***Hey guys! I think I'll continue that one-shot I started a while ago… New Beginning? Anyways, sorry I didn't update yesterday. Still sick.***
Roxas looked around.
How did they end up here? It was a freaking fancy restaurant! How in the name of Kingdom Hearts did Axel manage to get reservations on such short notice?
Axel seemed to read his mind.
"I just told them who I was. It seems like your brother has a big mouth." Axel shrugged.
"Other, not brother." Roxas corrected.
"Right. Actually, I've been thinking about this whole thing with you and Sora." Axel said.
"What about it?"
"Well, I think his mom's right. About you being Ventus and all. I met Ventus once, he was exactly like you." Axel explained.
"Whoa, you're ten years older than me?" Roxas asked, confused.
"No, becoming a nobody stops you from aging, remember? Because we're not really alive. And I went back to being my Other, and he was this old, so… I don't really know how to explain… I'm really just a year older than you, let's leave it at that." Axel sighed.
"Okay. Otherwise I was going to say… but why didn't you tell me when we were in the Organization?"
"Because I was under strict orders not to tell you anything from my past. You or Xion." Axel added.
"Yeah, Xion… I miss her. I only remembered her after Sora did that last fight with Xemnas." Roxas said sadly.
"You know what would cheer you up?" Axel asked suddenly.
"What?"
"Ice cream on the Tower." Axel smiled.
"Yes!" Roxas laughed.
They paid for dinner and headed out, walking to the train station.
"Ugg, this was so much easier with portals of darkness." Axel complained.
"Oh shut up, I could never summon them right. I could only take them to the Tower or home, never anywhere else." Roxas pouted.
"Then how did you get on your missions?"
"Saix summoned them, remember?" Roxas asked.
"Oh right. You know, we probably could still make them." Axel said, stopping.
"what?"
"We can probably still make portals of darkness. I can still summon fire, and I bet you can still call your keyblades." Axel said.
"Then try." Roxas said eagerly.
Axel held out his hand and concentrated. After a few seconds, black smoke appeared, then a very see through portal came into view.
Axel looked at it.
"Well, I'm not getting into that thing." Roxas said.
"Aw, c'mon Rox! Where's your sense of adventure?" Axel asked.
"I think I left it in the Castle That Never Was." Roxas muttered.
"Please Rox?" Axel asked, unleashing the puppy eyes.
"Goddamnit. Fine." Roxas huffed.
"Yay!" Axel exclaimed, and pulled the blonde into the shaky portal.
