So here is my very first entry in the Davy Jones's Locker Series :DD It's called 'Thank You' and it's based on the song 'Thank You' by Dido. SO go YouTube it and read this after you listen to the song. Okay? Okay!

Axel's POV

His eyes. Those eyes. Blue as the sea and as bright as the moon. All I want to do is thank him. That's it.

* * *

My damn alarm was blaring hard and causing a fresh migraine to rip through my head. I growled evilly under my blankets and emerged into the bitter, morning air. Today was just not my day... The shower ran out of hot water, my head was killing me, and rain was coming down mercilessly. I was dressed nicely in my monkey suit, really spiky, fire-red hair slicked back, and my briefcase was dangling heavily from my hand. I sipped my tea and read the newspaper, not actually reading it, but glancing at a few words here and there.

Fuck. My tea was not hot anymore and I could feel a wave of depression knock me over. Why did I even get up today? I was so tired and my brain was throbbing under intense pressure. The small window in my apartment showed that in fact, the vicious rain was pouring down even harder. All I could see was gray clouds and hazy fog. I glanced up, almost in tears, to see his face on my wall – my best friend's face. His blue eyes were wide and happy, his smile was brimming and true, his shaggy blonde hair covered his face – almost hiding our secret, and he was resting against my body, contempt with the situation that the camera caught us in.

The picture. His frozen laugh, his flushed skin, his utter joy... It all reminded me that it - life - wasn't so bad.

I was smacked back against then world with another rip of my fucking head ache. I shouldn't have drank so much last night... All that beer... My head brought me to tears and I blinked them away before swallowing the pain. I got up and put my mug in the sink; I had to get to work... The bills wouldn't pay themselves. I had enough money to be able to call in sick... but my law firm was working on a serious case and I had to be there. It was amazing to be so young and have a nice income... But it wasn't worth it without him.

Almost sprinting, I made it to the bus stop – 5 minutes late. I hissed a color of cuss words under my breath and checked my watch. I had half an hour before I needed to be at work. Debating my options, I just decided to hail a taxi and deal with the traffic. I climbed in the yellow car and paid the driver in advance. Inching ahead in the congested traffic, I leaned against the window, rubbing my temples and trying to keep from crying. The gruff man spoke in a friendly voice, "Rough morning?"

I laughed lightly and gave him an unsteady smile. You have know idea.

Finally, we reached my office and I hurried through the doors, trying to make up time. I was already 20 minutes late, and I didn't to get fired. "There's Axel," One of the receptionists whispered under her breath to another intern, "And he's late again,"

I slowed down, allowing my antagonizing migraine to catch up with me. The intern heard my growl of pain and whispered right back, "Yeah, totally. Though, I'm pretty sure he's not gonna be able to last the entire day," I scurried away, finally grateful of my awkward, verbose legs, yet I was biting back burning tears.

Luckily, they postponed the meeting and I had a few minutes to regain my thoughts. My first action was to pop a few aspirins to kill this ass of a head ache. My phone buzzed and I dry-swallowed the two drugs before answering, "Yes, Kairi?" Kairi was my assistant and a dedicated one at that.

"Axel, you have a private call waiting," She spoke distractedly, probably fixing any errors I made in my papers. I really loved her – She was one of my best friends outside of work.

"Is it important?" I still was massaging my temples, impatiently awaiting the drugs to kick in.

"Oh, yes. Here, I'll connect you," I waited and there was a click before a new voice spoke, "Hello?"

I recognized that voice anywhere, "Oh my God!! Hi, how are you? Is everything alright?"

He laughed his beautiful laugh and I soaked up the sound of his voice, "Everything's good... Just on a lunch break..." His time was 4 hours ahead.

"Actually, I'm glad you called. I just wanted to-"

"Axel!!" My partner, Marluxia, rapped on my door, "Let's go!! You, me, and Larxene need to go over the case and speak with the clients. Vexen wants to go over everything one last time, too," Vexen was the founder and the boss of our law firm, Castle Oblivion Law.

"Alright," I sighed and focused back to my phone call, "Hey, let me call you later. Something came up and... I'll talk to you later. I love you,"

"Okay... I love you, too. Don't work too hard, okay? See you soon," We said bye and I hung up the phone before joining Marluxia and Larxene in the conference room with Vexen. Just by hearing his voice, my day already improved greatly.

