Chapter 12: Life's a Beach
A/N: If you have forgotten, this is the time skip chapter. So don't be confused if things seem out of place concerning dates or how Axel and Roxas communicate now because it's supposed to be more mature and they're supposed to be getting ready for summer. Umm … yeah that's all I have to say. Enjoy and review.
Warnings: Language, dirty dreams, Larxene's violence

Alex-Is-Elldisa- 1. I do too 2. Yay, I'm not alone! Glad to know you love the story, it inspires me to keep writing!
KasaixKaru- I have the same feeling when I'm mentioned by other authors XD Roxas molestation FTW! Thanks for the review!
P5hng-Me-A'wy- Thank you! I'm glad it was something since it definitely wasn't scary …
4LLi3- Who isn't obsessed with Nyan-cat? I saw one at a convention and almost glomped it. Thanks for the review, though, I'm happy to know my fanfiction makes people laugh. And it'll play out very strangely …
XxXxX
I remember talking to Axel about how he fell for me and how he knew he was gay. He told me that when he was around fourteen, he experimented with guys because girls seemed to bore at times. I don't know how with all their drama but anyway, he said from then on that he still dated girls but also dated guys (so basically he's bi). He figured it was confirmed when with a guy when he was sixteen years old. Then he told me that when he saw me, none of that mattered because he knew falling in love with me would be inevitable (his exact words). Yeah, it's cheesy but it's kind of sweet. When I asked him how he fell for me, he said he couldn't explain it. It was like he felt a connection with me from the moment we met. I didn't bother to tell him I had too and had just ignored it because I'm pretty sure he had figured that out. When he asked me the same questions, there wasn't really much for me to say. I figured I was gay since girls never interested or excited me the way guys would. As for the second question, I didn't really know how to answer that. I'm not sure when I fell in love with Axel but I knew that I was being petty when I tried to hate him. He agreed before kissing me on the nose and telling me that he was glad I decided to let myself love him.
Right now, though, I was a little preoccupied with his tongue against my own, matching our naked bodies. His hands roamed everywhere from stroking my face to pinching my nipples as he grounded his hips into mine almost painfully before rocking them against me steadily, sending waves of pleasure through my body. His hands traced patterns down my arms and sides lightly before ending on my hips. The air was heavy and so was our breathing though he never stopped kissing me. He rocked our hips together a few more times before his lips left mine to attack my neck, collar, chest, stomach, and—
I woke up.
Crap.
You wanna know the worst part? Axel slept over. How awkward is that? I peeked at his face and it looked as peaceful as ever which I took as him being asleep and snuck out of the bed quietly. Personally I would've felt better if he had planned this with me instead of sneaking in through my window (how he managed that without setting off an alarm, I'll never figure out). And once again, Naminé demonstrated her creepiness by calling both me and Axel down to dinner last night. She was cooking as an apology because she had to leave today of all days on another month long trip. Today … bringing my thoughts back to that dream. I know it was basically my subconscious screaming at me 'Roxas, you need to get laid' but I wasn't ready to lose my virginity yet. I know it's a bonding experience and that it should feel good but I'm not exactly looking forward to having a dick shoved up my ass! Not that I don't trust Axel but that's the only thing about being gay that bums me out. I should stop being a baby and just accept it but it's not something I want to rush into. I do kind of wish I was ready today though. Any other day, if I told Axel I was ready he'd jump me. But today, he would probably set up entire day to be a very romantic 'us' day then at night set up a blanket on the beach and make love to me under the moonlight. Bless his romantic heart (he's so cheesy).
