Chapter: 10

Title: Wonderwall

Disclaimer: I do not own KH

We laid there for a little while and talked about conspiracies about governments, aliens amongst others, and all he did was fuel my paranoia towards them.

"You know, I watched this video where this guy had apparently started an organisation, and was cloning people just to kill this one person. They were interviewing some guard from the facility that the psycho was doing it, and apparently some had gotten out and now live amongst us." My stomach felt cold and a flush of heat took over. He was making me anxious. I sat up and punched his arm.

"Stop! It nearly dark, shouldn't we be going soon?" Axel sat up too and agreed. We packed up and put our rubbish in the bin and drove towards home.

"So what are we doing when we get back?" The air was still in the car and kinda hurt my ears, the clicking of our seats belts and the sharpness to Axel's breath proved it.

"So you do what to hang around?" He smirked like earlier today and started the car. The radio was low and it was starting to get colder very quickly. I was left to my thoughts and I appreciated that, but despised him for allowing me to. Everything was confusing, mum and dad told me gays were sick in the head; a disease was taking over their mind and corrupting them to the core. Axel didn't seem corrupted, except for his same views on some conspiracies. Maybe I'm gay too then? Maybe my core is corrupted too? I made a note to ask Axel what his thoughts where on it. Dad told me that that group of people infected others with their 'disease' and that's why they exist. I'm starting to think that they've both been lying to me. I don't feel sick and all the people I've been introduced to have liked people of the same gender?

"Axel," I near on whispered.

"Yes Roxy?"

I didn't know how to word it… I didn't know what to even say in the first place? So why did I even open my mouth? We then drove past a park and I had the erg to swing in the crisp winter air.

"What to go to the park for a little while?" I almost pleaded but it was my mouth on auto piolet and it had teamed up with my brain; I needed to get out of the car, it was becoming too stuffy and thick.

"That does sound fun, I didn't think you'd have a childish kinda side." I really loved his smile.

The swing rocked a little from me letting my toes move on the ground from my body weight. My head was just swarming with questions… They all just shot past each other and caused a traffic jam in my head. In my frustration, I leant back as far as I could with my hands still holding on and closed my eyes, letting myself rock a little faster. The cold air was filling my lungs and felt as though they had expanded 10 times more. Fresh air, I really needed it.

"Hey there kiddo." Axel's upside down face appeared in front of me when I opened my eyes. He always seems to be smiling. I wonder why?
"Hello." I chuckled and honestly I was feeling better.

"Death stick?" He handed me a cigarette and pulled out the butts and papers to roll his.

"You do know you can steal one of mine because I'm pretty sure you bought me this carton." Reaching for my cigarette, I placed it in his mouth and my hand lingered a little longer than it should have and he had nuzzled his cheek into my hand. "How are you so warm?" The erg to rub my face on his was great so I sat up properly on the swing and turned around so I was facing him and patted the swing next to me. As he got up he handed the pack of cigarettes and I lit mine as he did. The cold air mixed with the mintiness was refreshing and I felt almost as good as I had at the beach.

"I always loved starts," Axel broke the silence, making me look up as well. "I always thought the stars where much more than suns." He sounded different than he had today.

"Like they were little worlds out there." I paused wondering why I was suddenly getting personal. "Worlds better than this one…" My voice trailed off and a shooting star disappeared as soon as I had spotted it.

"You're a lot different to your family, aren't you." It wasn't really a question, more a statement because we both knew the answer.

"They seem to judge too quickly and I don't understand why. If I was like them, I would have never spoke to Xion, Naminé, Demyx, Olette… or you." And that really saddened me. "Axel?"

"Yea? You won't leave will you?" I almost didn't want to ask but my mouth continued. "Or forget me..?"

He stood up and was in front of me looking a little disheartened at my question.

"So long as you don't forget me. Axel. A-X-E-L. Got it memorized?"

I giggled a little at the childlike way he had worded it, but he didn't look like he was joking so I just stood up and moved towards him… and hugged him. Smoke was swirling around up and then swept away by a breeze and I watched Axel shudder. Remembering what he had done for my earlier, I took the scarf from around my neck and wrapped it around him and with the ends of it pulled him down to me. Because he was taller than me, I had to stand on my tippy toes and I kissed him. I was sober and I wanted to. Honestly… I wasn't feeling like myself anymore. Within a week this giant had pulled a side out me that had been hiding in the corners of my soul and I didn't know existed. It was as scary anymore, that feeling had almost completely vanished and excitement was taking over. My parents always complained when I said I didn't have a crush on any of the girls in my class, and forced me on arranged play dates. Did they know before I did?

One of Axels hand was cupping my face and the other cradled my back as both my arms had wrapped around his neck while I was arching into him. I was first to pull away but I only drifted a little from him while my face heated up despite the cold.

"I don't think I'm confused anymore." His eyes were looking through me and I had a feeling he knew.

"Didn't I tell you I was amazing?"
