I love alerts and faves of course, but I love reviews MORE! lol...


As soon as Freak-show went tumbling, I ran into the bathroom and locked the door. A quick shower was a great idea. I figure he can wait three hours or go home.

As soon as I walk into my room with the towel around my waist, I see Freakshow. Sitting on my bed. Shirtless. Reading my Journal.

"Oh hey Roxy, this is some interesting stuff you have here."

I could feel my blood boiling.

"Get. Out."

"Roxy, I'm still all wet, could I borrow your towel?"

As much as I'd like to strangle him, I can't do so in a towel. So, I grabbed my clothes and went back into the bathroom to change.

When I got out, he was gone. My Journal is missing too. Apparently, he wanted to finish reading it.

"NAMINE! I need to talk to you!!"

I can hear her coming up the stairs.

"What's the matter?"

I don't know how to tell her that her boyfriend is hitting on me.

"Your boyfriend squeezed my butt."

That was hitting the nail on the head...Namine started laughing hysterically. That was certainly an unexpected reaction.

"Namine! I swear! He's trying to hit on me or something."

"Roxas, you're crazy."

She pulled a picture of him out of her wallet.

"We're really close Roxas. No problems."

And the way she smiled at me, it was like she knew something. The way she looked at him, it was like he could do no wrong. I sigh. Even though he stole my journal, I'll make an attempt to be nice to him. Just for Namine.

...

I didn't realize being nice meant spending the night with him at my house while Namine was over at Kairi's.

Riku and Sora couldn't make it, so it was just the two of us.

"Roxas, you wanna play a game?"

"No."

"Wanna watch a movie?"

"No."

"Let's arm wrestle."

"No"

"I read your Diary..."

"Its a Journal asshole."

Axel sighed, he suddenly looked sad and tired.

"Look, I'm sorry about all of the crappy guys Namine seems to attract."

I look towards him.

"Exhibit A."

"I know you don't like me Roxas, but I really do care about your sister."

"Then why are you bothering me?"

"I figure I should get to know you better?"

I glared at him until he looked away. It was awkward for a couple of minutes, both of us sitting on the couch, staring at the wall.

"So...How about that movie?"

Figuring our 'heartfelt' conversation was over, I put in a random movie and started some popcorn. Once that was done, I put the bowl between us on the couch. The more obstacles, the better in my opinion

Of course 'The Twilight Chakram Massacre' came on. I hate that movie, and it never fails to scare the crap out of me. I mean, who wouldn't be terrified of some redhead with spiky wheels killing everybody? Especially since one of the characters looks like me.

I know, it's ridiculous and I'm paranoid.

I would put in a different film, but I don't want to look like a wimp in front of Axel.

I also didn't want his germs all over my popcorn. I wouldn't reach into the bowl the same time as he did.

He noticed, and stopped reaching into the bowl completely. More for me.

About halfway through the movie, I found out Axel liked to analyze characters.

This part of the movie was sad. The blonde and the Redhead had been best friends. The blonde needed to find out more about his past, so he leaves his best friend.

It rains on screen, the blonde walks past his friend who is leaning against the wall.

"You get on their bad side and they'll destroy you!"

The blonde stops and turns his head

"No one would miss me."

The redhead looks hurt by his statement

"That's not true... I would."

It's cheesy, but still heartbreaking. This is when Axel turns to me.

"Ya know, I think there's more going on here than meets the eye."

"Like what exactly?"

He looked as though he wished he could crawl into the couch.

"Well...I think,that the blonde has secrets, and that the redhead is in love with him. The blonde probably returns those feelings, but he's been hurt, so he won't do anything-

"...and the redhead won't confront the blonde because he thinks that'll only push him farther away. In reality,the blonde really feels like the redhead could help him, but he's afraid for the same reasons." I finished for him.

"Exactly."

I seriously thought I was the only one who came to that conclusion.

"So, I'm not crazy?" I questioned.

Axel started laughing.

"If you're crazy, then I have some serious issues to deal with."

That's when I noticed that the popcorn bowl was upside down on the floor.

"I have issues too ya know."

"Oh? Like what?"

I seriously think there was something in that popcorn, because I couldn't stop talking.

"Well...my sister is dating this guy..."

Axel smirked.

"Really? What's he like?"

"He's freakishly skinny, really tall, looks like his hair was cut with a lawn mower and he annoys the crap out of me...maybe you know him?"

"Nah, I don't think so."

"I found out very recently though, that he is a decent human being, capable of having an actual conversation about something important."

"Oh, maybe I know him. So, what's the issue?"

I REALLY need to stop talking now...but I'm nervous...and when I'm nervous, I babble...

"Well...I think I like him. A lot. And, even though he's my sister's boyfriend, and even though he's a guy, I-..."

I was always told actions speak louder than words, so I kissed him. I don't know what the hell came over me.

After a second, it was obvious that Axel certainly didn't mind cheating on my sister. Asshole.

So why was I still kissing him?

"This is alright with you? Bastard."

"Roxas you started it and if you'd just let me explain-"

"Roxas, Axel."

Namine was walking through the door.

"Namine I'm sorry I don't know why I did it! Really! I'm sorry, but he didn't stop me so he's an ass too! Please forgive me please!"

Axel looked like he was going to start laughing.

"Roxy, you haven't told her why you're apologizing. I for one am not sorry. Not sorry at all."

"Oh, so you're going to break up with her for me huh? Is that how it is?"

"I really don't think Namine minds me doing this."

That asshole kissed me again. I'll admit, he is a really good kisser. Except, he doesn't need the air as much as I do.

"Axel, please stop suffocating my brother."

"Namine I'm sorry really!"

She had tears in her eyes. She wasn't crying though. She was laughing...again.

"Roxas, Axel and I aren't dating. We never were."

I think my jaw dropped.