Anyway, as nice as that sounds, Roxas Jr. needs to calm down for a bit so I turned my shower settings to cold and stripped once I got into the bathroom. Once I stepped in the spray though, I knew I wouldn't get away with this. For some strange reason, I never get warm. I'm always cold unless the temperature is like one hundred degrees outside or something. I guess it's a good thing Axel is always super warm. But the fact that the moment I got into the shower, I felt like I was going to die from hypothermia and the fact that I couldn't stop thinking about Axel kind of made the cold water pointless so I turned the settings to warm and poised my hand over my erection to get rid of it manually. Of course, as if on cue, Axel walks into the bathroom just then. It wasn't long after I got into the shower so I probably woke him up. Thankfully, my shower curtain isn't see through so we can avoid that embarrassing situation. Then I heard the toilet seat lift and I couldn't get the image of a naked Axel out of my head. I had to look … okay no I didn't but curiosity killed the cat and I needed my satisfaction to bring me back. I peeked through the space between the edge of the shower curtain and the wall to see Axel standing there whistling to himself as he did his business. Then my eyes travelled down as he finished and—holy shit. Is … is that really gonna fit? I mean, I figured he might be pretty well endowed but … seriously? It's not like some kind of monstrosity or something but it's definitely bigger than average. I'd be blushing if the blood wasn't rushing elsewhere. Good thing Axel's too distracted by that stupid wallpaper to notice my gawking. I wonder why he always stares at it, I mean, I know it's stupid but when I begged Naminé to take it down a few years ago she counterattacked with a 'if you love me, you'll keep it'. At least it's not pink.
Anyway, it seems I've reached a dilemma. I'm still hard as a rock and I can't do anything about it because Axel's busy taking his sweet time in here. First he washes his hands as slowly as he possibly could, then left the water on to brush his teeth. I was practically glaring at the shower curtain. It's just too awkward of an idea to try and—
"You know, if you have to masturbate I don't really care."
…
How did he …?
"You were poking me this morning. And you're not very good at sneaking out of bed, your floor creaks," he sighed as if he'd read the question in my mind.
"Then why don't you do it or me, since apparently this isn't such an awkward situation for you," I mumbled, hoping he didn't hear. He did.
I heard him chuckle lightly before mumbling back, "Yeah, why don't I?"
I shoved my face through the opening between the shower curtain and the wall to glare at him. He just stared back evenly, though the ghost of a smirk was on his lips. We kept the staring contest up for about a minute or two before I rolled my eyes and scoffed.
"Get out," I grumbled as I retreated back behind the shower curtain. He laughed again, except much louder before I heard his footsteps. I peeked into the bathroom one more time to see him standing in the doorway facing away from me.
"One more thing …"
I waited for the words I knew were about to exit his mouth.
"Happy birthday Roxas," he said before continuing down the hall and back to my room.
Yep, it's March thirteenth and today is my sixteenth birthday. And I've got a beach trip to plan.
XxXxX
"So, how's this going to work again?" I tried to ask around the waffle Axel shoved in my mouth. Anytime he's in the vicinity, he never lets anyone else cook. It's either his food or take-out. And take-out's usually not an option unless he's being lazy.
"We're heading to Demyx's place to get the full details, but apparently Larxene agreed to drive us to the beach and Zell's paying for the hotel," Axel answered, positioning another slice at my mouth.
"Why's Larxene taking us?" I asked after swallowing the first piece. Axel took my question as an opportunity to shove the next piece in.
"Because she's the only one willing to pay for the amount of gas it takes to get us there. She's taking some of us in her car and the rest will go in Luxord's truck."
"I hope I at least end up in Luxord's car. I'd rather listen to him ramble than listen to Larxene bitch …" I mumbled after swallowing another piece of waffle. Axel gave me the next slice.
"I agree but Larxene's ride will be less crowded because she's not trying to stuff too many people and too many things into such a small space," Axel murmured back.
I huffed at that statement because as annoying as it is, it's still true. With Axel being so tall, he'll need as much space as he can get.
"You'll stay with me right?" Axel asked, flashing the puppy dog eyes that only seemed to intensify the shining green color that they are.
