Grrrrr....i feel like this one isn't good enough but let's see how it does.

Masquerade of Light

Part 3

After we're both full, Axel leads me upstairs. "It's only a two bedroom house and Larxene is using the guest room so you can sleep here and I'll take the couch."

I shake my head, "No…I mean I can't kick you out of your room." I flash a smile, "I don't mind sharing."

Axel snickers as he walks to his dresser. "Okay I'll stay."

My host pulls out two pairs of pajamas. He hands me one of them.

"They're kind of small on me but I'm sure that they'll still be enormous on you."

I grin and hop over to the bathroom, "Its okay, I don't mind at all."

I yank my jeans and shirt off only to pull on flannel pants and a way to big shirt. Walking out my eyes trail over Axel, his shirt in hand.

The red-head chuckles, "My bad, I guess I gave you the wrong shirt."

Axel motions for me to lift my arms, and I do, reluctantly.

He pulls the shirt off and slides the other back on, "It gets chilly at night."

With a grin Axel ruffles my hair. In response I swat his hand away before diving onto the bed. Curling up in the sheets I breathe in deep.

No wonder Roxas liked him so much…he's perfect.

"I'll be right back. I'm going to make sure everything's locked up."

After that I feel myself drowsing off before I completely fall asleep.

The next morning I roll over to find no one beside me. At first I panic and think about screaming. But I change my mind when I catch wind of the yelling downstairs.

Eager to make sure Axel's okay, I rush through the door, nearly tripping over the overlapping legs of the pajamas.

Larxene glowers at Axel, "How could you? Don't you care about my feelings?"

He nods, "Of course I do!"

"Then why did you share a bed with that brat? You won't even let me in your room. Oh and don't even try and tell me that it was just friendly because I saw the way you were looking at him!"

Larxene slaps Axel across the face. That's when I snap and my mask finally shatters completely.

"Stay away from him you witch!"

Her venomous sneer shifts to me, "Or what Sora?"

"Or I'll thrash you like I did in Castle Oblivion!"

Larxene snickers, "That's a laugh. You can't because you don't have a Keyblade remember. Oh wait you don't since you refuse to!"

I scowl at her, "What makes you think that?"

I open my right hand where it lies at my side. A breeze flushes over me and I glare back at her.

"What were you saying?" I split my Keyblade into Oblivion and Oathkeeper, pointing them at her. "You have a week to get out, like it or not."

Larxene's façade melts, "Don't worry I'll be out by the end of today." She stomps upstairs and begins packing.

Axel strides over to me as my blades vanish. I grin up at him, "I love you Axel. I'm sorry I didn't see it sooner."

My love falls to his knees and embraces me, "It's okay Sora. I'm just glad I've got you back."

It's been a year since I got rid of Larxene and a month since Axel proposed to me.

Lying in his arms on the couch, we rest in bliss. Even when the doorbell rings the paradise doesn't end. Axel moves out from under me, silently letting me know that he'll get it.

"Sora…it's for you."

I stride happily over to the door and fear washes over me.

Both Riku and Kairi stand on our doorstep.

Riku raises an eyebrow, "Sora what are you doing here? We've been looking all over for you."

"Yeah, we ran into Demyx and Zexion on one of their dates and learned you where here. Why with Axel? Don't you want to come home?" she asks.

I shake my head, "Nope! I love both of you but Axel and I are engaged and…I'm not leaving him now that I found him."

Riku nods, "I understand Sora. I'm just glad that you're finally happy."

My two friends walk away but not forever. Axel wraps his arms around my waist.

"I'm proud of you!"

I turn around in his grasp and place a soft kiss on his lips. "Me too."
