Warning: horrible little sisters.

Because we were all secretly still in the second grade, learning how to make pottery was a necessary requirement. One I proudly will say that I was failing miserably at. My eyes fixed on the squelchy grey clay whizzing around me on that stupid little spinning thing splattering little bits of silt everywhere. That's what that is called right? Well it is now. I kept trying to convince myself that it was in fact both Xion and Naminé's necks instead of what was supposed to become a tea kettle. This time I will say that my actions were completely rational, and I wasn't just over exaggerating. I had every right to be pissed off right now. And just under my skin was boiling. My wet fingers wrapped around the base of the blob and help my grip a little too tight. I couldn't get the thought out of my head.

"You were right." I smiled around a mouth full of fruit-loops; I loved it when Kairi told me I was right, "Naminé and Xion are up to something." Wait. What? She slid in the seat next to me as Bella watched her sadly. She was too big to be picked up, but to hell with that, I picked her up anyway and put her in my lap. Her perfect little blue head lying on the dining table; I'm spoiling her rotten.

"That reminds me. You had them over this weekend, Kai." I reminded her as I broke off a piece of my waffle and fed it to Bella. I had fruit-loops, not like I was really going to eat them anyway. I was kind enough to delay my interrogation of her. But by all means, if she was going to bring it up, I wasn't going to stop her.

"I know I did, Axel. And if you want me to tell you something very important. You will shut up and listen." She flipped her auburn hair over her shoulder, her brown roots still showing. I grinned over at her.

"You know I'm just going to end up holding this over your head for the rest of your life, right?"

She scoffed, "if you weren't family I swear I would just let them trample all over you. But I'm going to be the bigger person here, and tell you anyway." Okay, Kairi acting mature and civilized around me? This had to be something huge, and I could feel the ridiculous little bit of terror blooming in the pit of my stomach. I gulped.

"continue."

"Well when Nam and Xi where over here they told me that uh… they…" she looked guilty for a second and reached out to pat Bella on the head. "I'm sorry, Axel… I didn't mean to." Her demeanor changed.

"Kairi. What did you do?" I was starting to glare at her and her small form sunk back into the stool. So this is really the reason she was being so forward with me.

"I might have sort of kind of… told them about how you've never had a real relationship with anybody and that you only want to sleep with the people you find attractive and that you sleep around a lot." I blinked. And let out a sigh of relief and then a chuckle. How was that bad? That was actually perfect, now they wouldn't be after me because they knew I couldn't have any type of attraction to them. or at the very least mirage would be out of the questions. And now they could peacefully move on with their lives and go back to obsessing over whoever was without a doubt plastered all over their walls and lockers, that come to think of… I've never even seen mine.

"Okay? And?" I was still chuckling softly and she just blinked.

"You're not mad at me?"

"No. now they'll leave me alone." Bella licked at my fingers, staying very quiet. "They think I can't maintain a relationship so the—."

"Roxas." She stated mater of factly.

"Oh." Crap. I forgot. Roxas was proof. How could I forget about Roxas? Roxas of all people. "Wait? What are they up to?" I could feel the sense of relief drown out at a sea of rage. She sat up again, fixing her skirt and lacing her hands together.

"I sort of might have… given them the spark of an idea of a way to get Roxas to break up with you." She stared at me. Her blue eyes searching my green ones glancing back into hers. The information just wouldn't process no matter how hard I tried. I heard it, but it was like I wasn't listening to it.

When I could finally feel the burning of bile creep up my throat I swallowed and croaked out, "what?"

"They said that since you weren't attached to him anyway that it would be okay, so they told me that Roxas has some issues trusting people and that if they could get enough people to say they caught you with someone else then he'd break up with you and then one of them would have a chance at you. As long as you don't know it was them starting the rumors." I stiffened thinking back to my stat class saying we only had another week to last. Proved them wrong. Just saying I inhaled through gritted teeth. Roxas has trust issues. And they know that? But they were willing to fuck with him anyway? Wow, what kind of fucking family is that? These. Things. These five one freshman with pretty blue eyes and baby faces were really succubus. I was going to get them to show their true forms complete with hideous scaly bodies and demonic faces. "And I think they mean it." I could have literally spit venom with that last remark. It was startling that such a raw hot emotion gripped me.

"It's time to get to school Kai," I gently scooted Bella off my lap and she licked my fingers and made a soft sad sound, that she had taken up the habit of doing when I said goodbye to her. I picked up my umbrella from the hooks just behind the door and walked out into the light sprinkling that hadn't stopped since Friday.

