Kittens for Sale!

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters.

AN: Oh man, this chapter just fought with me for the whole first bit and it was a total bitch to get out. Not sure how I feel about it, well at least the first part, but here's the next part, enjoy:

Chapter 4: Roxas hates you all and Riku is not gay!

Lately, Riku had been pushing the idea of getting a kitten. He had mentioned it a few weeks after they got Roxas, but was flat out rejected by both Sephiroth and Axel, who both noticed Roxas' insecurities, and the idea of another cat was just impossible. But in the past few months Riku had been getting pushy. Of course, he never said anything while Axel was around but the red-head had walked past rooms and had caught the end of conversations or walked into a room and Riku immediately snapped his big mouth shut, and he was starting to get suspicious.

That was why he felt his stomach drop when he received a text from his dad late one night.

Lock Roxas up in my room please.

This morning, Riku had dragged their dad out of the house early, both having appointments for the salon today, since both silver haired males cared about the condition of their hair way too much to be healthy, and had left Axel alone, sitting on the couch with promises to be back by one. By 3:30 he found he was still alone but didn't mind it much. Roxas was forced to pay attention to him if he wanted anything so Axel didn't mind.

By 7pm, he was a little miffed and called his dad to make sure they brought him pizza to make up for this. It was now getting closer to 9-o-clock and his stomach complained loudly about their tardiness.

As dread replaced hunger in his stomach he flipped his phone open and typed out a reply.

...You guys didn't get a dog or something right?

Or something.

Axel groaned. He knew it, he was sure that he was right, but he was still optimistically in denial. He went over to Rox and picked the emo cat up, who just stared at him and glowered. Axel looked at him in apology and set him down on Sephiroth's bed and Roxas just stood and watched as Axel backed out of the room, shutting the door behind him. He went and resumed his spot on the couch, trying to concentrate on the TV but inside he was worrying about their arrival.

Growling in frustration, he turned the TV off, the noise just causing annoyance. He sank back into the couch, leaning his head back and staring at the ceiling, watching the shadows cast by the fan from the light over the stairs. He closed his eyes eventually, and he sat in peace until his foot started to tap of it's own volition.

He wasn't sure how he felt about this. He didn't want another cat. He was perfectly happy with Roxas who seemed to be finally settled in. He knew that the cat had issues and getting another cat would cause Roxas to become jealous probably. He'd told Riku this once when the silveret had started gushing about the kittens he'd seen in a box at a farm, and his brother just didn't seem to care.

That also concerned him. Did he care for Roxas too much? Was he taking this too seriously? He knew that Roxas was just a pet but it didn't feel like it because he was also human. Riku seemed to have forgotten that part, but he supposed Roxas didn't put forth any effort to remind him either.

He pulled his phone out, needing a distraction from his thinking. He sent out a text to one of his friends, but tossed his phone onto the cushion when he heard his dad's car pull in the driveway. He watched the door over the half-wall, their front door opening to a landing with a set of stairs that went down to the living room, Axel's room, laundry, bathroom and spare bedroom. The other set led upstairs into the kitchen and living room, then a hallway led to Riku's and Sephiroth's rooms and a bathroom.

The door opened and three people shuffled in, Sephiroth blocking most of the view as the shorter two darted down the stairs, giggling. His father himself just looked resigned and wiped out, his arms filled with bags that he dropped heavily down onto the floor.

Axel watched him walk up the stairs, unsure of what to do.

"Did you remember to get me dinner?"

Sephiroth groaned, "Oh shit, Axel, I'm sorry I totally forgot. I'll stop by the store on my way to drop off Kai-"

"Kairi's here?" Axel doesn't bother waiting for an answer and got up, jumping down the stairs and making it to the back, following the voices he heard. He guessed they were in the spare room, and as he approached the door he heard a small meow that didn't belong to Roxas. Curiosity got the better of him and he knocked on the door.

"Axel?" came Riku's voice through the door, followed by Kairi's tittering laughter.

"Yeah, can I come in?" he said, shuffling his feet. He felt excitement setting in over the dread. He couldn't help but kinda be excited, since he loved kittens, but felt like he was somehow betraying Roxas.

Riku let out a laugh, and Kairi squealed. Axel blanched, finding the two of them together revolting. Gods, they better not be doing anything gross in there. "Yeah, just hold on-no don't do that!-just a second Axel!"

