Chapter One
Axel and I sat there on that beach, the one that I had seen from Sora's memories. The calm blue sea stretched out as far as the eye could see, I could understand why Sora liked it here. Although, I suppose, he would never return here again, Xemnas saw to that, Sora was a fool to think he could stop him. Yet Xemnas triumphed and saw to it that those of us in the Organization were born again, with hearts. The effort killed him in the process, but finally we nobodies were no longer forced to live a life on non-existence, without hearts.
"I can see why Sora liked it here," said Axels smooth voice from beside me.
"Sure can," I agreed, while watching the sky slowly turn from a deep blue, to the sort of orange I grew accustomed to during my brief time in DiZ's Twilight Town.
I turned and saw Axel smiling at me, happiness suited him. There was a look in his eyes I couldn't read, a kind of mischievous look, like he was planning something.
"Roxas..," he started.
"Yeah, Axel?"
"You ever wanted to tell someone something, but you couldn't quite find the words to do it?"
"Huh? Uh, no, not really. Who-"
"You,"
"Oh. Well c'mon Axel, we're best friends, you know you can tell me anything!"
"Yeah.. Roxas, I, uh well,"
"C'mon Axel! Spit it out already!"
Axel shuffled over to me, and closed his eyes, planted his lips firmly on mine. My eyes widened in shock, I'd never been kissed before, let alone by a guy. I closed my eyes slowly and kissed back, taking in his scent. Suddenly all these new feelings rushed though me, until I felt as if I was going to burst, then we parted. I opened my eyes and Axel threw is fire-like hair back and grinned with that look in his eyes again, I couldn't help but grin back.
"Does that make it clear enough?" he asked me cheekily.
"Axel, what if the rest of the Organization finds out about this? You know the rules Saïx set regarding feelings!"
"Well, maybe they don't need to find out!" Axel replied, sounding slightly hurt, "I would have thought you'd put me before the Organization. Anyway, I'm off; see you back at the castle."
He summoned a portal and stepped in, leaving me to watch the rest of the sunset.
