Chapter 32: Love Game

Xion was staring at the new decoration she made in Roxas' room and smiled satisfied…

-It's perfect. I'm sure he'll like it! –she said excitedly with a big smile on her face. She quickly left the room and went to the Grey Area waiting for Roxas to return from his mission.

It didn't took long before Roxas and Axel appeared from a Dark Corridor talking happily, it seemed like if Axel was trying to convince Roxas about something but Xion didn't gave any importance to what they were saying and went running directly to them.

-Come on Roxas, you must tell her. Trust me, I know why I'm telling you. –Axel suggested but Roxas shook his head

-I already said no! What'll happen if she…

-Roxas, Roxas! I've been waiting for you! –Xion interrupted, Roxas blushed heavily and got really nervous when he saw the girl appear from nowhere in particular

-D…did you heard our…conversation? –Roxas managed to said nervously

-Not really, why? –the girl answered, Roxas sighed in relief

-Forget it… -he said, Xion looked at him curiously but decided to let it pass for this time

-Okay… Hey, I got a surprise for you! –she said excitedly again, Roxas and Axel look at her suspiciously

-Surprise?

-Yep. In your room, Come on. You too Axel… -she said taking both guys hands and running into the blonde guy's room. When they got there, they stepped right in front of the door waiting for the girl to start explaining herself.

-So…where's the surprise? –Axel asked the girl

-It's in the room, why don't you check it Roxas? –the girl offered, the guy doubted a little but nodded and opened the door and entered

-What did you do, Xion? –Axel asked, the girl closed her eyes and smiled

-Just wait and see…

-XIOOOOOOOOOOOOON! WHAT DID YOU DO? –they heard Roxas shout, Xion's expression changed immediately

-Not the reaction I was expecting… -she whispered and quickly entered the room. Axel blinked a few seconds and then followed the two teens.

When he entered the room, he immediately noticed it had many flowers and hearts wallpapers in the walls, there were many dolls on his room which now had pink blankets. The only window had a pink curtain decorated with what he guessed were…unicorns?

Axel stared in disbelief at everything on the room and then turned to see Roxas face who was just like his still staring at everything in disbelief. Axel couldn't resist anymore and burst into laughter. It took a few moments to Roxas to react, he turned and faced Xion who was starting to look a little nervous.

-Xion… please tell me slowly… WHAT THE HELL YOU DID HERE? –he said angrily, Xion was about to explain herself but Axel interrupted her.

-Nice prank, Xion… -he said still laughing, Xion quickly shook her head

-NO! It's not a prank Roxas! I just wanted to do something nice for you! –she explained herself. The two guys stared at the girl and Axel began laughing again.

-Let me see if I understand. You wanted to do something nice for me…placing those horrible curtains and blankets on my room? Not to mention the nasty wallpapers!

-…I'm sorry… I thought you'd like it…. –the girl said ashamed, Roxas stared at the girl not believing a single word from her but when he saw her face he knew she was really ashamed. He sighed and smile her

-Don't worry… It's not that…bad…

-You don't have to lie to make me feel better. I'm going to put it back the way it was, okay? –Xion volunteered and started taking off the wallpapers. Roxas smiled and start doing the same with the blankets and curtains.

Axel when he finally stopped laughing, he gave a small smile to Xion which she misunderstood…

-Are you going to help to, Axel? –the girl asked

-Of course not! I'm going to have dinner. See ya' later. –the guy said leaving. Roxas and Xion blinked a little and turned to each other

-Not the answer I expected… -the girl sighed

A few hours later after dinner, Xion went to Axel's room searching for some advice, She stood in front of his door searching for the correct words and when she finally thought she was ready she knocked the door. A few seconds later Axel opened it.

-Hey Xion, what's up? –he greeted with a smile

-Ummm… I need advice… Please…? –Xion said getting nervous, Axel looked at her suspiciously but let her in. She sat on his bed and stayed in silence a few moments. Axel noticing she wasn't talking made the first move…

-So…what do you need?

-Ummm… how do you think I could…impress Roxas? As you noticed, my first try was a complete failure. –the girl explained, Axel stared in disbelief and sighed

-Why do you two ask ME these things? –Axel mumbled

-Two!? That means Roxas has come to you for advice too!? –Xion asked impressed, Axel started to get nervous knowing he spoke too much

-Ummm, well… Just…a little?