"You— you're not mad?" Kairi sounded stunned as she locked the door behind us.

I scoffed, "I'm farther than mad, Kai. Just not at you." She walked swiftly beside me as we started the long trek to the front gates to the school bus. "This should teach you to stop all the gossiping you do. Loose lips are worse than open legs." My eyes narrowed at her watching the glint in her eyes that wanted to argue the pure hypocrisy that just came from my mouth, but she threw it aside for her next statement.

"I'll do one up than that." She twirled her one pink umbrella sending the rain droplets sprinkling everywhere.

"Oh really, how? Do tell, baby sister." I was still seething under my skin, but deep down I felt depressed. My own somber reflection beaming up at me from a puddle before Kairi smashed right threw it breaking me out of my miniature trance with her devious smile. Something she only used when she tried to convince dad to let her go out to parties. What does a fifteen year old do at a house party anyway? Wait. I don't want that thought.

"Well, dearest big brother, they think that right now, you and Roxas are a packaged deal. One that can be easily broken. Right?" she didn't wait for so much as a response before continuing, "Who said they had to be the one to do that?"

I scowled at her, "you're saying I'm going to sabotage my own relationship so some snot nose little fifteen year old girls can't? No offense or anything, Kai, but that's the single worst idea you ever had. I think that tops you trying to convince dad that shaving your head was a good idea." It didn't work.

"Hey! I was twelve. And it was cool then."

"Yeah, and so was Hannah Montanan." We both let out a quiet little laugh.

She was persistent though, "seriously, hear me out. The idea gets better." I sighed motioning for her to continue. "What if you actually were cheating on Roxas?"

"Kairi, I hate to break it to you but, that wouldn't help the situation! We're trying to prevent Roxas from thinking just that."

"No. I didn't mean cheating on him for real for real. But what if we just made them believe that you were actually cheating on him? They would probably think it's too big to be true and rat you out anyways! Then you could stage a break up and when they see how hurt Roxas was they'd feel so guilty about it they would fess up to everything."

"You're missing one crucial point in this. You're running under the assumption that they have a conscious to feel bad with!" She laughed at me but I was being completely serious.

"Just trust me on this one Axel. I'll feed them all the info they need. You just have to tell Roxas." A tougher challenge than trying to convince Kairi Vanitus was so gay for Seifer and would rather have his penis lopped off than be her boyfriend. I think all fifteen year old girls are delusional.

With one last sigh, and the gates still nowhere to be found, I agreed, "as long as you stick up for me when Roxas doesn't believe me."

She grinned nodding her head before turning and facing completely forward. I smiled despite my anger. Sometimes Kairi is actually a really good little sister.

My ears were ringing with how angry I felt. Livid. I was completely and entirely livid at this point. Their tinkling little laughter and pixy smiles were going to be enough to actually ring their necks instead of the blob of clay. How could they go about their days acting perfectly innocent about things like they weren't trying to do something completely and entirely wrong?

"Uh, Axel, I don't think the art teacher would be quite partial to you turning in two incomplete projects." Zexion cut through my internal tirade with a point of his finger.

I glanced down at the block of clay laying on the table and the other still whizzing past. "Oh. Yeah. Thanks." I began my reconstruction mission.

"I normally don't get involved with other people's affairs, but what's eating at you?" he blew his hair out of his face before it flopped back down to covering his eye again.

"them." I jerked a thumb in the girls' directions, hands attached to their finely crafted machine guns. Okay, maybe that's not what they were, but they very well could have been. I didn't dare say their names for fear they had developed a sixth sense for whenever I said their names.

"Axel, they're just little girls. If you're going to be pissed about them being in the same room as you, you might as well transfer out of the class, which you can't do because it's the last quarter of the school year." His attention was focused on his own pottery as I tried to salvage my own.

"I know we don't really talk outside of gym, but can I tell you something? Like kind of a secret." There I was spilling my guts to probably a fifteen year old kid. Maybe sixteen.

He rolled what eye I could see and nodded, "although I don't talk about other people's lives very much, I make no promises not to tell Demyx at some point." I smiled at that trying to stay on point.

"Those things. Are trying to split Roxas and I up." He slid his eyes closed then opened them up with partial curiosity and partial skepticism.

"Say I do believe for half a second, how do you know this?" I was quiet for a moment and so was he, and the only thing filling the space was the soft music whizzing and irritating pixy laughter.

"Kai told me that they told her themselves." I almost whispered. He hummed in the back of his throat.

