"Axel."

The little blond boy struggled to lift the heavy duffel bag into the trunk of the large red truck.

"Axel?"

The bag started to fall and the red head began to move towards the boy but his brunette brother was next to him and caught the bag before it fell.

"AXEL!"

Axel's body was suddenly propelled foreword and he stared up at Demyx from the ground. His eyes glared up at him and he quickly got off the sidewalk and began to chase the dirty blond.

"What the hell! I was just trying to tell you it's time to go!" Demyx yelled as he escaped into an open door to a second car. The two cars decided Sora and Roxas' house would be the best place to meet before they began their journey to the beach. Axel drove one car and Riku drove the other.

Riku and Sora decided to drive in the other car with the dirty blond and slate haired boys were going to be sitting in the back. Their names were Demyx and Zexion. Demyx was a little hyper and couldn't believe Roxas didn't know his name yet. Zexion was nice and Roxas had been sitting with him on the bus ever since the 'Seifer incident'. Nothing has happened to him since then.

Axel and Roxas would be riding in the front seats and a man introduced as Marluxia and his girlfriend Namine would be sitting in the back. Namine was sweet and wiped some smudge off of Roxas' cheek, surprising him. Marluxia was also nice and his hair smelled like roses when he gave Roxas a hug in greeting.

Roxas moved to get in the front seat and Axel quickly joined him after giving Demyx a punch in the arm. The ride soon commenced. It was to take three hours to get to Destiny Beach and Roxas had a feeling it was going to take a little longer than that. Their car pulled out and followed Riku's car onto the highway. Axel's phone began to ring and he threw it over to Roxas, who gave him an incredulous look.

"Can't answer; I'm driving," Axel responded with a smirk.

Roxas picked up the device and put it on speaker phone. The car was suddenly bombarded by Demyx's loud voice.

"I have to pee!" Demyx yelled at an octave that Roxas knew he could never accomplish.

"Well what do you want us to do about it?" Axel asked as he watched the car in front of them put on their blinkers.

"We're going to the store!" Demyx said happily.

Axel also put on his blinkers and the two cars headed to the store.

xXx

"Oh. Hell. No." Zexion said as he placed his feet firmly on the ground.

"But Zexy! You know you want to come in with us! You will be all alone in the car! Who know how long it will take for us to come back," Demyx begged as he got on his knees in the parking lot.

"Get off the ground," Zexion sighed and headed for the rest of the group. The sliding doors to Wal-Mart opened and welcomed the rambunctious group. Demyx immediately scrambled off to the bathroom, dragging Sora with him. Riku and Zexion soon followed them like lost puppies. The group was already down four members. Namine tugged Marluxia over to the gardening section and talked about how lovely a new plant would be.

"So, just you and me, eh?" Axel said. Roxas nodded and the two began to walk around the store. They headed to the college room supplies and decided to try out some chairs. The two were soon kicked out when Axel decided to try out the wheels and send himself flying down the aisle and into a worker. She yelled at them to go make a mess somewhere else in the store and the two walked over to electronics.

Wal-Mart was incredibly quiet at the time. There were a few people here and there, but nothing like a crowd. A voice suddenly yelled throughout the store.

"I FINISHED GOING PEE PEE!"

The same octave repeated once more. Axel and Roxas looked at each other with wide eyes and immediately burst out laughing. Roxas once again heard the man's fulfilling laughter, making his airy laugh all the more quiet. The two soon settled down and went to the front of the store. They came across the candy section on the way there and grabbed some. Roxas got lollipops and Axel grabbed some gum. The two brought their sugary items to the counter and paid for them.

They headed out to the car where Marluxia and Namine were waiting for Axel to unlock the doors. Axel handed the bag to Roxas and dug in the tight pockets of his even tighter jeans. He came up with a set of car keys, a penny, and an old gum wrapper. He pocketed the penny, threw the keys to Marluxia, and spit out the piece of gum he was currently chewing into the wrapper. Marluxia got in the front seat of the car and started it up. Namine sat in Roxas' previous seat. Axel and Roxas shrugged at the seat change and headed into their new sitting space.

Axel leaned across the center console and turned on the radio. Turning on a station with songs that were in the now, Evanescence soon came on. Turning the volume down to a low decibel, they all listened to the music. Namine began to sing softly, her voice carrying a wondrous tone.

