It was a cold morning, and as a certain red head lay on his bed, he couldn't help but wish he could go back to sleep. He let out a low growl as he threw his covers off, swung his feet over and sat on his bed while trying to rub the sleep away from his eyes.

'Monday morning is a complete and total drag. No shit...' he yawned and sniffed as he pushed himself off and walked towards his door, almost tripping over his camping bag as he did so.

He tiredly ran his fingers through his hair in a horrible attempt to comb it down as he stumbled into the bathroom and proceeded to do his morning routines.

Just as he was finished and was about to go back into his room, he made a small u-turn and remembered to pick up his toothbrush, toothpaste and other necessities for the camping trip.

He decided to bring along the mint flavored mouthwash that he and his brother share.

As he changed out of his sleeping shirt and shorts, his alarm clock rang and he quickly shut it off. He wasn't in the mood to listen to any high pitched ringing, not that anybody ever was.

He peered outside his window and noticed the morning fog and involuntarily shivered.

When he was done changing, he picked up his bag that was by the door and placed it on his bed, putting in his toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash and other toiletries into a small compartment on the inside of it.

He swung his black bag and sleeping bag over his shoulder, and his pillow tucked under one arm and looked around the room one more time before leaving to go pick up Roxas. But when his eyes shifted to a bit of cable that was sticking out of the second drawer, he immediately went over to it, pulled the drawer opened and took out the hairdryer.

He then rolled the cable into a neat pile, unzipped his bag and stuffed it inside.

'Phew…Lucky I saw it before I left.' He thought to himself as he scanned around the room one more time. 'Don't wanna walk around with wet hair.' He reasoned as he ran his tongue over his teeth, still tasting the mint flavored toothpaste.

He nodded his head and stepped out of his room, walking into the kitchen and writing a note for his brother saying that he won't be home for a week so he better not thrash the fucking apartment.

He read the note over again one more time before deciding it was good enough. Then he added, 'P.S - I have my phone with me, so call me if there's any emergency.'

He stuck it on the front door where he was sure Reno would see it and left the apartment. When he opened the door, a cold rush of air greeted him and made him shiver slightly. He closed the door, locked it then made a slight dash for his car. When he arrived to the car, he opened the boot and threw his bags and pillow in without much thought then went over to the driver's side and hopped in. He stuck the keys into ignition, turned it on and immediately cranked up the heater and waited for his car to warm up before leaving for the blonds' house.

His fingers were numb and cold and he regretted not taking out the gloves from his bag and putting them on before throwing it into the boot. But he was feeling lazy now and he didn't want to leave the comfort of his car.

He scratched his neck as he pushed the clutch, pulled into first gear and drove off as quietly as possible.

He turned down the heater then turned on the radio and listened to the chorus of the newest hit and subconsciously nodded his head to the tune. It took about roughly ten minutes to get to Roxas' house.

Just as he turned a corner into the familiar road, he decreased his speed and shifted to first gear. And just as he stopped in front of the blonds' house by the driveway, he couldn't contain his surprise when he saw that Roxas was already outside waiting for him with a pillow tucked under his arm wearing a white jacket with a checkered pattern over the chest, he even had a smirk on his face with a look that said, 'Hah, I got you this time.' He re-adjusted the white scarf around his neck as he picked up his bags and walked towards the red head.

Axel smirked as he switched off the radio then leaned down and pulled the slot that opens up the boot and hopped out of the car to meet him. "You knew I was coming to get you?"

"Of course." He grinned all knowingly. The red head could see his breath and he wondered how long he had been standing outside for as he swung the top open and reached over for his sleeping bag, a large yellow bag and a pillow.

"So, breakfast at Kupo's?" Axel asked as he closed the boot and walked to his side of the car.

"Wouldn't have it any other way." He smiled as he got in.

"How long have you been waiting for?" he asked as he cranked up the heater again.

"Not long, I'd say five minutes max?" he estimated.

"That's five minutes too long. You should've waited for me to call you first." The red head scolded him lightly as he tried to drive away as quietly as possible.

