"What's your favorite color?" Axel asked as he ate some moose tracks ice cream.

Roxas looked up from his own bowl, some ice cream dribbling down his chin. "Um… I have two, black and white."

Axel snorted. "Roxas, those are such depressing colors."

Roxas rolled his eyes. "Oh yeah what about you, what's your favorite color?"

"Red, the best color in the world." Axel said this as if it was obvious that everyone thought that red was in fact the best color in the world.

Roxas just shook his head. "What ever makes you sleep at night Axel." And then he went back to his ice cream.

Last night, after the two boys had made up, they went promptly went to be, so the second they woke up and came down to eat (ice cream for breakfast how bad of them) they started playing 20 questions. Well, they had passed 20 about ten minutes ago, so maybe it wasn't 20 questions, but still you get the basic idea.

"What is your favorite song?" Roxas asked as soon as he swallowed his mouthful of creamy goodness.

Axel thought for a while. Roxas felt his cheeks heat up as he looked at the redhead. He looked so good when he was thinking. Roxas looked down at his ice cream bowl and took another spoonful, to avert his eyes.

"Probably Dance Floor Anthem." Axel said when he was done thinking. "I love it."

Roxas smiled. "It's a good song." He pushed his bangs away from his eyes so that he could look properly at the redhead. His blue eyes looked into Axel's and he forgot what he was going to say.

Fortunately Axel, who was also a little scattered brained, blurted out "How about you, what's your favorite song?"

Roxas's cheeks got red, but this time it wasn't from the fact that his crush was sitting across from him, it was the fact that his favorite song was rather girly, and he was sure that if he said it, then Axel would know that he was gay. "Um… I'd rather not."

Axel laughed. "What, are you afraid that your song is too girly?"

Roxas's mouth dropped open. "What, can you read mind now?" He asked both shocked and slightly creeped out. But only just slightly, of course.

"Just answer the question." Axel said with a snicker which he tried his best to hide behind his hand. Roxas glared at the redhead, a chill passed through the air and the redhead picked up his napkin and waved it like a flag of surrender. Roxas stopped glaring and sighed.

"My favorite song is Thunder, by Boys like Girls." Roxas mumbled, his cheeks heating up again.

"That's a really good song Roxas." Axel said with a smile. "It was my ring tone for about a month, which is long, for me anyway."

Roxas smiled and Axel felt his heart stop. He looked so, not to be condescending at all, cute. His hair, which he had yet to brush yet, was even more wild then usual, his right side smushed to his head. His cheeks were slightly pink, and the smile just made him look like he was 5 years old again, except you know, older.

Sora sleep walked into the room and walked to the coffee pot by the refrigerator, His eyes closed. The two best friends watched him both amazed that he didn't hit anything on his way there. He simply stepped over things. The brunette twin poured himself a mug of coffee and then walked back out the room, eyes still closed.

"It's amazing that he is so hyper when he has that 3rd cup of coffee. Before that, he's a zombie." Roxas said with a shake of his head. "And it is 10:30. Wow."

Axel snickered. "It's amazing that you two are twins, you're like, nothing alike."

There was moment silence. "Hey Axel." Roxas said. "You and Demyx are here, Um… who else is in the school swap thing?"

Axel looked up from his empty bowl and turned to the blond. "Well there's me and Demyx, Zexion, and Riku, Rikku and Kairi, and of course wherever Kairi goes Namine goes."

Roxas's eyes widened. "Oh, um… well that's a lot. Your parents must be parting with them being on their own."

They went back into a quiet silence.

-

"Hey Sora!" Roxas called down the hall, Axel was sitting on the Blonds bed watching as he got ready to leave. Olette had called him earlier saying that Demyx had called the guys and were going to meet at a place called the Twilight Café. Roxas was currently in a pair of tight black skinny jeans and a black shirt, a checkered jacket on. "Where did you put the black beanie that Olette drew the face on last year, my hair is a mess!"

"When is your hair not a mess?" Sora called back. "Check under your bed."

Roxas mumbled under his breath and Axel chuckled watching as the blond got on his stomach and looked under the bed. Axel took this time to look over the blond freely. After a moment the Blond got back up, a black beanie in his hand. He pulled it over his blond spikes and Axel looked at the winking face drawn on the hat with white sharpie. The redhead chuckled.

"Nice hat." He said as he continued to laugh.

Roxas struck a pose for a moment and turned to his dresser. He grabbed a checkered belt and put it on. Before sitting next to Axel and putting on socks and shoes.

