Stepsiblings: Day 05 - Kissing (rough draft)

Summary:  Little kids and PDA don't mix well....

A/N:  I can't decide if this is AU or not....

Rox is 5 and Xi is 6.  Or 6 and 7, I'm not sure.  Whatever.  I'll just let you read the story now. *sweatdrop*

Saïx was just putting his wallet away and Axel was turning  from the counter with their ice creams gripped precariously in his hands  when Roxas said solemnly, "Look, Axel.  They're having sex."

Luckily, the one Axel dropped was the sea-salt bar wrapped in plastic  packaging, which Saïx caught with lightning-quick reflexes.  "Don't  waste my money," he growled at his red-haired brother.

"What?" Axel gasped at Roxas.

Xion pointed.  Across the ice cream parlor, a young couple by the window  were leaning across the table toward each other, kissing.

"Th-They're not having sex, Roxas!"

"Yes, they are," the little boy said stubbornly.  "Gene said that sex is  when you slobber on each other's mouths.  He said his brother and his  girlfriend do it all the time."

"Ew," said Xion.

"Can we please talk about this somewhere else?" Saïx said in a pained  voice, glancing at the giggling cashier.  "Or even better, not talk  about it at all...."

"Let's go find a table far away from everyone," Axel said, which they  did.  Then he gave a resigned sigh and tried to explain.  He could sense Saïx cringing beside him the entire time.

Afterward, Xion said unhappily, "Kissing's more complicated than I thought."

Roxas was thinking about it, looking dubious.  "So you're supposed to kiss girls you like?"

"Yup," Axel said.

"If you get permission first," Saïx added.

"Oh.  Xion, can I get permission?"

"Okay," she agreed readily.  "What for?"

Roxas started leaning his face close to hers.

"Ack!" Axel managed to yank him back before they could touch.  "You're not supposed to kiss your own sister, Roxas!"

"But you just said to kiss girls you like!  I like Xion."

"You're not allowed to kiss your brothers and sisters?" Xion said in dismay.

Axel wanted to headdesk.  "Like I said, there's different kinds of kissing.  If you like a girl in a way where you want to date her, that's when you can kiss her on the lips."

"For the record, you two are far too young to develop affections of that sort," Saïx said with a frown.

"Anyway, and for your family and stuff, you can kiss them on the cheek or the forehead or whatever."

"Like kissing good night?"

"Yeah, like kissing good night."

"What about butterfly kisses?" Xion inquired anxiously.

"Yeah, butterfly kisses are fine."

"What are butterfly kisses?" Saïx said warily.

Axel and Xion grinned at each other at the same time.  She scrambled  into his chair and fluttered her eyelashes against his cheek.

"That's butterfly kissing," he explained to their brothers.  Saïx stared  at them as if they had just announced that they were from another  planet.

"I want butterfly kissing," Roxas demanded, and was readily obliged.

"Your turn, Sai-Sai!" Xion declared.

Saïx stood up so hastily that he nearly knocked his chair over.  "I'm going to go buy some more ice cream."

"But what about your butterfly kisses?!"

He whirled and stalked rapidly away.

"Oi, Sai!"

"YOU NEED KISSES, TOO."

"Sai-Sai, come baaack...!"