"Yes, yes, Axel. I'll stay with you," I sighed, wanting to roll my eyes but knowing he'll scold me for it. He told me once 'Roxas, one day your eyeballs are going to roll out of your head. Then what will you do?' and I responded with 'Probably slap whoever annoyed me'. That shut him up.
Anyway …
"Well, after you're finished, brush your teeth and let's roll!" he exclaimed whilst clapping his hands twice enthusiastically. Is it weird that I brush my teeth before and after breakfast? Probably. I only do it when I have time so mostly school days are out. And we've got spring break for the week so that would also explain the beach trip.
I dragged myself upstairs, Axel keeping behind me so I wouldn't trip over my own pajama pants (it's happened before) and crack my skull. Once we got into the bathroom , I started brushing thoroughly because waffles, pancakes, and any other type of cake always gets stuck in my teeth. Axel was leaning against the door frame, his eyes on me before they started to wander to the wallpaper again. It got annoying after a while. I finally rinsed my mouth and turned to glare at him.
"Axel, I know the wallpaper is baby blue with a bunch of fucking faeries on it but will you please quit staring at it?"
XxXxX
If there's one thing anyone should know about Larxene, it's that she doesn't take crap from anyone. Any of her boyfriends before and including Luxord can tell you the same thing. There are a few rules for dealing with Larxene: rule one- no one breaks up with her, it's always the other way around. Rule two- if you piss her off, be ready to pay for the consequences. Rule three- if she wants Larxene alone time then for the sake of your soul, leave her alone! Rule four- if Larxene is being kind, don't take it for granted or she may rip you apart and always remember to thank her. Rule five- what Larxene wants, Larxene gets.
It's always useful to write stuff like this down and if not then get it memorized (as Axel says). These rules were important because today, not only was Larxene driving everyone to the beach but she was also throwing me a beach party. This is the type of kindness Larxene rarely gives without a price so basically everyone was worshipping the fact that my birthday hit spring break.
Hell, I was too.
"So, you have everything ready?" Axel asked me as we checked over all of our packed suitcases. Well most of them were Naminé's but Reno pitched in too.
"Yeah, let's go."
One thing you should know about Demyx … he's reliable for just about anything. I mean, his dad's car is officially named 'carpool'. If anyone needs a ticket to one of Zell's concerts, call Demyx. If anyone needs to contact Zexion, call Demyx. If anyone needs a random hug, call Demyx. I've never called him for that, I already have Axel. So the ride to Demyx's was filled with chatter (from Ax and Dem for the most part) and suitcases. Yeah, it was crowded but at least someone (ahemAxel) wasn't complaining about gas. … I guess I could always ask Naminé for a car but I've already established how I feel about being spoiled and God knows what I'll do if she gets me a Porsche or something.
By the time we got there, everyone else was already standing out front, Larxene standing at the very front. The moment I got out of the car, Larxene grabbed me.
"Aww, look at you! Aren't you so adorably, frikkin cute! How old are you now, six?" she spazzed as she squeezed the life out of me in her own twisted version of a hug.
"Sixteen, you psycho!" I wheezed and her grip on me got tighter. For the record, she knows how old I am. She's just looking for an excuse to bring pain and violence into the world … and I won't hit a girl so I can't force her off me.
"What was that runt?" she asked through clenched teeth and a creepy smile.
"I'm turning sixteen today, your highness …" I sighed sarcastically.
"Well that's just dandy! Aren't you such a cutie pie? I just wanna eat you up!"
Oh fuck … someone help.
Thankfully, Axel pulled me out of her grasp.
"Mine," he said, holding me close and sticking his tongue out at her. Her only response was a roll of her eyes before she started motioning us towards the car in front and Luxord's truck behind it.
"Okay, Demyx you're up front with me because you have the map and the schedule. Zexion, you can sit in the back with Axel and Roxas, you'll all fit since bluenette and the birthday boy are shorter than me. Sora, Riku, Xion, and Kairi, you're all with Luxord in the truck. No one sits in the back because that's for luggage and all that other shit. My trunk is off limits so no stuffing crap, luggage, food, or other people in there alright?" Larxene commanded.
