Last time...

Axel quickly jumped up, and ran at Xemnas. He reached his hand up to grab Roxas's half-heart. Xemnas pulled back, leaving Axel to crash into the wall. The Organization leader dropped the half'heart into Roxas's chest and turned to Axel. Calmly, he spoke, "You want to save your love. I understand. Let us fight for him."

Axel grunted, regaining his balance, "When and where?"

"Tomorrow morning, 5 a.m. All pathways will lead to the battle ground."

The room went white, and suddenly, Roxas was asleep in bed, and Axel was wide awake in the chair.

-Chapter 3-

First Date !mini lemon!

It was eleven a.m. The sun filtered in through a window overlooking the bed, and lit Roxas's face up. The young boy stirred slightly. Axel rose from his chair and walked to the bathroom to inspect his wounds. Nothing! "I could have sworn there was a rip on my stomach," he said to himself, "Was it just a dream?"

Axel walked back to Roxas and pulled down the covers to check his chest. To Axel's suprise, he found nothing. Not even a scar. "Roxas, wake up kiddo," Axel gently shook the boy.

"Hm? What is it?" Roxas asked.

"Look," Axel pointed at Roxas's chest, "all better."

Roxas smiled, "Wow, I feel great now, too!"

Axel figured that last night had been erased from his memory, "So, want some toast?" Axel asked.

Roxas nodded, and the red-head jetted off to make toast for his once-lover.

- - -

'He was fighting for me,' Roxas thought as he stole some of Axel's shorts and pulled them on, 'He's got to really care about me,' Roxas searched through the drawer for a shirt, 'and I care about him, too.'

- - -

Axel returned with toast a few minutes later, to find Roxas sitting on the bed looking at a yearbook. "Hey," Axel said, "Don't look at that!"

"Why?" Roxas laughed, turning the page.

The red-head jumped for the book and said, "Because I look like a total dork in it!"

The two boys started laughing and play-wrestled. Roxas collapsed on Axel in a fit of giggles.

"Wow, you're tough, Rox," Axel joked.

Roxas settled down, and looked sincerely into Axel's eyes, "Hey Axel?"

"Hm?" Axel stared back, taking in how cute Roxas was.

"A lot has been coming back to me, and I'm wondering if we could have a relationship again."

Axel was stunned, but grinned nonetheless, and replied, "That'd be so awesome!"

Roxas leaned down and kissed Axel on the cheek, then bursted out in another fit of giggles.

"What!" Axel was confused, "What now Roku?"

"Hahaha, you're just so silly!"

Axel play smacked Roxas on the cheek, "Oh please! You are a dork!"

He gave Roxas a kiss on the forehead, then offered him toast.

The boys lazed around for about a half hour more, until Axel had an idea, "Wanna go somewhere?" he asked.

"Where?" Roxas seemed interested.

"Not sure. Let's just go fore a walk and wherever we end up will be it," Axel smiled.

Roxas agreed. They put on their shoes, and left for wherever.

- - -

Xemnas was in his training chamber, preparing for his forced fight with Axel the next morning. "I'm not going to let Axel get away with this one," he encouraged himself.

- - -

"Axel! Look!" Roxas giggled as he watched two pandas playing.

In the end, the boys decided to go to the zoo."Awe, their so cute," Axel smiled at Roxas.

It was the blond's first time to the zoo, that he could remember, that is, so he was absolutely adorable to watch. "Let's get some ice cream, Roku," Axel suggested.

Roxas's smile could melt icebergs. "Yay!"

So much was coming back to him as he held Axel's hand, when he looked into his eyes, when he laughed. The two walked off to the icecream stand. "Two Chocolate Strawberry cones, please," Axel asked politely, pulling out five dollars from his wallet.

Roxas took a cone and looked strangely at it as the pair walked over to a bench to sit. "What a strange flavor. Chocolate Strawberry."

Axel looked anxiously at the boy, "Is it okay? You always used to like it."

Roxas took a lick of it and smiled, "It's delicious! Thanks!"

The red-head let his mind wander to places it shouldn't while watching Roxas eat his ice cream. He stopped when he was interrupted by Roxas himself asking why he wasn't eating.

"Oh!" Axel said, seeing the spot of icecream drip onto his pant leg. "Damn," he cursed, wiping up the chocolate with his finger and licking it. He licked the melting parts of his icecream and laughed.

