On Monday Axel woke up to find a dozen wild flowers lying innocently on his porch. No note or any indication as to who might have left them.
"What the hell?" Axel quietly asked himself, scratching the back of his head. He picked up the small bouquet of flowers. Lilacs and daises, the smell faintly reminded him of something he could quite place. "Who in the hell gives a guy flowers?" Axel sighed and made his way towards his car. He placed the flowers in the passenger seat, figuring they'd look better at the café. He was about to close his door when something caught his eye. It looked like writing on the hood of the car. Axel got back out the car to examine said writing. Etched into the thin layer of dirt that covered his car Axel saw his name written inside a heart.
"Seriously, what the hell?" Axel asked himself for the second time that morning. "I don't have time for this," Axel sighed and got back into his car.
Saying business was slow today would be an understatement. Axel sat at one of the many empty stools, slowly going out of his mind. His supervisor had taken off after three hours leaving Axel alone and horribly bored.
"Bitch," Axel grumbled, the first nice day of the summer and he was stuck at work doing nothing. The bell above the door chimed and Axel turned to see who it was. "Roxas!" Axel shouted. "Thank god, I was going crazy…what up with the balloons?" Axel asked, finally noticing Roxas had walked in with several balloons of various shapes and colors.
"They're for you," Roxas said quietly a light blush tinting his cheeks.
"Why?" Axel asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No reason," Roxas answered. "So, if you're not doing anything after work, would you like to go see a movie…with me?" Roxas asked timidly, seeming fascinated with the balloons floating above him.
"We can go now," Axel said, jumping off his stool.
"D..don't you have to work?" Roxas asked, shocked.
"Do you see anyone here?" Axel asked, gesturing to the empty café.
"OK…" Roxas said.
"Great, just let me close up. You can go wait in my car." Axel told him.
"'Kay," Roxas said and left, his helium friends trailing happily after him.
When Axel finally exited the café, locking the door behind him, he saw Roxas sitting quietly in the front seat of his car. The blond was twirling the flowers Axel had found earlier in his hand while the balloons bounced around in the backseat. Axel smiled as made his way towards the car. The writing from earlier caught his eye again but something was different this time. Another heart had been added, connected to the first.
"Roxas," Said blond was looking at him through windshield. Axel smiled again and quickly got into the car. Roxas almost looked relived when Axel sat down in the driver's seat, smiling.
"So…ya know…you wanna go out?" Roxas asked, facing straight ahead.
"I already thought we were," Axel responded with a smirk.
"Jerk," Roxas grumbled and Axel laughed as he started the car.