He waited patiently, listening as a few more small meows were heard and things falling before it went quiet and then Kairi was opening the door, smiling rightly at him."Hiya Axel!"

"Hey Kairi," he said pushing past her as she shut the door, standing by it with a smile on her face, hands clasped behind her back. Riku sat on the floor holding a struggling kitten in his hands and Axel's jaw hit the floor when he saw it.

Oh. My. God.

"We got a new cat!" Riku beamed, cuddling the wiggly fur ball in his hands, staring at it with immense affection. Axel's eye twitched.

"I... see that."

"Well, what do you think of him? Isn't he just precious?" he continued to gush. The cat clawed him and got away, running under the computer desk in the corner.

"It's PINK!" he said, eyes following the pink cat, not sure if he could believe his eyes. I mean, sure, binoids aren't always natural colors, but holy fucking Jesus-the damn thing was pink!

"Ahuh!" Kairi chimed, "Isn't that cool?"

Axel stared at the girl like she had two heads.

"Hey Axel, you should watch him while I go say bye to Kairi, kay?" Riku stood and took Kairi's hand, and Axel nodded, taking a seat on the guest bed. They left and now he was alone with the cat, who was under the desk exploring things.

Axel just stared, the thing not stopping for a second, seeming unable to stay still. Eventually the cat got curious and jumped onto the bed beside him and Axel caught it, picking it up.

The kitten had soft pink fur with a white belly, paws and mouth. It had big blue eyes and the top half of it's left ear was missing, which made Axel wonder what had happened. It's head was way too big for it's body but Axel couldn't help but admit that the kitten was quite adorable. Roxy's still way cuter though he quickly reassured his guilty conscience.

Plus the cat was so small! It was hard to fit it comfortably in both hands but too awkward to hold with one, and it was so very thin. He felt like he was going to squish it in his hands, so he dropped in back onto the bed and it jumped onto him and dove into his hair, attacking the mass or red spikes. Axel laughed, struggling to untangle the kitten who would nip and bat at his fingers if he tried to get him, and damn those claws were sharp. Eventually he just leaned back and he fell out, immediately bouncing back up and running off to explore the bookshelf.

Axel laughed, this cat was hyper which was kind of fun. He yelped when the kitten went for his foot, little needle-like claws embedding into his toes through his socks. He lifted his foot in the air and the cat jumped at it but missed. Axel laughed again, finding this extremely entertaining.

Maybe a new kitten wasn't so bad after all. Maybe.

Guilt started to settle in, and he calmed down, watching as the cat occupied itself with a dryer sheet, thankful that Riku came back soon after and he slipped from the room.

Axel set the over to pre-heat to 450, pulling out a pan from the cupboard and ripping the plastic off of his pizza, placing it on the pan which he set on top of the stove while he waited for the timer to go off. He leaned against the counter, staring at the back of his father's head, who sat on the couch watching TV. Axel bit his lip, wondering if he should say anything. His mouth decided to say something anyway.

"So what's up with this?" he asked, obviously talking about the cat. His tone was laced with the annoyance he was trying to jeep hidden.

"We decided to get another cat," Sephiroth replied calmly, turning to face Axel.

"We? Who's we? Cause I wasn't involved and I'm part of this family, but I'm not part of that we."

Sephiroth sighed. "Do you not want it?"

Axel averted his eyes, huffing out a breath, not sure what his answer to that question was. "I don't know, whatever." he turned away, watching the timer on the oven. His father didn't say anything back to him.

"Dude what happened to you?" Axel said, laughing at Riku's less than stellar appearance. The boy looked like he'd gotten harassed by a group of old men on a public bus, his usually immaculate hair was a rats nest and his nightshirt had some buttons undone so it hung off the one shoulder, but the expression on his face just pulled the look together perfectly.

Riku sat down heavily into his chair at the table, glaring darkly at Axel as he grabbed the cereal box, gripping it tightly as he dragged it across the table, nearly dumping the whole thing in his bowl. The milk suffered a similar fate and even Sephiroth couldn't help but be slightly amused at his usually flamboyant son's display.

"Oh god- Is that a hickey?" Axel burst out laughing, the red mark on Riku's neck fit in with Axel's story perfectly. If only it was logical for Riku to have taken a bus so early. Maybe he was sneaking out to see his secret male lover? God, Axel sure hoped so. He still refused to believe Riku wasn't a flaming homosexual. Axel Norio was never wrong dammit! His gaydar was top of the line baby!

