I woke up the next morning and instantly remembered what had happened last night. I smiled to myself feeling excited on the inside. I jumped out of bed and opened my door not even looking at the time. I saw Axel's room door was slightly open.

"Axe?" I called.

I opened the door slightly to see a perfectly made bed. Yet there was no Axel.

'He…He left?' I thought sadly to myself.

I walked over to the bed. There was nothing. No note or clue. I went downstairs. The kitchen was clean just as it had been left the night before. I looked outside. Axel's car was gone. I searched the house for what felt like hours looking for a note. There wasn't one I could find. My eyes came across the blanket which he had covered me with when I had fallen asleep on him last night. I walked over to the couch and sat down. I covered myself with the blanket. It smelt of Axel. I smiled to myself slightly again at the memory of last night.

"Why would you leave…Why would you just leave me like that? Did it mean nothing to you?" I whispered.

"Who left? What didn't mean anything to who?" I heard Axel's voice.

I jumped up.

"Axel!" I exclaimed happily. He simply smiled in return.

"I thought you left…" My smile faded.

I heard him laugh and I became confused.

"Don't you check your phone?! I left you a voicemail. I told you I was picking up some groceries to make breakfast. Then I sent you a text saying that I'd treat you to a bought breakfast but I got some groceries for us anyway since I'm going to be moving in" He smiled.

It hit me. I had been looking for a note. All I had to do was check my phone! I felt so stupid. The time I had wasted looking for a note. I smiled at the realisation of what he had said.

"You still want me to move in…right, Roxas?" He asked. He looked concerned that I may have changed my mind.

"More than anything" I smiled back to him.

He simply nodded. I saw him disappear into the kitchen and heard the brown paper bags get placed on the counter. A few seconds later he emerged from the kitchen. He had a brown paper bag in his hand and 2 coffee cups. He placed them on a side shelf before approaching me. I became nervous. I wondered if this was some sort of consolation for what had happened last night. Some sort of 'I'm-sorry-this-happened' gift. I really hoped it wasn't. As he got closer his arms wrapped around me and I froze.

'Does he…Does he not regret last night?' I thought happily to myself. My arms wrapped around him in return.

"Rox…I really do care about you…" I heard him say. I smiled at his words.

"I really care about you too Axel" I smiled. He pulled away slightly to look into my eyes. At that moment I realised that last night wasn't a mistake. I realised that it was only the beginning of something greater between me and Axel that we both shared together. He kissed me gently which took me by surprise. Keeping my lips pressed to his he picked me up and spun me round gently before placing my feet gently back on the ground. I smiled and he pulled away slightly.

"You hungry?" He asked. I simply nodded and he let go of me to grab breakfast from the shelf. He handed me 2 white sugar sachets and a plastic stirrer.

"I didn't know if you wanted sugar but I got you some anyway" He smiled whilst he handed them to me. I smiled.

"2 white sugars is perfect…Thankyou" I leaned over to give him a gentle peck on the lips. He smiled and I took the lid off of the coffee and opened the sachets to put them into my coffee. Seconds later he gave me the brown paper bag it was open. I looked inside and there was a bagel in there. I smiled and took one and began eating it.

When breakfast was all finished with I took mine and Axel's mess in the kitchen to throw away. When I opened the bin I saw a scrunched up piece of paper. It looked like it had been written on. It got my attention. I picked it up before throwing our stuff into the bin. I took my foot off of the pedal and the bin closed behind me. I unfolded the note. It read:

'Dear,
Roxas.

I know this is a stupid way to start the day by leaving a note on your door but hopefully you'll find it. I'm not so good with this stuff. Like I said yesterday I don't want to waste another second of my time on people that don't deserve it. Last night you changed so many things about me. You have made me realise that I was lying to myself. I've always been gay but I just never wanted to admit it. I finally realised what it's like to feel like you belong with someone. Hell, if that's you then I've outdone myself. You're one of the most amazing people I've ever known. I just hope you don't regret last night. Maybe…if you wanted…we could do something about this? It might sound stupid and you probably wont want to because I'm me. If you did want to date me though…WHY ARE YOU STILL WRITING?! HE'LL REJECT YOU ANYWAY!'

I gasped as I read the last 2 sentences. It wasn't true. I felt exactly the same way. Then I wondered how to confront him. As I stared at the note a moment longer Axel walked in.

"Hey, Rox? You oka-" He got cut short when he saw me staring at the unscrewed note. I looked up at him for a second. He looked as if he had just killed someone. I'm guessing he thought I would never find it. He stared at me with apologetic eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked simply. I saw Axel's eyes shift from mine. He looked down. I saw him shrug.

"Don't you want to date me?" I asked feeling slightly hurt. He looked up straight into my eyes. He approached me slightly.

"Of course I do! I was just afraid that you'd reject me…" He sighed looking down once more. He began twiddling his thumbs.

"Well I wouldn't have…" I whispered informatively. He nodded slightly.

"I know. So...we're both…living together and…we both…like each other…" He cringed at his awkwardness as did I.

"Wow. You were right. You're really not good at this stuff..." I laughed. He smiled with me but shook his head in embarrassment.