"And that's bothering you because?"

I was slightly taken aback by his question. I mean wasn't it obvious it was because Roxas was my boyfriend and I wanted it to stay that way? Fuck. I knew no one would believe it when I said they were everything but sugar spice and everything nice. "Because if Roxas broke up with me over stupid shit then I don't know what I'd do with myself." Surprised by my own honesty I saw Zexion grin.

"I believe you, Axel… so what are you going to do about this predicament?"

I gnawed at my lip trying to think, "Roxas won't believe me if I just flat out tell him… I think I need someone who he might actually… trust." I glanced up at him almost pleadingly, hoping that he was as perceptive as I gave him credit for.

With a defeated sigh he spoke softly, "I'll speak with him."

Just then my leg started to vibrate. "OH SHIT!" I yelped very manly as the whole class turned to look at me, "I just… uh. Got silt in my hair, that's all." laughter spread and they were minding their own again, like they should have been doing in the first place. Yeah, that's right bitches. Go back to your own shitty pots. I withdrew my phone from my pocket when I was sure my art teacher wouldn't see and after a few clumsy button smashing, my new, practically only, text popped up on the small screen.

You free afterschool today?

Almost all of the anger melted away with that simple question and I was smiling down like an idiot, fumbling over the keys. The kind that had 'jkl' and were too sticky and sometimes skipped over the letters I wanted and the back space button was broken, and I really needed a new phone if Roxas was going to make texting me a habit.

I have work at four.

Not a problem really, because school got out at two. I slipped my phone back in my pocket, just in time for my art teacher to pass by and eye my work. Yes, I know it puts makes Da Vinci to shame, you can give me a D and we'll call it even. "Okay, everybody! Class ends in ten minutes, so that means it's time to clean up! Unless you want to miss the busses!" her cheery voice called and we all set out to cleaning up, "and don't forget to wrap your work in damp paper towels! We wouldn't want all of your hard work to go to waste!" I rolled my eyes and set out on the task at hand, flopping back in my seat with dry cracking hands at the end of it, I hated it. I hated the clay still under my short finger nails, and I hated how dry it left my hands, and I hated how it sucked out all the fluid in my body and it would be like this for the next two weeks. Just fucking great; I'm going to become the creep who caries lotion in his book bag for no apparent reason. Then when someone goes through my bag they're going to think I jack off between classes or some shit like that, and then no one is going to want to touch me. Great. Fucking great. I was seriously thinking about just turning in my blob of clay for the project grade just to avoid all of that.

"Hey, Axel." My head jerked up when I heard that little mousy voice that was used to cover up the demonic undertones, Naminé. I glared at her for half a second before Zexion so kindly reminded me that it wouldn't be a good thing to start glaring at them before I told Roxas what was going on, with a cough from behind a book.

"What do you want?" I tried to suck the venom back in, but I don't think I was all too successful. Everyone was starting to crowd around the glass front door to the room with the random spewing of announcements about what clubs were meeting and weren't meeting and SOL tutoring. I cringed as she slid in an empty seat right next to me, leaving Xion standing with her arms folded.

"I just wanted to say hi, is all. Me and Xi don't get to see you that often." She batted her almost invisible blonde eyelashes and ran baby fingers through her hair.

"Well, Hi. Now… bye." I gestured to the doors as I stood, slinging my backpack over my shoulder.

"Wait! Nam! He's leaving! I told you just to let me do it." the raven haired girl tugged on Naminé's ear and then rushed over to me, like I didn't even hear them.

"So, Axel, how are you and Roxas doing?" I gulped down my anger. She knew what she was doing. I could feel it. Didn't they have anything better to do? I mean didn't they have some other poor boy to stalk, or have any stalkers of their own to deal with. I tilted my head to the side at that thought. I still got glares in the hall and Demyx was constantly prying girls off him from what I could see when his chorus class joined our theater class, and even Ven claimed to hide out in Guidance under the pretenses that someone in his this or that class wouldn't take no for an answer. Vanitas. Well… I'm not sure about him, someone— like my sister— had to have a thing for the badass don't give to shits about the world type thing. I've even witnessed a few times Riku ripping up 'love notes' Sora would receive, but these girls didn't seem like they had anyone. I wouldn't want them either, but come on. Someone had to like them. Someone had to find little demonic bitches… dare I say attractive?

