So Mayfield, how do all of you feel about Christmas carolers?

[Filtered to Roxas]

Get your blond butt over here. Bring a friend or something. We're gonna have fun tonight.

...Caroling?

[phone]

[fineinthefire]

Yeah. I'll explain it when you get here. Now hurry up.

[phone]

[surmounthesky]

Uh... Kay? And I need to bring someone with me?

[fineinthefire]

Yeah, just pick someone. Can't be that difficult. You go to school right? Bring someone from there.

[surmounthesky]

[Someone from school? But Axel said friend... Was there anyone he had laughed with there?

Wait. There was that one kid that he beamed in the face with a Frisbee...Did he count?] ...Anyone?

[fineinthefire]

Yeah, anyone.

[He was starting to sound like a broken record her Roxas.]

[surmounthesky]

Okay. I'll be over there as soon as I grab him. [You can't see his look of determination. Axel required someone else there, so Rin was going to get dragged if he didn't agree to it.]

[fineinthefire]

Sounds good. See ya soon.

[And now Axel is just gonna kick back and wait for you two blond headed weirdos to get your butt over to his house.]

[action and such]

[surmounthesky]

[It took a while but Roxas had finally managed to get Rin out of his house and over to Axel's. Roxas refused to take no for an answer. Doing something else? Didn't matter. Do it later.

He gave a grin to Rin before he knocked on the door.]

[callinblueskies]

[Rin just kept his hands shoved in his pockets. He hadn't put up too much of a fight since there was nothing better for him to do today. No one could blame him about being a little unsure about hanging out with the guy that threw a frisbee at his face though.]

Who are we getting again?

[surmounthesky]

[He appreciated the little resistance. Besides, you threw the first object.]

Axel, red hair, kinda loud?

[fineinthefire]

[He pulls open the door.]

He also has kinda good hearing. Maybe you should wait to bash a man until your not on his doorstep eh?

[Despite his words, he's smirking. He takes a step to the side.]

Took you long enough. Get in here and introduce me to your friend.

[callinblueskies]

Never heard of-[Oh hello person. Rin will follow the suggestion and step inside, kicking the snow off his boots.]

I'm Rin. [Taking off a glove and holding it out to shake Axel's.]

[surmounthesky]

[Roxas grins at Axel before entering, already shrugging off his coat.] Are you denying it?

We met on my first day here. He... kinda helped? [He cast a glance at Rin, particularly his face. At least the frisbee didn't leave a mark.]

[fineinthefire]

[Axel took Rin's hand in his own unnaturally warm one and gave it one firm shake before letting go.] Nice to meet you Rin. Make yourself at home. Any friend of Roxas' is a friend of mine.

[Okay, so that was a huge over-exaggeration and he probably wouldn't like half of the people that Roxas did, but he was supposed to be friendly so he was trying. He gives Roxas a sideways smirk.]

It's not denying it if it isn't the truth.

[... Okay Roxas, you looked at Rin like you were feeling guilty about something. He looked between the two.] Am I missing something?

[callinblueskies]

[ He'll give a stronger than intended return shake. Why did he feel like he was being welcomed by some sort of family?]

...Kinda? [He really only cleared up that not all houses were the same, and answered the basic questions he understood about Mayfield. Nothing incredibly useful in the long run.]