Riku blushed a dark red, cereal spraying the table as he hissed at Axel, causing their father to wince in disgust and back away. "No you fucktard, it's not a hickey! That god damn kitten wont leave me alone at night. I think he was taken from his mother too soon because he was suckling on my neck last night. All. Night."

"Whoo! Go Riku! I didn't know you had it in you bro!" Axel teased, ruffling Riku's already messy hair nest, causing the boy to scowl more and slap his hand away. Axel suddenly cringed and leaned away from Riku. "Dear lord what is that smell?"

Riku sighed, "Pinky has stomach problems I think. He's probably sick cause he keeps sneezing too. His farts are the worst though, I swear I'm going to suffocate in there at night," Riku put his head down onto the table, shoulder's shaking as he fake sobbed, "It's worse than a freaking baby!"

Their father scoffed. "Ha, yeah, you don't get to say that until you've had children."

Axel grinned, laughing at Riku's misfortune, the silver haired boy stuck his tongue out at his and made a nasty face, Axel flipped him the bird.

Then Axel's face lit up in realization, "Hey wait, I though the binoids were made in tubes of something, I didn't know they reproduced sexually."

Riku looked a little confused. "You know, I have no idea if they can or not, but why else would he suck like that if he wasn't trying to get milk."

Axel shrugged, "dunno, we should check that out though, cause now I'm curious."

"You can, I, on the other hand, am going to shower then get some real sleep, in my own room, where there aren't any devil kittens," he got up and put his bowl in the sink, heading towards the door.'

"You're the one who wanted him so badly," Axel sing-songed, causing Riku to throw a withering glare over his shoulder. Unfortunately for Riku it just bounced off Axel's invincibility shield. Riku pouted, it wasn't fair that siblings were able to survive your death glares. Not fair at all!

"Oh em gee! Axel you totally just missed it! Pinky did this really cute thing where he stuck his head in a pudding cup and it got stuck and he couldn't figure out how to get it off," Riku gushed, pulling out his phone and flashing a picture of the kitten at Axel who took his phone since Riku was moving it around too much. The picture made him laugh too.

"Seriously Ri, Pinky is the stupidest name ever. I refuse to call it that."

Riku snatched his phone back and pouted, "but it fits perfectly!"

"But it's so stupid! In fact, that's why it's stupid! To make up for the loss of manliness his pink fur gives him he needs a manly name. Like Peirce or Brock. No wait, Axel Jr.!"

Riku looked affronted at the suggestions, "Ugh, Axel gross! Those are the stupidest names ever!"

"Oi!"

"What about Marluxia?"

"How did you come up with that?"

"well you see, the other night I had this dream where I was Cinderella and my fairy god mother was named Marluxia and he had to get me to the ball so that I-"

Axel burst out laughing, "Oh god- Ha ha! A-are you sure your not gay!" Axel gasped out, clutching his stomach.

Riku clenched his fists and turned red with anger, shaking with it as he glared at Axel. "I'm NOT gay!" he yelled, throwing his arms up and stomping off to his room, slamming the door behind him.

(AN: poor Riku. lol)

Roxas was pissed. He was angry, he was upset, he was jealous, confused and nervous. He was an emotional wreck.

He knew what was going on, he wasn't stupid. He knew what was in that room, even if they tried to stay quiet about it when he was around. He could still hear the meows coming from that spare room.

He was pissed that they would get a new cat. Why did they need a new cat? They already had him! They didn't need a new cat!

He was angry that they were treating it like some big secret. He's not stupid goddammit! He's not deaf!

He was upset because they didn't need another cat. What about him? Was he not enough?

He was jealous since he had to compete with a kitten and the odds weren't in his favor. Kittens were cute, and cuddly and playful, all the things that he was not.

He was confused about why they would want another cat. Why would they want another cat? He hadn't done anything wrong had he?

And he was nervous. He didn't like this one bit, not at all. What would happen to him? Would he be forgotten? Was he being replaced? Would they bring him back now that they had a better cat?

All of these things were driving him crazy, so many emotions and he wasn't sure which one to feel.

The kitten had been around for a couple days now and each day Roxas got more paranoid. He was jumpy and swiped at anyone who came near him, he didn't want to be touched and he wouldn't so much as acknowledge anyone who smelled like kitten. What surprised him was how much Axel didn't smell like kitten, in fact the red head seemed anxious just like him, which confused Roxas more, since what did Axel have to worry about?

