So as he sat there with Arnen at his back Roxas drifted in and out of states of hysterics

So as he sat there with Arnen at his back Roxas drifted in and out of states of hysterics. There wasn't a sound for what seemed like hours so he began to fidget uncontrollably. Then he heard a sigh from the person behind him, strange he'd almost forgotten that he was there.

"What?" He felt Arnen stiffen behind him.

"What do you mean what?"

"What was that sigh for?" Roxas snapped, if Arnen didn't have enough time for him then fine.

"Of all of the fucking places…you really know how to place an argument." The sarcasm was not light on that one and it hit Roxas in the back of the head like a slap.

Roxas tried to turn and yell at Arnen's face but ended up falling on his side. With some more grunts and failed attempts at getting up Roxas lay there on the ground. With a sigh the utter shittyness of the situation seemed to dawn. He was stuck in a cement unfurnished room, which looked a lot like a cell, on the ground next to his ex-enemy who was not on the floor. So yes, things did suck quite a bit. The silence began to settle on the room and Roxas did not like that one bit. Being the inventive and cunning person he was he came up with an idea.

"I blame you for this."

"What?"

"I blame you for this whole situation. I mean it's clearly your fault."

"How the fuck do you figure that!" Arnen swerved so that he was looking down at Roxas who continued along, seemingly unaware of the furious red head.

"Knowing you, you probably pissed someone off or something and then they came to kill you. But of course after you'd broken into my house I was the last one you were with, they must have taken me as a safety measure to make sure your location was kept secret."

"I'm utterly amazed."

"My powers of deduction are quite-"

"No, I'm amazed, at the shit you come up with. I should have known from the beginning only a real shit spinner like yourself could have taken over the business. Good thing I quit when I did."

"Yeah, about that. Um, what the hell!" Roxas yelled that last bit so harshly that his body jerked. "How can you just quit, after everything, after everything."

Arnen was silent then. "I know when I'm beaten."

"What? You weren't beaten."

"I was down for the count Roxas."

"No you clearly weren't, I personally wouldn't know, but you seemed good at your job."

"I wasn't talking about the job." Cue Roxas's turn to lull into a silence. It strung between them until Roxas had to ask.

"What were you talking about?" With a sound that began as a laugh and finished as a sort of sob, Arnen turned his body away.

"Arnen, what were you talking about?"

Again came the sound but it was closer to a scoff this time, "If I…" he laughed that bitter laugh and didn't continue.

"Answer the damn question!"

"You Mr Henry! I was talking about you." The exaggeration on that sentence didn't go astray. "It was always about you don't you understand. It was you I thought about day in and out so much that it became like an obsession. But I somehow rationalised it that it was okay, you know because, no matter how much I thought about you, you were thinking about yourself too, a lot of the time. It's hard, trying to compete for the attention of another person, especially when that person's attention is already captured by themselves."

Roxas was torn between rage and complete and all resounding shock that he didn't respond.

"But you shouldn't worry about me anymore Mr Henry. I won't be bothering you."

"You will be."

Roxas could feel Arnen turn in his place to look at Roxas again. "Didn't you hear me I just said-"

"I heard you Arnen. You may not be there physically but you will still be bothering me. You've always bothered me; I always thought I understood why."

"Oh the hate thing again hm? The fact my mere presence disturbs you, brings such feeling of loathing to you. You know what, fuck you. I didn't think I would actually say this. Hell I didn't want to, I still don't want to but considering the situation calls for it why the fuck not? Fuck you Mr Henry, fuck you Roxas, fuck you." With ever curse he leant closer to Roxas's face as he hissed it.

"I'm sorry." Roxas was surprised his voice had come out at all. The cold things sitting in the corner of his eyelids weren't something he'd planned on. Hell he hadn't even planned on saying anything, but for once maybe that was a good thing.

"Yeah well…what?"

"I'm sorry for being such…a fuck to you. You did nothing to warrant it. No, not even just existing is enough to have such things said and done… " Roxas trailed off not sure where this was going.

"Wow huh?" Roxas assumed he wasn't talking about the over head lighting. "It takes a kidnapping hostage situation for you to realise you were being a dick and to apologise. Gee I'd hate to see what it would take to convince you to apologise if you'd have killed someone."

Trying to ignore what he was saying and taking it like a man, because Roxas knew it was probably less than he would have given in a reversed situation.

