The day passed by in a daze, Roxas could not help but eye a certain red-head during his classes. He had no idea why, except for maybe the incident at lunch. "Haha!" Laughter from a cocky junior echoed throughout the hallway. Roxas had his back pressed up against the cold metal of the lined up lockers, surrounded by three built-up, tall, masculine juniors. "So, have anything to say before we wipe the floor with ya'?" Roxas opened his mouth to reply, but someone had taken the luxury of snapping back for him. "Nothing, except, stay away from him."

There was a sharpness in the mystery persons voice, his figure obscured by the shadows silohetteing him. 'That voice...' The three just chuckled, hysteric with laughter. "Wha-ha-ha! Really now? Like you'd stand a chance against the three of us!" He reached over, effortlessly lifting Roxas up off the floor and slamming his fragile body against the lockers. Roxas grunted in pain, rolling over like flimzy paper. "I told you to leave him alone!" The man growled at the other, charging into the center of the group, doing a twisting kick that knocked the three off their feet. Roxas's eye-lids closed after that. 'Someone saved me...' After yelps of pain escaped the tough guys' lips, Roxas heard scurring footsteps travel farther and farther away. Roxas opened his eyes slightly to see a spiky, red-haired boy. 'Axel...' Axel picked Roxas up bridal-style, taking him to the nurse's office. Roxas unintentionally buried his face in Axel's jacket, making Axel smile.

Roxas sat tensly in his seat, an intense gaze burning holes into Axel. 'I can't believe I had to have him save me...though...' Roxas blushed, thinking of how he took comfort in Axel's arms. It was five minutes until the bell would ring, the impatient tip taping of pencils, and nervous, bouncing legs grew ever more. 'Bing, bing, bing!' Roxas gathered his things, making his way down the corridor towards the main exit/entrance, a 'flame-head' awaiting him. A smirk was plastered on the red-head's face. "Hey Roxy." Roxas's eyes widened. "Where's Sora and Riku?" Axel ruffled his hair, thinking about where those two could be. "Well they did say something about finishing up a project, I think?" Roxas just mouthed an 'oh'. "Guess you just have me to walk with today."

The two walked in silence for a long time, awkwardness lingering in the air. Roxas glanced at him every now and then. 'I guess I should tell him thank you...for earlier...' "Um you know Axel...um...thank you...I mean, for earlier..." Axel was suprised that Roxas was thanking him for something, the blonde was blushing feverishly. 'Aww, he's so cute...' "Hey Roxy...can I get a thank you present?" The blonde raised an eyebrow. "But I don't have anything to..." Roxas trailed off as Axel leaned closer into him, their lips brushing together, his lips were suprisly warm...seeing that Roxas wasn't pushing him away, he pressed his fiery lips harder onto Roxas's. After a few seconds he pulled away. "I'll take that as a thank you for now." Axel's lips formed a smirk, non-chalantly saying, "I'll see you tomorrow Roxy." The smirking red-head left a blushing blonde with his thoughts. All the blonde could think was, 'Oh. my. god. I think I liked that! Nooo!'
