A/N: I don't own the character or the places. Just the idea of the story.

Thanks to both Sekisetsu Komoriuta and Dance. Grimmjow. Dance for their help! (Sorry, had to put spaces between the second helper's name since it wasn't shown right.)

Island Adventure

The Shelter

Axel freaked out. He looked around to notice that the shelter had managed through the storm. He nearly cut the rope but luckily managed to open the knot before nearly dashing out of small shelter. "Demyx!" Axel screamed in panic. He was not going to lose the Nocturne now. Not after they survived that darn storm.

"Don't yell. I'm right here." Demyx nearly grumbled. Axel spun around in a flash and stared at the Nocturne. "I woke up an hour or so ago and decided to check our shelter parts." The musician explained while sitting on the ground and carefully going through the north side's shelter part. "Seems like four levels of clay and leaves holds through a storm…" He mumbled.

Axel crashed to his knees while sighing in relief. "Demyx… Never do that ever again… You freaked the hell out of me." He whispered and Demyx glanced towards the Flurry. The small annoyed glance turned into slight worry the second his eyes locked into Axel.

The Nocturne stopped his work and slightly frowned at the Flurry. "Axel?" Demyx whispered little worriedly. Axel chuckled before crawling to the musician. Before Demyx even knew what had happened, the Flurry already hugged him.

"I was so worried 'bout you…" Axel whispered. Demyx sighed and relaxed.

"Sorry…" The Sitarist whispered before smiling a little. "I'm fine, Ax. I think I can walk inside of few days. Then we'll get the shelter fully done." Demyx smiled. Axel nodded while slightly tightening the hug.

They moved slowly back to the shore. This time Demyx half stumbled through the jungle but Axel got enough of that quite soon. He put the shelter pieces down and quite fluently took the Nocturne to his back. "You're not walking any longer for today." He stated. Demyx pouted a little and sighed but didn't complain on any other way. Axel only chuckled while carrying the musician to the shore.

After Demyx was securely on the one piece of their soon to be shelter, Axel looked around on the beach. "The island seems to survive really well from the storms…" He muttered. Demyx rolled his eyes.

"Of course it does. It's in middle of the sea and still green and working. It just has to survive or it'll be down in the sea." Demyx stated while looking around too. "We probably should start the fire once again…" Demyx whispered before continuing: "Not to mention about our little shelter too…"

Axel nodded. "I fetch what you need on the fire and then I'll continue with rest of the shelter parts." Demyx didn't have much of time to say a thing before Axel was gone already. The Flurry did come back quite soon with branches and leaves. Smiling, he carefully put them next to the Nocturne before starting to help with the fire.

Demyx frowned a little. "Didn't ya say I'll handle the fire and you'll just bring what I need?" He questioned. Axel chuckled and shrugged.

"Decided to do more." The Flurry replied with a smile while putting the rocks around the fire place. He watched how Demyx worked with getting the fire living again. "You're amazing…" Axel whispered quietly. Demyx was little startled before he blushed a little.

By the end of the third day after the harder storm, Axel came back out of the jungle empty handed. He shook his head little sadly. "Couldn't find any more of vines." He stated while sitting down next to the Nocturne. Demyx looked little thoughtful before grinning.

"It doesn't have to be vines. It could be really high grass too. And I think I did see some of that around the place where we kept the shelter several nights ago." He stated with a smile. Axel blinked and started to think. Grinning, he nodded and stood up again.

"Okay, camping master. I'll go check and bring some along." Axel nodded before heading back into the jungle. Demyx smiled brightly when Axel came back with long grass parts. "You think these will work?" He questioned. Demyx nodded eagerly.

The days went past quite fast. Demyx started to walk again and eventually head to the ocean to fetch clay to finish the parts of the shelter. They made few extra levels of clay and leaves to the pieces just in case. Eventually the pieces of the shelter were ready.

"So… Now what?" Axel questioned while checking that everything was perfect on the pieces of the shelter. Demyx grinned.

"Now is the last part of the shelter to be done!" He exclaimed happily and looked around in the beach. Eventually he walked little bit closer to the jungle but left few meters off of it. Marking his place, Demyx returned to take the biggest piece of the shelter pieces. Axel kept watching little puzzled while Demyx put the piece on the ground and marked its place.

Right after that Demyx moved the piece off of his way and started to dig. "Uh… Demyx?" Axel questioned. Demyx grinned without stopping his digging.

"We'll do the shelter into the sand! The storms can't touch it and it'll be hidden." Demyx explained. Still, it didn't fully explain all for Axel.

"I think your idea's missing some parts." He whispered while coming to dig with his friend. Demyx chuckled and shook his head.

"Nope. It doesn't." He stated before starting to explain:"Three of the parts are going to be the walls to keep the sand from crashing on us. One piece is the roof which will be hidden in the sand. One part is going to be the floor and one piece will be the door."

Axel blinked at the Nocturne. He glanced at the shelter pieces. Then he chuckled. "No wonder you made 'em different sized." Demyx nodded eagerly. "Okay, let's get this done!" Axel exclaimed and started to dig with new strength. Demyx chuckled a little while doing his part and watching Axel's work.

By the evening the whole shelter was ready. They had few steps down to their shelter and the door did work perfectly. The pieces of the shelter were firm yet the door did move in the small rut without problems. The two owners of the new shelter watched their work quite proudly.

Axel chuckled and shook his head. "Never thought to do something like this." He whispered with a smile. Demyx chuckled.

"You like it?" He questioned and all Axel could do was to nod. Demyx beamed. "I knew it!" Axel laughed and slightly ruffled the Nocturne's hair that had been quite flat for the past weeks after the first storm.
