Replacing Him

When Axel woke up the next morning, he looked at his phone and was about to text Roxas when he remembered the events of last night.

"I almost texted him, out of habit… god I miss him already." Axel went into his contacts and deleted Roxas's number. Then he texted Namine.

Hey, Namine its me Axel. Want to go get some breakfast later? I know your mother is going to be coming today but I wanted to hand out with you ;)

-Fire starter

Namine got woken up by her phone going off; it was a text from Axel asking if she wanted to meet up later. The weird thing was Axel had put a flirty face on the end.

Hi Axel, I would love to meet up with you! How about your house at….. 9?

-Nami

Axel was excited when he found out Namine was coming.

"I used to get this feeling when Roxas would come over… why am I getting it with Namine? She does remind me of Roxas… I can't replace him but Namine is so much like him…" Axel began cleaning up his small apartment, and it was really messy. Axel decided that since Namine was the closets replacement for Roxas, and the fact that he couldn't even breathe without thinking about his dead blonde lover, he'd date Namine. Just so maybe he could love her like he did Roxas.

Axel finally finished cleaning… well if you count finished as just shoving everything under the couch and lighting a candle. There was a knock on the door which Axel assumed was Namine.

"hello nam- oh its you demyx."

"hello to you to Axel. Wheres Roxas? Or is he still in bed from his welcome home gift!"

Axel looked down at the ground, tears were welling up in his eyes.

"axe… was it something I said? Did Roxas stand you up or did you two break up?"

"Roxas is dead Demyx… he was shot last night." Said Axel still staring at the ground.

"Yeah right! He's probably just not able to walk!"

"No! Demyx I'm not kidding Roxy is dead, Namine called me last night and told me!"

Demyx stared at the ground. "jeez axel I'm so sorry."

"Axel?" Namine had found the door unlocked when she arrived she listened through the door.

"I love her Demyx… and I hardly know her!"

"is axel talking about me? No he cant be.. he loves Roxas not me."

"So Axel you should just date his sister and then youll get over Roxas and then bam! Your back in the game, free to date other people." Demyx's stare increased but Axel didn't notice.

"A-Alright I will.."

And after hearing that Namine went home, she refused to be used.
