Axel hummed. “Mother Hulda was soooo good. I really enjoyed it. Have you ever read any H.P Lovecraft?”

Ember shook her head, finger-combing her raven-dark hair. "I'm afraid I haven't. Are they good? I overheard some other kids in my creative writing classes talking about it."

“He’s so good but really morbid. Especially in his older days. Oooh. I have a book you can borrow if you’re interested.”

Ember bounced excitedly. "Really? That'd be great!" She grinned. She leaned over and hugged him. "Thank you!" Then realized how awkward hugging him might be and quickly withdrew.

(Me IRL.)

Axel laughed and squeezed her into another bear hug. “It’s no problem! I don’t mind hugs.”

Ember grinned and wrapped her arms around him again and buried her face in his shoulder like she had done with her brother. It was very comforting.

Axel leaned his head on hers, smiling a little. She was so sweet and nice.

(I'll start then.)

Ember woke to pounding on her apartment door. It had a rhythm to it that she had grown familiar with since kindergarten. She grinned and got up. "I'm coming Serenity! Give me a sec!!" She quickly threw on some clothes and walked to the door, opening it to reveal a angry, tall, blond girl. "Some friend you are, making me sit outside for that long." the blondie huffed. Ember rolled her eyes and got out of the way so she could come in. "And some friend you are for waking me up so early. You do realize that I have plans today don't you?" Serenity came to a halt in her inspection of Ember apartment. She whipped around. "YOU HAVE PLANS?!!!" She gaped at the short dark eyed girl locking her door back up. "Don't give me that look. Yes I have plans. My co-worker and I are going to eat lunch together and maybe walk around town. Why?" Serenity held up her hands and said, "Woah, woah, woah! Back the T-rex up! You're telling me that in the 2 months you've been here, you've not only got an apartment, (Which is completely depressing by the way), but you've a job, and scored a date?!" She wolf whistled. "You've been busy, girl." Ember shot her an annoyed look as she started packing a tote bag with food she'd saved up to buy for this event. "It's not a date. Axel is just a friend. He would not be interested in someone like me." Serenity slapped her hand on the counter. "Don't give me that crap! Also, is he as hot as his name sounds?" Ember's cheeks colored. "…Yes, he's very good-looking." Serenity jumped and squealed like a shipping fangirl. (Me.) "Girl, you cannot go in that!" Ember rolled her eyes. "I don't have much of a choice. I only have three pairs of cloths." Serenity groaned. "Fine. But you're borrowing my perfume." Ember turned to look at her. "I'm not borrowing you'r- hck-kuff-frick-blech!" She had gotten a faceful of scented alcohol. She finally cleared her face and airways of the stuff and actually took a whiff. "Pumpkin?" Serenity giggled. "Yep! It supposed to be, erm… arousing to boys. Scientifically proven." Ember rolled her eyes and grabbed her tote bag. "I need to go. You have the extra key. Lock up when you go." And with that, she left her embarrassing friend in the dust. Serenity chuckled, "Not a date huh…? You're speed says otherwise…."

(It was xD)

Axel flicked a nice shirt out of his closet. He had worn it for the first day of school with a gray scarf but it looked nice with a black pair of pants and shoes. His roomate was out again. He sighed at the empty bed as he stripped off his comfy PJs and threw on the shirt, scarf and dresspants. He looked at himself in the mirror, deciding he needed a belt. He grabbed one, then wrapped it around his waist and under the loops, tightening it. It squeezed at him and he huffed heavily before grabbing his keys and walking out his dorm room.

Ember ended up at a picnic bench under an oak tree just outside Axel's dorm, examining a shiny new acorn. She always loved studying things like this. She looked at the tree, murmuring absently to herself. "White oak. The nuts are edible to humans if roasted." But her mind was drifting. She was worried what Axel might think if he noticed the perfume her friend sprayed on her and if he had heard the… interesting factiod about pumpkin scents and their effects on men. What if he thought she was trying to make him like her and left her? There was no time to take a shower to get the scent off at home though… She set her head on the table of the bench and groaned.

Axel walked over to the tree they were going to meet under. He looked up, down and around, smiling at the falling leaves. It was a pretty fall’s afternoon. He was glad he asked her to a picnic today. He spotted her on a bench and ran up.
“Hey!”

Ember squeaked and jumped, face flushed. "H-hi!" she gave a small wave to Axel. "H-how's your roommate doing?" 'Please don't notice the perfume. Please don't notice the perfume. Please don't notice the perfume.'

Axel smiled. “My roommate hasn’t been around, so I wouldn’t know!” He laughed gently. “Anyway, I brought some food.” He held up a bag. “But I also brought my keys and wallet if you wanted to go somewhere.”

Ember gave a smile back. "How about you choose? I don't go enough places to know anywhere good. Oh!" She reached into the bag and pulled out a tin foil pan covered in tin foil. "I saved up some money and made some blueberry muffins!" Then she realized. "D-do you like blueberry muffins? I'm sorry. I should have asked."

Axel took the pan gently, beaming. “I love muffins! I can eat them all day and get crumbs everywhere.” He laughed.

She perked up immediately. Her smile was bright. "I'm the same way when I can get my hands on them!" she laughed. She gave him a quick hug and then grabbed her tote bag. "Is there any where specific you wanna go seeing as how I don't have any suggestions?"

Axel tilted his head cutely back and forth. “Hmm… BLTs? I could use a hella good BLT.” He spun the keys on his fingers.

Ember thought it was adorable when he tilted his head back and forth like that. She gave a small skip, the wind making her skirt swish. "BLTs sound good." She smiled, tipping her head, quite cute. Suddenly a gust nearly made her skirt fly up, she quickly pushed it back down. She was wearing shorts underneath, but her cheeks still flushed. "I should probably get out of the wind…"

Axel glanced at her when he saw her move and smiled shyly. “Right. Right. My car’s right out this way.” He grabbed her hand and led her to his car, the wind blowing back his hair and ruffling it up.

When he grabbed her hand her cheeks flushed even more, but she allowed him to lead her away. She kept a hand on her skirt to prevent that embarrassing event from repeating. She watched his hair as it swished in the wind, and strange desire to play with it came over her. She pushed the instinct down though. She decided to ask a question. "Is the red hair from your mother or father's side?"

Axel smiled at her when she talked. He hoped he wasn’t making her nervous with his hold-handing.
“Both of my parents had it. My father had the darker hair, though.”

Ember grinned. "Cool. People say I look like my mother. They always comment on how we may look completely alike, our personalities are polar opposites." She squeezed his hand slightly, experimentally.

Axel smiled and squeezed her hand back. “Here’s my car!” He took her to the passenger’s side and opened the door.
