Roxas was sat on the couch upright, not lying down like he normally would be. He sighed and held the tissue over his nose tighter; he had had a nose bleed. He could feel like he was alone in the room, however there were banging sounds upstairs as if Sora and Axel were dropping various things or tripping over stuff. They were running around, and from what Roxas could tell, they had a hell of a lot of stuff to carry. Even if they did come down, Roxas wouldn't be able to see them. He was wearing a blindfold, something he agreed to half-heartedly just to get Axel off of him. It worked and as soon as Axel carried him ((because it seems Axel had forgotten the Roxas can walk by himself)) to the couch, he left him on his own and ran upstairs to join Sora, who was already there waiting for him. So that's how the blond-haired boy got here, his nose bleeding from the Face + Door = Wedding accident earlier. The two other boys had been upstairs for about ten minutes and Roxas was getting nervous..."Nwah! Sora, that doesn't go like that! Give me your finger, I'll do it." Roxas raised and eyebrow and imagined what was going on up there. He could easily imagine Axel getting mad at Sora for dropping something or doing something clumsy. I'm surprised he's alright with being in the same room as Sora, I know they don't like each other…not after what happened at the club. Axel has clearly (and thankfully) forgiven me, and although he may not like Sora, he might have forgotten. I don't want to bring back those memories even if he hasn't…With a few more thuds and banging sounds, Axel came flying down the stairs with the brunette closely following behind. Roxas winced as he heard the crashing sound. Axel had tripped over the same shoe Roxas had before on the last step and flopped over, Sora closely following. Roxas smirked and held his free hand over his mouth as he could just imagine those two piled in a heap on the floor. Too bad he couldn't see it. "Argh! From now on, no shoes in the house!" Axel stood sharply and brushed himself off. Luckily, the large box he was holding was not broken in the fall. The box was decorated in what looked like gift wrap used for three year olds. It was bright red with teddy bears and birthday cakes dotted all over it. Sora had two smaller ones in his tall redhead leaned over Roxas and quickly took off the blindfold he was wearing. Roxas blinked a few times then smiled. Axel and Sora were both carrying their presents, this time (thankfully) they were both dressed. Axel shoved his big box present into Roxas' arms and took a step back, camera in hand, the same one he used to take the one of Roxas and Sora sleeping on the couch together a little while back. "Open it quick or it's gonna burst!" Axel grinned and gestured at Roxas to open it. Roxas blinked and shook the box- it was heavy. Sora joined Axel in grinning as Roxas ripped away at the kiddy gift wrap to see a cardboard box. Although confused, Roxas raised and eyebrow and smiled up at Axel, who had taken another step forward."You gotta open the box, Roxas." Axel seemed to be mocking the boy. Roxas pouted. The tape holding the box together seemed to be struggling to do its job. "Oh no! Open it quickly!" Sora pretended to be scared and ran behind the sofa to use it as a guard as if the box would explode. Axel jumped up and ran back with a huge grin across his face. Roxas just sat there with his eyebrows raised, thinking how he got into this mess with these freaks. "She's gonna blow!" Axel screamed and jumped back, the grin still spread across his face. Like he stated, the box exploded, bits of cardboard flying everywhere. Roxas blinked and looked around. Clothes were EVERYWHERE. All over the floor there were tops, pants, socks, vests jackets. Axel smiled modestly and stood up. "Houston, we have a problem. Presents are everywhere." The redhead stood up and began to pick up the different items of clothing. Roxas blinked and helped."Y-you can't be serious…" Roxas stared at him as he held out most of the clothes for Roxas to take."Yep! All this is for you." "Axel, you must have spent like hundreds of munny on all of this! I can't take all this!""Nah, you have to! It's to small for me to wear, Haha." Axel and Sora started to laugh. Roxas smiled and blushed a little. He spent all that munny on me…just for my birthday…Sora was quick to stand up and hand Roxas his two presents, practically throwing them to his friends. Sora stood close by as Roxas opened them. Underneath that weird, strange shell…Axel is such a good person…thank you…It was late. Roxas was at the door of the house waving goodbye to Sora, Riku, Demyx, Zexion, Namine and Kairi, all of whom had come for a small party Axel had up his sleeve earlier that day. Roxas was just glad they didn't hide behind the couch and all shout, 'SURPRISE!' at him when he came down the stairs. He hated being scared in that way. Axel was upstairs waiting for the blonde, to give him something. A small box with something important in it. Roxas looked around at the messy house and sighed. He would put off cleaning it until the morning, right now it was late and he was tired. It had been a long day, but Roxas enjoyed every moment of it. When Roxas reached the top of the stairs he saw that the lights were dim and Axel was half-laid down on the bed with a small wooden box in his hand. This wasn't wrapped up in gift wrap, just a plain box. Roxas raised an eyebrow. Axel patted the space on the bed next to him for Roxas to come and sit. The blond approached Axel and laid next to him, his head on Axel's chest. The redhead was now calmly stroking Roxas' hair with a warm smile on his face. "Thank you so much for today, Axel…I really appreciate it. Today has been the best birthday I've ever had!" Roxas wrapped an arm around Axel's middle and squeezed tightly in an embrace. Axel chuckled and spoke calmly."It's not over yet. I still have something else to give you." Roxas looked up at him and blinked."The party and the clothes weren't enough? Axel, I bet you've broken the bank!" Axel pushed a finger to Roxas' lips. The blond blinked again and sat up, allowing Axel to do the same. "No, this is something I thought would suit you well. I want you to put it on and never take it off." Axel held the box in front of Roxas' chest and took the thick lid off slowly. In the box was a silver necklace. The chain was thick, with a shuriken star shaped piece attached to it. The star gleamed in the dim light as Roxas took it from the box. His big blue eyes rested on it for a while, letting Axel fall back down in his place. "A-Axel…I love it.""Thought you would." The hyper Axel had calmed now, leaving the sensitive redhead with Roxas. "No, but seriously…""Let me help you with that." Axel sat up once again and took it from Roxas, swiveling the boy round and putting it around his neck. The metal was cold and Roxas tensed a little when it touched his neck. But it would warm up soon. When Axel was done Roxas turned around and wrapped his arms around Axel's neck before he had a chance to lie back down. He squeezed tightly and nuzzled Axel's chest."Thank you so much…this is the best day of my life…and I got to spend it with you…it's because of you I feel like this…thank you, Axel.""Heh, Just one thing…" Roxas blinked and pulled away from Axel to look up at him. "Yeah?""Why don't you have that many clothes? They all seem a bit too big for you too…" Roxas tilted his head to one side and stopped smiling, then looked away from a few seconds he spoke."Um…Because they're my brother's…""You have a brother?""Yeah, his name is Cloud. He went to join some…organization or cult. I'm pretty sure it wasn't the army…""Organization?" Axel's eyes widened slightly as if that was something he didn't want to hear. "Tell me about him and the organization."There was a pause. "Um…I don't really know a lot about it. I just know they all wear long black coats and stuff. It's like a uniform, I guess. Cloud went away because he couldn't stand being around dad anymore. So he left and said he would come back for me…that was two years ago…"Axel frowned slightly and stood up, off of the bed. Roxas watched him and blinked."Axel?""I need some air…I'll be back in a second."Roxas paused but then nodded; had he said something wrong?Axel walked out of the room and down the stairs. When he reached the bottom, he went through to the kitchen and pulled out his cell phone. After typing in numbers, he held it to his ear."Demyx?""Axel? I just got back from your place…what is it? Is something wrong?""Yeah…""Well what is it? Is Roxas okay?""No Demyx, he isn't…The Organization is back…"
