"Axel?"
"Yeah?"
"Why do you keep staring off into space?"
"Huh? Oh, I am?"
"Yeah."
"Oh." I seem to be doing that a lot lately.
"Hey Axel?"
"What?"
"Did you and Tori ever-"
"We're on talking terms if that's what you were about to ask." What was he going to say?
"What else would I ask…? Don't answer that."
Axel looked indignant. "Demyx she's a kid."
"Yeah, but sometimes I just don't know about you. Sharing a room and all…"
"Demyx do you have a death wish?"
"I can't think of one." He answered truthfully.
"Alright then. Watch where you're stepping and tread carefully."
"Huh?" Demyx was lost.
"Oh man, she's rubbing off on me." Axel blushed.
"So she forgave you?"
"I guess."
"You don't know?"
He shrugged. "She left me with a riddle. She said 'I'll leave it up to you.'"
"Hmmm…"
"What?"
"Nothing."
"Tori?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you and Axel-?"
"Are he and I what?"
"You know."
"I'm afraid I don't."
"Never mind then."
"Roxas what? Tell me."
"I heard this rumor…"
"So they think we're going out?"
"Apparently so."
"And who told you this again?"
"Roxas," Tori said, her hands on her hips. "Your friend."
"But why would he say something-?"
"He said it was a rumor."
"You seem skeptical."
Tori rolled eyes. "Of course I am Axel. I mean-."
"Just don't listen." he said simply.
He has an answer for everything. "Huh?"
"Don't listen to them. I know you have selective hearing. You always seem to tune me out."
"What was that?"
"Tori!"
"I'm just kidding! And you tell me to lighten up." Tori laughed.
Axel shook his head. She never ceases to amaze me.
Replacement: Sorry it's so short. Seemed like a good place to stop.
