"Oh come on! It's not that scary!"
"You and I have very different views on what's scary, babe. A giant half-naked man with a pyramid for a head AND a giant ass knife? Scary!"
"But you barely see him!"
"Axel, why the hell do you want me to play Silent Hill so bad?"
Roxas turned to look at his boyfriend, who was hanging off the side of their recliner, making his red hair stand up even more.
"Because it's amazing?!"
"Is it amazing because you're a psychology student and you practically live for "mind fucks"?"
Axel clicked his tongue in thought, finally shaking his head.
"That might be a part of why I like it, but not the full reason. But you'll like it for a different reason."
"How do you know I'll like it?"
"Because you enjoy being scared."
"I do not!"
"So that's why you don't look up ghost stories super late at night, yeah?"

Roxas felt the blush creep onto his face, feeling as if his boyfriend had discovered his hidden porn stash instead of his secret love of terrifying himself. Axel laughed and shook his head, pointing that their coffee table. The table had Silent Hill one through three, and all the other's that came after.
"What's your favourite one?"
"No! Nu-uh! You have to play them in order."
Turning right side up, Axel got off the chair and went over to his boyfriend, who had picked up Silent Hill one and was now looking at the back with a very suspicious.
"Playstation ONE?! The graphics are going to be so shit!"
"It'll add to the atmosphere. Don't be a graphics snob, love."
With that, Axel leaned down and kissed Roxas on the cheek, picking his bag up in the process.

"Good thing you have all March break to play these, eh? Don't worry, after today I won't have to go back to the library for the entire break."
"Why did you have to go today again?"
"Forgot my book."
"Smooth."
"Love you."
"Love you too, Red."

Roxas shook his head and turned on the play station one, which was already hooked up and ready to go. Placing the disc inside and grabbing the controller, Roxas leaned back and watched the starting scene and smiled.
"This isn't so bad."

"Honey, I'm home!"
Axel entered their apartment and paused to listen for any sounds of Silent Hill or his boyfriend. Not hearing anything, he toed his shoes off and walked into the living room, dropping his bag on the way. Axel smirked as he noticed the television was on the Silent Hill two inventory screen.
"Knew he'd play them all."

Axel turned and walked towards the kitchen, knowing Roxas had probably went to the store to pick up a snack or a sea salt ice-cream.
"BOO!"
Axel screamed as Roxas leapt out from the kitchen at him. Gripping where his heart would be, Axel stared bewildered at his boyfriend.
"Dammit, Rox! You nearly gave me a heart attack!"
Roxas laughed and wrapped his arms around Axel's waist, pleased with himself.
"You're cute when you're scared."
Snickering again, he watched as Axel muttered under his breath and went into the kitchen.

"I like Silent Hill."
"Like?"
"Love."
"Aha! Told you. Oh! Does this mean I have someone to talk to about it and and complain and ..."
"The word you're looking for is fangirl, and is that one of the reasons you wanted me to play?"
Axel batted his eyelashes over his glass of water.
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Uh-huh, sure. In any event; yes. You have someone to fangirl with. But you could have done it without me knowing anything about the game."
Roxas smiled and left the kitchen, seeing Axel dance in the mirror, but deciding not to comment on it.

Sitting back on the couch, Roxas picked up the controller again and unpaused, shivering at the red glow around a certain pyramid-headed creature.
"Can he get me ...?"
"BlahAhh?!"
Roxas screamed and jumped, tightening his grip on the controller and making James punch the air.
"Axel! Dammit!"
It was Axel's turn to laugh. Laughing and sitting beside Roxas, he sipped his water and offered his bag of potato chips to Roxas.
"Truce?"
"Truce."
Roxas smiled as Axel picked up a chip and fed it to him, not wanting to get grease on the controller.

"So, you playing?"
"Yeah, you watching?"
"Mhm ... Oh! Wait a sec."
Standing up, Axel walked over to the lights and flicked them off.
"What are you doing?"
"Creating the mood, obviously."
Making his way back to the couch without bashing his knee against anything was a great success, and sitting beside Roxas was great too.
"Okay, ready?"
"Of course."

Axel put his arm around Roxas' shoulders and smiled, glad to have made someone else a fan of the series and being able to see the reactions it caused. He loved sitting here and playing, or watching Roxas play video games. The faces and sounds he made were the cutest things Axel had ever heard.
"Pay a little more attention to the game and a little less attention to me, babe."
Roxas smiled and turned his focus back onto the game, making James go into another room.
