By the time 6:23 came around on Saturday, Roxas was practically jumping out of his skin with excitement. Time seemed to trickle by, until it was 6:40. Roxas Sprang up and ran to the bathroom to give himself a onceover. He straitened his shirt a little, and messed with his hair. Satisfied with his appearance, he left the bathroom and descended the stairs that lead to the living room in time to hear a knock at the door. Hoping his parents hadn't it, he rushed to the door.
"Where do you think you're going, young man?" a voice female voice filled with humor said from behind him, "Trying to keep your new boyfriend from meeting us?"
"Maybe," Roxas is replied with an equal amount of humor while grabbed the handle on the door the open it. There stood Axel, wearing tight black pants and a forest green shirt, hands behind his back. A smile formed on his lips when he saw Roxas.
"You look beautiful," Axel whispered before bending down to kiss the blonde, not noticing the woman that stood behind him, before she cleared her throat. Snapping up, Axel looked behind Roxas to see a dark haired woman with a friendly smile looking at him.
"Mom, can you tell dad to come in here, I'd like get the embarrassment over with."
"Sure thing honey, oh and don't worry, we won't embarrass you too much," She walked into the kitchen, few moments later she came back with tall, blonde man behind her.
"Axel, this is my mother Aerith, and my father Cloud," the both stepped forward and shook one the redhead's hands, the other still behind his back.
"Roxas dear, would you come with me for a minute," Aerith said moving back toward the kitchen."
"Sure, mom," he took Axel's hand and gave it a squeeze before fallowing his mother. As soon as Roxas left, Cloud turned his gaze toward Axel.
"Please, Axel, Have a seat," he motioned with his hand for Axel to sit in the chair that was next to the couch, "What exactly are your intentions with my son," Cloud's voice was stern as he talked.
"Nothing really, just to have a good time."
"You can have fun with my son, but not too much fun."
"Yes, Sir."
"Now, from what I've heard from Roxas, he really likes you. If you hurt him, I will hunt you down and gut you like a fish." Axel was scared for a moment, but he sat up strait and looked Cloud in the eye.
"Sir I would never do anything to hurt Roxas, I….love him, nothing anyone says or does will change that." Cloud's look softened, as he heard these words from Axel.
"Axel."
"Yes, Sir?"
"Call me Cloud." Cloud smiled at Axel and extended his hand, which Axel took and gave a smile of his own. Just then Aerith and Roxas came back into the room. Aerith went to her husband and kissed him on the cheek.
"You did good, Mr. Strife, Roxas your curfew is 12:30, now have fun you two, but don't get in trouble. Roxas' parents hugged him and Aerith hugged Axel and whispered to him, "He loves you too," she smiled at them before closing the door.
"Was my dad mean?" Roxas asked a little worried about the grilling he was sure Axel was receiving while he was in the other room.
"No, he was pretty cool, oh and this," he moved his hand from behind his back and put it in front of Roxas, "Is for you," it was a dark red rose with the thorns taken off. Axel was quiet pleased with himself when Roxas gave him a toothy grin.
"Thank you, Axel it's beautiful." Axel led Roxas to the car he borrowed from his parents. The ride to the theater was silent, except for the radio playing a song that neither of them could identify. When they got there it took s little while for them to find a parking space, considering it was Saturday night and that's when all teenagers go out. "So, what do you want to see?" Roxas asked, slipping his hand into Axel's as they walked to the entrance of the cinema.
"I don't know, do you like scary movies?"
"Yeah, why don't we see Orphan?"
"Sure, sounds good to me," Axel bought the tickets and asked Roxas to find some seats while he got food. He ordered a medium popcorn and a large Mountain Dew. Walking into the room the movie was playing in; he quickly located Roxas due to the fact that his hair was sticking up above the seat. He walked over to the blonde carefully, as not to spill what he was holding, and sat down in the empty seat next to him.
"Just in time, the previews are about to start," just after Roxas said these words it the room went completely dark except for the light that came off the screen. Sometime during the movie, Axel had put his arm round Roxas, while Roxas snuggled into Axel's chest. The movie ended a little while later, and they were both satisfied with the ending.
"Are you hungry, Roxas?" Axel asked as he opened the passenger door on the car so Roxas could get in.
"Just a little," his stomach growled, "Or maybe a lot." Roxas said with a blush. Axel chuckled softly. They wound up at a small pizza place about three blocks away, they ate spaghetti, and held hands on top of the table.

They were standing in front of Roxas's front door; it was about time for him to go inside. "I had a really fun time tonight Axel," Roxas stood on his tip-toes and kissed Axel. "I'll call you tomorrow, ok?"
"I'll be waiting."
"Be safe driving home, love you," Axel drove home in silence, once he was out of the car and in his home, careful not to wake his parents, he took a long hot shower and went to bed, with thoughts of Roxas filling his head.
