Roxas wasn't feeling well, that much was obvious. The way he was slouching and talking much quieter than usual; it wasn't Roxas-like at all. The kid was a ball of energy, always eager to get out of the castle, but this morning he hardly sounded excited when Saix issued him his missions for the day.
"What's up Rox? You look awful." Axel ruffled Roxas' hair, a look of concern evident on his face.
"Thanks for the vote of confidence…" Roxas murmured, smiling softly. "My head hurts…"
"Did you tell Vexen? You know he kind of plays the part of the school nurse around here." Roxas raised an eyebrow.
"Vexen? You can't be serious." Axel laughed.
"Yep. He isn't the most sympathetic nurse in the world, but hey, what can you do?" Roxas started laughing, which quickly escalated into a violent coughing fit. Axel grabbed up the blond in his arms before he collapsed to the ground, and promptly set off towards Vexen's lab.
"H-hey! I'm fine Axel." Roxas pushed on Axel's arms weakly, eyes half open.
"No, you're not. We're going to Vexen's." Axel's voice was more firm than it usually was. Roxas blinked, but nodded and went silent, falling back into Axel's arms.
