-1It's been forever, right? Well, you can thank the song 'Monster' for this added chapter.
It suddenly reminded me of this story, and I was like.. "Huh. Maybe I should add a chapter, just to see if people still read it."
Here it goes.
---------
Sora's wet fingers began to slowly release Axel's as another wave of river water tumbled over the fiery haired boy.
His head surfaced once again, coughing and sputtering.
"Don't let go!" He pleaded.
"I'm not trying to!" Sora screamed back, his feet slipping in the muddy ground toward the edge of the river bank, the water rushing even faster.
"I can't swim!" Axel yelped, now with a hand clutching the muddy terrain for dear life.
"I've noticed!" Sora yelped, as he was practically pulled in from another wave of water rushing passed, nearly swallowing the red-headed boy.
"There's a huge storm coming in, you'd best be getting back to your house," The cop's words rang through Sora's head, and he gritted his teeth.
With a large pull, he flopped to the side of the bank, Axel coming up as well. The trench-coat clad boy was covered in water from head to toe, shivering violently. The heavy rain poured down continuously, the clouds looking down ominously at them.
"You.. Saved my life.." He said, his jade green eyes opened wide.
Sora rolled onto his stomach, sighing in relief.
"Don't mention it."
"No… You.. Did!" Axel repeated, the words rolling off his tongue as if he were speaking some foreign language.
He jumped from the muddy side of the bank, enveloping Sora in a giant…
Bear hug?
"Thank you so much! I was so scared I was gonna die.." He blubbered, nuzzling his face into the crook of Sora's neck.
Okay. What. The. Hell.
"Uhh.. Axel? Your welcome.. Now if you could please.."
"Get off," Riku hissed, sitting on a rock next to the bank, eyes narrowed.
Sora blinked in realization… Was Riku jealous?
With a satisfied grin on his face, he quickly returned Axel's hug, his tongue out at Riku.
Riku rolled his eyes.
"How childish," He mumbled, crossing his arms.
Sora rolled his eyes. "Look who's talking.." He whispered.
"Huh?" Axel said, releasing Sora.
"Who's talking?" He questioned.
Sora raised his eyebrow.
"Nothing. What?" He said.
Axel looked around, shivering.
"Uhhh.. Maybe its best if we go to my house for now. I doubt you'll be able to get over to yours, with the river flooded like this." He scratched his head, his red damp locks falling into his face.
Sora nodded, standing up and helping Axel to his feet.

Riku sat outside the window in utter jealousy as he watched Sora inside Axel's living room, nuzzled in a blanket, drinking hot cocoa.
"This is sooo not fair.." He growled with his teeth clenched, turning his head away from the disgusting sight.
Axel was waiting on Sora hand and foot, although Sora had obviously been telling him he didn't have to.
Rolling his eyes, Riku slowly wondered if Sora was still infatuated with the bitchy princess herself, Kairi.
A shrug came off his shoulders as he glared at the ground.
It wasn't fair.
Next time Sora was in trouble, he shouldn't be expecting Riku to come to the rescue as usual.
A smirk came to his face, as he hopped from the mailbox he'd been sitting on.
"Yeah…" He said with a grin.
Sora would have to realize just how much he needed Riku.

R&R, suggestions would be nice…?