When they finished their icecream, the boys walked around the zoo some more. They were staring down at some fish, feeding them little pellets, and enjoying the sunlight on their faces. Roxas tossed down his last piece, and sighed. Axel looked down at him. The breeze was blowing little golden strands in and out of his face. Suddenly, Roxas glomped Axel.

"Ah! What?" Axel said, suprised.

"I can't believe I've been missing out on this. On you," Roxas buried his face in Axel's torso.

Axel smiled, and ruffled his hair. "Hey," he said.

"Yeah?" Roxas looked up.

"I'll always be here for you. And I mean always." Axel gazed into his love's eyes.

"Let's go home, Axel." Roxas suggested, and Axel agreed.

- - -

Xemnas turned in at 8 that night. "Phoo... Axel was always trouble."

- - -

But at 8, Axel was sitting on the bed, holding Roxas. The two were staring up at the ceiling, thinking about the day.

"Axel," Roxas turned around to look in the red-head's eyes.

"Hm?"

"I love you."

Axel was stunned, but he smiled, "I love you, too, Roxas."

The two shared their first real kiss since Roxas had lost his memory. Roxas let Axel's tongue dart between his teeth, and run along the roof of his mouth. Axel tugged at the blond's shirt, and recieved a moan in reply. But Roxas broke the kiss.

"What's wrong?" Axel asked.

"I can't sleep with you tonight. I'm not ready for it."

"Mm, That's fine."

Roxas snuggled up into Axel's chest, and kissed it. "Axel, I don't want you to fight tomorrow."

"How do you know?"

"I remember from last night."

"Oh," Axel answered, "But I have to. I don't want you to be taken away from me."

"But Axel, we can just run away." Roxas gripped his shirt, pleading with him.

"I have to, Roxas. Because I love you, I have to protect you."

"Fine. But if you die, I'm going to be pissed off." Roxas pouted.

"Come on, it's time to sleep."

The two boys pulled the covers over them, and Axel set the alarm for 3 a.m.

- - -

BEEP BEEP BEEP!

Axel drowsily reached over and smacked the alarm clock to shut it up. It was still dark out. Roxas groaned, and his eyes flitted open. "Axel" he whined.

The Red-head kissed him on the cheek, and unwrapped himself from the small boy. He crawled out of bed, and went to the bathroom.

Axel stripped, and turned on the water for a shower. He stepped inside his Jacuzzi, and let the water beat down on him. He heard a small tapping on the door. "Come on in, Roxas," he answered.

The door squeaked open, and Axel peered through the curtain to see that Roxas was standing in the nude. "Would it be wierd if I showered with you?" he asked.

Axel replied by laughing and pulling him in. He kissed him on his neck and whispered, "A bit forward for an uke, huh?"

Roxas pulled away and play-hit him in the chest, "Don't use that term so vulgarly!"

Axel laughed, and pulled Roxas down to a sitting position, and changed the water flow to fill a bath. "Let's do this instead."

He poured some bubble bath in, then reached for the shampoo. Even though the tub was pretty big, it was still cramped. Axel moved to the back of the tub, forcing Roxas to sit in front of him. "Come here so I can wash your hair," he said, pouring some shampoo on Roxas's blond hair.

Roxas smiled, "You want to wash me? What am I, a puppy?"

"Yeah," Axel paused and whispered in his ear, "my dirty little puppy."

Roxas pouted and let Axel wash him.

Axel dipped Roxas's head under the running water to rinse it. When he lifted his head back up, Roxas looked sort of angry. "I could have done that part myself!"

The bath was full now, so Axel shut off the water. He looked at Roxas, who's hair was soaked, and the water beaded up on his skin. Roxas stared at Axel and sighed, "This is so nice right now."

Axel nodded, and felt Roxas's shoulders, he was so little compared to Axel, who'd always been very tall. Axel was interrupted by a small hand on his inner thigh, very close to a sensitive area. "Axel..." Roxas started.

Roxas scootched closer to Axel, right in front of him, actually, and began working his hand up and down Axel's shaft. The red head moaned Roxas' name, and rested his hands on his love's hips.

Axel then took his hand away from his penis, and pulled Roxas on top of him. Roxas was also hard. "You told me you didn't want to," Axel reminded him, kissing on Roxas's neck.

Roxas moaned, and said "Now I do,"

"Then let's do it right." Axel said, pulling the plug to drain the tub.