-What kind of advice has he been asking? –Xion asked getting on her feet and staring directly at Axel's eyes, he sighed knowing he wouldn't be able to lie anymore

-Alright, all right… You win… I'll tell you the story…

Meanwhile on other place, Roxas was walking through the halls of the Organization searching for his friends, he first looked on Xion's room but she wasn't there so he decided to look in Axel's room. On the way there, he found Demyx walking to his room, but the Melodious Nocturne greeted him when he saw him.

-Hey Roxas, how you've been? –Demyx asked with a smile, Roxas smiled also

-Everything's been good, how about you?

-Well you know me. I've been hiding from Saix in order to skip missions. This is the 3rd day without mission I have. –Demyx said proudly, Roxas chuckled

-Ironic, Xion was dying for having missions days ago and here you are trying not to do anything. –Roxas explained, Demyx sighed

-Yeah… I wish I had some free time, I mean I'm not a battle guy. If I'm going to do missions, at least let them be recon missions. –Demyx said, Roxas laughed at this

-Good luck with that…

-Hey, now that I remember…Do you talked with Xion? –Demyx asked, Roxas sighed

-I can't. I get nervous every time I want to tell her what I "feel". –Roxas explained disappointed of himself

-But weren't you the one who was dying to see her awake and tell her everything you feel? Now she's awake and you're not doing what you wish the most! –Demyx exclaimed, Roxas sighed again

-That was not the only reason I wanted her to be awake…

-Roxas…

-But what if she doesn't feel the same as me? Our friendship wouldn't be the same!

-Well, you'll have to risk yourself. If you never tell her, one day you'll be sorry. Besides, Xion is a good girl, your friendship won't end for something like that, trust me. –Demyx said, Roxas took a moment to think clearly and finally sighed

-I'm going to think it over this night…

-Good, but let this be the last night, okay? –Demyx warned, Roxas nodded

-Okay. You know something Demyx, Axel's wrong. You aren't stupid. –Roxas smiled, Demyx smiled also

-Thank you…Wait, WHAT!?

Back at Axel's room, the pyro had finished telling Xion the story about Roxas' "feelings" and how he had been when she was asleep. Xion couldn't help but to feel so lucky to have a good friend who worried that much for her.

When Axel finished, he sat on the bed next to Xion and sighed…

-Don't tell him I told you this… I promise him I won't tell you. –Axel warned, Xion stare at him curiously

-Why? It isn't anything bad. Actually, it's cute. –Xion said, Axel smiled

-I'll answer your question with another question…Why are you so interested in all of these?

-Because maybe I feel something for him…for Roxas. –Xion said blushing a little, Axel sighed

-I'm sick of telling you this. Nobodies can't feel a thing…but maybe you two are different…maybe. –Axel said, Xion nodded

-Maybe… Well that's good, right? –Xion asked

-Of course. If you two have hearts, then you should enjoy them as much as you can, specially because you don't remember anything from your previous life! –Axel reminded

-Yeah…I wanted to talk about that with you two, but not now. So…tell me, what should I do with Roxas? –the girl asked with a smile, Axel thought it over a few seconds and then answered

-You two are making this too difficult, why don't you just tell each other what you feel? –Axel suggested, Xion was surprised by his answer

-What!? Just like that!?

-Just like that. You don't have anything too loose. You know what you feel, you know what he feels, so… -Axel added, Xion sighed and lowered her sight thinking about Axel's suggestion

-I don't know Axel…

-Or, you want to try and do something nice for him again and continue ruining his life?

-I didn't ruin his life; it's not my problem not to know what guys like! –Xion said angrily, Axel laughed. After a few seconds, Xion began laughing also…

-Trust me girl, you won't win anything by doing some stupid flirting or just waiting for him to give the first step. Actually, most of the teenagers don't get a relationship just because they don't give the first step, you know…

-It makes sense…

-So...

-You know something Axel? You're right. I'm going to go and see Roxas right now and I'm going to do what I should have done a few days ago! –Xion said decided leaving the room, Axel laughed

-Good luck with that!

-Thank you.