He scoffed, "Yeah, so you'll be my wakeup call and then you'll end up moaning about how slow I am and tell me to hurry up." He quirked up an eyebrow as he regarded the red head.

"No, that's not what I meant. It's freaking cold out, and I could see your breath!"

"Ok fine," he huffed, "If you must know, I was inside and I waited until I heard your car before I went outside. There you have it." He flicked his hand away at the end.

He chuckled, "Is that so?" Axel couldn't help but smirk as he kept his eyes on the road.

"Yup." He nodded as he turned to the red head and commented, "A turtle neck looks good on you by the way."

"You reckon?" he pulled at the collar. "It makes me feel a little itchy to be honest."

"Maybe you have the fleas." He smirked as he wiggled his fingers at the red head.

"Eh…" he suddenly felt as though the itch got worse and the car was suddenly ten degrees hotter in the last two seconds. "I hope not."

"Don't worry. Since you have that insect repellant, it should be ok." He reasoned as he turned back to the front.

"But I haven't used it yet."

"Uh oh." He joked and laughed while the red head merely laughed sarcastically and with a roll of his eyes.

The drive towards the café was filled with excitement, especially from the blond. He raved on about the sports and it made Axel look forward to it.

"We went kayaking before, it was really fun. But not if you accidentally get tipped over." He made a slight face. "We don't normally do it every year, so I'm not sure if we're doing it this time around."

"Aw damn…I totally missed out huh?" he laughed as he looked around for a car park.

"Don't worry, we do different activities every year and we'll always end up laughing about one thing or another." He laughed as he thought back. "Hey, there's a park over there." He pointed straight ahead.

"Yup, I'm on it." He nodded and drove up to it then reversed in. After making sure he's not sticking out too much or too slanted, he got out of the car and waited until Roxas closed the door before locking it. "Damn, it's a cold morning." He rubbed his arms and did a small dance as he walked up to the café.

"Didn't you bring gloves? Or a scarf even?" the blond asked as he quirked up an eyebrow at the dance that Axel was performing.

"I did! But I left them in the bag and I'm too lazy to take it out." He reasoned.

The blond scoffed. "That's just you being lazy, again." He smirked as he walked a little faster and got to the door before the red head did. "After you."

Axel smirked but refused to step inside. "No, no, after you." He nudged his head towards the door.

"No, you get in first."

"You first."

"Roxas, get in."

"Not until you do."

The waitress inside looked at them worriedly, "Umm…"

"Roxas! Get in now!!" he pulled the blond from the door and pushed him inside. "Hey Rik-" he paused halfway. "You're not Rikku…?" he peered at the new girl curiously. 'Unless she got plastic surgery and dyed her hair brown…and got a pair of blue contacts and forgot to put the other in…' he thought to himself as the girl picked up two menus.

"Welcome to Kupo Kafe! I'm Yuna." She introduced herself. "Rikku accidentally sprained her ankle the other day so I'll be filling in for her." She motioned for them to follow her.

"Oh I see." Both the red head and the blond commented. "Are you new?" Axel asked, still keeping a hold on Roxas' shoulders.

"I'm usually working as the mascot." Then she cleared her throat and made the moogle imitation, "Hello! Eat at Kupo Kafe!" she even made a little jump.

"Oh!! Yeah, the mascot, I get it." The red head laughed and was slightly surprised that Yuna knew where they sat. "Who will be working as the mascot now?" he asked as he sat down and took the menu that she offered to the both of them.

"I asked a friend of mine to work as the mascot. She was pretty reluctant though." She smiled.

'Duh…who would wanna hang around in a stuffy suit all day long?' Axel thought to himself as the smiled happily.

"Oh, the specials for today are crepe cake with maple syrup and um…" she brought her hand up to her chin as she tried to remember. "And I think the other is coffee flavored pancakes. I'm not too sure, so I'll check with Cid first ok?"

"Oh that's fine. Don't worry about it." Axel shook his hand.

"No, no. I'll go check with him now, I'll be right back." She jogged up to the kitchen door and poked her head through and called out to the chef, "Cid, what's the other special other than crepe cakes?"