"When you were first introduced to the family things had already been going wrong. Mother was sick then and you as an addition; it felt like he was trying to find a replacement for the loss of a family member. Even worse she knew about it. Then as it came around that you were only here as a little competition I just flipped. She really liked you from the start, she was glad you were there. The attention she gave you drove me insane, when she knew what you were. Daniels' didn't do anything to help the problem either. Then all of my anger at mum dying, Daniels being a complete waste of life and a failure as a father, having my life planned out for me was directed at you because you were just there; happy, smiling, always asking me how my day at school was, or my day at work. I couldn't handle it; I didn't know how to react to it."

He took a breath as if to say 'any questions so far?' and continued when he looked over his shoulder at Arnen's face. He was curious and he looked strange, like he was deep in thought but ready to rub parts of this in Roxas's face. Again he probably deserved it, but the knowledge it might happen didn't help. So he continued,

"It became an obsession for me. Routine. It was what I did; it was my little game to make sense of things. When I hated you every bit of my concentration was taken up and I didn't have to focus on my life falling down around me. But then when you quit the business it made me realise how empty things would be without you there. I kept thinking and thinking about you it drove me nuts. It was when I saw one of your hairs on the coffee table that I actually acknowledged the fact that without you, there was a large gaping black void in my life. Bigger than it had been before you'd entered into the family. I tried lasting for a day on my own and it sucked, what sucked more was the realisation was… that… I don't think I can function without you."

Roxas stopped moving, talking, breathing and just froze. Waiting for a reaction without actually being able to see the other person's face had never been so hard. But then at the alternative actually seeing his reaction could have been worse. He heard a large sigh and the slide of cloth on cement before a large mass fell on his side.

"Ah! What are you doing? Get off me!"

"I need some time to process this." Arnen spoke from Roxas's side where he'd laid down.

"But is this really necessary? Arnen?" Arnen only answered after his name had been called.

"Axel."

"What?"

"Call me Axel. If I'm going to forgive or even be civil towards you, you have to get rid of the formalities. Take down some boundaries."

"This isn't-"

"Shh."

"No but I don't-"

"Shh." Roxas 'hmphed' at being shushed

"Axel…" The word felt strange on his tongue but it got the desired reaction.

"Yes?" said Arne-uh Axel quietly.

"I still don't see how this is necessary."

"I need quiet to think, you want me to think about this, don't deny it." He said when Roxas made a 'but' sound "So by the process of my calculations, I need quiet to think and henceforth, ergo, thus, in conclusion…shut up time for you is now."

"God you're more childish than I thought." Roxas groaned and put his head back on the ground.

"Ssh!" With a roll of his eyes Roxas lay on the floor with Axel's head on his side. At some points he thought the man had fallen asleep but then he couldn't be sure. His stomach began to grumble and Roxas remembered he hadn't had lunch. With a sad exhale of breath he imagined food, glorious food and copious amounts of it.

Another hour passed and Roxas was almost completely sure that Axel had fallen asleep. Then he heard the bolts opening and closing and he knew they were in for it.

"Whadda we have here? You fags, you're all the same. Gonna cry to your daddy? We count on it." The voice belonged to a gruff blonde man with a moustache that immediately made Roxas think of a Captain Hook reject.

"Shut up Luxord." This came from a slightly more feminine voice. He stood in the doorway his odd mixture of red and brown hair falling around his shoulders. If he wasn't wearing pants and a very tight black shirt Roxas could have sworn he was a girl. Both men from this angle looked tall, but he couldn't really be sure, it was a hard angle to judge height from.

"Both of you, shut up." This time a man with long blonde hair walked in. His face was set with frown lines and he looked like he was in his early thirties. If he'd lifted his eyebrows out of the constant scowl he could have been attractive. Although from this point it looked like he might have carpal tunnel on his forehead.

"Vex-"

"Quiet! I know you two idiots have already revealed Luxord's name. I will not have mine to be used against me. You know better." He looked pointedly at the brunette, whose eyes narrowed slightly but he didn't frown.

"Now Roxas Henry and Axel Arnen, by now I think you understand what kind of situation you're in and it is not a good one. Both of you should follow our instructions completely and it would be unfortunate for you to try and escape."

"Yeah we might accidentally kill ya!" The man they called Luxord laughed and the two other males frowned.

