Holidays, sweet Christmas Holidays, here I come ! Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well in this Friday ! Let's go for tenderness, a theme full of fluff and cuteness because I really wanted to write this kind of things about this trio ! I love them so much and 358/2 Days broke my heart, litteraly ! ... Does that mean I'm a nobody now ? Sorry, I need to send my CV to Xemnas ! Hope you will like this one !
Tomorow, the theme will be Gathering, if my english is still correct ! Any idea ?
"You are too soft with them, Axel. They will never learn.
"Me, soft? What are you saying, Saïx? That I have a heart! Don't make me laugh!"
"Axel, you know exactly what I mean. You always break the back of their work, you always protect them. We need warriors, not good for nothing who need to be babysat!"
"Cool down, buddy, they're not like that. Xion and Roxas are strong!"
"Don't call me that. Anyway, you three have a mission. There's the description, they should be waiting for you in the hall!"
"On my way, party-pooper!" Sighed the red-head as he ran away.
His ex-best friend had his way to ruin his mood. Yet, he only had to see his two buddies, Roxas and Xion, to bring the smile back on his face. The Organization rookies always cheered him up, even when they didn't do anything, and that felt good.
"There you are, Axel. We've been waiting, you know?" Roxas pretended to scold him.
"My bad, but we couldn't be leaving without knowing the mission, and here it is!"

"The mission will be nicer with the three of us!" nodded Roxas.
The mission was indeed easier with the three of them. They were in Twilight Town, where the job was set up in. The creature wasn't too hard to find and to destroy, the team worked well together. They took benefit of their time to train and perfect their techniques. The redhead was proud of his protégés, in the way of a brother. He wasn't supposed to feel anything, but he enjoyed that. Could a nobody feel this pride?
As the sun started to set, they bought ice-creams and went to their favourite place, the top of the clock tower. It was their rendez-vous point after every mission, a moment just for them, without the Organization butting in.
"You are too soft with them, Axel. They will never learn."
Saïx's words came back to his mind, and he wondered if that was true. As he looked at Roxas and Xion laughing, he knew he wasn't the wrong one. What harm was he doing? Even without feelings, wasn't avoiding suffering the best thing to do? The number seven wasn't that much of a big part of his life anymore, and Axel had found his two best friends. A Nobody being tender was hard to come by, and in theory was impossible, and yet….
