After taking the cake out and leaving it too cool, Axel went off to change his cloak in his room, leaving Roxas at the table again. The blonde's head filled with thoughts again. What was this feeling he had for Axel? Whenever he was around him, he felt special and complete. It was weird. Surely he didn't… No! He couldn't FANCY him could he? After all they had only just gotten to know each other, and besides, they were both guys! Roxas wasn't gay! Or at least, he thought he wasn't.
His thoughts were suddenly interrupted as Axel walked in with a new, clean cloak on. Roxas had that strange feeling come up again as Axel walked in the room. His stomach turned.
"You look so cute with cake on your face." Axel said, walking over to the boy.
Roxas's eyes widened, Axel had set off the butterflies in his stomach now. Roxas was too nervous to talk, he simply giggled and blushed bright pink again.
Axel smiled down at the embarrassed boy and stood up. "Well, the cake isn't gonna ice itself!"
Oh God, Roxas thought, here comes more mess!
Axel brought the cake over to the table with all the icing equipment, sat down and started to work at it.
More hours went by as the two teens decorated the cake beautifully. Axel did most of the work, but that was because Roxas didn't want to ruin his masterpiece.
When it was done, they set it to the side and placed a note on top of it saying: 'Keep your filthy paws off!' In very scruffy handwriting.
Axel stood back and admired their work. "Good job Rox, we make a good team you and I."
Roxas nodded, smiling. He looked up at the kitchen clock. My God! He thought. It was half past 3 already! He had so much fun with Axel, the day just flew by. Oh no! Sora must be wondering were he was! Roxas grabbed his bag and wiped his face with a cloth quickly. "Thanks for an amazing day Axel, sorry I gotta go." With that he ran out the kitchen, straight home.
Axel put his arm out to stop him, "Wait Roxa---!" He was stopped by the door slamming shut. He didn't get a chance to say goodbye. The firey redhead looked over at the cake and smiled. He REALLY liked this kid. Maybe, more than he should. Axel got quite worried over his feelings for the blonde. Were they obvious? He scratched the back of his head, thinking harder. What if, Roxas didn't like him in that way… Axel didn't want to ruin their new friendship. He was so confused. The nervous redhead got up from the table and walked to his room, drowning in his own thoughts.
Roxas ran to his house and burst through the front door, trying not to get caught by Sora, he ran straight upstairs to his room. He got in and shut the door behind him. He was startled as he turned round to see Sora sitting on his bed, looking at him with shame. "Where have you been!" The brunette shouted.
"Well, Umm, It's hard to explai—"
