A/N: I didn't want to be killed... so I updated. At first I went through maybe... 35 false starts on this chapter but once I got the right one it just... came to me! If you don't like it then too bad, I worked hard on this chapter just for your enjoyment and I don't really care if you don't like it or not. I GET POINTS FOR TRYING! I love you people who do like it though, or at least apriciate my trying to do something! Please Reveiw!

"Roxas" A soft voice whispered in the darkness, "You underestimate me, my love." Those words sent a shiver down the blonde boys spine. He couldn't see anything, just the little patch of light he was under. "You presume me dead, when you know full well that I am anything besides dead!"
He couldn't speak, how he wanted to speak, scream, anything! That voice belonged to the only person that could make him feel, that voice belonged to Axel. Was this a dream? He couldn't tell... he couldn't tell anything anymore.
"Don't encase yourself in sorrow Roxas, that would not be good for either of us. I am not dead, as much as I know you are going to protest that I am. I can't wait to see the look on your face when I can see you again, my contract is almost up! I have waited six years for this Roxas, and I won't let you get depressed while I have to wait. Years... way to many years Roxas." The voice went on. Two emerald spheres could now be seen, looking down at the blonde.
"You... hate... me..." Roxas finally said, voice echoing just how shaken he was at the moment.
A dark chuckle could be heard from the darkness in respond. "There is a thin line between love and hate, got it memorized?" with that the green depths left his sight.
"A... Axe... Axel... AXEL!" Roxas screamed reaching out for the other.

"AXEL!" Roxas screamed out sitting up in his bed panting. Looking around he noticed that he was in his room, "Damn, another dream." he groaned as he rolled over on his bed and noticed his window was slightly ajar. With a curious eye he got up and closed it, leaning back against the cool glass. "Why can't you just leave me be?" he asked himself before trudging back tot he bed, glancing down at his clock.
3:17 am the numbers glowed happily at him, not caring that their owner was having sleeping trouble and only got to bed at 12:45 after coming home from the graveyard. In blind rage he threw his clock against the wall, making the numbers fade like dying embers of a flame... flame... Axel... he growled in frustration again and threw the nearest object he could find at the already abused clock. The shoe hit the wall with a loud crash, effectively hitting the clock once again. In this process the picture that was hanging above it fell and the glass from the frame shattered.
Roxas' eyes widened as he ran over to where the shattered glass now fell to the floor and picked up the picture. The glowing eyes of his dead friend shown back at him, as if the red-head had no cares in the world. Taking it out of the broken frame he went back over to his bed, holding the image close to his chest and cried himself back to sleep, never noticing the gaze that was upon him again.

"I never took you for the crying type Roxas." a certain red-heads voice invaded his ears. The tone that was being used was that of humor, and something that the blonde boy couldn't detect.
"Shut up!" This time Roxas could speak, not only listen, "You are just a dream so why the hell should I listen to you anyway?" The younger scowled into the darkness.
"A dream huh? You have such little faith in my Roxas! I already told you, my contract is almost up then I can see you face-to-face again! Of course it will have to be at night but that isn't going to be a problem I don't think... what do you think?" Axel asked, coming into the light this time instead of lurking in the shadows again. His thin body was clad in a black jacket that reminded Roxas of the matrix.
"What I think is that I should wake-up and forget that your sorry ass ever came into my life." The blue eyed boy responded, venom coating every syllable.
"Yet I am not the one throwing their alarm clock around." a chuckle came as he saw the blush appear on Roxas's lips. "On another note, I don't think that you are sorry at all that I can into your life." It felt as if his lips were right next to his ear as he said this. A shiver went down Roxas's spine. He was about to look over and cling to Axel when...

"ROXAS! Come on!" he could hear Sora banging on his door. A groan escaped his lips as he looked at the ceiling in annoyance"Do not make me come in there Blondie!" his brother growled at him from the other side of his door. "This year I will NOT let you be depressed!" he declared.
"Fine I am coming you annoying twit!" Roxas yelled back at him and got up to get dressed, deciding that if he didn't get up the brunette was never going to leave him alone.
"That is better! We are leaving soon to go to that new Amusement park! Oh by the way it's noon! Get down here quickly!" Sora said and skipped away from his brothers door. Another sigh escaped Roxas' lips as he pulled on his clothing, making sure to also slip on one of Axel's old jackets.

When they got there, they meaning Sora, Riku, Reno, Seifer, Hayner, and himself, Sora was going on about how he couldn't wait for the fireworks display they were having that night. Roxas tuned him out and most of the world around him. This worked for a little bit until a certain friend of his noticed.
"No way are you allowed to be depressed today Roxas!" Hayner said glaring at him deeply, "Thats the whole reason we are HERE so you will FORGET for a little bit! Jesus Christ!"
"Yeah I know... I will attempt to have some fun, but I refuse to promise anything!" he said, but by now he couldn't hide the small grin on his lips.
"That's the spirit short-one!" Reno piped up, slinging a arm around his shoulder, "giving us your usual uncertain promises! I think we will force him to have fun yet!" The rest of the group laughed, including Roxas himself.

The day was spent on rides and games and now it was time for the fireworks. A huge group of people were gathered at the park main entrance anticipating the display that was about to go on. Roxas had accidentally had fun today, with only a few fleeting thoughts of 'Axel would have loved this' running through his mind. He stared at the night sky waiting with the rest of the crown before them. He momentarily looked down to snag another piece of the Funnel Cake him and Sora were sharing, when he saw a flash of red. He knew Reno was right-beside him so who... his head sped up as he ran in the direction he had seen it.
The group called him name but he couldn't hear it as he went through the crowd, looking with hopeful eyes. When getting to the edge of the crowd he saw nothing, disappointment etched itself onto his crest-fallen face. Finally Seifer caught up to him.
"Hey man, what's wrong?" He asked, worry evident in his voice.
"Oh it's nothing... I just thought I saw someone that I know..." he said walking back to their group. A burst of brilliant silver and gold illuminated the sky, the crowd cheering because the show was starting, but Roxas could no longer enjoy it.
A/N: I don't know... I just think that Sora would be fascinated by fireworks! I know I am! I also self-narrate the demise of cookies being dunked in milk and then eaten... but I am just strange like that. I hope you enjoyed this more them I enjoyed writing it because this chapter, in my mind, is BAD! Oh well, love you guys! Review?
