Hi. So I forgot I had another Date-important What if again. AND rather than wait for it to come around to Christmas, we're all just going to pretend its Christmas in July ne? I'm only a little over a week off…Humor me. XD
And I just finished writing out phase 2 of my summer reading, so to celebrate I might even write this AAAAAAAAAND CoB today. XD AND IMPORTANT BOLD! There's a bit of a contest, if you will, at the end of the chapter. Because I need your help! And manpower needs to be rewarded! XD
Enjoy my loves! Oh yeah…Yes I admit the suicide one left something to be desired, xforalways, I agree (desire pun intended). But I was dry on ideas that day. XD AND Noir, I ALWAYS end on a sexual note cuz it's the first thing that comes to me. Hee! And Noir, I read that story. I laughed at the end.
UkeGlomper, you'd like variety? You got it.
What If…
Axel and Roxas must decorate a Christmas tree?
((as suggested by the lovely Panicchannel))
Roxas grumbled as he slowly ate his pancakes that morning. I had too much caffeine yesterday, he thought dourly, I don't know how I am going to function on two hours of sleep today…
"Roxas…Roxaaaas!" Axel whispered loudly, 'discreetly' launched a pancake ball at him. Roxas rolled his eyes.
Especially with him as my mission partner. "What, Axel? It's really too early for this…"
Axel was unaffected. "But it's Christmas?"
Roxas looked up, confused. "But it's July…" He thought for a moment. Aw shit, it's—
"But it's the 25th! Christmas in July!" Axel all but shouted to the table! Realizing that he was being a little too obnoxious even for his standards, he leaned forward to whisper to Roxas. "So we'll have to celebrate, alright?" he winked.
Roxas sighed and launched the pancake ball back at Axel. "Oh stuff it, you perv."
I'm screwed.
--((wo0t))--
Much to Roxas' delight, their 'mission' in Twilight Town was uneventful. Even better, Twilight Town was having a Christmas in July celebration.
"It just really isn't my day, is it?" Roxas muttered to himself as Axel tried to convince him to go decorate the Christmas tree with the rest of the Twilight Town inhabitants.
"Come on, Rox," Axel pleaded as he longingly watched the festivities, "I want to help! What could possibly go wrong?"
"Oh a hell of a lot of things with you helping," Roxas replied, beginning to walk away. When he noticed Axel wasn't following and continuing to whine, he stopped and turned to find him frozen in place, staring at the ground.
"Am I really that bad?" he responded quietly, unmoving.
Roxas sighed, approaching the redhead. "No, you're not. I just tend to overreact…"
Axel looked up at him, smiling. "Really?"
"Really. So do you really want to decorate that thing?" Roxas asked, pointing in the general direction of the tree.
"Yes!" Axel replied, excited. "It's a break from the norm, you know?"
"I bet," Roxas replied. "I guess…come on," he said, taking Axel's hand and pulling him along towards the tree.
--((naaaawwww))--
The two were easily assigned to work at a section of the giant tree, managing a companionable silence. Roxas focused on arranging the tinsel and garland, while Axel 'discreetly' lit the candles that served as the lights from his palm.
"This is kind of fun," Roxas admitted, circling the candles with tinsel and gold garland.
"I told you," Axel said, smirking as he lit a candle. "Perfect mission."
"Why do you say that?" Roxas asked, absorbed in his task.
"Well, I get to use my power, our lives aren't in danger, and the company isn't half bad either…" Axel said slowly, smiling to himself. "We should do this more often…"
"We should do things like this more often, do you know what I mean?" Roxas half whispered, finishing his corner.
Axel tried to register his vague words. "You mean like….spend more time together?" He turned to Roxas slowly. "Seriously?"
Roxas turned to look at him, considering his words. "Axel, I—Fire!" he started, pointing at where Axel had started to light a candle before looking at Roxas. He missed the candle, and lit the pines, starting a fire on their side.
"Why yes Rox, it's my fingers—holy shit!" He pulled his hand back, watching as the tree was quickly covered in flames.
Roxas and Axel stood back for a moment, watching the fire spread. "I think it's time to go," Roxas said.
Axel summoned a portal.
--((oooops!))--
Axel winced as the two returned to the hallway by their bedrooms in the Castle that Never Was. He's probably going to be mad at me now for causing such a spectacle, he thought. He looked over cautiously at Roxas, who had his back turned to him. His shoulders were shaking.
"Rox…?" he said carefully, turning Roxas to face him. Roxas was laughing, uncontrollably so. "Roxas…? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Roxas said, slightly chuckling, "it's just we probably ruined their entire festival, and we just poofed right out of there!"
Axel stepped back a bit. "You really are sadistic."
Roxas glared at him. "I'm allowed to laugh for no reason! You're the crazy one!"
Axel laughed. "So I can be. Well, who wants to write that mission report?" he grinned.
"I'll do it," Roxas said, sighing before heading towards his room.
--((time fast forward))--
"There," Roxas said, pulling back from his desk, "one fully embellished mission report completed. Now I just have to—"
"Did you mean it Roxas?" Axel said as he barged in Roxas' door without knocking.
Roxas raised an eyebrow. "Did I mean what?"
"That you wanted to spend more time with me."
Roxas turned slightly pink. "…Yes."
"Good," Axel said, kissing him on the cheek, "because nothing would make me happier. Would you like to watch a movie tonight?" Axel asked warmly.
"Sure," Roxas replied, blushing more. "Let me just finish the last few pieces of this," he turned around to face the report, only to find Axel standing there still. "Did you need something else?"
"I think I do," Axel replied before turning Roxas in his chair to kiss him more fully on the lips. He pulled back, chuckling to himself. "How about we do something after the movie?"
Roxas threw a stapler at him. "Get out, perv, before I change my mind." He laughed as Axel bowed and left.
"Crazy," Roxas muttered before returning to his work.

Haha! I daresay that was IN character! Well, make sure you review! (I listened to Christmas music while I wrote this XD)
And this contest I spoke of. WELL, for my 9/6 oneshot, I have an idea…BUT there is something in these stories that I need to use. And I know you people will find it faster then I can. In ONE of these stories, Demyx calls Zexion Number VI, and I list why. I need to know why. So the first three people to tell me what it is, (I say three because I'm nice XD) will get their story OR a new what if of their liking pushed up to the front of the line. I appreciate it. XD
OOoo you people caught me! It was Paopu Fruit!
"So I have to be you?" Roxas said, sounding as if he tasted something bad.
