A/N- Oh yes, we have exceeded 6000 words on one chapter! It is a happy day. A few different elements in this chapter that I'm sure you'll notice. All I can say is sorry to anyone who likes Naminé but she really annoys me. I feel so British right now, this chapter was writing while drinking many cups of tea and day dreaming about milkyways. Thanks for the many reviews I got last chapter, as you can see I'm updating a lot quicker again. Hope you enjoy this chapter just as much.

Day 9

Axel

Something was not right. I'm sure it's not possible to experience such pain at every little sound without receiving a fatal head wound. Focusing solely on the task I had ahead of me I blocked out everything else. I felt the strain attack my brain like mad, every muscle in my body told me to give up and just accept my fate. But I could never lose the fight so easily, I was made of stronger stuff. Ignoring my body's protests I carried on, regardless of the consequences. I fought so hard that I was almost shocked when I won. I feeling of overwhelming victory rushed over me. I had done it! Now, that's one eye open, time to work on the second one.

When I finally managed to get out of bed, both eyes opened, I checked my bedside mirror. Though my eyes were still struggling to stay open I gave my face a one over. I looked awful but there were no hideous head wounds on sight. Looks like I was just suffering a killer hangover. What the hell had Roxas been giving me last night? And in a burst my memory returned to me, and it did not help my headache. Or my mood for that matter. Because I wasn't with Roxas last night was I? I was with my so called best friends, drinking my pain away. It was all clearer now, the photo Larxene had shown me, agreeing to a night out, those damn shots people kept buying me. The reflection in the mirror did not too pleased with me. Is it possible to disapprove of yourself, because that's how I felt. Why was I such an idiot? I repeated that to myself again and again until I suddenly shouted at the top of my lungs, causing my neighbours to bang on the walls and my head to spin in agony. I should have spoken to Roxas, at least tried to sort things out. Instead I'd stood him up, how was I going to explain that one. I knew there was something I was forgetting, there had to be. Let's see, we started off at our favourite club and were straight on the strong stuff. Then we moved on to somewhere else and downed a few shots and Larxene started dancing on the tables. Then we were kicked out of there, Luxord swapped his shoes with some blonde bird, I had a few more shots and we kind of wandered into another club. It was becoming clearer now, I had a crowd of girls around me, I was telling them about my sweet pad and then….oh shit. And then I saw Roxas. And I glared at him. And he looked at me with those damn blue eyes and looked like he wanted to cry and hit me simultaneously. Just picturing his face told me what I really didn't want to accept. Whatever we had between us had broken and I'd made sure it could never be fixed. God I'm a fucking idiot.

Roxas

It was way too late to call, she'd probably been asleep for hours. Roxas looked at the clock, 2am. No one in their right minds would want a phone call this time of night. But she had promised, and Roxas couldn't face just sitting alone all night. He grasped his phone and jammed in the numbers quickly before the guilt kicked in. After a few moments the phone was picked up and there was a lazy answer.

"Hey Kairi it's Roxas. I know it's really late but I was wondering-"

"I'll be right there"

It was lucky they lived so close to each other, she had joked after she arrived 5 minutes later. After all anyone who saw her would have been slightly bemused as to why she was walking the streets at night in her pyjamas with a bottle of coke and some Milky Ways under her arm. She swore the caffeine in the coke would help he see things a bit clearer, however no explanation was given for the Milky Ways other than they helped with anything. Roxas wasn't so sure about this but he picked up his third one anyway. Maybe they couldn't save his emotional state but they sure did taste good.

"So, there are a few explanations for this I guess" Kairi mused "Unfortunately there aren't many good ones. I mean he either decided he wanted to be a jerk and go of with some girls instead of you, stood you up and just happened to be in that place at that time, got drunk before he arrived and forgot how to act like a human being, or other"

Roxas just nodded, he'd pretty much covered all of them himself "It could be any of them, but I'm pretty sure he was very drunk. He's always claimed to be an amazing dancer but he was all other the place last night."