We all nodded before heading to our respective vehicles.
Rule six- never defy Larxene's orders, it's the only way you'll survive.
The interior of Larxene's car had a leopard coat design, reminding me just a little bit of Cruella-de-Ville minus the Dalmatians.
The witch herself managed to make it onto the highway quietly but soon after being on the thing, managed to get into an argument with Demyx about whether he was holding the map upside own or not.
"Well I'm telling you that you're holding it the wrong way!"
"Then we should've used the GPS!"
"No way, I hate that thing!"
"Well we're not going to get anywhere without it!"
"How about if you figure out how to hold the map right side up—"
"There are no street names or titles on this thing! There isn't even a fucking key!"
"Well I'm damn sure not asking for directions!"
"I thought that was one thing women were good for!"
"Well I thought seventeen year olds could read maps right!"
"Well I thought twenty year olds knew better than to drive somewhere without directions!"
"Guys …"
"Well maybe if you didn't rush me!"
"Guys …"
"Since when do you listen to me anyway?"
"Guys …"
"I guess I won't make that mistake again!"
"Guys!"
"Yeah sure, maybe you can stop being such a bitch."
"Will you both please shut the fuck up and listen to me?"
Everyone's gaze turned to Zexion (Larxene's through the rear view mirror).
"The exit to the beach is in three miles, Demyx you are holding the map upside down since you don't have the thing completely open, Larxene please pay more attention to the road and both of you stop yelling …" Zexion sighed before turning to stare out the window. No one spoke again for a while after that.
Zexion rule number one- don't piss him off.
After that little episode, everything was pretty normal. We made it to the beach without getting into a car accident and Luxord managed to follow us despite Larxene's insane driving. The rooming arrangement worked out pretty well due to the fact that Zell actually likes his son's friends. I ended up with Axel of course. Right next door were Riku and Sora. Then across the hall was Kairi and Xion's room and right next to them were Demyx and Zexion. And way down the hall was Larxene and Luxord's room. Though Demyx, Zexion, Riku, Sora, Xion, and Kairi had somehow migrated into my and Axel's room so that they could all dump their presents on me. We all sat in a circle on the floor and basically, it's just as I said. They literally dumped their presents on me. First was Sora's (since he insisted). I … I didn't really know what to say. It was like he'd just bought out all of Hot Topic. I was grateful he at least knew my tastes though. As for his sister, she gave me … two giant keys. She said they were keyblades and that their names were Oathkeeper and Oblivion. God knows where she got them but they did look pretty cool once I got over the fact that they were keys. Next was Kairi, who'd basically given me her entire music collection (except for the really old stuff; that she got rid of). Riku had given me one of his father's swords. He told me that since he wasn't going to do anything with them and since both of his parents are dead they can't do anything with them so I might as well take one of them. I appreciated that, especially since it had taken Riku about three years to get over his parents' deaths, but I was itching to tell both him and Xion that I knew karate not kendo. Demyx's gift was a pool party after Larxene's beach party so that was one less thing dumped on me. Zexion gave me a laptop since I was normally stuck in my room when I was on the computer and when Naminé offered to buy me a laptop I declined, as usual. As for Axel's gift, he kicked everyone out and pounced on me. His gift basically consisted of two promise rings (that he refused to let everyone else know he got me for fear of seeming 'girly') and a hot make out scene.