"We are the organisation. You may or may not have heard of us depending how much your daddy dearest has let slip. We are not too pleased with the way he has gone about running things. We've warned him numerous times, even put threats on his life but he did not care. So we've done the only thing possible to get his attention."

"We took away his two heirs to the business succession he hides behind." A female voice entered the room. Her blonde hair stuck up in odd directions, but it was the eyes he was worried about. Such calculated coldness was hidden behind those blue orbs that he shivered. She looked ordinary and perhaps pretty if he didn't know she could pull the trigger and not notice a thing.

"Hello boys. How are we this evening? Uncomfortable? Oh goody." She walked towards them with a smirk on her face. With a knife in her hand poised facing up, she crouched down to Roxas level. "So tell me…which one of you will scream first?" Suddenly her hand was in the air and then the blade was rushing towards Roxas, he opened his mouth but someone beat him to it.

"Stop!" The woman's blade stopped just inches short of cutting off Roxas's nose. Roxas could see Axel'fs head turned facing him, eyes wide.

With an evil smirk she stood, shooting a glare at the man Luxord who had said "I knew it" and began collecting money. "This will make things much more fun."

"What do you want?"

"You couldn't come up with something more original?" She pouted at Axel.

"Considering the situation I wasn't worrying about being original."

"Well if you won't try," She sighed "neither will I. I cannot tell you what our plan is and so like yeah." She put the last bit in and juggled her blade in her hands, the mock ditzy voice fading away to an evil tremor on the word 'yeah'.

"How long are you planning on keeping us here?"

"As long as it takes Axel." He frowned at her.

"Do I know you?"

"No but I know all about you and your… what… step-brother there. I feel like we are old friends already, although he is kind of quiet. Roxas you still with us hun?" She glared at Roxas on the last word and Roxas just stared at her not moving. "Oh good conscious. Oh and the name you can call out in your nightmares tonight" She smiled "Larxene."

Then the room emptied and the boys were left with the idea of spending a night in the cell.

"That woman scares me."

"Lucky you, I'm terrified." Roxas decided then that he did not want to be on the floor any longer. The two of them rolled around and sat up finally so that they were facing one another with their legs interlocked.

"Why do you think we're here?"

"She's got a bitch about Daniels, we're paying for it. Although they don't seem that organised." Then Axel smirked, Roxas had to take a moment before he realised the smirk was directed at him. His heart fluttered a little, but it was still moving faster than before. Uh oh.

"That's exactly what I thought."

"So we had a similar thought that normally happens. Why are you smiling like that?" Indeed Axel was smiling like he had a marvellous idea; it began to weird Roxas out.

"Do you remember Professor Ansem?"

"Of Ansem Industries, yeah. But his company was foreclosed ages ago, what's he got to do with things?" Axel's arms began to twitch and he was suddenly moving sharply.

"Well…" His shoulder shook, "Ansem Industries was being sponsored by Nomura until Daniels came in. It was the first and only to be cut without financial aid from the sponsorship deal. There were over two hundred people laid off, apparently some of them still hold grudges. But that's not the best part."

"I didn't think this type of discussion had a 'best' part." Axel smiled that smile again and kept talking anyway.

"I've seen the floor plans of the old buildings where Ansem Industries was held; we built over the main factory and a few others but there were some scheduled for demolition that never went through."

"Why?"

"Protestors mostly. The man with the pink, he was there. I'm pretty sure; if not completely certain that this place is one of the old factories. I can get us out of here." Roxas resisted the urge to tackle him to the floor.

"You couldn't have told me this before I confessed to not completely hating you?"

"No, because at that point I didn't have anything that I needed to get myself out for."

"…and you do now?"

Again the smile, but this one reached his eyes and Roxas wondered how many smiled the man had. "Of course. I told you before; it's always been about you."

Roxas shook his head at that and tried to ignore it the best he could. Axel was still looking at him but the smile had gone.

"Look I said I was sorry for being a dick. I know I deserve for you to hate me openly for what I did but I don't think I could not react. Defensively and aggressively." Silence, complete silence mixed with Axel's raised eyebrows and face of surprise. The he was laughing.

"I don't see how this is the time for laughing!" Roxas snapped as the man laughed and laughed.

"I don't…" he chuckled "Weren't you listening when I said I could never hate you?" Roxas furrowed his brow, where was he going with this?

"Oh come on Roxas. It's not like it wasn't obvious." Roxas shrugged and shook his head. "You seriously don't know." Axel's voice dropped. "That does explain some things."