"I don't get it, why would he do this to you right now, when everything was going so well. I've never spoken to him but from what you said yesterday everything seemed to be going great."

"It was, that's why I don't get it. I guess I was just being naïve or something." Roxas sighed, since Kairi arrived 2 hours ago they'd already managed to rationalize everything and Roxas didn't feel quite as bad anymore. He didn't want to lose Axel, the thought of it hurt like hell. But he hadn't wanted to lose his mum either. Since that day he had become stronger, found it easier to walk away from people. It never stopped hurting, but life was for living and you couldn't spend every minute in regret. You could never stop missing people, never stop caring, but you could move on and, if they were truly lost to you, you could do the one thing they could no longer do in their memory. You could live. And if you were lucky, you could hope that that those close to you could look on and feel proud. Kairi just smiled, sometimes she knew him too well, she could tell when he was thinking about his mum instantly. Somehow since college had started he'd grown closer to her and drifted away from Naminé. Right now he was just glad to have a good friend, because a good friend would always be there, even if it meant waking at stupid hours of the morning.

"I just hope you can be happy Roxas, if anyone deserves it then it's you"

"I was, I just need to find a way to get it back"

When Roxas woke up it was around noon, though he couldn't remember falling asleep. Kairi was still sleeping in his armchair so he left her and made some tea. They'd been talking for a long time last night and now he was no longer upset that Axel had betrayed him. He was angry, and didn't really want to see that stupid cocky face ever again but eventually that would fade and he'd just feel nothing. While the kettle began to boil he text Sora to let him know where Kairi was in case he panicked and began a rescue mission. Kairi walked in the kitchen, rubbing her eyes but smiling at him.

"Got any plans for today?" She asked sleepily.

"Yeah, got a huge deadline coming up soon, so I'm in the library all day working away."

"You should get your own computer; it must be annoying to always go to the library"

Roxas just shrugged "I don't mind it there, its quiet and I always get half price because I used to work there"

"Makes sense I guess, well have fun. The fair's on later and Sora just has to go on every ride or the small child in him will surely wither and die, and we don't want that." Roxas laughed as Kairi rolled her eyes, she may act like she found Sora annoying but it was clear that she really cared about him.

"I'm sure you'll love it, who doesn't love over priced candy floss and painful rides"

"Always, enjoy your essays" she grinned and went upstairs to get dressed. 20 minutes later she had left with a way too excited Sora and Roxas made for the library. Time to waste the day away writing about dead poets.

Axel

My phone kept bleeping with random messages from Larxene and Luxord and some strangers. Larxene kept asking me to call her so we could meet again tonight, Luxord kept talking about strange things that happened last night, though knowing his memory he was probably referring to a dream he had when he got home. And as for the strangers, I have got to learn not to give random girls my number when I'm drunk. Why do they always feel the need to use it? I got 9 numbers last night and have I phoned any of those girls? Of course I haven't! That would be crazy, who gives away their number and actually wants that person to call them. I needed some fresh air, maybe that would make the phone shut up for a minute. Plus I needed a game plan. I knew that it was probably a lost cause to focus on Roxas but I couldn't help it. There was something about him, I couldn't just let him go. Maybe I was just stubborn, that's what my witch grandma used to call me anyway. Suited me just fine, anything that annoyed that old bag was fine in my books. I figured the best plan was to check all his haunts and see if I could casually bump into him. I doubted he would want to speak to me but I could be very insistent at times. The library seemed like a logical choice, I remember him talking about some coursework deadline coming up a few days a go. I also knew he didn't have his own computer which is why he spent so much time there. I didn't think there were many famous love scenes set in a library but someone had to start the trend. I didn't have much confidence in my plans but anything was worth a shot. If he hated my guts then I guess I deserved that, but if he somehow forgave me then…then I was an extremely lucky guy. In my state of daydream I was a bit shocked to walk into someone. I apologised and helped them to pick up their books, not really noticing who it was. So I was a bit surprised to find this person frozen when I tried to hand back the books. And it's fair to say I was more than a little when I looked into the wide blue eyes staring at me in disbelief.

