Popsicle Sticks
By UltimatePalmTree
"BAD ROXAS! NO ICE CREAM FOR YOU! BAD!"
"Awww… Marluxia!"
"No! That's my final word! Bad freaking ROXAS!"
Roxas sighed, and did that irresistible little pout of his. Only the first day of vacation and already things were going wrong! Marluxia not allowing him to have ice cream of all things… Well… That was taking it a bit far…
The pink-haired punk handed what was supposed to be Roxas's popsicle to Axel instead. When Marluxia walked out of the room leaving the three roomies (Axel, Demyx and Roxas) to themselves, Axel glared straight into Roxas's eyes before grinning arrogantly. The message was clear: "Ha-ha, I got an ice pop and you didn't! Nyah!" Once again, Roxas pouted.
"Hey, Demyx," Axel said, never looking away from Roxas's baby blues. "We've got ice cream cones!"
Demyx looked at Axel, confused and said, "You're just figuring this out now?"
Axel shot him a glare, and Demyx suddenly said, "OH! Oh, I know what you mean…"
The red-haired (former) wolf looked back at Roxas and languidly licked at the ice blue popsicle, starting all the way at the bottom and then dragging his pink tongue upwards on the icy surface. Roxas prayed his tongue would stick to it, just to prove him wrong.
A few seconds later, Roxas became an atheist.
"Isn't this freezing cold ice cream good, Demyx? Especially on a warm summer's day like today…"
"Yes, it is, Axel! It's soooooo good, I want to eat it all up!"
"Mmmmm… Does yours taste as good as mine?"
"I'll bet it tastes better than yours!"
"Does yours taste as good as ours, Roxas?" Axel grinned. "Oh, yeah… That's right. You don't have one!"
The other two Organization members laughed hysterically at their own jokes and began sucking on the tips of their popsicles, slowly and visually torturing Roxas.
Finally, the Thirteenth Organization Member couldn't take it.
"WILL YOU TWO FREAKING STOP IT!" he yelled, standing up. "YOU TWO ARE DISTURBING ME!"
At that moment, Luxord burst through the door with a disgusted look on his face. He looked at Roxas and then at Axel and Demyx and then back at Roxas. "Oh… Never mind then… Carry on!" he said brightly and shut the door once more. Axel looked at Demyx and shuddered, then kept licking at the popsicle happily.
Roxas looked at the display in disgust. First he couldn't have a popsicle, then Luxord became a pervert… What could he do to turn it all around?
"Race you to see who finishes it first!" Demyx said brightly.
"Nah… I'd prefer to savor it, y'know?" Axel responded.
Roxas suddenly grinned. He looked at Demyx and Axel and said, "Hey, which one of you got the popsicle Marluxia accidentally dropped in dog crap?"
The other two looked up from their popsicles. "What?" Demyx finally said.
"Yeah. I'm not joking either. Marluxia dropped one in dog crap, and then he just wiped it off on his pants," Roxas held up three fingers. "Scout's Honor!"
Axel and Demyx's jaws dropped slightly before they looked at each other.
Demyx finally said something, "Race you to the bathroom for the ipecac tablets!"
Short, sweet and to the point. I love my pit bull Inspiration; yes, I do! This is the only time I remember me breaking my self-imposed rule of no caps in a story. But, hey, it works better in all caps like that, methinks…
Anyway, if you don't get the last line, ipecac is something you take when you need to throw up, like if you ate something you weren't supposed to. Me, I hope I never have to take it. Just a personal preference, but…
Ah, well… Thanks to anyone who may be reading this! Without the feedback on past stories, I wouldn't have gotten this far! Fifteen fics! Whoo!
