Soon as things quieted down, Demyx went to our room. I stayed in Axel's room and he was laying in his bed and I was sitting on the edge. I yawned, which seemed to get his attention.

"You tired, cutie?" He asked me and I tiredly nodded. "You can stay here and snuggle with me if you want to."

I wagged my tail; two things I love the most is snuggles and Axel. Combine them would be the best thing to me. I grinned at him and whined, really wanting to.

He laughed at me, "Okay, okay, come here..."

I didn't take anymore time and I curled up with him wagging my tail as fast as I could, jumping into his arms. He chuckled and petted my ears. I felt like I was drunk and high off his love, which I definitely felt. My sight gained more haze with sleep and eyelids eventually lidded, safe in his warm and welcoming arms.

The silver haired boy awakened with a cool wet rag on his head and he blinked his eyes open. He groaned as he sat up and the rag fell on his lap. The arrow that shot his shoulder was wrapped in bandages. "Where am I?"

"You're finally up?" A boy's voice came. He turned to see Isa, "You might not want to move your shoulder for a couple of weeks, that arrow fractured your shoulder."

"Great..." He said sarcastically and pushed himself out of bed with right arm and his abdominal muscles. "Well, in all seriousness, thanks for helping me."

"Lea and I brought you here." Isa told the pup boy.

"Oh, well... Thanks." The boy looked around and saw it was just him. "Seriously, where is he?"

"He's in the other room. I'll go-"

"Isa, who are you... Talking to...?" Lea was standing in the chamber door to whatever this chamber is. It looked homey and comfortable. "He's awake! Well, were did you come from, little guy?"

The boy growled, "One, I'm not a little guy, and two, I came from the castle."

"Oh! Then you must know about the girl! We meet her in the castle!" Lea smiled until the silver haired boy looked away.

"I don't know what you're talking about..." The boy avoided their gaze.

Isa cleared his throat, "Well, um... Lea, let's show him around the neighborhood."

"I... guess." The redhead shrugged, then asked, "But hey, are you hungry, kiddo?"

"Hm..." the boy thought about it and held his stomach. His ears twitched as his stomach growled. "I guess I am..."

"Well, in that case, what do you want to eat?" Lea asked.

"Meat... Raw, please." The boy said to the redhead and caused the boys to look at each other, wondering why he wanted it raw.

"Why not have it cooked?" Isa scratched his head as he asked curious.

"I like it like that." The boy said now sniffing around the air to locate what he was after. Isa cringed at this.

"Okay... We have some in the freezer if you want..." Lea said, also curious of why he liked his meat raw.

The boy carefully stood and groaned a bit. He popped his shoulder, the one that wasn't broken, and sighed in relief, "Mind showing me?"

"Not at all..." Lea said and brought him to the freezer and opened it. There was a bunch of meat in it, and the smell and sight brought the hungry half breed's to it's watering point. The meat freezer was heaven, or so it looked. "Which one do you wan-"

He didn't even finish as the boy took a big steak and start to eat it. Isa felt like he was about to throw up. "Ugh, that's gross. I'll be waiting for you guys at the front door so we can go."

"You sure you don't want it to be cooked?" Lea asked, grossed out as well. The boy shook his head."Just a bit of seasoning...?" The boy shook his head again. Lea sighed and shook his head, chuckling, "Oh, we never did get your name. My name's Lea, got it memorized?"

The boy giggled and looked at him, amused by his catchphrase, looking into those emerald green eyes. Something about them made him blush pink, "I'm V_... It's nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too, V_!" He said to him with a grin, "Hey, do you know what sea salt ice cream is?"

"Sea salt... ice cream? Sounds kind of strange." He finished his raw meat with that statement.

"It's really good! Wanna go get some?" Lea asked.

"Uh, sure I guess... Where do you get this 'sea salt ice cream'? And what's ice cream?"

Lea was shocked, "You don't know what ice cream is?"

"No... I just have chicken, beef, or pork the others had for me... Should I know what it is?"

"Yeah! It's like the best thing you'll ever have! You HAVE to try some."

"Um, okay...?" He was still unsure about trying it, considering the conditions too. He would have to go to the outside with Lea. "Just... We gotta watch for guards. They could be after me and I don't want you guys to be seen with me. No good will come of it."

"Yeah, we got that covered, hold still..." He gave him a beanie to cover his ears and shades. "There we go..."

The silverette cringed a bit, adjusting his beanie and his shades, "Okay, that takes care of one problem... but what about my tail?"

"Baggy pants, along with a long jacket." Lea gave baggy pants and a long jacket.

"Um, okay..." He changed and tucked his tail in the baggy jeans. The silverette began to feel uncomfortable with his tail, scratching at the seat of his jeans. "Ugh..."

"Sorry it sucks..." Lea felt bad for not having anything more comfy.

"Nah, I've face worse than this..." He smiled at him and grew more curious. His smile disappeared, "Say, why did you two help me?"

"...We went to visit the girl went meet and we sat you getting hurt by a guard. When he left, we couldn't leave you, so we brought you home quickly."

"Oh. Thank for saving my hid." The silverette smiled at him. His silver, beady eyes were wide with curiousity. He was curious about his new friends.

Lea smiled, "No problem, kiddo. Now let's get going."

"Alright, sounds good." He grinned and giggled excitedly.

"Hey, Girx, wake up!" Axel shook me awake and I slightly woke up, cracking one of my eyelids open.

"Axel, go back to sleep..." I pouted, nuzzling his chest and about to go back to sleep.

"What, I can't wake my cute boyfriend up-"

"In the middle of the night? no..." I mumbled, semi-pissed off I was woken so early. He laughed and rubbed my ears, which made me feel a little better. He knew it did too. I pouted.

"Come on, don't be that way. You know you love getting your ears rubbed. Sweet six this guy was hard to argue with.

"Fuck you, man." I said and we both laughed.
