AkuRoku Request for ILovKingdomHearts on deviantART

Axel was sitting with Roxas on top of the clock tower and the small blonde was rambling about something.

He wasn't really paying much attention; he was too busy staring at the little angel.

"Do you think she'd be able to sit up here with us?" Roxas asked suddenly as he turned to stare at Axel.

Axel jumped in surprise and almost slipped off the edge but Rojas grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back in time.

"Umm…sure. The three of us could hang out up here," he said, thinking quickly.

When he saw Roxas smile happily, he knew that he had said the right thing.

"Thanks Axel!" he yelled. "I'll go tell her!"

Roxas jumped up and ran for the exit.

Axel watched him go.

'Why do you look at her like that? We don't have hearts, but you make me feel like I do. You must feel the same way because you act like you have one so convincingly. Does she make you feel the same way that I feel about you? She's not even real.'

"Axel said you could sit with us on top of the clock tower! Isn't that great?" Roxas shouted happily at Xion.

Xion tried to smile but couldn't.

"Roxas, you know he just said yes to make you happy, right?"

Roxas looked confused.

"No he didn't. He likes you and wants you to sit with us. That's all."

Xion sighed.

"Roxas, you're a really smart guy, but here you're stupid. Axel said that I could sit with you two because he wants you to be happy. He wants you to be happy because when you're happy, he's happy. And the reason he's happy when you are is because he likes you. Making you smile is his first priority and looking out for you is his second. You've never been able to notice how much attention he pays you and he remembers the smallest detail you say or do. He loves you and you've never realized."

Roxas stared at her.

"What? Axel doesn't love me! He can't love for one thing! And another, I don't love him back! I like you!"

Xion was about to sigh when she saw a familiar face at the end of the hall.

A genuine look of surprise replaced the one of exasperation she was going to show.

"Yeah!" Roxas yelled. "You think you're so smart, but YOU never realized how much I like you! Why would I EVER choose Axel over you? He's weird and creepy and practically stalks me! You're so much more amazing than him!"

Xion's mouth dropped open.

"I mean, come on! Look at you compared to him! You're beautiful and smart and fun and so many other things I can't name. Axel is low, repetitive, shallow, vain, self-serving, ANNOYING, and above all else, rude."

Xion's eyes had widened as Roxas continued ranting. She was doomed. Axel was going to kill her for what Roxas had said.

From the corner of her eye, she saw the person disappear.

"Roxas," she started slowly. "I know that you have feelings more than the rest of us, but I don't see you that way. I'm sorry, but I don't have even a tiny piece of a heart. You two have much more than I do. Why don't you just give him a chance?"

Xion was startled by the full on death glare she received from Roxas.

"Do not throw me at that man. He isn't worth my time. I like to talk with him on top of the clock tower and have ice cream with him, but I do NOT want to date him."

With that, Roxas turned on his heel and stormed back to his room.

"Stupid Xion," he muttered under his breath, "telling me to date Axel when I couldn't have less to do with him that way! The man's a monster and I don't want to waste my time with his selfish desires."

He walked into a solid object and looked up; glare planted firmly on his face.

His face paled.

Axel was standing outside his door with his arms crossed and a foul expression, staring down at him.

He gulped.

"I'm a monster?" he asked coolly. "That's nice to hear. Care to write that on a greeting card and send it to me? Better yet, make it your Christmas card and send it to everyone and put a nice picture of you flipping me off on the inside."

Roxas stared at him.

"Wh-what do you mean?" he stuttered. 'Axel didn't hear my conversation with Xion so how does he know this? Unless,' he froze. 'Xion's face changed when we were talking. Maybe she saw Axel or someone.'

"I have ears Roxas," Axel said harshly. "I can hear people shout things about me. I didn't know that you thought I was low, repetitive, shallow, vain, self-serving, ANNOYING, and above all else, rude. I didn't know that you didn't consider me worth your time. It was a nice wake up call to hear from my room."

He shot Roxas a final look and walked down the hall to his own room.

Roxas stared at him as he left.

For some reason he felt weird.

It was as if a part of him was upset that the fiery man now wanted nothing to do with him.

'By tomorrow afternoon, he'll be over it,' he said to himself before walking through his door and going to sleep.

"Sorry," Roxas called as he ran to the top of the clock tower. "I hate having to go to that castle! That little clock always catches me and throws me out! It takes me forever to complete missions there!"

He rounded the corner, expecting to see Axel holding two ice creams, but found no one.

"That's weird," he said to himself, "I guess he had a long mission too."

He sat down to wait for Axel.

By the time the sun had set and it was starting to get dark, Axel still hadn't shown up.

"Where is he?"

The events of the day before popped into his head.

"Oh crap…he's still mad about what I said."

He quickly got up and returned to the castle.

As he ran through the halls, he thought about what to say.

He found Axel relaxing on his bed.

Axel didn't even look at him as he opened the door.

"What do you want?" he asked the wall.

Roxas darted to the man's side.

"Axel! Axel!" he yelled breathlessly. "I have something to tell you!"

The door opened and a woman walked through.

"Are you Axel?" she asked the man.

He nodded.

The woman sighed.

"If this kid's gonna watch, it's gonna be extra."

"He won't be," Axel said firmly. "He's leaving."

"Who is this?" Roxas demanded.

"Candy," the woman said simply. "Now get out before I charge your daddy extra."

"He's not my kid," Axel muttered. "Get out Roxas."

Roxas couldn't move.

He watched as the woman walked towards Axel slowly.

She kissed him.

"NOOOO!"

The woman jumped and Axel stared at him.

"Kid, get out of here!" she yelled. "I can't do my job with you yelling like that!"

"Leave him alone!" Axel shot at her.

Roxas ran to Axel's side again.

"Don't do it Axel! I realized something! I was trying to tell you that I love you before she came in! I'm sorry I said all those things! I thought I meant them, but I didn't! You're amazing and I was so wrong to say all those things! Please forgive me?"

Roxas's bright blue eyes shone with tears.

Axel pulled him down on top of him and hugged him.

"Of course I will," he whispered in the boy's ear. "I love you and I'm glad you love me too."

"Excuse me, I still need to be paid. Even if nothing happens, we get paid."

Axel was staring at Roxas.

"I don't care. Leave before I burn you to a crisp."

The woman scowled and walked out the room.

"I really do love you Axel."

"And I really do love you Roxas."
