Meeting

"Fuck, I sleep way to damned late on my days off" Axel said groggily as he slammed the snooze button on his alarm clock; at least the one he had set up by the couch. Of course, Axel did actually own quite a nice bed, but since he usually worked and stayed out late, he simply just came to his apartment and crashed on the couch. As for why he was actually sleeping so late, well, that was a little obvious; he was taking the day off. Actively running your own restaurant, including even still cooking it it, cold become quite taxing, and even someone with Axel's stamina needed a day off very now and then. Letting out a lazy sigh, Axel picked himself up from off the couch and began to go about his morning routines; even though it was no longer morning. This, of curse, included showering, brushing his teeth, and changing his clothes. Ready to finally head out, Axel made sure to grab a full pack of cigarette's and his wallet, before quickly leaving his apartment. After having locked the door behind himself, Axel took no time in pulling a cigarette out of his pocket; and with the snap of his fingers, it was lit. "But, what the hell to do now?" he asked himself out loud, inhaling deeply on his cigarette. Of course, Axel knew that the his building would be empty for the most part this time of day; and even then, anyone would be too afraid to confront him on speaking to himself out loud.

Deciding it best to just wonder aimlessly, Axel did just that. Of course, he was more than used to the awkward looks he got from people based on his appearance and the way he held himself. He knew that most people were either too scared to approach him, or, in the case of some females, were too busy swooning over him. Honestly, Axel couldn't care less as to what others thought about him, and could sometimes be caught using his "intimidating" side to mess with people who would have otherwise pissed him off. Of course, Axel wasn't a complete asshole, and once ya got to know him (or more accurately, IF you got to know him), he was a bit of a nicer guy. Then again, since it actually took a bit of work for a stranger approaching him to get past Axel's rough exterior, this was not an easy task. Still, as Axel found his thoughts drifting to possible new dishes for his restaurant, he found his body subconsciously taking him towards Fuma park. To be honest, Axel wasn't really a "park kind of guy", but seeing as he had already decided to wonder aimlessly, he decided to just follow his feet.

As soon as he reached the park, the first thing he noticed, was that he was getting slightly more looks than usual, though most of them seemed to be aimed at his cigarette. Hell, he should have known that a park was the last place to come to find people who were more "pro smoking", but by now, he gave even less of a shit than before. And, since no one was brave enough to actually approach him and tell him to stop smoking, he at least wouldn't have to deal with that. Still, as he walked through the park, Axel began to sense something that seemed to be a little off. While his skills at actually detecting others was pretty good, he sometimes had trouble distinguishing between the different types of reiatsu. With his curiosity now piqued, Axel finally set a destination for himself, and went towards the peculiar sense. Of course, it didn't take him long to find the source, and as luck would have it, he got there just in time to see a young looking fall from a tree. "Damn, is she really the one I sensed just now?" he thought to himself before anything else. Of course, not being a complete asshole, he did actually approach the girl, and as he reached her, he outstretched his hand, offering to help her up. "Ya know, sleeping up in a tree is a dumb-ass idea if ya tend to roll around in your sleep" he said, his tone making him sound a little like a smart ass. Then again, that was just the way he usually communicated, so he really didn't pay any mind to what others might think of it; not that he would care. Now being close enough, Axel was able to get a good look at the girl, and he had to admit; she was pretty hot. Of course, Axel was the last person to be dumbstruck by a hot girl, and while he may have been attracted to her, it wasn't like he was gonna lose control and start trying to hump her leg. In fact, seemingly nothing changed in his facial expression or body language to even acknowledge that he thought this girl was hot.

So, the girl didn't accept his help in getting up eh? Then again, it wasn't as if this bothered Axel at all; he had merely offered to help her up cause he felt like it. As expected, the girl began to dust herself off, and Axel just stood there and waited till she was done. Now, don't mistake this for being "polite"; Axel simply wanted to see her reaction to his first comment. And, soon, he got his response. He couldn't help but let out a small laugh at the girl's not too pleased reaction; though she did well to cover it up. Still, Axel didn't really care how others reacted to his words, and this led to him speaking in a more blunt manner. Hell, while you might not like how he says it, Axel seemed to have a way of always speaking on what was directly the problem. Of course, in this case, it was just a simple statement he had spoken, neither really getting at any "issue", nor truly being said just to be an ass. Still, that slight...frustration was probably the best word, at his statement was short lived. While he had taken his time to look over her body, and did admit she was pretty hot, he was in no way "enchanted" by this girl, at least not by looks alone. While one may not have guessed it, Axel was actually not a shallow person; he actually needed for a girl he was attracted to to have a personality that he liked before really attempting anything. Of course, because this was actually more rare than Axel would have liked, most girls assumed that he only went for "really hot" girls.

Now, all this aside, Axel was actually able to catch the girl as she looked at him; and even noticed the...intensity with which they were, well, he could only assume studying him. This, of course, made Axel laugh a bit to himself; even if this girl somehow managed to "read" him, the only thing she would find is that he does not give a shit. Sure, he'd admit that she was hot, but if she had a bitchy personality, Axel wouldn't even take the time to hit on her. Then again, since he preferred women with a more "mature" personality, and since this girl looked to be only 16 and sounded even younger, chances are er personality wouldn't "win him over". Granted, since he could tell by the girl's reiatsu that she was at least not an ordinary human, there was a very good chance that she was older than she appeared. Of course, Axel wasn't paying these thoughts much mind, if any at all, as there was no use in trying to gauge this girl before she even spoke. As the girl asked his name, Axel sighed a bit and crossed his arms; it wasn't as if he was against giving his name, he just didn't know if this girl would end up pissing him off yet or not. "Eh, the name's Axel, no last name so don't ask about it, and I am the owner of the restaurant Pele's Passion" he said, giving his introduction. As for the last name part, it wasn't a difficult topic for Axel, nor was there any real reason behind it; he didn't have a last name, and asking him about it was just annoying.

With his introduction done, Axel listened to catch the girl's name, mainly just so he had something to call her. Although one may not have guessed it from his attitude or appearance, Axel was actually a very intelligent person. Because of this, Axel was easily able to catch...Mizuki's slip, a word that began with "suc". Of course, Axel was not fooled by this, and he now had enough to assume that the girl was some race other than a human; despite what she said. "Uhuh, sure, whatever ya say Mizuki" Axel responded, and obvious amount pf skepticism in his tone. While he was almost positive that she was not a human, Axel really didn't feel like going through the trouble of calling her bluff and let her believe what she may; though if she were smart enough to read his tone, she would have known that her little gig wasn't flying. As the girl, er, he should probably refer to her as Mizuki in his thoughts so as not to forget the name before he stopped caring, took a step away from him, Axel felt a bit relieved. It wasn't as if he felt that he was gonna try anything on/with her, he just didn't trust her enough to let her be too close to him. Of course, Mizuki's next act admittedly caught Axel off guard. Quickly, the girl walked straight up to him, almost touching him, and looked directly into his eyes. While it did catch him off guard, the act did not leave Axel flustered, though he was secretly hoping that this girl didn't have a bitchy personality. "Goddamn, this chick is crazy" Axel thought to himself. Of course, judging by her actions, and the way she turned away, Axel could tell that she had to have a "flirty" and mischievous personality. "The hell is your game exactly? You fall out of a tree and then try to seduce the first person who finds ya?" Axel asked. Unlike earlier, his tone didn't make him sound like an asshole, but was a bit more...well, playful is not the right word, but it is the closest description. While he probably could have guessed that those were Mizuki's intentions, his question really was meant more in a joking way.