"Okay so tell me then. What don't I know?" Silence then…

"I love you." Okay Roxas was not expecting that one. It showed as he stiffened and forgot to balance falling to the floor hard.

"That was not the reaction I was hoping for but I kind of expected it."

"That was definitely not the answer I was expecting, so I guess we both didn't get what we wanted huh?" Roxas groaned and struggled to sit up again, he managed this time his stomach muscles working into overtime.

"Don't shrug it off like that."

"I wasn't shrugging anything off." Axel's green liquid glass eye stared him down. "This is hardly the time for 'I love you's'"

"I thought because you said that your life didn't 'function' without me that maybe…then again maybe I was completely wrong."

"Look can we just get us out of here? I'm sorry I'm not…I'm a little preoccupied." Roxas frowned at Axel.

Axel sighed and then swung his arms around to the front with the ropes falling off.

"How did you…?"

"What you don't carry a knife in a hidden compartment in your belt in case of a hostage situation?"

"Never really crossed my mind." Axel walked over to undo the ropes on Roxas.

Roxas could feel Axels'f fingers slide down his arms on the way to the rope and bit his lip on the inside. Axel put the cold tip of the blade between the middle sections and in one swift pull ripped it apart. Before Roxas could move his arms were held in place by the rope still wrapped around them and Axel had pulled him back against his chest.

"W-what are you doing?" Roxas looked up and blinked furiously trying to not be embarrassed at meeting Axel's eyes from this angle. His face hovered inches above Roxas and it left Roxas neck stretched. He felt Axel's breath roll down the inside of his cheek and had an image of what it would be like going down the bare stretch of skin. Just holding back a shudder and a fuzzy tingle of something going down his spine Roxas tried to remain calm.

"Just wondering if I should leave you here."

"No." Roxas answered as if it were so obvious, which it uh, actually was.

"Don't worry I didn't think so either." With a small smirk Axel let go and Roxas had just enough time to stop himself from flying backwards.

Roxas got to his feet, the ropes hitting the ground with a soft thud. Axel was now walking around the room knocking on bricks.

"This isn't some Harry Potter film. Those bricks aren't going to magically disappear once knocked on." Axel ignored him and that didn't help Roxas steady simmering anger or the new found butterflies in his chest. Then with a steady knock on a brick near the corner, Axel began cutting through the grout.

"What are you-"

"If you aren't going to help, either keep check on the door or shut up." Roxas frowned and walked over to the door. There were no sounds coming from the other side of the door and just because he was paranoid Roxas searched the room quickly for video cameras. Axel had said this was an old factory so the chances of new age technology were slim to none, but still, he would have said the same thing about getting kidnapped.

Roxas jumped suppressing a squeak. Turning he found Axel pulling at the other bricks through the gap, they fell onto the floor with heavy slaps. Eventually there was a hole big enough for them to squeeze through. Roxas had to immediately squish the excitement in his chest when he heard footsteps coming towards the door.

"Axel!" Roxas's whisper made the red haired man jump. Running over to him, Axel pushed Roxas towards the hole.

"You go in first. Go straight ahead and then when you get to the overhead vent, climb up."

"But-" Roxas held onto Axel and looked at him straight in the eyes. The stood for a moment just looking at each other before Axel leant forward,

"Shh" he whispered. Roxas was then manhandled into the hole with some grunting and he crawled. "I'm right behind you."

Roxas hurried along the shaft and upon hearing Axel enter the shaft he felt slightly better. Then the voices came. They shouted and cursed and he heard Axel give a cry of surprise. He heard a loud bang as a body was thrown into a side of the shaft, Axel grunted in response.

"Come over here you fuck!" The man Luxord was grabbing at Axel who was kicking and squirming away. Luxord was relentless he had a hand on Axel's leg and was dragging him towards himself. Roxas stopped watching it all and then started crawling back to Axel to help.

"Roxas keep going!" Axel shot a kick that hit Luxord straight in the face. The man stumbled disoriented but he held on. "If you don't keep going, I will hate you. Go." Roxas opened his mouth to protest but turned quickly when Axel stopped looking.

So Roxas crawled until the grunts of the struggle were only dull vibrations in the metal. Roxas stopped then as the bright sun came through the slitted vent above him. Turning he looked down the tunnel but he couldn't see anything but darkness. There was a squeak and Roxas spun on the pads of his feet to face the other way. Again there was only darkness. His heart beat steadily faster and the clenched fists he had were beginning to hurt.

