Summary: His doubts about Vexen and Zexion's abilities faded away as he approached it. It looked as perfect as, "…Roxas?" Axel breathed. The look alike opened its ocean blue eyes, giving Axel a questioning stare.

A/N: Has anyone else noticed that FFN is glitchy at times and adds random things to the documents in 'document manager' at times? I've noticed random capital H's in my stories that I didn't put there (which's entirely too random)

/: just pointing that out, so don't get mad if I miss one now and then.

Also, thanks if you're sticking with this. I might just keep writing this till it's done, since I'm on a roll, with a different update now and then to change it up a bit :B

Trick or Treat?

Chapter 5

When Ven finally pushed Axel away again, he was breathing heavily. Axel watched the boy intently. The blond's face was flushed more deeply, his full lips were parted slightly and he was looking at Axel in an entirely new way. The red-head found himself vaguely wondering when he would be allowed to do it again.

"You… you're quite good at this," he whispered finally. Axel said nothing for a moment.

"Am I?" Ven nodded.

"Very…" he murmured dreamily before smiling. The blond's small hand found Axel's much larger one. The red-head didn't move, merely continuing to observe the boy instead.

"You aren't going to watch the meteor shower?" he asked.

"Why? I have something much more beautiful right in front of me." The red-head's eyes widened at the insinuation.

"But this is very rare…"

"And you aren't?" Axel glanced away and scratched the back of his head. Ven's smile widened and his eyes sparkled even more than they already were. "You're amazing Axel." Their eyes locked.

"Why?"

"Because you're talented and kind and while at times you seem unapproachable, you're simply secretly complex. There's so much more to you than there appears to be."

"I'm not that great." Ven's hand closed around his.

"Of course you are," he said insistently, "…you're wonderful." Ven looked down, playing with the red-head's hand in a nervous manner. "I don't feel like I deserve to even be around you," he said quietly.

"Why would you feel that way?"

"Because, compared to you, I'm nothing." Axel gripped the blond's hand.

"No, Ven, I am nothing. You're one with so much vigor, so much potential, with such a… passion for life. I'm worthless compared to you." Ven looked hurt.

"How can you say that about yourself?" Axel blinked.

"It's the truth. Would you rather I lied to you?" Ven shook his head.

"How could that be true? It's too terrible…"

"Because I am nothing. It isn't 'terrible' it's a fact." The blond shook his head, not wanting to hear such a thing.

"Don't say that… please," he whispered, almost beggingly. "You're worth so much more than you think, so please…" Axel nodded, seeing that he was upsetting the boy.

"Okay, I won't do it again. I promise."

"Thank you…"

Another month passed before Axel decided to surprise the blond again. This time, he took him to Wonderland. Ven gasped, looking around in wonder at the giant mushrooms and strange creatures.

"What world is this?"

"Wonderland." Ven laughed.

"What a fitting name." Axel smiled, something he'd been doing more and more lately. Before anything more could be said, however, the blond was taking off, exploring. Axel, who wasn't quick enough, soon lost him. In an attempt to locate the blond, he climbed the mushrooms and scanned the area but came up empty. Axel slumped down, sitting on the mushroom and deciding not to let it bother him. Instead he decided to relax.

Hours later, Ven made his way back to their original location and Axel woke from a dead sleep by the noise. The sound of soft laughter grounded him to the blond below him and he saw that Ven was playing with a dragonfly. Subtly, he made his way toward him and grasped his shoulders from behind. Ven stiffened momentarily but relaxed as Axel pulled him to himself. Blue eyes met the red-head's green. The blond smiled.

"Hello."

"Hello, yourself," the nobody replied, turning the boy around in his arms.

"Axel?" he questioned as the dragonfly flew away. Before he had the chance to do or say anything else, Axel lent down, his lips dangerously close to Ven's.

"May I?" he whispered, his warm breath ghosting across the smaller boy's lips. The blond nodded slowly and warm and equally soft lips engulfed his own. Ven grasped either side of the nobody's face, pulling him closer as he kissed the red-head back. Axel allowed him the opportunity, not resisting as the smaller boy kissed him. The red-head closed his eyes, shuddering as he felt a spark deep inside. He gasped as they continued, suddenly feeling as if it'd been set ablaze, and Ven pulled back looking concerned.

"What's wrong?" Axel smiled then kissed the blond's forehead.

"Absolutely nothing." He'd never felt alive before… and he liked it a lot.