Oh boy

Naminé

"Hey, hey kid are you okay?"

She couldn't think of anything to say at all. There he was, the source of most her problems. Limply holding out her books, his face twisted in annoyance. He clearly recognised her and he didn't look too pleased to see her.

"Hey, hellooo. Anyone in there? Do you want your books back or not?" His voice was tinted with annoyance. She blinked and quickly tried to pull herself together.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't playing much attention" she somehow managed to stumble out some words that sounded faintly normal. Axel just grunted in confirmation, he looked like he wanted to get away as quick as possible. Kairi had phoned earlier to fill her in on all the details from the night before. She didn't know why, all she really knew was that Axel and Roxas were no longer having anything to do with each other.

"What happened with you and Roxas?" she blurted the question out before she had a chance to think about it. What the hell was wrong with her? She would never normally dream of asking a question like that! And yet, since yesterday she felt like a different person. She thought getting her feelings into the open would help her jealously, when she learnt that it was a one way thing she would finally begin to get over it. But it didn't work. After telling Roxas she suddenly felt like she needed him even more, desperate for him to hold her and smile at her. To know he was hers. And then when Kairi had told her that Axel had pretty much cheated on Roxas she felt her heart lift. It was awful to feel happy at her best friend's misery but she couldn't help it. And here Axel was standing right in front of her, the bane of all her problems. And she had just asked the most ridiculous question.

His frown darkened into a scowl "Surely you know the answer to that; it is down to you after all"

She blinked in surprise; she had no clue what he was on about.

"Don't try and feign innocence Naminé, it's okay I saw the pictures of you two in the garden." The garden? What on earth was he talking about? Unless…someone had seen her and Roxas yesterday. And more than that, they had taken photos. She inwardly thanked the weirdo who was taking pictures of college kids and did the worst thing a friend could possibly do.

"Oh, well I'm sorry you had to find out that way Axel. Roxas was going to tell you soon, we'd talked about how best to tell you all day. He was going to break it to you when you met up last night. You see we've known each other for so long and both always liked each other. It was just inevitable that we would end up together one day. I guess you were just the catalyst that set us off." If she wasn't the one talking she'd be amazed at the hideous lying that was spurting out of her mouth. What the hell had possessed her to say that? Before, even when Axel had mentioned the pictures, there had been a glimmer of hope in his eyes. Like he was waiting for her to tell him it was all a misunderstanding. Which of course it was, but she couldn't say those words out loud. She'd had the perfect chance to fix her best friends relationship and she'd blown it due to her own jealousy. She excused herself and walked past Axel, ignoring the look of defeat in his face. She sang gently to herself on the way home, happy that she had a chance at last. Of course the guilt would come, it always did. But until then she could happily ride on her own personal bubble. Jealousy always was her vice.

Roxas

He stared fruitlessly at the text book page in front of him before realising he hadn't taken in a single word and set to work re reading it. He normally quite liked history, it was one of his favourite subjects but today he just couldn't get working. No matter how many times he told himself he didn't care about certain people, they kept creeping back into his mind. He was angry, that was a sure truth. In fact, the more he allowed his thoughts to dwell on it the more annoyed he became. How dare Axel do that to him? Okay so he seemed like a bit of a cocky bastard from the start, but he didn't seem like a fucking cocky bastard. And he was really starting to open up, to stop pretending everything was okay. But what did that stupid red head do? He went and found some cheap slags to pass the time with. Why should Roxas give a second thought to an idiot like that? That phrase was so easy to repeat over and over but believing it seemed to be taking a lot more effort. Because at the end of the day he had cared for Axel, more than he had ever cared for anyone else. He thought he was ready to start a proper relationship with him, and that had been stolen away last minute. Of course it was probably for the best; better to find out now than later when things got too deep. But that didn't stop it hurting. Outside the heavens had suddenly split open, the rain was coming down really heavy. People were crowded around the doors, wanting to leave but not quite willing to receive the instant soaking that was guaranteed with weather like this. Roxas just stared out the window, watching the raindrops race down the pane of glass, part of him desperate to step outside and let the rain soak him. There was nothing more clarifying than having rain attack your face and soak through all your clothes. He almost got up to leave, jut for 5 minutes but he noticed someone from the corner of his eye. They were staring at him, though glaring might be a more appropriate term, and it was clear they'd been doing so for a while A hood was obscuring most of their face, only cold eyes and a mouth twisted into a wicked smile were visible. The figure caught his eye and, just as Roxas was debating whether to run for it, they sauntered over to him. He felt slightly panicky, even though he was in a public place surrounded by people. Slowly they lowered their hood and smirked at Roxas' expression. It was one of the last people he'd expected to see.

