Strange
"A-Axel, there's something weird going on." You stutter weakly, almost regretting saying anything after the words spill from your mouth. Your face feels hot, though you don't know why because the sun is low in the sky and usually your face only feels warm like this when you've been in the sun too long, but that can't be the reason today.
Axel's ice-cream is halfway to his mouth when he stops, lowering it slightly and glances over at you, a short red eyebrow rising in question, "Hmm?"
"Well, uhm... I think there's something wrong with me."
And when you explain what's wrong; the weird feeling in the pit of your stomach: it's strange, but not unpleasant, and the tingling you get in a certain part of your anatomy, the uncomfortable warmth and the way it gets stiff, a strange expression briefly flashes across Axel's face – but it's gone before you can try to decipher it and he chuckles which just makes you want to hide your face, which now feels a little bit like you're standing too close to Axel's fire.
"What are you thinking about when you get like that?"
For some reason the idea of explaining this to him makes you feel a bit sick, like your stomach is trying to flip around inside you. It's not a pleasant feeling, but you manage to keep your breakfast down. You avoid looking at him and stutter out that it happens sometimes. Like when you notice Larxene's breasts (taking only sneaky, brief glances because if she ever noticed you, you're sure it would not end well), or when you looked at Xion and can't help but notice the slight curves of her body under her cloak, and the idea of what's beneath it makes you feel pleasantly warm.
You glance at Axel again with a scowl scrunching your features, daring him to laugh at you again.
But Axel's face goes strange again, closed off and almost... stiff. He's quiet for a long moment and the longer he's quiet the more you fidget, uncomfortably hot, your stomach still flipping about, but finally he shrugs, avoiding your eyes as he tells you that it's normal and it happens when you're attracted to someone.
But what you left out was the fact that sometimes you get like this from thoughts of him, sometimes you wake up from dreams about him and you've got this problem that you don't know how to get rid of, but it's too awkward to tell Axel this; you think he'd laugh again.
So you just smile at him weakly in thanks before turning back to stare out at the horizon before you.
