I do not own Kingdom Hearts or Christmas.
A/N: This one was so much fun to write, kind of writing from Axel's perspective just comes naturally. Although, this is probably a bit OOC, I like to experiment with a softer side of him. So enjoy and happy holidays!
Chapter 4
Axel sighed, sitting on the couch, waiting for Ari to come back down the stairs. What felt like hours to him was only about a half an hour in reality but it seemed like forever. What was she even doing up there that was taking so long!? She said she had to get ready to go to Demyx's Christmas Concert but she never did her hair and only put on a little bit of make-up anyway. This being said, he actually preferred her hair down.
Every time she'd try to put it up, he'd just pull out any ponytails or bobby pins or whatever she used to put it up in the first place. The only style beside it being straight down or down but slightly curled was when she put it up in pigtails or braided it, but he definitely preferred the pigtails on her. They made her look cute.
He finally heard soft, padded footsteps coming down the stairs, the sound was almost as soft as steps a kitten would make. He smiled when he saw her; she had indeed put her hair up in pigtails with red holly springs on the ponytails holding them up. She had on a blue and white snowflake scarf and matching mittens and other passively colored articles of clothing that didn't catch his eye too much.
She raised an eyebrow at him, "Axel, you're staring… Should I go change?" She looked very aghast, as if afraid that she appalled him but THAT definitely wasn't the case. He walked over briskly and put an arm around her shoulder. "You look great, love. We should probably get going." The pair stepped outside into the cold wasteland that was the outside world.
