Roxas glanced at the TV and grinned, as though he was looking at an audience. "Hey, everyone."
Axel gave him a look like he was insane, eyebrows raised. "Um…who are you talking to?"
The blonde ignored him and kept on going. "I know that you're all probably really excited to learn the results of our New Year's contest. The challenge was this; anyone who reviewed this story at exactly midnight on the day of the new year would be allowed to request something in the literature department from out beloved ghostie-girl13."
The redhead's eyes were wide and he took one of Roxas's shoulders, trying to shake the unfaltering smile from his face. "Roxas. Are you okay? Roxas!"
"Well, to satisfy your curiosity, I will be announcing the winners. Congratulations to 1 and Xanjen, both of whom posted a review at exactly midnight. There won't be any tie breaker; you both my offer a request.
"You may contact ghostie-girl13 at penguinsrule96 gmail . Com (I apologize for the spaces; apparently doesn't allow the posting of emails) with your request included. As for all of you who didn't win--"
"ROXAS!" Axel screamed and glanced frantically at Xigbar, who was watching the two of them like they were a circus show.
"--as a condolence prize, she will tell you this; you know that relationship between Axel and Demyx that's completely broken my heart?"
Axel stopped and blinked, glancing at Demyx, who was standing in the threshold of the doorway. "Wait, what?"
"She would like you all to know that," Roxas continued. "Because she does pity me and my fragile emotional state, the relationship will only last for another two chapters. The last chapter, however, will barely even count because there will be lots of fluff and my heartache will come to an abrupt end when Axel breaks down in my arms for having caused me pain."
"What the hell?" Axel glanced around the room, his expression one of paranoia. "Roxas, what are you talking about?"
"I hope you all had a happy New Year, and Merry Christmas. See you all in chapter 13!"
