Chapter 2

Axel's POV

Roxas is so cute. It's also pretty funny when he splashes me, because I'm practically a foot taller then him. And I can tell he likes me. A lot.

After about an hour of splahing, I told him something.

"Hey Roxas." I said.

"Ya?" he replied.

"Let's go back to my house to get some money, and then I'll take you out to eat."

Roxas was beaming with joy. I knew he liked me. I couldn't help but smile back.

Then he asked me an iffy question.

"Hey, Axel. Are we like, boyfriend and boyfriend now?"

It took me about ten seconds to answer that. I could see him getting sad, so I tried to answer him quickly.

"Well, I'd have to get your number first, right?" I answered, showing him a big toothy grin.

He smiled back, "I'll just come over to your place tomorrow? Then we can have another date?"

Wow? Date!? This is a date? Well, I do like this kid a lot. I've liked him ever since he moved to Twilight Town two years ago, when he was 14. But I don't know him that well. But it would make sense to go on dates to get to know him, right?

"Uh, sure! How about you come over tomorrow at noon? And maybe we can come back to the beach, so bring your trunks." I told him. Then we held hands and walked back to my house. For not officially being together, we sure touched each other a lot.

Roxas' POV

In about five minutes, we got to Axel's house.

On the way there, we talked a lot.

I asked him questions. And I got answers.

His favorite color is red. His favorite number is 8, but his lucky number is 13. When he said that, we both laughed our heads off.

When we got to the house, it took him about 2 minutes to find his wallet. He must know where he keeps it, because if his wallet got lost in a house that big, it would take him at least an hour to find.

I wonder when he'll start letting me come with him around the house. I wonder if he likes me, or if he's just sympathizing because of the huge gash in my hand?

Axel's POV

While I was looking for my wallet, I felt kind of bad. Maybe I should have let Roxas come with me. It would have been nice. I don't want to send him mix signals.

When I was done looking, I jumped down the staircase, dashing to Roxas.

"Found it!" I said triumphantly, holding up the fat clump of leather. It really was a clump. My wallet is so old.

Roxas smiled.

"So, where are we gonna eat?" he asked.

It took me a minute to think about it. I really didn't have a place in mind. I just wanted to be with my baby.

"You pick, Rox." I told him.

It took him a minute to think about it.

"How about Marios? I'm kinda in the mood for pizza."

"But let's take the car. I don't feel like walking." I told him. He nodded.

We walked outside and into the garage. I opened it up, and then we got into my vintage green Mustang.
