A/N: I hope you enjoyed the first ever chapter of 'Sail into my Heart'. I really hope you enjoy this chapter too, as I enjoyed writing it very much ^.^

Sail into my heart

"Who's Axel?" Kairi asked me, her brown eyes looking up curiously.

"You'll find out in the story" I mumbled tiredly "if you'd let me tell it..." Aqua shot me a death glare. Ok, that was a bad move.

"Anyway, on with the story..." I started explaining, they had no idea that inside I was already crying from my sad memories...

11th April 1912

Our Second Meeting

I decided to see Axel that day, despite my mother and father's worries of me being gay, Axel was the first friend I made aboard Titanic. I wasn't going to ignore him just because of some stupid thought, I'm not gay, and that's the end of it.

"Roxas?" my mother whispered, I looked up at her across the table, "You haven't touched your breakfast, is there something wrong with your eggs?" I looked at my poached eggs, the look of them made me sick.

"No mother, there's nothing wrong with them, I'm just not hungry" I replied quietly, my father looked at me and was about to give a lecture, but my mother waved her hand in the air, gesturing him not too. Silence evolved our private promenade deck, apart from the sound of the waves bashing against the body of the ship.

"Well isn't this breakfast delicious" Cloud smiled, desperately trying to start up a conversation.

"Yes, Yes" Everyone chorused, all except my father, who looked at me like I was an insect on his coat, or a rat running in the streets.

"Thank you for breakfast, may I go and get dressed now?" I asked, my father nodded reluctantly, I smiled and went into my bedroom. I sighed loudly and began to get undressed, I was thankful that my father was no longer staring at me; I was finally on my own.

"He's a homo-sexual Elizabeth, I know it! I can see the devil in his eyes. That boy is a failure!" My father shouted, I heard a plate break and more shouting.

"George! Stop this at once, who are we to say if he is a homosexual or not? It doesn't matter; because he's marrying Naminé isn't he? So stop this nonsense!" My mother snapped. I opened the door and peeped out to see my parents fighting on the promenade deck, I decided to make a run for it. I slammed the door and ran through the empty corridors; I was going to look for Axel, yes. He would listen to me.

As I came to the last floor, I knocked on every door, hoping that Axel would be the one answering. After knocking on dozens of doors, a red-haired woman answered the door.

"I apologise Miss, but I was looking for a young man named Axel?" I asked out of breath, she smiled warmly and called for Axel, he came to door dressed in the same type of clothes he was wearing yesterday. He was wearing a pair of black suspenders and a white long sleeved top.

He grinned widely when he saw me.

"Hey Roxas" Axel greeted me smiling; I returned the smile as we shook hands.

"Hi, I'm sorry to disturb you Axel, but I just needed to talk to you, may we talk on the boat deck?" I asked kindly but desperately.

"Urm..." He looked up to his mother, who smiled and nodded, Axel grinned "Yeah that's fine, c'mon, follow me" Axel led me through a number of corridors and up the stairs, trying to avoid bumping into people. I soon recognised the corridors of First class, and tried to not be seen by friends of my father. I knew I was going to be in trouble when I go back to our room, considering as I ran out of the room without permission.

"Actually Axel, could we go somewhere...more private?" I asked, keeping my voice low.

"Yeah sure Roxas, I'll take you to the 3rd class deck yeah?" He offered, raising his eyebrow, I think he knew why I wanted to go somewhere else. I nodded happily, knowing that as soon as I reached the deck I would be able to breath.

As we approached the deck, an aroma of fresh air and sea water filled my nostrils. This would be the first time I'd been outside since yesterday, when we only went outside for a couple of minutes. I looked over the barrier into the deep ocean below; dolphins swam below as an occasional glimpse of a few of them jumping in and out of the water.

"The dolphins look beautiful don't they?" Axel asked from behind me, I nodded enthusiastically as they kept on jumping.

"Don't know how they do it..." Axel mumbled quietly, not expecting me to hear.

"What do you mean?" I asked confused, Axel smiled, pleased that I heard.

"I mean, its strange how they swim in such cold oceans, even though the suns shining, it doesn't mean the waters any warmer. It's strange how they put up with it isn't it?" Axel explained, looking at me for an answer.

"Yes it is, but I find it wonderful how they put up with it" I smiled, "I fell into the sea once" Axel stared at me shocked, "I was going fishing with my father in a boat, we were going out to 'celebrate' my brother's engagement. I was reeling in a really big fish, but I fell in..." I sighed.

"The water must have been freezing!" Axel whispered quietly.

"Yeah it was, the water felt like knives all over my body." I sighed again," Anyway, I wanted to speak to you. What does the word homo-sexual mean to you Axel?" I asked him, I noticed how he didn't move at the word, or even look at me, he just looked... normal.

"It means nothing, homo-sexuals are just like us. They breath, they eat and they drink. They like men, what's wrong with that? Just because they can't have children doesn't mean that they're not the same." Axel frowned, "Why?"

I smiled, I knew Axel was right, there was nothing wrong with being a homo-sexual, but it doesn't mean I am one...

"No reason, no reason at all" I smiled at Axel, and grinned wider as he returned it warmly.

"Thanks Axel," I said gratefully.

"For what? He asked, Axel smiled at the dolphins once more.

"For being a good friend, and for being there when I needed you" I looked at him, I saw a twinkle in his eye when he smiled at me, a twinkle that meant more than friendship...