Larxene

Roxas' expression was hilarious, believe me. You'd think I ate babies from the way he stared at me. I mean sure I'd never exactly been that nice to him but I never went out of my way to be nasty either. He wasn't worth the effort. I had to remind myself why I was even wasting time on him today. The pitiful phone call from Axel earlier, all whiney and defeated. It was just annoying. Apparently he'd met Naminé out and decided he never wanted to go out again. So here I was, Dr Larxene, cleaning up everyone's mess. Okay so sure some of it was my fault but why was everyone so over sensitive. But Axel was a friend and I refused to hear him moping for the next few months.

"Hey Roxas, come sit down with me. We can have a nice little chat" damn kid looked like he wanted to make a run for it any second now. "Hey sit your arse down before I find over ways of making you listen." I scowled as he hesitated, but lowered himself down onto a chair. God I don't know why he was so worried, its not like I could inflict much damage on him in such a public place.

"What do you want Larxene? I'm kinda busy right now" he was frowning, sitting on the edge of his seat as if ready for a quick get away.

"Yeah well whatever you gotta do can wait. This is way more important. I need to ask you about these" I pulled my phone out, the screen slightly scratched due to Axel throwing it yesterday. I pressed the right buttons and bought up the photo I'd taken yesterday. "Explain this then kid"

His eyes widened slightly as he stared closer at the picture.

"When did you take this? No that's a stupid question, obviously yesterday. But how….and why?" he looked flustered, I didn't realise I'd taken him by surprise, I figured he'd know this was why Axel wasn't speaking to him.

"What do you mean how, I pressed this little button here you idiot" I gestured to the phone "you were too, ahem, preoccupied to notice. And Axel's my friend; I'm not going to let you hurt him quite so easily. He had a right to know about this"

"But, you don't understand, I wasn't kissing Naminé, she was kissing me"

I raised an eyebrow, of course he'd say something like that. It was easy to pin the blame on someone else after all. He just looked me in the eye, a ghost of a smile passing his lips.

"Of course you don't believe me, why should you? It's not like we know each other" I was about to snap back with an amazingly witty retort but something in my expression stopped. He looked lost and confused. Just like the kind of people I loved to torment. Yet the bitch inside me wasn't attacking this vulnerable soul. Good God, I was going soft!

"Okay Roxas, you got one chance so tell me the whole story and don't miss a thing out" My voice came out snappier than I'd intended; maybe I wasn't completely unbitchy yet. He looked me directly in the eye and told me everything that had happened the day before. I knew he was telling me the truth, he wouldn't dare lie to me. I just listened like a good girl, not even making one malicious comment the whole time. It took a lot of effort.

"Well that's just dandy!" Hey a girl was allowed some sarcasm "You can go and tell Axel that dramatic tale and then you can get back together and everything will be wonderful. Hell maybe we'll even see a rainbow in the distance"

"No"

I stared at him in disbelief "I'm sorry what? You can't just say no. Axel won't stop moping over you, go make him feel better!"

"I said no, I'm not talking to him again. He's out of my life now" he looked down at his hands, his voice wasn't very convincing.

