A/N:So, mainly about Axel and his fire powers. This is the Theme 15 Flames from LiveJournal but I'm doing both A and B parts plus the extras.

Fire and Flames

(A.K.A. 15 Flames Theme)

SET A:

1. Just walking by

There was a reason why Axel was a fire fighter. That reason haunted him every night and day, during each time he worked to smother the fire he so wielded. It happened few years ago…

Axel had been down for several months. His best friend had left few years ago to tour the worlds but he always sent a card, text message or a letter to Axel. For the past two months Axel hadn't got any kind of sign from Demyx.

Axel was just walking down a lonely street. He sighed when he smelled the fire and walked to the scene where a four-storey building was on fire. Axel didn't care. He only sighed and just walked by the whole thing… It happened to be the worst thing he could do.

The next day Axel checked from the paper about the fire. He never managed to read the whole story about it. He only stared at the names of the people who died in the fire… His best friend's name was on that list. Demyx WaterGate.

Demyx had always tried to get Axel to become a fire fighter but not until then did Axel give much of thought to it. Axel always told that Demyx would make better fire fighter than Axel but the Nocturne had other plans… Music. Demyx became famous musician in every world he went to.

Axel never found out why Demyx hadn't send any messages for two months nor told that he had come to the town… Axel could only honour his best friend's memory by becoming a fire fighter and make sure no one else lost someone dear in a fire.

2. Shh!… It's a secret

Demyx was waiting for his friend at an abandoned house. They had found the place some time ago and taken the place to be their secret hideout. Axel had sounded quite exited on the phone about something and wanted to show it out to Demyx straight off. Eventually Axel ran to the place.

"So, what's the important thing, Ax?" Demyx asked quite curious.

Axel looked around to make sure they were alone. "Just watch." He whispered, rolled up his sleeves and put his hands together. "I realized this some time ago and... Well..." Axel tried to explain before he opened his hands again and showed a small fireball. Demyx stared in awe. "Cool, huh?" Axel asked happily and Demyx couldn't do anything else than nod. "Don't tell anyone. They'd freak out." Axel said while the flame disappeared. Demyx nodded.

"Secret is a secret. It'll stay between us." Demyx said while nodding. Axel smiled.

3. Fuel

Axel had many things that fueled his element, fire. First of all was, of course, Axel himself. He called it out and controlled it. He could keep it living as long as he wanted and if ever needed, he could make a suicide through it… Well, probably only if there wasn't any other way of saving those he cared about.

As second thing that fueled the fire, was his two friends Demyx and Roxas. Well, Demyx mostly, for two reasons. One, Demyx was Axel's first true friend. And second, the kid always seemed to need saving from anything and everything. And Axel would do anything for his friends.

Third would be easy to guess. Meaning all that burned. Axel loved to burn lots of things but he also did few other things such as the New Year's fireworks and bonfire for Midsummer.

Fourth reason was for fun. He loved to put up a fire show for his friends and show off how well he could control the element. And Axel loved to just watch the burning of a small fireball…

Fifth reason came from one mission… He had needed to use it to keep a small shack warm when a snow blizzard was raging outside and both of his friends were with him. If Axel hadn't been there with them at that mission… Demyx might not have survived.

4. Give me what I desire

Axel had been only once nearly fooled and during a mission none the less. The whole thing had been mostly easy thing. Just to kill several Heartless. Easy and fast done but something caught his interest. A small writing on a wall… A promise of getting all he could desire.

Of course, Axel got interested and went to check it out. The tent was small and dimly lit. There was an old woman sitting on the ground right in front of small table. "Come on in… Fire elementalist." She called. Axel took few hesitant steps closer and sat down.

"I can give all you could possibly desire." She started.

"Really now?" Axel asked sarcastically and she nodded. Axel closed his eyes and let his mind wander. There was a lot he could wish for. Being rich, having his heart back, being famous… Everything went through his mind.

"It'll cost you, though…" The woman said and broke Axel's dreaming. The Flurry frowned.

"Cost? How much?" Axel asked little suspicious. It had sounded way too good after all. The woman grinned.

"Nothing much… Only your element…" She answered carefully. Axel chuckled and shook his head.

"Forget it then…" He said, stood up and walked away. After going far enough and out of sight, Axel created dark portal back home. He lay on his bed for a while before something got into his mind. Writing two fast notes and dropping them through two different dark portals, Axel waited.

He called a small fireball, which he kept on tossing from one hand to other but luckily it didn't take long before there was a knock on Axel's door. Grinning Axel called who ever were at his door to enter. Demyx walked in little confused. "Axel…" Demyx started but Axel cut him off.

"You'll get the answer real soon. We'll wait for a while…" Axel started before there was another knock on the door. "Come on inside!" Axel called and Roxas walked in as confused as Demyx. Axel grinned, stood up from the bed and real fast hugged both of his friends. "You just did as I asked you to do…" He whispered happily.

On the notes was written: "Give me what I desire." Both of his friends had recognised his handwriting and come question about the wording… Of course, what Axel really desired were only his two friends to be with him now and forever.
