"What?" Maximum asked. She was standing behind her chair at the dinner table and they were all staring at her. "Am I not allowed to eat or something?" They averted their eyes away from her. She sat down on her seat and started eating her breakfast. Axel smiled at this; it was as if she was back to normal again.

"No. XIV, you have a mission with Axel in Twilight Town." She nodded at this and looked at her brother.

"Ready?" He smiled and they walked through a portal.

They fought Heartless and Max felt a bit stronger. She used all the magic she knew and realised that it was her strength. They finished and Axel decided to treat her.

They sat on top of the Clock Tower and ate their ice creams. "So you didn't leave." He stated and she turned to him with a small smile.

"I realised that friendship isn't easy to let go of." She said and finished off an ice cream. She looked at the stick and gasped. "Yay, I've got the winner!" Axel looked at it.

"That's cool; you can get another ice cream with that."

"When Roxas wake up, I'll show him and give it to him." The red haired pyro smirked at this.

"Still love him?" She blushed at this and nodded.

"Yeah."

"I have a feeling that he might like you." Axel murmured.

"You're just saying that…" Maximum said with pink cheeks.

"Well he does blush whenever you're around him and when you smile at him." She smiled at this and watched the sunset.

"Maybe…" She mumbled.

After half an hour or so, she and Axel decided to RTC. They opened a portal and ended up at the lounge. Max stretched like a lazy lion. "It's good to see that you're okay, Maximum!" Jonathan grinned and Xion was standing next to him.

"Everyone was very worried about you." The dark haired nobody mumbled.

"Well, I'm better now. I have complete faith and hope that Roxas will wake up very soon." Max smiled.

"Max…" She blinked and thought she was hallucinating when she heard Roxas voice. Xion, Jonathan, and Axel looked at the person who stood behind her and gasped.

"Roxas!" Xion exclaimed with relief.

"Maximum…" It was really him and he was calling out only her name. Slowly, she turned around to see Roxas who smiled at her. Her eyes filled with tears and no more than a second, they fell down her cheeks. It was as if all the happiness returned to her green eyes and the colour returned to her face.

"Roxas…" she cried and ran to the blonde haired boy. She pounced onto him and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Woah." Roxas whispered and stepped back, but nonetheless, he returned the hug. She clenched fistfuls of his coat and started crying like a child. He held her in his arms and her face was buried on his shoulder.

"Roxas, I-I'm so s-sorry, I…" Roxas pulled away from her, placed his finger on her lips and shook his head.

"Don't say anything. All I want is for you to be with me. I missed you." The blue eyed boy pulled her and held her tightly. Axel took Xion and Jonathan's arms and dragged them out of the room.

They both heard a loud rumble and Max pulled away from Roxas. She stared at him, his face was as red as her hair and he scratched the back of his head. Max couldn't help but giggle at this. She took his hand and they walked into the kitchen.

"How long have I been asleep?" He asked and she gulped at this.

"A long time." She mumbled.

"Five years?" He tilted his head to the side and the red haired nobody slapped his shoulder playfully with a laugh.

"Not that long, Roxy! Three weeks." She started taking his food out and he looked up at her. He fixated on her hair, it was short.

"Why did you cut your hair?" He asked and she gasped quietly at this.

"Oh, uh, it's just that long hair didn't really suit me much, y'know. I think shorter hair looks better on me." She lied and Roxas didn't look amused. Max turned to said boy who crossed his arms and gave her a look that said, 'I know you're lying to me.' She frowned at this and looked at the food again.

"Would it be okay, if we didn't talk about it?" She muttered and she felt Roxas' arms snake her waist. He buried his face on the crook of her neck but leaned closer to her ear.

"Were you that upset when I went into a coma?" He whispered and she felt butterflies in her stomach as she felt his hot breath.

"In ways you can't imagine. I wasn't just upset; it was much more than that. If I tell you all that's happened, you'll feel sad and I don't want you to worry about me, ever." She turned around to face him. "Promise me that you won't go into a coma again." He frowned at this and sighed.

"I can't promise that I won't go into a coma again." She looked up at him and sniffed as the tears fell down her cheeks.

"I don't want to be alone." She croaked her voice and placed his hands on her cheeks.

"You won't be alone, Max. But I promise you that whenever I wake up from a coma and even from now on, I'll be there for you. I'll take care of you whenever you're weak." He wiped away her tears. "Just stop crying, please." She averted her eyes to the ground and nodded.

"The thing I wanted to see is you happy. Now please, smile, for me." He begged and she blushed at this. Green eyes met with sapphire blue orbs and Max smiled shyly at him.

"The thing that I craved for the most since you've been in a coma is your warmth and embrace." She mumbled sheepishly and regretted saying this. 'I'm so stupid! I'm making a complete fool out of myself!'

'You said it!' Eri laughed in her mind.

'Shut up Eri!'

Suddenly, Max was brought back to reality when Roxas wrapped his arms around her. "I missed you, Max." He whispered and kissed her forehead. She closed her eyes and sighed with delight; his lips were warm and felt soft like cotton.

"I missed you too Roxas…" She mumbled and he kissed her cheek.

"Get a room you two!" A voice called; Eri. Roxas immediately pulled away and jumped when he saw a little guardian on Max's shoulder.

"ERI?!" Max yelled and Roxas got a frying pan.

"What is that?!" He asked and swung the pan onto Eri, who disappeared. Thump! He accidently hit her left shoulder. Her face turned sour with pain and tears brimmed in her eyes. Roxas' eyebrows furrowed together and he frowned.

"Max, I'm so sorry, it was an accident." She gave him a reassuring smile and a nod. The red haired nobody held her shoulder. He placed his hand on top of hers and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Yes." He sighed with relief and she smiled; he was so concerned about her.

"Too slow." Eri mumbled seductively as she sat on top of Roxas' head and twirled her small fingers in his golden hair.

"Eri, get down from there, now!" Max muttered murderously.

"Aw, why? I want to meet our dearest Roxy." She smirked and winked at Maximum. The red haired nobody's cheek went beet red out of bashfulness and anger.

"ERI, GO AWAY!" She yelled and the black haired guardian vanished.

"What was that?" Roxas asked and the redhead sighed.

"Believe it or not, that's my guardian." The blonde tilted his head to his side and he looked so adorable. "Don't do that. You look too cute like that!" She said and he smiled at this.

"You're much cuter than me." He mumbled and she rolled her eyes at this.

"Not this again." She giggled.

AN another chapter done... Thank goodness for the Google keyboard, it will let you use your voice for typing. Don't ask, I was just bored just typing.

About the music, I just love matching it with the story. Does anyone have this quirk? I do!