The red head chose to spend a lot of his time in his room and Roxas felt like sitting in the window that had been left open 24/7 recently, sometimes allowing the red head to pet him. This seemed to please Axel. Once he even sat in the sun spot on his bed, right next to him, and Axel, who was reading at the time, looked over his book at him and smiled before going right back to his adventure about orange jumpsuit clad ninjas and their emo best friends.

Roxas felt peaceful at these times, because from here there was no sign of the cat, he couldn't be heard or smelt and for just awhile, Roxas could pretend that everything was normal.

But it wasn't; not even close.

"C'mere Roxas," Riku cooed, approaching the catatonic feline cautiously, knowing the yellow furred creature had taken a huge disliking to him lately. Roxas glared at him and let out a low growl from the back of his throat. Axel heard this and turned from his spot on the couch, watching over his shoulder.

"Dude, just leave him alone."

"Shush Axel, Kairi told me to bring him in the bathroom. We're going to introduce him to Marly."

"Marly? What kind of stupid name is that?"

"Hey! Don't be mean! Marluxia is a very cute nickname for my super cute kitty!" Riku pouted. He had spent hours picking out the perfect nickname since Marluxia was a little long, and who was Axel to call it stupid? No one, that's who.

Roxas yelped when Riku snuck up and hoisted him into the air, holding the cat at an angle where he couldn't claw Riku from. He squirmed to no avail, Riku's hold was solid. Axel watched in dread as he was brought into the bathroom. He put the TV on mute, listening to what was happening inside. He heard Kairi shriek.

There was some commotion then the door was opened, a yellow blur darting out of the room and hiding behind Axel's legs, hissing at the silveret that had followed him out. Riku stopped at the look Axel was giving him, scowling at his older brother. Axel had his don't-fuck-with-me-or-you-die look and Riku knew if he wanted to wake up with all of his hair he should give up.

Kairi walked out of the bathroom with the cat cage, the small pink cat crying out, slightly freaked out. Roxas tensed, bearing his teeth. Axel looked back at the girl, who had tears in her eyes and a pout on her face. He sent Roxas a mean look.

"What happened in there?"

"Roxas saw the cat and got away, he went after the cage and he got Kairi pretty bad." Riku said, and true enough Kairi had a bright red scratch mark across her neck and a few on her arms. Riku had some on his shoulders, but was otherwise alright. Axel looked back at his cat who was eying Kairi with a smug look. Axel barked out a laugh.

"Looks like he was trying to kill you Kai." the girl pouted and Riku cracked a smile, but hid it when Kairi looked at him with a sour look.

"Hmph! That thing is evil! Here take your cat, I have to get back home," she shoved the carrier into Riku's hands and stalked out, making Riku sigh.

The past few days Kairi had been moody and not her usual up beat self. It wasn't fun to be around her but if he refused she would either get a.) sad that he was unavailable or b.)angry the he didn't have enough time for her. Apparently she was on some new medicine for something or other. She didn't really specify.

"Girls," he said hopelessly. Axel smirked and opened his mouth to say something but Riku shot him a glare, "Don't you say it!"

Axel held up his hands, trying to innocent. "I wasn't going to say nothing, nope, not at all."

Riku didn't believe him but just rolled his eyes, adjusting his hold on the cat carrier and making his way downstairs. Axel thought about saying something but didn't in lieu of grinning down at the cat hiding behind his legs. "Hey there Roxy!"

Roxas turned his head up to face Axel, and then Axel was no longer looking at a cat but a furious blonde, who was kneeling on the floor and glaring towards the stairs. "What is that thing?" he accused, looking back to Axel expectantly.

Axel just stared dumbly. "Well, ya see-" Roxas started as there was a pounding of steps on the stairs, signaling Riku's return and he was once again a cat, running off to hide. Axel sighed in disappointment, he had been hoping they could have talked more.

"Hey, dude, I challenge you to a brawl" Riku said as he bounded into the living room, going over to set up the Wii. Axel grinned, catching the controller his brother threw at him.

"Oh, you're on Riku. Prepare to get you ass handed to you."

They had been meeting up every couple of weeks for while now, having lunch together as close friends, though they still weren't as close as Sephiroth was hoping they would be. But as a man with two children and a demanding job, he didn't have time to have flings and one-night stands. He was looking for a partner and he had to make sure it would last before he tried anything. It wasn't because he was too chicken, so just ignore what Riku says since he doesn't know what he was talking about.

