I want to thank you for the lovely reviews they make me really happy ^^ love you guys and here's the new chapter

Axel's pov

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. I turned it off and stared up at the ceiling dreading today. Why the hell did I have to be so stupid? I groaned and buried my head in my pillows thinking about yesterday. Why the hell did I kiss him?! He'll never forgive me now. I am beyond miserable, I'm devastated. Why did I run?

I had begun apologizing but I couldn't keep looking at him so I decided to run. I didn't even get past the table before Roxas grabbed my arm. I turned around and stared into his beautiful blue eyes. Before I realised what I was doing I had his lips against my own. The touch was electrifying and I moved closer tilting his head back to deepen the kiss. Then I remembered that I was supposed to apologize, not attack him and I released him. I looked at Roxas and saw him frowning and I knew I had screwed up.

"I, I'm so sorry…" I ran before he could totally reject me.

I threw myself at my bed, breathless from the running, and for the first time in years I wanted to cry. Reno poked his head in grinning mischievously.

"So loverboy, how'd it go?"

"I screwed up." Reno frowned.

"What did ya do, yo?"

"I kissed him and ran." I admitted.

"…Why did you run, yo?" Reno exclaimed. "You should've stayed. I swear you kids will be the death of me." He sighed.

"Sorry." I muttered in response.

"Tomorrow you'll have to talk to him, yo, and I won't take no for an answer." He said then left me alone.

I groaned and wished that tomorrow would never come.

OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO

Roxas pov

Sora was acting really weird this morning… weirder than normal. He had apologized over and over again and I had forgiven him for not trusting me and had become happy about that but then he apologized again and I became suspicious but I let it be. I had more important matters to go through, one of them the kiss. It plagued my dreams at night and even my thoughts in the morning. I just can't get it out of my head! I liked it! It had felt fantastic but why did he pull away? But I'm not supposed to feel anything so why do I care… Argh! Screw this it's no use denying it I feel something for Axel, that much is clear. The question is what should I do about it? Ignore or tell. How do I know if he feels the same? Maybe Marluxia will know what to do. I pulled out my phone and texted him.

'If someone kisses you, does that mean that they like you?' I sent it and got a reply quite quickly.

'1st of all thank U 4 saving me :D 2nd of course he likes U if he kissed U ;) best way is 2 ask him ^^'

I knew Marluxia would know what to do. Now I just... Why the hell is everyone looking at me?

I walked through the corridors as people stared at me and spoke in low voices. (This school really enjoys gossiping). I was about to snap at them when someone jumped me and sent the two of us to the floor.

"I'm so happy for you Roxy." Demyx said as he hugged me.

"Okay?" I detached myself and rose to my feet.

"Yup, I knew you two would get together eventually." He said smiling brightly.

"Dem, we need to go." Zexion said.

"Oh, okay, bye Roxy." He said and walked away with Zexion.

I stared after him and then I actually paid attention to the gossip and heard them mentioning a kiss, me and Axel and a relationship. Then a head with brown spiky hair popped up in my line of vision. Sora came walking towards me.

"You! What did you do?" I pointed at him and glared. "What have you said?" Sora looked scared shitless.

"Well, you see" he began and looked around nervously. "Riku saw you and Axel and then he told me and I kinda spoke a little too loud. He, he…" Sora rambled.

"Enough. I don't wanna hear." I massaged my temples. "So, have you seen Axel?"

"Yeah, I saw him by his locker just now."

"Thanks."

I ran to the lockers and saw Axel's flaming hair and couldn't help myself from chuckling evilly. I ran past a couple of girls and practically floored the blitzball team. When I reached him I grabbed him and dragged him towards the roof. I heard girls squeal but ignored them. I opened the door to the roof and dragged him outside. Then I turned to him but before I could speak Axel did.

"If this is about yesterday I'm really sorry"

"Can you just shut up!" I said and glared at him. "Why did you kiss me?"

"It seemed like a good idea at the time." My eyes narrowed. "No, wait, not like that, it's a quote from a movie. What I meant to say was… "

"Do you like me?"

"Yes." He whispered then closed his eyes. "I understand if you don't want to see me anymore so I'm just gonna go." I grabbed his arm and smiled softly to him.

