"That jerk!"

Roxas woke up at the sound of his best friend's distressed statement. He rubbed his eyes groggily before looking over Axel's shoulder and at the note he held in his hand.

On it was written: 'I heard you climbing up the wall. Of course I noticed. But since you technically broke into my house you have to do the gardening. 3 Cloud.

Roxas laughed. That was just like Cloud.

"He got you there."

Axel shot a tired glare at the blond beside him.

He then noticed something on the bedside table. It was a photo of the two boys cuddling.

Roxas noticed the photo as well and laughed as he read the caption.

'I made copies. They will be distributed if the garden is found burnt in any way.'

"He got you AGAIN," Roxas mocked.

This time, Axel pushed him out of bed.

"Hey Roxas," Axel forced his voice to remain casual.

"Hi Axel," Roxas said in the same tone of voice.

This initiated a staring contest between the two.

"What are you two doing?" Riku, a friend of the two boys asked. They were sitting in English. It had been two weeks since Prom night and Roxas was over his Namine induced sadness.

"That time of year again, it is," Axel replied, not taking his eyes away from Roxas'. Riku blinked at Axel's tone- somewhat similar to Yoda.

Suddenly both boys blinked and dug their hands into their pockets bringing up two packages.

"Happy Anniversary!" the two said at the same time presenting the small wrapped gifts to each other.

"Anniversary?" Riku asked.

"We have been friends for eleven years to the exact day," Roxas explained happily.

"Hence the gifts," Axel added pointing to the wrapped parcels.

"Open yours first," Roxas said turning to his best friend.

Axel quickly tore off the paper and stared at his gift in disbelief.

"A chew toy? Rox, I don't have a dog" Axel's voice was disappointed.

Roxas smiled, ignoring his best friend's disappointment, "I know. I figured you might want to try it on Reno or something." Axel grinned at the suggestion.

"Open yours."

Roxas needed no second invitation. He tore off the paper quickly and dug out his gift.

"A foot long plastic samurai sword," Roxas observed, although his voice was slightly questioning. Axel simply nodded vigorously. Roxas smiled swinging the small red plastic sword a bit.

Riku was now torn between laughing so hard he choked or backing away from the two, yelling 'Escaped mental patients!'

Roxas noticed the look and laughed. "We never buy each other real gifts. Instead we buy something to share and give gag gifts."

Riku decided to laugh. He kept the second option open though. The two best friends smiled as well.

Riku hesitated, "What did you guys buy to share?"

Roxas and Axel raised their hands. Their two pinkies were wrapped loosely around each other. Both of them were wearing matching gold rings.

Riku gaped, "How did you two afford that?"

"We paid for half of it each. The guy at the store gave us a discount... Something about how he knew how hard it was to be a gay couple in these modern times," Roxas laughed.

Riku raised an eyebrow. "I thought you two said you weren't..."

Axel laughed at the expression and the silverette's reluctance to say the word 'gay.'

"We weren't going to waste a discount. That guy's fault for assuming we were a couple," Axel explained.

"Can you blame him? Two boys are in a jewellery store buying MATCHING rings," Riku accused.

"Yeah, it's actually my fault. I thought they looked cool," Roxas chuckled nervously. He then held out his wrist, giving Riku a better view of the ring. The letter 'A' was carved in beautiful handwriting. Axel showed his ring which had the letter 'R' engraved in it.

"Oh... A for Axel and R for Roxas? Then you traded rings," Riku noticed. Both boys smiled and high fived the hands that had the matching rings.
