Well here is the next update. This is mainly to hold you off for a few more weeks because I will be going on day trips. I will be online...just not writing stuff. Hehe.

Oh this is also for Katraa hehe because her stories make me squee. (gobbles up the Zemyx like there is no tomorrow) And she is a good friend :

Riku and I sat in my room, half heartedly playing Lord of the Rings. I watched as I let Sam die again, 'Game Over' appearing on the screen. Looking at the clock, it was one in the morning and Riku was content with staying here to keep my mind off of things. Restarting the game, Riku glanced over, still worried about me.

When he had first appeared at my house, I could only assume that all the family members were leaving because I heard the cars driving away. My mom must of have opened the door because it didn't take long for him to get up here from when he rang the doorbell. If it had been my dad, I think he would have just slammed the door in his face. I didn't know where my dad was now, and I really didn't want to know either. When Riku had gotten here, I had finished my… 'episode', and greeted him all smirks and grins. Riku had not been fooled though, especially since there was a large pile of burned things in the corner of my room, and refused to leave when I told him at nine that he should be getting home.

So now we sat in silence as the Taking Back Sunday CD clicked on after the Three Days Grace CD was over on my three disc player. Picking Gandalf this time, I ran into everything and made them die in seconds, pleased at the mass destruction I was causing.

"Roxas is home today." Riku said glancing at me again.

"Yeah?" I yawned, raising an eyebrow curiously.

"…Sora told me that he and Cloud were going shopping with Leon today."

"Is that so?" What is he trying to tell me?

"Damn it! Are you thicker than Sora? Why don't you meet up with him?" Riku said in a more commanding tone than a questioning one.

"I guess…"

"I guess? Axel, he freakin' kissed you the other day. He likes you. And your going to say "I guess" to going out with him?" Riku crossed his arms in annoyance and I crossed my arms, imitating him.

"Sorry! I just had an episode with my asshole father about being gay and knocked him out. Certainly I feel up to going out with the guy that my father hates and doesn't want me to see. Of course, totally, my mom might get in trouble for letting me leave the damn house after what I did yesterday but who cares?" I snarled angrily at him and threw my hands into the air.

"Chill Axel, I didn't mean it like that." Riku uncrossed his arms and put them up in front of him. I sighed and ran my hand through my hair.

"Sorry, Riku. I just, my mom doesn't mind, but my dad is a dickhead. I don't want him to bother my mom if she lets me out of the house, which she will. He is so intimidating to her…"

"I get it, Axel. It's okay. But dude, you could just say that you were going to go out to do some project at my house."

"Namine!" I exclaimed.

"What?" Riku's face screwed up into a puzzle look and I laughed.

"It's perfect! I work with her in Mansex's class. I could say that I'm going over there to work with her." I grinned. Oh yeah, who's smart now?

"So you're on good terms with her now?" Riku asked, knowing of my pervious hatred towards the girl. Nodding, he grinned. "Well, we should call her first and tell her. That way, if they call her up to make sure your there, she'll say yes and that you can't speak right now 'cause…"

"I'm in the bathroom. I had some spoiled milk."

"Good thinking." Riku said and grabbed the phone. I didn't know her number, but when Riku started dialing, I could only assume he knew it. Riku handed me the phone and as soon as it went to my ear I heard her crystal clear voice.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Namine." I said uncertainly. How was she going to react to me calling her when I was so mean to her?

"Oh! Hello, Axel. What can I do for you?" I could hear the smile from through the line, making me slightly cringe. Who could be that happy all the time?

"Yeah, well, remember our project…?"

"Yeah, I have all your information here. Is there something wrong with it?"

"Well, I was wondering if I could come over. But not like really come over."

"I don't think I understand." She answered back, puzzled.

"Well, I need to go see Roxas, but my dad wouldn't let me go out if he knew I was going to see him. So I need to pretend like I'm going over your house so I can go out and meet up with Roxas." I said, trying to sound as desperate as possible.

"Axel, stop with acting desperate. You don't have to do that to make me let you 'come over.' Of course you can go out to meet him."

"You don't have a problem with that?"

"Nope."

"You mean, I thought you liked him."

"Oh, gosh no! I only like him as a good friend. I think it'd be awesome if you two could get together." She giggled.

"I didn't say I liked him!"

"But that doesn't mean you don't." I growled into the phone, hearing her laugh some more.

"Fine. I'm 'coming' now."

"Okay, bye!" She hung of the phone. I looked over to see a snickering Riku. I flipped him off and went out of my room; looking for a parental figure I could tell that I was going over Namine's house.

"I wonder why she was up so early," Riku said, puzzled as he looked at the clock. I realized it too, that it was way too early for her to be up. I would also find no parents awake at this hour either. I guess we were pretty tired to not think of the time before calling her.

"Maybe it's one of those girl things. Sleepover or something."

"Like this isn't a 'sleepover?'" Riku raised an eyebrow.

"No, it's not. It is an 'all nighter.'"I smirked.

"Still, I wonder…" Riku put his chin in his hand, thinking. "Do you think… she's doing your project?" I glanced at him, doubtful.

"Why would she do a project on a weekend? Unless…she's hiding something." I leaned on the doorway, now interested in what Namine could be doing. If it was the project, it was due later that week. She didn't have to do it on the weekend. "Whatever. I can't go over her house at this time anyways, so let's find something to do in the meantime." That something to do was, surprisingly, finding my Pokemon game and becoming addicted to burning all the other ones with ember. Oh, the joys of burning things.

Riku wanted to trade a Blastoise for my Charizard. Pssh, what does he take me for?


