Chapter Three

Roxas' P.O.V

I woke up at 10:30 looking awful. My eyes were puffy and my nose was blocked. There's no way I'm going out today. I text Xion and Axel telling them there's no way. Xion text me back saying she couldn't come either... the hell? Axel, however text back asking if I was okay. I said I felt awful and how bad I currently looked and he offered to come over for company. I responded saying that I've got Sora and Cloud. Axel text back with a simple "Oh, okay," and I felt kinda bad. I walked into the hallway, my duvet wrapped around me, "Sora? Cloud?"

"Hey, Roxas, I'm going out with Tifa, Sora's at Riku's. He won't be back any time soon. Bye!" Cloud shouted from downstairs and then left.

I text Axel back, "Hey, Axel I would like you to come over. No one's home and I don't wanna get lonely,"

"I'll be there in ten:)" was the response.

Axel's P.O.V

I took longer than expected because I stopped at the store to get food. I arrived at Roxas' house and knocked on the front door. It was opened by the cute blond wrapped in his black and white checkered duvet. He looked adorable.

"Hey, come in," croaked the blond.

I kinda felt sorry fro him, but in this state he'd probably eat from the palm of my hand. I walked in and closed the door as Roxas shuffled his way up the stairs. I was surprised.

"Oh, yeah, we're going to my room because that's where my bed is.." he croaked again,

"Oh, it's fine. I brought food anyway,"

As I walked into the room I saw white walls with black carpet. Before Roxas' parents died they were like a power couple – a lawyer and a surgeon. Lets just say they were well off – and you could tell. Roxas had a double bed shoved against the wall with a nightstand facing the TV mounted on the wall. Underneath the TV was a chest of drawers with multiple game consoles on top. On the other side of the room was a huge wardrobe near the window. A checkered rug was in the middle of the room.

"Nice room," I commented,

"Err thanks, I thought we could watch a movie or something," Roxas said getting comfy oh is bed.

I looked at him. He honestly looked ill. His eyes were red and puffy, not to mention it was obvious his nose is blocked.

"Axel?"

Crap. I was staring. Or daydreaming. Same thing.

"Ah, sorry. I zoned out. Can I sit?"

"Well, duh. I'm not gonna make you sit on the floor," he laughed – it was like silk wrapping around me.

"It looks pretty comfy though,:" I slipped my shoes off and joined him on the bed.

3 hours later

We had watched 2 movies while snacking on the food I bought. I managed to spoon-feed Roxas the ice cream. It was a win-win situation.

"How about a game?" the blond asked,

"Hmm...Have you got Mario Kart? I love that game! I used to play it with Kairi, Namine and Reno all the time!"

"Yes! That game is like a classic, hang on,"

Roxas proceeded to leave the warmth of his duvet and walked to his shelves lined with games near the wardrobe. I decided to take a plunge. I straightened Roxas' duvet out and laid right in the middle of the bed. Roxas turned around and looked slightly shocked.

"Axel, why'd you do that?"

"Roxas, c'mere. I want to talk to you about something,"

Roxas looked confused as he walked over to his bed as I sat up.

"I know I've only been back for a few days but...Um..." I trailed off

"Axel? What're you on about?: Roxas' eyes were shining. Burning into mine.

"Roxas...Can I kiss you?" It was just above a whisper.

All Roxas was capable of doing was nodding before I swept in. I captured his lips in mine and it felt like forever. It was just kissing – slowly, softly, passionately. Roxas moaned in which I took the opportunity to snake my tongue into his mouth. He moaned again and matched my moves. We were there for ages until I broke away.

"So, um...How about a date?"
