"I see… So that's what been going around with you…" Sora said, looking very much concerned. "And all of this started when you attended "The Order's" concert here at Twilight town…"

Roxas could only nod.

It was early in the morning, right after their little clubbing. The blonde finally told Sora about the whole Axel-thing up to the point about the accident inside club and yes, the brunette surprised.

Very, very surprised.

The younger teen couldn't handle it anymore. It nagged his mind the same image over and over again like a movie being repeatedly played inside his head.

Roxas wasn't delighted at all. He was frustrated about it!

He figured that by telling his problem, it might reduce its nagging. Sadly, it didn't.

"But you know… Don't you think it's fate that you're always seeing him? I mean, c'mon, both of you were in the same club at the SAME time?" Sora pondered, as though trying to think of a reason why his little brother always bumped the singer. "How coincidental could that get?"

Roxas groaned, burying his head in his arms while he sulked on the dining table. Fate? Coincidents? He didn't need those now. And if he ever did, why now when he hated the singer?

This was really boggling Roxas' mind thus now; he was having a bad case of headache.

The brunette just patted his head, caressing those sun-kissed manes. "Well, just stay home today, alright?" Sora advised as he soothingly played his younger brother's hair. "Oh, I have to message Riku! I haven't told him why we had to leave early!"

"I don't mind you telling him the story…" The blonde muffled against his arms but was enough to be understood. Sora heard him and smiled.

"Okay."


Strummed strings sounded very loud yet harmonious. Accompanied by the graceful intro of the keyboard and the unexplainable sound of the sitar was creating, a very beautiful melody was produced.

Do you think these are accidents?

No, baby… it's not.

We were destined to be together,

whether we liked it or not.

But as time goes, feelings grow.

Now, I can't get you off my head.

Why am I so into you? When did it

got so deep? I don't know.

It's the key of destiny that is

unlocking us to see each other.

Baby, I want you.

Baby, I love you.

"Woah, Axel… that's the best intro I've ever heard from you!" Xigbar almost cried when he heard the vocalist. Inside a music studio, "The Order" was recording their new single titled "The Key of Destiny" which was, unbelievably, written by Demyx alone.

Reverberations of drums filled the music booth and it added more beat. Axel tapped his feet in unison, feeling the soul of the song. He had to say it though… The song rang a bell.

They played some more and Axel kept on impressing anyone who was listening behind the music booth. What had gotten to the vocalist? Even Zexion was surprised to see the sudden improvements of the red-head's performance.

Something was definitely up. And no one knew what it was.

"Phew! Nice music, everyone!" The sitar-player commented very happily as he plopped down on the comfy chair. It was break-time and the band was given 30 minutes to rest.

"Yeah, I have to say the lyrics were good…" The keyboardist purposely whispered to avoid getting heard but because of Demyx' keen sense of sound, he squealed like hell. "Ugh, I take it back…"

"No, you won't!"

"The lyrics weren't the only one that was good…" Larxene suddenly blurted as she fixed her hair. She then looked at the vocalist and smirked, "Axel was also good too…"

Marluxia smiled, "Yeah, that I have to agree!"

Then, all of them turned to look at their vocalist, who they caught staring at some gadget. Axel felt eyes around him and looked back. He then grumpily asked, "What?"

The four just smiled at him weirdly. Axel raised an eyebrow. "You people are freaking me out…"

They frowned simultaneously. Axel chuckled quietly.

"DID YOU SEE THAT?! AXEL JUST LAUGHED!" Demyx couldn't contain his surprise. Both Marluxia and Larxene agape at him. And Zexion, well, he just blinked. This was the real Axel they were looking at right? The NORMAL Axel would just snort at them, hell, glare at them too.

But he didn't. Axel. Chuckled.

"What, there's a rule now that you can't laugh?" The vocalist looked at them somewhat annoyed but calm nonetheless. But instead of taking this an offense, Demyx was thrilled to see AND hear Axel like this. It was nice; the sitar-player had to say.

But Larxene was a bit suspicious. It wasn't that she didn't like the "new" Axel now; she just found it disbelieving. Now, she just needed to find the reason why Axel was— Wait, what was Axel holding? Was that a cell phone?

"Hey, what's that?" Marluxia asked, pointing the gadget on Axel's hand. This threw off the current topic and the four focused on the said gadget.

"Just a thing I found at the club. Nothing much." The red-head said as boringly as he could otherwise, any of his co-members might sense that hidden "something" behind his voice. Axel was, although he wouldn't admit it to anyone, was glad that the "punk" dropped his phone.

Now he found an excuse and a way to find this teen.

"You should return that. I'm sure the owner is looking for it right now." Zexion bluntly said, crossing his arms against his chest.

"Oh, I will." Answered Axel and did a wicked smile inwardly. "Later, I will."

Then Mohawk boy ran eagerly to his vocalist and happily asked, "Can I come along? Don't worry! I'll wear a better disguise this time!"

Zexion, Marluxia and Larxene frowned when they heard the sitar-player. Demyx just had to make them remember that awful incident about disguises.

"No way and not in a million years." That was the final word from the singer as he clutched the gadget on his hand and placed it inside his pocket.