Roxas finally had a chance to look at the two new people. Marluxia's pink hair came down to just below his shoulders and had a natural curl to it. He wore a white hoodie and nice fitting jeans that weren't too tight and stayed on his hips without the need of a belt. Namine had straight blonde hair that she always liked to sweep over one shoulder. She wore a plain white dress that went down to her knees and her bathing suit underneath, the straps being held tight around her neck.

Roxas' observing was suddenly interrupted when a person landed on the car's hood. Blond hair flew everywhere when the person attempted to scramble off the car as a brunette one joined him on the hood. The two rolled around and soon, Demyx escaped from Sora's clutches and ran to the other car. Sora sat on the hood glaring at the blond with a playful smile on his face. Roxas heard the red head next to him open the door and he suddenly saw his brother get pulled off of the hood.

"I swear to god, if there is a single fucking scratch or dent on this car, you are wiping it off with your ass, till I can't see it anymore!" Axel yelled.

Somehow, Sora escaped his grip and ran for cover, joining Demyx in the car. Axel immediately began to check for all of the above. When he saw nothing there, he breathed a sigh of relief and got in the car, just as Zexion and Riku came out of the superstore. The two got in their car and the car ride commenced once more.

Roxas fell asleep a couple times and woke up at random intervals. At one point in time, he saw Axel looking down at him; somehow he had fallen into the redhead's lap. He soon fell asleep once more due to the lull of the car's motor. When the car finally pulled to a stop, Roxas' eyes shot open and looked at Axel. He was leaning against the door with his elbow on the armrest and his head in his hand. His eyes were closed and his mouth was open with a soft breeze of air coming from it. Roxas wondered what he should do when the door suddenly opened. Axel began to fall but was stopped by the seatbelt that he was surprisingly wearing. Roxas quickly sat up and smiled at Sora's antics as he saw his brother giggling and running away. Axel struggled with the restriction around his waist and somehow managed to rip it off. He jumped out of the car and ran at the brunette. He was then promptly tripped by a dirty blond and Axel glared daggers at the two.

While the threesome continued their fun, Roxas got out of the car and decided to stick close to Namine. She called him over and gave him a cooler and a chair to carry and to follow Marluxia, who held the umbrella and a bunch of beach towels. They walked down to the beach and found a nice flat area, at least 20 feet away from the water. Making sure the time now was just past high tide, they decided it was the best place. They began to set things up.

When the umbrella was finally up and the towels laid out, everyone began to get ready. The previous threesome were already wrestling in the water. Demyx and Sora had already stripped down to their suits; Axel kept his shirt on. Namine, Riku, Zexion, and Marluxia all walked to the water and began to join in the fun. Zexion took out a floating bed and laid on it. He took out a book and began to read. Demyx splashed him once but quickly stopped when he saw his boyfriend glare at him. He pouted and began to chase after Sora but found that he was too busy kissing Riku.

After the first couple days of school, Riku and Sora quickly found their feelings for one another and soon became a couple. Everyone had seen it coming after the first day the two had stuck together like glue.

Demyx once again grumped around and began to look for Axel. He looked from side to side, but he was nowhere to be found. Roxas also began to look with him and was startled when he felt two arms encircle his waist and lift him up. He quickly wrapped his arms around Axel's head and smiled at Axel's smile. Their eyes locked and it took Axel a couple of minutes to remember what he was going to do.

"Hey Roxy, where's your bathing suit?"

Roxas shook his head and looked for some way to tell Axel. He suddenly had the urge to talk to the redhead. He didn't care what his voice sounded like; he just wanted Axel to know. He opened his mouth and tried to say the word, but nothing came out. Axel watched Roxas' moves and mistook it for Roxas trying to get away from him. He figured the cute boy might not like being this close to him

Axel had developed feelings for the blond haired boy as quickly as Sora and Riku had. He had yet to tell the blond boy, or anyone else for that matter, about his secret crush.

He let the boy down and Roxas kneeled down in the sand. He took a finger and drew a single word clearly through the colorful ground.

'Scars.'

Axel looked at Roxas for a moment. A slight blush was shown clearly on his face as he looked at the ground like usual. Axel laughed at the situation and Roxas gave him a horrified look. He watched the red head stop laughing, but keep a tender smile on his face as he lifted up his own shirt.

A huge burn mark ran across his stomach and wrapped around part of his back. The sweet, tender smile never left his mouth as Roxas slowly got off the ground. He slowly reached his hand out and began to touch the burn. Axel flinched slightly and Roxas backed up a bit, but Axel beckoned him back, telling him it was alright. Roxas went and touched the slightly mutated skin, and yet, he loved every piece of it. He looked up at Axel to question the whereabouts of whence the scar came from.

