One of Those Days
4. Are We Done Yet?
Axel stuffed his hands and trailed after Demyx and Roxas in complete and utter boredom as they browsed the shelves at the unnecessarily large craft store at the outdoor mall. He didn't see what his two friends saw in the place. Roxas wasn't even into the artsy type of stuff and he was still looking around in amazement! Demyx he could understand. The musically inclined blond has always loved arts and crafts, especially the kind involving glue. Axel could remember how one time in kindergarten Demyx put glue in everyone's seats--including his own. He personally saw to it that Demyx would never forget about that blunder.
"Hey, Axel! You've gotta come see this! It's so cool!"
Axel sighed. He very much doubted that the whatever-it-was was going to be very "cool". Now if it had something to do with fire or explosions, then he was totally game for that. He shuffled over to where his friends were standing. "Alright, what's so interesting?" he asked.
"Check it out!" Demyx exclaimed, pointing to the stuff on the shelves. "It's everything you need to make your own candles! There's the wax and the wick and special paints and even the melting pots! And this is an instruction booklet on how to make drip candles! Isn't this neat?"
"They have scents too," Roxas remarked, picking up a deep red bottle to take a quick sniff. He smirked and held it out towards Axel while Demyx began loading up the cart with various candle-making supplies. "It's cinnamon, your favorite."
Okay, so Axel had to admit that candle making stuff was kind of cool. But only a little bit. Even if it did have to do with fire.
