It was a bright and shining morning when Axel stepped out onto his balcony. It had been almost two months since Roxas had arrived, and things for Axel had never been the same. It was almost as if something was pulling at his chest. Almost like he had a heart. But he knew that it was impossible. Or was it?

"Nice day huh," Roxas said as he leaned in the doorway to Axels room.

"Yeah, I was just about to get my mission from Saix. You want to come along?"

"Sure, I need to do some stuff first and then Ill meet you down there," Roxas said stepping inside the room now. Axel wasn't really sure how to react. It was that feeling again. The feeling in his chest that he always got when he was around Roxas. He needed to find a way to get away from Roxas till he could figure out what he was thinking.

"Ok, fine with me," Axel said walking quickly past Roxas out the room. Practically running down the castle halls, Axel ran into Zexion carrying a large stack of books filled with loads of papers back to his room.

"Axel, watch where you're going next time! I really need to get this report done for Saix on that new world," he shouted after Axel. Axel didn't pay any mind to him though. He wanted to get on his mission, and away from Roxas. Sure they were friends, but the feeling was becoming more frequent than before. It was basically anytime he thought about Roxas, let alone talked to him. Finally after quite a few corners, and several flights of stairs Axel reached Saix.

This time, Axel was sent to Halloween Town to take out a giant heartless. Axel was so relieved to hear that Roxas had been assigned to Wonderland with Demyx to collect hearts. To Axel, this meant that he had time to think. Walking along to find out where the heartless was hiding, he almost ran into a pole thinking about it. Turning about as red as his hair, Axel went on.

Before he knew it he was in a fierce battle with the heartless. Having too much on his mind, he got knocked down several times, but in the end he focused on the pattern that it was using. Finally he defeated it. Moving on, he started to explore, which was his way of staling going to the tower to have ice cream with Roxas. Last thing he wanted to do was think about him.

Sitting in his room, Axel couldn't push Roxas out of his mind. In fact, that was all he could think about. He staled as long as he could in Halloween Town, but it wasn't long enough. He had spent nearly an hour at the tower with Roxas. The longest hour of his life. He just wanted to disappear and not feel like this anymore.

"He's my friend," Axel said out loud, and only my friend. This isn't right, why though? Why is it that I feel like this?."

After a while, he looked over at his alarm clock on his nightstand. Reading 8:45 he got up, and started to walk down the hall, accidentally bumping into Demyx on the way. Their lips about met, which made both men blush bright red. Axel got up leaving Demyx on the floor dazed, he passed Zexion hard at work in his room. He figured Zexion had left the door open for Demyx to come and go as he pleased. Sadly for Zexion, that also opened the doorway for Marluxia.

Ignoring this Axel went down to the main hall, and sat down.

Axel started to play cards with Luxord, lost several times, while Demyx came in and started to play his sitar. Then began to play strip poker when Roxas entered. Wishing that Roxas would just walk past them to go talk to someone else in the room, Axel didn't notice that Xigbar, Xaldin, and Marluxia had started to sit down to join. Sitting there, Axel just focused on the game until Roxas walked up to play next round.

All together they played about fifteen rounds. Obviously Luxord won all fifteen, and in a pile in the middle of the table was Marluxias boots, Xaldins pants, Axels cloak and boots, Xigbars eye patch, and Roxas cloak. Trying not to stare, Axel picked up his stuff and walked out of the room. When he was about halfway up the first flight of stairs, he heard footsteps and Roxas calling after him to wait up. He just kept on walking wondering if he should turn around and wait, or keep on going as if he never heard him. Finally as he reached the top he turned around to find Roxas dashing up the stairs after him.

"Hey, I was yelling for you. Didn't you hear me? Well, that's beside the point. You want to hang out tonight," Roxas asked out of breath. Waiting for a reply Roxas started to put his cloak back on. "Well, aren't you going to put your shoes and cloak back on? Or are you going to go back to your room shirtless?"

At this Axel looked down, and realized that he hadn't put his clothes back on. Blushing, he put his cloak back on and sat down on the stairs and put his boots back on, while watching Roxas put on his cloak out of the corner of his eye. After a few seconds he looked back at his boots, and started to blush even more. At this point he was hoping that Roxas hadn't noticed him blushing, but he knew that it was hopeless. Standing up he patted Roxas soft blond hair and answered, "Sure, I don't see why not."
