Banshee: As promised, here's part 2~!

Disclaimer: I only own my OC and the plot.

I spent the rest of the day following Jasper's advice, all the while avoiding my homicidal girlfriend, who was currently in her room, no doubt using my picture as target practice.

After a few hours, the preparations were complete. All I had to do now was get Nikki.

I headed over to her room, carrying a special surprise behind my back. Coincidentally, as I was looking for her, I ran into her in the hallway. She looked as pissed off as ever.

"Oh, Nikki. What a coincidence." I said cheerfully. "I was looking for you."

"Fuck off, you heartless, uncaring, unfeeling, anniversary-forgetting fucking bastard.." She growled.

"Wow, somebody's crabby…" I muttered. "Maybe this will cheer you up."

She was surprised when I took a bouquet of flowers out from behind my back."

"… I… I-Is that…?" Nikki stuttered. "Are these…?"

"Blue orchids. That's your favorite flower, right?"

"Uh… Y-Yeah…" She took the bouquet and stared at it. Shaking her head, she said, "B-But it's going to take more than a bouquet of flowers to make me forgive you!"

"How about this?" I asked, leaning in for a kiss.

…

- Nikki's POV -

…

I was shocked when I was suddenly given the longest, most passionate kiss I've ever had in my life. In the time I spent being angry at him, I forgot what a good kisser Axel is..

"How about now?" He asked after he pulled away.

"Still not enough." I said.

The smile he gave me made me nervous.

"I was hoping you'd say that."

He grabbed me and covered my eyes, and right afterwards I felt the air grow cold and recognized it as a portal. Where he took me, I had no idea. I found out when I heard him say "Surprise~" and I could suddenly see after he removed his hand from my eyes.

We were at the Altar of Naught; the place where Xemnas goes to 'speak' to Kingdom Hearts. There was a table almost directly beneath the big heart-shaped moon, with everything set up on it, including candles, plates, and a vase with some orchids in it. A radio was off to the side.

"W-What is this?" I asked.

"It's your dream date." Axel said.

"Is this what you've been doing all day? Is this…?"

"Your present? You bet it is."

"Huh…" I took the bracelet out of my pocket. "… and all I got you was a stupid little bracelet…"

"Aw, babe, you didn't have to get me anything…" Axel said. Then he muttered, "But some sex would have been nice.."

"I heard that." I growled.

Axel went and pressed a button on the radio, and I suddenly heard the song from the prom playing.

"Is that… the song that was playing when we…?"

"Yup."

I hugged him. "Oh, Axel… You didn't forget after all…"

"Of course not." He said. "I'm not a total idiot."

"I'm so sorry I was so nasty today.."

"Eh, don't sweat it, babe. You still up for some angry sex?"

Smack.

"I'll take that as a 'no..'"

"Ooh, is that chicken pot pie? I asked, after noticing the food on the table. "Mm, my favorite~!"

We sat down at the table, and I excitedly cut out a piece of the pie and took a bite. After chewing on it for a few seconds, I noticed it tasted kind of funny.

"Hey, what's up?" Axel asked, noticing the look on my face. "Is something wrong with it?"

"It tastes like shit.." I deadpanned.

"It does?" He said. "I could have sworn I followed the recipe exactly… oh shit…"

"What?" I asked.

"The recipe said 'onion.'"

"Yeah? So?"

"I put in garlic…"

"You dumbass.." I deadpanned again. "Leave it to you to fuck up a chicken pot pie… I bet you're the kind of person that burns a pop tart."

"Hey, at least I tried." He muttered. "Since I ruined dinner, you want to just move on to dessert? I made you a cake."

"You baked me a cake?" I asked.

Axel nodded and a cake appeared out of a little portal. It was chocolate. Taking a knife, I carved out a piece, and I found vanilla ice cream inside.

"Ooh, an ice cream filling~!" I said excitedly. "How did you know I like my cakes like that?"

He shrugged and said with a grin, "Oh, I just had a feeling.."

I took a bite.

"So…how is it?"

"It's delicious~!"

Between the two of us, we polished off the cake in a few minutes. After that, Axel asked me to dance with him. I accepted, and we danced under Kingdom Hearts as our song played on the radio. The moon was bright and romantic, and the fact it was shaped like a heart added to the romantic atmosphere.

"I love you.." He said.

"I love you too."

"Happy anniversary."

Our moment was suddenly interrupted when Demyx and Roxas appeared.

"Hey guys~!" Demyx chirped.

"Uh.. Hey." I said. "What are you doing up here?"

"I kept telling him what you guys needed to be alone, but he insisted on seeing how you were doing." Roxas said.

"Oh, how… sweet.."

"Okay, they're fine, let's go now, Demyx." Roxas said, trying to shoo the nocturne away.

"I have one thing to say first." Demyx said. "Hey Axel. Jasper called and wanted to know how your date is going."

I arched an eyebrow. "Why would he ask that?"

"Well, you see, Axel totally forgot your anniversary today, so he asked Jasper for help. In fact, everything here was Jasper's idea."

"Demyx, shut up!" Roxas hissed, covering the blonde's mouth.

But it was too late. The damage was done.

"So you really did forget!" I growled glaring at my boyfriend, who smiled sheepishly. "I knew it!"

"Okay, I admit it, I forgot." He admitted. "I asked Jasper for help because I felt bad about disappointing you and I wanted to make it up to you, but I wasn't sure how. If I didn't ask for help, I probably would have screwed up and made everything worse.."

I looked at Roxas. "Is that true?"

Roxas nodded. "Yeah."

"You went through all this trouble just to make it up to me?"

Axel nodded.

I sighed. "Okay.. Normally I would beat the ever-loving shit out of you for lying to me and pretending you had this whole thing planned when you really just forgot, but because you went through all that trouble just to make it up to me, and because I love you, I'll just settle for a smack in the head and forgive you."

"I can live with that." Axel said.

He leaned forward to accept the hit as I balled my hand into a fist, and he yelped when I hit him in the head with exceptional force.

"Now I forgive you."

"Did you have to hit me so hard?" The redhead exclaimed.

"I said I'd smack you in the head." I said. "I never said how hard it was going to be."

"… So does that mean your date went well?" Demyx asked.

He cringed when he saw the looks we were giving him.

"..W-What are you looking at me like that for?"

"Axel?" I asked.

"I'm way ahead of you, babe." Axel said, cracking his knuckles. "I'll hold him, you punch."

Demyx screamed and ran back inside the castle, with Axel and I chasing after him.
