YAY! So, does anyone think this chapter reminds them of the death of L in Death Note?
I didn't mean for it to, but it turned out like that. xD

SONG: The Fray - How To Save A Life

DISCLAIMER: *snores* How many times am I gonna type this today? So... this story's strictly fan-written, and I, the author, do not own Kingdom Hearts or the characters in it. :3

You're a lie…

Those words lingered in his mind for the entire night. He hadn't slept a wink because of it the night before. He just couldn't seem to find a meaning or a reason for those three simple words. He shook his head and growled, throwing his hands into the air, then getting up and going to the window, pulling the red curtains open to look outside. Dark, as usual. Raining, as usual.

Beautiful day.

He only saw one thing out of the ordinary, being a young blond girl, walking in the rain. At the slightest glimpse of this, Axel was already on his way outside to find out what the hell would possess Naminé to go out in the rain.

"Naminé!?" Axel called from the shade under the castle's roof. Naminé seemed to hear him and turn towards him, her face showed a look of confusion. What was he doing outside in the rain?
"What!?" She asked, trying to yell over the rain.
"What are you doing outside in the ra-"
"What!?!" She called again. Axel groaned and walked out into the rain, then up to Naminé as she walked towards him as well.

"You must be insane to be out in the storm like this, Naminé." He said. Naminé blinked and looked up at him, her blue eyes piercing his emeralds.
"No, I'm just enjoying the weather." She said softly, looking up at him. He sighed, shaking his head and putting his hands on her shoulders, pulling her out of the rain and into the castle.

He grumbled as he pulled her up the flights of stairs, her looking at him with that confused look the entire time. Making it to his room, he opened the door and pulled her in, closing the door behind them. It was cold in there. He must have kept the air conditioner on in order to keep his body at a comfortable temperature.

"Here." He said, handing her a towel. She looked at it and smiled, taking it and nodding as she used it to dry off her hair. The redhead seemed to have a weird look on his face and he turned to look the other direction.
"Nani..?" She squeaked quietly, observing Axel's quick motion of shaking his head. He had actually realized that she was blonde enough to go out in the rain with a white dress on.
"Here, you're probably freezing. This is why I gave you my coat." He said with slight annoyance in his voice, handing her the thick, dark red blanket from his bed, then sitting down on the edge of the bed. He watched her as she wrapped the blanket around her quickly, as if she was turning into a huge icicle.
"It's so cold in here…" She said.
"Yeah…" He said, lying down on his bed without even showing the slightest sign of being cold. "I'm used to it."

Naminé stood in the middle of the room, holding the towel while the blanket was wrapped around her snugly. Axel glanced up at her, quirking an eyebrow.

"Well?"
"I'm sorry." She said, shaking her head as she looked to the floor.
"Right." Axel said, turning on his side to face the wall. After a while he grew tired; he had no sleep the night before because--…

"Naminé… What did you mean by saying that I'm a lie?" He asked.
"Hm?" She blinked, then shrugging. "I figured that you were just being nice to me because you wanted to win the game." She said.
"Right…" He said shortly, understanding completely now. Soon enough, he felt a strange bouncing on his mattress. Turning his head, he saw that Naminé was crawling onto his bed next to him.

"What… are you doing?" He asked.
"I'm… not used to having a bed." She said, "Just a hard, little cot."
Axel understood what she was doing now and nodded quietly, facing the wall still. Naminé lied down on the large, black bed next to him, hogging his dark red blanket. She moved close to him and threw part of the blanket over him. He was tired.

"Good night, Axel." Naminé said, secretly thinking.
"I've got this in the bag."

"Night, Naminé." He said, still turned away from her. He could feel her small figure closely snuggled to his back for warmth.

It was kind of 'cute', to him…
