~*Sometimes he feels like…*~

Sometimes I wonder why I hang out with you.

You can be so irritating, and you're unpredictable. I once thought you were a hard person to read.

Keyword: Once.

The more I got to know you, the happier I am. You enjoy your status as an enigma in the Organization, and sometimes you get in a competitive mood. I watch you challenge Roxas to duels, and you two always end up getting so into it that I have to break you up. I laugh, secretly assuring you that you would have won to soothe your wounded ego, because no one can beat you, right?

Sometimes you feel lonely, and you come to see me. You won't say anything, and I wait, because I know that you come to see me for a reason. You'll talk in a quiet voice, telling me bits of your past, and I take every word to heart, or whatever it is that passes as my heart, while you pour your soul out to me. I value the trust you have in me, and I would never do anything to shatter it.

Sometimes you get in a nasty mood, I can tell, because your pretty acidic eyes narrow and I do the opposite the others do. I get closer to you, withstanding your aggravated words, because I know deep down inside you're having some sort of problem that you need help with. I'll never forget your facial expression when I hugged you, because I thought it would lighten your day. I was absolutely right, wasn't I?

I laugh, because sometimes you feel like doing the most ridiculous things. You once lit twenty different fireballs to chase each other around the room, and then you forced me to flee down the corridors, smiling and panting, as the fireballs come after me.

I'm never scared of you though, because I know you'd never do a thing to hurt me. I trust you with my life, do you know that? So I'll follow you, or you'll follow me, and we'll have what passes as fun amongst Nobodies.

Did I mention I dislike some members? The girl with the sharp tongue is one of them, and I remember how you scared her off, since you were the only one who could get her to stop anything. Sometimes you get in a heroic mood, and I like you like that, because I think you're a hero, not a villain.

Sometimes you tell me stories, only because you know I like them. I can tell when their made up, the characters are less defined and you pause as you think of what's next, but I like your originals better than the officials. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves have nothing on the Fire Dancer, don't you think?

Sometimes you feel nostalgic, and we'll sit on the clock tower waiting for our friend, staring down at the city below us. Ice cream will fall in slow droplets, and I smile as you purposely maneuver your frozen treat to hit people below. You know what to do whenever I feel sad, and your silly antics make me giggle and shriek with laughter.

Who would have thought I was ticklish?

However…I know when you sometimes feel sad. I comfort you, just leaning against you, because words don't always solve your problems. I once sat awake though out the entire night, saying nothing, just hanging onto your hand. You said my presence was calming once, and I'll do whatever it takes to make you as happy as you make me, because we're the only Nobodies in the Organization that even try a relationship.

I think you like to make me blush, because you'll do or say things that make me nervous. I asked you why, and you only replied it was like teasing a bear, it wouldn't be long before I lashed back.

I was puzzled. He wanted me to snap at him? You laughed, and informed me it would be a very interesting prospect, since I refuse to fight against you.

Of course. I forgot. Sometimes you're up for a challenge, and I was your greatest challenge yet.

We'll have to wait and see if I decide to take you up on that, Axel.

And there we have it, it's over now.* Review!*
