Whooo chapter 3! And what a doozie of a chapter this is! We got Axel confusing himself, Axel doubting himself, Axel doing this, Axel doing that...he's all over the place! I guess that's what happens when you like your best friend and wake up next to him in the morning. ;D

Disclaimer: Oh the things that would have happened if I owned Kingdom Hearts (many thoughts come to mind)

I woke up looking directly at a mass of blonde hair that was against my chest.

It would appear that the problem has gotten bigger.

Yawning slowly, I blinked to focus my eyes in the blinding light of the evil sun. It likes to sneak up outside the window and wake me up at such early times in the morning. Looking at the clock, I confirmed that idea by noting that it was 6:03. Too early for me. Or maybe I'm just saying that because Roxas is right against me and making me feel so strangely gleeful.

So I'll admit it: I have a crush on my best friend.I guess I can't be in denial forever, no matter how nice the idea of that was. But I don't think I should really be enjoying the fact that Roxas is only making my crush deeper. I looked back from the clock to Roxas' head that my hand was stroking.

Wait, what?

Snatching my hand back I glared at it. Bad hand! I didn't say you could stroke his hair! Although it was very nice and soft… I wonder what shampoo he uses- Axel stop that thought! Go back in denial! Maybe, just maybe, if I go back to denial, it will be like reverse, and eventually I'll just like Roxas again as my best friend. Yes, that might just work.

"Namine…" I heard him say and my eyes instantly narrowed. "Hey…give me back my pencil… get your own…" Oh, that's better. No! It's not better because I'm thinking it's better that he doesn't like Namine! Wait, did that make sense? I slapped my hand onto my face and sighed. Okay, I can fix this problem.

But why do I think it's a problem? Is it wrong to have a crush on your best friend? Of course it is, he's you best friend. But, what does best friend have to do with it? I mean Sora and Riku are practically snogging each other everyday and they are best friends. But obviously, I shouldn't like Roxas, I mean, he's Roxas. You don't fall for your best friend when he obviously likes girls. And I am not a girl.

"G'morning, Axel." Roxas slurred his words from sleep and looked up at me. God, he was so freakin' cute.

"Hey," I answered. Smooth, Axel, great response.

"What are we gonna do today?" He didn't move from his spot next to me. Is he trying to make me spazz?

"I don't know." I said, and although I knew I should, I didn't move either.

"M'okay." He stayed where he was except now he turned to look out the window. Deciding that this had to stop or I'd go something drastic, I got up from my bed and walked over to my dresser. I started to look around in it and then sighed.

"I'm taking a shower." I said, more to myself, and started out of the room.

"Can I use the one in the other bathroom?" He asked and I nodded my head and continued down the hall.

Walking down the hallway back to my room, I had only my black and red towel on. I was positive that Roxas would have been done with his shower by now, and must have gotten hungry. So he would have gone to the kitchen, and thus not be in my room. So that solved the problem of me forgetting to bring clothes to the bathroom.

But when I opened the door, I realized that Roxas must not have the same appetite as his twin.

I just stared at him as he sat shifting through his bag in only his pants. He was missing a shirt.

"Oh, hey." He said as he finally saw me, lifting his face so more of his lovely- I mean… regular bare chest that happened to be very appealing, was seen.

"Uh." Could I be anymore stupid? Be impressive Axel! No wait, didn't I want to be in denial before? Another 'uh' came from my mouth, making Roxas look at me confused.

"Oh! Let me leave so you can get your clothes…" He shyly noticed that I had nothing on and thought that maybe I wanted my clothes. And I did, but looking at him was just so mesmerizing. He walked past me, and I quickly noted that his pants were black leather and were a bit tight on his behind. Snapping myself out of it, I went to finding some clothes to wear.

After turning on the T.V. and finding that it would be a rather cold day, I decided to wear all black, and then my black rain coat that had these lovely chains on them. And of course, the combat boots. I opened the door to find Roxas standing there patiently and he smiled nervously at me.

"Well, uh, I couldn't find my shirt that I packed…" He wants to wear one of my shirts! Ah! Imagine, my shirt on him, and then it will forever smell like- woah there now. Axel, reel in you thoughts and control them. This crush is affecting you badly. Or maybe because you've been in denial so long, it's just now going to turn you crazy for denying to yourself that you're crushing your best friend.

"Yeah, you can." I grabbed a black long sleeve shirt that had blue stripes on the chest and a skull on the bottom and handed it to him. He took it and put it on, making me curse the fact that I had given him a shirt. I should have made him walk around without a shirt. Yes, feel the power Axel!

