Riku was beginning to wonder when Axel and Roxas were ever going to get together. It was their fault they were in here in the first place.
They skirted around the issue.
At first, Axel had dropped a few hints.
"Remember that mission in Wonderland...?"
"You think things could work out between us...?"
"C'mon Rox, you're my best friend. Of course I care..."
Roxas knew perfectly well what the red head was doing, and if he didn't, Riku would be very surprised. He didn't know much about the two Nobody's past life, but something had to have happened for them to promise to meet again. Something important. Even Sora didn't understand why his brother was not so subtly avoiding answering Axel's questions.
Roxas and Axel were perfectly aware of what was going on. Where past conversations were relaxed and easy, current conversations were tense and it was hard to find the right words. Both of them were suffering from it. Axel got this look in his eye when he spotted the blonde; a look that Riku later pointed out to Sora as desperate. Axel was desperate. And Roxas...Roxas was just confused.
After a point, Axel returned to his normal self. No more desperate looks in Roxas' direction. No more subtle hints. Roxas seemed to relax, though sometimes Sora would catch him muttering to himself.
Things went back to normal.
Untill Roxas finally couldn't take it anymore. He'd whirled to face the Senior at lunch with a snarl. Luckily they sitting outside , otherwise they would have made a scene.
"I swear, Axel, if you want to ask me out - just ask me, dammit!"
Axel, for his part, only smiled and slipped an arm around the shorter male. Riku slapped his forehead. Sora laughed.
Axel dragged Roxas off to the boy's bathroom.