"It's the espresso pancakes!" he called out in a rough voice and placed two plates of food on the window then smacked the bell. "Order's out by the way."

"Thanks Cid." She came back out and was about to jog back to Axel when he waved to her.

"I got it, thanks Yuna."

"It's no problem, Kupo!" she smiled, picked up the two orders and went towards the table that ordered them. "Strawberry waffles and the big breakfast combo!"

"So she was the mascot." Roxas commented as he looked at her for a little longer then opened the menu and scanned it. "I wonder who's filling in for her."

"You'll find out soon enough." The red head smirked as he pointed to the mascot outside.

The oversized moogle had just arrived and merely stood and did nothing to draw in any attention to the café. A jingle was heard and they saw Yuna going up to the moogle.

After a bit of talking, the brunette smiled and came back inside while the other seemed to have sighed and was now waving disinterestedly.

"She's not doing a very good job." Roxas commented and looked back at the menu.

"It's too early in the morning." He reasoned, placing the menu back on the table. "I'm surprised that Yuna could be so giddy about jumping up and down in that stuffy suit." He yawned and scratched his neck. "So, what're you getting?" he changed the subject as he scratched the other side of his neck.

The blond quirked up an eyebrow as he watched the red head. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, the turtle neck irritates my skin."

"Are you allergic to wool? It happens to people who have skin asthma." He reasoned as he closed the menu and leaned forward to scrutinize at Axel's reddening neck.

"No," he furrowed his eyebrows and unwillingly tore his fingers away from his neck and placed them on the table. "I'm not allergic to anything."

"Are you sure?" he smirked slightly.

"Yes. I'm sure." He started jiggling his foot and tried to ignore the itch.

His smirk widened as he raised his hands in front of him and started wiggling them about. "Feeling the itch?" he asked, noticing a slight twitch from Axel's eye.

"Stop it." He warned and craned his neck to the side in an attempt to make the irritation go away.

"Kupo! Are you ready to order?" Yuna appeared with a pen and pad in hand.

"Yeah, I'll have the crepe cake with a side order of the itch." Roxas smirked as he stared at the red head while Yuna seemed pretty confused.

"Ignore him. Get me the espresso pancake." He started tapping rhythmically his fingers on the table.

"Alrighty then. Two specials." She scribbled them down. "Any drinks with that? Coffee, juice?" she asked as she tilted her head to the side.

"Orange juice for me." Axel replied as he tried to scare the blond by glaring into stopping.

"Me too thanks." But he merely smiled and continued on wiggling.

"Ok then." She gave them one more confused look before stepping away towards the kitchen.

"Would you stop that now?" Axel spoke irritably, twisting his head to one side then snapping it to the other, making his neck crack in three places.

Roxas shuddered while the red head smirked. "Hah, I'll keep that in my head for future reference." The tapping of his fingers were no longer rhythmic but more of a furious drumming.

"Maybe you should change into something else."

"You want me to strip in front of you or something?" he smirked and turned his head slightly to the side.

The blond blushed and looked taken aback, "No. Just grab your bag and change in the toilets or something."

"Or I could change here and watch you turn into a pretty shade of pink." He chuckled, "Or, I could just say it and watch you turn into a pretty shade of pink regardless." He widened his smirk.

"Axel, just go, ok?" he sighed and pretended he didn't hear anything as the red head stood up and left, but not before ruffling the blonds' hair.

Axel returned five minutes later wearing a long sleeve white hooded shirt and a black t-shirt on top.

"Still feeling the itch?" Roxas asked with a smirk as he looked up from the crepe cakes that he was eating.

"Nah, but I looked in the mirror and it looked like I've got rashes." He sat opposite the blond and started eating his pancakes. "Damn turtle neck…It wasn't this bad last time I wore it." He mumbled through a mouth full.

"Did you wash it?" he asked as he sipped his orange juice.

"It's wool. You can't wash it, you gotta dry-clean it. Or else it'll shrink."

"Did you dry-clean it then?" he asked again with a smirk, although he already knew the answer to it.

"No…" he avoided the blonds' eyes as he continued on eating.

