How would Sora, Riku and Axel argue with thier s/o and make things up to them afterwards?

Sora :

Arguing with Sora is rather tricky. It never escalates to more than a silly fight between you two over the smallest of things - hogging the blanket, losing the remote, forgetting to do the dishes. It’s all mundane problems you two often laugh off. HOWEVER, if it’s something BIGGER and SERIOUS ? He’s taking the FULL blame for it, this is the way Sora operates 24/7 and OH HONEY

I’m trying to say that Sora’s developed some heavy ass martyr complex and he’s an unconscious hypocrite whose first instinct is to shoulder the blame for absolutely EVERYTHING that happens in his general vicinity and who cannot listen to reason at times, especially when his constant optimism stops working. So when a REAL argument breaks out it’s ENTIRELY because Sora cannot fix the problem at hand with empty sweet Disney promises, so he immediately blames himself. Like, please go argue with Xenahort INSTEAD of Sora if you can, cause holy shit there’s some layers and baggage here. 

I got carried away thinking about Sora’s mental health. EITHER WAY. The argument between you and Sora doesn’t EVEN feel like an argument - because he’s just there taking the blame, saying yes to absolutely everything you say and somehow making you feel like you're overreacting. Chances are you’ll pop a vessel and LEAVE because talking to him is just so infuriating. And it’ll be EVEN more infuriating when you see Sora trying to make amends without giving you space or time to process what happened. 

He leaves you heartfelt voice messages or texts apologizing, shows up with gifts at your doorstep, you name it. Sora is stubborn and persistent, probably asking Kairi and Riku for more ways to show you that he's sorry - so he's not going to stop until you go and actually tell him that you need him to back off for a bit. And maybe sit him down and force him to talk things out for real, it's going to be really difficult for him but he'll try for the sake of making the relationship work.

Riku :

Contrary to popular belief, even if Riku is/was (depending on how you look at it and who you ask) the edgiest of the trio, he is the most emotionally mature of them, too - since he’s had time to come to terms with all of his emotional baggage and work it out (while everyone he loved fell asleep/got lost/etc, yikes). Arguments with him are scarce, since he’s learned how to be more rational and calm, rather than just a frat boy with an inferiority complex. You're important to him, so he takes your feelings and thoughts into account and strives for a happy middle ground.

Buuuut even with all of this maturity, Riku still has his moments of paranoia where he might overreact and become overbearing, claiming it's for your "sake". Making something out of nothing. You know it. Perhaps he insists that you miss out on some big opportunity because "there's gotta be a catch". Something like that might cause a big argument between you two. Riku, always a pessimist at heart, will tell you about all the things that could go wrong, confess the fear of losing yet another loved one to something he could've easily prevented, etc - which only fuels his fears even more !

If you ignore his warnings, Riku would most likely try really hard to ignore you, in a "if you wanna be that way, then fine, go on" kind of way. Play it cool or whatever lmao. But he'd be checking up on you either way through social media or asking any mutual friends you might share if you're doing alright - cause there's no way he can confront you right off the bat (even though yknow, you've most likely been dating for a while but ok Riku). Until he calms down, stops getting embarrassed at his cringe behaviour, realizes he's overreacted and finally asks you to talk, face to face.

Not the type to bring any gifts to apologize, though - Riku feels that's a very awkward thing to do, as if he's somehow forcing you to forgive him just because he brought nice flowers. Gifts should be given to celebrate, not beg for forgiveness. His apology is very direct and honest, but if you leave him talking for too long, Riku will toted start to stutter out of embarrassment and oh boy. If possible he'd like to find a solution that respects both his and your feelings on the matter, so it doesn't happen again !

Axel :

This guy is all about full on confrontation, quite ironic for someone who was meant to be a sneaky assassin. He likes to rile people up for fun, because seeing everyone's reactions is interesting and you're no exception - you're no stranger to Axel's constant teasing. But sometimes, it can get out of fuckin' hand, maybe with a poorly timed joke, a comment that was meaner than intended, maybe you were just tired that day and didn't have the energy for his shenanigans. Either way, the argument totally starts because of Axel's oblivious ass and lack of touch.

Again, to him it's all fun and games - if he's offended you, he will apologize and make it ip to you with light touches and kisses. But if you continue being mad after he's apologized, Axel would just leave and let you calm down. He's not around the age range of Sora and Riku, sometimes people want to be angry and he gets it, catharsis is good. Still, Axel is impatient, so if you're not over it in a few hours, he WILL start complaining - again jokingly, to test the waters - but that will just escalate shit even further.

And that's when he starts being defensive. He's not above bringing up things in the past, and trying to one up you when it comes to volume if you raise your voice at him. Deadass like those dramatic couple fights in teen movies. Usually, it either ends with you two crying while eating ice cream together or making out, but the REALLY serious fights often end with you guys not talking to each other for weeks. And EVERYONE always knows whenever you two have a big fight.

Axel never apologizes openly, since he believes actions speak louder than words. Instead, he shows up at your house at 3 am, mascara running like the drama queen he is, waiting to be let inside so he can hug it out with you. And also make mental notes in his brain to be more mindful next time. For the next few days, he'll treat you to anything you'd like - from great dates to helping you around the house with any chores until he feels he's finally made it up to you.
