~Xion's POV~

"Hey, Roxas. Let's go eat dinner." Axel said while knocking on my door.

"D-Dinner? Oh r-right, I'll be there. You guys go ahead first."

"Well alright. Something up? Open the door." Axel knocking again, putting his ear beside the door.

"Hehe yeah! Open up." I added.

"O-Open? I-I'm busy... at the moment." Roxas's voice didn't sound too good.

"Is something wrong, Roxas? Your voice is trembling a bit." Axel and I started to get suspicious.

"Don't worry, nothing's wrong. Go right ahead, I'll be there."

I paused for a moment and looked at Axel. "...Well if you say so. Guess we'll see you there then, Roxas."

"Y-yeah."

And so, Axel and I walked towards the kitchen.

"Axel, wasn't that weird? It might be just me but I think something's wrong with Roxas." I said, looking behind for a moment at Roxas's door.

"Yeah... it's not just you. I noticed it as well. He's acting weird." Axel looked straight with a serious face.

"Let's ask him when he comes." We eventually got into the kitchen room and found Xigbar and Luxord.

Axel and I picked out our food choices and sat to the opposite side of the table of Xigbar and Luxord's.

Xigbar was eating and Luxord was doing some tricks with his card deck.

I started took a bite of my spaghetti and Axel started to eat as well.

"Roxas not with you?" Luxord asks, shuffling his deck now.

"Yeah, I think he's coming soon." Axel replied.

"He's coming? Really?" Xigbar had a surprised look.

"Uhh yeah...? He's probably starving. Ice cream isn't enough to fill our stomach." I was surprised at his question.

"Hah." Xigbar took another bite.

"But Roxas is taking a bit long. Should I go get him, Axel?" I was getting impatient.

"If he isn't going to come then let him." Axel stuffed more food in his mouth.

"B-But still..." I took another bite.

As I was going to take another bite, I heard the door open.

It was Roxas.

"Ah! Hey Roxas! Come sit here." I stood up and signaled for him to come.

"Ah... let me get some food first." He went to grab a plate and chose his food liking.

I sat back down and started chewing again. I noticed that Xigbar was looking cautiously at Roxas. Axel saw me look and looked at Xigbar as well. He then, saw who Xigbar was staring at.

"Sorry to keep you guys waiting. Axel, you have some rice on your cheeks." Roxas sat down beside me. He didn't have a cheerful tone nor did he have a serious one. He continued looking down.

"Ah, you're right." Axel wiped it off. I looked over to Xigbar, who looked down and chugged more food.

Well isn't this awkward... I wanted to start a conversation but I didn't know how. So we just continually ate our food. I don't get it. Why is this so awkward?!

I looked over to Roxas, who was eating quietly. It seemed like he was avoiding eye contact with everyone here. So he still continued to look at his plate, eating.

Xigbar suddenly stood up. He grabbed his empty plate and placed it into the sink. He walked towards the door out of the kitchen.

"Done already? Let's go continue with our bet then." Luxord stood up and followed Xigbar. "Roxas, come play afterwards if you want." He left and closed the door.

"Well that was awkward." Axel remarked.

"I thought the same thing. Anyway, Roxas. You need to put more vegetables in your food!" I said, looking over at his plate. He was eating mostly meat.

He looked at me. Then, he suddenly grins. "Ahaha, I like meat."

"Now now, kids need to eat more vegetables." Axel spoke out.

"W-Wah! I'm not a kid!" Roxas looked over to Axel.

It became normal again. Axel looked at me and signaled for me to ask about Roxas.

"H-Hey Roxas. Has something been bothering you these days? You seem kind of off and stuff." I asked seriously, looking at his eyes.

Then, he looked at me and our eyes made direct contact. I felt a weird sensation but I was more concerned about Roxas's answer.

He paused for a moment. "Bothering? Who's bothering me?" He looked surprised.

"Yeah. These days, you seem to be troubled." Axel stood up and placed his empty plate on the sink.

"Troubled... ahaha, maybe it's the dusks? Those dusks never stop!" Roxas laughed weirdly.

"Those dusks still like to pull pranks on you? They must really like you!" I followed Axel and placed my plate onto the sink as well, adding to the pile.

"Pfft. Well I dislike them. You wouldn't believe on the other day, I woke up with a mini version of Axel's hair." Roxas finished his plate and added his plate onto the sink.

"Ohoho? My hair? You should of shown me!" Axel laughed. I laughed as well.

"Ughh whatever!" He pouted.

"Anyways, while you were on an errand, Xion and I bought this new horror movie. We're planning to watch it in your room since it's closest here. So let's go now." Axel walked to the door exit.

"WHAT! W-Wait. My room? My room is ermm... how should I say it. Messy? Let's go to Xion's room." Roxas started to panic.

"Messy? Then we'll help you clean it." I walked towards the door.

"No no no no! Uhh... it's just too messy, okay?! Now, let's go to Xion's room." Roxas stomped out to the door.

"Well... if you say so." Axel and I followed him.

We walked and met Roxas's room. Axel stopped. "Can't we just help clean out?" Axel asked, reaching for the door knob.

"NO! I told you! It's too messy. M-E-S-S-Y. AND DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH THAT DOOR KNOB!" Roxas grabbed my hand suddenly and Axel's. It made my face hot again. Why does this happen when I get into contact with Roxas... I wondered. Doesn't happen with Axel.

"So? What kind of movie was it?" Roxas asked, pulling us towards my room.

"Remember the other day? You and Xion love your horror movies. We saw that ad the other day and you guys kept begging me to get it for you." Axel replied, taking the CD out.

