Releasing a sigh of content, Axel stretched his arms and legs while relaxing in his bathtub. By midday, Axel felt more than a little awkward as Makoto and Sae reminisced about their childhood.

They talked about all sorts of memories they had with their father, memories Axel didnt feel he had the right to know. Luckily for him, both girls were too into their conversation to notice him exit the room.

Afterwards, Axel drew himself a bath in an attempt to relax. While relaxing, Axel began to think over the plan he and the other Phantom thieves came up with.

With a school assembly coming up this Friday, Axel and the others planned to 'attack' Kamoshida on Wednesday.

His hope for this was that Kamoshida would have enough time to sort himself out and would confess during the assembly.

Obviously, there were hundreds of ways for the school to cover this up and for once, Axel actually wanted them to.

He wanted to draw attention to the Phantom thieves but at the same time, he needed to make sure that they didn't draw too much attention or risk speeding up the natural timeline.

Sighing in frustration, Axel slipped further into his bath as he attempted, and failed, to use magic. Not being able to use magic was far worse than he remembered.

After spending weeks in the forest, fighting off monsters of all shapes and sizes, Axel found his inability to use magic concerning.

Was this how it was going to be in every world? Losing all his abilities, while only being able to use abilities from that world? Abilities he'd have to either buy or learn?

What if he ended up in the 'DragonBall Z' universe? Without his magical abilities, Axel would be nothing more than a slightly stronger human. He'd be completely helpless in a world were people(saiyans) could blow up the planet.

Sighing once more, Axel pushed these concerning thoughts to the back of his mind.

'Man, it's so easy to just get lost in thought when your having a bath…' Mused Axel as another content sigh left his mouth.

After a few more minutes of doing nothing, Axel decided he was done relaxing. He scrubbed himself down before slowly getting out if the tub. He shivered slightly when he left the water but continued nonetheless.

However, right as he got out of the bathtub, the bathroom door swung open as, not just one but two people entered the room.

Axel froze, as naked as the day he was born. Makoto, bless her heart, didn't scream. She blankly stared at a certain area for a few seconds before taking a long, deep breath.

After a couple seconds, her face exploded into a deep red blush as she stumbled out of the bathroom.

Sae, on the other hand, let her eyes roam free across Axel's body as she silently cursed every few seconds.

Obviously, her face was slowly turning red but that didn't really matter as she still kept her poker face. Once she was done 'inspecting' him, Sae calmly stared at Axel's face and said, "I'm going out to grab a few things. Is there anything you wanted me to grab for you?"


Axel finally had enough motor control back to slowly shake his head. Sae smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be back soon." Before making her way to the door.

However, just as she was halfway through the door, Sae paused. Then, she turned back and greedily let her eyes drink in the sight of Axel's body once more.

In an attempt to hide what little he had left of his modesty, Axel cupped his hands over his crotch. Sadly, Axel could only curse his oversized member as he found it impossible to cover up.

With a gleam in her eyes, Sae continued out the door with a sway in her hips as she seductively muttered, "Thanks for the show, 'Big boy'~."

A peal of soft, sensual laughter rang out through the hallway as Axel turned into a bright red mess.

After the whole 'bathroom' debacle, Axel hastily dressed himself before making his way to the lounge. Taking a deep breath, Axel steeled himself before pushing forward.

As he expected, the moment he entered the room, Makoto's face turned as red as a strawberry, her eyes frantically looking around the room in an attempt to stop herself from focusing on his crotch.

She stuttered all over the place, biting her tongue a couple times before she finally managed to squeeze out the words, "…I'm sorry."

Axel coughed, trying to erase the awkward feeling in his heart as he said, "Oh, ah… It's fine, Makoto. I should've locked the door. I'm just so used to living by myself that I forgot to lock it. I'm just sorry you had to see my… *cough* *cough*."

"No! It's fine, really. Plus, I actually enjoyed the view…" Replied Makoto, whispering the last part so low that not even Axel could hear her.

With an awkward air drifting between the pair, Axel softly sighed before flashing Makoto a bright smile as he said, "So, how about a snack?"

A shy nod from Makoto was all Axel needed as he took off into the kitchen. Since Sae was due to return, Axel decided to make her a share as well.

He wasn't looking to make anything overly fancy, just some sandwiches and juice. Axel quickly got out the ingredients and was about to start when he felt someone tug his shirt.

What greeted him was a flushed Makoto. Her cheeks were bright red, almost matching the shade of her eyes as she gave Axel an upturned looked and asked, "Would it be alright if I helped you, Axel?"

Axel had to mentally hold himself back from hugging the adorable cinnamon roll in front of him as he opted to give her a smile and a nod. Makoto's eyes lit up as she quickly washed her hands before coming back.

The pair spent the next half hour, making sandwiches and messing around. At one point, Axel caught Makoto secretly nibbling on a sandwich. Axel didn't try to stop her as he silently moved next to her and took a big bite out of the sandwich.

Makoto's face when she realised what happened was priceless. First, she glared angrily at him and pouted. Then, she gave the crumbs on her fingers a sad look. Finally, her face lit up like a Christmas tree as she realised that they just shared an indirect kiss.

Axel chuckled at her rapid fire expressions and apologized for eating her sandwich. He explained to her that since she was nibbling on it, the sandwich must have been good so he wanted to give it a try.

Anyone could see that Axel was just trying to tease her by acting innocent. Even though Makoto knew this, she acted like she believed him and nodded. She would've gotten away with it, if not for the growing blush on her face.

Anyway, after all the teasing and sandwich making, the awkward air between them had disappeared, being replaced by a happy mood. Makoto smiled as she helped lay the dishes they made out onto the table.

Axel, putting the finishing touches on the last batch of sandwiches, glanced at Makoto and blurted out, "You'd make a good wife, Makoto."

Makoto froze as the cutlery in her hands dropped to the floor. Axel quickly realised what he just said and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean to-"

However, before he could finish apologizing, the words he wanted to say became stuck in his throat as Makoto turned to face him.

There was something both seductive and chaste about her blushing face that made him gulp. She twirled her bangs between her finger as she muttered, "D-Do you really think so?"

Axel felt a small fire light up inside him as he nodded, "Y-Yeah. I think you'd be a great wife and that you'll make someone very happy in the future."

After Axel said his piece, an awkward silence pervaded the room as both teens refused to look at each other.

Suddenly, the door swung open as Sae burst into the room, a wide smile on her face as she happily said, "I'm back~ You two didn't get… into any… trouble, did you?"

Sae could practically taste the awkwardness in the air as she gave a dry chuckle, "Did… something actually happen while I was gone?"
