"So, Roxas, we gonna go or what?"
"Yeah, yeah. Just give me a minute Axel. I need to find Sora's necklace. He said he left it over here last time. I thought I would be nice and try and find it for him," Roxas said looking under the couch. Only Axel remembered the hard times and the good times in their past lives. It wasn't easy but they made it, together, and now it was the Next Life. They were enjoying it too. No worries, no Organization XIII, Sora turned out to be Roxas' twin in this world, and actual hearts too! Life just couldn't get any better.
"Well hurry up then, because we got to leave to go meet everyone at the beach. It is three days till summer vacation ends," the redhead said looking at his watch.
"Alright, I think I found it. Can up lift up the couch and I'll grab it?"
"Sure," Axel said setting the beach bag down and going over to help his lover. Reaching down to pull up the couch so that the blonde could reach the necklace his cell started to ring, "Hold on I think it might be Sora or Riku. Hello? Oh, hey Sora. Yeah, yeah. We're just about ready to leave. Roxas just found your necklace and so he wanted to return it to you. Yep, uh huh. Sure, no problem. See ya there."
"So what did he want?"
"Oh, nothing much. He just said that him and Riku picked up the snacks and some drinks, and that the only thing that they want us to pick up is Sea Salt ice cream," Axel said putting his phone away and grabbing the couch to pull it up so Roxas could get the necklace. Letting down the couch gently, Axel looked at Roxas. He still couldn't believe that just because Zexion said some stuff he almost killed himself. His little angel, the love of his life.
"What," Roxas said with a confused look on his face.
"Oh nothing. Just admiring my little blonde angel," Axel said playfully ruffling Roxas' hair.
"Well, if you say so. Come on, were gonna be late," Roxas said grabbing the beach bag and running to the door.
The car ride there was filled with laughter and enjoyment between the two. As they arrived they were greeted by their friends, Kairi, Sora, Riku, Xion, Demyx, Zexion, and Marluxia. Getting out and grabbing the stuff from the back of Axel's red Volvo Convertible, Roxas pulled out Sora's necklace and handed it to him.
"Here, I think that's yours," Roxas said with a big grin on his face.
"Thank you Roxas! I really don't know what I would do without this," Sora said flinging himself around his twins neck.
"Hey, it's no biggie."
"Hey, I think Dem is getting really impatient," Zexion said nodding towards his boyfriend. Demyx was like a child when it came to the beach. He couldn't wait to get there, and when it was time to leave he would pout or throw a fit. Grabbing the rest of the stuff, Axel looked at the rest running towards the beach, with exception of Zexion. He wasn't really one to get excited, or like to be out in the sun much.
"Just like children aren't they?"
"Oh, hey Riku. Yeah," Axel said grinning at how Demyx, Sora, and Roxas were running and splashing each other.
"I know how you feel. I mean, about being one of only a few here that remember what went on last life. I only pretend not to remember. For Sor'a sake. The same thing you do with Roxas right? You pretend you don't remember the hurt, and pain you guys went through. I'm gald we can all finally have our happy endings together. You and Roxas, me and Sora, and Demyx and Zexion," Riku said helping Axel with the ice cream and drinks.
"So, you knew this whole time? I thought I was the only one who remembered," Axel said walking with Riku to where Zexion was sitting under a small beach umbrella.
"No, in fact you, Namine, and I are the only ones who remember. Although Namine thinks that I don't know she knows. See she hides it from Kairi, and Xion. They are here best friends and she hides it like us. She doesn't want them to know what she did back there at Castle Oblivion," Riku said looking down at his feet.
"Yeah, it is kinda unfair that we are the only ones here remember what horrible things had happened, and all the bad things we caused. Although, I'd remember it all so Roxas wouldn't have to know any of it."
"Yeah, I just wish I could undo what I did in my past life. Then most of this probably would never happened. Sora wouldn't have gotten hurt, and maybe just maybe, you and Roxas coud of been happy together," Riku said with a sigh as they neared the umbrella. Setting downt the stuff next to Zexion they sat down with him and just watched everyone else play in the water, and waited for a few others to arrive.
Of course, Zexion didn't want to be there so he just sat there reading his book he brought with him, and Axel still couldn't stand the water. Riku he really didn't mind just sitting there and watching Sora play.
"So, I take it we're late," Xigbar said making all three older males turn.
"Well, look who decided to show up," Riku said giving them a smirk.
"Hey, Luxords the one who insisted on stopping and getting some "drinks". Then he wanted to go and play some cards at a local pub. We pretty much had to drag him out of the game," Larxene growled.
