I pushed him away from me and my eyes widened. "What the hell?" I asked, my fingers touching my lips as I looked at him, trying to understand what had happened and why.

"I'm sorry, you were just so adorable." And as if the dislike towards him I showed was just an act, he came closer whispering it in my ear.

I flinched away and glared at him. "You owe me a cigarette," I stated, still glaring at him as I stood up.

Axel chuckled and reached me one. I caught sight of something that could've been my lighter so I bent down to look closer. Unfortunately, it wasn't.

"You have a cute ass," Axel said and I felt my left eye twitch.

"Axel…" I said in a low, slow and calm voice as I turned around with a smile. "Do you know where I can buy a gun?"

…

"So, now that we've sobered up, mostly you, who the hell are you? And why are you still here?" I screamed, as I stood in the middle of my deserted living room. Everyone had went home as the fire alarm mysteriously went off and soaked the guests which ended the party.

"Told you already; Axel," He stated and smirked. "And because you amuse me."

"Why are you here then?" I asked while pacing around the room.

"Um… What's his name again…? Oh yeah, Demyx! He invited me!" He said and stroked his spiky hair.

"Okay," I said, my hatred for Demyx building up. He's dead to me.

"So Roxy…" He started but I interrupted him.

"Don't call me that!" I hissed and glared at him.

"So Roxas, want to do something?" He asked and motioned with his arms.

"Um… You're not leaving?" I asked and bit my lower lip.

"No, that wouldn't be fair, now would it? It's your birthday after all and all the guests have left." He said as he started looking through my movies.

"You do realize that I wanted them to go home, right?" I asked and raised an eyebrow.

Axel looked up at me before starting to laugh. "Yeah, right," He said and grinned at me.

"Could you please lea-" I started but he interrupted me.

"Oh! I didn't get a gift for you!" Axel exclaimed and seemed devastated.

"That's okay. Can you please-" I started but he interrupted me once more.

"Wait, you lost your lighter right? Here you go!" He said and reached me his lighter.

"Thank you…" I mumbled. "Now can you please lea-" I started again and once again I was interrupted.

"Something else you'd like?" Axel asked and smiled at me.

"Yes, actually there is. Could you leave?" I asked and tried hard to not scream at him.

"I could, but no one wants to spend their birthday all alone, so I'll stay here and keep you company," Axel said.

"That's where you're wrong, I love to spend my birthday all alone so would you please leave?" I asked and forced a so polite and fake smile on that even someone as dense as Axel would see that he wasn't wanted here.

"Then why did you have a party?" Axel asked and raised an eyebrow as his smile disappeared. He had gotten the hint with my smile.

"I didn't, my friends arranged a surprise party without me knowing."

"So you always spend your birthday alone?" Axel asked, looking awfully confused.

"Yes, and I'm happy about it," I stated as I tried to get him to leave.

"But that's terrible!" Axel exclaimed. "Poor you!" He stood up, leaped forward so that he was right in front of me and leaned down so his face was in level with mine. I jerked away as I remembered what happened last time he had been that close to my face.

"No, it's perfect. A whole day all alone, doing nothing." I stated.

"But it'd be so much more fun to be with someone on a day that special!" Axel said and smiled at me.

"Not really," I mumbled.

"Really? Want to bet?" Axel said devilishly.

"What kind of bet?" I asked. I never turned down a challenge unless it was just stupid.

"I'll spend the rest of the day with you and prove to you that it can be a lot of fun to spend it with someone. If I win, you'll never spend your birthday alone again, unless together with someone is impossible, and if you win… Eh… What do you want?" He asked.

"For you to leave. Besides, my birthday ended about two hours ago. It's the fifth of July now," I stated.

"So? Is it a bet or not?" Axel asked, challenging me.

I bit my lip before muttering "It's a bet."