"But why? It's obvious you're both grossly crazy about each other" This kid was beginning to piss me off, the one time in my life I'm nice and it was going wrong!

"If he cared about me he would have come and asked for the truth himself. He clearly doesn't trust me at all and he sure got over me quickly"

"Well what do you expect? Think about it from his point of view. There he was getting all close to some annoying innocent brat, that's you by the way, and then he see's him making kissy faces with his best friend. You try dealing with that"

"I'm not arguing with you Larxene, he should have come to see me as soon as he found out and he didn't. I was just a fling to him so that's how I'm going to treat him. I have to go now, don't bother trying to stop me"

I couldn't believe it. That little bastard. I swear to god if my best friend wasn't in love with him then I would wring that scrawny little neck with all my strength. How dare he walk away from me? After I was trying to hard to be nice! Why were he and Axel so stubborn? Everyone else knew they were crazy about each other, so why the hell did they both keep lying to themselves. Stupid pricks.

Axel

I was getting really sick of this now. Why can't a guy walk around in public without meeting everyone he wanted to avoid? Wasn't it bad enough that I'd had to have seen Naminé who just went a confirmed all my fears. No obviously not, because there in front of me was Roxas' other friends, Kairi and her boyfriend. The powers that be must really hate my guts today. At least they looked nice and surprised to see me; the Sora kid dropped his candyfloss. Any other day it would have been funny but today I wasn't in the mood. I tried to push past, desperate to get home but the girl grabbed my arm and dragged me towards a café

"We need to talk Axel, sit and Sora will get us some coffee" Sora blinked and hurried up to the counter while Kairi sat opposite me.

"Look sorry kid but I can't be bothered" I went to stand up "I know the deal so why waste my time here when I could be doing something interesting"

"Wait a second! You don't get out of it that easily. I don't think you've got the story completely right somehow, and I don't think Roxas does either. So tell me what you know"

"What's there to tell, my friend showed me a picture of him kissing Naminé, I met her earlier and she confirmed it." I shrugged, not really wanting to think about it. Kairi just looked at me blankly.

"What are you talking about? Naminé kissed Roxas because she's always liked him, but it didn't mean anything."

"Then why did the lovely Naminé tell me they were a couple an hour ago"

"Because Naminé can be a lying jealous cow at times"

"Kairi!" Sora almost spat his coffee out in shock and I was close to joining him. From what Roxas had told me Kairi was supposedly a very nice person.

"Well it's true!" she exclaimed "Come in Sora you've got to admit she's become pretty snappy since Axel came along. She's always had a thing for Roxas, I just didn't realise she was willing to use such dirty tactics to get to him." Sora was nodding now as if he understood everything, but I was clueless as hell.

"Sorry could you run this all by me again, you know the guy who hasn't been friends with you for his whole life"

"It's not too complicated, Naminé's always had a bit if a thing for Roxas but Roxas never really cared. Then you came along and she became insanely jealous, jealous enough to lie to you and break you and Roxas up for good" Kairi smiled, presumably she had no issues against me. But I barely noticed. I knew it was stupid, I shouldn't be like this. But I felt happy, no more than that, I felt fucking elated! Of course I'd have to do something about Naminé one day but first things first I had to go win my Roxy back. It was never too late in this game, and I'd already been upset over this, a bit more couldn't hurt if I failed. Roxas was worth fighting for after all. I said as much to his two friends who just laughed and helped me devise a plan. It was perfect. He was going to kill me of course, but it was going to work, I just knew it.

"Do me a favour" Kairi asked as she handed me her spare key to Roxas' apartment "Cheer my best friend up"

I just grinned, my old spark was returning "You can count on me; I am the master at cheering attractive Roxie's after all"

Each step I took towards to apartment stole part of my confidence, but I couldn't give up. I always was a do or die kind of guy. Still I doubted he'd be happy that I was letting myself in. I just hoped he wouldn't call the police.

My heart beating faster, I pushed the key into the lock and turned.

