He decides to take some time out to get them presents. Axel goes to the mall right after school. None of the girls go there when it's during the week. The bright lights and loads of people put him on edge. Axel hates crowds. So far he hasn't seen people he knows. He thinks about what to get each girl. It has to be a good enough gift that they won't complain about him being cheap, but it has to be obscure enough that neither would know that it was from him.

Namine might be the easiest to buy for. She's never expressed interest in anything except for her artwork. Kairi loves everything pink. Xion seems dark and gloomy.

"Having trouble?" a startling familiar voice comes from behind. Axel doesn't have to turn around to see who it is. Larxene moves from behind him to beside him and places her hands on her hips. He grits his teeth and stifles a growl.

"Why are you following me?" he demands. He doesn't like Larxene at all. She's suddenly in the way and shows up out of nowhere. What's her problem.

"Following you? Don't flatter yourself!" she's definitely amused. She seems to feed off of his anger. Is she getting thrills from making him on edge? Her eyes might be telling him something, but he can't read the message. He knows she's up to something. But before he can call her out she's already walking away from him into the crowd.

He ends up finding what he's looking for and goes home. He decides to give them their gifts a day apart, they'll like it then and not be so suspicious.

The next day he gives Xion her gift. She loves it so much her eyes well up in tears. Axel wants to tell her to not cry, but doesn't. It makes him uncomfortable to see her like that. Why is she like that? He gives her a hug, maybe that will make her stop crying. It does. After that he takes his payment. They're in a back alley where no one can see them. Axel pulls her shirt up over her breasts and pulls up her skirt around her waist. She immediately complies. No words follow between them.

He loves her tight wetness, feeling her nipples getting hard as he pinches them. It only takes 10 minutes or so before he blows his load inside her. He's done. Xion straightens out her clothes and signals she has to go and scurries of around the corner. He smiles to himself, satisfied that one girl is satiated. Two more to go. He pulls out another cigarette and lights it. But before he can inhale it, his eyes catch sight of something so horrifying he drops it. Larxene is on the fire escape to his left and she's smirking at him. She's been there the whole time.

...

Fuck.That is the absolute only word that goes through his mind. He can't run away. He can't do anything. She's right there looking at him with a pleased expression on her face.

"Well well well," she says dully as she climbs down the escape, "I hope you last longer than that in bed. Imagine what she'd say about you if you came like that," she shakes her head and laughs as she saunters up to him. Her legs are kind of long and almost completely exposed by her barely there skirt.

"What do you want?" Axel asks immediately. He's ready to bargain if he has to. He has to cover his tracks somehow and he'll do anything it takes to get this girl to shut up for him. Larxene ignores him for a moment and studies him from head to toe. She likes what she sees. She licks her non-painted lips and cracks a small mischievous smile she knows exactly what she wants.

"All I want, is you," she says simply in a sing song voice. "I've seen you for a while and...well...how can I say this?" she taps a finger to her lips. "You're my type and I want what you've got to offer." Axel thinks carefully about what she's saying. Does she only want sex from him? If that's the case, he'll grant it easily.

"Is that all?" he asks warily, he knows he can't trust her. But she's offering him a chance to buy her silence. What else is she planning.

"Well, that's pretty much it. I want your number so I can have you on call, but other than that, not much else." Larxene pulls her phone out of her waistband and opens it. He slowly reads off the digits and she enters them in, clamping her phone shut. As if on a second thought she pulls him in for a kiss and bites his lip. She pulls away and begins to walk off.

"See you later." she croons.
