A/N: This is my first ff in quite a while. This is a teaser as to what is to come. I'm still working on the first chapter. The title of the FF came from a Shakespeare piece. I don't remember which one it was, but I remember seeing it in one of his works and voila! It appears here.

Chapter 1
Why the Sun Sets Red

A relaxed sigh emitted from the blonde, his head falling back slightly to look up into the pastel colored sky. The sun was setting over the horizon, causing pale shades of red, orange, and yellow to rainbow towards the threesome. Each with a light blue Sea Salt flavored ice cream in hand. This was something the trio mechanically did after a day's mission. They would sit on top of the clock tower, just above Station Heights, and watch the sun set. Some days, silence would ensue amongst them, but it was a calming quiet; the kind of quiet that occur when friends are just enjoying one another's company.

It was odd; most would think scenery like the one they enjoyed so often would be romantic. Roxas couldn't quite understand what that met exactly, but he never dwelled on the though long enough to care. He enjoyed the company of the fiery red head, probably more than the brunette's company. He didn't think too far into the fact. All he saw was a couple of friends. Though, when he would glance at his fiery friend, the look in those emerald eyes confused him. It wasn't the same look he saw in the eyes of the three kids' he stumbled upon while on a mandatory vacation. And it certainly wasn't the same look that was always in his brunette friend's eyes, either.

Roxas was shaken back to reality as the redhead nudged him. He felt a drop of something cold through the black glove covering his hand. His ice cream was beginning to melt and Axel made sure to get his attention. It would be a waste of good dessert if the blonde continued to let it melt like that.

"You've been acting like a zombie again, Roxas." Axel teased with his smooth, husk voice. Why did Roxas even pay attention to his friend's voice? And why did it seem to entice him?

The blonde gave a small smirk before finishing the little amount left on the wooden stick. He glanced at the stick, seeing the word "WINNER" burned into the side of it. "I got another one." He licked off what was left dwindling on the stick before putting in his coat pocket.

Emerald eyes watched the actions of his friend. An ache in his chest urging him to touch the blonde, but he resisted it. He had to honestly say that with each moment, resisting the urges became harder. It seemed something was knocking down the barrier he held, refusing to let anyone inside. Since he had joined the organization, his cold interior was placed to replace what he was missing. The Organization was created to gather the hearts of many and create hearts for the members to become stronger. Now, Axel wasn't sure if they truly had hearts. But, there was always a thumping against his chest that ached every time he was with Roxas. He knew little about the ache. He was certain Roxas wouldn't anything about it. He didn't understand what point laughing about nothing among friends had.

If one thing was for sure, there was something within the fiery Nobody that wanted something. As emerald eyes looked out into the horizon, the pastel colors illuminating the sky, a ruffled noise came from beside him. He turned his head to Xion, who had stood up.

"I'm going to go RTC. Saix wanted me to meet with him after my mission." She spoke softly and with a slight exasperated tone. "I'll see you guys later." With her final words, she vanished into a dark portal.

The two that where left stared at the setting sun. It was quiet in Twilight Town, until the bell rang on the clock to allow the people in the town know the time. The ringing was soft and quiet even as they sat directly below it.

Axel turned to Roxas with a friendly smile. Roxas saw him looking at him from the corner of his eye and met his emerald gaze. The expression on his face was clearing asking what he wanted. Axel had a look in his eyes that showed something was on his mind.

"Hey, Roxas," Axel finally spoke turning his attention back to the sun set.

Roxas did the same, giving a "Hm?" in response to him.

"Do you know why the sun sets red?"

The blonde shrugged slightly at him. That is certainly a random question to ask, but he was sort of intrigued now as to why the sun did that.

"Because, out of all the color, red travels the farthest." Axel seemed quite proud of himself knowing something so scientific.

"Know-it-all." Roxas simply said, in a sarcastic tone while nudging Axel.

The two soon drowned themselves in laughter, enjoying the peace of only them. Sure, they liked having Xion around, but some days, both of them unknowingly wished she wasn't around. It gave them more of a chance to be alone, and just the two of them.

A/N: Sorry for the short chapter. I promise longer ones in the future. =)

Please review, I wish to see how I am doing so far.
And no flamming please. Flamming hurts my non-existent heart.

Demyx: HEY! That's my line! :(
Whoops, oh well!
