I'm sure some of you have been waiting for this. If it seems a little...off to you, that's because i had a horrible headache the entire time i typed this...ugh...

Roxas ran out the door, thousands of unpleasant thoughts racing through his head. Why hadn't he noticed Axel's affection before? And why him? Why not someone of the correct gender? Roxas bit his lip as he ran as fast as he could, colliding right into Sora.

"Ow!! What the hell?" Sora groaned, holding his head is discomfort.

Roxas ran right around him, not even caring to apologize. His mind was too filled with thoughts. He felt something when he had kissed Axel. It was too unfamiliar. It wasn't right.

No, it WAS right. It was a heartbeat.

Roxas flopped onto the floor outside main building. He was in the room with the windows that overlooked Malificent's Castle. He leaned up against the wall facing the window. He clutched his chest. B-bmp. B-bmp. B-bmp.

Something wasn't right about this. He should only have a heart if they both loved each other. He didn't love Axel! Or did he? Was it somewhere deep inside him he hadn't noticed? Hell, he hadn't even thought about it before! This was all too new. It was all too different.

Roxas felt the pounding on his chest, closing his eyes to take in the feeling more. He heard it. He felt it. It was real. Or he was going completely insane. He couldn't possibly love Axel! They were both guys!

Did that matter?

Yes it mattered! Guys aren't supposed to love other guys! It's just not right! It's not biologically correct! It's stupid! It's weird! It's…

Roxas let out an angry groan. This was a stupid mental conversation. He didn't like guys. He wasn't gay. That's the end of it. Done. Nothing else to it.

But if that was so, what was this feeling in his chest? What was this aching to be near someone he had never cared about before? No, he cared about Axel. But it was in the way of pranking the other Organization Members, or watching scary movies together at 2am. It wasn't in the sort of way that he wanted to be with him forever. Well, he did want to be with him forever. But not in that way…

Axel turned the corner, watching Roxas with intent green eyes. "Hey." He said.

B-bmpbbmpbbmpbbmp. Roxas's heart sped up. "H-hey…" He stuttered, clutching his chest again as he felt it's race of speed.

"So…um…" Axel shifted his feet nervously, fearing he had made a horrible mistake.

"A-Axel…I need to tell you…I see you as a very dear friend. But only as a friend." Roxas said, standing up so his eyes met Axel's. His heart sped up at the meeting of Axel's intense gaze.

"Friends…" Axel said, looking at Roxas with no emotion. "What can that be defined as? What makes our friendship any different from you and Demyx? What would it be like if you had kissed Demyx?" Axel sounded serious.

Roxas wasn't used to Axel being so serious. "I-I don't know. Kissing Demyx would be gross…" Roxas looked down again.

"Then what about me?" Axel asked, a finger going beneath Roxas's chin and lifting it to meet his eyes. "What was it like kissing me…?"

Roxas stared into his eyes, his heart going so fast he felt he would pass out. "Kissing you is…" Roxas's heart raced, his mind lacking all thought. How did it feel kissing Axel? He was only conscious one of the times, and he didn't really think about it. He never really thought it was a bad feeling.

Axel stared at the thoughtful Roxas. "Roxas, I'm sorry I fell in love with you. It's stupid. I'm sorry."

Roxas stared at him, unbelieving in what he just said. "D-don't be sorry." Roxas said. "Please don't be…" He hugged Axel, feeling the faint sound of a heartbeat in Axel's body. So Axel really did love him.

Axel froze a moment, and then wrapped his arms around Roxas. He felt the soft patter of Roxas's faint heartbeat. "You…do love me?" Axel said, slightly confused.

Roxas didn't say anything for a moment. "I-I don't know…"

"Look at me, Roxas."

Roxas looked up at Axel's beautiful eyes. He lost all thought as he tried to place the correct words. "I-i…i…"

Axel bent down and placed his lips upon Roxas's. Into his mouth, he said, "You don't need to say it. I can wait."

For what seemed like an eternity, they kissed there on the walkway. The sunset lit the room a beautiful orange, and they stayed there for as long as their hearts desired.

No, the story isn't over yet. There's plenty more to come. Though that would be a cute place to end it. Hehe. Well, wait for the next chapter! It could be awhile, cuz i have to study for finals next week. See ya then, lamers!! (( OH MY GOD. I NEED TO WRITE SEIFER IN SOMEWHERE!! ))
