35 – Adventure
~Bright as the sun was through the day~
Axel laughed in triumph as he slowed to a stop in the plaza.
"We won, Xion! Wasn't that fun?"
Xion's laughter was shaky, her vision spinning a little. "It sure was an adventure."
Roxas ran up to them, panting with his hands on his knees. "You guys… cheated! You must've… used corridors."
"Nope," Axel said smugly. "We're just faster than you."
Roxas looked up in confusion. "Xion, why are you on Axel's back?"
"Um, well…"
"She needed some extra help," Axel said.
"So you did cheat!" Roxas accused, crossing his arms.
"No, I just did some of the work for her."
Xion frowned. "It's okay, Axel. You were the real winner."
"Axel, are you blushing?" Roxas asked incredulously.
"My face is just red from running." It got redder as he said that.
"Uh-huh. Sure."
Axel rolled his eyes. "Do you want me to put you down now, Xion?"
"I'm still kind of dizzy from going so fast, but if you're tired…"
"Nah, you can stay as long as you like," he said quickly.
"Thanks." She smiled, resting her chin on his shoulder, and Axel closed his eyes briefly with a grin. Roxas made a noise halfway between a laugh and a gag.
"What?" Xion and Axel asked, her in confusion and him defensively.
"Axel knows. Xigbar said so."
"Knows what?"
"Don't listen to him, Xion. If Xigbar originally said it, it's either dumb or a complete lie."
"Nuh-uh, you just proved it when you grinned like that. You like Xion."
A/N: Deeerrrrp I'm suspending the word limit until I'm done with this plot bunny.
Roxas really shouldn't listen to Xigbar's gossip…
