Arixa and Axel's Alphabet
Chapter 3
C is for Courage
Axel stared at the floor inter locking and unlocking his fingers. He had decided to tell Arixa how he felt about her.
Why this idea had suddenly dawned on him he had no idea but he was sure this would be the day he told her that he… "Hey there Carrot top" Axel almost jumped out of skin at the sudden mention of his nick name.
"Oh…" he breathed "Hey Rix" she gave him a sideways glance then plopped down beside him on the couch "I have to tell you something" he said suddenly.
"Okay" she said and turned to face him. He looked into her beautiful turquoise eyes, her loose blue hair slightly concealing the swirl tattoo underneath her left eye.
"Rix I've wanted to say this for a while now" He started. She gave him a puzzled look then nodded for him to continue.
"Arixa I…" He was cut off "Arixa! You have a mission in Halloween Town" Saix bellowed at her. Arixa sighed and nodded "I'm sorry I have to go" She apologized and summoned a Dark Corridor "We'll talk more when I get back" She called as the Darkness enveloped her.
As soon as she was out of sight Axel marched up to Saix.
"What was that for?" The Berserker asked once Axel had slapped him "I was about to tell Arixa how I feel about her" He hissed at is former best friend. Saix rubbed his cheek where he was sure Axel had left a hand print.
"Axel calm down just, talk to her when she gets back" Saix offered. Axel smiled sarcastically at Saix's fake sympathy "Thanks" Axel said and walked out of the Grey Area.
Meanwhile
"Just die already!" Arixa yelled at the giant heartless she was fighting. "Ugh these things just don't quit" She hissed under her breath dodging yet another attack. Her legs were beginning to shake and sweat beaded her forehead. Her breath cam in short gasps in futile attempts at supplying her brain with oxygen. She faltered and then fell to the ground unconscious.
When Arixa woke she was in her room "Wha- where am I?" She asked. She turned to see Axel sitting beside her "Hey sleeping beauty" He said.
She smiled "How'd I get here?" She asked the red head. He shrugged "Well theoretically I had to risk my butt to save you from being mauled by a giant heartless" He said.
Arixa smiled and hugged him "Thank you… But why'd you do it?" She asked. Axel's eyes grew wide "Wh- why? Well uhm" He let go of her. "Because I love you" He said. He turned to see her response and smiled sadly. Arixa had fallen fast asleep.
