axel sees the cat climb a fence all too well and way too quickly that he rounds the block and starts slamming on the houses front door.

There’s no response and he knocks loudly again. Finally there’s an answer. Axel is all too steaming with rage to care or even take in who answers the door.

“You stole my fucking cat.” He spits as soon as the door is open. Hes rigid and leans into the stranger.

There’s a beat of silence as the stranger, quite a bit shorter than him, with confused, bewildered and scared  deep sea blue eyes, dressed in some sort of band t shirt and some skinny jeans that hang off him and the most outrageously styled blonde hair stares up at him. “Marmalade?” He questions voice completely innocent.

“His name is Cactus and I saw him go into your backyard and I want him back”.  

At the sound of his name the cat in question comes up to rub against the strangers leg. Immediately Axel bends his lengthy frame and hoists the cat to his own chest. The much shorter blond makes a noise of protest and this arms go out to try to grab the cat but they pull back.

The stranger looks disappointed but Axel doesn’t care, they should have known better.

“Can I at least say good bye? I just want to know hes being taken care of.” The blonde sad eyes plead with him as he begs.

“I am taking care of him just fine.” Axel curtly nods, turns on his heel and walks home.

                                                         -

Cactus sits at the window and paws at it everyday crying. Axel has tried everything, feeding him better food, more attention if that was possible, and more toys, but the cat still cries, wont touch his food and leaves “surprises” all over the house.

Its with a bruised ego and a stone face that Axel goes back to the house that Cactus had been frequenting and knocks on the door.It takes a bit but the same guy from last time answers, looking less afraid but more uncaring, when he sees Axel however he gets confused.

“My cat misses you.” He admits and actually gets a good look at the person,

“I miss your cat.” It almost sounds like a question but with the amount of emotion in it Axel thinks it cant possibly be.

“I was thinking maybe,” he pauses to sigh “ he could come visit, every once and a while. “

“Yeah!” Its obvious the guy realized she sounded a little too excited. “Id like that.” He adds and he sees the blond smile for the first time and despite his bitter mood he cant help but smile too. “Roxas.” The man smiles and reaches out his hand to Axel.

“Axel.” He replies and shakes his hand.

                                                          -

When Axel brings Cactus over to the Roxas characters house he realizes Cactus likes Roxas much more than him, and realizes the punkish exterior he exudes disappears around the cat .At first Axel keeps up the standoffish front but as the Thursday nights at 6:30 start to build up the dam starts to wear down.

He learns that the blonde was 3 years younger, and had just moved into town around the time saying he needed a new start. He was lonely but couldn't afford a cat, so when “Marmalade” paid him visits he took him in without question.  And as much as Axel hated to admit it, he looked forward to the Thursday night play dates and talking with Roxas. He invited him out to a coffee shop to show him to at least the towns market so the poor guy could get out of his house, which he didn't seem to do.

He asks at one of the play dates mockingly if his girlfriend gets jealous when he comes over, and all too bluntly the blond replies that his late boyfriend would have thrown a fit. Axel picks up on it only after thinking it over twice and there's a slight pause. “ I moved away from my old boyfriend, we broke up and I needed something fresh. I needed a town a people who weren't filled with darkness.” Making eye contact has now filled their conversations and play dates rather than communally staring at the cat, but this time Roxas’ eyes are sober, serious and cold. “Im gay. If that's a problem, you're free to leave. “ The first part is quieter, but the later is firm and it seems so practiced Axels heart almost breaks. He’d enjoyed spending time with the guy, hell he had started texting with him about stuff other than their cat.

“Guess my gaydars broken.” Axel shrugs and Roxas slowly unfreezes from his resolve as he pieces together what he means.

“You're-?” Roxas asks, almost shocked.

“A homosexual.” Axel nods in a feign way as if taking in some new scientific discovery. He reaches over to pet the cat who is batting at a toy on a string Roxas is dangling. He can see the blond give a genuine, warming smile and he thinks he finally understands.

                                                               -

Axel takes Roxas under his wing. They spend time together, their regular cat play dates for about another month turn, the real motive usually being to hang out, side motive so Cactus/Marmalade can bask in both of their presences. There’s friendly texting, things that aren't cat updates or pics of what the tabby had gotten himself into. It isn't until they start meeting at Axel’s house and more outside, sans cat that things start to get, romantic. There’s never really a point where they realize they’ve decided to date. Axel just zones out one day, arm around his blond boyfriend, Cactalade as Roxas started dubbing him laying with his head on Roxas’ lap and his body on Axel’s while they binge watch Netflix that Axel realizes having two separate houses, really isn't necessary. Its a financial burden, and when the other leaves for the odd day a week they text each other nonstop. They've already started sharing financial responsibility for the cat, so really he thinks there cant be much else left, hes sure Roxas would pipe in there's a lot of differences but hes excited for them, and hes sure Roxas will happy shove each new difference in his face as the come up.
