Axel wanted to dance with him? That did sound like a lot fun but the problem was... Well... "Sure.. But I can't really dance. I never learned how..." Roxas said, turning his gaze away from the other. "But I'll come back if Sora gets back before then."

"Good. And Sora knows how. He'll teach you." Axel said and then grinned as they made it back to the pond. "I hate putting on wet clothes." He muttered as he started with his pants and then finished with the rest. "Come on, let's get you to lunch." He said and pet his horses back. "Ready?" He heard the neigh and slid on.

Roxas frowned lightly as they reached the pond. The walk back didn't seem that long. But he really shouldn't complain. So he put his clothes back on silently, hating having to try to get the wet clothes onto his body. He got back up onto his horse as his stomach growled lightly. He hadn't realized how hungry he was until he heard the mention of food. "What do you think we'll be having?" he asked.

"I dunno. Fruit for me." he said and then patted the horse with his foot. They both trotted off. By the time they got back to the stables he was starving too. "Get dressed, meet me in the dining hall." He said and smiled giving a small wave. "Back to hating you, it really does suck."

Roxas nodded when they got back to the stables. "Well. Just don't be too mean to me." he said, smiling lightly as he slid off his horse. He stretched his arms lightly before turning and heading back into the castle to hunt down his room. It didn't take long for him to find and he quickly changed into some dry clothes before heading off for lunch.

Axel beat him to lunch and he pulled on a sneer just for the mail. When he felt the mail sit down however, his leg moved to brush against the other males. "King! I'm... I didn't realize you... were coming to eat with us." He said as he looked up at the king who entered the room.

"I'm not, just came to tell my son to be ready for tonight, the princess is coming a week ahead of schedule." Axel glanced at Roxas and gave a very subtle nod.

Roxas had smiled lightly as he sat down next to Axel, but it faded quickly when the king came into the room. And what he said made an uncomfortable feeling grow in his stomach. He glanced at Axel, not sure what he was supposed to say. He nodded slowly and dropped his gaze to the table, doing as Sora instructed for whenever he was confronted by his father. "Yes sir." he said. "I'll be ready."

The king nodded and left the room. Axel slid his leg against Roxas' again and frowned. "You just have to deal with her flirting with you, be kind, then... tell her no tonight. Unless you don't want too. She is going to be staying with you tonight...." He said and looked away. "Then, tomorrow morning after breakfast she will leave... It'll be okay."

Roxas kept his gaze on the table for a bit longer, making sure the king was actually gone before he lifted his gaze to look at Axel. "I really don't want to do this..." he said, not wanting a girl he just met to be flirting with him. He was silent for a few seconds before raising an eyebrow lightly. "You know, you sound kinda jealous.. Are you?"

"How could I not be, Rox?" He whispered and then looked away for a moment. He sighed and shook his head. "The idea of you with a girl disgusts me." He then bit into his food as it was served and smiled as he felt apple juice run down his throat. "Delicious, and nutritious. You should eat one."

Roxas smiled lightly as he took an apple. "Don't worry. I would much rather hang with you than some girl who probably won't even like me." he said, shrugging lightly as he took a bite. He had to admit it did taste good. It just wasn't something he'd want to eat all the time.

"Trust me. She will like you. You're a prince, an attractive prince... She will love you... until she realized you're a human being with more needs than power, want, hunger, and sex. "Don't worry okay? I know you'll do what's right for you. You really are gorgeous. And smart. And witty..."

Roxas was silent for a few seconds, taking a few bites from his food. "You're right." He was sure he could make a good decision. But he was certain he didn't want someone liking him just because they thought he was a prince. And besides, this was only for one evening. He could just push through it easily enough.

"If it helps Sora called the last one a fat whore..." He said then stood. "Don't worry, you probably have at least three hours before she shows up. When you're done with your food, come get me and we will find something to do to prepare you for this.

Roxas smiled. Sora didn't seem like the type of person to call someone a whore, but he did find it amusing. He pushed away his half-eaten plate before standing. "I'm done now. I don't normally eat a lot anyway." He thought he had to go to his classes, but at least getting ready to meet someone new sounded better to him than sitting in a room for a certain amount of time.

"Come on then." He said and then smiled, headed to his room glancing back at him. "Are you coming?" Axel asked and stuck his hands in his pockets and opened the door to his chambers. "Out please?" He said to a maid and she nodded, leaving under command.

Roxas nodded. "Yeah. I'm coming." he said, following after him silently. He barely glanced at the maid when she passed him on her way out. He looked around Axel's room, seeing it seemed nicer than the one Sora had. It seemed like the king did like Axel more than his own son. "What all do I need to do to get ready?"

Axel shut the door and then turned Roxas around. "You need.... to know I will be jealous of any girl that tries to win your heart... So I wanted to be... hopefully... the first to kiss you..." He said and tilted the males chin. He may be evil for doing this, for liking Roxas, but it still seemed right.

A dark blush spread across Roxas's face and his heart-rate sped up. He turned his gaze away for a second before looking back at Axel. He bit his lip lightly before he nodded slowly. "Alright... You can be my first kiss..." he muttered, forcing his blush to fade as quickly as he could.

Axel smiled and slid a hand through his hair and kissed him softly. He closed his eyes and with his free hand he slid it into Roxas' hand. After a few moments he slid away and he let out a soft breath. "Thank you... I had to know."

The blush came back full force onto Roxas's face. When Axel pulled away, he smiled lightly. He was silent for a few seconds as he listened to his heartbeat pound loudly in his ears. "You had to know what?" he asked, kinda breathless.

"Know that you'd be thinking about that the entire time she was with you..." He said and then smiled, resting their foreheads together. "That blush... I dunno what it is about that blush, but it's fucking hot."

Roxas' blush darkened slightly, but he still smiled lightly. There was no doubt in his mind that he'd be thinking about that kiss now. It's probably going to be the only that that's going to get him through the evening. "I'm not blushing..." he muttered, automatically defending himself even though he knew it was true.

"Right..." He said and grinned. "You are sooo blushing." He turned him around to face him towards the mirror. "See?" He asked and then winked. "Blushing. But it's cute so no worries. Now... formal arrangements. When she enters you will bow to her but keep eye contact. Show me."

Roxas glanced at himself in the mirror for a second before he dropped his gaze to the ground. He nodded slowly before he took a few steps away from Axel so he could bow properly. He made sure to keep his gaze on the man's face. His blush fading slowly, as his heart-rate returned to normal.
