"This is astounding," Zexion said as his eyes widened, the equivalent of any normal person exclaiming it at the top of their lungs, "there's no way a wound like that could've healed so fast." Axel and Falcon exchanged looks, only they knew what had really happened. In just two days time, Axel's injuries had completely sealed, and the huge gash on his chest was only a thin white scar.
"Do you think you could've misjudged?" Saix asked calmly.
Zexion shook his head, "no, I couldn't have. Those wounds were monstrous; you should've seen them. Only Falcon was in the room after I left..." Roxas narrowed his eyes slightly, maybe the rest of the Organization were bumbling idiots, but Roxas had a strong inkling that Falcon had something, and probably everything to do with Axel's unnatural healing speed. Maybe my plan worked a little too well...I'm starting to feel a little left out...
Roxas cornered the two of them later that afternoon, determined to know what was really going on. Axel and Falcon were expecting him to approach sooner or later, but it was still creepy when he seemingly appeared out of the nowhere when they were walking down the stairs.
"Okay, what did you two do when I wasn't there?" Roxas challenged them, walking to them head held high. Axel and Falcon both blushed, but Roxas seemed unaware that what he just said sounded so wrong, "well, fess up."
"What do you mean?" Axel asked.
"You know perfectly well what I mean," Roxas replied, "normally wounds don't heal that fast and I know you," he indicated Falcon, "had something to do with it, what did you do?"
Falcon grinned ever so slightly and sighed, "all right, I'll tell you. I gave him some of my demon blood."
Roxas shook his head, "no seriously, what'd you do? No jokes."
Falcon gave him an incredulous look, "I'm not joking! That's really what I did!" Roxas quirked an eyebrow and crossed his arms, his blue eyes glittering with suspicion. He didn't really believe Falcon could transfer blood like that, but now that he thought about it, it wasn't all that impossible...
"Really, that's what she did," Axel added, "how else do you think my injury healed so fast?" Roxas finally gave in.
"Oh all right, if you say so, how did you do it?" he asked. Falcon looked at him like it was the weirdest question ever.
"I just bit my wrist and pressed it to his wound, what else?" she asked, "were you expecting some complicated blood transfer ritual or something?"
Roxas's eyes widened and his mouth gaped open, "you mean you mixed blood?" Falcon shrugged.
"I guess..." she muttered, "is that such a big deal?"
"Well that means..." Roxas murmured, "if you shared blood, that means the two of you are connected! That means you are almost telepathic!" Axel and Falcon both had the same puzzled look on their face, "you just don't get it, do you?"
"No," both Axel and Falcon shook their heads.
"Okay, if two people mix blood, legend has it that they're nearly telepathic and are spiritually connected for the rest of their lives!" Roxas exclaimed.
"Uh...and where did you learn this?" Falcon asked skeptically, "you sure this is true?"
"Umm...for the most part," Roxas admitted, "but if it is, that would be so awesome!" He looked at them excitedly, "don't you think?"
"Uh...yeah," Axel said hesitantly, "I think that's a little far-fetched. I mean, this was days ago, and I still haven't been getting any private messages from Fal yet."
"Fal?" Falcon asked, turning to Axel, "since when have you called me Fal?"
Axel shrugged innocently, " I don't know. It's shorter, more convenient." Falcon crossed her arms and gave him the and-you-think-I-care look.
"Whatever," she said, "just don't make a habit out of it."
"Oh don't worry, I will," Axel replied, and Falcon fumed silently, but decided to not let it bother her much.
"Anyway, the point is, I think you two are telepathic!" Roxas cried joyfully, "I'm right, you'll see eventually."
"Uh-huh," Falcon said, rolling her eyes, "whatever you say, I'm gonna go and get some training in or something, tell me if the Superior wants me for anything and I'll be sure to disobey." Roxas and Axel both grinned and chuckled as Falcon walked away.
"She sure is getting more talkative," Axel said.
"Yeah, and she's only been here for like a week," Roxas agreed. There was silence for a while as they walked upstairs in silence. Then Roxas spoke, "you know, I really was going to go down and help you fight, but the Superior wanted me to stay, he wanted to see how good Falcon really was." Axel didn't respond but looked up at the white marble ceiling. Thoughts clouded his mind, he really didn't know anymore, were Nobodies really emotionless? Or was it just all a fluke? Maybe it took something intense to really trigger emotion in a nobody, because he definetly felt something for the young girl who had simply walked in on his life.
