A/N: So, because Axel is the element of fire, does that mean he has to burn everything he touches? Yes. Yes he does, but maybe he got better. Read to find out ^w^

My Best Friend

Ch: 8: Family Reunion

Roxas pov:

"We should get you something to eat." Axel said. He got up and offered his hand to help me up. I gladly took it. He quickly dragged me off of his bed and into his small kitchen. "Can you even cook?" I asked. He paused. "Well, yes, if you don't mind burnt food." Axel replied. I rolled my eyes. "I guess I'll cook then." I said, though I normally undercooked my food. Aren't we the perfect couple? We'll end up eating burnt or undercooked food all the time. To hell with that, we're going out to eat.

"No, I'll cook." he said. "Okay." I said. "What do you want?" he asked. I thought. One thing that Axel couldn't burn… "Cereal." I said. "Okay. Are you sure? I've been practicing cooking so I don't burn things as much." he said. "In that case, you can make what ever you want." I said.

I began looking around the kitchen for a clock. "Okay. No food. We need to get dressed and back to my house. We can get something to eat there." I said, heading towards Axel's room again to look for some cloths. It was already noon. My mother is going to begin wondering where I am.

I ran up stairs and looked around for some of my clothing. "Axel! Do you have any of my cloths here?" I yell to Axel who stayed down stairs, or so I thought. "Here ya go Roxy." he said, handing me a red shirt with a Christmas tree on it and a pair of light blue jeans. Before I could question why he had it he pushed me into the bath room so I could get ready.

It took me only a few seconds to change out of Axel's shirt and get into the new outfit. Then it took me about an hour to do my hair. You'd be surprised to find that Axel doesn't have any hair gel. Is that even possible? I'm glad I keep my own bottle here for when I do spend the night.

I took one final glance at my self in the mirror before exiting the bath room. As for what I saw, let say Axel takes a long time to get dressed. My eyes fell onto his bare chest. He looks so hot right now. He looks like he's strong too. Not to strong like if he'd hug a little girl he could break her, but strong enough to defend himself if necessary.

"Roxy?" Axel asked, waving his hand in front of my face. Whoa. I guess I lost my self to thought for a minute. I shook my head. "Yeah?' I ask, my eyes returning to his chest to see that he's done getting dressed. "Are you ready to go home? Your mom is probably worried about you." Axel said. "Oh. Right. Yeah. Let's go." I said. Axel grabbed my hand and began pulling me down to the car. Once we were there, he let go of my hand and opened the passenger side of my car. My car? Oh yeah. We drove it to Mar's party.

Axel drove quickly. I looked over at the speedometer. "Axel! Slow down! You're going ninety miles an hour!" I said. He glanced done at the speedometer, but didn't go any slower. "We're gonna get a ticket." I tried to reason. He continued to speed down the road till we finally got to my house. I slapped Axel in the back of the head as soon as we were parked. "Idiot." I mumbled as I got out of the car. "But I'm your idiot!" he said with a goofy grin. I had to laugh.

My mother ran into me as Axel and I walked into the room. "Hey mom. Mary Christmas." I said threw her tight grip. "Mary Christmas Tifa." Axel greeted. "Where's Sora?" My mom asked. "I don't know." I said, witch was very weird. Me not knowing where my twin was? That's very new. Just then Sora and Riku walked into the room. Sora let go of Riku's hand and jumped into our mom's arms. "Mary Christmas!" he said. "Hello Ms. Strife. Mary Christmas. I'm sorry for taking your son away from you and not telling you where he was. I didn't want him to stay in the house by himself and Axel agreed so we all slept at my house." Riku somewhat lied. He took Sora and I was with Axel, but our groups weren't together. And it wasn't an agreement, it was drunken teenagers.

"I'm just glad you're all okay." She said. I looked around the room. I saw a man with spiked blond hair that looked like mine in a way. He was sitting on the couch channel surfing. "Dad?" I question. He turned his head towards me. Sora wiggled out of mom's grip and jumped on dad's lap. I followed shortly after, grabbing our dad's neck. I know that Sora and I are teenage boys, but you'd act the same way if you haven't seen your dad scene you were five and your parents got a divorce.

I almost thought I heard our dad laugh, but "Cloud doesn't have emotions" as most people say. I guess he does because I'm here and we all know how kids are made. Though I never saw my father smile. Maybe some day that'll change. Did I ever mention that Sora and I have an older brother? I just got pushed off of dad and onto the floor by another blond. Hey Ven. Mary Christmas." I said, hugging the older boy above me.

Ventus looked like me, but acted completely like Sora. I don't understand how they can always be so cheerful all the time. I'd go insane. "Hello Mr. Strife." Axel greeted. That's right. He never met all of my family. I pushed Ven off of me and stood up. "Axel, Riku, this is Sora and my father Cloud and our older brother Ventus. Ven, dad, this is Riku and Axel." I greeted, pointing to every one as I said their names.

Dad just nodded his head in acknowledgement. Ven, however, ran up to Axel and Riku and grabbed their hands and shacked them violently. "Hello. It's very nice to meet you. Roxas and Sora told me a lot about the both of you." Ven blurted out, making me and Sora's faces turn a bright red. I could see Axel smirk. Oh god. Kill me now.

"Is that so? What do they saw about me?" Axel asked. Ventus looked up to the ceiling, dropping their hands. "Roxas told me that he thinks-" Ven began before Sora and I both ran up and put our hands over his mouth. Axel's smirk just grew. "Some one's keeping secrets." Axel mocked. I looked over to him. "Yes. And we plan to keep it that way." I said, shifting my glare to Ventus. Ven nodded in acknowledgement and Sora and I moved our hands. "you're hot." Ventus finished.

I knew for a fact that my face was the same color of Axel's hair, if not darker. Even Sora slapped him in the back of the head. "Oww." Ven said. Axel and Riku were laughing so hard it's a surprise that they didn't pee themselves. "What else did Roxas say?" Axel asked. "I'm not gonna say because I'm scared that they might kill me." Ven said. So he does have a brain. "But Sora said he loves your hair Riku." Ven said quickly before covering his head so Sora didn't hit him. That didn't work. Both Sora and I slapped Ven's shoulders at the same time.

I looked over to see how Riku would react to Ven's comment. Was he, blushing. Sora looked over to Riku, I'm betting to figure out why my eyes went wide and Riku's head sharply turned to the side. Now if we could embarrass Axel somehow. "Can we just forget every thing that Ven said?" Riku asked. "Fine by me." Sora and I said in unison, witch made Axel fall over laughing, causing Ven and Sora to look at him oddly. "He thinks it hilarious when people speak in unison." I explained. "Ohhh." Sora and Ven said, causing Axel to laugh even more. "I love this family." Axel exclaimed. I rolled my eyes.

Suddenly I smirked. I know how to embarrass Axel. "Okay Axel. You can stop laughing at my family, or I can embarrass you." I said. Axel lifted his head. "You can't. You don't know anything that I'm not open about." Axel said. "Is that a challenge?" I asked. "Go head and try." Axel said, as he crossed his arms and laid back on the floor. "Axel likes twins." I said. "Yeah. I love how they look the same and can tell what each other is feeling." Axel said. That didn't work. Let's try another. "Axel peed on some dude when he was five and-" Axel began talking before I finished. "And the guy yelled at me and I just gave him the finger. And I was only five!" Axel said as he began to laugh. I rolled my eyes.

What could I say that would turn Axel the same color of his hair? I was deep in though. Maybe I'll think of something later.

A/N: What would embarrass Axel? I have an idea. Thanks to all the people that read/ reviewed my story. You will now be hugged by Zexy~
