*Axel whispers in your ear* "I'll handle this. Just stand here and look cute, okay?"

*He takes a deep breath and looks away again. He's not sure how you're going to react to this. He takes another deep breath and then looks back at you.* "I've been keeping a secret from you."

*He looks at you and his eyes are full of fear. He's not sure if he should tell you or not. He takes another deep breath and then finally speaks.* "I'm not exactly... human."

*emi looks at him, confused. He's not sure what he means by that. He's always thought Axel was just a normal guy. What could he possibly mean by that?*

*The coach on the other team was screaming at the guy who pushed you because you got to get three shots for how aggressive the push was. You were laying on the floor, you couldn't get up because you were hurt so badly. You feel like you sprained your ankle, it hurt so bad. Axel came and stood over you, his legs on either side of you as he towered over you. He looked down at you, while speaking in a low tone* "You okay, shortstuff?" *He grabs your arms and picks you up* "You fell hard there."

*He groans in pain, clearly hurt badly* "I-I'm fine, it's just a sprained ankle."

*He rolls his eyes, then he picks you up bridal style, walking over to the sidelines. He sits you down on the bench, then he kneels down to your ankle, and he feels it. He notices that it's definitely sprained. He sighs* "Well, you're gonna be out of commission for a while."

*The coach blows his whistle and the game starts again. You get up and walk to the free throw line, you're limping and your ankle is killing you. The coach calls out to you* "Just make it, shortie. We'll win this thing."
