A/N: Halo!!! Thanx for all the reviews!!!

Axel's POV

Well. That was unexpected.

Huh? Oh the kiss? Yeah that too. But what I'm talking about happened about two seconds after. And it consisted of Sora literally flying through my door, dragging Riku behind him.

"ROXAS ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!?!?!?!" He tackled Roxas off my lap and onto the ground, barely missing me.

"Uh…"

"Don't even try Axel. I've been for the past two hours. And that was after he woke up from running into a damn wall."

"Well he's your boyfriend." That shut him up quick. And he was blushing too. I smirked and looked back to the ball of midgets on my floor.

"I'm alright Sora…" I saw a pair of pleading blue eyes looked up from the ground.

"Alright, up we go." I pulled Sora vertically off the ground and tossed him to his still reddened boyfriend. I gave my hand out to Roxas who took it and quickly righted himself.

"See Sora? I'm alright." He tried for a weak smile, which I could tell Sora (who was hanging awkwardly in Riku's arms) did not buy. Not at all.

I pulled my blonde to my side and sent Sora my own look. The poor kid looked from me to his cousin about twenty times before…his face split into a huge smile. And then he blushed like crazy, finally looking like someone who just interrupted something…

"Uh…should we go?" Roxas nodded, slowly, this time smiling brightly.

"Oh and Sor?...Thanks." Sora just nodded, smiling fondly and dragged Riku away again. "Well…that was…interesting…"

"Oh Rox…I know this probably isn't a good time but…your mom called…" A hand over my mouth again (kid does that a lot doesn't he?)

"Could you help me with something? Please?" I looked at the blonde, still clutched at me side.

"Do you even have to ask hun?"

Roxas' POV

Shit. Kill. Me. Now.

I looked up at the sign over the one building I did not want to be at. The hand I held tightened, reminding me that hell if anything happened the building would probably finally be destroyed. (I can't confirm it but I get the feeling Axel is either a pyro or just violent with little things. Nothing he did tipped me off he just…fits the personality of a pyro…)

"Hun, you sure about this?" I nodded and started walking. If I gave up now, I'd never be able to do it.

Just say two little words. Not that hard right? I think learning how to fly would be ever so slightly easier…but that's just me.

When we got through the doors, the cold air was the first thing to hit me. Didn't matter what season it was or how cold it was outside, that damn air conditioner was always blowing. The one thing I regret (if this works and besides not doing it earlier…) is not taking a hammer to that thing.

I stopped a passing attendant who instantly recognized me. "Mr. Sutori, you're late. Ms. Sutori is not happy." He looked frightened. Hell, everyone's frightened when Ms. Sutori is mad.

"Tell her I'm here." He nodded and scurried off.

Said evil lady was out of the back room sin a flash.

You know what's weird? This is the first time I've ever noticed how she must look to other people. Long blonde hair, tall (figures right?), long, shapely legs, heart shaped face. She was a beauty. But her eyes were the faded green of the one thing she loved. Money.

"Roxas! Where the hell have you been?! Two companies have already dropped their of…" She turned her stare to Axel. And then proceeded to shoot venom from her eyes. Said red head (MY red head by the way) glared right back.

"Come on Roxas, leave the dirt at the door." I lightly pushed against Axel who had taken a step forward. He looked down at me, his features instantly softening. Is it cliché to say my heart sped up? Oh well…it did.

"Mo..Ms. Sutori. I didn't come here to work." I turned back to her. She was now glaring at me, practically daring me to say anything further. "Sin…since I'm app...apparently not worthy of call…calling you mother" my voice was getting stronger, "I came here to tell you one thing." I took a deep breath, taking comfort from the arm around my shoulder. "I. Quit."

Oh. God. That felt good. And the fact that her face was that of one who just had their world crash down around them (probably like mine a few hours, or a day, ago). I smiled at the woman who had destroyed my life. "Goodbye."

She sank to her knees as we walked out. I could just barely make out the stream of 'no'-s coming from her. She can deal with it. She can find another toy.

The second we were outside, Axel pulled me into a hug. I wrapped my arms around his waist, fully savoring the feeling of him surrounding me. Inside me, the withered husk I had forgotten the name of, was beating strong and fast. It felt so damn good. I didn't want it to end.

"Roxas? I know I've already said it but…last time was kind of an accident so…" I felt him take a deep breath. "I love you." I smiled and looked up at the blushing red head. How the hell had I survived without him?

"You're blushing again." I laughed as he sputtered, clearly at a loss. "I love you too." The blush disappeared, replaced by a look that simply screamed happiness. He was beautiful, and he was mine (wow…that sounded possessive…oops) The way he looked at me…I knew everything would be alright. I knew I was finally safe.
