7 ways to say I love you
Chapter 1: Je T'aime
"So, just tell him! It's been, like, years!"
"But," Axel started, "he's my best friend."
"Axel. He's your best friend."
"And he's a guy!"
"Oh honey. Don't start that now, pussy boy – you've been pining after him for HOW LONG?"
"I dunno Larx...I don't know."
"Well, you'd better be quick," said Larxene, "Get there before someone else does."
She was right, as Axel turned to see his best friend conversing with a shy girl, an obvious blush painted on his face. She had long blonde hair and a tiny white dress on that didn't leave much to the imagination. Eventually they said their goodbyes and with a tiny wave she was off.
"So who was that, Roxas?"
"No-one."
"What?"
"Leave me alone, Axel. It wasn't anybody."
Slightly hurt at being pushed away, Axel only pushed back with more force. He waggled his eyebrows in what many call 'a suggestive manner'.
"OooOOoooh, Roxy, you've got a girlfrieeend!" Roxas snorted at his winking and slapped him lightly.
"Shut up, Ax," his blush deepening.
"Haha, lucky you..." he said, trying to squash down the sharp pain that was the truth.

He'd spent the last twenty minutes of the lesson looking up 'Roxas' in the French dictionaries. It wasn't there the first time, and it wasn't there the 45th time either. But he tried again anyway. What else was there to do?
"Get there before someone else does,"
Larxene's word echoed in his mind. Just the thought of someone else, someone taking Roxas away, was enough to make Axel feel physically sick. It was fear. Just terrified that if someone took Roxas away, he wouldn't have anything else to live for.
But he couldn't do it! Who could go up their best friend and just confess a whole load of stupid FEELINGS? It was easier to do it to a complete stranger than someone you actually knew. And liked. A LOT.
He wouldn't like him back. No. Of course he wouldn't. Why would he?
So yes. He'd just keep it a secret forever. That's right.
"You think you could live with that, honey?"
That afternoon, Roxas found a scrawled note in his locker.
