Roxas woke up with a sleeping Sora next to him, wishing it was Axel. Roxas gently shook Sora awake and the brunette's eyes fluttered open. Sora sat up and stretched.

"I slept over here?" Sora asked, rubbing the sleep from his tired eyes.

"Yeah, you looked tired so I asked my parents to just let you stay over."

"Oh well, are you ready for today?" Sora asked with a smile now plastered on his face.

"What's happening today?" Roxas asked, not catching Sora's drift.

"Today, we commence the plan of 'Axel falls deeply in love with Roxas and they live together forever plan'."

"Uh, when did this plan… get planned?"

"In my sleep, I had a dream and I think we can make it reality. Though, I think I should go home and get myself together first."

"Alright, I'll do the same and maybe we should meet at the park." Sora nodded and got up to leave, Roxas got up too: he took his shower, brushed his teeth, ate breakfast, and left to go meet Sora at Villiers Park.


Roxas sat on the green grass, pulling it out and throwing it into the wind, for about a good fifteen minutes before Sora actually showed up. Roxas waved at him as he ran across the grass, almost falling a few times.

"About time you showed up." Roxas complained and threw his last handful of grass into the wind, watching as the pieces spread apart and flew away.

"Sorry, I was… busy but anyway, onto the plan." Sora sat down next to Roxas. "My dream, I came up with a plan and Axel fell in love with you."

"That's great, but what happened?"

"Uh, well you see, I forgot when I took a small nap after getting home." Sora scratched the back of his head, and Roxas took a long sigh.

"You don't remember anything?" Sora nodded and Roxas fell back into the grass, letting out a frustrated grunt.

"But hey, we can still make it work." Sora pulled out a magazine from his back pocket and opened it. Roxas looked at the front cover; the title read 'Seventeen'.

"Uh, what is that?" Roxas asked.

"You've never read Seventeen Magazine? What are you eighty?"

"No, I've just never read a magazine." Sora gasped and Roxas sat up and snatched the magazine from him, he read the page Sora had been on and it told of Ten Top ways to make a guy fall for you. "No way am I using a magazine to make Axel fall for me."

"Come on, it actually works!" Sora protested.

"How would you know? Have you tried it?" Roxas say a hint of a blush on Sora's face.

"I have actually and I'm now in a great relationship." Sora smiled, making Roxas think it could work.

"Okay, so then what do we do first?"

"What does it say to do first?" Sora grabbed the magazine from Roxas and scanned the page. "Alright, so first you need to make him recognize you."

"Well, I've already done that by stalking him and him actually catching me do it."

"Then we'll move on to the next step," Sora continued not asking questions, "You need to establish a friendship with him."

"I can barely talk to him."

"That's why you need to learn how, let's practice." Sora put the glossy magazine down and sat up straight in front of Roxas. "Now, pretend I'm Axel."

"What?"

"Pretend I'm Axel and talk to me."

"What do I say?"

"Whatever you want, now go!"

"Uh, hey Axel." Roxas looked up to the clouds for some help but all they did was float by, slightly mocking him.

"Hey Roxy." Sora said, deepening his voice and pouting his lips. Roxas burst out laughing and fell back onto the grass again, holding his stomach from the pain. "Hey, don't laugh, this is serious."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Roxas said, collecting himself and sitting up straight again. "Okay, let's try again."

"Hey Roxas, what's up?" Sora said, still deepening his voice but to a more believable tone this time.

"Not much, what about you Axel?" Roxas was starting to actually picture the redhead there, and his mind started going haywire.

"Just bored and lonely, want to hang out?" Roxas stumbled with his words, until Sora leaned forward and placed his elbow on Roxas's shoulder, getting closer to Roxas so that they were only inches apart.

"Uh, where would we – go?" Roxas was now fully picturing Axel in front of him, he tried hard to contain himself but one inch closer and he'd attack.

"Anywhere you want, I'll follow you Roxas." Sora smirked and Roxas lost it, pushing Sora away and shaking his head clear.

"No, No, No, I can't do it without being… affected." Sora got up from being pushed to the ground and shook his head to get the grass off.

"That's why we need to work on it, you were doing good but don't think too much about what you really want. Try to focus on just being friends."

"How? I don't want to just be friends; I want so much more Sora." Sora got up on his knees and gripped Roxas's shoulders, staring into his eyes sincerely.

"Focus Roxas, do you want him or not?" Roxas nodded his head slowly. "Then you need to concentrate on what I'm telling you, only think of him as a friend and not a lover."

"It's easy to say, but it's hard to actually do it. Sora how did you do it? You said you did it before." Sora let go of Roxas's shoulders and sighed.

