Our Spot

We stood in front of Saix's grave in silence, I was kneeling on the ground with Terra behind me and his hand on my back while Zexion stood to the side of the tombstone, fingers feeling the carving we had done ourselves. I closed my eyes and whispered one sentence, hoping I would get a reply but knowing I wouldn't. I hope you're happy up there.

The wind blew in our direction and my red hair flew in my face, as I shook it away I caught a glimpse of something I couldn't believe.

Roxas, pissed, was in front of me.

His murderous glare was one I normally would give him credit for, if it wasn't pointing on me fully. I coward behind the tombstone, hoping it would make a difference. I knew it wouldn't. I didn't exactly do anything wrong, but I didn't do anything right either. So I needed to pay the price, I was okay with that; I just didn't know what I was going to pay up.

"Axel, you idiot! You think that's it's alright to leave us behind while you go and pray in front of a random tombstone?" he shouted, clearly not putting two and two together. I chuckled, sure the situation wasn't funny, but the way he was acting was. "Do you think this is funny?"

I shook my head. "No, that's not it. This situation is perfectly humour free, however you on the other hand are just laughable beyond belief!" I managed to choke out in between laughs.

"Oh and how am I being funny?"

I snorted and pointed to the tombstone. "Meet my friend Saix, he killed himself four years ago."

Roxas' jaw dropped. "I didn't mean-"

"I know Roxas, that's what was funny." I smiled, looking around. "Saix loved this side of the bridge more, the cherry blossom make this place beautiful in the spring. We would often go to the park and do our thing."

Roxas smiled and took my hand and pulling me to my feet. I smiled at the gesture and took his hand and kept it afterwards, pulling him towards the park in question. "This way." I whispered, pulling more urgently.

I could hear the others chuckling at my attitude, Terra mostly, and their random comments. I think it was Terra that left me wondering, "I just wish they would get on with it."

On with it? He is definitely answering questions later, when it was just the two of us. Now how to torture him... Let's see hot sauce, maybe my new lighter, oh and don't forget tying him up.

As I was thinking of awesome torture methods, I forced Roxas along the graveyard. We didn't stop until I saw my old solitude in front of me. It was an abandoned park, no one to bug me and Saix in our own little world. There were a high pine tree we used to climb, I was able to get awesome high shots of the ocean shore at the beach under the cliff. Saix often got inspiration from looking put into the ocean waves.

I smiled at the memory as I scanned the rest of the park. The creaking song of the swings still matched the time of the crashing waves. The three slides still looked hazards, but this was my home, my safe place.

"Where are we?" Roxas asked, looking for the rest of the group.

"My secret place, come on." I answered, pulling him towards the pine tree.

"Axel! I can move on my own! You don't have to pull me!" Roxas started pulling my hand away. "God Axel! Let go of my hand!" I looked down at it and flinched, hand letting go immediately.

"Sorry." I looked up at the tree. "I hope this makes up for it." I said as I started climbing. "The view is amazing."

I started to climb in silence, hoping that Roxas would follow. Cause to tell the truth, the view was beyond amazing.

"Whoa," Roxas replied to the beauty of the scene around us. I smiled down at him." Do you think I can take shots for some paintings?"

I laughed at that. "Sure, no problem." And I continued to climb higher, I stopped when I reached the safest branch to sit on with a completely straight 90 degree angle coming from the tree. I sat down and shimmied down the branch and grabbed one of my sketch pads there. "Or, you can do it now."

Roxas' face lit up at the sight of my art kit up here. "Are you sure?"

I nodded. "Positive. I personally think you deserve it."

Roxas looked confused. "For what?"

I chuckled at his voice. "For helping me find the light at the end of the tunnel. I believe if I find your brother looking for Terra yesterday, my life would still suck. Just by knowing you, I think my life has been brighter. I don't need my mask of smoky flames anymore. You know what! I'm going to tell my parents today!"

Roxas' eyes widen. "You sure about that Axel? You said yesterday that if they threw you out, you have no where to go." His voice was filled with concern.

I shrugged. "I'll find a way. I'm not going to sit around and wait for them to okay with it. Plus, they aren't home today so I'll have to call them. If they say to get out of the house I'll be able to find one within 24 hours before they are scheduled to land."

Roxas still looked uneasy. "What if they you can't find one in town? How are you going to be able to live without us, without me?"

I let the me part slide at the moment. "If that happens Roxas, I'll be here everyday waiting. You got me?" Roxas nodded.

He looked out into the sky. "I used to have these weird dreams when I was younger, I looked like I had a double life. One was with a black coat and two best friends and another without the coat and three best friends. When I woke up I started to believe it was real and that they were out there somewhere waiting, all three of them. That they knew me and I would know it was them, but the weird thing isn't that, it was that there was this guy with red hair that I knew before any of them, and I couldn't see his face. Don't get me wrong he had a hood, but even when the hood was down I still couldn't see his face."

I looked at him with caring eyes. "Did you guy sit on top of a clock tower to watch the sun set?"

Roxas nodded slowly before answering. "The one thing I remember the most was a quote of what the man said. I never heard his voice, but I remember him saying it."

I looked at him for awhile, he didn't keep going so I quickly asked. "What did he say?"

"'Bet you don't know why the sets red. You see, light is made up of different colours. And out of all those colours, red is the one that travels the farthest.' It's a weird thing to remember from a dream, but I feel like it holds a bigger purpose then anything else I've seen."