Cloud was chatting away happily about one of the kids in his class, Johnny or something, and how he had tried to give a girl a valentine card (two weeks early) but accidentally dumped the whole jar of sparkles on her. Normally Sephiroth would be listening with apt attention, but the past few days had been hard on him, he'd barely slept with all of the work he was getting so you could hardly blame him when he zoned off into space.

"Am I boring you?" Cloud asked playfully, noticing Sephiroth's half-awake stare, and the man in question looked over at him slowly, as if not understanding the words.

"Ah, no, please forgive me, I'm just a little tired." Sephiroth said, cursing at himself for not paying attention.

Cloud just smiled and waved it off, cradling his cup of tea in his hands, having finished lunch quickly so he could talk without interruption. He had noticed the purple marks under his lunch companion's eyes and the slight dull the the shiny silver hair. The man was still gorgeous but not up to full shine, not that Cloud was looking or anything. He just... noticed. "Are you alright?"

Sephiroth sighed, setting down his fork and leaning back in his chair. "I haven't been getting a lot of sleep lately; I've had a lot of work and with the new kitten and all..." he trailed off, gesturing vaguely with his hand.

Cloud's eyes lit up, "new kitten?" he questioned excitedly, almost bouncing in his seat.

Sephiroth raised an eyebrow at him, amused by the man's somewhat childish behavior. "Yes, Riku insisted that we needed another cat so we got a new kitten last week."

"That's so cool! Is it a regular or a binoid?"

"Binoid"

"Ooo! I wanna see it!" Cloud said, leaning over the table and looking at Sephiroth with big, pleading eyes. Sephiroth couldn't help but smile.

"He, and you could come over whenever you want to meet him. His name's Marluxia."

Cloud nodded excitedly, wanting to go now, but knew they both had to return to work now and that he was being silly anyway. What kind of grown man got excited over kittens? He blushed slightly and sat back in his seat, "Marluxia? That's quite an interesting name."

The silver haired male nodded in agreement. "Riku picked it out. It's quite the improvement from what he wanted it to be at first."

"What was that?"

"well, the cat is pink and he wanted to call it Pinky." both men cringed. "Not the most creative name."

Cloud laughed, "I hate it when people give such generic names, like Demyx used to be called Sunny and Zexion was Stormy. My own parents named me Cloud because of my blue eyes and it reminded them of the sky. Though, it's unusual for a person to be called Cloud so it's okay I guess" he said shrugging. "Oh! But I love your name! It's so strange, and I've never heard of anyone with a name like it. I even googled it and there's nothing except your website, some game character and something about a kabber or something," he said, trying to think back to what he'd seen on the wiki link he'd clicked.

Sephiroth stared at him for a second, looking strangely at the blonde. Cloud had googled him? Oh how wrong that sounded. He shook himself, "My parents like odd names. And they got Sephiroth from the Kabbalah, it means enumeration."

"That's Jewish right? Zexion's Jewish too, but I don't really understand any of it."

"Your cat is Jewish?"

"Yeah, he is. He's just like a person except he can turn into a cat whenever he wants to. And he's like abnormally smart, but that's not anything odd."

Sephiroth looked thoughtful. The thought of a cat being religious had never crossed him before and it was rather odd. He just shrugged though, to each his own. Cloud checked his watch, seeing that he should have left a few minutes ago. He stood and gathered his stuff, pulling his bag over his shoulder.

"Aw, crap, I gotta get going, I'll see you later okay?" He said, and waved, turning around to leave, but Sephiroth got up and called after him. Cloud turned to look at his neighbor questioningly. "Did I forget something?"

Sephiroth shook his head, "Would you like to come over for dinner tomorrow? You could meet the new kitten."

Cloud's face lit up and Sephiroth felt his heart speed up a bit, "Yeah sure! What time?"

"Around 6:30?"

"Sounds great, I'll see you tomorrow then!" and with a final wave he turned and walked to his bus stop and Sephiroth headed the other way towards his car.

Axel is awoken that night by a weight crawling into his bed and sitting at the end. The weight shift of the bed brought his body back to consciousness but the figure crawling on top of him is what caused his brain to catch up, and his eyes shot open and he was met with glowing blue eyes, glinting at him in the darkness. He startled and sat up, Roxas sat back on his haunches, staring at Axel, tail swishing. They stared at each other for a few seconds, Axel rubbing his eyes trying to dispel the sleep from them.

