Match Making
Chapter 10: Baby Blues
POV: Axel

I ran down the hallway towards Roxas's room, moving faster than I've ever moved in my life. Which was saying something, seeing as I'm almost always running for my life away from something. Not that I'm a coward like some people in the organization, (coughdemyxcough), but I know when to run and when not to run.

Though this time is different seeing as I'm not running /for/ my life but for....... actually I don't see why this requires running, because there's no way that that potions going to be reversed until next week, so whats the point of getting there faster. It's not like there's anything to save Princess from. I slowed down to a walk when I realized all of this. He wasn't in any type of danger so.... why---

My thought process (however crappy it may be, it still is a thought process, thank you you very much.) was interupted by a high-pitch scream followed by something crashing against the wall, in the room I was standing in front of, followed by yelling and something hitting the door. I looked at the number on the door..... Yep, just as I though Larxene's room. And if the high-pitch scream was anything to go by the potion had already taken affect.

The door opened quickly, and Marluxia was out even quicker, closing the door behind them and leaning up against it, panting heavily. A dull thud was heard behind the door, then four more. Sharp objects poking though three of them, nearly giving Marluxia a nasty stab. (Not that that would nesscarily be a bad thing). The yelling in the room ended and silence filled the hall. I leaned up against the wall behind me, folded my arms and stared at him. "Sooo..... How did it go?"

Marluxia looked up at me. "Suprisingly well" At my questioning look he elaborated. "Last time she got angry, she cut my hair and torched all of my venus-flytaps.... at least I think it was her..... but now that I think about it that sounds more like something you'd do."

"I-I didn't touch you flowers! Nope wasn't me Flower Petals!" (insert shifty-eyes)

'Flower Petals' glared at me. "Riiiiiiiiight. Anyway don't you have to go see your uke? Can I go? I'm curious to see how he'll react."

"NO!! I don't want you to have any perverted thoughts about my Princess!!"

"How is that perverted? ....... And....... Princess?"

"Because you'll just end up swooning because of his endless prettyness! New nickname."

"Oh darn!" Marluxia's voice dripping in vemonous sarcasim. "I guess I'd better stay away then! I sure as hell don't want to swoon over his 'prettyness.'" He walked off. "Nice nickname by the way! It really suits him!!"

'What the hell was that about?' I shrugged. 'Who care! I need to check on Princess!' I walked the rest of the way (three steps big challenge!) and slowly, softly knocked on the door.

"H-hewwo?" A tiny voice called out, it sounded a little frightened. It was cute though and the way that it said 'hello' made me want to go 'awwww!!'

"Hey Roxas? It's Axel! I'm coming in!"

"No wai-ahhh!!" I ignored him and opened the door. There was movement on the bed where a small lump was, covered up by the blanket. I smirked, Roxas wasn't doing a very good job at hiding; his little foot was sticking out. I crossed the room, stepping over thousands of piles of crap, (does he even know what's in these piles?) and sat down on the bed. When Roxas felt my weight on the bed he dove deeper into the blankets, away from me. I reached my hand out and pulled the blanket off of him small form.

He looked a whole lot different than he did twenty minutes ago. His hair wasn't as spikey and it drooped a little, his eyes were bigger, making him have an innocent look about him, his face had a round chibi shape to it. He shrank, so he was about the hight of his desk, which came up to my thigh. His eyes were red and puffy; like he had been crying. Screw what I said about Marluxia swooning, I think I'm about to!! He was even cuter than he was when he was bigger!! (is that possible?)

"Hey now, what's wrong?" I cooed. Wait.... COOED?? Since when do I /COO?/ Crap I'm going soft!!!! Nooooooooooooooooooooooo-

"I shwank!!!" Roxas wailed, launching himself at me and hugging onto me. He was crying again. 'Crap!! I'm not good with kids who cry!!' I awkwardly wrapped my arms around Roxas's small back "Hey it's okay! Your pretty big in my eyes!" 'I soooooo suck!! Majorly!!'

Roxas lifted his head up and glared at me, tears still runnning down his face. I have to admit it was pretty damn cute. Toddler Princess can't glare worth a crap!! "Yeahs wight! Yous just saying that 'cause you want to f-"

Imaginging what he was about to say I clamped my hand over his mouth. "I wasn't lying!! You are big!!" 'How the hell'd you learn THAT word?'

He stared/glared at me for a minute before whiping his eyes with the back of his hands, tiredly. "Weawwy?" (translation: 'Really?')

I nodded and he laid his head back on my chest, thankfully there was no crying this time. I don't know how long it was before he spoke.

"Hey Axie?" I repressed a shutter. It was the nickname Demyx gave me.

"Yeah?"

"Will you sleep wiff me?"

"I'm not so sure that that's a good idea, with you being-" Can you guess where my mind went?

"Not like that you!!! Sicky!! I ment stay with me and sweep!!" Roxas explained.

I rolled my eyes. "I don't know anything about sweeping, but I'll sleep."

A grin spead across his face. I'd never seen him grin before, I think I got momentarily blinded. "Yea!!" O...kaaaaaay......... He sounds.... hyper.... I hope this kid doesn't turn into Demyx. That'd be creepy!!!

Roxas crawled over to his pillow and laid down, closing his eyes. I laid down next to him, and pulled the blankets up towards us. "Are you sure about this? I might try to molest you while your asleep."

Roxas curled up into my side, not knowing what else to do I rolled onto my side as well and wrapped my arms around him. "If you do...... I'll just hit you.... with my weapon!" you could tell he was tired by the sound of his voice.

"Oh yeah, what is your weapon?" When Roxas didn't reapond I looked down at him. He was already asleep. Really what was his weapon? We'd have already known if we knew who his somebody was. I wonder if Xemnas knows who Roxas used to be? For some reason I doubted that, because there's a million people who Roxas could have been. Though there was only one who died around..... so maybe...... he's........... No! He's not! Xemnas would know and he would have told us!....... wouldn't he? I mean that would kind of be important information.....

Anyway, whoever Princess's Somebody is ........I just hope I'm not right, about who it might be
