A/N: This collection of short stories/drabbles is to celebrate AkuRoku Month 2013!

There will be 31 chapters for every day. I know I'm starting a little late but i promise I'll keep up. Hopefully this will get me out of my writer's block.(:

6 will be continuations of most of my previous AkuRoku stories and the next 25 will be based off songs.

Well, enjoy! And please review to let me know how I'm doing.


from "Coming Out"

Axel POV

When we told Roxas' parents about our relationship, to be honest, I was nervous. I knew Cid and Aerith cared a lot about their son and wanted him to be happy, but I wasn't entirely sure they'd be THAT open-minded.

So thankfully, they were okay with us being together. A while before we were going to leave to go see my parents, Aerith pulled me aside while Roxas was saying goodbye to his brothers.

"Axel," Aerith said in a low voice. "I want you to take good care of my son. Cid and I trust you a lot and you're a good influence on our Roxas. So you two stay safe..."

The last was said as a whisper in his ear as she gave me a soft hug.

"Of course I will, Aerith. He means a lot to me. He's still my best friend as well as my boyfriend. I won't let anyone or anything hurt him."

A smile graced her features and her hand cupped my cheek, "Thank you." I nodded and returned her warm smile.

Soon after, Roxas and I were in his car on our way to my parents' house.

"What did my mom tell you," Roxas asked with a glance in my direction.

One side of my mouth quirked up into a half smile and I laced my fingers together with his free hand, "She's just making sure I take care of you."

I laid a soft kiss on his hand and leaned over to kiss his cheek.