"Hey, guyzzzz," a drunk voice said from behind Axel, "Ya, Axel. Wan ta play zom cardzzz?" Luxord asked leaning on the redhead.
"No Luxord, and I really don't think we need to be swimming either, Axel said brushing him off.
"Aw, you're just sore cuz I beat ya last time," Luxord said smirking stupidly at the group.
"As if! You're on!" Xigbar said helping Luxord up and helping him over a picnic table so they could play.
"Well, what about you? Swim or no," Axel asked already know the answer.
"Heck no! I hate the water, I'm gonna tan," Larxene said while walking away to set up her chair.
"Well, looks like almost everyone is here. We're just missing Aqua, Ven, Vanitas, Tidus, Wakka, Olette, Hayner, Pence, and Terra.," Riku said watching Sora try and build a sand castle with Demyx. Noticing that the girls and Marluxia were doing the same.
"Must be a sand castle building contest. Wanna go help," Axel asked.
"Sure, why not. Maybe the rest will show up by the time we're done. Wanna come with Zexion?"
"No, I really don't understand the point," Zexion remarked not looking up from his book.
"Ok, well if you change your mind you know where to find us," Riku said walking away with Axel. All of them worked together on the castle to beat the girls and Marluxia. Of course the girls and Marluxia won. By the time they were almost done with that Hayner, Pence, Olette, Tidus, and Wakka had shown up. The day was almost half over and the other four still hadn't show up. Deciding to give them a few minutes the rest decided to sit down for lunch and ice cream that was starting to melt.
"Hey, I guess you gusy already started lunch without us?"
"Aqua! Glad you finally made it," Sora waved with a full mouth nearly choking.
"Well, no need to kill yourself over it," Ven laughed. Strangely enough Ven wasn't a part of Roxas and Sora's family. Roxas and Ven only looked a like. Really a like. They got mistaken for twins a lot, and triplets when Sora was with them.
"Well, you gonna eat or what?" Demyx asked handing a sandwich to Aqua.
"Thanks Dem, oh and you probably want to know the reason we're so late. Vanitas, or Ven, I think you might want to be the one to tell them.," Aqua said almost about ready to squeal with excitement. Everyone knew that she was obviously excited about something big because she was really antsy. That always meant something big had happened, or she knew something big and no one else did. In this case it was both for everyone but the group had just arrived.
"Well, I wanted to do something big for Ven and me in our relationship. Well, today I decided to propose," Vanitas said holding Ven's hand.
"That's great," Sora squealed, nearly falling over.
"Looks like he stole yoru thunder Axel," Marluxia whispered in the redheads ear.
"What! No, I just, uh. Well," Axel began to blush.
"Still planning on proposing at sunset when you get him to take a walk with you? Or are you going to wait for another day," Marluxia questioned.
"Wait, how did you know that was what I was going to do, and the fact that I was going to propose," Axel whispered back in shock while watching everyone congratulate Ven and Vanitas.
"I know stuff like that. Plus I saw the box in the beach bag. It came uncovered when you tried to find the chips for Roxas," Marluxia smirked.
"Oh, I think I still will. No, in fact I will. I know I will," Axel said with confidence.
"Well, good luck. Crossing my fingers for you!"
"Thanks, I just hope I don't do anything stupid," Axel said blushing.
"You'll do fine. Just keep your calm. Vexen nearly had a heart attack when he tried proposing to me."
"Oh yeah. Where is he?"
"He stayed home. He really didn't find any point in coming. At least Zexion came for Demyx. I wish Vexen would just tear away from his work for one second to do something fun."
"Well, good luck with that," Axel said looking at the rest of the group. He always was one to sit back and watch what was going on, unless instructed to. Or it involved him in some way. Axel never really did mind. In fact he would rather just sit back and watch his sweet little angel.
"So, Axel. What do you want to talk about? Did Riku say something again," Roxas looked at the redhead with a sweet little look.
"No, no. Nothing of the sort. It's just I have something to say," Axel said getting down on one knee, and held Roxas' hand. "Roxas, I know it's just a small stretch, but I know that you love me, and that I love you. I took a long time to build up my courage to do this, but Roxas Strife. Will you take me to be yours, and yours alone. Forever," he asked pulling out the small box that contained the ring.
"Oh, Axel. Yes, yes I will. Forever, and ever," Roxas said picking up the box and putting the ring on his finger.
"He said yes!" Axel screamed to everyone, and jumped up and hugged Roxas.
"Go Axel!" Marluxia yelled back. Everyone came over to congratulate the two.
Setting him down, Axel couldn't help but go in for a kiss on the cheek, but Roxas pulled him into a full kiss. Pulling away reluctantly Axel looked at his angel. His one and only love.
