Axel's POV

I had decided that to save my sanity, I would explore Roxas' immense collection of cd's and movies

I had decided that to save my sanity, I would explore Roxas' immense collection of cd's and movies.

Not surprisingly, almost none of them were in English. Oh sure the titles and summaries were, but they were almost all Japanese. Not one Korean one actually…hm…

And hello…what's this? I pulled out one that's case looked slightly more used than the others. There were two actually.

One was Matilda. I practically laughed at that. I loved the story myself when I was younger. I mean who couldn't love a story about a girl who outwits a demon of a headmistress using powers of the mind?

The other was one called Tuck Everlasting. I hadn't heard of it so I read the back.

It was a…freaking love story. I looked over a few of the other Japanese ones again. Quiet a few were love stories. It looked like there were two main groups of movies he owned actually. Either love stories (yuck) or stories that resembled a dark version of Matilda. And most of them didn't look like they had happy endings…

Okay then…onto the cds.

There were all five of the SH cds, including the one supposed to come out next month. How did he get that?! It was supposed to go worldwide in three weeks…wait…Stolen Innocence was on that cd…and he said that it was a popular song where he was from. That was a lie. That song had never been aired, and wouldn't be until the cd came out.

So unless he's as good a hacker as Zexion (unlikely)…how the…? How'd he get the cd is what I'm wondering…

I looked briefly through the rest. A few more Asian bands, and quiet a few American ones. To name a few, Linkin Park, Anberlin…I'm gonna stop there. We'll just say his music taste fell under the emo classification.

Okay. Let's try some safe TV shall we?

I looked at the clock…and nearly fell on my ass again. It was six. In the evening. Roxas had left at around eleven. I had been exploring Roxas' house for seven hours. Which meant Roxas should be home soon…

I flicked on the TV and managed to put it on a movie just as I heard the door open. The movie ended up being Resident Evil. The first one I think. Oh well, zombies work.

Roxas was literally soaking wet. His hair was dripping, as were his clothes. He had a towel in his hands but, he seemed more content to hold the thing instead of use it.

I figured out why a second later. He handed it to me, mumbling something about him needing to change.

Puppies. Two of them. And believe it or not, I knew what they were. Partially because one of their cousins had tried to tear my hair from my head. And they happened to be one of Demyx's favorites…why? I really don't know.

And it's really hard to mistake a rottweiler for anything else. Is Roxas attracted to vicious breeds or are they attracted to him? Sure these two were small and cute now…but just wait a year or two…

Roxas came back out wearing the signature black turtleneck and a pair of black lounge pants (three guesses what his favorite color was…and the first two don't count). His hair looked a little mussed up, probably from toweling dry, but otherwise, it was as straight as ever.

The puppies had been sleeping, but as he took them back (with no argument from me) they began to squeak and whine.

Roxas seemed to totally forget I was there. He literally turned into a mother hen, making calming noises and practically rocking them as he walked around.

And surprisingly, they did calm down. He sat down and gently unwrapped them from the towel.

One rolled out and landed with his face on the ground, his tail up in the air. It was really cute. The other one practically strode from the towel, full of puppy pride. Complete opposites these two.

Oh and another piece of evidence that Roxas had forgotten I was there? He let Hoshii out.

I went still, hoping that she would ignore me. No such luck.

The dog came over to me slowly, head lowered. Was she actually…

I put my hand out, palm up. She stopped for a second before coming forward again. I could just barely brush her nose with my fingertips. She sniffed my hand, before her head shot up. I tried to ignore the warning bells in my head.

She instantly became more relaxed, and even pushed her head into my hand. I obliged and scratched her head.

Well. That was unexpected.

Roxas wasn't reacting, but I swear his lips weren't as tight. Was that a shadow of a smile?! Maybe, maybe not…I'll take what I could get though.

That's when Hoshii noticed the two little fuzz balls on the ground. She didn't growl. She didn't bark. She just looked at them with curiosity.

Then Roxas chose to speak. Making everyone but the puppies jump.

"Now for names…hm…" He picked up the black one (the other one was brown). This was the one that had strode out from the towel like he owned the world.

"How about Taiyou…that should fit…" He was talking to himself.

"What does it mean?" Now it was Roxas' turn to jump. Yes I'm still here. He thought for a second, as though considering not to answer.

"It means sun in Japanese." Ah. That fits.

"What does Hoshii mean?" I hadn't thought about it, but now that I did, I realized Hoshii wasn't English. Yes I'm a bit slow on small details…

"Hoshii means wanted in Japanese." Hm…why would he name her that? Oh well, thoughts for another time maybe…I was getting more and more of those lately.

