With a final swing of his keyblade, Roxas finished off the group of ghost-like Heartless that had taken over Halloween Town, dropped his keyblade and clutched his right shoulder and squeezed his eyes shut as the muscles in that area of his body seized up, causing him great pain.

"Agh...ow..." he grunted, picking up his keyblade, which then dematerialized, "Why did this have to happen?"

"I don't know, you tell me."

Roxas turned around and was face to face with none other than Axel, his partner for this mission, who had a bit of a smirk on his face. "Ugh..." was all he could say in response.

Axel's smirk widened, "You look like you're in a lot of pain," he said, "I could help, you know."

Roxas sighed, "Axel, you're a pyromancer, not a healer," he said bluntly, wincing from the pain.

Axel raised an eyebrow, "Not a healer, huh? Listen, Roxas. I'm going to prove to you that I can help you recover from this," he stated, before winking at the blue-eyed boy.

Roxas' stomach flip-flopped, "How...are you going to do that?"

Axel grinned,"You really want to know?"

Roxas nodded, his cheeks turning slightly red, "Yeah."

"Okay, then. Follow me, Roxas."

And with that, the two left Halloween Town via the portal to the right of them.

"Sit down," Axel commanded gently, pointing to the bed in front of him.

Roxas blushed and complied, taking his seat.

Axel placed both of his hands on Roxas' shoulder and he immediately tensed up.

"Axel, what the hell do you think you're doing?" Roxas snapped, his eyes widening as he felt a sudden warming sensation in his shoulder area.

Axel chuckled, "Relax, man. It's just a massage. With heat."

"Wait, you can heat up your hands?" Roxas asked, a befuddled expression gracing his features.

Axel grinned, "Yep. Pyromancers can do that," he replied, "Anyway, this will help you tremendously."

"Really, Axel?"

"Of course."

Roxas sighed and laid on his stomach, his face turning a dark shade of red due to the thought of this type of contact with Axel. Sure, they had been going out for awhile, but this was a bit much.

Soon enough, Roxas felt Axel's warm hands rub his hurt shoulder.

"Axel this-oh man-this feels so good," Roxas said as a giant wave of euphoria engulfed him.

Axel smirked to himself as he felt Roxas relax a little under his touch. He could tell that the blond was in pain: the muscles around his shoulder were very, very stiff. So, he carefully rubbed and applied pressure to those muscles, earning a little groan from his boyfriend.

Roxas' eyes closed as he felt Axel massage away all of the unpleasant aches and pains in his muscles. Every now and then, he would moan or sigh contentedly.

"Feeling any better?" Axel asked as he lifted his hands off of Roxas.

"Mmm...yeah," Roxas replied, "I feel great."

"You know," Axel whispered seductively, "I could give you a full-body massage."

Roxas smiled lazily, before he realized what he had just heard, "You...you know how to give a full-body massage?" he asked, his entire face turning red.

Axel smirked, "Yep. You want it?"

"Y-Yeah..." Roxas stuttered.

"Okay, then. Take off your cloak and whatever else you have on," Axel ordered.

"W-what?" Roxas exclaimed.

"I can't give you a full-body massage if I don't make any contact with your body," Axel said, raising an eyebrow.

Roxas groaned, "Fine...but don't try anything funny."

"I won't, Roxas. I promise," Axel agreed, winking, "By the way, you are in for a treat-I'm going to make every part of you feel good."