The next thing anyone knew, Demyx was wailing again.

Wailing deafeningly and deadly.

"Demyx!!"

Just then, Xigbar entered their room and announced, "Back to work, guys! Time to make some kick-ass singles!"


It was already afternoon and Roxas did nothing but lie down and doze off from time to time. If he wasn't sleeping or napping, he would ponder on to something.

"Fate…? No way." He whispered to nothing as he stared at his ceiling. Inside his room, no more "The Order" items were displayed. The large carton box was still there but was already sealed. Roxas just wondered though… Why hadn't he thrown it out yet?

"Something's telling me that I shouldn't… or something." The blonde murmured, glancing at the box in front of him. He then shook his head and said, "Ugh, I hate this…"

He lied down and closed his eyes to block the view before him but sadly, nothing could block him when a very familiar scene flashed inside his mind.

The push against him was great and he couldn't do anything to stop himself from falling. Roxas plunged to Axel very swift.

And because Axel was eye-leveled with Roxas, and was as clueless, couldn't react to move away or anything.

Instead, he received a falling teen and captured him. Both of them toppled and dropped on the floor.

A weird sensation was felt instantly. Something was so soft, and admittedly, was sweet. Before the two realized, their lips were sealed together.

Axel and Roxas stared at each other's eyes, surprised.

Speechless.

"NOOOOO!!" Screamed Roxas as he hastily sat up on his bed and breathing hard. He shook his head and grumbled, "Did I have to remember that?!"

He dropped on his bed and grumbled incoherent words. This was clearly confusing his mind and needed some time off. From his bed, he reached out to his table and started fumbling the desk to search a very familiar gadget.

He was planning to message his friends and tell them to hang-out for the rest of the afternoon.

Roxas wanted to get-out and probably have Sea-salt ice cream to calm his nerves. This would also be the perfect moment to explain himself to Hayner and the others.

Now, he just needed to find his cell phone.

"…But where is my damn cell phone?!" Roxas finally stood up from his bed and searched his table.

Then his clothes he wore yesterday…

Then the whole house…

"Oh, shit… Where IS my cell phone…?"


Tempting… Very, very tempting…

Axel flipped the "punk's" cell phone open and looked at it. He was about to hit the message button but flipped it close again.

Was it bad to look at some tiny messages? Two or more wouldn't hurt…

Would it?

Axel, slightly frustrated, ran his hand on his hair to calm himself. Something was telling him to read this "punk's" messages and he didn't know why.

Hmmm… Maybe I'll able to read something about him… Axel speculated quietly. Currently, it was break-time (again) and his four co-members went out with their manager to buy food and some snacks.

They insisted the red-head to come along but he refused. Now, he was alone inside their hotel and for his entertainment, looking at this blessed cell phone.

Why am I doing this again…? And since when I got so curious about this kid? Axel asked himself, holding the gadget on his palm. It was unexplainable… and weird.

He leaned his head against the couch's head-rest and closed his eyes. He was about to dose off when the cell phone on his hand vibrated loudly. Surprised, Axel flipped it open accidentally.

Roxas, what happened to you last night?! Me, Pence and Olette were worried!

The singer smiled widely… So, that's his name… Roxas…

Another message came, and this time, was from a person named "Olette". The red-head couldn't resist and read it.

Rox, are you okay? Was it something about Axel again? We're so worried about you…

Then the singer paused and sat straight and blinked at the cell phone in front of him. "Axel…? Me…?"

Was that coincidence that Roxas knew two people who had the same name? It was "Axel" nonetheless?

Then the singer remembered something.

When we first met, I remembered the kid saying something like, "I liked you…" to me and all those nasty stuffs afterwards… Axel contemplated and was starting to feel this weird sensation again in the pit of his stomach.

Axel couldn't help but smile once more. This Roxas kid was making smile and he didn't know why.


"Damn… Where is it??" Groaned Roxas as he looked under his pillow. It was official… Roxas' cell phone was missing. How was he going to ask his friends out now?

"But where could I drop it? I didn't remember bumping with someone last nig—" Then the blonde remembered the fall before. He stopped on his tracks with wide eyes and mouth opened. "I dropped it at the club last night!!"

Immediately, he ran up to his older brother's bed room to ask him to come along with him to Moogle's Radiant Garden. He was still a minor, after all. Also, he needed Riku's help too.

Upon reaching his room, another note was taped on it and said, "Just went out to buy dinner! I'll be back soon! Love ya!"

Roxas groaned exasperatedly. His cell phone was very important to him and it was the only thing he used to communicate with his friends.

Why, oh why was Lady Luck such a bitch?! First it was the kiss, now his cell phone?! Roxas couldn't imagine what was next for him.

DING DONG!

Thinking it was Sora on the door, Roxas quickly made downstairs to open up his brother. He grabbed the knob, twisted it open and screamed, "Sora! I lost my cell phone! I need you to—" Roxas gasped loudly and clamped his mouth immediately. His eyes were large in shocked and same sweat beads started to get visible.

Because before him was not Sora. It was Axel.

"Looking for this…?" Axel smirked at Roxas, raising his hand that held the black cell phone in front of him.


To be continued…