"Why wouldn't I want to see you anymore?" I asked. "You know I was slightly disappointed when you ended that kiss."

"You serious?" He asked disbelieving but slightly hopeful.

I smiled softly and nodded.

"So, can I kiss you again?" He fidgeted nervously and ran a hand through his hair.

"You don't have to ask." I said and stepped closer taking hold of a few strands of his hair and brought his face down.

Axel smirked.

"I think you might regret saying that." He said and placed a soft kiss on my lips.

I smiled and put my arms around his neck as he circled my waist. This day just looked a bit brighter.

OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO

We ended up being late for our first lessons; he had Geography while I had Art. I was lucky that my teacher was late so I took my seat next to Naminé.

"You and Axel finally sorted it out." She smiled gently.

"How'd you know?" It was a bit creepy that she seemed to know everything.

"It's rather relaxing to draw don't you think?" She smiled.

"Yeah, I guess, but that doesn't answer my question." I asked confused.

"Silly, you are like an open book to me. You're happy, for real, that's how I knew." She giggled softly.

The teacher came running in looking flushed and slightly stressed. She gave us assignments to draw a portrait of how we see each other. Naminé and I worked together. I have always seen her as an angel; she has the heart of one. We began with sketching, I had a picture of her in my head and she seemed to have the same.

I didn't see Axel again until lunch. He was already there when I entered and the sounds died. Everyone was watching as I walked to the table with my normal expression devoid of emotions. I saw Axel smirking and I had to fight a smile of my own. He rose and his smirk turned into a genuinely happy smile. I couldn't stop the smile that stretched over my lips or the butterflies that erupted in my stomach. I dashed and threw my arms around his neck (despite his lanky exterior he was quite strong and we didn't fall to the floor) and kissed him. I heard our friends give catcalls and girls were squealing, probably the yaoi-fangirls. But most of my attention was taken by Axel. When we broke apart he grinned like a Cheshire cat.

"If I had known I would get such a nice hello, I would've confessed sooner." Axel said and sat down in his chair and pulled me down in his lap.

I scoffed and looked down at the table and remembered that I had forgotten my lunch. Sora laughed and handed me my lunch box. I looked at him and tilted my head to the side confused.

"I knew you would forget so I brought it." He explained happily.

"Thanks." I smiled and it wasn't even forced.

"Now he looks sunshiny to me!" Demyx exclaimed joyously.

The others laughed as my expression darkened.

"If you laugh you can forget the 'hello' kisses." I threatened Axel.

"I would never laugh at you, babe." He said but I could hear the mirth in his voice.

"Sure you wouldn't."

The rest of the day wasn't quite as eventful. The school is quite gay-friendly, of course there are some nimrods that don't like us and want us to know, but with a few punches, a boyfriend like Axel and friends like Seifer and Riku, plus Hayner who enjoys fighting, it's no problem. I would say that Sora is the only one who doesn't like to fight but if he does you're screwed. Other than that the day has been brilliant.

Cloud's pov

I blame Roxas for my inability to concentrate in class. If he hadn't brought that Leon person over I wouldn't have had any problems concentrating. I wonder if he'll come back again. Though I hope not or it will be a pain in the buttocks. With a sigh and a grumble I dismounted Fenrir and went inside the house. I walked into the kitchen and stopped short. There in front of me was Roxas, and he was singing. He was singing a happy tune. Happy?! I was about to speak when his phone sounded and he picked it up and checked the message. What he did next almost made me faint; he giggled then it turned into a real and genuine laugh. He wrote something back and then he noticed that I was there.

"Hello." He said brightly. "Classes alright?" He asked as he turned back to his cooking.

"Yea, fine. So how was your day?" Roxas' face turned red and I smirked.

"It was, uh, fine, like any normal day."

"Sure, nothing interesting happened at all?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Nope, nothing at…"

"I'm so sorry Roxas!" Sora interrupted and ran past me. "I didn't mean to tell people about Axel and you kissing." Sora cried and hugged Roxas who stood frozen.

"Ah, so you got a kiss. Someone I know?"