After that was the beach party. Larxene and Luxord were already down there and waiting for everyone. Someone had speakers blasting out rock music (that I could already see irritating Kairi who hates American music for some reason) and there were tons of people I didn't know but I didn't give a damn about that as long as they left me alone and didn't try to give me anything. As conceited as this sounds, I simply hate gifts because I'm too rich and Naminé spoils the crap out of me. It's all material anyway; it can't give me comfort or hold me close. In fact, gifts just annoy me because they take up space no matter how abundant said space is. No one seems to agree, though. Apparently, a birthday isn't the same if there aren't gifts (which is total BS but I've learned not to argue with crazy people). As for parties … well they depend on the people attending. And these people know how to party. Within about ten minutes, the place was already a wreck (god knows how that can happen to a beach) and no one was showing any signs of stopping. Larxene had already gained ownership over several people's souls, Luxord was getting drunk, Demyx had declared himself King of the Ocean, Zexion was apparently Queen … which he slapped Demyx for, Sora and Riku disappeared so I don't even want to know what they're doing, Kairi had guys following her around like zombies while she danced around on the sand (and Kairi can dance pretty damn well), Xion was messing with the music which was pissing the D.J. off but he didn't bother doing anything since she probably bribed him into letting her have her way, and Axel and I … we couldn't get any privacy. He's sticking with me while I get bombarded by people I don't even know wishing me a happy birthday. I'm kind of wondering if they even know how old I am now …
It finally got to the point where I was completely fed up and had to shove my way through the crowd of intoxicated teenage ruffians (aka assholes) all the while dragging Axel with me (who happened to find it all very amusing). My excuse for the sudden decision?
"I need food."
Axel didn't respond but I could tell he was staring at me out of the corner of his eye.
"… Okay, fine. I also refuse to put up with anymore happy birthdays and will personally blow this entire beach up if one more person I don't know approaches me," I continued.
"I kind of liked the food excuse better," Axel snorted.
"Blowing things up doesn't appeal to you anymore?"
"Oh it does, I just don't agree with blowing the beach up. Though it would be interesting to see, I'd very much like to come back here …"
"I guess I can agree," I sighed, "Can we still blow the people up?"
"No."
"Fine. Food. Now."
"Oui Monsieur …"
"… I thought you spoke Italian," I said as my nose scrunched up. He had a good accent. Why does he have to be so perfect at everything?
"Sì, mia cara, ma non sono limitati ad esso."
I think he's doing this just to get on my nerves.
"You don't have to glare so much. I just said I'm not limited to only Italian," he laughed.
"Whatever," I grumbled, shoving at him lightly. The side shops started coming into view and I practically started speed walking to get to them.
"Wow, you really must be hungry …" he chuckled.
"Yeah, it's either side shop food or your fingers …" I grumbled. In my peripheral vision I saw Axel clutch his hand close to him and I just shook my head.
"I'm sure actual food tastes better than my flesh, jeez," he pouted.
"Don't worry, Axel, I wouldn't turn cannibalistic over something as petty as a little bit of hunger," I sighed, patting his shoulder. He shuddered but let it go.
"You think they'll have anything good here? I know these places are supposed to be better than greasy fast food restaurants but that doesn't exactly make them the best places in the world to eat …"
"I know but—Oh god they have chocolate cheesecake!" I shouted just as we started to pass a desert shop. I ran over to the sugary nightmare with my mouth watering.
"Are you obsessed with this stuff?" Axel asked, appearing beside me.
"Fuck yeah I am!"
Axel shook his head, muttering something like 'unhealthy'. I immediately ran inside the shop, Axel following me in despite his opinion on the contents of the place.
"You got a problem with it? Then you can kiss my chubby, white ass!" I scoffed as I reached for a slice of the desert and pulled out my wallet (yeah, I'm not getting wet until Demyx' pool party so my money's safe from water).
"… Oh my god, are you PMSing?"
I glared at him but otherwise didn't respond.
"Because seriously, I was about to reply with something like 'I'd love to' but there are only certain body parts of yours that I want near my face and your fist isn't one of them. No need to bitch at me over your fat people food …" he grumbled.
I punched his arm.
"Bitch."
"And even after my fat jab, you're still buying it," he laughed.