The red head was amazed at how slow the blond was at getting ready. He was done getting dressed in under 5 minutes, pulling his jeans on, a red and black stripped long sleeve shirt, and pulling on his black trench coat (Imagine the Orgy. 13 coat) before pulling on some boats, then walking in on Roxas pulling on his shirt.

Axel had been shocked and become a complete pervert as he watched the blond put on his shirt, his face as red as his hair. He shook his head to clear his thoughts and knocked on the door. Roxas had turned and to the redhead and his face became a flame. He only stuttered to him, telling him to sit on the bed.

Sora walked into the blond's room, taking him out of his thoughts. Axel looked at the brunettes outfit and laughed. His shirt was a blue shirt with a poupu fruit on it and the words 'Poupu Boy' in red letters. He was also wearing a pair of shorts and black sandals. The brunette glared at him, and so Axel snickered behind his hand.

"Ok I'm ready, are we gonna go or what?" Sora asked.

"yeah lets go…" Roxas said grabbing his iPod and stuffed it into his pocket. "Are we taking the bus or are we gonna take the skateboards and follow Axel?"

"Skateboards? You guys skateboard?" Axel asked and when the twins nodded he face palmed himself. "God I should have brought mine then."

Sora jumped. "You can use my old one!"

Axel made a weird face. So Roxas shook his head and walked to his closet pulling out a red and white skateboard. "You can use my spare." He said handing Axel the board with a smile. Axel smirked before following Sora out, tossing a sarcastic remark to Roxas over his shoulder.

-

"Roxas, Sora, Axel, over here!" Olette yelled from a booth in the corner. She was waving her arms as if to signal a plane to its entry.

Roxas rolled his eyes. "I know over there Olette, That has been our table since the eighth grade. People get turned away when they try to sit there; we're here so much that all of the employees know us by name." Roxas called to his best friend before turning to Axel and stage whispering, loud enough that everyone could hear "She's crazy you know."

Every one at the table (except Olette) laughed. Olette growled and grabbed Roxas around the neck, pulling the blond to her, and gave him a nuggie. "You are the most annoying boy in the world."

"And that's why you love me!" Roxas laughed. "Now let go Lette, before I sick Sora on you."

Olette rolled her eyes. "I'm so scared." She said sarcastically, but she let the blond go. She leaned around Roxas to look at the redhead who was sliding in next to the blond, and Sora. "Hey Axel, Hey weak ass, what's up!"

Axel saluted Olette. "Sup. Not much, though I have to tell you, I didn't think that Sora would be so bad at skateboarding."

Olette laughed at how red Sora's face got. "Oh yeah, Sora's not the best skateboarder. And by not the best, I mean he sucks. Not like Roxas."

Axel nodded. He had seen the blond ride down the sidewalks to the café had heard him laugh as he did some tricks. Axel had found himself looking over at the blonde's smile, and wondering why he never smiled like this before.

Roxas blushed and looked around the table, at all his old friends there. The first person he saw was the twins, looking gorgeous. They noticed him looking and smiled. "Hi Roxas." They said together before giggling.

Namine's hair was the same as in kindergarten; her hair was in a ponytail, falling over her right shoulder. Her eyes were big, and a bright blue, though, not as bright as his own. She was wearing white. A white hoodie on over a pair of white jeans, even her converse sneakers were white.

Kairi's red hair was longer then the last time he had seen her, when her hair had been a pixie cut, with long bangs (Kingdom hearts 1 hair style). Now her hair reached her shoulder, a black clip keeping her bangs out of her eyes, which sparkled a beautiful violet color. She had on a pink tank top, a black hoodie half zipped and a pair of black skinny jeans. Purple converse boots reached to her knees.

"Hey Namine, Kairi How are you?" Roxas asked with a smile.

"Fine." They answered together again. This had them giggling again. Roxas turned to Axel.

"Do they always do that?"

"Sure seems like it." Axel said as he ran a hand threw his hair and smiled at his sisters affectionately. Roxas smiled at the siblings. 10 years and he still was close to his sisters. The blond then moved on to see Demyx talking to…

"Zexion?" He asked. The boy looked up and Roxas was surprised to see it was in fact his friend Zexion. Zexion gave a small smile, before nodding. Roxas felt the shock go through his body. The purple haired boy looked completely different.

"Yeah, emo-ball over there is Zexion."" Roxas turned to see Riku. His hair was a longer and his eyes held something dark in them, which matched the dark outfit that he was wearing. A gray long-sleeve shirt and black jeans along with a pair of black boots; he wasn't smiling just staring off into space. "I would be surprised if I was you too."

"Don't mind Riku he's being prissy because he's staying at the same house as Kairi." Demyx said leaning across the table and patting Roxas on the hand before turning to Riku. "I told you to stop making fun of my boyfriend you loser."

