Theme 15 Flames, aka Fire and Flames

The Bonuses

16. Fault

Axel sighed sadly while lying on his bed. His two friends were playing some video game and sitting on the Flurry's floor. The redhead glanced once at Demyx before sighing again and closing his eyes. Demyx took once a deep breath and shook his head while he paused the game. "Axel?" He questioned quietly.

The Flurry looked at the water wielder sadly. "Dem… I'm sorry…" He whispered quietly. Demyx chuckled and shook his head.

"There's nothing to say sorry for. It was just a little mistake. Besides it'll heal." Demyx replied with a smile and glanced at the small bandage on his finger. Axel sighed.

"Still… I should've been more careful…" Axel whispered back. "It's still my fault no matter what you'd say…"

"Axel…" Roxas started and the Flurry looked at him. "You know that Dem likes to bake, right?" The Keyblader continued and Axel nodded. "Well, he could've easily burned himself on that anyway, so it's not a big deal. Just forget it already." Roxas told him. Axel sighed again.

"Can't. It's my fault and that's it." He stated. Demyx shook his head with a sigh.

"And there's nothing to change your mind, huh?" Demyx asked slightly hopeful.

"What you got in your mind then?" Axel questioned slightly interested. Demyx grinned.

"I don't know… Maybe the cookies I made?" Demyx answered airily. Axel sat up little suspicious.

"If I know right that failed quite well… Or am I wrong?" Axel continued.

Roxas grinned. He had caught up with Demyx's little plan. "I think there's still some dough left for next batch of cookies." He answered. Demyx nodded.

Axel sighed. "Fine but I handle the oven stuff… So you two stay off of the way at then…" He answered and the trio left back to the kitchen.

At first time Demyx had been way too close and when Axel had turned around with the hot thing that the cookies were on, its edge had slightly brushed at Demyx's hand. Demyx had cried out of pain, which had freaked Axel out and the cookies had fallen to the ground.

17. Ice

Melting ice was simple but fighting against ice wielder is hard. Axel had learned this on the hard way when he got a practice fight with Vexen. The Flurry had never liked the scientist but he was amazing doctor. No matter, Axel still was willing to win the fight and he let his Chakrams fly with as hot fire as he could create but it still didn't help. Vexen would easily put Axel's Chakrams into ice cubes.

Flurry cursed about this kind of things since getting them out of the cube was hard. Vexen didn't give him a chance of staying long enough around the ice cube to melt it. Axel was left to fight on melee but he couldn't even get anywhere near the ice elemetarist.

Axel hated it but he lost. He always lost to Vexen. If Demyx didn't hate fighting, Axel never could beat the young musician in practice but since Demyx hated fighting winning him was piece of cake. But Vexen was fully different thing… And this far Axel hadn't found a way of beating him.

18. Laugh if you want

Axel was trying to learn few new tricks with his element. The fire just wasn't going to follow his command and the rest of the Organization kept laughing at him. The fire wielder only glared at them and kept on practicing. The only luck was that his two friends' didn't laugh at him but tried to help him on every way possible.

But few months later Axel was the one laughing at others when he won them on a practice. Demyx and Roxas were cheering for Axel… This, of course, always helped the Flurry to keep on learning new tricks with the fire no matter how much others kept laughing at him.

19. Element

Axel was lying on his bed and playing with a fireball. He had a small and slightly sad smile on his face while letting his mind wander. He knew that the fire was an element but it felt like a part of him. Yet this wasn't what he actually was thinking. His mind was actually in his two best friends who were currently handling a mission together.

Axel chuckled a little. It was actually quite funny how he had made friends with Demyx who was a water wielder, a straight opposite element to his fire. Axel had never actually thought but always believed in the small wording: "Keep your friends close but your enemies closer." Yet in the end Demyx had turned to become a friend instead of an enemy in close watch.

And then there was Roxas, the wielder of light element. His element was at least closer to Axel's own element but it hadn't been the reason the friendship had been started. It was more or less for the reason that the kid looked so lost and in need of a friend and some help… In the end help wasn't that of important since the kid had Keyblades.

20. It's just an illusion

Axel was sitting in front of a fireplace. He stared into the fire but sighed once in a while sadly. Roxas walked in after knocking on the door but Axel didn't notice a thing. "Hey, Axel." The Keyblader called but Axel only nodded. "What's wrong?" Roxas questioned worriedly.

Axel sighed and pointed to the fireplace. "That." He replied with slight hate. Roxas looked at the fireplace.

"There's fire. So? You should be happy." Roxas stated and looked confused at Axel. The redhead sighed little annoyed.

"It's just an illusion! Xemnas doesn't let me have real fireplace!" Axel screamed angrily. Roxas flinched a little and nodded.

"I see… How about you'd come to my room. We could light a fire into the fireplace…" Roxas suggested. Axel blinked at Roxas before smiling.

"I like that… Thanks."
