ROXAS

"Hey there Roxy!" Axel exclaimed then yanked me into his apartment. "Don't just stand there! Come in!" He let me go once I was a good ten feet in. (AN: Raise your hand if you just thought of something naughty heheheheheh!) He nearly yanked my arm out of the socket!

"Did you have to dislocate my elbow?" I snapped then jerked my arm to pop said elbow.

"Sorry about that. So what took you so long at the bookstore?" Axel asked as he ambled over to his sofa and sat down. I followed his actions.

"Truthfully? I started reading." I answered sheepishly. Axel laughed.

"Geeze Roxy you're such a bookworm."

"Shut up. I am not."

"And I'm the Boogie Man."

"Look here you!" I started but he just cut me off. "Want something to drink?"

"Don't change the subject."

"Soda it is!" Axel shot up from the couch and strolled into the kitchen. When he came back he handed me a coke then sat back down with a coke of his own.

"Well?" I said then raised an eyebrow.

"Well what?"

"Don't play dumb. Are you gonna answer that stupid riddle you left me or what?"

"What riddle? Maybe you should recite it to refresh my memory." Axel said then cracked a grin.

"I find nothing funny about this at all. Here. This riddle right here." I shoved the paper in his face. He gasped then looked at me with mock pain.

"Roxy you could have given my beautiful face a paper cut!" He fake sobbed.

"Oh boo hoo. Answer the damn riddle."

"What has four arms, four legs and one set of lips?"

"It would be nice if you told me already!" I snapped.

"Spiders!" Axel exclaimed, clapping his hands in delight. What. The. Fuck. What the fuck. Whathtefuck. SPIDERS?! He wanted me to go hunt down a spider for another clue? A nasty-creepy-crawly-makes-me-itch-just-hearing-about-it spider? (AN: am I the only one who gets the heebies jeebies from those little bastards?)

"Spiders? How is that a clue?"

"It's not. I was just trying to be funny."

"Spiders don't even have lips. They have pedipalps." Axel stared at me like I had just sprouted a few extra heads.

"Why do you even know that?" He asked after a long silence. "Because unlike you, I read and am actually smart." I replied.

"Ouch. You wound me so Roxy."

"So do you have another clue for me or something? If not, I need to get home to check on my dog. She's sick and I need to make sure Sora didn't blow anything up. He's home alone tonight because my aunt works at a different office farther away on Fridays."

"No, I don't have a clue… I have the answer to your question." Axel said then locked his gaze on the carpet.

"Okay finally! What is it?"

"Well… hmm how do I start…?"

"Now would be nice."

"Shush. I'm thinking….. Okay so you wanna know what that whole episode was about yea?"

"Yes. Get on with it."

"Well…. It was about who I like."

"Oh? Do I know them?"

"I guess you could say that…" Axel began fidgeting with the hem of his shirt, reminding me of Sora.

"So who is she? Olette? Ohmigosh you like Olette!" I yelled, jumping to my feet.

"What?! No! And will you sit down?"

"Sorry… got carried away there." I said sheepishly then settled back on the couch.

"Well… it's not exactly a she…" Axel trailed off.

"So it's a guy? Okay go on."

"You know him really well."

"We covered that. Axel will you just spit it out! Who do you like?"

Axel looked up at me and his face was beet red. It was the apocalypse! The apocalypse I tell you! I've never seen Axel blush that much! Nuh-uh. NEVER. He was darker that his fucking HAIR! I didn't think that level of blushosity was possible!

"Roxas."

"What?"

"Roxas!"

"What! What is it?"

"God you don't get it do you?"

"Well maybe if you didn't go off babbling my name I would get it!"

Axel rolled his eyes then reached over and grabbed me by the arms, dragging me over to him.

"I'm sure even this will get through your thick blond skull." He said. Then what does he do?

He kisses me.

Nyaaaa! I couldn't wait to get this out! It was kicking my brain's ass until I wrote it! Heh heh aren't I horrible for the cliffy? Hahahaha I know I am.

About that thing with the spidy bitey parts…. I remember that from biology. That was the worst lesson (besides dissections!) because I absolutely HATE spiders! I had to go to wikipedia to make sure I had it spelled right and I nearly overturned my monitor! They had friggin spider pics plastered EVERYWHERE! I HATE SPIDERS! Spidyman is an exception. Enough of my ramblings.

Review please and thank you!

Yours (who's still miffed about those blasted spiders, and I just spotted one on the wall –smush!-)