"Rox?" he asked, voice rough from disuse. The boy shifted and got closer, coming face to face with Axel, their noses almost touching as his angry blue eyes stared into shocked jade ones.

"Why?" he hissed, gripping the front of Axel's shirt, shaking him slightly. He repeated himself when Axel gave no answer and this time his voice cracked and his ears drooped, the hurt showing over the anger. Axel broke from his stupor and reached out, placing a hand on Roxas' shoulder, causing him to hiss and tense but deflate a seconds later, sagging into Axel, forehead resting against his collar bone, grip relaxing as he shook.

"Roxas, hey, it's alright, we-"

It's not alright!" Roxas hissed, pulling back, glaring accusingly. "Why did you need another cat? Am I not enough?"

Axel frowned. "Roxas, you're more than enough, you-"

He was once again cut off by the blond. "Then why did you want another cat?" Axel's expression softened when he saw that the blonde looked like he was about to cry. He reached out and pulled the cat boy towards him, Roxas being difficult and staying stiff as Axel hugged him, trying to hold back his tears. He hadn't cried in years, he wasn't going to start now.

"Hey, don't look at me, I didn't really want another cat," Axel said, shaking his head. He wasn't going to get blamed for something that was all Riku's doing. The cat's ear twitched, tickling Axel's nose.

"... you didn't?" the blonde cat said, staring at the front of Axel's nightshirt, fingers playing with the fabric absently. He relaxed in the human's hold, his anger fleeing him and he moved his eyes up to meet Axel's asking for reassurance.

"No, that was all Riku. I just, you are enough Roxy," he said, rubbing the boy's back gently, and Roxas curled up against him. Axel sighed mentally now that the cat had calmed down. He just pet his hair, thinking about how soft it was, just like the cat's silky fur. Roxas suddenly turned to Axel again, this time a few tears had escaped his eyes, trailing down his cheeks. Roxas was still unsure about things, Axel had reassured him some but he couldn't help but doubt things.

"B-but why did you let them get another cat? Am I not enough for Riku? Did I do something wrong?" on the last question his voice got really quiet and it reminded Axel of a scared child. He wasn't sure what to do, he wasn't good at consoling people.

"You did nothing wrong Rox," he tried, smiling at him. Roxas nodded but then started to cry harder, lunging forward into Axel, knocking him back against the wall ad he sobbed into his shirt.

Axel stared down at him in bewilderment, shocked that that cat was crying all of the sudden. Had he said something wrong? The blonde continued to sob on his chest, arms going around Axel as he clung to him with a death grip. "D-don't... don't give me away, p-please!" he cried out, voice shaking and sounding so scared that Axel felt his chest tighten and he hugged the boy back just as tight, hushing him and whispering into his ear calmly, rocking him in his arms, letting the boy cry it all out.

"Shh, Rox, I'll never give you away okay? You're going to stay with me always." Roxas nodded and buried himself further into Axel, if that was even possible. He wanted that, he wanted to stay with Axel forever. Axel just continued to comfort him until eventually the boy's cries turned into sniffling and hiccuping, and eventually his shaking stopped, and then finally his grip loosened and his breathing evened out. Axel maneuvered them so that he was lying on his back with Roxas laying on top of him, pulling his blankets over them both.

Axel watched the boys now peaceful sleeping face, dried tear tracks still visible and eyes still puffy but the strain and sadness in his face was gone, muscles relaxed. He ran his fingers through Roxas' hair absently, watching as the soft blonde ears twitched when he stroked them, and he nearly jumped when something slithered around his waist until he realized it was only Roxas' tail curling around him. He let out a long sigh and stared up at the ceiling, mind still going a mile a minute.

He couldn't help but think about why Roxas was so broken up, he couldn't help but wonder why he thought he would be given away just because they had a new cat. Axel decided that he definitely didn't like this new cat, not if it upset Roxas so much. He did feel slightly guilty because it wasn't the kitten's fault, but he would choose to be on Roxas' side. With that he closed his eyes and enjoyed having the boy cuddled up next to him and fell asleep.

AN: Bet you all expected the new cat to be Sora didn't you? Lol so did I actually XD He decided to change roles last minute so instead of showing up in this chapter, he won't be making an appearance until the end of the next chapter but I can't wait until he does. Review and let me know what you think! Reviews also make me write faster (*hint hint*) :D
