I sat in my room as the alarm clock buzzed over and over again. I ignored it as I stared out the window, curled up on my window seat I watched the children below playing in the streets. It was summer, the school year would be starting next week, I was nervous as hell, but I was trying desperately to ignore it. Today was my day with Axel.

I smiled a little at the thought as children squealed with delight below, the younger they were the earlier they got up, which meant that you would wake up each morning to the sound of children running in the street. Excited for the beginning of the school year, but sad to see their summer playtime ending.

I sighed and got up from where I sat and shut off the alarm before stripping out of my clothes, I could hear my dad and Sora downstairs yelling at the video game they were playing in the living room.

I walked to my dresser and pulled out one of my button up white shirts and a pair of black jeans. I pulled on my checkered wristband and brushed my spiky blonde hair, it fell into its usual style, and I pulled on a black choker. I slid my black and white rings onto my fingers and sat down on the bed.

With a sigh I flopped backwards and rested with my hands behind my head; the only noises were the ones from downstairs and the ones outside. But other than that it was completely silent; it was slightly uncomfortable but nothing I could do would change it. I didn't wanna leave yet, in case Axel came by while I was out.

I sat up and looked around the room, I didn't like the silence, the sun was growing high in the sky, and I smiled. I loved the sight of the sun; all the scenery in this town was beautiful, despite how some of it was dead.

I began to pace across the room until I heard silence downstairs. Then there was footsteps on the stairs and then a light tapping sounded on my door, I walked to it and opened to find Sora standing there.

"Hey, Roxas, I was wondering, what are you doing today?" he asked smiling.

I bit my lip lightly and sighed, "I'm actually gonna be hanging out with Axel today, he's gonna show me around the town," I explained timidly.

Sora grinned widely and I felt a blush start to creep over my face, "Oh Roxas, I hope things work out the right way today," he said before walking off.

I stood there silent for a moment, confused and embarrassed beyond any point. What did he mean for things to work out right?

I glanced at the clock on my desk before hurrying downstairs as there was a knock on the front door. I heard dad open the door and I ran down the stairs quickly as I heard Axel's voice on the front door step.

"Ah, good morning Axel," dad said grinning, "You here for Sora?"

Axel chuckled and it sounded it so heavenly, I leapt off the last few stairs, "Nah, I'm here for Roxas."

I slid around the side of the door at that moment and dad jumped in surprise, "Sweet Jesus, when the hell did you get here?" he asked.

I smiled a little and shrugged, Axel held out his hand, "Shall we?" he asked in a smooth voice, I smiled widely and nodded, taking his hand. He led me out of the house before letting go of my hand and then wrapping his arm around my shoulders, hesitantly I slid mine around his waist, he didn't react, he didn't pull away, nor did he say anything about it. He grinned widely and his bright green eyes danced wildly in the rising sunlight. "So where shall we begin?" he asked.

I shrugged, "I don't really know the place, so how about you pick," I said, smiling shyly. He glanced at me out of the corner of his eyes and smirked. I blushed lightly and felt my stomach flutter nervously.

"Don't be shy Roxy," he said smiling.

I blushed harder, "R-Roxy?" I asked. He glanced at me and smiled.

"Well yeah," he said, "I've decided to give you a little nick name," he grinned playfully as he lightly tapped the top of my head, "I think it fits you."

"Well…uh…thank you," I replied slightly startled.

"You're quite welcome Blondie," he said grinning as he walked comfortably down the street with his arm around my shoulders and mine around his waist. "So, I think I'm going to take you through the park, then down to the amusement park, then the mall, school areas, and maybe even past a few potential job sites for you as well."

"Why are you doing all this for me?" I blurted out after a moment of silence. I didn't want to sound rude or anything. But he didn't know me, but he was easily dropping whatever plans he may have made just to spend time to show me through the town.

"Because, I like you, and I intend to spend as much time with you as possible, so pretty much you can consider the fact, that I'm after your heart," he said grinning as he planted a light kiss on my cheek, then grabbed my hand and started running, dragging me behind him as my face turned beet red.

My…heart? But I was nobody…
