The Fox and the Flame

3.but I'm a NOBODY!!!!

Axel woke up to a dark ceiling and grinned. He had dreamed about the Prank he pulled on his best friend, Chelle, which was that she had to walk around in the clothing of his choice for the entire day. The clothing of his choice was a bikini. She had the majority of the Horny older men of this castle on her tail, All Day. Literally. He grinned wider, planning never to let the incident die, and speaking aloud to no one in particular,

"Wonder how she's getting along? Hopefully, the guys had let her get a decent night's sleep, at least…." His voice was laced with concern.

"No. They didn't" A very haggard Chelle was standing at Axel's doorway, clearly waiting for him to get up. Get up he did, jumping out of bed and turning in surprise, to be met with eyes that smoldered with the intensity of a cobra. He recoiled instantly.

"Come with me." She commanded. Not even the tiniest thought of disobeying her flitted through Axel's mind. They walked into the hallway, where a certain blue-haired Nobody was lounging against a wall, book in hand. Axel looked at him questioningly, but got distracted when Chelle spoke, in a severely calmer voice.

"Dear Zexion, are you still game for witnessing my wrath?" A swift nod "And are you well aware that I will require you to spread this like wildfire, or else I burn your books?" A slightly more frantic nod. "Well, lovely. Then I can start!" She turned sharply on Axel, looking at him as if looking down her prey.

"W-what are you gonna do, Chelle?" He really did not like that gleam in her eyes.

"Revenge…" was the only word she hissed out, before pouncing on him.

Several things happened very fast.

She pounced, Axel fell, she kneeled on the floor, Axel blinked, She flipped him on her lap, and a very loud smack resonated throughout the hallway. Zexion shook his head and sighed. The people he associated with…

Chelle had a very hard look on her face as she spanked, yes you read right, spanked her best friend. Axel? Well, I think it safe to say that he was just shocked….The odd thing was, Chelle had no sexual implications behind this. She had just wanted to emasculate her friend. When she felt that that had been accomplished, she got up, leaving him to fall on the floor, and her normal expression came back.

"And remember, Zexion, spare no details."

"You are a sick, sadistic little girl. And the Organization will be full of cake."

"Excuse me?"

"Xaldin is baking again." And with that, the Nobody with the nose to rival a bloodhound's walked off. Chelle extended a hand to help Axel up.

"I don't apologize for what I did, but I did it because you humiliated me first. I have no gripe against you now, and I will revert to my normal cheerful self. Just letting you know!" She kissed his cheek, and flounced off, with a cry of "now, to woo the Water Boy! This is going to be a good day!"

Axel stood there, in his black silk pajama pants, for a full five minutes. His mind was still catching up on what happened. Finally, he said "Damn" and he thought, "Boy, you do NOT piss that girl off. The spanking might've been nice, if she wasn't so damn rough. She really is an amazing girl. Wonder why she kissed me again?" He had started to walk towards his room, not a far trip, but he was still slightly dazed "It felt nice to know that that kiss was actually planned and meant for me…..She's amazing, to no degree…..Man do I love that girl…"

He had halted in his tracks, dropping the cloak he was about to put on.

"I did not just think that! Come on, that is so….so….so lame! Pull yourself together, Axel, you'll be digging your own grave with words like that. Now I do not love her. She is my best friend. That's all! Got it memorized??" The use of his own catch phrase took him out of his stupor, and he laughed out loud.

"Right! Me, a Nobody, who hasn't had a heart in God knows how long, fell in love with the woman who could've been a Queen in her past life…..Or current life….Tcch, whatever." And he continued getting dressed, chuckling to himself all the way.

Chelle had disappeared into Demyx's room some time ago, so he didn't even have the satisfaction of glaring at her when everybody else in the Organization whispered "Pansy…." at him. Even Marluxia. Which just killed him. Zexion had clearly done his job.

Axel was in his room, staring at the ceiling, not being able to stand his castle-mates one momet longer. Chelle flounced in, looking happy as a clam and sexy as a parakeet. She sang a note, the flumped on his bed, with him still laying in it.

"And what were you doing, Queen of all bitches Ever?" he deadpanned at her, not acknowledging her weight at all.

"Making progress!" She waved her arms about in the arm in a flashy manner.

"And that means in normal talk?" He asked, almost dreading the answer. He was beginning to hate Demyx quite a bit as of late.

"Karaoke. I sang, and he played." Her voice was over-flowing with bubbliness.

"Hooooow fascinating." He showed little to no interest.

"Well, your allowed to be pissed at me, but what's your gripe with Demyx, lazy ass?"

"I have nothing against Demyx. And my ass is just lazy cause it's so fucking sore from the beating you gave it. I suggest an apology." He joked, half-serious.

"Aww, poor baby. Would you like me to kiss it better?" She puckered her lips, and that did it for Axel. He was in a full-fledged laughing fit. She grinned, assuming that his anger at her evaporated once he rolled off his bed, and started clutching the carpet, and crying tears of joy. She was proud to say that he was her best friend. She smiled serenely as he nearly threw up because he was laughing so hard.

"Hey, Axel?" She asked, still smiling.

"A-ha! A ha ha ha ha…." sniff " ahhh….Yeah, Chelle?" he had just gotten over the laughing fit.

"I love you." She said in all seriousness, and grinned when he pointed a shaking finger at her scream something along the lines of… "GAHHH! BUT!! BUT!! NOBODY!! NO HEART!!!! YOU CANT LOVE ME! YOU'RE A NOBODY!!!!!!!"

She laughed at him, got up, and left, leaving him trying to work out the impossibility of her statement.

(I have no idea, guys. This just…came out. But if I love Axel mad, then I love Axel freaking out more. Reviews make me smile, and Ciao.)