"So that's a yes?" He smiled cheekily looking up at me again. I smiled and nodded. His grin widened. I felt his arms wrap around me and he picked me up until I was his height. I wrapped my legs around his torso for support. He kissed me gently. I didn't want just one. He was my boyfriend now I had every right to claim more. I placed my hand on his cheek and smiled leaning in for more kisses. After one long moment my lips were pressed against his. I felt him smile. I did the same. I could feel us moving. Axel deepened the kiss as our tongues danced with each other. I felt myself being gently lowered and I felt something soft under me. Axel gently pulled away and I realised I was sat on the couch. He sat down next to me. I pouted at the fact our kissing was over. He just chuckled at me. He poked my nose cutely and I poked his forehead in return. We both laughed.

"Do you want to go out today?" Axel asked. Well it was Saturday…I smiled and nodded. Then I realised.

"What if someone sees us?" I asked. His face dropped.

"What if someone does?" He asked in an annoyed tone.

"Well…Axe I just don't think that-" I was cut short.

"Are you ashamed?" He asked. I shook my head instantly. I put my hand on his chest as I snuggled closer to him.

"No Axe! How could I be?! It's just others I'm worried about…People aren't always so accepting…" I sighed. He nodded in understanding.

"True but…we shouldn't be ashamed of who we are. It's their fault if they have a problem. It should not affect how we behave." He informed. He had a valid point and I wasn't ashamed of him at all. I was proud. I wanted to show him off like some crazed kid who just got a new toy. Axel was perfect in every single way. He was handsome, caring, gentle, inspiring, deep, insightful and best of all I had him all to myself. I nodded at him. I kissed his cheek.

"We can go to the park" He smiled as did I. I nodded in agreement.

"Sure" I smiled.

"Better get dressed then" He smiled. Then I realised that I didn't have any more clothes that would fit Axel. He saw the concern in my eyes.

"I brought some stuff from mine this morning…especially since I'll be living here from now on" He smiled. I couldn't help but smile back it was so infectious. I ran up the stairs as fast as I could to get ready to go to the park. I put on some black jeans and a white t-shirt with red sleeves. When I had finished getting dressed I went into Axel's room to see his stuff in a bin bag on the floor. 'He'll probably put his stuff away later' I smiled to myself. I walked down the stairs to see him.

Axel had a basket in hand. I stared at him he was wearing blue jeans with a white t-shirt which had black sleeves. It really defined his muscles. I stared at the basket for a moment remembering my confusion. He followed my eyes to the basket and smiled.

"Did I forget to mention that I'd be bringing a picnic for us?" He smiled. I laughed.

"Yeah, you may have forgotten a small detail like that" I teased. He simply smiled.

"Well, you know now! Come on let's go!" He said enthusiastically. It almost made me jump he was so loud. I grinned. He intertwined our fingers as we left the house. I locked the door behind us and then we began to walk. The park was only a 5 minute walk from our house so it was not a lot of effort and there was no point in taking the car and such a nice day. It was breezy but the sun was shining letting it's rays provide heat for us. I smiled as the heat reached my face.

When we arrived at the park it was almost empty. The football pitch on the other side of the playground was full of 12-14 year olds playing football. There were some older kids but I couldn't tell what age they were as they were mainly sat on the bench which was too far away to see in detail. There were no children on the playground so we sat on the other side of it so we didn't disturb the footballers. Axel laid down a blanket for us to sit on and then opened the basket. He pulled out some orange soda and some flavoured water. He pulled out 2 large plastic cups. He also pulled out a box of straws and a selection of foods. This included: sandwiches, crisps, nuts, chocolate and some other snacks. I smiled at how much effort he must of gone through.

"Axe you really didn't have to do all of this for me" I smiled.

"Well I'm glad I did. Especially since now this is our first date" He smiled whilst pouring orange soda into my cup. He handed it to me with the straw box. I pulled out a blue one as he pulled out a green one for himself after pouring his own orange soda. I held my cup up as he watched.

"Cheers! To a new beginning with someone special!" I toasted. Axel smiled. He touched his cup to mine.

"To the start of our relationship. May it last many years if not longer" He smiled. I blushed. We pulled our glasses away and took a drink to our toasts.

"I really do want it to last though, Rox" He smiled taking a sip of his orange soda. I smiled.

"Me too, Axe. I really, really do" I smiled. I leaned in and kissed him gently on the lips before pulling away. He smiled at my gesture.

"You enjoying this picnic?" He asked munching on a sandwich. I nodded.

"Yeah. I really am. I still can't believe you did all of this for me!" I smiled.

"Well, you'd better start believing it because I'm going to treat you right" He winked. I chuckled at his action.

After a few hours of talking the sun was starting to set. I saw all of the footballers gather up their belongings and begin to leave the park.

"Oh Shit!" I heard Axel curse. I looked over at him turning my attention away from the departing footballers.

"What's wrong, Axe?" I asked.

"I forgot something it was meant to be for the sunset…It was a surprise!" He said annoyed at himself. I placed my hand on top of his for comfort.

"It's okay Axe I'll see it when I get home" I smiled. He shook his head.

"Quick! Hand me the key and I'll run back and grab the stuff I'll come back and we can watch the sunset together okay?" He smiled. I nodded. I took the key out of my pocket and threw it to him as he was already stood up by the time I had got it out. As soon as the key reached his hands he ran. He waved as he went around the corner. It was a good thing we lived so close otherwise he'd never make it back in time. As I gazed up at the sun becoming lower in the sky. Then it happened. I heard a chilling voice from behind me.

"Hello…Roxas…I see you've recovered well…" I heard.

"Seifer…" I whispered angrily.
