I do not own Kingdom Hearts or the characters in it if I did I would be very happy right now

The Journal and Axel's feelings

The heart is such a strange thing; you take it for granted when you have it but when you lose it you feel nothing, literally not even a beat. Nobodies are like that we still have a bit of emotion but it's only simulated… right? It was the day that I started thinking about our emotion. It was then that I started to notice-

"Hey Axel what'cha doin?" Startled I shut my Journal and looked over my shoulder, a girl stood there. She had blond hair with two strands sticking up making her look like she has antennae. She was wearing a black cloak just like me the standard uniform of Organization XIII. The most noticeable feature though was her eyes, a startling shade of green that shocked you to the core.

"Nothing that concerns you Buggy" I said grinning. Larxene, Number XII in the Organization, The Savage Nymph, the lightning mistress, undoubtedly the most sadistic person I know, and one of my best friends.

"Of course it doesn't Hot Head" she said, and then she looked at the book I was holding. "I'd never have pegged as a reader Axel, more like a person to jump off a cliff into nothing but rocks." Before I could do anything she grabbed my journal and teleported out of the library.

'Oh crap' I thought and teleported into her room and there she was sitting on her couch just opening it to the first page. I raced over there and ripped it out of her hands "Hey!" she yelled and leaped at my upraised hands to get my journal back. Thank goodness I was taller than her. Not that it mattered much, considering how hard she could hit. I shook my head, and teleported to the roof of the castle. 'Maybe now I can write in peace'

(Larxenes POV)

"That was strange" I whisper to myself. 'He normally makes some stupid remark grinning idiotically then leaves, but today… Gah! Why should I care!? He's strange anyway… But still… he looked unnerved.' I teleport up to Marluxia's room to interrogate him about it.

"Hello Larxene, what brings you here?" he asked in a polite voice. He was watering his flower garden. Yes I said flower garden, don't make fun of it, or else if his scythe didn't get you, his plants would.

"Porcupine has been acting stranger than usual recently, and I was wondering if you knew any thing about it?" I start to flip one of my daggers in the air waiting for his reply.

"Nothing though I have caught him writing in a book every now and then."

"Writing? Axel? That really is weird, even for him", I stop flipping my dagger and stare at it thinking about that book he had run off with.

"What's even stranger is that your worried about him", Marluxia said with a knowing smile. I look at him fighting a blush.

"I'm not worried, just curious is all", I say fixing him with a death glare. He just laughs and goes back to caring for his plants. Realizing he wasn't going to say any more I decide to go find Roxas and see if he knows anything about it…

(Axel's POV)

It was then I started to notice that when ever I was near her I act strange. It might be the way she acts towards me but I feel light headed and… happy? I really don't know any- more, I'm just really confused at this point. Roxas is the only one I've told at this since he's the only one of us Nobodies who remembers what a heart feels like.

June 23rd

I close my journal put my pen in my pocket. I've been writing in this book for about a month now. As I put my thoughts down in the pages I feel as if I'm starting to get closer to the truth, an understanding of why I'm like this. I don't know how long I was sitting there looking at my earlier passages I had written when a I heard a voice "Hey Axel", knowing who it is by his voice I don't even look up.

"Hey Roxas" I say somberly. My best friend sat down next to me looking out at the darkening sky.

"Anything you want to talk about?" he asked. I turn to my latest entry and give him the book and lay down on my back watching the sky turn from day to night, that eerie time of half light. Twilight. I summon a chakram and start spinning it on my index finger. "I think I've figured it out" he said. I bolt upright and look at him expectantly. He has a slight smile on his face. The smile is an understanding one. "Axel I think… you're in love"

(Larxene's POV)

"Axel I think… you're in love"

'What the hell?!' I thought. I did not expect that. I followed Roxas knowing he would lead me to Axel and hopefully unravel this mystery, but all I get are more questions than answers and the main questions ones being who and why? "What?" Hearing Axel's reply snapped me back to reality and, I went back to eavesdropping.

"Your in love, it's written in these pages as clear as day", I started leaning on the windowsill for support. I was just underneath them hearing every thing they said. Why the hell was I feeling like this? Why do I care? This just gets more confusing, the more I listen the less I understand.

"You're not serious are you?" Axel asked quietly "Nobodies can't love if we don't have hearts"

"Axel you don't believe that at all. You've debated that fact with yourself countless times in this journal" Axel believes that nobodies have hearts? I leaned against the wall my eyes wide open not understanding a word of this.

"Heh, your right on the debate part, heck I'm still debating the fact that Nobodies have emotions at all… If what you say is true then nobodies really do have hearts somewhere in them." I sank down to the floor letting go of the windowsill and attempted to sort out this information one piece at a time. I never got that chance to even start. "Roxas if your right… do you think I should tell Larxene?" I froze. My body turned cold. His tone serious and a little… frightened?

"Do what you think is right. I will support you in what ever path you choose… Want to head in?"

"No thanks I'm going stay up here a bit and think. See you later Roxas."

"Later man" I heard a set of footsteps leave and a door close but I hardly noticed them. Only one thought went through my head over and over.

Axel might LOVE me?
