"Good, hand out to lead her to her chair like so." He showed him with gentle hands. "Once she has been seated, her lady will help her from then on out. During dinner make pleasant conversation. After dinner, thank her parents for their time then ask her to go on a walk. Usually from there it gets informal, you laugh, joke and act like the teen you are. But you don't forget about me." He said and grinned. "Then you go to your room. Technically she has a room designated for them, not that I'm sure they have ever used it." He said and then smiled. "But it's always an option to send them there."

Roxas nodded, making sure to memorize everything that he was supposed to do. He didn't want to make some stupid mistake that would come back and affect Sora later. He smiled lightly. "I won't forget about you." he said, knowing that would be impossible. He already knew he was going to make whoever this princess was, she was going to sleep in her own designated room. He wouldn't really be comfortable if she insisted she sleep with him.

He smiled and kissed the male again. "I can't help it..." He whispered and then shrugged. "Okay, so... when after you bow to her, you bow to her parents and kiss her mothers hand. You say 'welcome to our home', because castle just seems rude. Although, I believe theirs is bigger." He said and touched his cheek. "You'll do fine, don't worry..."

It seemed that every time Roxas managed to make his blush go away, Axel did something that made it come back stronger than ever. He fought if off quickly, his gaze on the ground before nodding slowly. "I'm not too worried about it." he said, shrugging lightly. "It shouldn't be too hard." He smiled lightly at Axel.

"Mmmmhmmm." He said and grinned. "Come here..." He said and went through his closet. He pulled out an outfit. "These should fit you, and it looks appropriate." He said and sat down on his bed and watched him carefully.

Roxas glanced at Axel curiously, but followed him to the closet. Once he was handed the clothes, his gaze dropped. "You're going to watch me change?" he asked, suddenly very self-conscious. Even though he already was seen in his underwear by the man... So he shouldn't be nervous. Yet he was and he didn't know why.

Axel put a hand over his eyes and laughed. "There, is that better?" He asked and moved to throw a pillow over his face too. "So... is your fun castle experience getting more intriguing yet?"

Roxas pouted lightly when he was laughed at, but was glad when Axel covered his eyes. "Yeah. I'd say it's getting very intriguing." he said, smiling lightly as he changed his clothes. They seemed to fit him good enough, which was good. He ran a hand lightly through his hair, pushing his bangs out of his eyes. "I'm done changing now."

"You look great." Axel said as he uncovered his face. He sat up and grinned. "Like a prince... Other than the lack of a bitchy attitude and such." He said and then rose an eyebrow. "You really are cute...." He whispered and then heard the bells ring. "Way to be early..." He muttered and darted out of bed. "Come on, you're now officially late for your own date."

Roxas smiled when he heard he looked like a prince. And even though he lacked the 'attitude and such', he was sure he could fake it if needed. But the second the bells rang, a nervous, uncomfortable feeling grew in his stomach. "Great..." he muttered. "Where exactly am I supposed to be meeting this girl?" he asked, just wanting the whole thing to be over.

"Follow me." He said and started running down the halls, dragging Roxas behind him. He pushed open the doors to the welcoming hall. "Your Prince, Sora!" He said and bowed, The Princess and her parents entering the room. He was just seconds late. Nothing too bad.

Roxas followed after Axel and was completely out of breath by the time the reached the welcoming hall. It didn't take long for him to regain it and fix his face so it looked appropriate. Although the nervous, uncomfortable feeling started growing in his stomach again. He glanced slightly at the man next to him before approaching the Princess and bowing lightly to her and her parents. "Welcome to our home." he said, making sure his voice was nice.

Axel watched the activities before turning and leaving the room. The dining hall had to be made up. The maids were already flitting about trying to fix things. "What can I do." One maid pointed to the tapestries and he nodded. He ran to the second floor balcony ledge and started untying them. They all fell, showing the castles crest and the crests of their alliances. Within ten minutes the room looked divine and food was being served in a rush. Axel waited at the back of his chair for the royals to enter. He kept his head bowed as the room lit up around them.

Roxas chatted with the Princess, the whole time resisting the urge to run. She was so obviously into him, but he kept changing the course of the conversation whenever it started to get uncomfortable for him. But she was determined to get him to fall for her. He was very relieved though when it was time for dinner. The relief didn't last long though when she sat so close to him. He just really wanted this night to end.

Axel sat quietly, saying nothing. He was jealous, it showed if anyone paid attention. Dinner went by awkwardly and slowly. When the king stood, so did he. He helped the queen who sat next to him and gave her a gentle bow. "Have a good night." He said and disappeared onto the outside balcony. God he wanted to punch the princess. Poor Roxas.

Roxas sat quietly through dinner, nodding his head occasionally while he half-way listened to the princess talk. And talk. And talk. It just seemed to be never-ending. He was glad when it was late enough to be considered reasonable to go to bed. After insisting multiple times that the princess sleep in a different room, Roxas sighed in relief when she was gone. 'Finally...' he thought and turned as he went outside to clear his head.

"You amaze me." Axel said when he spotted him. "You managed to evade her all night..." he said and then moved to touch his hand and slowly pulled him towards the high hedged garden. "Come on..." He said quietly.

Roxas smiled when he spotted Axel. He followed after him silently, not wanting anyone to know he was technically sneaking off. He had told the princess he was going to bed, but he didn't feel tired one bit. And besides, he'd much rather spend it with the man in front of him than some girl who doesn't know how to shut up. "Where are we going?" he asked, making sure his voice was low.

"Where no one can see us..." He said and smiled as they entered the garden maze. "There we go..." He said and then entertwined their fingers. "I hated seeing you with her... God... that's disgusting..." He muttered and shivered.

Roxas smiled lightly as a light blush spread across his face. He didn't mind spending this time alone with Axel. He was actually kinda happy. "I hated being with her." he said, liking the feel of the man's hand in his. "She never seemed to shut up. I'm glad I got away from her."

"Really," Axel asked and then raised an eyebrow. "I do really love that you're here with me though..." He said and then slowly wrapped his arms around the blond dyed brunette and grinned. "I didn't want to let you out of my sight. She was gorgeous... all I could think about was if you wouldn't be able to kick her out of your room... And I'd fear for you..." He said quietly and grinned.

It was starting to get rather cool tonight and he wished he'd brought a jacket out. But Roxas smiled lightly when he felt Axel's arms around him. It made him feel warmer than he had been. "I would have feared for me too." he said, resting his head against the man's shoulder. "But she's sleeping in a different room tonight and by tomorrow she'll be gone."

"She will, but in four weeks there will be another. Or five I suppose. This one came early..." He sighed and pressed a kiss to the mans head, through his hair. "I like you though all the same... I really, really like you..." He said and closed his eyes. He held the male close and got a sudden urge to lay him down and kiss him till his skin burned with desire. He realized that was naughty and decided not too.

Roxas frowned lightly at the thought of having to sit through another evening of torture with some other random girl. A light blush spread across his face as his heart-rate sped up slightly. He wrapped his arms slowly around Axel and bit his lip for a second. "I really, really like you too.." he muttered. He was silent for a few seconds longer before he pulled away from him slightly only to press his lips lightly against Axel's.

Axels nearly moaned at the contact but managed to stay silent and kiss back. His hands tightened arouind the male as he slowly broke off. "Never thought I'd kiss a prince." He whispered and then laughed, kissing him softly once more. "Mmmm but you make it so easy to want to."
