Ok my lovelies. First I want to thank ALL of you lovely reviewers out there who wrote me something. Made me happy. BUT I know for a fact because I frequently check my hit count, that many more folks have looked at this. Drop me a line! It would make my day. AND ye who wish me to update, you need to leave me a suggestion or I am unable to do such! BUT I have two. as of this moment. so all is well.

AND Inspire-Illuminate owes me nothing whatsoever because without whom there would be no chapters to this story yet. XD

So anyway. Enough of talking.

"talking" thinking ((yours truly))

What If…

Axel and Roxas had a snowball fight?

((as suggested by the lovely Inspire-Illuminate))

Roxas laughed happily as he fell into a huge drift of snow in the outskirts of Christmas Town. I love snow, Roxas thought as he made a snow angel by flapping his arms and legs, still chuckling.

"What are you doing, you crazy?" Axel said grumpily. I hate the snow. It has nothing to do with fire. Plus, he added sourly, it pretty much hurts to touch it. He sent a general glare in Roxas' direction.

Roxas sat up, returning the glare light-hearted. "Oh stop pouting. Just because you don't enjoy the snow doesn't mean that I don't get to!" He grinned mischievously and turned his back on Axel.

Axel, nonplussed, looked curiously in Roxas' direction. Whenever he got close to whatever Roxas was doing, Roxas would hunch over further, hindering his view. Axel sighed, and was about to give up when-

WHAM.

He was pelted in the face with a snowball.

Axel let out a string of expletives that would make a sailor proud.

"Goddammit Roxas, what in fuck were you thinking!" Roxas flinched at Axel's unusually harsh tone. "I control fire. Do you think I would enjoy snowballs, which are water based, being thrown in my face?"

Roxas looked hurt and muttered a small apology. Axel, sighing, made to move towards town to eliminate some Heartless, when he stopped and got an idea. Then, he unceremoniously disappeared through a portal back to the World that Never Was.

Roxas sighed as Axel left through the portal. Great, he thought, now he's probably going to go pout in his room until I come back and apologize in some scandalous way to fit his perverted desires… Roxas continued to think in his romance-novel thought line until two minutes later, Axel returned with a bag of puffy objects.

"ONE SECOND!" Axel said triumphantly, and turned his back on Roxas. Five minutes later, he turned around. Roxas fell back in the snow laughing.

Axel had emptied the bag, which was filled with winter wear for playing outside. He currently wore 8 pairs of gloves, which made his hands obscenely out of proportion, 3 scarves, and a ski mask with a hole cut into the top to let his hair stick out.

Axel looked at Roxas, confused. "…What? I want to play in the snow?"

"You…look…ridiculous!" Roxas ground out, still laughing.

"Fine, I'll just go over here and make a little Snow-Roxas who won't laugh at me…"Axel muttered as he went over to a different snow drift. A few minutes later, Roxas finally contained his laughter and went to look over at the "Snow-Roxas" that Axel was attempting to make.

As he neared the snowthing, Roxas realized that it did indeed look a lot like him. He frowned as he got closer. "Axel, what-Axel you can't make a snowman positioned like that!" Launching a battle cry, Roxas tackled Axel into the perverse Snow-Roxas. Axel let out a small 'oof' as he hit the ground.

"Hey, that isn't proper snow etiquette!" Axel complained as he shoved Roxas off. Roxas looked surprised, until Axel dove army style behind a snow drift. "SNOWBALL FIGHT!"

Grinning, Roxas dove behind a snowdrift across from the one Axel was behind. After steadily making snowballs for a few minutes, Roxas began to hear grunts of frustration coming from behind Axel's fort. "What the hell Axel?" Roxas asked questioningly.

"Damn…gloves…cant bend my fingers well enough to form snowball…." Axel muttered, deep in concentration.

Roxas tried. He really did. But after walking over to Axel's fort and seeing him try in vain to make a fist around the snow, he lost it. After regaining his composure after Axel threatened to set Roxas' fort on fire, Roxas sat down and made him a small pile of snowballs. "There. Don't waste them." Roxas said.

"Oh, I won't," Axel said, picking one up and chucking in Roxas' face. "That was for earlier." Glaring, Roxas made for his own fort before he was barraged with snowballs.

A vicious snow-fight soon ensued. Axel quickly ran out of ammunition, and a battle geared Roxas (who was pelted in the face with a snowball) wouldn't make him anymore. Axel looked around frantically for some ideas, until he gritted his teeth and took off all the gloves on one hand. Upon beginning to make a snowball, he made an amazing discovery. Although he inadvertently melted the snowballs, for a few seconds, if he concentrated his energy properly, they were set on fire. Axel grinned devilishly and made a snowball one handed.

"Take this Roxy!" Axel sent a flaming snowball at his fort that put a gaping hole in it. Roxas gaped at the offending hole and went to patch it up.

"Axel that's chea-" Roxas was cut off as a barrage of flaming snowballs was sent at him. Roxas stood frozen as his entire fort was melted.

Axel grinned as he stood up triumphantly. "I win, I win!" He did a little dance of happiness. Roxas glared at him.

"You cheated."

"The best way to win!" he continued dancing.

Roxas grew more and more irked until he cried out in anger and tackled Axel to the ground, pulling off his ski mask. "You do realize," he ground out, "that you are surrounded by your weakness, and just pissed off someone impervious to snow's effects?" Roxas picked up a huge pile of snow and held it over Axel's head, looking at him threateningly.

Axel's eyes widened. "You wouldn't."

Roxas didn't reply, but lowered the snow quickly, as if to drop it. Axel flinched. Roxas started laughing and threw the huge snowpile away. "I'm kidding you idiot! How would I benefit from giving you a concussion?"

Axel grinned. "You'd miss me too much," he winked at him. Roxas glared.

"Of course, Axel," he said sarcastically, "I would just die without you. And the lovechild that I am secretly pregnant with from our impassioned tryst would be a bastard because I had to go and dump snow one your head…"

Axel burst out in laughter. "You have been reading too many romance novels, Roxy."

"I know." he said, grinning.

Axel smirked. "You know, he said, pulling the Roxas who was still on top of him closer, "you would be better than any Snow-Roxas I could make…"

Roxas turned pink and dipped lower to kiss Axel quickly. He meant to pull away, but Axel growled and pulled him closer. However, this action dug them deeper into the snow and Axel had to break away soon, to stand up and get out of the weakening element.

Panting, Axel grinned at Roxas. "Come on! Let's finish this mission so we can go to my element."

Roxas looked at him incredulously. "I am not going to a furnace or whatever you are thinking, crazy."

Axel made the 'tsk-tsk' noise, shaking his head. "Dear Roxy, I mean my bedroom!" he said, chuckling as he started to run towards Christmas Town.

Oh man. Dirty Snow Roxas. XP

You know they don't all have to be Axel and Roxas if you would like to read something else! Cleon and Zemyx and Soriku are fine! Anything you'd like!

LOVE TO THE READERS!