"Where the fuck are you Axel?" He whispered to no one in particular. With his face buried in his hands Roxas tried to get his mind set. He should climb up and get out, he could call the police and they would rescue Axel. But he couldn't just leave him here like that. Roxas didn't want to go up alone, what if there were more turns he had to take but got lost anyway. This all would be in vain then. So he waited. For what felt like hours he waited, curled into that crouched ball. That was when he felt it, the steady rush of hot air on his neck. In and out.

Roxas jerked away but a hand held him in place and kept the scream at bay. What worked best was seeing the red spikes and green eyes, what was worse was the all knowing smile on his face.

"You waited." Axel whispered, he moved his hand to slide down Roxas's face to his shoulder. Roxas tried not to think about it. It was hard to concentrate on things when that warm weight pressed on his shoulder.

"Yeah, well I could have gotten more lost." Axel moved past him, and went to crouch under the ladder. Then Roxas saw it.

"What happened?"

"Oh this? Luxord was wearing a ring." There was blood running down his cheek and a possible bruise forming just above his eye. Roxas didn't want to think about where else Axel could have been injured. "Don't worry, he looks much worse." With that Axel climbed up and out into the sun, Roxas followed shortly after. They managed to get out of the building and onto a bus of all places. Roxas unwilling admitted he had some coins tucked in his shoes for just an occasion. The bus took them back to school where they proceeded to inform the authorities. Roxas and Axel were both questioned, Axel even more so because he was injured. As they sat in the office before the Dean's Axel and Roxas didn't move or talk. Axel had been patched up thanks to the nurse and the police had captured Luxord and the blonde male. Apparently Larxene and the pink haired one had taken off when the police arrived without informing the other two. They were now driving across the country with a police tail. Roxas had the vague idea they might end up like Thelma and Louise, then again he just wanted them in jail.

The Dean's door opened and out walked Mr Daniels, the Dean called Axel in and Roxas watched him go. Daniels turned to him, "Let's go son."

"What about Axel?" Daniels walked to the door and opened it.

"He can handle himself." If the look on Daniels face was that of pride Roxas couldn't have picked it. He looked disappointed, angry, the face someone would disown a child with. Roxas looked back at the door to the Dean's office. What would actually happen if he stayed here? God knows there was stuff that Roxas needed to think over and he wasn't sure that spending so much time after an incident like this with Axel wouldn't make him too dependant. So with a nod he turned and followed a smug Daniels out of the room.

He went home that afternoon, Daniels talked on and on but Roxas didn't listen. He kept imagining what Axels' face would look like when he came out and Roxas wasn't there. Then his brain would flick images of his face when he said 'I love you' and Roxas couldn't help but feel slightly empty. When he arrived home Kairi was there waiting for him. She said she was meeting a friend in the city so she wanted to stop by and check up on him. Apparently Daniels hadn't allowed for the story to be publicised, all in all that was probably a good thing. As soon as they sat down on the couch Roxas let out a long sigh.

"What's wrong?" He looked at Kairi.

"I was kidnapped today by some people who had a vengeance against Daniels. The guy who I thought I hated turns out to be the guy I not-so hate. He told me when we were tied up in this cell that he loved me. I'm trying to figure out where my life started taking turns without me knowing. And, I'm thinking the not-so hate is closer to possibly might actually like if I gave him a chance."

Kairi didn't answer for some time, her mouth flopped open that much was for certain.

"Tough day huh?" Roxas then, laughed. He couldn't help it, he laughed and laughed. The laughing was most probably some form of hysteria but it began to drain away the tension he had and left him tired.

"Yeah I guess you could say that." Kairi looked at him.

"The guy. The not so hated one. It's Axel isn't it?"

"You know him?" Roxas looked at him.

"He lives across the hall from you, he's your step…well Daniels has probably disowned him by now, he's your constant obsession as you are his. It's kinda hard to not know him me being your female best friend. That and Axel and I have a few classes together, we're friends, we talk, about you mostly."

"What?"

Kairi slumped back on her chair. "To think you left him by himself all alone at a time like this. That's quite pathetic, no not pathetic, disgusting. Criminal even. Malicious…" Kairi stopped as she noticed she was the only one in the room. Letting out a small smile she reclined on the chair "I am so good."

