New chapter! :D
The snow was falling lightly to the ground. Roxas woke up with Axel’s arms wrapped around his stomach. Axel was snoring a little bit but not enough to annoy his best friend.
Roxas slipped away from Axel’s embrace and went downstairs, plopping down on his couch. The TV had a man in strange red clothing, looking plump with a white beard.
Axel finally came downstairs and smiled at the man on the TV. Roxas looked strangely at his best friend, wondering what he knew. Axel poked at his usual dumbfound expression and chuckled.
“Who is that on the TV?” Roxas pointed to the television set. “Do you know anything about him?”
“Everyone knows about Santa Claus. He gives good boys and girls christmas presents on the night of Christmas eve.” Axel explained. “He comes down a chimney too and flies with a sleigh pulled by eight reindeer.”
“That sounds so cool!” Roxas’s face lit up. “Is there anyway we can go see him?” He smiled.
“Yeah um… they have a Santa at that department store we were at yesterday.” He looked at the clock. “If we hurry, I bet we can be the first ones in line.”
“Okay.”
Roxas and Axel bundled up and ran towards the store. The two were lucky enough to be first in line. Roxas had never felt this excited about Christmas before.
“Do you know what you want to ask Santa for?” Axel asked, breaking the silence between the two of them.
“I’m not really sure. What are you going to ask him for?” He looked up at his friend.
“That’s a secret I’m entitled to keeping.” He tapped his finger against Roxas’s nose. “I love your enthusiasm though. It looks like you’re finally getting Christmas.”
Axel let Roxas go ahead of him to see Santa. Roxas sat dumbfounded on his big lap and blushed. Axel couldn’t help chuckle at his first time meeting the big guy.
“I’m not really sure what I want for Christmas.” He finally said. “I guess… in a way if I really had to make up my mind… it would be to fully understand what my heart is telling me.”
“Hm… that’s a pretty big wish, young man.” He rubbed his white beard. “I’ll have to see what I can do.”
Roxas smiled and climbed off his lap, waiting for Axel to get up there. Axel had done it like a pro, as if he had done it before. Roxas couldn’t hear what he was whispering into Santa’s ear.
Axel blushed when he pointed to Roxas, who could only stand blankly back. Roxas had no idea what was going on. Axel smiled and took Roxas around the store.
“Why are you so quiet now?” Roxas looked up at him. “It’s not like you to act this way, you know.”
“Sorry… I can’t really tell you what I told Santa. At least not right now, its just something that I know you wouldn’t get.” He sighed as he patted his best friend’s back.
“If it bothers you, don’t you think you should say something?” He hated seeing the sad expression. “Best friends don’t keep things from each other.”
“This is different. Besides, it doesn’t bother me, don’t worry…” Axel gave Roxas a fake smile. “Do you still want to get something for Sora and Riku?”
“Uh… sure.” He shrugged. “We could also get something for Demyx, Marluxia and Larxene.”
“We’ll have to buy more Christmas paper.” He was finally himself again. “Oh! You and I should make cookies too! We can do it together!”
“Okay… sure, I guess.” He was blushing when Axel had said that. “Are you talking about making Christmas cookies?”
“Obviously.” He laughed at Roxas. “Geez, Roxas… you have to think about these things before you ask questions.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Roxas scowled. “You make it sound like it’s a bad thing.”
“Actually… I think it’s cute.” He moved his lips towards Roxas’s and frowned. “I don’t think you’d understand.” Axel blushed as he hesitated.
“You’re not making any sense, Axel.” He looked up at the sad expression in his face again. “Can’t you tell me what’s on your mind?”
“You’re not ready to hear it.” He poked around the toy section and noticed a toy RC car for a test run. “Roxas look! This is what I meant by an RC car yesterday.”
Axel showed him the controls and how they worked. Roxas’s face lit up with joy as he couldn’t put it down. Axel loved the look on his face and couldn’t help smile.
“This is so much fun!” Roxas grinned as he continued to drive the car around. “I think I’m getting the hang of it.”
Axel placed his hands on Roxas’s hands and helped him steer. Roxas blushed as his best friend was able to do a better job. Axel snickered and let him control it again.
“You should get me one of these for Christmas.” He grinned. “They would be so much fun to play with.”
“If you’re good.” He smiled and stole a kiss from Roxas’s cheek. “Do you think you can be good?” Axel placed his arms around him.
“Y-Yeah… I’m always good, aren’t I?” He looked into Axel’s sea green eyes and started to blush. “What do you think you’re doing?”
Axel smiled as he ruffled with Roxas’s hair. Roxas groaned and pulled away from his friend’s awkward embrace. Axel seemed to chuckle and watched him play.
To be continued…
I found out Chuck is also a writer... aside from being a voice actor. So he's become my new mentor... EXCEPT HE DOESN'T KNOW IT YET. But I figure, he's probably more pro at it then me, which is probably the best reason for me to consider him as a mentor. <3