"Axel, can I wear this?" I blinked and noticed that he already got his black hoodie on and was holding up something. Focusing on it, I realized it was studded choker. I raised an eyebrow at him.

"You like that?"

"I think it's cool." He replied and gave me a questioning look.

"You can have it, I don't wear it." I said and turned around, looking back at the television.

"Are…are you sure?" He asked shyly from behind me.

"Yeah," I answered him. We need to figure out what to do… I felt something tug on my hair and I tried to turn my head, only for a hand to stop me.

"Hold on," Roxas ordered me and I sighed; what was he doing? "Done." I heard something snap and I reached up to see what he had done.

"You put my hair up!" I exclaimed, and went to grab the rubber band out of my hair.

"No!" Roxas pleaded and grabbed my hand. I looked at him questioningly. Why would he want to put my hair up?

"I- I think it looks nice…" Wait, wait. Okay my heart's still beating.

"What?"

"See, not all of it stays up, and it's still spiky. I think it looks good." I looked at him and he started to turn a slight pink. "You don't look like a girl if that's what you're thinking! You look tough!" He added on, making me feel better. I did not want to look like a girl. But since I don't look like one and Roxas says it looks nice, I guess I can deal with it. If Roxas likes it, that's good, even though I still don't think it's okay to like your best friend.

"Looks like it's going to be a gloomy day." Roxas pointed at the weather report that said rain for the day. "Why don't we go to the mall?" Having no other ideas of what we could do, I nodded my head.

"I'll call Riku," I started but Roxas gave me a look that told me not to pick up the phone.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked and Roxas looked like he had been snapped out of something.

"Oh, nothing! Just that I'm not sure if Riku and Sora would be up and ready to go. They must have stayed up pretty late, and knowing Riku, he probably wants time alone with Sora." He stated matter-of-factly and I let it go. Hey, if it's just us, that's fine with me.

"Okay, let me grab a bite to eat and then we'll go."

I really like my motorcycle. And when Roxas has to hold on to me while we are on the motorcycle, that just makes me like my motorcycle even better.

We got to the mall just as it started to rain, and as soon as we stepped inside, Roxas' stomach growled. Blushing he mumbled something about going to the food court first. We both got some Taco Bell and sat silently while we ate. I finished before him, and took the time left to watch him as I pretended to look around the food court at people. When we were done, Roxas headed immediately towards the bookstore and I followed. I had no problem following him to the bookstore, since he likes books. But what I did have a problem with was the fact that when I got there Roxas was smiling and talking to Namine. Roxas was laughing with Namine.

"Oh hey, Axel." She said innocently, while she was probably talking to Roxas on purpose. Well duh, why wouldn't she be talking to him? No one accidentally starts talking to someone.

"Hello." I said, hiding any tint of annoyance in my voice. Roxas was still smiling at Namine when he spoke to me.

"Namine was looking for the same book I was, isn't that funny?" He held up some book I didn't feel like knowing the title of; I kept my eyes on Namine,

"Yeah, funny." I answered and Namine shifted her weight to a different leg and glanced at Roxas nervously.

"Well, I guess I'll be-"

"Oh no! Why don't you walk around with us?" He turned to me. "It's okay, right Axel?" I nodded my head but really just wanted Namine to go fall off a cliff at the moment. Roxas didn't see my annoyance though, and started talking to Namine as he bought both of the books. He bought the book for her! I crossed my arms and snorted; this was not going well. So then they continued out of the bookstore and just stared to wander the mall, and I trailed behind unhappily.

But why wasn't I happy? I just liked Roxas, there was nothing to get upset about. If Roxas wanted to hang out with Namine too, that was fine with me. Get that memorized Axel, there's nothing you can do about it. You obviously fell for the wrong guy, so get this fixed up before something bad happens.

But even as I told myself to stop liking Roxas and let him hang out with Namine and to forget this ever happened, I knew that my heart wouldn't let me. I smiled as Roxas picked up a black stuffed animal with yellow eyes and grinned at it. Right then, I knew that my crush on him was getting worse and trying to go back into denial wouldn't do a thing.

Whoosh! Okay, Chapter three is over! So now, Axel finally gets that he likes Roxas and that there isn't anything he can do about it! So now what will he do? Will he attempt to get Roxas to like him? Will he be mean to Namine? Will he go to piano lessons?

Hehe, so keep a look out for another update! In the meantime, why don't you review and make me happy?:D
