Disclaimer: Not mine.
Warnings: See ch.1
AN: Ok yeah. Ch.1 yay and what not. I hope they're not too OOC...tell me if they are. I'll try to change it up then. Anyway, this chapter was originally shorter but I figured it'd be better for me to combine ch.1 and ch.2 because it seems like a better idea then making them seperate. They were too short by themselves anyway.

Love without a heart
Chapter 1

"What's wrong with you blondie? You move slower than a heartless!" Axel laughed as he dodged another hit from Roxas. The blonde boy growled in frustration while Axel continued to taunt and tease him. He threw his blade to the ground and leaned on his knees, trying to catch his breath. Axel had been training him nonstop since he had woken up. After he first arrived here and recovered completly, Xemens had requested that Axel train Roxas. Roxas didn't really understand completly what he was being trained for exactly, but he went along with it. "A-Axel...can...can we please take a break?" Roxas was panting, he was about to be worn out.

Axel raised a brow. "Tired already? Man you really are weak! Nothing like that keyblade wieling twerp...though you really do resemble him." Roxas looked up. "Do you have to keep compairing me to him!" He picked his blade back up and charged at Axel. The red head laughed and blocked his hit. "Nice try Roxas, but you need more practice before you can land a hit on me!" Roxas gave another growl. "Screw you. I'm done with this." He let go of the blade and turned to leave. Axel ran up beside him. "Oh come on! You're such a sore loser!" He ruffled the smaller boy's hair. "You're doing pretty good though. Really. You just gotta keep practicing." "That's what you always say, but I've seen no improvement. Why do I even have to be involved with all of this orginization crap!" Axel tapped him on top of his head lightly. "Because you're the thirteenth and Xemnes said so. But really it's not that bad!" "Whatever..." he muttered sourly.

Axel stretched and then proceeded to unzip his coat. "I will say, you made me work up quite up a sweat blondie." (Anyone else wonder what Axel wears underneath his coat?) Roxas looked up at him but then found himself looking away, a warm blush covering his face. "Why are you stripping while we're walking down the hallway?" "What? I have something on underneath! Like I said, you made me work up quite the sweat! And this jacket is sticking to me!" He looked down at the boy and saw that he was trying not to look at him. Axel smirked. "Something wrong blondie? You look flushed, more so than you did during practice." Roxas kept looking away. "Shut up! I'm fine...just warm."

Axel was suddenly behind Roxas, his breath tickling the boys ear. His hands toyed with Roxas' jacket zipper. "Then why not take this off, ne?" Roxas' eyes widened with surprise and he quickly pushed away from Axel, flustered. "W-What the fuck!" Axel tilted his head back, laughing. "Woah! You're certainly easy to get flustered, aren't ya? Did you like it that much?" He smirked wickedly while poor Roxas just stood in horror. "N-No! W-What the hell is your problem!" He backed away and then started in a full fledge run down the hall. Axel watched him go, a laughing smile still resting on his face. "Oh man that was fun!"

A cool voice soon came from behind him. "Axel, now was that really neccesary to do to the poor boy?" Axel turned to face Marluxia. He shrugged. "It was fun...I'm allowed to have a bit of fun with him, are I not?" Marluxia frowned slightly and stalked over toward Axel, pushing up against a wall. "I hope you don't mean the kind of fun we have Axel." He leaned up and kissed the red head roughly. "Because you're mine."

Axel rolled his eyes and pushed Marluxia back a bit. "Chill Mar, I just want to mess with his mind a bit. But get this straight," he pulled Marluxia's chin up toward him roughly. "You're my toy. It's not the other way around, got it memorized?" He let go and smirked. "You may think you can take control while we're in Castle Oblivion, but I have complete control of you behind the scenes." Marluxia opened his mouth, in hope of arguing with Axel, but the red head just shook his head and turned around. "I'll have to punish you for being so disobediant tonight..." He waved and disappeared around the corner, leaving a flustered Marluxia. Axel certainly had a way of affecting everyone like that.

Meanwhile, Roxas set in his room, trying to figure out what the hell was wrong with him. "It's that stupid Axel. He's annoying and he's...well he's doing something to me! Messing with my mind or something!" He clutched his chest. "But what is this...pain? I don't know what it is, but why does it happen when I'm near him! I don't even have a heart! These feelings shouldn't exist! And...they won't."