"No…" He began but was interrupted by Riku this time.

"Sora he's already forgiven you. Besides with the way he and Axel were all over each other I don't think he cares." He smirked.

"So his name is Axel." Roxas groaned and buried his face in his hands. "Don't worry." I smiled. "Just make sure to bring him over."

"Fine." He grumbled then he seemed to brighten and smirked evilly. "By the way, Leon is coming over."

I blinked a few times, opened my mouth, closed it and blinked again.

"What?"

As soon as I'd said it the doorbell rang and I felt myself grow nervous.

"Be a dear and see who it is Cloud." Roxas said in a sweet voice.

I moved automatically to the door. My heart was pounding in my chest. I opened and gazed up into stormy gray eyes with a hint of blue.

"Hello, Cloud." Leon said with his smooth voice. "I hope Roxas told you that I was coming?"

"Ah, yes, yes he did… c'mon in."

We made our way to the kitchen.

"Hi, Leon, dinner is almost ready, Cloud can you check the shelves for the flowery bowl?"

"Sure, Rox. You can take a seat at the table." I said turning to Leon who gave me a nod.

I grabbed a chair and began looking at the higher shelves. At the top shelf I thought I could see something flowery and stepped back so I could have a better look. I really should have chosen a better chair… one that is whole for example, but as I hadn't I felt the chair break and found myself falling backwards. I closed my eyes shut and prepared myself to hit the ground when I suddenly was enveloped in a pair of strong arms. I looked up at Leon's worried face and blushed.

"Are you alright?" He asked softly.

"Yes, thank you." I murmured.

"Why don't you two lovebirds go and play in the other room until dinners ready. The bowl was here, sorry Cloud." Roxas smirked and I really wanted to kill him.

I don't think I've been so embarrassed in my entire life. I could even see a faint blush creeping on to Leon's cheek. He gave a slight nod and carried me to the living room. He sat me down on the sofa then took a seat next to me.

"You didn't have to carry me…"

"It was no problem, you're not even that heavy." Leon smirked as I grumbled at the 'not heavy' part.

"Yeah." I sighed. "Um, sorry about Roxas, he's a little…" I trailed off not knowing what to say.

"I don't mind, he's a fun kid." I snorted. "Must be tough taking care of them and still be in school."

"Yeah, but they're both worth it." I smiled softly. "Sorry for bother…"

"No bother at all, I asked remember." He said with a small smile.

"Dinner's ready!" Roxas yelled from the kitchen.

"Want me to carry you?" Leon smirked.

"I can walk just fine." I retorted with a smile of my own.

After dinner Leon stayed a bit before having to leave. I followed him to the door while Roxas, Sora and Riku played Trivial Pursuit (me and Leon had already finished, Leon won).

"Thank you for having me over." Leon said as he put on his jacket.

"No problem, it was fun having you." I smiled.

Leon smiled back and surprised me by giving me soft kiss on my cheek. He said goodbye and then he left. Maybe it wasn't so bad that Roxas had brought him over. I turned around and saw an amused Roxas.

"You two seem friendly." He said.

"So when will you bring Axel over for dinner." I smirked and his smile disappeared.

Yes, this was an alright day after all.

OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO

Normal pov

The room was dark except for the candles that gave enough light for him to read the old documents. There were no sounds but the wind outside the window. The man sat in a chair and was quite annoyed when he heard a knocking on the door.

"Enter." The man said with a dark and raspy voice. The door opened and a man dressed in a white robe entered.

"Excuse me Master."

"What is of such great importance that you felt the need to disturb me, Lugae?"

"They have reopened the Strife-case, sir." The man called 'Master' leaned back in the chair.

"Reopened it you say. Hm… for what reason?" Master questioned himself.

"It seems that it was by orders of Jenova." Dr Lugae said.

"Jenova?"

"Yes, and Rufus Shinra is also involved."

"Both Jenova and Shinra working together… maybe they have more information regarding the Strifes' work." He turned to the wall and gazed at the maps and unsolved writings. "Keep an eye on them and let me know their every move. If they have the key it will soon be in my possession." He smirked.

"Of course Master, I will see to it." Dr Lugae said before leaving the room.
