Chapter 6: The night after

I woke before Axel did this morning and I decided to fix him some breakfast before he woke up, as a surprise. I walk downstairs to begin cooking for my little pyro. As I walk into the door to the kitchen I open the fridge and get some ingredients to make his favorite breakfast dish. I place the ingredients on the counter and begin taking what I needed for his food. I grab some eggs, bread, shredded cheese, and some salt and pepper. I crack the eggs into a bowl after I put the toast in the toaster and begin stirring the eggs so I could cook them. The smell of the toast filled the room and I hoped that Axel didn't get awoken to the scent of toast being made.

I grab a pan from the cabinets then set it on an eye on the stove and put an apron on. I don't know why but Axel always says I look really cute when I where an apron when I cook but I highly doubt that I do. I put the eggs into the pan and listen to the soothing sizzle of the eggs as they begin cooking. I get the toast out of the toaster after it popped out an put them on a small plate so they could cool down some before Axel ate it. The eggs didn't take too long to cook either and I put them on a separate plate and put the two plates onto a tray I found after turning off the stove eye.

I walk up the stairs to Axel's room silently so I wouldn't wake him up. I slowly open the door with the hand that was open at the time. I walk over to his side of the bed and place the food on his nightstand. The scent of fresh baked eggs and toast filled the room and Axel is woken abruptly from his slumber. He looks me over seeing that I made him food and smiles at me "You didn't have to do this, Roxy"

"I didn't have to but I wanted to." I sit next to him and he puts his arm over my shoulders and pulls me close so he could kiss my forehead. I smile and hold his hand as he began kissing my forehead with his soft lips.

"So, Roxy, what are we going to do after we eat this delicious meal" he asks grabbing his tray to begin eating the food on it.

"Whatever you want to do Axel, so long as i'm with you" I hug his arm as he chuckles.

"I love you Roxas." I blush at what he said and look up at him.

"B-but we just started dating. How could you possibly love me after a single date?" I start to nervously look around.

"Well first, you're cute. You're also kind to me and you can make a fantastic breakfast for me when I wake up too." He smiles down at me and I blush at the thought of him having said those things so calmly and without skipping the beat of a word.

He coms closer to me and kisses my head. "Don't worry Roxy, I won't let nothing hurt a single hair on your body" he says holding me close to him.

I blush and look up at him, "Axel, I love you too" I say into his chest timidly.

"Good, because I don't think I'm gonna go anywhere anytime soon." He wraps his arms around my body even more giving me an even tighter hug.

After we got done hugging, Axel got out some plates out for us and put them on the table while I finished up fixing breakfast. We sit at the table and I look into his eyes taking in every feature about them. How they gleam in the light, the bright amber color of them, they were just perfect. Everything about him is perfect.

"Hey Roxas, are you gonna eat?" He says taking me away from my thoughts.

"Oh uh yeah" I say embarrassed that he caught me looking at the features of his face.

We get done eating after a while and he decided to take me to the local park.

When we got there and got out of his car, I noticed that there were very little people there. He goes over to me and grabs my hand and we start walking on the sidewalk to nowhere in particular. My small hand fell in comparison with his big one that was holding mine. I look up at him to notice how the sunlight reflected off of his face at a perfect angle and he looked like an angel.

He looks u at the sky, "It looks like it's about to rain soon Roxas."

I look up too, "Yeah, I hope it doesn't ruin our perfect day."

"I hope it won't either" he puts his arm over my shoulder and brings me closer to him and I smile.

It didn't take long for the rain o start pouring on us and we had to hurry to the nearest shop to take cover in. I sigh and look around to notice that we ended up in a coffee shop.

I look up at Axel, "So what now" I ask him feeling kind of sad that we got rained into a shop.

"Well I guess we could order some coffee and talk" he says with optimism about the situation we were in the middle in.

"OK, but you're buying it."

"I was planning on it." He goes up to the register to be greeted by a small, slender boy with velvet hair that covered one of his eyes.

"Hello" he says happy to see some people, "what can I get you two young gentlemen today?"

Axel looks at me and then the cashier, "He'll have an iced mocha and I'll have some green tea with lemon on the side."

"OK, that'll be $3.90." He looks over at me and I could tell he was checking me out. I blush and move over to Axel after he paid the bill and I hold his hand. He takes Axel's money and puts it into the register after opening it and goes to the back room to fix our drinks.

We sit down at a table in the corner and start talking about what we were doing in school. It didn't take too long for the cashier to come to us with our drinks and he sits down at our table.

"Hey guys, so my friend and I are going to this great club next week and it's be great if I saw you guys there, and my friend actually plays there next week too and he'd be delighted to see a couple like you two there enjoying the music."

"That sounds cool, where is this club at and I'll think about coming" Axel says smiling at me and I blush.

"It's right down the road, it only opens at night. Can I get your names so I can get you on the V.I.P list?"

"I'm Axel and this is Roxas" he points over to me when he says my name and I smile weakly at him.

"Great, I'll see you guys there next week. It opens at 7:00 PM so don't get there too late OK." He gets up from his seat and looks at us both.

"OK" Axel says "we'll meet you there next week. Oh and before I forget would you mind if I asked what your name is?"

"Not at all, my name is Zexion" He leaves us and goes into the back of the restaurant.

Axel looks out the window we were sitting next to and notices that the rain had died down, "Well I guess we better get you home now Roxas."

"OK" I get up, finishing my drink "I hope I get to see you during school some more."

"You will, let's get you home before Sora gets mad at us." He gets up and we start to walk to his car after throwing away our empty cups.

As we pulled into my driveway, I looked over at him to notice how his hair still hadn't dried off completely and it looked so beautiful.

He walks me to my front door and as I open the door to enter my house, he grabs my from behind and spins me around to kiss me passionately. We stood there for a minute before I had to step away from him to catch my breath.

He lets go of me and smiles, "I guess I'll see you around than."

"Y-Yea I guess you will." I knew I looked stupid right then because I could feel the heat rushing to my cheeks and I was stuttering.

He walks off to his car and drives off as I run into my room and jump onto my bed and scream into my pillow from happiness and excitement. It took me a while to get over the fact that Axel kissed me out of nowhere but I could still taste his breath on my lips.

It took a while before I could go to sleep but I eventually did and ended up having a dream about how life would be if Axel and I ended up living together for the rest of our lives and it was the best feeling in the world knowing that I finally had someone to care about me other than Sora and my family.