"Well, it wasn't easy; it was as hard as it is for you. I had to practice and struggle with keeping my cool but in the end it turned out he liked me all along."

"So your saying, you did it all for nothing?"

"No, I'm saying I did it all for love and I got it." Sora smiled and got up, outstretching his hand out to help Roxas up. "So, unless you don't want him to love you, it's time we tried harder."

"Alright, I'm willing to do all that it takes." Roxas wiped some grass off his butt and began to leave the park with Sora.

"In that case: we go back to your house, read more of this magazine, and test it out with a few practice runs with the real deal." Roxas stopped in his tracks and Sora bumped into him.

"You mean… actually talk to A-Axel?"

"Well, yeah, you have to make contact with the person you want to be with."

"So soon?"

"It's either now or never, and most people prefer now." Roxas sighed as Sora pushed him out the park and walked ahead as Roxas trudged behind.


"Just go!" Sora pushed Roxas forward, toward what he wanted and craved.

"Wait!"

"Now what?" Sora was getting frustrated with Roxas, he had been putting off talking to Axel for the past three hours and Sora wanted to go home eventually.

"What did I have to do again?"

"Just talk, become friends and learn more about each other." Sora said before giving Roxas one final push and locking himself in Roxas's room. I know, I'm just gonna screw this up but I should try for Sora… and myself. Roxas used all his courage to move his legs toward Axel, but he seemed every step he took forward Axel also took a step. It took awhile before Roxas was behind the man.

"Uh, Axel." Roxas whispered and the man turned from what he was cleaning to face Roxas, he smiled.

"Hey Roxas, is there something you need?" You.

"Oh, I just wanted to talk to you. I never really get a chance to talk to people who work here."

"Alright, then what is there you want to talk about?" You.

"Well, how long have you worked here?" Axel put down his rag, which he was using to clean, and leaned against the wall, crossing his arms across his chest.

"I'd say about a few months now."

"Really? Do you enjoy working here?" I can't believe he's been here for months and I just noticed a few weeks ago.

"Not really, cleaning isn't my thing but I need the money."

"What will you do when you get enough money?"

"I'll probably buy a place of my own and leave here." Roxas's heart dropped, just the thought of Axel leaving made him sad even though he wouldn't be leaving anytime soon.

"I see, well besides that, do you have any hobbies?"

"Fire and music, I actually play some guitar."

"Fire?"

"I like the look of it, and it's so pretty." Like you.

"I see."

"Enough about me, what about you?" Roxas blinked, he hadn't been expecting that.

"Me? Well, I don't really have any hobbies; I just do what I want to do at a certain moment." Axel looked absolutely appalled.

"You don't have a hobby? I think you're the first person I've ever met who doesn't have one."

"Yeah, I guess it's weird huh?" Axel leaned off the wall and walked to Roxas, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"I probably shouldn't but let's go somewhere tomorrow; I promise you'll have a new hobby when we get back." Axel smirked and picked up his rag again. "Now, I need to get back to work; we'll talk later." Roxas stood there, baffled, and unable to move. Sora practically sprinted toward Roxas and waved a hand in front of his face before pushing him back to his room and slamming the door behind them.

"What happened Roxas?" Sora shook the teen, but he didn't wake from his trance. "Roxas!" Sora pushed Roxas, who luckily fell back onto his bed.

"W-What?" Roxas said, blinking out of his daze. Sora leaped onto the bed next to him, and smiled.

"Well, what happened between you two?"

"He told me he would take me out somewhere tomorrow, because I didn't have a hobby." Sora's smile grew into a grin and he was now flinging himself back onto Roxas's bed.

"So, you two are going on a date already?"

"It's not a date; he's just going to show me a place."

"Sure, it's not. Oh, do you want me and my boyfriend to tail you guys and make sure everything is okay?"

"Well, I don't know… is it okay to do that?"

"If you think you might need help keeping yourself together…."

"Then yes, a million times yes!" Roxas begged and Sora sat back up, nodding his head and getting up.

"Then I'll see you tomorrow, I need to get home and you need to get some rest so you're pumped for your date." Sora skipped out the room, he was so happy and bubbly.

"It's not a date!" Roxas yelled as Sora left and his mother came in.

"What's not a date dear?" Roxas looked around the room as he pondered an answer.

"Uh, the year of 1 B.C; I tried to tell him it isn't a real date." Rin seemed to believe it, so she left not asking any further questions.

"Oh, we're having dinner soon so come on down." She yelled as she was walking down the hallway. Roxas ate dinner, took a shower, brushed his teeth, and put on his pajamas as he went to bed.

"Tomorrow will be perfect, especially since I'll be with you." Roxas whispered before falling into an vast sleep.