He looked down at his chest. "Nothing is there..." Frustrated he flung himself onto his pillow and prayed for sleep to come. All these annoying and confusing thoughts were giving him a killer headache. He didn't even make the realization that this all happened because of the odd fruit he shared with Axel...(yes Roxas...fear the paopu...for it truly controls you! Well it and...me! Mwuahahaha!)

Soon, Roxas was finally starting to get used to the org and everyone in it. Although he did figure out a few things. Larxen was a bitch, Marluxia was weird, Axel was annoying, and the rest of them just scared him. Especially the guy with the beard and all the sharp pointy weapons. He had gotten much better at fighting now, and could knock Axel down better and almost had him beat the other day, but the idiot red head tricked him. Bastard...

Currently, Roxas was being summoned to a meeting, and had been told to wear his hood. They had said something about a new ally and they couldn't have the newbie recognizing him. Roxas really didn't understand why this guy would recognize him, seeing as how the only people Roxas knew were...nobodies. Maybe though it had to do with that kid that Axel was always comparing him to.

Roxas made his way to their meeting room and sat on his chair. It worried him a bit because he was really high up. He honestly didn't understand the point of all of this but whatever, the sooner he got through the better. Everyone else was already seated and apparently they had been waiting on him. He ignored their intense glares and stared down at the silver haired figure waiting before them. Roxas leaned forward slightly and his eyes locked with fierce aqua eyes. A strange feeling of familiarity swept over him. He sat back, confused but tried to shake it off. He looked around to the other members and his eyes met Axel's. The red head smirked at him. Roxas rolled his eyes and looked away. Everything about Axel just irritated him. Yet, there was something else, something Roxas just couldn't place. Which of course irritated him more. He sent a cool glare toward the red head and then turned his attention back to whatever Xemnes was saying.

The meeting seemed to take forever. Roxas found himself losing focus easily and was almost to the point of falling asleep until he heard, "Understand this Riku, Sora must be stopped at all costs..." Roxas' head shot up and he stared down at the silver haired boy which he realized now was Riku. Butit wasn't just his name that caused a reaction from Roxas. 'Sora...? Why...' He shook his head frowning. He hated this! That name...that could only mean it was him. The one he was constantly compared to. Roxas couldn't help feeling loathing towards him.

Once dismissed, Roxas gladly left the room and started toward his own, when he felt someone grab his shoulder. He jumped back and looked up at Axel. "Ha! Jumpy aren't ya?" Roxas pulled down his hood and stared irritably at Axel. "What do you want?" Axel smirked. "I saw how you reacted...pretty humerous. Xemnes will have your head if he knew you were sleeping during his droning." Roxas turned away and shrugged. "Whatever. I don't care, it was dull." Axel grabbed his chin and pulled him so he was facing him. "But, what really concerns me is how you will act toward this Riku...I can't have you getting close to him. It'll make me jealous." Roxas pushed Axel away and freed himself from the grasp. "What the hell are you talking about?"

Axel gently stroked Roxas' face, brushing his bangs out of his eyes. "Now Roxas...are you telling me that you don't feel anything towards me? After all I've done for you?" Roxas backed away, a faint blush rising across his face. "What the hell! You're so weird!" Axel laughed. "You're too easy blondie!" He turned and sent a wave toward Roxas. "Always a pleasure to confuse you!" Roxas glowered. "Damnit Axel! You're a bastard!" Axel just grinned. "Of course, I don't have a father, or even a mother!" He disappeared around the corner, leaving poor Roxas flustered. "Damnit...I hate him!" He turned to go to his room, with one question lingering in his mind. 'Why do I feel so attached to him though?'

Axel stood against a wall in the nearby hallway, his fist clutched. 'What the hell?' Sure he had covered all that up as just a joke, but he knew that what he had just said and done to Roxas...Warning him to keep away from Riku because he really was, 'Jealous? No...this is ridiculous...' He ran an irritable hand through his hair and sighed. 'I'm just really out of it today, that's all. I was just messing with him. Nothin' else.' He pushed off the wall and went into another room. 'Now to mess with someone else's mind...and trust.' He smirked coldly to himself and walked in to find and Marluxia and Larxene sitting at a table. "About time Axel! We have some serious replanning to do." Axe shrugged. "Just because that new kid showed up? Meh, we can use him you know..."
