The prince and 4 Bachelors

Disclaimer: no ownership of KH, but now I do have ownership of Kingdom hearts one and two. Oh what fun!

A Friendship united

"Axel? Is that really you?" Roxas spoke calmly now, letting his guard down only a little. The cloaked red head nodded quietly turning away to gaze up at the moon lit night. The strife prince slowly walked over next to the taller figure. "no offense or anything, but this is kind of awkward." Axel glanced over at the blond and furrowed his eye brow.

"how so?"

"Well, after so long, you finally came back. Unfortunately I didn't even begin to notice it was you who was here." There was a long pause. Roxas looked down at the little kidney shape pond where the koi fish swam. The water reflecting the moons appearance from the sky. "wait, what are you doing here any--" Roxas looked up to find Axel was not standing beside him any longer. Instead he was walking back up the path to the entrance of the castle. "Axel! Wait!" the blond yelled running after him. His bare feet clapping against the cobble stones beneath him as he ran as fast as he could to catch up with the distant pyro. Finally when he thought he couldn't run any long he went to a halt. Roxas gulp down his breath from such a run.

Then a figure seemed to be over towering him. He looked up slowly, but sighed in relief to find Axel turned back for him.

"If I told you why I was really here now, things would be more awkward than it is." Axel looked down at Roxas holding out his hand to usher Roxas along. "come on, it's too late for us to be out here like this." the shorter boy nodded with a grin on his face and took Axels hand tenderly. At that moment, both boys felt a tingling sensation running up their arms.

"This almost feels like old times, down by the gazebo." Roxas thought to himself giggling soft enough so Axel couldn't hear. Soon the two headed back into Strife Castle to hit the sack for the night.

When they reached Roxas' room, they stood by the giant double doors for the longest time.

"So, I'll see you around then?" Axel said, rubbing he back of his head gingerly. Roxas nodded in response and getting ready to open his door to enter the bedroom.

"You wanna do something tomorrow Axel?" the young blond spoke quietly. The emerald eyed pyro nodded quietly as well. "Ok, I'll see you tomorrow then. Good night Axel." Finally, Roxas made a waving gesture to Axel and headed into his room for the night. As for the red head, he stood in silence for a moment, then turned and headed back to his bedroom for the night as well.

The very next day, the strife prince was rushing around to find some suitable clothes for the afternoons activities. He wondered every which way around his room tossing thousands of clothes into several fabricated piles. Note that he was still almost stark naked.

Just out side of the room, Axel was dressed and ready for his afternoon date with Roxas. Even though is appearance seemed confident, he was a nervous wreck. He didn't know the first thing to say when the blond prince would step out of his bedroom for the first time in that day.

Just when things seemed to be getting tense in the hall way, the kitsune, and neko maid came skipping around the corner sharing a box of chocolate pocky. Axel glanced at the two hybrid girls as they walked along. But as soon as they noticed the pyro guys red hair they stopped midway and turned to him. The fox girl was the first to speak up with a nee after each sentence like always.

"Good morning Axel nee! Waiting for the prince nee?" Axel nodded raising an eyebrow awkwardly. The cat like girl pounced over with a box of pocky that wasn't even opened yet and handed it to Axel.

"Give these to Prince Roxas, he loves these things nya!" The red head scanned the other red headed girl confused then spoke up asking,

"What are your names?" From the time he got to the castle to now, he never once had the chance to get acquainted with the maids on the castle. This was only because he was, truth be told, a friendly person on the inside.

The two maids looked at each other once then turned back to axel with huge smiles on their faces. The cat lady answered first with,

"I'M WONNYKINS Nya!" She did this with a hop on one foot and a cat like paw up to her cheek. Axel chuckled at the gesture and turned to the fox maid who did the same thing.

"I'm Jowey Nee!" The pyro smiled feeling more relaxed and less nervous.

"Nice to meet you two." He supposed that talking to someone for a while could be the trick to loosening up the bad case of the nerves. At this point he would do anything to shake them off. The two maids decided to stick around for a while to keep him company. For that day was their free day to relax as ordered by the king himself.

"What is taking Roxas so long nee?" Jowey asked curious. "is he taking forever trying to find an outfit again nee?" She twitched her tail awkwardly looking at the double doors. As for Wonnykins, she was grooming her ears sitting on the floor licking her paw then rubbing against her cat ear then back down doing the same motions with a repeated Nya. Axel stared at the door curious as well.

"Do you think it would be wise to knock to see if he's ok?" Axel wondered. Jowey looked at the door then the red head answering,

"yea nee! Just knock and if he say's come in, then go right ahead nee. Your being proper nee!" Axel decided that the fox girl was right and decided to walk forward and knock on the door. There was a long pause until there was a faint voice from the room saying,

"come in!" Axel took the opportunity to open the door slowly and poke his head in to examine the room. Just when he had his back turned the two maid looked at each other then back at Axels rear poking out of the doorway and decided to give him a 'confident push' into the room. They went up behind the guy with out him noticing and shoved him in causing him to land in a pile of clothes and closing the door behind him. The two maids snickered and giggled to themselves knowing they did something good for the two boys and would be getting muffin points for it later on in the day. The two finally skipped off singing a silly song from pirate hood, with arms linked like chains in a dungeon.

Thanks again for reading. I appreciate it and I'm very sorry that this is taking so long for me to write.

Once again, Thank you and if you can while writing a review, could you guys be dears and give me some ideas to put in this story? I will use any ideas you throw at me thank you!