"Are you ready?" Riku said from behind me.

"What's there to be ready about? It's Roxas." I rolled my eyes. Riku shrugged and patted me on the back.

"Have fun." I glanced at him.

"Where are you going?"

"Don't you not want me to be here?" Riku raised an eyebrow. "Or do you need some help controlling the date?"

"I do not!" I huffed and crossed my arms.

"Well then, I don't need to be here." He shrugged and started down the street. Crap, I did need help. I don't know anything about 'asking people out.' I haven't even seen a romance movie to help me with this. Slapping my hand over my face, I sighed, and knocked on the door.

"Coming!" I heard stumbling feet, something falling, and most likely Roxas grabbing it just before it hit the floor and setting it back in its place. The door swung open. "Hello-ohmygod." Roxas said as he noticed it was me. He seemed to silently panic as his eyes started to dart around and think of what he should say or do. His choice of action was to settle for staring at the floor. Now, this wasn't going so well. Smirking, I tilted his chin back up so his eyes had to look into mine.

"Ax-" I cut him off by gently placing my lips on his. I could feel that his eyes were still open, so I slowly pressed my lips harder on his soft ones. I felt his hands start to knot through my hair, pulling me down closer to his face. He moaned and I slid my tongue in to search his mouth as my hands started to slither their way under the back of his shirt.

"Yo, I need to get to Leon's car." Instantly I pulled back to see Cloud staring at me and a now very red Roxas. "Oh no, please continue, you're just…hogging the doorway. Excuse me," Cloud continued as he sidled past me and Roxas, out the door, and practically leapt onto Leon instead of the seat next to him.

"S-sorry Roxas, Uh, um, excuse me…" Sora managed to stutter as he quickly got by us and jumped into the back of the car. I saw Leon pry Cloud off of him long enough to send us an acknowledging wave before driving off.

"Uh…" Roxas directed his eyes to the very plain looking front porch of his house. Then came the awkward silence.

"Let's-" we said at the same time, causing another same silence to come on.

"Let's go somewhere." I grabbed his hand and started down the porch. His other hand that was on the door pulled it closed as he was pulled along side of me.

"Where?" He asked, looking up at me. I smirked at him and ruffled his hair.

"Where do you want to go?"


Never, ever, ever, ever, ask Roxas where he wants to go. This was a lesson I learned long ago, but I was so caught up in the moment of him being mine today, that I had forgotten this lesson. So we ended up at Toys R Us, in Animal Alley. Oh but this was worth the ride there. Roxas had been a bit more daring than he would normally have as we rode here. He had placed his arms around my waist as normal, but as the ride went on they slowly made their way slightly up my shirt. Not that I minded though, the feel of his hands made me shiver in delight.

I stuck my tongue out at another passer-by that was staring at me as I had my arms around Roxas with my hands a good way up the front of his shirt. But he didn't mind, not at all. He gleefully rummaged the shelves until he found the same animal he had found that day we saw Namine at the mall. Grabbing the black thing with yellow eyes, he showed it to me over his shoulder.

"Isn't he cute?" He asked and I nodded my head in a dazed response. I rested my chin on his shoulder, taking in the sweet scent of his hair. He held the thing, I think the tag said Heartless on it, in his left hand as he 'hmmed' and went back to searching the shelves. Why did he want something that was called Heartless? He had two hearts, mine and his, already, so he definitely wasn't heartless. He picked up a silver one, that wasn't as cute as the other one. I only used that word because Roxas used it.

"He's cool…" He carefully turned him around in every way possible before nodding and keeping it in his right hand. He leaned his head back so it rested against my shoulder and sighed. "I'd like to stay like this, but I want to go buy them now." He said. I frowned, but still pulled away so we could make our way to the cash register. I took the silver one from him and looked at it. It was called a Nobody. Sighing, I took the other one too and put it on the conveyer belt. Roxas was so depressing on the inside. But I guess that's one of the reasons why I-

"Hey what are you doing?" He looked at me puzzled.

"Buying them for you?" I replied questioningly. Did he not want me to buy them for him? Was I not supposed to buy them?

"Oh…thanks." He smiled and turned his gaze to the ground. Smirking I grabbed them off the conveyer belt as we started to walk out. I leaned over and kissed him on the head.

"No problem." I handed them to the scarlet Roxas who hugged them against his chest. Suddenly, my phone started to ring. This wasn't good because it was the ring that Riku set Namine's number to after he programmed it into the phone. Anxiously, I pulled the phone out and flipped it open.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Axel?" Namine replied in a distressed voice.

"Namine what is it?"

"Your father-"

"Axel you come here-now."I almost dropped the phone as I heard his shout through the phone.

"I'm sorry Axel! He called before, and I told him that you weren't available to talk because you were in the bathroom. But he kept calling and now he's over here!" Namine started to sound hysterical and I could only imagine what she looked like.

"Calm down, Namine." I took a deep breath and glanced at Roxas, who was happily distracted by playing with the stuffed animals. He is so amazing; the simplest things make him happy. I tore my eyes away from him and looked down the street. "I'll be there soon."


Ahh cliff hanger!

Yes that scene with Axel and Roxas was so not planned. But I couldn't help it anymore. So that's why its so weird. Ah, Cloud is always the perfect person so come and break stuff up. He also does that in HPL, my first story. Cloud is so special hehe.

So review por favor andI will soon return with the answer to waht happens to Axel? What does his father do? What will happen to Roxas?

Why was Namine up so late?

All these answers and more on the next GD! (that sounds like Dragonball Z. xD)
