"Roxas?"

The blond blinked, looking into his room where he had brought Axel. His eyes widened and he clamped a hand over his mouth, trying not to laugh. The red head had on his mother's shirt (Roxas was much too short...actually, everyone in the house was) and a pair of her sweat pants. He had girly hips, so they fit him rather well, if only a little short.

Axel pouted, arms crossed. "They're too small."

"You're too tall."

"I am not!"

The blond smiled widely, shaking his head. "Yeah you are. Anyway, if you want clothes that fit you, we'll have to shop for them."

Axel's bright green eyes blinked. "...Shop?"

"Yeah, um..." How does one explain shopping? "It's where all these stores are and you buy things. They have pretty much everything there, food, clothes, accessories, things like that."

"Interesting..." Axel smiled. "There wasn't anything like that at home. We made everything."

"How do you do that?" Roxas asked.

The Angel shrugged. "It's not something I can explain, but...I could show you sometime. I just need to know what you want and what it looks like."

"Alright..."

"Where is he?! Where's Aku??"

"Aku's missing?!"

"He's the last one of the-!"

"Hush."

Silence fell over the dark room. Their leader, Head Angel of Justice, scanned the room. He gave a brief frown. "Aku has fled with only a single wing. My son was attacked after admitting he loved him. Now, since he is the last of Ai Tenchi's, we shall have him returned and forgive him. The Prince needs a partner."

"But..." Demyx, a Water Angel, looked around before titling his head to the side. "If Aku doesn't love him, then...why are we forcing them together?"

Their leader, Xemnas, glowered. "Because we have no choice. We're running out of time."

"I'll go get him." Larxene muttered, looking over her nails. "Me and Namine know him better than you guys, so we have an idea of how to track him. Axel's always had a thing for humans."

Some hissed at the mention of his Dusk Name. Demyx glared at the only girl at the table. "If you go, you'll just rape him using the excuse of 'we're running out of time'! We can't trust you!"

Xemnas frowned. "Demmikku has a point...We'll send Namine and Sora."

Larxene scuffed. "If you can rip the kid away from Riku."

"Um, Roxas?"

Said blond turned, seeing Axel look around the place nervously. The red head stayed right by him, noticeably self-conscience of himself with all the other people. Roxas thought it was cute, actually. To think someone as pretty as Axel being self-conscience was an odd thing.

"I don't think I like it here."

"Don't worry, Axel." Roxas smiled. "We'll just get you some clothes and be on our way. Nothing to worry about."

He didn't seem so sure. "But...people are staring."

Roxas scuffed. "That's because they've never seen you before. Twilight Town is pretty small, it's almost impossible not to know someone. If anyone asks, you're my online friend who decided to visit, okay?"

Axel nodded. "O...kay." Pause. "Roxas, what's an online?"

Kairi sighed. He hated waiting. Especially for Olette and Fuu, since both girls took forever with everything they did. Fuu had a bad self-esteem because she lost her eye in a fight and Olette...well, she was just a perfectionist. The little brunette bitch.

"Kairi!"

He turned, glaring. "It's about time! I already had two guys ask me for my number before I told them I was a dude!"

Olette smiled. "Sorry. Anyway, know who we saw on our way over here??"

Here being the Food Court. Kairi raised an eyebrow. He was somewhat curious, unless it was that bastard Hayner. He and Olette used to date before he began harassing the red head about his cross-dressing. Olette had a firm belief of 'hoes over bros' so she dumped him.

"Who?"

Fuu smiled. "Roxas."

He perked right up. Roxas was in their class, and he was one of the cutest guys in school. Humming, Kairi wondered if they should go talk to him, but Olette continued talking.

"And there's this really cute guy with him!!" the brunette smiled, getting a dreamy look on her face. "He's really tall and has red hair and green eyes and..."

"Girl hips." Fuu added, getting a smile from Kairi.

"Really?"

"Yeah. Like...Yuna hips. It's weird."

Olette stuck her tongue out. "You're just jealous because you're flat!"

Axel frowned, feeling guilty with all the money Roxas was spending on him. The blond human had explained what money was and what it was used for, and now he realized how much he had already used up. Quite a few pairs of clothes (it made him realize he was really living with Roxas), food, shoes, accessories, and a necklace Axel liked.

"Roxas..." he whined, frowning. "You don't have to spend so much on me."

Roxas snorted. "Axel, you have no money. Besides, my parents are loaded with money. They could give it away on weekends and still have enough to pay for a trip to...Radiant Garden. And trust me, that's a lot."

The red head pouted. "I still don't like it."

"Relax. If it makes you feel better, I'll let you pay me back or something."

They were on their way out when Axel stopped, frowning. When Roxas asked what was wrong, he merely looked behind them. A girl with blond hair and bright blue eyes was watching them, sitting next to the fountain. She frowned and shook her head before disappearing.

Axel's eyes widened. "T-they sent Namine after me?!"

Roxas frowned. "Who's Namine?"

"She's a Memory Angel. She...can wipe memories and heal people." The Angel sighed, running a hand through his hair. "She's a good friend of mine, one of the one's who aren't affected by...well, me. If she thinks I like this place, she might not tell anyone, but if they sent someone else with her..."

"What'll happen if you go back?" Roxas whispered, tense.

Axel shook his head. "They'll rip my wing out...a-and I might have to marry the Prince. I can't, Roxas. I can't go back."

"Then you won't." the blond said easily. "Like you said, Namine's your friend. Maybe she can distract her partner long enough to keep you hidden." He sighed before smiling up at Axel. "So, relax. Besides," he blushed. "I like having you here."
