Prompt 001. Beginnings
AkuRoku
"So, you're number XIII?" Axel asked lazily, leaning back against the wall.
Roxas didn't even look up.
A frown settled onto Axel's features, and he pushed off the wall, leaning down until he was eye level with the blonde. "Hey, anyone home?"
Roxas blinked slowly for a moment, then his gaze focused on Axel's. "What?"
Axel shook his head at Roxas. "Look, I'm Axel, and I'm going to be mentoring you, or whatever the fuck it's called."
"Axel," Roxas repeated faintly.
"Yeah, got it memorized?" Axel rolled his eyes, crossing his arms over his chest and straightening up."C'mon, I got a lot to teach you today, and we can't RTC until you get the hang of it.
"RTC?"
"Return to Castle," Axel said slowly, enunciating each word for Roxas, though his tone was nothing but sarcastic. "Got it memorized?" he repeated.
"Yeah."
"Good, let's go."

Roxas licked thoughtfully at a bar of sea salt ice cream, glancing at Axel out of the corner of his eye. "I still can't decide if I like it or not," he sighed. "It's salty, but then it's really sweet, too..."
Axel grinned. "It takes some getting used to."
"I'll take your word for it."
Roxas sighed as he leaned back against the wall of the clocktower. Twilight Town was really a pretty place, and he could hear people moving around on the ground below, the trains as they left and entered the station, and then just the quiet whistling of the wind in his ears.
"Hey, Roxas?"
Axel's voice drew Roxas away from his reverie and he looked over at the Flurry, tilting his head. "Yeah?"
He stiffened with surprise when Axel's lips collided with his own, and the blonde let out a rather undignified squeak. Axel pulled away after a moment, licking his lips and savoring the taste of Roxas.
"W-what was that?" Roxas said, his voice still high with shock.
"S'called a kiss, Rox," Axel explained lazily. "Got it memorized?"
A/N: So, I decided to start the 100 Prompt Challenge from LJ, and I started with number 1, but the rest won't be in any particular order. XP But yay, AkuRoku?
