This is dedicated to my awesome friend, and it's sort of a late birthday gift. I hope you like it!

To anyone who hasn't played Apples to Apples, it's a game where the judge of that turn picks a green card and you go through your red cards to choose the one you think fits best. The judge then looks at all the choices given to him/her, and picks the one that fits best.

"Alright, my turn!" Axel proclaimed.

He was the last out of the circle to get to judge a card in their game of Apples to Apples.

Axel drew a green card and looked it over. "It's… 'spicy!'" He said as he threw it onto the table.

Roxas, Demyx, and Violet threw their choices in, looking confident. (Well, Demyx didn't. He had no clue who the one he put in was…) All that was left was Clarise, and she pulled one from her stack and chuckled at it.

"Here," she said, smiling at the thought of it. The phone began to ring in the other room so she moved towards the door. "I'll be right back; tell me if I win."

Roxas mumbled an 'okay' as she left then focused on Axel, who was gathering the red cards.

"Okay, we have… 'taco night,'… 'your mom,'" He laughed at that one. "'Helen Keller,' and… 'pyromaniacs!' That one wins for sure!" Axel exclaimed. (He knew he was spicy. He knew it.)

"Who put in that card, anyway? Wasn't me." Roxas said.

"Don't look at me; I put in the Helen-something one, whoever that is." Demyx shrugged.

Violet began to rant to him about who she was but Axel didn't pay much attention. He was busy thinking.

So, Clarise thinks I'm spicy, huh?

That gave him a good idea.

Clarise came back into the room and Axel got up to meet her. She looked at him, definitely confused. "Axel, wha-."

"I'll show you spicy." Before it even registered her brain what he was talking about he leaned her back and kissed her.

As they kissed, Demyx and Violet looked at them and teased, "Ooooh!" while Roxas muttered, "Finally, about time."

Clarise and Axel broke apart and he pulled her back level again. He asked with a smirk, "Got it memorized?"

She looked straight into his eyes, and blushed a bit while saying, "No, I think you might have to show me again."