Axel had learned Roxas' movements well and could usually tell what he was thinking or wanted to do. Right now, he had a sense of loving, and wanted to question him.

"When I was a little kid, my mom failed to keep her lighter away from me. Long story, short, I winded up burning myself pretty bad and we lost our living room for a while."

Roxas' mouth opened in a silent O.

Roxas decided that if he was going to show anyone, it might as well be Axel. He hesitantly took off his shirt and dropped it on the ground. Axel looked at Roxas' body and saw he had a couple scars here and there. One ran across his stomach, just like his own burn. He wanted to touch it like his own scar. They were connected in this weird sort of way. He slowly got closer, but his hand didn't reach towards Roxas' stomach, it went for his face. He cupped the quiet blonds' face and lifted the downcast eyes to meet his own. He leaned in a bit to test the situation. To Axel's surprise, Roxas closed his eyes and leaned forward some more. Axel decided to go for it and kissed the blond. They held their position till they felt their cheeks grow to an equally high temperature.

They held their lips close to one another and Roxas leaned his forehead to touch Axel's. Their breathing was heavy from the sudden lack of air, but the two ignored it and just stared into each other's eyes.

The moment was interrupted when a caterwaul of hoots and whistling reached the two boys' ears. Both their faces turned a bright cherry red and they smiled meekly at the group. Axel suddenly picked Roxas up and brought him into the water. The two played and splashed each other for what seemed like hours. When the sun finally began to set, everyone started to help pack up.

Roxas watched as Axel took up the end of the line of people with carrying the large umbrella. Roxas was left to stand alone on the beach and he turned towards the vermillion horizon. The red and purples all mixed to create a beautiful color and Roxas loved the way he felt. It warmed him up on the inside. A pair of arms draped themselves across his shoulders and a head laid itself on top of his head. Roxas soaked in Axel's musky scent and turned around into his stomach. He snuggled against the warm fabric and looked up into the emerald eyes. They looked at him with an admiring brilliance and all seemed well for Roxas.

He had never felt so loved before in his life. Everything felt perfect. He slowly began to feel himself succumb to the darkness of sleep and felt the feeling of being lifted. Knowing he was being held in Axel's arms, he let himself fall asleep.

Axel felt Roxas' body become faint and saw the boy's eyes close with tiredness. He gently lifted the boy up, bridal-style, and carried him off toward the cars. He got in the back of his car and motioned for Marluxia to drive. Namine helped position Roxas so his head was lying comfortably on Axel's lap once more. The car ride was silent and soon Namine also joined in on the sleeping. Axel handed Marluxia a soft blanket from the back and helped him move Namine so she was leaning on it. All this was done while driving. Marluxia was always praised for his amazing driving abilities.

The two cars stopped at Sora and Roxas' house. Sora was somehow still wide awake and bounced over to where Axel was carrying a still sleeping Roxas out of the car.

"He fell asleep?"

Axel gave him a questioning look before answering, "Yeah, why wouldn't he?"

"He barely falls asleep even when he's at home. He's usually haunted by nightmares from the Hayner Incident."

"Hayner Incident?"

Sora eyes grew wide and he tried to think of something to say before heaving a sigh and looking into Axel's eyes, "He'll tell you if you ask him."

Axel nodded and decided he would ask the sleeping boy about this 'Incident' later on. For now, he had to get him up to bed. Sora opened the door for the red head and kissed Riku good night. Sora led Axel up to Roxas' room and left the two alone.

Axel kissed Roxas' head and told him to have sweet dreams. He went to leave when he felt a hand grip his sleeve. He looked down into cerulean orbs staring at him. He suddenly wondered what he was to the young boy before him. He bent down and kissed the boy's head. He then looked straight into his eyes and asked the question.

"Will you be my boyfriend?"

Roxas' eyes widened and he quickly sat up in the bed. Without a moment's hesitation, he leaped onto Axel, causing him to fall to the ground with a smiling Roxas on top.

"Does this mean yes?"

Roxas quickly nodded his head up and down in a very passionate excitement. Axel leaned in and kissed the boy before ruffling his hair and laying him down in bed. He bade him good night once more and said he would see him tomorrow.

Roxas watched his 'boyfriend' go and tucked himself into his covers. He brought the blankets up to his nose and hid his smile from the rest of the world. That night, he made the decision to learn how to talk again.
