Roxas did make a face at the hair ruffling, swatting playfully at Axel. "Thought you'd never agree," he chirped.
"How could I say no, huh?" Axel responded, ruffling his hair again as he stood back up. He extended his hand down to help Roxas up, who ended up surprisingly close when he stood. Really, he wanted to the touch to linger, but he chided himself and pried away.
The beginning of their walk was fairly silent, save for the sound of the pebble skipping down the walk in front of them, being kicked between them.
"You're not going to be staying, are you?" Axel asked quietly. He didn't want to ask, for he knew the answer, but the words spilled from his lips, even so.
Roxas sadly shook his head. At first, he'd debating just leaving it at that, but then thought he should elaborate. "Sora is too well loved to rob people of that. While we are the two sides of the same coin . . . it's different, even so. Kairi and Riku couldn't handle him being gone." His words came soft, trying to ease them in.
"Even so," Roxas continued on, "I'll still make sure to spend time with you."
