Chapter 2 A New Mission

"Hey Rox! Axel called out to the blonde boy walking down the hall before him. The boy stopped and turned around, scowling at whoever was calling him that name. Upon realizing it was Axel, however, his glare became a sunny smile meant only for the Chakram wielder.

After their little slumber party, Axel began to follow Roxas around the castle, first as an annoying gnat, but slowly becoming as welcome as a butterfly on a summer day. Axel, however, was no butterfly, but more like…a drug-addicted pyromaniac with an obsession with sex. At least there was never a dull moment…

"Hey," Roxas greeted the older man, his smile slipping away while his ego replaced it with his usual stoic expression, "How are you?"

"Not bad, not bad…And you?" Axel asked, walking ahead of the blonde and glancing back at him. Roxas jogged to catch up to the redhead, speaking as he did so.

"I'm fine. Where you going?"

"Just grabbin' some breakfast 'fore I head out…"

"So the kitchen, then?" Roxas asked sarcastically, already becoming annoyed with the older man's attitude.

"Yep," Axel replied smirking.

"Then where are you 'heading out' to?" Roxas walked a bit faster to keep up with the redhead's long, lazy strides. He didn't like being so short.

"I'm goin' wherever you go," Axel flashed a toothy grin at the boy, winking soon after.

"Why…?!" Roxas' face took on a look of complete terror and he stopped walking. Axel stopped with him.

"Mansex gave me a new mission."

"And?!"

"I'm supposed to follow you around."
