Very, very short little bridge between chapters 3 and 4. Just a fluff moment. ^^ They needed more bonding time before I hit them with all the crap of chapter 4. XD But 4 will be up very soon! I'm almost done with it. Enjoy this in the mean time!
"Axel, get down from there!" Roxas shouted at the redhead currently balancing himself on the ledge surrounding the top of the clock tower.
Axel merely laughed at his plight. "What, Roxy? You scared?" Axel teased before his eyes went wide as he stumbled backward toward the edge.
Roxas gasped and reached a hand out before Axel regained his footing and smirked deviously.
The younger male frowned and slapped his friend as he took a seat next to him. "You know I hate when you do that."
"Well you know that I hate to not do it," The redhead beamed at him.
Roxas rolled his eyes and diverted them back to the sunset. Then Axel's hand gripped his wrist as he brought it toward him. "W-what-" Roxas queried before Axel licked the length of the ice cream in Roxas's hand, making the blond flush at the implications.
"Your ice cream is melting," Axel stated, eyes low-lidded. "If you don't eat it, I will." He emphasized his point by taking a small bite from the top.
"Hey, cut it out." The blond pouted as he pulled his wrist free and brought his ice cream to his own mouth to nibble on.
Axel let out a sigh and propped himself up with his hands out behind him. "This really is a perfect night."
"Tch. I'd hardly call it that. How can you say that when we're stuck in such a loathsome world?" Roxas groused.
"Because I get to be here with you." Axel regarded his best friend with a soft smile.
"Roxas…?"
Roxas blinked and shook himself out of the memory that had just surfaced in his mind. "Yeah, sorry, what?"
"Your ice cream is melting." Axel pointed to the forgotten treat held loosely in his hand.
Roxas gazed at the sky blue ice cream as a drop of liquid rolled off of it and fell down several stories from the top of the clock tower, to the ground below. Roxas couldn't help the smile that tugged at his lips. "So it is."