"Yup, and you're gonna watch me eat it and think 'damn that looks good' and I'm gonna laugh and not let you have any," I sniffed, jutting out my chin and walking to the cash register with my chocolate.
"Roxas, Roxas, Roxas … I'll only want some if I get to lick it off your—"
"For your own safety, I suggest you not finish that sentence."
Axel bit his lip to hide his smile but kept quiet. The lady at the cash register stared at us, mostly me, in complete shock but I guess that's because she's not use to gay people. Whatever, at least she didn't say anything and just let me buy my 'fat people food' in peace.
"Come on, let's get back to the party before anyone does anything too stupid," I sighed as I dragged Axel away with one hand and held my cheesecake in the other.
XxXxX
3rd person POV
The cashier brushed her hair out of her face, the look of shock still painted on her petite face. She knew it couldn't have been … no, that's impossible. That only left one option. She pulled out her cell phone at lightning speed, almost dropping it, and immediately searched for the number she needed. Once she got it, she started texting immediately, chewing on her bottom lip all the while. She only needed to type one sentence, and it would get the point across. This could possibly be life changing … that is, if she's right. And I'm fairly confident I am … she thought to herself as the message was sent. Its contents composed of only five, very important words.
I think I found him.
XxXxX
"Hey Roxas," Demyx yelled, "Your mom is on TV!"
I hummed in disinterest. When's Naminé not on TV? Maybe if he had told me a giant Domo was smashing through Tokyo like it was Godzilla, I might have responded better. As for why there's a TV in the pool room at all, I'll never understand. At least it's propped high up on the wall. As for why Naminé's on TV, she probably won an award for something interesting she did. I stared at the TV blandly. What was presented was a … sculpture. It looked like it was a boy covered only in a blanket tucked up to his shoulders and curled into a sleeping position. Naminé rarely ever makes sculptures … I wonder why—wait. Why does it look like me? Just as I thought that, she turned straight to the camera and smiled her creepy rainbow-filled smile.
"Happy birthday Roxas."
Oh my god, she did not …
"Dude … that is AWESOME!" Demyx spazzed. I threw a floaty at him and he started laughing harder. My eyebrow started twitching with annoyance.
"Zexion … is it okay if I kick this idiot in the face again?" I seethed. Demyx squeaked and ran … well swam to hide behind Axel as Zexion shrugged.
"Just don't break his nose …"
I cracked my knuckles and started towards Demyx but was stopped by Kairi who had been sitting at the edge of the pool letting her hair air-dry. She grabbed my shoulder and shook her head at me as if saying 'it's not worth the effort' and I silently agreed. Besides, Demyx did a wonderful job of not only making sure that only the people I came to the beach with are in here but also convincing Larxene and Luxord that they had better things to do than hang out with us. It didn't take much convincing. I guess the whole kicking him in the face thing can wait for the next time he pisses me off. I settled next to Kairi's legs (trying to avoid the spray of water every time she kicked it at Sora and Riku for their PDA problems) and leaned back against the side of the pool. After a day of listening to arguments, loud music, and nonstop talking from people whose voices annoy me, I was so ready relax it wasn't even funny. I stayed relaxed against the side of the pool until I felt someone (Axel most likely) move me from my spot and replace me against their chest (yep, definitely Axel). The way he was slumped against the edge I had just occupied told me that he was probably just as tired as I am. Here's some good advice … if you ever need a human pillow, no one's better than Axel. He's like a heater (although the water did cool him off a bit). And he always needs to occupy his hands for some reason (hence the blowing shit up) so if I ever cuddle up to him, he'll just rub my back or run his fingers through my hair. It's like a lullaby with his hands (I swear I'm so lucky to have him).
Ahem.
Anyway …
"It's getting late isn't it …" I mumbled against Axel's skin although I was addressing everyone.
"Yeah, it should be about ten by now," Axel mumbled back.