Sora sprayed his soda all over Riku hearing the one word that made Olette's mouth drop and Roxas's cheeks flame up as red as Axel's hair. The three looked at the blond before Olette cried out. "Yes I have more gay friends!"

The group turned to the brunette, Roxas and Sora glaring. It had been their deal since the school found out the twins were gay, that Olette never mentioned this fact to anyone. Olette rolled her eyes at the twins before turning toward Demyx and Zexion. "So how long have you guys been going out?"

Roxas face palmed himself. "Olette it's rude to pry into peoples love lives."

"But Roxy-" Roxas glared at the girl with a fire in his eyes. "Roxas, I mean, you don't let me have any fun and-"

"Why Roxas, mi amour, it's lovely to see you."

Roxas groaned before turning slowly to voice. "What do you want Marluxia."

"You know what I want." The pink haired bully smiled and leaned on the table so as to see into Roxas's blue eyes better, ignoring how they were narrowed in annoyance, as well as the fact that Olette was glaring at him as well. "I want a date with you, a long make out session, maybe some casual sex afterwards.

"And I want you to get away from me before I have Olette call the police, again. And I'm not kidding." Roxas said in a monotone.

Marluxia laughed and just leaned a little closer to the angry boy. "You know that you love me my beautiful blond, you're just playing hard to get."

Roxas rolled his eyes at the pink haired boy's stupidity. "Yes, and that's why I got a restraining order on you, which, if you get any closer, will be broken."

Marluxia leaned back and smiled. "Very well, I shall see you again my love." And with that the Pink haired boy placed a rose on Roxas's napkin and walked out of the café.

The group turned to Roxas, who was shaking. Axel could see tears coming to his eyes, tears that he had obviously been fighting while the pink haired fiend was in the room. Olette growled and grabbed the rose, ripping away the petals and throwing them on the ground, before smashing it under her foot.

"My god, can't that stupid fucker leave you alone!" Olette hissed.

Roxas just kept shaking, a tear rolling down his cheek, much to the destiny island teen's surprise. He absent mindedly whipped it away before turning to Olette and putting his hand on her shoulder. "Why won't he leave me alone?"

Olette pet the blond on his head and whispered soothing words that the shocked group of teens couldn't hear. Sora got up and walked over to his brother and asked if he was aright.

"Who was that?" Namine asked, in a mothering tone, worried about why her friend (and brothers crush) was crying and shaking.

"Are you ok Roxas?" axel asked putting a hand on his shoulder. Roxas nodded but kept his face hidden and on Olette's shoulder. The red head wanted to know who it was that could make Roxas go from the happy mood he had been in a moment ago, to the mood he was in now.

"That was Marluxia." Olette said, answering the question that Namine had asked. "He's the guy that has been stalking Roxas since freshman year."

Roxas flinched and hid even more of his face from the group.

"That guy was stalking Roxas." Demyx said shocked.

Axel felt himself getting mad. What kind of person would do that? Stalk the blond to the point where he was scared stiff every time he saw the pink haired man. The red head patted the blond on the shoulder again before turning to look at Olette. "Why is he still following Roxas?" he asked. "I mean if you guys have a restraining order on him."

Olette looked down at Roxas, who was still hiding his face on her shoulder. "Is it ok if I tell them?"

Roxas gulped and he found himself shaking a little more but nodded.

Olette took a deep breath. "Back at the beginning of ninth grade, Marluxia and Roxas had the same gym class. Marluxia was a senior though. Still he took favor to Roxas, and asked him out every single day for half the year. Roxas kept telling him no, but Marluxia wouldn't listen. Eventually he started showing up wherever we went. We called the police on him about a dozen times, and it stopped for a while."

Roxas whimpered and more tears came to his eyes, he knew the part that happened next. He had the nightmares to prove it.

"Well One day Roxas was walking to his job at the skate mechanics shop, when Marluxia grabbed him and dragged him down the alley. Let's just say if it wasn't for Sora then something really bad would have happened."

The group was silent, taking in the story, before there were questions flaying at Roxas. He looked up and at the group. "Could we not talk about this anymore. Please."

They were silent.

-

Roxas lay on his bed in the dark that night. He was thinking about today, afraid to go to sleep knowing that he would have the nightmare. He didn't want Axel to think he was just some week little boy. Even as he fought against the heavy weight that was trying to pull him into sleep, he could feel his eyes closing and his body sinking, into the world of dreams.

Roxas walked down the road, on his way to work. Cloud said that Cid got a new shipment of skateboard helmets, which needed price stickers to be placed on and then put on a shelf in the store part. Roxas hummed a little tune.