Roxas was currently running down to his car. He didn't care about the spray paint anymore, some of the drivers did on the road but that could have just been him over taking them without their permission. He pulled up in the car park outside the university and ran into the Dean's office as fast as possible. The lady at the desk told him Axel had gone home. With quick thanks he ran back to his car and drove like a maniac the whole way back to the apartment blocks. It was amazing he didn't get booked for speeding and endangering the public but he could be amazed about that later. Roxas took the stair because the elevator was taking too long. By the time he reached the fourth floor, Roxas was nearly having a heart attack on the stairs. Making a mental note to do more exercise he ran into the hallway. Roxas sprinted towards Axel's door, stood for a moment bent over catching his breath before he knocked. No answer. He knocked again and called out. No answer. With a tired, frustrated and sad groan he slid down the door to the floor.

"Roxas?" Roxas nearly jumped up and decked the man standing before him. The doors of the elevators slid closed, and Roxas now knew why he had to run up the stairs.

Holding up a hand, Roxas took in some deep breaths before struggling to stand up. Axel helped him.

"When you said you loved me, what did you mean?"

"What?"

Roxas took in a deep breath and cursing his lack of athleticism pushed aside the tiredness.

"When said you loved me. What did you mean?"

"There is only one way to mean it Roxas."

"Just for the sake of it, tell me exactly what you meant." Axel closed his eyes and rolled his head on his neck. A distraction maybe or maybe he was actually stretching.

"I love you Roxas. I've loved you since we started grade eleven together. I've loved you through your hatred of me. Most nights I've dreamt that you loved me back. As in love Roxas. Not the brotherly kind, the real, be-all end-all one. I don't know how else to explain it without me sounding like a crazy stalker."

Roxas didn't say anything for some time as the red head'sf words washed over him. He didn't think before he was walking slowly towards Axel. He had no idea what he was going to do and for once Roxas thought that it might be a good thing.

"Good, just checking." Then he leant up and taking Axel's face between his hands, he kissed him. After the initial kiss Roxas froze and when his eyes focused he looked at Axel, who was as equally as confused.

"What…" Axel's voice was quiet just like Roxas's,

"I don't know…"

"Okay as long as you're confused too." Axel leant down then and kissed him again. He gathered Roxas into his arms and Roxas didn't resist…much. They stood there letting their lips press against one another before Axel began to deepen the kiss. Roxas pulled back, trying to focus his eyes and spoke.

"Does this mean…"

"No you're still confused. Shh" With that Axel was smiling as he leant in to kiss Roxas again. Roxas felt slightly annoyed that Axel was being slow and condescending. So he turned the man and threw him up against the wall, kissing him hard and fast. Axel struggled to keep up, whether from surprise or genuinely being stunned. When Roxas pulled back Axel was breathing heavily and he smirked. Remembering something about the position, Roxas thought back to the night he'd found out Axel was gay. Axel looked like he might know what Roxas was thinking and he swallowed.

"We will talk later. After we sort out this confusion of course." With a grin he leant forward and kissed Axel slowly again.

"Right, after the confusion is sorted." They kissed and fumbled their way through the door, through to the bedroom, where they collapsed in a heap of limbs.

The following weeks were spent finding out things about each other that they hadn't had time for before. Roxas took time off work and Daniels wasn't pleased. So then Roxas quit. He wasn't really interested in the business to begin with anyway. Neither was Axel, he'd only continued to work there so he could see Roxas as it turned out.

Roxas learnt that Axel knew how to play the guitar and had won an award for public speaking in high school. Axel learnt that Roxas didn't really like ties or suits and loved to cook but never had time for it. Roxas learnt that Axel wanted to be an architect and had been studying it along with business. Axel learnt that Roxas had no idea now what he wanted to do but was more than happy to move into the new apartment they'd bought together, free from Daniels. Roxas learnt that Axel had ticklish spots behind his ears, and when they made love the underside of his upper arms were very sensitive. Axel learnt that Roxas was deep down a romantic, so he went out of his way to lure him with games into the bedroom. More than anything, Roxas learnt that the hate he'd initially had for Axel was nothing more then pent up frustration at him. Of course the red head did annoy the hell out of him at times and they got into fights over stupid things but Roxas wouldn't hold grudges. Because he wasn't confused, he loved Axel too.