Roxas

He was curled up on the sofa with that book he'd be meaning to read for months now. God knows why as it was pretty awful but it made the time pass. It was getting gradually darker but he couldn't find the resolve to walk across the room and turn on the light. He would stay in the dark until the words were no longer readable, then he'd think about moving. He was still annoyed from seeing Larxene earlier, she had no business telling him how to live his life, she wasn't even a friend. He knew that when he woke up in the morning he'd be slightly more rational and see that she was just trying to help Axel out as a friend, but right now he just felt like being pissed off with everyone. Even Naminé was in his bad books right now, he didn't blame her for the situation, she was just a pain at times. She'd called him earlier to say she knew everything that had happened and how sorry she was. Of course she had good intentions but Roxas didn't want to be constantly reminded that he had been basically dumped 24 hours ago. She'd sounded upset when he'd briskly told her he was busy and rung off but he couldn't find the energy to care. Again, maybe tomorrow he'd call and apologise. He went to turn the page when he realised he hadn't taking in a single word and set about re reading it. It was about the 6th time when he'd just skimmed the page through distraction but he was determined to at least finish the chapter. He sighed as he realised his book had reached its compulsory love scene. And of course someone just had to creep into his head. This was getting ridiculous he thought as he placed the book down. He didn't even want to fall in love, it just seemed over rated. Most people just split up and got their hearts broken anyway. Maybe he was a cynic but he couldn't help finding it pointless. Or at least he always used to. But now he had a damn slight harder job convincing himself. Once again he cursed the person who had entered his life and ruined everything. He sat there on the floor in silence, head buried in his hands, until he heard the door open. Frowning he pulled himself up, the only person who had a key was Kairi, but she normally rung first. The living room door opened slowly and the intruder stepped in. Roxas could only sink back onto the sofa and stare back bitterly. Could life get any more complicated?

Axel

"What the hell are you doing here?"

Well I guess it was the reception I deserved; I knew he wouldn't be happy to see me. That didn't stop the pure malice in his voice hitting hard. The coward in me wanted to run and never look back, walk away from my hopeless mission. But I wouldn't, I couldn't. He was still glaring at me, as if he was waiting for something. Oh shit I was supposed to talk now, not just stand there like and idiot. I had to say something that would show him I was serious and that he meant a lot to me.

"I err need to talk to you" Oh real smooth Axel, you'll win him over than way for sure.

"There's nothing to say" he shrugged. Once again part of me felt like agreeing and leaving.

"You know there is Roxas, you can't just leave things the way they are, that's not how normal people respond to problems"

"I can do what I bloody well like Axel, it's my flat. And on that note how the hell did you get in here"

Oh crap "Kairi gave me her spare key" he was gonna be pissed off at that but there was nothing I could do, I'd apologise to Kairi later for dropping her in it. I looked up and saw Roxas was indeed rather pissed. Man this was not working.

"Why would she… what the hell did you blackmail her with?" It was probably a bad time to notice but god he was really attractive when he was angry.

"She was the one who suggested I come here! She told me what really happened and sent me here to talk to you"

"I know what really happened Axel, I met Larxene earlier and she explained everything" he still didn't look to happy so I got the feeling I wasn't off the hook yet.

"Then why do you still look like you want to kill me?" I asked meekly, regretting this idea on so many levels.

"I don't care that you got upset over the pictures, I can hardly blame you. But you didn't trust me enough to come and find out the truth yourself; you just went along with Larxene and got pissed out of your head."

"I know that was wrong but do you know how awful I felt when I woke up!" my voice was beginning to get louder and it looked like this may turn into a big shouting fit soon if we were unlucky.

"Not bad enough to come and see me I guess" he hesitated slowly; maybe I could get through to him after all.

"I was going to Roxas, but I met your cute little buddy Naminé on the way to your place and she told me that you were the latest hot couple. I'm sorry but that's just a little bit off putting don't you think?"