For some reason I remember that line as well, not from a point of view like Roxas. I know I've never heard it, but somewhere deep inside of me, I feel like I've said it. "Well I guess you should follow your heart. Many people don't understand that concept in life and live miserable. I think that's why my brother said something about being gay, he didn't want to be the make belief son he wasn't anymore."

Roxas finally looked up at me. "I guess that's what I'm trying to say. No matter what happens I have your back, especially after what you did last night."

We both blushed at the memory. "Thanks Roxas. Now that I think about it, when do you come into town?"

Roxas looked around the sky once more. "Tomorrow my dad is bringing our stuff to the house. Me and Ven were going to sleep there the night and we were going to unpack when my dad got there."

"Great then, I guess me and Terra are definitely coming over to help you unpack then!" I smirked, as I moved closer to him. "And I think we should get down now. I've kidnapped you so they must be looking for us, and I really don't want them to find this place."

"How did you find it?"

"Long story, I'll tell you as soon as you move your sexy little butt down the tree."

"My sexy little butt?"

"Yes, as a man I think your butt looks sexy. Have a problem with that?"

"No!" He squeaked. "I'm just wondering when you would have looked at my ass."

I gave him a sly grin. "Well that's for me to know and you to find out."

He pouted and started moving down the tree to the bottom. "I will find out and you will pay for it if I was in your sweats!" I started balling of laughter.


We managed to find the group exiting the wax museum on the other side. Terra was whispering something in Ven's ear and smirking as Ven started to laugh. Either Terra turned into a comedian or he's talking about earlier.

"Hey look! The love birds are back!" Terra shouted.

Demyx and Zexion looked at us and smiled before starting to kiss. Ven giggled as he turned to his boyfriend. I took a quick glance at Roxas, he was slightly pink around the ears and he looked like he was about to exploded into an angry fit. Ven just smiled and looked at him.

"Oh, so you did get some!"

This statement caused a number of things. Firstly, Zemyx whipped their heads towards the sound of heavy breathing that wasn't their own, as soon as they saw Roxas' face they bolted from where they were to hold him back. Secondly, I looked at Terra's shocked expression as he moved Ventus into a safer position. Thirdly, I moved Zemyx away from Roxas and gave him a bear hug to stop him from murdering his brother. Lastly, Roxas flailed against me as he tried to rip into his brother.

When he finally clamed down I whispered. "Don't worry, they're just teasing you."

Roxas nodded. "I know, it's just..." His voice faded away as he fisted his hands into my leather jackets. He quickly recovered, releasing me and whispering an "I'm sorry."

I just shrugged and guided him to the rest of my friends, no our friends. We decided that it was time for dinner so we kicked it to the cars.


Surprisingly when we reached our cars, Zexion's silver Porsche was sitting right next to Terra's car. Zexion shrugged it off as a coincidence, but knowing him he put it there on purpose.

Anyways, we headed off to the old 70's dinner down the street from Demyx's apartment building. It made these best burgers ever in the town, and well we were all craving some burgers.

The waiter was dressed in a typical 70's school girl outfit. Her hair done in pigtails to give the 27 year old a more younger look. We all knew who she was and how she acted, but that still change her attitude towards me and Terra.

"So handsome-" Tiffany placed her hand on my shoulder, clearly trying to flirt. "I hear your still single. How is it that a guy as hot as you can't seem to get a girlfriend?"

Demyx snorted. "Because he's not into girl Tiff, you of all people show know that. You've been trying to get his pants for months now."

Tiffany puffed her face out. "Fine, would all of you like the usual?" She looked at all of us who nodded and noticed the twins. "Oh and what would you two like?" She asked, leaning in to show her breasts to the boys in front of her.

Ven looked disgusted as he coward into Terra. The brunette put his hand on his shoulder, soothing the frighten boy. I quickly looked at his brother.

Roxas wasn't too happy about this certain situation. I quickly put my hand on his shoulder, holding him down to ensure he didn't do anything harsh or rash. Roxas looked back at me and nodded, I spoke. "You really shouldn't be a cougar and pick on high school guys. Someone might think your a pedo Tiff."

Zexion nodded. "And get these two a burger without cheese and some coke. Oh and personally I think this should be on the house. Wouldn't want to destroy your perfect image here."

Tiffany puffed out and stomped away.

Roxas chuckled. "She better not spit in my food."

"She won't. She might be paying for the meal, but that doesn't include tip." Demyx muttered.

I nodded. "She'll be good the rest of the time. Don't worry about it." I said placing my hand on Roxas' back and moving my hand in circles.


Author's Note: So I would continue with the dinner, but I'm getting writer's block from this day. So this is the end of the night. The next chapter will just show how Roxas and Ven got home and then start the next day.

To those who don't understand the title, the abandoned park is there spot now. Just like the clock tower was their spot in the game. I was gonna make it a clock tower, but I remembered that I made this city/town not have one.

Also, as you can see I AM BACK! Sorry that I took two weeks. The first week school just started and I was on this school trip as a TA and we were finalizing stuff so I was pretty jammed with school work and trip meetings. Last week I was up on my school trip to a camp we go to and got back today at like 7pm. I'm falling asleep writing this so the next two chapters I promised those who reviewed, tomorow. I got the next chapter written down, but I just need to type it! Anyways, I'm off to take my well deserved nap.