"We're just fine. Like we always have been." I grit out, but sighed when the bell rang and we all flooded out the doors, leaving them to get lost in the sea of much taller students and mass of screams. Fuck, people, it's only Tuesday! Not even worth getting all excited about! I maneuvered around a few people who were eyeing me. I glanced down at my hand. It still had that fucking "Z" there, and I still had no fucking idea what it meant but I could see a few other people with the same thing and few with a big fat "O" keeping them company. Note to self: ask Roxas what that means, and don't stop until he answers. I was just about to step through the Front doors of the school building when a hand was suddenly in mine and I smiled to find Roxas pretending like he'd been there the whole time. "You know, Roxas, I've been thinking." So I went along with it.

"Uh oh." I rolled my eyes, and continued, opening my umbrella and covering more of Roxas with it than myself. I could see him smile at the gesture; guess I was doing something right then.

"That I've had a horrible day. And you should really make it up to me. They tried to talk to me today." I said dramatically forcing him to laugh and shake his head as we made our way over to student parking.

"Oh really? I guess I do have to make it up to you then." his speech was interrupted with a few waves to people I'd never seen in my whole life, and a couple of fake smiles and 'hey guys.'

I laughed, "no I was kidding, Roxas. Okay mostly."

"No. no. I will. I'll make it up to you." He stopped in a little circle near the side entrance to the school right before the actual parking lot. And kissed me. I swear every time he does that I forget how to breathe. I leant down to deepen the kiss, but he pulled away and pressed his lips to the corner of my mouth instead. Tease. Fucking tease. I swear that's what he is. I thought about telling him to just forget about taking me anywhere and just kissing him until it left him just as breathless as it left me. I guess I could do that another time… you know when I couldn't practically hear the thought of students around me screaming 'he must die.' I blinked a few times, still holding onto my breath, "but come on I'm starving."

I snapped out of my trance just in time to see him step into the student parking lot and pulling open the door to Cloud's car. "No way! He let you use his car? You can drive?!" he slapped me on the shoulder.

"Of course I can fucking drive! What would— why would I not be able to?!" he looked at me like I had three heads or some shit like that.

"I mean. I've never seen you drive before. I just assumed you couldn't. You know, maybe you got it revoked or some shit like that for reckless driving?" okay, maybe that was stupid to think, no, I know it was because the blonde started laughing and shaking his head as he started the car.

"Almost did, but not quite. How'd you think I got to Wal-Mart to buy those condoms? " Good fucking point— wait almost? "Now get in, before the others come and notice I have dad's car." I did as I was told and soon enough we were in the long ass line of cars and students who hardily knew how to drive, but wanted to waste money on getting to school instead of taking the free bus. I didn't voice this opinion to Roxas because I could tell by the way his jaw was tight and his knuckles were white with the grip he had on the steering wheel, that he was not in the mood for any of my logic. I gulped as he started cursing as the drivers pulling clumsily out of their spots and started cutting him off; Roxas had some serious Road rage.

"Hey, Roxas—"

"what." He snapped. I recoiled with slight fear, yup. Never pissing Roxas off for sure. I'll just let poor little Zexion break the news to him. That way he'll be the one who gets hit in the face, not I. He sighed heavily as some patrol person in a bright orange vest waved him out of the parking lot with a thumb up; they check for seatbelts every day I assume. "Sorry. Driving makes me edgy."

"I can tell…" I murmured, attempting to sink down as far as possible in my seat, but it was too damned cramped in there. "So, uhm. Where are we going?"

"Ihop. I want pancakes." He seemed to be chewing on his lower lip in thought about something, "I mean… do you want ihop?"

"Yeah sounds good to me, I don't have lunch on B-days, oh. I can't eat. I don't have money."

"It's okay I have money." absolutely not. Roxas was not going to pay for my food. It was not happening. Our first 'date' kind of things and he was going to buy me food? I think not. He has to allow me some of my masculine pride.

"No… I'm not letting you pay for me, Roxas."

He rolled his eyes, with a snort, "is it because you're 'the man in this relationship' or something? Because if it is, I have news for you. I have a penis too and therefore a man as well. So take that and shove it up your ass. I either pay for you and you deal with it, or you just sit and watch me eat." he glanced at me out of the corner of his eye as he drove, a smile in place on his lips.

"okay." I grumbled, not being able to keep a smile off my face as well. Never knew someone could shoot down an idea so fast. "I'm paying you back though."

"How about next time we go out you pay? And we can change off? Would that make you and your penis feel better?" he asked with another laugh.

"Gee, Roxas, if I didn't know any better, with all this talk about Penises, I'd say someone's sexually frustrated." Another gorgeous laugh as we pulled into the parking lot.