Roxas smiled, "That's why your neck gets itchy. Because it's not clean!!" he laughed.

"Yeah, yeah." He couldn't suppress the smile as he the pancakes then drank the orange juice. "Wanna trade later?"

"Sure," he smiled as he sliced another piece of the crepes before sliding it over to the red head.


"What's your favorite Disney movie." The red head asked, quirking up an eyebrow at the look that Roxas was giving him.

"You're asking me, what my favorite Disney movie is?"

"Yeah? Is that wrong?" he raised an eyebrow.

"No, I'm just a little surprised. You asking that kind of question." He shrugged as he sipped his hot chocolate that they ordered shortly after they finished breakfast.

"Well," he smirked, "I could've asked something totally different like-"

"Do I even wanna know?" he cut him off.

"Maybe not." He chuckled.

"Favorite Disney movie huh?" he stared outside the window as he rested his cheek on his palm. "I don't think I have one."

"Aw, come on. You gotta have at least one." He grinned.

He closed his eyes and furrowed his eyebrows, "Hmm…" he wrinkled his nose as he thought back to all the Disney movies that he and Sora watched when they were smaller. "Finding…Nemo?" was the only one he could remember being the best one.

"Really? You don't sound too sure."

"I haven't watched any of those movies in a while." He waved off the comment as he drank his hot chocolate.

"We should spend a day watching nothing but Disney movies, it'll be totally awesome."

"What about yours?" he changed his mind, "Wait, wait. That's not what I wanted to ask."

"It's ok, you can have another turn." He smirked, "My favorite Disney movie is Lilo and Stitch. You just gotta love that booger eating alien." He laughed and lightly smacked the table.

"I haven't watched it yet."

The red head gasped. "What?! You haven't watched it yet?!"

"Um…no." he smiled sheepishly, "Sora's watched it though."

"Oh yeah…we so gotta have a movie night one of these days." He nodded his head in resolution. "Anyways, what did you wanna ask?"

He shook his head as he smiled, "What's your favorite school subject?"

"I like all the classes we have together." He smiled while the blond rolled his eyes. He was getting use to those comments. "But I'd have to say that I like stats class the most."

"Oh, let me guess." He sounded sarcastic, "It's because it's the first class that we had together and you chose to sit by me."

"Are you reading my mind?" the red head laughed.

"No, you're just getting predictable." He spoke coolly as he took another sip of his hot chocolate then licked his lips to get rid of the chocolaty froth.

Axel seemed offended, but quickly brushed it off as he stood up from his seat and leaned towards the blond. "Predictable you say?"

"Yes." He furrowed his eyebrows. "What are you doing?"

"I'm trying to see if you can predict my next move." He quirked up an eyebrow as he leaned in closer.

Slowly, he kept on inching his head away from the red head who continued to violate his personal space. "You're gonna pop my personal bubble." He warned as his head hit the back of the cushiony seat.

"I believe I already have." He smirked as he drew closer until their noses almost touched.

"Ok, fine. You've proved your point." He frowned, not enjoying the fact that Axel is not even a centimeter away. "You're not that predictable."

"Good," he smiled, "But before I back up," he tilted his head to the side and licked the leftover froth from the corner of the blonds' lips. "You missed a spot." He smirked as he sat back down in his seat.

His eye twitched, Roxas had never felt so tempted to swear in his whole entire life now than he ever did before. 'Calm down, calm down…Calm down…' he took a deep breath with each passing thought as his eye twitched again. "What, the bleep was that?!" he blushed furiously as he raised his hand and wiped away at the wet spot with his sleeve.

"You missed a spot," he smirked, "Right, over, there." He tapped on the exact same spot near his mouth, mirroring where he had licked the blond just seconds before.

"You could've just told me!" he exploded without meaning to.

"That's just too predictable." He chuckled and looked at the moogle shaped clock hanging on the wall. "Opps, we better get going now." He drank the rest of his hot chocolate and walked up to the podium to pay.

The blond sank in his seat and grumbled, half listening to the conversation that the red head was having with the brunette girl.

"So Yuna, any idea when Rikku's coming back?" he asked after handing her a twenty dollar bill.