The newly named Taiyou licked Roxas' nose. This time, there was no shadow. He smiled (me probably being forgotten again).

It was…beautiful. His smile was one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen. Yes that was completely sappy, but…you'd have to see him. It transformed his face so intensely…His face didn't look harsh anymore. Roxas looked like a little kid almost.

If he changed so totally from such a small smile, what would happen if he really smiled? The thought was there before I could really think about it. As in, poof, it's there.

He put down Taiyou and picked up the other one.

"Let's see…you shall be…Tsuki. It means moon." Roxas is a mind reader. I had been about to ask what it meant.

So, Sun and Moon for the little ones. They were complete opposites. It fit.

Both of the puppies gave huge yawns. Again with the cuteness. Now it was Hoshii's turn to get involved.

She bit the scruff of Taiyou's neck and carried him off down the hall. She came back a second late and did the same to Tsuki.

"So you like dogs, but not people?" He was still looking down the hall (the smile long gone…I don't think he realized he had smiled at all).

"Dogs won't hurt you on purpose." Okay. I'm not going to question that. He didn't look like he would answer it anyway.

"Okay, so why did you have to go to the next city to pick those two up."

"I met a woman who was shutting down her pet store a few days ago. She only had those two left, and no one was going to buy them. Something about most people not liking the breed." I wonder why.

"I told her I'd be back in a few days to pick them up." Okay then. So you faced the wrath of god to pick up a pair of fuzz balls? Interesting.

"Oh and the storm has gone back down to normal proportions. It's supposed to die down completely by tomorrow morning. You might want to call your brother." Well…I did as I was told, hoping that his ringtone sounded right in the middle of a very important conversation.

Reno's ringtone was Barbie Girl. And believe it or not, he didn't put it on there. I did. Long story short, he had made me mad, and that was my payback.

And Reno is completely useless with phones, so he couldn't figure out how to get rid of it.

Of course, he tries to hurt me every time his phone rings, but it's worth it to see other people's expressions.

He answered after the second ring.

"Yo?"

"Reno. Are you coming home tonight?"

"Hello to you too Axel…and yeah I'll be home tonight. I'll be there around eleven alright? Where have you been staying anyway? I got about twenty thousand calls from Demyx alone asking where you were."

"I'm at Roxas' house since I forgot my keys. He let me stay over last night." I could practically hear Reno grinning.

"Reno…you make one perverted comment and I swear to you, your hair will be purple before the week is out." Reno's one love (besides ) was his hair. He was as vain as hell about it. And he hated the color purple with a passion. I heard a "meep" on the other end.

"Fine. Roxas won't mind you staying over for a few more hours will he? Great. Bai-bai!" Reno was too gay for his own good…

"Yo Roxas? Reno said…"

"He'd be home around eleven. I heard." Heh. He did say Reno was loud. I guess I was just used to it.

"Hoshii didn't bother you did she?" Nice try Roxy…oh whoa…I did not just call him that…I shook my head (inside my head). Anyway. Even a dolt like me could see that he was asking if I had gone in that room. Then again…I might not have caught it if I hadn't been in there…

"No. She was quiet." He must have been sighing in his head.

"Good. I'll be in my room if you need me." He was damn fast for a freakin midget. I thought vaguely back to the thing at the football bleachers where he had disappeared just as quickly.

"Roxas?" I heard a 'hm?' from the hall.

"You don't mind if I watch one of your movies do you?"

"I told you to make yourself at home." Well okay then.

I let Resident Evil play out before choosing Matilda and putting it in.


A knock at the door woke me up. Huh? Oh. Apparently I had fallen asleep while watching Matilda. Which meant…it was now eleven.

It was probably Reno at the door. Meaning I had no issues making him wait another minute or two while I went to say thank you to Roxas.

I silently opened his door, incase he was asleep.

And he was.

If it was possible for someone to melt I think I just did. Come on, this was too cute.

Roxas was asleep on his side on top of his covers with either Taiyou or Tsuki (too dark to tell) tucked below his chin and the other one right against his stomach. Hoshii had her head resting on his side.

But Roxas…is it against the law to be that cute? He looked so…innocent, I guess is the best way to put it. His face practically glowed. And it looked so out of place in the gloom of the room. So different from the unforgiving face he had when he was awake.

I resisted the urge to go over to him. He would probably kill me if I did. So instead I did the next best thing.

click thank the lord for camera phones. Of course, if Roxas ever saw this, I get the feeling that I would regret ever having been born, but you know what? It was worth it. It's not often you see angels.