* * *

I was sitting in one of the leather office chairs, barely paying attention to the case at hand. I didn't even get to say thank-you to him on the phone... That day – our last day together – was one of the best days of my life... In fact, it was the best day of my life. Being with him was... The best part of my life.

The day was in the middle of summer, before he was moving. He came over for some pizza and to watch a few movies. And it was also going to be the night I proposed. Once the pizza showed up, I already started with the drinking. He, on the other hand, was not a drinker. He settled on tea, which is why I was so hooked on it, too. Anyway, I was already tipsy when the pizza showed up and it only got worse. I remember kissing him so tenderly... Hugging him so softly... And fucking his brains out.

After the whole show and sex, I whispered in his ear if he would marry me. And he said yes. Just being with him and having him to myself was good enough... I loved him... I still do love him. I would do anything for him. And I just wanted to thank him for being there 100%.

* * *

"Going home?" Kairi asked as I passed by her slowly.

"Yeah," I rubbed my eyes and yawned, "I'm too tired to concentrate on this case,"

"Okay," She uncrossed her legs and typed on her computer, "Good idea. A fresh head will help you think better. Get some sleep,"

"Thanks," I cracked my knuckles and leaned against her desk, "But I need to call him. I just... Need to thank him,"

She immediately knew who I was talking about. She was the only soul I've ever told about him, "For?"

"Just... Being there for me. And waiting patiently. It must kill him that he has to wait so long for us to make this marriage thing official," I looked down and Kairi rubbed me on the back.

"Chill," She said, "I am positive he loves you and he would wait forever for you,"

"Thank you," I smiled at her blue eyes, "I'm hungry... So I'm just gonna go home, eat, and sleep,"

She paused for a minute before responding, "Wait, isn't your birthday this weekend?"

"Guhhh," I whined, "Don't remind me,"

"Well, I got you a present and I wanted to be sure that it was this weekend,"

"Aww," I smiled, "Thanks. But you didn't have to get me anything. I mean, I'm not getting me anything,"

She shrugged and laughed, "Please. I assure you that you'll love it. Actually, it should be at your apartment now. I sent it a few hours ago. I'd give it in person, but it was..."

"Last minute?"

"No, just too heavy to carry around," She gave me a wink and sent me on my way, "Happy almost-Birthday, Axel!! How old are you gonna be?"

"None of your damn business!!" I smiled and left through the doors and down to the street. Of course, it was raining hard and I had no umbrella. Naturally, I missed the bus, too. I figured that it would be faster to walk than deal with traffic again, so I hurried down the sidewalk, toward my apartment.

I went up in the elevator and quickly reached my floor. I was dripping wet due to the evil rain and I just wanted a bath, Chinese food, and sleep. I stuck my key in the lock and pushed through my door, sopping wet. Home at last.

Then a towel is being tossed at me.

And all I see is him.

Him.

My fiancé.

"Oh my..." My mouth hung wide and all I could see was his short, adorable frame, waiting to be kissed, "...It's you..."

He laughed and ran into my arms, "It's me,"

"How did you-"

"Happy Birthday," He blushed sheepishly, " I wanted to surprise you... Kairi helped me out a bit..."

"I owe her. Big time." I couldn't find the right words to say after that, so I just let my lips press against his. Our mouths moved in synch and I peacefully sucked his lower lip with a sultry tenderness.

"I love you," He whispered in my ear, since we eventually moved to the couch and he could finally reach.

"And I wanted to thank you," I rubbed circles between his shoulder blades, lulling him deeper into sleep.

"For?" His voice was groggy, and ready to pass out.

"For giving me the best day of my life,"

He sniffled and buried his face in my chest, which was reduced down to my bare skin, "Axel,"

"Roxas,"

Aaaaannnnndddddd – Cut!! Great scene, everybody!! ((: So, I feel that I rushed the ending a tad bit... But, whatever. I like it. Did you listen to the song? Please, go do it. I'm pretty sure each one of you have heard it at least once before.

Anyway, someone in my family is a moron. It's fucking snowing and the air conditioning is on. So while I go hunt down the dumb ass who wants me to freeze to death, read, review, worship. Like always.

Hmmph, on a lighter note, expect this whole Davy Jones's Locker thing to grow and grow and grow. And... yeah... that's just about it. Okay?

I love you all if you review. ((:

Love,

Sam~~~ :33
