The hand in his hair is distracting and he hums softly as well, tilting his head into it slightly before giving a soft gasp at the firm grip tugging his head back and baring his throat. He doesn’t grimace though, biting his lip slightly because for all he didn’t like having his hair messed with, he liked rough grips like that.

As it loosens he only tilts his head slightly more forward so he’s more comfortable, the feeling of gloved fingers on his neck sending shivers down his spine. A smile spreads over his lips, playful and flirtatious. He doesn’t pull away, allowing the grip on his neck as it wasn’t causing him pain. “Well, what can I say. When.. I know what I want… just gotta go for it.”

The responsive way that Axel was to his touches was a slight surprise but also pleasing. It seemed that the red head enjoyed a show of dominance. Giving a short hum, the Superior flicked his gaze over the other as a low chuckle bubbled up and past his lips. 

"Indeed you do, VIII. Though, I can say the object of your eye is not so easily...gained." A coy look passing over his features for just a few seconds before it was gone. Allowing his hand to slip down and away from the fire user. "Then again, you've tended to be..such a good member. Perhaps even you could possess what it is you want."

He did know, and it hurt, it hurt. The very idea made his entire being tense with pain as his heart seemed to be trying to squeeze itself into a cube. He holds him tighter, nuzzling into his hair to avoid his gaze. He doesn’t want to answer, doesn’t want to admit that he already knew Saix would ask him for this, that he’d already made up his mind to do it if I he had to.

Finally he forces himself to pull back enough to meet his gaze again, “If there’s no other way. I—” He drops his forehead against Saix’s, squeezing his eyes shut as they began to water, forcing the tears back. When his reply comes it’s a faint whisper, and it’s obvious he doesn’t want to do this. He doesn’t want to admit that there might not be a way to save him.

Doesn’t want to admit he’s not invincible and neither is Saix and neither is their relationship. Or that he’s already decided if that was what it came down to, Saix wouldn’t be going alone.

"I promise," he ducks his head down to hide his tears. "I love you."

Hearing the emotion, feeling the pain that Axel was experiencing from his own words through their linked darkness.. It had his chest in knots. He hated to think of this too, not wanting to think that they couldn't put off the end forever..

But they couldn't..Xehanort will take his vessels eventually and then what? Neither of them wanted this life, wanted what was to come.. The diviner swallowed thickly and he wrapped his arms around the others shoulders tightly, golden orbs meeting for a few seconds. The sadness and silent apology echoing in them to his lover for having to ask such a thing.

But when Axel promised, it sent both relief and pain through him. Tears brimming his eyes as he knew-he was no idiot, Axel was too stubborn to let him go alone.. The realization of that struck hard and the diviner swallowed thickly before a shudder ran through him. Not wanting to think of such things.