"You're starting to sound like Demyx. And that's creepy, because you're my boyfriend, not my older brother." I frowned and he laughed again stepping out of the car and I followed umbrella left behind because it seemed to clear up just enough.

"Don't compare me to Demyx… please. It's a huge turn off." I dragged my fingernails on my thigh through my pants.

"You can smoke around me, you know that right?" What? He pointed to my hands, "you do that a lot… before you sigh and then you leave. To smoke. You don't have to leave every time."

"oh." Perceptive. Maybe it was the what the fuck are you talking about can you read my mind look I gave him in passing. I quickly fished through my pockets before pulling out the box of cigarettes and a lighter. Before long I was leaning against the trunk of Cloud's little blue car, thinking of all the reasons why he let Roxas borrow it, and how he was at work, exhaling all… well most, okay some of the stress from the day, after all I had to somehow tell Roxas about his little sisters. Would he even believe me? And would he go along with Kairi's plan if he even did? "Hey, Roxas, why so quiet?" I asked, the filter dangling off the corner of my mouth and smoke hanging heavy in the humid air.

"Just thinking… I guess." He shrugged in his spot next to mine. The parking lot was empty, save for the ones that probably worked there.

I rose an eyebrow when I was met with silence instead of an elaboration, "you going to tell me what about?" I flicked the butt to the ground and stomped it out.

"mmm… not now, not yet, maybe later, come on. I'm starving." Well okay then, Mr. Bright side, whatever you say. We made our way into the building with a wave to the hostess and took our seats by a window with menus being scooped away from us and drinks being planted in their place. I've never in my life had service that fast, but hey I'm not complaining. "So, how are you warming up to the school so far?" he asked with a flutter of his eye lashes.

"You know… it's like any other school. Same mass of people, same sucky teachers. Same grades." I responded leaning back in my chair, and watching him as he sipped down his soft drink.

"Nothing specific?" I didn't like where this was going, not one bit. Maybe it's me being overly paranoid at the moment that Naminé and Xion had already put their little half thought through plan into action, but I'm detecting a tab bit of hostility in his tone.

I twirled my straw around in my glass cup, smiling and looking up at him, "I like b-days with you." 'I don't like ASL', I signed simply, forcing him to laugh a little bit, before returning the favor by signing something too fast for me to even begin to ask what he was trying to say so I stared blankly at him. He rolled his head back with another laugh.

"I said, 'I love that you can always make me laugh, even though sometimes you're a little bit slow, but you're cute so it's okay. And I like being with you like this.'" his features had softened out as I searched his blue eyes with a smile on my face.

I chuckled, "well that is to be expected, I mean this is me we are talking about," I grinned cheekily, watching how he rolled his eyes, "on a somewhat serious note… I like spending time with you too, and you're not too bad yourself."

His eyes went huge as the smile never left his lips, "Just not too bad?! That's like an insult! Do you know how many people would kill to be you?" he leant forward on the tabletop, elbows resting on the reflective surface, waiting for me to answer. So I took that moment to steal a kiss from him. I swear I heard him sigh into the kiss, but I'll never really know, because our waitress stood holding our food with a flushed face, one that matched Roxas'. Aww, cute, Roxas blushes; I will get him to do that again.

The waitress bent down and placed our food on the table and smiled at us, asking if we needed anything else to which I mentally replied, for you to leave so I can steal more kisses from one very flustered looking blonde at the moment, but opted for saying, "No thanks, I think we're good." And she walked away. I looked over to Roxas to see him smothering a simple stack of pancakes in strawberry syrup. "I guess you really were hungry." He nodded as he bit into the food, so I did the same.

For the first few moments we were silently chewing, but after about four bites, and many noticeable glances from our waitress, Roxas finally spoke, "so, aside from the fact I haven't eaten since lunch yesterday…"

"Why haven't you eaten since then?"

"He shrugged taking a sip from his drink, "I didn't feel like cooking, so everyone just had to fend for themselves for dinner. I forgot to eat, and this morning I had to split with the car before the others noticed."

I nodded, pretending to follow it all, "wait… you cook dinner?" to which he nodded, and my mouth fell open, "so all this time I've been believing that Cloud made all that orgasm inducing food, and it was you?"

"What? Is it so hard to believe that I know how to cook?" he waved his fork around in way I found cute; it scared me a little to think of fork waving as cute.

