Characters: Axel and Marluxia
1. Elephant
Axel couldn't understand why Marluxia had reacted so badly to that burned topiary – it was only an elephant, after all.
2. Homework
Axel had done his homework; he knew, that out of all of the plants in Marluxia's garden, his favourites were pink peonies.
3. Impulse
Axel was impulsive, which had turned out to be a good thing for the both of them.
4. Pants
Marluxia had found out the hard way that Axel liked parading around his room without pants, and he wasn't sure if he regretted it or not.
5. Beginning
In the beginning Axel had been devoted, if a bit needy, but now that Roxas had arrived, they spent less and less time together.
6. Illness
Being a Nobody was like having a critical illness: nothing could heal it, but sometimes there were small bits of relief – like lust, or love.
7. Clown
Sometimes the markings on Axel's face made him look like a clown – othertimes, he just looked sad.
8. Water
Marluxia wasn't afraid of losing Axel to Demyx, no matter how much the Nocture flirted – Axel just didn't like water.
9. Dense
Axel could be incredibly dense sometimes – didn't he realise that Roxas was slowly pulling them apart?
10. Ice
The castle was like ice in the winter – luckily, Axel was warm no matter the weather, and didn't mind sharing that heat.
11. Bed
Xemnas made it clear when he found out about them that beds were a novelty – it didn't matter though, the floor – or anything else really – was just as versatile.
12. Physics
The Castle that Never Was defied all laws of physics, something that was very good for experimenting – and they did a lot of that.
13. Hair
Axel took great care of his hair, and Marluxia (despite rumours to the contrary) just… didn't.
14. Time
Castle Oblivion was dangerous for all of them – Marluxia especially – and they knew their time was running out.
15. Fish
Fish lived in water, which made aquariums frightful things for Axel, but Marluxia liked watching them swim, so he dealt with it.
16. Pink
Axel hated pink – or he had, until he met Marluxia.
17. Rabbit
Marluxia didn't think it at all funny when Axel tried to dress him up as the Easter bunny, claiming that his hair went with the costume.
18. Rhyme
Marluxia didn't rhyme with anything, which made writing poetry about him difficult – not that Axel was any good at writing poetry.
19. Words
Words hurt sometimes, even if they weren't supposed to be able to feel hurt – and Axel telling him he wanted to spend more time with Roxas hurt far more than he'd ever admit.
20. Tree
Axel loved climbing trees in Marluxia's garden and hiding among their branches – unfortunately, fire and wood didn't get along.
21. Jacket
He'd only been teasing Marluxia when he hid his jacket – Larxene wasn't supposed to return from her mission so soon.
22. Glasses
Whenever Marluxia was mad at Axel, he splashed him with glasses of water – Axel was careful not to anger him often.
23. Darkness
The darkness closing in on Marluxia told him that yes, death could come to one who didn't exist.
24. Bound
Experimenting was fun, but sometimes it was hard to trust Axel – he had some bizarre ideas.
25. Chair
Axel smiled whenever he looked at that particular chair afterward – especially when the Superior sat on it.
26. Dork
Axel just looked like a dork trying to use Marluxia's scythe, even though he didn't think he looked much better trying to balance Axel's chakrams.
27. Force
They were both very strong, forceful people, and sometimes Marluxia wondered who would win if it came down to them fighting.
28. Curtain
The windows in the Castle that Never Was didn't have curtains covering them – luckily, their rooms were high in one of the towers.
29. Window
Sometimes, Marluxia wished he could push Roxas out of a window… and get away with it.
30. Door
Shower and bathroom doors were useless when they could portal, Marluxia quickly discovered.
31. Storm
Axel's moods were like storms in the Pride Lands – completely unpredictable.
32. Sweet
Sometimes, Axel was incredibly sweet, despite his brutal nature…
33. Sour
…Other times, he just made their time together sour.
34. Socks
Axel had pink socks… he'd thought Axel hated pink.
35. Ice Cream
Axel was always going out for ice cream with Roxas, though he'd never once invited Marluxia along.
36. Flower
Marluxia could be forceful and very manly, but most of the time he just acted like a pansy.
37. Poke
Why did the roses in Marluxia's garden have to poke him whenever he tried to pick one?
38. Purple
Though he always claimed otherwise, Axel loved Marluxia's purple flowers.
39. Peas
Marluxia had a small patch of peas growing in his garden, and he knew he hadn't planted them just as well as he knew that they were Axel's favourite vegetable.
40. Snow
Snow never stayed around Axel long – which Marluxia was thankful for, because he hated snow.
41. Doughnut
Axel wouldn't touch doughnuts, claiming they were fattening, but it didn't stop him when Marluxia got covered in icing.
42. Vehicle
Since he'd started regarding them as "toys," Axel hadn't been allowed to touch the Gummi Ship controls.
43. Scarf
When he wasn't contemplating pushing Roxas from windows, Marluxia wondered if it was possible to strangle Nobodies with scarves.
44. Blanket
Axel didn't sleep with blankets, Marluxia did – it made snuggling difficult.
45. Squiggle
Axel couldn't figure out what the squiggly creatures were under Vexen's microscope, and Marluxia found it too amusing to tell him.
46. Pyjamas
Marluxia's pyjamas were pink and fluffy… his slippers were worse.
47. Fluid
Axel's fire danced fluidly through the air, and Marluxia with his sakura petals simply couldn't compete.
48. Rice
People threw rice at weddings, covering the bride and groom… Marluxia sometimes wished for the experience.
49. Cheese
Giving flowers was cheesy and meaningless, and Axel had told Marluxia this – Marluxia knew that Axel liked getting gifts and gave him a bouquet anyway.
50. End
He knew without talking to Axel that their relationship was over – Roxas was too much of a challenge for Axel to let him get away.
