Title: Thirty Minutes

Author: Digimon Empress Yaten (de yaten)

Notes: This is the product of me not taking prompts seriously and taking what I'm sure was supposed to be a sad fic about Axel's death to… this. The prompt was "fade to black." Yep, it's short. Reviews are awesome and make me go :D.

Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts or its characters. I don't claim to own them.

Roxas sighed. He had been ordered to clear a World of the various Heartless plaguing it and decided to bring Axel along, in case he finished early and needed some entertainment. Unfortunately, Axel seemed to be in a boring mood and could offer no suggestion other than to grab something to eat and sit in one of the World's many gardens after the Nobody Keyblade Master had finished his job.

Oh well, Roxas thought, watching Axel lick the remains of a mystery meat-and-mustard sandwich from his fingers. At least the view was nice.

Minutes passed, and the younger Nobody was finally unable to take the stretching silence between them any longer.

"How did you get your hair like that?"

Axel flickered flames from the tips of his gloved fingers absentmindedly. "Hm?"

"Your hair—I mean…" Roxas sighed, and pushed some of his own blonde locks away from his forehead. "Ahh—nevermind, it's nothing."

Axel quirked an eyebrow. "No, wait—what about my hair?"

"Well it's…" Roxas reached out a gloved hand and stroked the older Nobody's hair, ignoring the lopsided smirk growing on Axel's face. "red, but it's black on the bottom, like you have black roots." He looked at Axel questioningly. "Are you even a natural redhead? Or do you just dye it?"

The chakram wielder grabbed Roxas hand and guided it towards his mouth, nipping the tips of the dusty gloved fingers. "Why? You wanna find out, blondie?"

Roxas rolled his eyes and considered giving Axel a good smack with a Keyblade, but they were suspicious enough in this World without having one of them suddenly summon a magical, sparkling weapon and beat the other with it.

The blonde jerked his hand away from Axel's grip and grinned.

"Sorry, Axel." He tsked and watched his partner's face go from absolutely seductive to the pout of a five-year old. "You know that you have to wait at least thirty minutes after eating before you can have sex.""
