Chapter 4

It was then that Saix barged into the room, not bothering to knock.

Axel why aren't you downstairs yet…and why in kingdom hearts' name is Roxas here? You better not be planning something Axel." He drawled.

"Roxas just came down a few minutes ago and we were discussing our training session that is scheduled for this afternoon" Axel said calmly, his poker face perfect.

"That better be all you're doing…." Saix stated before walking out the door and slamming it on his way out.

Roxas let out a breath he hadn't known he was holding. "How do you lie to him so easily? That guy gives me the creeps." He shuddered a little bit.

Axel took Roxas' hand and whispered. "Would you like to know my secret?" Roxas grinned and nodded. "Well, if you imagine Saix wearing a flowery dress, he doesn't seem quite as intimidating." Axel explained with a grin on his face. Roxas started giggling a little bit, which then turned into full out laughter.

"Axel, I gotta admit, that's a pretty good way of dealing with him," He said through his laughter. "I don't think I'll be having trouble facing him again!"

Axel smiled and wrapped his arms around Roxas and pulled him into a hug. "Have no more fear, I'll teach you all my little tricks" Roxas smiled at the thought.

"Thanks Axel, I really appreciate it" Roxas leaned up and touched their lips together before quickly pulling away blushing like mad. Axel, however, wasn't ready to stop kissing so he turned Roxas' head with his hand and gently touched their lips together again. Axel was in heaven. Roxas was pretty happy too. Then, Axel slid his tongue out and pressed it against Roxas' lips. Roxas didn't really know what he was doing, but he opened his mouth just enough for Axel's tongue to slip in. Axel began exploring Roxas' mouth and touched his tongue to Roxas' which sent shocks through both of them. Roxas then got the idea to move his tongue also, and while he was a bit clumsy, both he and Axel enjoyed themselves immensely. Axel began to pull back just enough so that their lips were barely touching. Then he pressed their lips together once more then pulled away completely. Roxas' eyes where shut and he was breathing fast.

Once Roxas had recovered from the kiss he said quietly. "Thanks for not telling him about last night,"

Axel smiled contentedly. "I told you I promised, and I'll never break a promise."

Roxas just smiled.
