Well I am back!

Kind of sort of. I've been having a massive, insane, bought of writer's block combined with all the stress of school and trying to find a job. However, all that is not important -and what is important is that I am attempting to get out of my block by doing 365 Drabbles.

A bit about it: It'll be one drabble a day for 365 days. They won't be titled in the drop down/chapter select, except for special days -like today is Axel/Roxas day. They will vary in size. I know drabbles are only about 500-700 words, some of them will be much longer -but none of them will be longer than 2000 words. ALL THE PARINGS, I mean it -they will all be random, if anyone has a suggestion for a pairing they'd like to see sooner just let me know and I'll make it happen. The overall rating for this is T for mild swearing and suggested themes, and there is no room for negotiation -this is going to stay light and fluffy with maybe a little bit of angst depending on how my mood swings!

That's it!

To start off this shindig I give you;

Title: Calling the Kettle Black
Pairing: Axel/Roxas, mentioned Riku/Sora

"We'll meet you there, alright?" The sound of his twin's voice echoed over the line. Roxas held the phone in a tight grip as he stared out the window, no it wasn't alright.

It would never be alright, and in fact, "No...Sora it's...I don't want him anywhere near me." He pinched the bridge of his nose as he heard a sigh from the other side, "I know what you're going to say and the answer is still no. It's done. It's over. Tell Riku thanks but no thanks and..." he took a deep breath, "I hope you're happy."

Roxas hung up and tossed his cell phone to the far side of the couch before leaning back and rubbing his hands over his face. Three years, he had given three years to a relationship with the man of his dreams, and that's not even counting the year and a half that they had known one another beforehand.

Sora had introduced Roxas to Riku, the two of them went to the same university and both played on the school's hockey team. It had been the semi-finals and Roxas had gone down to the locker room at half-time to visit his brother but instead he got a full view of Riku, bending over to pick up a water bottle. Sora had caught him staring and from then on the brunet was always trying to play matchmaker. What neither twin really knew was that it was Sora; Riku had been trying to get close to the entire time –close enough to touch.

Roxas shook his head and groaned softly, it wasn't doing him any good to sit in the apartment and dwell on it. Riku was gone, he was with Sora almost four hours away at a dorm party on campus, it was time that Roxas up and left too. Not completely of course, the blond still needed a place to live for the moment and there was still three months left in the school term. He was fine.

Grabbing his jacket and slipping on a pair of sneakers Roxas didn't care that he wasn't dressed up enough to go anywhere nice or dressed down enough to go to a dive. He just wanted to go and anywhere was going to be good enough for him.

He left his phone on the couch but remembered to grab his keys off of the coffee table as he slipped out the door and locked it behind him, sighing as he waited to the elevator and cursing himself for agreeing to rent an apartment on the thirteenth floor. Well, technically it was only the twelfth but counting ground floor it was thirteen. Leaving the building, Roxas let his feet take him wherever they felt like going and after walking for a few blocks he found himself in front of a little cafe.

He dug around in his pockets and let out a soft chuckle when he found a five dollar bill in his jeans. Maybe his luck was starting to come back, he sighed to himself as he pushed the door open and it gave a little jingle as the bell above it rang.

"Welcome to Call The Kettle Black," the voice came from behind the counter as a tall man walked out from, where Roxas assumed to be the kitchen, "takeout or sitting?"

"Ah..." Roxas blinked as he took all of the man in. He was tall, very tall, and just as skinny –but not sickly so, in fact he could pull off the tall and lanky look extremely well. Vibrant red hair was pulled in to a ponytail, that sat at the base of his neck, with a few strands falling free and framed his face which made his sharp green eyes stand out even more. He chuckled and Roxas blinked again, blushing for having been so obvious in his staring, "I-I'll be..."

"Sitting." He said it so surely, even with one eyebrow cocked so elegantly it made Roxas's mouth water. All the little blond could do was nod. "Name's Axel, and you better have it memorized 'cause I'll be the one serving you today." He grinned. God, even his teeth were perfect.

"O-Okay..." Roxas nodded slowly as he took the menu Axel handed to him and, if it was at all possible, opened it even slower as he looked at it. He stared at the words long and hard, even as Axel walked towards the counter as another customer came in, he pretended as though an organic double hot-fudge latte with soy was the most amazing –wait.

Roxas raised an eyebrow as he scanned the rest of the menu: soy, soy, soy, low fat soy –everything on the menu was made with soy milk, organic cocoa, and other organic foods. He wrinkled his nose, and his look worsened as he flipped the page. He nearly had a heart attack when he heard a chuckle come from beside him. He lowered the menu and peeked over the top, and was met with, amused, green eyes,

"I take it you're not big on the healthy foods?"

"No...I'm all for being healthy but," he sighed softly, "I like milk."

"I understand." Axel nodded as he stood up straight and ruffled the blond spikes, "How about this? I get off work in about ten minutes, so how about we go for cheeseburgers and ice cream."