"Are we going back to our rooms then?" Zexion asked.
"Aww, where's the fun in that?" Demyx whined.
"I agree. We don't have to hang out anymore but we could at least hang in for a little while …" Xion added.
"And whose room would we be doing that in?" Riku asked.
"Not ours," Axel and I said at the same time.
"My room?" Demyx suggested.
"It's not booby trapped again is it?" Sora asked suspiciously.
"No not this time …" Demyx said thoughtfully.
"I somehow don't believe you …" Kairi grumbled around her piece of gum. Demyx froze for a moment before turning to splash her. She had shut her eyes on impact then reopened them to glare at Demyx.
"… Dance, water, dance?"
XxXxX
Demyx and Xion stayed true to their word when it came to 'hanging in'. We've basically been everywhere inside this hotel completing every dare known to man. From licking a stranger's shoes to streaking through the main lobby. And the bright side is that since we're here under the name of Zell Dincht, no one can stop us. We did settle down a little and head back to Demyx' room, though, after almost giving this one lady a heart attack when Xion and Sora decided to pop out of the vases in the hallways and scare people. It was about two o' clock in the morning and we had finally settled down to watch movies and chat. Well everyone else had. I was content with sitting peacefully in Axel's lap and using him as my human pillow again (the dry version). We were propped up against the king sized bed with Kairi and Xion to our right and Sora, Demyx, Riku, and Zexion down in front. I wasn't really paying attention to the movie but I think it was Dawn of the Dead the remake. Everything seemed quieter as I started falling asleep. That is … until the sound of Kairi's gum smacking hit my ears.
God I hate that noise.
I lifted my head a bit to send an icy stare her way and she, being completely oblivious, decided to start blowing a bubble. It was slowly expanding past the length between her nose and chin and I knew she was opening a huge opportunity for me. Unable to help myself, I reached over to pop the large bubble Kairi was currently blowing. When it popped, everyone immediately stopped talking and stared at the mess of pink goop on Kairi's face. She ignored them in favor of glaring at me. It took all I had to keep the smirk off my face and calmly settle myself back into Axel's arms, all the while ignoring Kairi's look of death. Apparently, not everyone else has the self-control I do because everyone except Zexion and Xion started giggling. Zexion didn't because he's just a good guy like that and Xion was just avoiding the violence Kairi would inflict on her if she did laugh.
Aside from that, I could safely say I was dead on my feet. I had to drag myself out of Zexion and Demyx' room and then Axel had to drag across the hall and into our room, all the while my eyes were halfway closed and I could barely see. Just as Axel opened our door someone even bumped into me.
"Oh, I'm sorr—" I heard a gasp and tried to pry my eyes open to see who almost knocked me over. It was that woman from the sweets shop again, and she was staring at me like a deer caught in headlights. All I could do was stare back. Axel half dragged me into the room and apologized to her for me before closing the door. My last glimpse of her almost made my heart wrench. She looked so … melancholic.
"—as … Roxas!"
"Huh?" I replied sleepily.
"C'mon, man, quit being a zombie and get to bed," Axel sighed as he threw me over his shoulder and headed for the bed.
" 'M not a zombie," I mumbled.
"Right sure, and I'm not a redhead."
"Axel … you're so wonderful. I love you …" I trailed off. My brain was absolutely fuzz and after a few second, I couldn't even remember what I said. Axel seemed to find it funny though.
"I love you too. Now sleep, you adorable blonde midget!" he chuckled.
My face hit the pillow and at that moment, I didn't even give a damn that I was still in my clothes or that Axel just called me a midget. I needed rest. Most likely, the rest of this beach trip is going to exhaust me beyond belief and today was just a sample of it.
XxXxX
3rd person POV
It's him again. I know it's him, I just know it! The tall woman thought to herself as she hurried back to her hotel room. Her pace quickened at the excitement of reporting back what she found.
Finally, we found you. Roxas Shiroi …
