Ficool

Chapter 3 - 3. What do you mean you don’t know?

"Can I at least have breakfast?"

"It's almost noon. The kitchens are getting ready to serve lunch."

"So… no bacon?"

Both annoyed and amused, Dane starts walking slightly faster.

"I'll buy you lunch after your done getting yelled at."

Axel groans,

"Come on… can't I just ditch the meeting and hang out with an old friend?" Axel's says, his slippery grin returning to his face once more.

Dane yanked on Axel's wrist, making him stumble forward. The long and empty hallway echoes with the soft thuds of their soles hitting the hard marble flooring.

"Would you stop that?!"

Ignoring Axel's question Dane attempts to get the idiot back on topic,

"You don't even know what the meetings about."

"Why should I care?" Axel retorts, slightly annoyed at being ignored, again.

Dane stops walking and turns to glare at Axel. His gaze cold and almost pitiful.

Axel flinches and shifts his gaze to the floor nervously.

"You know… you act like you couldn't care less about this, but you do."

Axel scoffs, almost laughing at his absurd statement,

"What gives you that impression?"

Dane's eyes soften slightly,

"You just… I don't think you're just an ass."

"Wow… so only partially an ass?" His usual playful yet hallow tone returning.

Dane's eyes hardens again as he continues to drag Axel along the rich and empty hallway.

"Not in the mood for jokes, Hu?" He looked almost disappointed, though his tone was still that of a jester.

The only sound that Dane made was that of his footsteps echoing in the hall.

"Would you at least tell me what I'm walking into?"

"I thought you said it wasn't important?"

"It's not… but the silence is killing me."

"… they haven't told me anything." He admits, his voice more serious than usual.

Axel tilts his head slightly, "What do you mean you don't know? You're job is to know."

"… Well I don't."
