Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

Day 24 and 25

(24)

Number 14 stood next to Demyx.

"This place is so much nicer without the loudmouths." "Loudmouths?" Roxas walked over and stood with 14. Demyx looked towards him. "Those bossy coworkers sent to Castle Oblivion." He looked down. "Well, I suppose It's too bad you and Poppet didn't get to spend a little more quality time with them." "Poppet?" "I'm talking about Bullax, kiddo."

He looked at her then back at Xigbar. "Kiddo?" "Roxas, get to work." Saix walked over to them.

The duo left to Twilight Town and did their mission together.

Roxas made his Keyblade disappear and turned to Bullax. "I've got someplace to be again today, so go on ahead without me." He walked past her. "R... Roxas..." He stopped and gasped a bit. "Bullax?" He turned to face her as she faced him.

"Roxas... is your name." "Yeah." She turned and left.

The duo got to where they ended last time.

She stopped, "Roxas." He stopped and turned to her. She took off her hood and smiled. "Best of luck today." He stared at her, "yeah." He turned, "let's go."

They got to the station and Darkside appeared.

Darkside punched Roxas, who fell and his Keyblade slid to Bullax.

It appeared in her hand she took it down.

He got up, "wow I..." She turned towards him. "I didn't know you could use the Keyblade." She held it up, "you know... neither did I." It disappeared. They chuckled. "You earned the icing on the cake." "Huh?" "C'mon, I'll show you."

They sat at the top of the clocktower, Roxas holding ice cream.

"This is such a great spot... how'd you find it?" He handed her one, "here ya go." She looked over and took it. "Sea-salt ice cream. C'mon, try it." She nodded and took a bite. "It's sweet... and salty." "It's good, right?" She looked at him. "Axel and I, we meet here for ice cream after work." He took a bite.

"This flavor is Axel's favorite." "Sounds like it's yours, too." "Yeah. Axel brought me here to eat ice cream on my first day with the Organization. And then after my first mission, he got me ice cream again. Said it was "icing on the cake"." "Like you did for me?" "Yeah." She looked forward, "you both must be pretty close." "Well, Axel and I are friends."

"Friends... could I be a friend?" "When Axel gets back, we'll have ice cream together." She looked at him and smiled. "Ok."
