♡NOTES: Friends!! : D

It could be heavily expected from the young blond that if anyone were to ask him to give them a place to stay, he would be more than willing to give it to them. He was a kind and gentle spirit, one that was happy to help in any place he could. Roxas exhibited this fact about his person in a number of ways, and he displayed it quite well in the eyes of Hikari, his newer friend that he had decided to bring her back to his home. It wasn't the nicest of places, but it was a roof over the head and a place to sleep at night, as well as shielding from cold and heat; it was a place that housed so many bad memories, but also had founded quite a few good ones. 

Roxas was planning to outweigh the bad with the good, and he would enjoy it immensely - as long as he was able to keep bringing in new faces and give them a smile, he figured that everything he had gone through was worth it. 

"This place is big and kind of empty, but.. The beds are pretty comfy." Roxas gave a kind shrug, looking back toward the young girl behind him. His smile was a bit sheepish, but it wasn't too unsure. The blond boy turned his gaze back forward, azure depths gazing into the black nothingness that they called the sky looming above the Castle that Never Was. The Gray Room was always a bit of a dreary place, but Roxas had to admit that it was one of the few things that he was actually familiar with. When he was brought into existence, this was the place that he was initially brought to. It was the meaning of "home" at the time... Crazy how things changed since then. 

"Oh! You need to meet Axel!" Roxas suddenly chirped, grinning from ear to ear and reaching forward, grabbing Hikari's hand and gripping it tightly. Honestly, he didn't even know where he was going, as he didn't smell any food cooking meaning that the redhead wasn't in the kitchen; there was a multitude of places that the Flurry of Dancing Flame could have been. Perhaps he had heard the arrival of the thirteenth and had decided to come out of his room. That was.. Plausible. 

Roxas took off through the hallways, winding through paths that, from an outside source, probably seemed like they were chosen at complete random, but in the mind of the Nobody, he was following a precise route that he had gone down many a time. Axel's room was just a few more doors downward in a certain hall... And there! The door was still closed, but the light was on, which could be seen underneath the door. Roxas gave a few gentle knocks, knowing that if the eighth was inside, it would be more than enough to catch his attention. He smiled back towards his new friend, turning then back to the door, ready to greet the Flurry and introduce their new addition. 

thanks tia and kaigra!

[Note: Ohhh, dear. So begins a night at the castle.]

He offered to take her to the castle he mentioned, and giving that she had no other place to go, she accepted. Remembering her interactions with Roxas when they first met on the island that eventful day, and then the continued conversation in Traverse Town, she recalled, at first, that the idea of staying in a castle for at least one night was too good to be true. And yet, there she was, inside what appeared to be a lounge area for a grey castle. The windows gave her a good view of a dark, seemingly black sky.

"This is..." For a split second, Hikari thought she was in a dream, but brought herself back to reality with her talking. "This is the castle...?" Truthfully, he was in awe. To think that a place so large, as well as empty like Roxas said, was actually a place she was standing in...It was breathtaking, to say the least. The black-coated boy suddenly, hastily, pulled her in another direction, and she had no choice but to follow. "Axel?" A friend of his was in the castle, it seemed. Roxas looked as though he knew exactly where he was going, and given that the girl was only visiting for the first time, she felt that trusting his directions was a wise idea.

The two eventually stopped, Roxas having found the right door, it seemed. Judging by the fact that the light was still visible underneath, the one he called Axel was inside. Standing and waiting for the door to be answered, Hikari only asked herself internal questions. What was he going to be like? What did he wear usually? There were only questions, no answers until she found out.

Axel was settled at his desk, glasses slowly falling to the tip of his nose. He had been at this for so long that he didn't even notice adjusting them back up anymore. He was getting so engrossed in so many different things, mostly just nonsense theories about whatever it was that caught his attention. He was using just about anything and everything to keep himself occupied and calm. Currently, he was focusing on what once happened to all the Keybearers. There was the Keyblade War in which pretty much everyone died or was lost in someway.

Obviously that didn't last, but they were very few in numbers. He wondered if learning what happened in the past might be of use to them now, to prevent such things from happening again. The redhead was running the risk of also learning the perfect ways to force them to fall again should his darkness take complete control. At the moment, he was mostly just concerned about keeping his mind active and not thinking about any of that. If Roxas wasn't near, this was one of the better ways to not fall idle.

His focus was only broken with the rapping at his door. He flinched slightly, climbing out of the words that he was currently lost in. He sighed slightly at himself and shook his head. He felt safe in the castle for the most part, the only people to actually inhabit it these days being himself and Roxas. His other security measures were the Dusks and his Assassins, but he really needed to keep his guard up a little better than that. He pulled his glasses off and hid them safely in a drawer. That knock could only mean that there was someone in the castle that didn't belong here and they were most likely with Roxas. The lesser Nobodies wouldn't knock.

He pushed away from his desk and opened his door, lightly smiling down at his blond. He knew it had to be the Key for two reasons, one being that he was the only other occupant. Secondly, anyone else would have just barged in. Certainly the shorter male would have as well, but he had a guest in tow. Hey Roxy, He greeted pleasantly and let his gaze slide to the girl just behind him. In an effort to be as friendly as would be expected, the Flurry held out his hand to the newcomer. Hi, I'm Axel.

♡NOTES: Friends!! : D

For some reason, this instance seemed so familiar to him, in ways that he wasn't able to understand. He tried to push all of those thoughts out of his mind, simply focusing on the here and now, but it was there, in the back of his mind, attempting to eat away at him. He thought that maybe it had something to do with Xion, but with all of his might he tried to recall something that could bring about this feeling and was met with absolutely nothing to show for it.

Roxas grinned when the door in front of them opened and he was met with the usual face and pair of glaring eyes that was Axel. He had to admit, for someone who wasn't used to him, the redhead's appearance and mannerisms could be a little bit intimidating. If Roxas had known any better when he was first created, he probably would have been as well, but the two of them really clicked ever since the very first day. Axel took him under his wing without as much as a second thought, and the blond would never be able to verbalize how thankful he was for that act of kindness on the Flurry's part.

Where.. Where would he even be now if it wasn't for that?

The Key of Destiny watched as the eighth reached out and offered his hand towards his new friend. Roxas was all for helping others in their time of need, and if that meant inviting them in and giving them a roof over their head and a bed to sleep in, he was perfectly fine being compliant. It wasn't like anyone else was using them right now anyways.

Ahh... There was that feeling again. When he watched Axel offer his hand to her, doing the same thing that was done to Roxas in those early days - that gentle glare and that inviting smirk. It made his stomach twist in an unfathomable way, his mind almost creating an intense headache, but he managed to make it subside for the time being.

What is it with you and picking up stray puppies?

His blue eyes stared forward in a bit of a dumbfounded way, but he hoped he didn't seem out of place enough to warrant someone asking about him. He shook it off to the best of his ability, but he couldn't.. Forget that voice. Who was that? Were they talking to him..? Or.. No. They weren't talking to him, he was certain of that. He could feel it in the tightness making itself apparent in the middle of his chest. They were directed towards someone else, housed in a distant memory that laid dormant inside of the young Nobody. It slept somewhere within, but it was still accessible, though Roxas wasn't sure how and remained extremely confused for the time being.

"This is Hikari!" Just... Avert the subject. Try not to think about it. God, he hoped he didn't sound as though he were bothered. "I found her in Traverse Town, and she didn't really have a place to go... So..."
