The first day they met here was snow on the ground and the trees were bare. He was looking for a place to get warm, he was working late.
The bell above the door chimed as it was pushed open, inviting a cold breeze to sweep through the small café. Axel turned his attention to the new addition to the relatively deserted café. A small blond bundled in a bright green fur trimmed coat was standing by the now closed door.
"Hello," Axel said, with a smile. The blond turned his attention to him, acknowledging him with a ghost of a smile.
"Hi," He said, making his way to one of the stools that lined the counter.
"Can I get you something?" Axel asked. The boy lifted his head, scanning the menu board behind Axel.
"A hot chocolate?" The boy asked. Axel smiled and nodded, moving to get the blond his requested drink.
"What are you doing out in this weather?" Axel asked, desperate for someone to talk too after a long, boring day of work.
"I was out with some friends," The boy said.
"And they let you walk home?" Axel asked, setting down the boy's drink. The blond quickly grasped the steaming cup in his hands and took a couple quick sips.
"Yeah, I just need to clear my head." Axel nodded and leaned against the counter.
"I'm Axel."
"Roxas," The blond said.
"I'll be sure to remember that," Axel said with a smirk. "So, Roxas, what did you need to think about?" Axel questioned.
"Stuff," Roxas answered still sipping at the hot chocolate.
"Oh, so did you figure this stuff out?" Axel asked. Roxas was silent for a while, focusing his gaze on the porcelain cup that held his drink.
"No," Roxas finally answered. "But that's OK," He said with a small smile. "I've got my whole life to figure out 'stuff.'"
"That's true," Axel agreed.
"So, Axel, do you play twenty questions with all the customers or am I special?" Roxas asked with a smirk.
"Cocky," Axel responded with a chuckle. "Maybe you are and maybe you aren't. Guess you'll just have to come back to find out."
"Maybe I will," Roxas smiled and set his now empty cup on the counter.
"Can I get you anything else?" Axel asked.
"No, I better be going, it's getting late." Roxas said standing and reaching into his jean pocket for money.
"Don't worry about it," Axel said, waving his hand dismissively. Roxas shrugged and dropped his hand back to his side.
"See you around, Axel." Roxas said with a smile.
"Hope so," Axel said returning the smile. The bell chimed again as Roxas left. "Maybe you are special, kid." Axel said to himself as he watched the blond walk away through the windows.
