Zero Wolfbane: Roxy Baby! It's your turn!

Roxas: YAY!

Axel: Don't call him "Roxy Baby."

Zero Wolfbane: …Don't make me get Reno in here.

Axel: …

Demyx: I guess he doesn't like Reno.

Zero Wolfbane: Roxas! Roll the Disclaimer!

Roxas: Zero Wolfbane does not own anything about Kingdom Hearts 1 or 2. ::Reads another note card:: Oh and warning, cutesy chapter. "Cutesy"?

Chapter 9: Roxas and Zero (Probably the longest chapter)

Roxas looked at the starless sky of the World that Never Was, as Zero walked to him. She sat beside him as he stayed still.

"Hey, Roxas," she said.

"Hey." Roxas whispered as he closed his eyes.

"Are you feeling out of it, Rox?" Rox was her pet name for him. He didn't mind, really. It was nice to have something of a big sister.

"No." Roxas had lied, but Zero could tell. She leaned back.

"Did you hear? Xigbar and Xaldin are fighting again." Roxas looked at her, a surprised look on his face.

"Why?"

"Because Maxis stole Xigbar's gun and Xiggy thought it was Xaldin." Hearing this made Roxas laugh out loud. Zero smiled as he sat up.

"Thanks, Z."

"What for?"

"I was sort of depressed." He smiled. "I'm glad you're around."

"Little brother, I'm glad to be around too. Why were you sad?"

"How can I love someone without a heart?" Zero blinked.

"Well, you have friends. Doesn't friendship come from the heart?"

"I guess but…"

"Technically, you do have hearts. Just not like mine. You have half hearts, incomplete yet full." Roxas stared at her as she stood. "If you need love advice, I suggest talking to Marly. Surely he knows a thing or two about romance."

"But I don't think Marluxia goes out with Larxene." Zero was silent as she stared at him. She cleared her throat.

"Just because he doesn't have a girlfriend doesn't mean Marly doesn't understand love." Roxas blinked then put two and two together. Not a good idea for someone so young.

Zero led Roxas down the halls of the castle towards Marluxia's room. Axel and Demyx were talking outside it, in an annoyed fashion.

"Axe, Demy. What's going on?" Zero asked as she and Roxas walked to them.

"Oh hey, squirts." Axel said, grinning. "Marluxia and Zexion are in a 'meeting'." Roxas' mouth dropped as he stared at them in absolute shock.

"What's with Roxas?" Demyx asked.

"I think Axel just made him go bye-bye." Zero told him. She knocked on the door. "Children entering!!" There was some shuffling behind the door. Zero smirked widely and beckoned Roxas to follow. He did as she opened the door. Marluxia was on the couch as Zexion sat at the table. Both of them had messed up hair and their clothes were more wrinkled than usual.

"Hello," Marluxia managed to squeak.

"Hey, Marly. Zexion. Roxas needs some advice on romance. And since you're good with that stuff, I figured you could help him." Marluxia glanced at Zexion, who buried his face in his cook book to hide his chuckling face.

"Zexion, are you laughing at me?" Zexion looked up with his usual serious face when Marluxia asked him that.

"Of course not." Zero shook her head.

"Advice now, please?"

"Vexen was right, Saix does teach her manners." Zexion commented, making Marluxia chuckle. Zero glared at him lightly.

"Well…" Marluxia began. "I suppose when you're in love, you act very goofy around the person you like."

"Like how Saix gets around the superior?" Roxas asked, innocently. Zero froze and shivered.

"I'm mad that you said that."

"Uh, yes. Like that only different." Marluxia said, glancing at Zexion every so often. "They best way to show the person how you feel is to be yourself and open up to them, like you would to your friends."

"Then how is love different from friendship?" Roxas asked.

"Well…"

"Marluxia, you're giving us a headache!" Zero groaned.

"Then you come up with a definition of love. You did live in a world full of love, didn't you?" Zexion snapped.

"Someone's cranky…and love has no definition. You just know it's there. Heart or not." Marluxia nodded, agreeing with her statement.

"You're right. That's what love is. Sometimes you just need to come out and tell someone that you love them…" Marluxia said.

"And most times, they'll say something similar in return…" Zexion finished. Roxas looked at his feet then nodded to his friends, his family.

"Thanks you guys. That was really good advice. I owe you." Zero smiled as Marluxia and Zexion nodded. Roxas walked out the door.

"Who do you think he likes?" Zexion asked Zero.

"I don't know. My guess…"

"Namine!" Namine turned to see Roxas.

"…is that it's someone of great importance to his life."

Zero Wolfbane: AWWWWWWWWWWW. That was cute. Odd since I usually prefer just comedy.

Zero Wolfbane:faints happily::

Marluxia: Zexion, why does she always pair us together?

Zexion: Not sure.

Maxis: It's because she's a yaoi fangirl.

Zexion: Seriously?
