Axel rang the doorbell to Roxas' house the next morning. He wasn't planning on letting Roxas ignore him today unless he had a very good reason to do so.
He was hoping that he didn't.
The door swung open on the first ring and Roxas strode out, still finishing a pink Poptart.
"Good morning sunshine." Axel grabbed his bag before Roxas could and slung it over his shoulder.
Roxas smiled. "Hey."
Axel smiled. "C'mon, let's not be late." They walked to his car and got settled.
"So, wanting to share why you were ignoring me so much yesterday?" Axel rose an eyebrow at Roxas.
Roxas looked over at him. "Not just you, everybody. It's a tradition for Sora and I."
"So you pick a random day, bribe Cloud not to tell anybody anything and ignore every person in the whole school except for each other?" Axel slowed down when he saw a police car at the next intersection.
"No, Cloud just knows not to talk about it or else me and Sora will gang up on him. We've done it before."
"And the date choice?"
"Not random."
"Then what day was it?"
Roxas looked out the window. "You have to pinky promise not to do anything if I tell you?" Roxas stuck out his left pinky finger.
Axel rolled his eyes but wrapped his pinky around it and pulled back hard all the same. "I promise not to do anything when you tell me what yesterday was. Now tell me already!"
Roxas sighed. "Yesterday was our birthday-" Axel screeched the car to a standstill and looked over at Roxas.
"Your birthday?" He blinked. WTF? "Why didn't you guys tell anybody?" I wanted to get you a present!
"Because we both hate them."
"Why?"
"Because that means we're older and we don't want to get older I guess."
"Well how old are you as of yesterday?"
"16."
"O, my god. You hid your sweet sixteen from all your friends? We HAVE to do something!"
"You pinky promised!"
"O but you have to let me do something!"
"Hmm…" Roxas got this evil look in his eyes and stared at Axel while he started to drive again. Axel glanced over at him and shuddered from the look. "You have to do three things for me and that's all I want. Deal?"
"Uh, sure."
"Okay first, you've got to wear something nice for the funeral. I don't care if that means borrowing some of Reno's clothes, just wear something nice." Axel rolled his eyes.
"It's not like I was going to streak at the funeral."
"Yea, yea, I'll believe that." He smirked. "Ok, second, you've got to go meet the Twilight Town people at the dock with me and try to be nice with them."
Axel blinked. "Easy."
"Third, you've got to let me try something with your hair."
Axel paled. "M-my hair? My beautiful hair? Are you going to cut it! I forbid you to cut it! And no dy-"
"Calm down! I'm not going to cut it or dye it or anything like that! I just want to see what it'd look like in a ponytail."
"Like my brother?" Axel raised an eyebrow.
"Not really. And plus, you're so much hotter than he is." Roxas caused Axel to blush.
"Okay are you sure that's all you want me to do?"
"Positive."
"Okay well, when we get to school, I'll park in the empty side so you can play around with my hair here."

"Done!" Roxas leaned back from his creation. Axel's hair was in a ponytail but because of the uneven, natural spikes, the hair that was on top of his head poked up and the ponytail looked more like a porcupine tail.
To Roxas though, it looked very, very good.
"Ok, look in the little mirror." Axel flipped down the sun protector thing and looked in the mirror. He absolutely loved his hair! Why hadn't he ever thought of this? Probably because Reno had a ponytail in all the time and he didn't want to look like him. Well, whatever the reason, his hair looked amazing and he adored it.
"Wow, Rox! This is great! I love it!"
"Yea? So do I." Roxas smiled.
Axel turned back around to face Roxas and bent forward to kiss him. Their lips collided and Roxas immediately moved his arms so they were around Axel's neck, pulling him closer.
Then, the bell rang.
Roxas practically jumped out of his pants but didn't (to Axel's dismay) and hopped out of the truck before Axel could even register that he had gone.
"Fucking bell." He slipped out of the car, locking his precious rust machine as he joined Roxas on the sidewalk.

hmm, this one was boring so I'll put another chapter up within the week, I promise.
I'm truly sorry I don't get these chapters up in any sort of time schedule! If you're still following this from chapter 1… well, thank you!
Happy summer, right?