"OHH! THAT ONE? You have it?! Ahh Axel, my best friend~" Roxas let go of our hands, which made me feel a bit disappointed. He snatched the CD out of Axel's hand and looked at it with excitement. He walked faster to my room.

"Aren't you an excited one..." Axel scratched his head.

"Ehehe. At least he's happy." I looked at him with relief.

"Come on guys! Hurry up." Roxas waved with his left hand, holding the CD.

"Yes, yes. We're coming." Axel sighed, smiling.

As we walked and walked, we eventually got to my room. Roxas was the first one to get there.

Roxas opened the TV and placed the CD on my disk player. Then, he moved it near my bed

Axel and I sat on my bed. Roxas scooted over as he finished placing it on the TV.

"Ohh, it's finally starting. Put the volume up, Axel." Roxas pointed the remote next to Axel.

Axel pushed a button on the remote and the volume went up.

We all focused on the TV. There was no such thing as 'mission' or 'heartless' at the moment and I liked that.

...

Already, 10 minutes has passed and we all had that horrible look on our faces. Especially Roxas, who's squeezing my pillow.

"AHHH! WHAT IS THAT THING!" Roxas pointed to the TV.

"Woah. That's creepy!" Axel added.

I, on the other hand had that what-the-heck-is-that face as well.

After 45 minutes has gone by and our face was worsened.

"This movie...! IS SO DAMN SCARY! BUT I LOVE IT!" Roxas was still squeezing my pillow.

Axel covered himself with my blanket. Looks like he's even more terrified.

"Ohh! What are they doing now?" Roxas's eyes widened. I looked at the TV.

My eyes widened as well. "U-Umm Axel... why is their face so close together? And why is their mouth touching each other?" I asked, curiously.

"What... Sigh, you guys are hopeless. If you haven't noticed this movie is labeled as horror/romance/tragedy." Axel replied.

"What do you mean..." I looked at him.

"Haven't you noticed? It explains why there's romance in the genre."

"You mean that, that guy and the girl liked each other the whole time?!" I said in shock.

"Well, yeah. Explains why they acted weird with each other and look, they just kissed again."

"K-Kissed?! So that means... if you like someone, you should k-kiss them?" I started blushing. Kiss? That's a weird word!

"Like... well if you're talking about 'love' as in romantically, then sure. You must really care for that person as if he/she is the only one who makes you feel happy." Axel explained.

"Really? But you guys make me feel happy." Roxas looked at Axel with a very confused face.

"Y-Yeah, that's true. So does that mean we should all kiss or something?" I added, looking at Axel as well.

"W-What?! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Axel fell to the ground laughing.

"What's so funny?!" Roxas asked.

Axel sat back down to the bed, laughing. "You guys... really are hopeless, huh!"

"Explain! Ohh look, they kissed again!" I demanded.

"Well... in life, you might come across 'love'. Love is when you feel weird around that person. Like, it makes you feel different than being with other people you're with. It just makes you want to be with that person the whole time and cherish that person a lot." Axel waved his hands while explaining.

"Wow, Axel... you're smart. Do you love someone?" Roxas asked.

"W-What? Haha, no. We're nobodies. We don't have feelings such as love. Although, you're different Roxas. I can't tell if you really are a nobody. Even you, Xion." Axel looked at the TV.

Hmm... what an interesting word, I thought.

"But you were laughing like crazy just now. Isn't that considered as feelings as well?" I asked.

"Laugh? Well... that's just me pretending to be the someone I used to be. The emotions I know I use to have. But that laugh... I don't know. It just felt real to me. This is why I like being with you guys." Axel smiled, looking at the TV.

"Ahh! He died! That thing killed him!" Roxas pointed the obvious.

"Ohh...what a tragedy. In the end, protecting her drove him crazy." I sighed.

Roxas stopped looking at the TV and looked down.

"Roxas?" I looked at him.

"Huh? Haha yeah, it's sad..." He had a crooked smile.

"Well! I guess that's the end of the movie." Axel yawned and stretched.

"Yeah... it was an interesting movie, I guess." Roxas stood up. He took out the CD and handed it back to Axel.

"Well it's getting late now. We should get so sleep soon." I yawned also, fixing my blanket and pillow back to the way it was.

"Yeah. Roxas, you should of seen your face when you saw that thing earlier! Hahaha!" Axel elbowed his waist.

"O-Oww!" Roxas fell to his knees. His placed his hand on where Axel elbowed him.

"Hmm? I didn't hit you too hard. What's up?" Axel bobbed down, looking at Roxas.

"..."

"Roxas?" I started getting worried.

"Ah. It's nothing! You hit me too hard, Axel!" Roxas protested.

"Really? Did you get wounded there or something?" Axel asked seriously.

"W-Wounded? N-No... ahaha, never mind. Let's go sleep now. I'll see you tomorrow Xion, Axel. Goodnight!" Roxas walked towards the door, slightly looking crippled.

"Did it really hurt that much?" Axel asked again.

"N-No, it didn't! Now see you guys later!" Roxas walked out.

"Maybe you really did elbow him too hard. Poor Roxas!" I teased Axel.

"H-Hey! You make it sound like I'm the bad one! Anyways, but still. He might be hiding something from us. Well anyways, I'm going to sleep now. Goodnight." Axel walked out

"Goodnight." I stuck my tongue out at him as he walked off. The idea of Roxas hiding from us... it's not really like him to hide something from us. I think? Well, whatever!

"Sigh... that movie was really sad." I lay down on my pillow and squeezed my other pillow. The pillow that Roxas was squeezing.

"It smells like him..." I chuckled and soon fell to sleep.