Roxas looked up at him and blinked. Seriously, was a guy he met only five minutes ago asking him out on a date? He'd seen this type of thing happen before –on Criminal Minds. He wasn't falling for it, he wasn't about to become another corpse to come floating down the river he –Roxas took a deep breath and closed his eyes, counting to ten. Time to let logical thought try and come back for a moment. While it was possible that Axel could potentially murder and rape him, it was also just as likely that they would simply go for burgers and ice cream. When he finished counting and opened his eyes again, Axel was looking at him with a look that was more concerned than amused,

"You alright?"

"I'm fine, thanks..." he smiled, "And my name's Roxas."

Axel grinned, "Well what do you say, Roxas, cheeseburger and ice cream?"

"Promise you're not going to kill me later?" He chuckled, and Axel laughed.

"Why would I want to kill someone as attractive as you. That's a pretty lame pick up right there," He leaned down again, elbows on the table, his noise a hair away from Roxas', "Hey, I just met you and I might be crazy –so eat a cheeseburger and I'll kill you maybe."

Despite how real his fear of being killed in the next twenty minutes was, Roxas couldn't help the laugh that bubbled and exploded from his lips. It came from somewhere deep inside and he couldn't control it, couldn't stop it, not until he had to catch his breath anyway. Axel chuckled and watched the blue eyed, blond haired, guy sitting there laughing his ass off at the lamest joke he'd ever told.

Roxas took a deep breath and chuckled, "Wow...I don't think I laughed that hard since before I started dating my ex."

"Mmm, I'll take that as a compliment...but you still haven't answered me." Now he was pouting. Roxas couldn't believe this guy, he was awfully persistent...but he had the face and body to make up for it. He watched as Axel 's arms supported his weight on the table, the red head may have been lanky in structure but there was nothing small about his form. There were muscles there, and they were well defined. Roxas could only imagine that Axel had abs to match, a nice and solid stomach that was lightly dusted in fire engine red hair that trickled down to –okay stop. Roxas had to close his eyes and breathe again, this time counting backwards from twenty.

When he opened his eyes a second time he stood up, "You're ten minutes are up."

"Let me just go grab my jacket, Roxy."

Axel vanished through the door behind the counter before Roxas could say anything else. Roxas clenched his fists at his sides and breathed heavily through his nose. He hated that nickname. Riku would call him 'Roxy' whenever he used his 'watch it' or 'don't argue with me' tones of voice. Roxas relaxed a little when it clicked in that, Axel didn't know this and was simply giving him a nickname. A stupid smile crept on to his lips as he waited by the door. When Axel came out, the red head reached over and grabbed Roxas's hand,

"How does a double cheeseburger with a large ice cream to consummate this engagement, sound?"

Roxas chuckled, lightly holding the hand back. He probably should have pulled back, taken his hand away and told Axel that there were boundaries that shouldn't be crossed –just yet anyway. But, he couldn't. It just felt, so right to hold hands and walk down the street together. Laughing, as Axel told him stories about the goings on at the cafe and some of its regulars, and feeling happier than he had in a long while. He knew that Sora was going to object. He knew that Riku was going to tell him he was crazy. He knew that his parents weren't going to approve of some ripped-jean wearing hippy dating their son, but he didn't care. For once –no not for once. He hadn't cared what people thought when he started dating Riku, though looking back he should have listened to them as he did what he wanted to. This time, this time it was going to be right because...

"I don't even know, Sor...it's hard to explain." Roxas smiled as he sat on the couch, in his new living room, a few months later. Boxes were still piled on top of each other haphazardly and he knew that he should get around to unpacking them before something fell over and broke, like say the dishware?

"I just don't like how fast you're rushing in to this..."

"Don't tell me about fast, Sora, how long did it take after Riku and I officially broke up for you to switch roommates and live in the same dorm as him?" Roxas shook his head, "You're a classic case of the pot calling the...kettle black." He chuckled softly,

"W-what...Rox, no –I-is it worth...what's so funny?" Sora stammered as he tried to think of an excuse to give his twin, but nothing came to mind. Roxas shook his head and hung up without saying good bye.

"Honey, I'm home!"

Roxas smiled as the, real, man of his dreams walked in to the small apartment holding a bag from McDonalds and a grin on his face, "Cheeseburgers again, Axel? You're going to make me fat."

Axel manoeuvred his way through the maze of open and half unpacked boxes, settling himself down on the couch next to Roxas, with a grin he leaned over and kissed him, "We can just tell everyone you're pregnant."

"You...are awful." He chuckled and pulled him in to another kiss. Axel dropped the food in favor of cupping Roxas's cheek. Yes, Roxas thought, it was worth it.

There you have it!

Like I said, if you have a pair-request -leave it in your wonderful review.

In other news: Fellowship of the Key WILL BE CONTINUED once I 100% get everything down that I want to do with it. Seriously, my plans for that change everything I sit down to think about it! XD
