Axel ruffled my hair. It was comforting, a forgotten mystery that I hadn't felt in a while. I missed the fire hazard being around to be my little teddy bear to run to. Saix isn't as comfortable as Axel is and he's also a lot colder than Axel.
"Hey comon, I missed you and you're barely even talking to me." I buried my face in his cloak, breathing in the flames. Axel chuckled and pulled me closer,
"Sorry but I just missed your fire." I say softly into his cloak. He chuckles again and it makes me feel closer.
"Then let me start one, you're chilly." I nod. He leads me into the fire place room, Demyx is sitting on the couch and smiles at us. Axel throws a flame in the hearth and lays down about 2 feet away, facing the heat of the fire. I curl up to his stomach, my back you the heat, his empty space inside where a heartbeat should be. I slowly fell into sleep, my breathing slow and steady. Axel watching and playing with my hair. Demyx slipped out a moment later, leaving us alone with each other.

I woke up, curled up alone with a blanket over myself. I curled it around more and stood up sleepily walking to the kitchen rubbing my eyes as I went.
"Hey there." Alex smooth voice envelopes me. Eyes still closed I smile and rub them more, yawning after a while. He hugs me from behind. His chin resting on my dirty blonde hair. I turn around and smile looking into his vibrant green eyes, sparkling with mischief. I hug him again sighing. Today will be a good day.

"I need to go to Castle Oblivion, check out what happened. Return with more information. Don't come back until you know for sure what happened." Mansex was sending him away. Again.
"But, but we already know what happened! It was that devil boy!" I try and keep Axel with me, but it fails like every other time. He's leaving, I can't help him. I can only wait and hope he returns with his fire.
Zexion drags me away slowly. I have tears in my eyes, still wrapped in my blanket. It smells like his fire. I choose to sit alone in the dark, Zexion tells me it's not healthy to not eat while Axels away. But I just can't. The food doesn't go down right and I don't like the warmth.
"I won't eat till he is back, it's final Zexion." I say glumly.
"Fine then miss stubborn. Just don't kill yourself from starvation." He walks off and I go back to the fireplace room. I rub my hand over the ashes, blackening my hand. Like the time I played with fire and was burned. That was when I first met Axel. I grab a charred branch and go sit in the corner, playing with it as my tears flow.
