"Why? I mean I know he doesn't know how I feel about him, but still! I just can't believe it," Axel said just letting his tears run down his face and wet his gloved hands. He just couldn't believe it! Fate was cruel, or maybe it just enjoyed playing with peoples feelings. Axel had finally worked up the courage to tell Roxas how he felt, and he didn't care if his feelings were returned. He just wanted the blond to know how he felt.

Now he was just plain tired. He had even missed dinner because he was so upset over the blonde. He was gonna get Xion back for what she did to him. Even though it might have been Roxas who started the kiss. Axel didn't care, he just wanted Roxas for himself.

"Axel?"

Sitting up Axel realized he was about to fall asleep when he heard Roxas' angelic voice coming from the other side of his door. Getting up he wondered what he should do, and what the blonde wanted. Was he going to rub the fact that Xion had just kissed him in Axel's face? Keeping these thoughts going till he unlocked the door and opened it. Standing right before him was, no one. Roxas had left, but he put something in front of Axel's door. A stuffed Moogle.

Then it hit Axel, Roxas had been sent to Twilight Town that day. They were having a carnival earlier and Roxas must of took his chance and won the plush toy for him. Picking it up he noticed there was a note under it. Grabbing the card and putting it on his desk with the toy Axel locked his door and went over to open the card.

It read:

Hey Axel. I know you haven't been feeling well so I figured I'd give this to you early. I was originally going to give this to you on your birthday but I thought it would cheer you up some.

~Roxas

This almost made Axel forget what happened between Xion and Roxas. In fact in this moment he could care less. Pining the note to his board above his desk he grabbed the Moogle and sat down on his bed. Laying down his eyes peacefully drifted shut. Gripping the Moogle tight the only thought on his mind was Roxas.

Waking the next morning he realized he had dropped the Moogle under his bed. leaning over to pick it up he noticed that there was something on the Moogle that he hadn't noticed the night before. The Moogle was holding a small stuff paopu fruit. Sitting on his bed Axel looked at the plush wondering why Roxas would pick the one with the paopu fruit in its hand. They were just friends at this point. By now there was a knocking at the door, but Axel didn't seem to hear it until he heard the voice.

"Axel, we need to go. Our mission. We've been paired together today."

It was Xion. Oh how Axel wished she would just disappear. He wanted her to leave and never come back, or even better. She would make a big mistake and be turned into a Dusk.

"Axel?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm coming," Putting the plush Moogle on his pillow Axel walked towards the door fighting back the urge just to open it and smack her. Unlocking it and opening the door to step out he noticed that she had this kind of gloom about her. Ignoring this he just walked past her towards where Saix was to give him the information on his mission today. He already knew that Xion was his partner today but he had no clue where they were going or what they were even supposed to be doing.

"Hey, Saix. Where are we headed today?"

"Oh, Axel. Your finally awake. Today you will be headed to Twilight Town. All you need to know is on this paper. Leave when ever you two are ready," and without another word Saix turned around to face the heart shaped moon that was called Kingdom Hearts. Thanks to Roxas and Xion, they had come so close to their final goal. Hearts of their own.

Leading Xion over to a portal that Axel had opened, he noticed that she looked even more gloomy than she did when she was at his door. Trying to ignore this he kept on through the darkness to Twilight Town. Pulling out the piece of paper Saix had given him he heard Xion mumble something.

"What," Axel asked. Although his voice was lacking a caring tone.

"I said you're lucky," Xion said not looking Axel in the face.

"How am I lucky? I mean I saw you..." Axel realized he probably just blew the fact on what he saw.

"You saw what?"

"Nothing, just forget I said anything," with this Axel took the paper and just left Xion standing there were the portal was. It took a minute or two before she started to follow him, but she did. Looking at the paper Axel was having a hard time reading it. Saix's hand writing had been horrible ever since they were kids. You'd think it'd get better as he aged, but it didn't.

"Ugh, this is so difficult. Why couldn't he just tell me what I needed to know," Axel said squinting at the paper, about ready to rip it to shreds.

"Axel, I'm sorry for whatever I did to make you angry with me. It's just, I don't know. I think there's something you should know," Xion said trying to stay a safe distance from the extremely angry Axel. Yet still close enough to make it seem like she wasn't trying to avoid him at the same time.

"What is it now Xion," Axel said not looking up from the paper.

"Uh, well I know you saw me kiss Roxas last night," this of course made Axel almost freeze where he stood.

"You know?" Axel asked turning to face her now.

"Of course. Why else would you lock yourself in your room?"

"Oh, well," Axel couldn't think of a very good reason.

"I also bet that you being angry with me had something to do with me kissing Roxas, but I wasn't sure. Anyway, after I kissed him. Well you must have not seen this but, he told me that he liked someone else. That there was someone he really cared for. Yet he didn't know if that person would return the same feelings."

"Well, great. Did he mention who our new competition was?" To Xion, Axel seemed extremely on edge today.

"No, but I think I know who it is. I see the way you look at him. You like him, I know that. And he likes you. Just the way you two look at each other, it's pretty easy to tell that each of you have feelings for each other, yet you hesitate because you don't know how the other will react to your feelings. Or that's my theory anyway."

Xion said it with such confidence that Axel was sure that she knew what she was talking about.

"Thank you Xion. You're a good friend. Now what do you say we finish this mission and go have some ice cream," Axel said rubbing her head playfully. With that Xion giggled and they left to go finish their mission.