"Naminé said that? But she knows that I don't feel that way." He looked bewildered, I was winning at last. Or at least I thought I was. Until he went and shook his head dismissively. "It doesn't matter, I've made up my mind here Axel. I'm sorry but goodbye."

I froze for a moment. What was he saying? That wasn't fair! He couldn't do this to me.

"What about everything that's happened over the last few weeks? Didn't it mean anything to you?" I sounded pathetic but it's pretty much how I felt so it was okay. He just shrugged.

"It'll be a good memory" he said softly.

And then something snapped. As soon as he said that I felt my old self begin to come back, the part of me that saw a cute looking boy in the library and made it my goal to have him. Besides, we still had a bet going on. And I never lost a bet.

Roxas

He felt awful, nothing could have prepared him for how hard this was. But he was doing the right thing, he had to be. He picked up the book and opened it to a random page, hoping Axel would get the hint and leave. It was too hard to have him standing over there.

"No"

Roxas looked up in surprise, not understanding what Axel meant. Or why he was even still there. Axel let out a small smirk and looked him in the eye.

"No, I will not become a memory. That's not how I work Roxy" before Roxas could reply Axel had already moved to the sofa and pinned the blonde down by the arms.

"Axel get the hell off of me! I've said what I wanted so get out of here" Roxas squirmed, trying to get loose but Axel's stick like arms had a surprisingly strong grip.

"Don't be stupid Roxas, we're not finished here and you know it. You just need to get your head out of the clouds and admit it." Axel was now practically on top of Roxas, his face way too close for comfort.

"You're wrong Axel, we are finished now leave me alone" Nothing Roxas was saying seemed to affect the red head, if anything it was encouraging him. He tried once more to push him off but no such luck. All he received for his troubles was a full frontal attack from Axel's lips. Every muscle in Roxas' body chose that moment to freeze and it took a lot of effort not to kiss the idiot back. Axel pulled back and smiled down and Roxas. This smile wasn't as cocky as before though.

"Fine Roxas, you want to be able to trust me then fine. I'll answer your stupid question, though I'm sure you know the answer. No, I'm not happy with my life. I thought I was, I thought I had it pretty sweet, but then you came along and made me realise that there's more I could be doing with my life. But now you've left me with a problem."

Roxas felt speechless, this was all he'd wanted yesterday, the words he was waiting for to take everything a step further. But he didn't expect to hear them at a time like that.

"What problem?" he asked, trying to force his hormones to behave themselves.

"You see, you're the one who made me realise I'm not happy. But I need you to make me happy. I don't want to do this without you Roxas, you've made me look at my whole life a different way and I think you owe me big time for that. Oh plus there's the teensy issue that I might be falling in love with you and-" Roxas didn't let him finish the sentence. His lips had decided they'd had enough waiting and were putting themselves to good use. This time Axel pulled away in surprise.

"Well I thought you'd take a bit more persuading than that, but hell I'm not arguing." This time his smile was that of someone who was stupidly pleased with themselves.

"Well I had to get you to shut up somehow" Roxas said, pretty sure his smile was similar to Axel's.

"I don't know, I think I could talk all night long"

"God forbid" Roxas said laughing and pulling Axel back down. Maybe this wasn't how it was supposed to go, back when the hell did life ever? And this way was much more fun to live with.

End note

Ooooo first ever end note alert, does this mean the stories over? Sure seems over?

Well I'm afraid not guys, like I promised one more chapter to go but this chapter is essentially the end of the main story; the next chapter is more of an epilogue if anything. No drama, no fights, just a nice chapter that was originally going to be one of the dates but didn't really fit in with the story. Oh a slight hitch you guys probably won't hear much from me and I won't be writing again until after June 11th because from now until then I have my GCSE exams (fun) I cant be wasting time writing, I have to start getting serious, But as soon as there over I'll start again, writing the epilogue and starting a new fic. Thanks for reading so far everyone, you're reviews have meant so much to me it's really quite pathetic.

Ciao (I have always wanted to use that word ^-^)
