Love

Axel looked at the beauty before him with a longing expression. If only he could get the attention he so desperately craved. But alas, he was destined to be alone and never get the love he so longed for in return.

A romance that was destined to be one sided from the beginning. It drove Axel to the brink of insanity at times, but he always managed to stay sane. He had to stay strong… if not for his love then for his two little buddies. They needed him and he wouldn't let them down just because he was too foolish to let go and move on.

"Is he writing about his love again?" Roxas asked with a sigh, hearing someone talking down the hall.

"Yea," Xion said, rolling her eyes.

Axel thought they didn't know of his obsession, but they did. They knew all too well. Everyone did. It wasn't like he tried very hard to hide it. "It's kind of creepy if you ask me," Larxene said, overhearing the topic of conversation.

"Yea, I don't even know what he sees in it," Demyx said.

"Of course YOU don't," Xigbar said, chuckling slightly.

"You think he's going to be alright?" Saix asked, not that he actually cared.

"I'd start making arrangements for a padded room to be added here," Larxene snickered.

Soon enough a cry of pain rang out. "Why! Why can't you return my feelings!"

Roxas and Xion sighed, grabbing an extinguisher and bucket filled with water as they walked towards the source of the yelling. "I hope he didn't set a whole room on fire again," Xion muttered.

"No… Axel's always talking about how he likes smaller women," Roxas said. "A whole room of fire would equate to a very large person."

"Or a lot of small women in the same room," Xion pointed out.

"…Demyx, would you mind coming with us? Just in case Axel ended up trying to create himself a harem this time."
