Sillhouettes

Axel shakes his head clear of the smell and begins the slow trek down the hallway. Turning right down the staircase he catches sight of the blond in the kitchen with a small white apron. Axel felt a little bit like a stalker watching this kid. He headed down the stairs to get a better view, and hopefully, a meal.

Feeling very accomplished for himself, Roxas takes a better look around. After making sure everything ws perfect he went to check on Mr. Red.
What a surprise he got to find out said person was walking down stairs. What was he going to say? Did the man speak the same language? What if he was hostile? These were things that roxas should have thought earlier. Hmm, guess it ws a little too late to go back now. Sucking up all the courage he could faced the person walking down stairs and opened his mouth to speak.

"Guess you're awake then huh? Are you hungry, I made us something called pizza." Roxas stated very camly, even though he wanted to hide.

Mr. Red stopped at the bottom of the stairs and smiled sheepishly. Probably wondering the exact same things as the blond. Then smiled and rubbed at the back of his head.

"Thanks! Sorry about the spill back there, by the way. My name is Axel. A-X-E-L. Got it memorized?" Axel smirked and said smoothly with the reply.

Roxas blushed and walked over to shake hands with Axel.

"It's nice to meet you. Gets really lonely without anybody else to talk to. Did you have a good sleep?"

Axel looked around the room in thought admiring downstairs. He faced the blond again before answering.

"Yeah it was okay. Your bed is really nice and warm. Mind if we ate?"

"Sure, hope you dont mind water."

Axel and Roxas sat across from eachother on the table, and started eating Roxas' pathetic attempt at dinner for two.

"How long have you been in this world?"

Roxas looks up from the table at the question. How long was he here? Ever since he can remember really. But how long was Axel here? There was only one way to find out.

"Ever since I first woke up. Lets play 20 questions and get it out of the way."

Axel gives Roxas a sideways look. Maybe it would be better to explain it first.

"I heard about it from books I've read. You ask eachother question alternately until you can't think of anything else to ask."

"Oh okay."

"How long have you been watching me?"

Roxas shoots an accusing look at Axel after asking the question.

"Just today. Did you paint that picture on the easel?"

"Yes. What's your favorite color?"

"Red. You?"

"Dark Blue. Is there anybody else you know of?"

"Nope just y-o-u. How old are you?"

"19. You?"

"28. Do you know anything else about this world?"

"Everything looks brand new and nothing is dusty but we are the only two people here. Do you?"

"Same thing. Do you like Sea salt ice cream?"

"Yeah. Are you gay?"

"Yeah, you?"

"Yeah. Want to help me clean up?"

They look around the table to see that they had finished eating. Must have been automatically doing it not really tasting the food. Axel got up and put the dishes in the sink.

"Done. Have you seen those weird monster things?"

"Wait huh?"

"Those things that look a little like giants ants but they have four legs intead of six."

"No. Are they dangerous?"

"Yeah. Do you have any weapons?

"This blade shaped like a key. Do you?"

"I have some back at my house called chakrams. Would you like to show me around the house?"

"Love to. Do you want to stay here?"

Axel thought about his for a while. Should he stay here with blondie in this big house? Or should he go back slinking around hiding from the shadows?

"If you'd let me then yes. If those shadow things come here will you fight them off with me?"

Axel looked up from washing the dishes to face Roxas while asking. Roxas turns around to look at him.

"That sounds like fun."

If you can't tell..I have writers block. Grr.