I shook my head, "no no, not at all. That's kind of amazing. I guess I just sort of didn't expect it." then the grin crawled back on my face, "you can drive, you can cook, you're an amazing kisser, you're crazy beautiful, you can sign like completely, and you help the disabled… you're fucking perfect. Why do you like me again?"

His face grew red again as he rubbed the back of his neck with his free hand, "don't forget I ride horses out in Pungo."

I laughed shaking my head, "of course, is there anything you can't do?" I said with a roll of my eyes, taking a bite of my own pancakes.

"I can't ever beat Demyx or Zexion at a game of Halo."

"You're kidding!" he shook his head then let out a soft chuckle… he looked kind of nervous actually.

"I'm not… but uh… like I said, aside from me wanting to just eat… I also wanted to talk to you about something." I felt my stomach jump into my throat before plummeting into my stomach, I didn't trust my voice, so I settled for a nod and he continued. He chewed slowly on the last bites on his food before swallowing thickly, "uhm… that question you asked me… about Hayner and you."

"Yeah?"

He looked down into his half empty glass, "you're nothing like him. You're not like any of them." yup, heart in throat again. "You're genuinely sweet… and I don't think you'd ever cheat." He murmured that last part. I felt this strange surge of emotions rush through me and it was like my everything was tilted for a split second and it made me feel dizzy, I don't think I've ever felt guilty in my life. "Okay?" he looked up with a forced smile, "so don't let anyone try to convince you otherwise."

"Uh… I got it… but Roxas…"

His phone started vibrating in his pocket and he held up his finger motioning me to shush-up, "oh hey Zexy. No… why would I have seen him?" pause. "Yeah, he's my brother, but… okay that's definitely him in the background. So why did you really call me. You never call me." he looked confused, and then it quickly turned into a scowl, as I heard the faint murmuring on the other line for a while. Was he calling for what I think he was then, "If this is a joke, Zexion, it's not funny." His glare was directed at the table. "Okay. I will. Yeah, thanks." He sighed defeated, standing up and throwing a fifty on the table. There was no way two people who— and he was storming off.

I stood chasing after him and out the restaurant, "what's wrong Roxas?" I called out for him but he just shook his head stalking to the car.

"MY SISTERS ARE WHAT'S WRONG!" so Zexion had called him to tell him about them. Smart move on his part; he didn't have to deal with the meltdown. He threw his arms up, "Why? How could they even— did you put them up to this?" he stopped dead in his tracks and turned his ice cold glare on me, "because so help me, Axel. If you're using them to cover your tracks I swear—"

"Roxas. Stop. I said I wouldn't lie to you, so when I say I had nothing to do with this, you have to believe me. So just breathe okay." Crap. Crap crap. Crap. I'm terrible at making people feel better. He closed his eyes and drew in a deep breath and when he opened them I couldn't stop my heart from nearly breaking at the sight of almost unnoticeable tears in his eyes. Fuck the things this kid does to me! "Kairi told me about them, and I was going to tell you… but I didn't want you to think I was lying, so I was going to wait and then maybe have Kairi and Zexy help me, because they knew too…" fuck I'm rambling.

His voice came out soft and almost scared, "gods, I really hope you're telling the truth." He sighed dragging a hand down his face and taking those tears with him, so I did the only thing I could think of doing; I stretched out my arms and pulled him to my chest, listening to him whisper, "really hope you're not lying." For a while there, we just stood, me holding him to me and his fingers toying with the stray threads at the bottom of my shirt. I didn't even care about the people that passed us on their way into the establishment. "What am I going to do with them?" he let out a long breath.

"Kai said to have a fight and pretend to break-up so they'll feel bad… or something like that." I laughed a little bit as his shoulders shook with laughter, "I know it sounds stupid, but they're girls so she's got to be on to something, right?"I swore he smiled, and then I felt the small tear stains form on my shirt. He sighed and sniffled against my chest, and I just couldn't resist, "after all this is girl world, and in girl world, all the fighting has to be sneaky."

He jerked away from me grasp, "did you just quote—"

"shhh… shh… it's going to be okay, Roxas. Just let Axel take care of it." I nuzzled my chin in his soft blonde locks and ran a hand down his back soothingly, despite the soft slap he gave me.

Oh just in case anyone was wondering, Pungo is the country/farmland part of Virgina located on the coastline.

Hmm… let's see. This took a long time to get out. Garrh! All because I tried to keep it lighthearted, but ya know some seriousish stuff happened. I hope I did well enough.

I love you all who keep reading and faving and reviewing, and alerting. So keep it up! :DD