"Not sure," she tapped her chin in thought as picked up change for the red head., "maybe sometime later this week or early next week."

"Ok then, if you see her, tell her I said hi and to get well soon ok?" he smiled as he glanced back at their table to see that the blond hadn't moved an inch. "Oh, keep the change too."

"Thank you, and I'll tell her that." She smiled.

"Roxas, you coming or what?" he called out as he placed one arm on the podium and leaned against it.

The blond downed the rest of the contents in the cup, got up and left the café without waiting for the red head.

He raised his eyebrows in confusion as he watched the blond leave then waved at Yuna. "Alrighty, see ya next time." He exited the building then called out to the blond again. "Roxas! You're not angry at me, are ya?"

"No, of course not." He replied in a normal voice as he stalked closer to the car.

"Ok…?" he gave a lop sided smile as he took out the keys of his car and pushed the button to unlock, the blond went in immediately.

As soon as the red head got in, Roxas turned to him, "You remember how to get to church right?"

"Yup, of course." He smirked as he started the engine. "I've been there like, two times already." He waved off the comment as he shifted to first gear.

"Ok." He turned his head back out the window.

Axel wiped the smirk off his face as he stared at the blond. He had been expecting a laugh or a smile. Not a plain, 'Ok.' Maybe it had something to do with what he did just now.

'Nah, he knows it was just a joke,' he laughed in his head, 'Right?' he sighed internally as he drove off.

Roxas hadn't said a word since then, and it had already been five minutes. He just kept his head facing out the window. Axel was starting to get worried. "Hey, look Roxas. I'm sorry. I thought that it would be funn-"

"You're confusing me…"

"Eh?" he turned his head to the blond and immediately snapped his eyes back to the road.

The blond didn't elaborate as they drove on and the red head was extremely tempted to just pull over so they could talk. But you really can't do that in the middle of a motorway. 'Don't push him, don't push him' Axel thought to himself as he continued to glance over at Roxas, his grip tightening on the steering wheel.

It was exactly like that time when Roxas found out that his friend was- 'Oh shit…' he cursed and finally realized what he did.

"Roxas, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean-"

"It's fine."

"No it's not fine." He snapped and the blond jolted slightly. "You're confused about your friend and about yourself. I shouldn't have invaded your personal space, and for that, I'm really sorry." He apologized as he shifted his eyes over to him one more time.

"It's just that…" he started slowly, "I completely forgot about what happened on Tuesday." He sighed as he turned his head back to the front, although he kept his eyes downcast, "And then, you did that and suddenly everything just came right back at me."

He knew that saying sorry one more time was probably not a good idea. Roxas didn't want an apology, he wanted clarification.

"Then, instead of moping about it, why don't you use that noggin' of yours and think it through hm?" He suggested as he tapped the blonds' forehead.

He smiled momentarily before it faded away again, "It's not that easy. I wish it was, but it's not that easy."

"Sure it is. It's like…learning a new subject at school." He applauded himself for his brilliance.

"There're no textbooks available for this subject." He pointed out.

"Ah…true…" he suddenly realized. For him, everything looked easy, mainly because he's already been there and done it. But for Roxas, it was like moving into a completely new school and starting out fresh. It was probably very intimidating. He sighed as he indicated to move out of the motorway. "Isn't this camp thing all about self discovery or something?"

"Yes…?" he turned to the red head. "Your point?"

"Use this week to find out more about yourself. Who knows?" he shrugged and smiled a little, "Maybe you'll learn something new." He suggested as he slowed to a stop for a red light.

Roxas smiled as he regarded the red head then turned back to the front. "Hey Axel?"

"Yeah?" he looked at the blond.

"Thanks."

He grinned, "No problem."

"And Axel?"

"Hm?" he turned back to the front, ready to move when the light turns green.

"You got off at the wrong exit."

"Oh shit!" he cursed as the blond laughed at his mistake.


Omg…I'm rushing it. I was totally rushing the last chapter, you noticed it too right?! I'm sure you have!! You notice a lot of things that I would've never noticed until you tell me about it then I would notice it! Damn it!!