Suddenly a flash of pink made him stop and look into the dark alley to his right. Cold fear began to invade his body. A twig snapped behind him, but before he could start running, strong hands wrapped around his waist and covered his mouth, muffling the scream that left his lips. He was carried into the darkness.

'Now now my love, you don't want to make any noise, someone will ruin our fun.' Marluxia's words were whispered into his ear. He screamed louder, feeling the pink haired mans lips on his neck.

Roxas bit the man's hand. Marluxia yelped in pain, and dropped the blond. Roxas tried to run but a hand shot out and tripped him, pulling him back.

'Help Me!' Roxas screamed tears rolling down his cheeks 'Please someone Help!'

'Roxas!" a shout sounded through the air. Except it wasn't Sora's. No it was someone else.

Marluxia's laughter sounded in his ears 'no one's gonna come help you my love. You belong with me.'

'HELP!' Roxas yelled, his voice hoarse from the screaming. Hands grabbed his wrists. 'Please help!'

"Roxas!"

Roxas woke screaming, tears running down his cheeks. He opened his eyes, expecting to see Sora, looking down on him, telling him that everything was gonna be ok. Instead, he was met by green eyes wide with worry. Roxas Looked at him for a moment before even more tears came to his eyes.

"It's okay Roxas, It's okay." The red head said as he leaned down and wrapped the blond boy up in a hug. "I'm right here, no ones going to hurt you."

That was how they stayed for a long time. Roxas crying into Axel's chest. The redhead humming a melody that the blond couldn't place. They rocked back and forth, and slowly the blond calmed down.

"I'm sorry for waking you up." Roxas said, his voice cracking horribly.

"I don't mind." The red head whispered. "I don't mind at all."

"You must think I'm such a baby, getting all worked up over a nightmare." Roxas said. He felt more tears fill his eyes but fought them back. He really didn't need this right now.

Axel shook his head. "I don't think you're a baby. You can cry on my shoulder anytime you need."

Roxas's eyes widened a bit, and he pulled back a bit to see Axel smiling at him. "Nothing is gonna hurt you while I'm around."

Roxas felt tears going down his cheeks and so he went back to crying into Axel's chest. He felt safe, unlike all the other times he had the nightmare, when it had been Sora holding him, or Olette. This time, He felt safe, like nothing could touch him. He wanted to feel this way all the time, he wanted nothing to be able to hurt him. He wanted to always be in Axel's arms.

"Axel…" Roxas said before taking a deep breath and gathering up some bravery. "Will you stay with me till I fall asleep?" Roxas's cheeks got red, but he felt safe, and if he fell asleep with Axel in the room, maybe he wouldn't have the nightmare again.

Axel smiled, happy that Roxas trusted him enough to ask him that. It's too bad he's not gay. "Sure Roxas, I'll stay as long as you need me to. That's what best friends do." And with that he laid down next to Roxas, who wrapped his arms around the red heads waist.

Right… best friends…Roxas thought sadly, he knew that that was all they would ever be. He looked down, his cheeks pink, from having even thought that this meant something more. This would never mean anything more then friendship.

As the two laid there, Axel still humming, Roxas looked outside his window and saw a shooting star. A memory was brought up. One he had forgotten a long time ago.

-

"Roxy look! A shooting star!" Young Axel said as he pointed up to the sky from his window seat. The blond was staying at his house for the night, so the two of them were staying up late, looking at the stars.

"Pwetty." The blond boy said as he put a small hand on the window.

"Roxas, my mommy said, that if wou rish on a star, the rish cwomes tue." Axel said, bouncing with happiness. He had never made a wish before, and he wanted to make one with his best friend. "We should make a rish together!"

The blond blinked at his best friend and then smiled. "Yeah! Lets make a wish!"

So the two bowed their heads and folded their hands, and said at the same time:

Star light

Star bright

First star I see tonight

I wish I may

I wish I might

Have the wish I wish tonight

"I wish we'd be bwest fwiends forever." The both whispered.

-

Now, years later, Roxas closed his eyes again.

I wish that me and Axel will be together, forever this time…

-

Sora stood in the doorway, looking on as Axel took care of his little brother. He felt a smile come on as he watched them fall asleep, in each others arms. He knew they were meant for each other, all that was need was for them to realize it. The brunette took out his camera, and took a picture of the two. The smile on his face turned into a sad frown.

Please let them realize that they were made for each other.

Please…

-

Mimi: I decided to enter Marluxia early, because it gave me a reason for Roxas and Axel to get closer. Now I decided to make Marluxia, because this happened to me. Oh not the almost rape, but there was this guy who asked me out every single day in gym, and who stalked me.
