Chapter 21

Author's Note: Remember, these are past events continued from the last chapter…….okay….shutting up now.

I sprung to the door openeing it and slipping outside. I closed the door and looked up at Axel smiling nervously.

" H-hey Axel." I said, all out of breath.

He looked surprised, raising his brow slightly.

" What are you guys….DOING in there?" He asked.

" Uhm…nothing. Nothing at all." I stated, scratching my cheek.

He raised a hand to my hair, picking at it. He pulled a long string of pink globs from my hair.

" Nothing huh?" He asked, amused.

I blushed, sucking in a breath.

" Demyx bought silly string and….well……yeah." I said.

" Silly string eh? For what occasion?" He asked, leaning closer to me, watching me through those seductive eyes of his.

" N-nothing." I started squeaking. I only did that when I was nervous and Axel knew it.

" Nothing?" He repeated amusingly.

" H-hey!" I blurted out loudly. " Why don't we go somewhere. Just the two of us?"

He looked surprised again.

" Right now?" He asked.

" Yeah!"

" Where would we go?" He asked curiously, wanting to know where my mind was headed.

" I don't know. We could just….GO." I said, starting to push him away from the house.

" Uhm….okay…..but…what about Demyx? Wouldn't he want to come?"

" NO!" I half screamed. "He has…..uhm…..stomach problems." I mumbled, dragging poor Axel along.

" Uhh…..o-okay." Axel said, rubbing his head in utter confusion.

I dragged him to the sidewalk and began half running to the corner.

" Uhm…we're going to go with you having silly string all over you?" Axel asked.

" You don't want to go with me? Is that what you're saying?" I asked, knowing that if I used psychology on Axel that I'd get him to go with me easily.

" N-no! That's not what I'm saying at all! Of course I want to go with you." He cried.

" Then it shouldn't matter what I look like, should it?" I responded, snickering mentally.

" No." He simply said, confused all the same.

I dragged him to a nearby pizza shop and shoved him through the door.

" Oww…..geeez Roxas, you sure are pushy today." Axel said, rubbing his head.

" Sorry." I mumbled, sighing loudly.

Axel smirked and looked over to me.

" You seem kind of…..dominant……today." He said, that smirk wide as ever.

I rolled my eyes and simply shoved him into a booth.

" Yeah yeah….keep your mind out of the gutter today for the most part, will ya?" I said, sitting down across from him.

" I would like to know however, why I was dragged and forced into a pizza shop today. I deserve to know." He said.

I looked up at him, eyes wandering.

" I uh….just had a craving for…pizza is all." I lied.

" Oh." He said, nodding and closing his eyes, as if that explained everything.

" And I suppose you and Demyx had no idea it was my brithday today either?" He asked, sweetly.

" Uh…..it is?" I said, brilliantly.

He simply nodded slowly, resting his chin on his propped hand.

" Well….uh…happy birthday." I said, smiling oddly.

" Thank you." He said, smirking again.

It was silent for a few moments. We stared at each other, as if having a staring contest. I broke myself away from those gorgeous green eyes, yawning loudly. I put a hand to my head, quickly taking it away and sneering in disgust.

" Ew…..sticky." I mumbled, wiping my hand on my jeans.

Axel chuckled, continuing to look at me.

" What..?" I asked, tilting my head to the side. " Something on me?….besides pink gobs in my hair of course…." I said.

" No. I just like watching you." He replied, smiling pleasantly.

I turned a few shades of red as a waitress came over to us, smiling brightly.

" Hello there, what can I get you today?"

" Just a pizza with cheese and pepperoni." I mumbled, still blushing.

" Alrighty then!" She smiled and pointed to me. " Nice hair by the way. Love the pink." She joked, giggling.

I smiled sarcastically, thinking I was going to KILL Demyx when we got back to his house.. " Yeah thanks." I said pulling a pink gooey strand out of my hair. She walked away and left me and Axel to ourselves again.

I wondered how many people Demyx invited.

Author's Note: Forgive me for the chapters being so short but right now I don't have time to write. I'm going to a birthday party. At least I updated. XD
