candy. there was no greater way to a kids heart. well there was no greater way to most kids hearts. he had owled his sister a few days before wanting to know when the next hogsmeade trip was and she had told him, so he was hoping to surprise his youngest brother in the store. if not he'd hunt the town high and low for five minutes of time with his brother. they weren't all that close, which pained luke. he wanted to be close to all his siblings no matter how much they bickered, family was important. he'd realized that even more so after the attack on kings cross where fellow aurors had lost their lives. he decided to give his brother five more minutes to show his face at the candy shop before he'd go looking for him somewhere else.

Hogsemeade! Axel was honestly so excited for the chance to get out of school for a day. Honestly he loved school, but sometimes it seemed a bit crowded. Especially lately. Ever since the other schools joined them things were busy and crowded and Axel just wanted a bit of space. So today he was going to get it. As early as he could, he rushed off to the school, excited to have this day for himself. Normally he would have asked Chloe if she wanted to do something with him, or gotten a group of his friends together, but not today. He had plans. First stop was the candy store. Then he would head off to Zonko's to get some more supplies. After that, he'd have to come up with something.

He walked into Honeydukes and went straight for the chocolate frogs. He knew people might make fun of him for it, but he didn't care. Chocolate frogs were a definite weakness of his and he was running low. He had to fill up his stash. He didn't even look around himself when he walked into the store. To anyone watching, he was obviously on a mission.

luke chuckled when he saw axel walk into the store, obviously on a mission and too engrossed in it to notice him. well now was the perfect time to let him know he was here. what his brother wanted to buy was on him today. he snuck around one of the aisles and grinned a little, moving to wrap his little brother in a bear hug from behind. "fancy meeting you here!" he said loudly with a laugh and he moved to ruffle the dark mop on his brother's head affectionately.

Axel jumped when he felt someone hugging him from behind, but then he heard his brother's voice. He pulled away from his brother, spinning around with a wide smile on his face. He rarely got to see Luke, so opportunities like this were very important to him. "Luke! What are you doing here?" he asked, unable to stop smiling. He'd probably keep on smiling until his brother left. It was a side-effect of seeing his older brother. Even though Luke was graduated and an auror, Axel still felt like they were pretty close with one another.

"Luke! What are you doing here?" he grinned and rolled his eyes. "well i thought i'd come get some candy .. maybe see the sights" he said as he clapped his little brother on the shoulder lightly. "i came to see you of course!" he said with a grin and he stepped back from his brother quickly. "so lets say you finish finding what you want, i'll buy. then we can go do something?" he asked with a chuckled as he looked about the store.

Axel made a face at Luke's sarcastic answer before smiling widely when his brother said he really came to see him. "Oh yeah!" he called out, excited. His brother time with Lucas was slowly decreasing every once in a while, but Axel still felt like they were pretty close and really enjoyed talking with his brother. 

He shrugged, "All I need are some Chocolate Frogs. I can never have too many of these things," he admitted easily. It wasn't like this was news to anyone in his family. "What do you want to do? And don't say I can choose, because Chloe makes me choose every time we do something together, so I don't want to make the decision this time." Axel smiled to show he wasn't bitter, but he was kind of serious. All he really wanted was to talk with his brother and since they could do that no matter where they went, he didn't care what they did.

"All I need are some Chocolate Frogs. I can never have too many of these things," he grinned as he looked at the stockpile of chocolate frogs on the shelf in front of them. if his little brother wanted chocolate frogs then chocolate frogs is what he'd get. with a wink and a big grin toward axel lucas lifted the basket he had in his hands up to the shelf and took most of the frogs from the shelf. "think that's be enough?" he asked with a grin as he stepped back from the shelf and turned toward the aisle. "What do you want to do? And don't say I can choose, because Chloe makes me choose every time we do something together, so I don't want to make the decision this time." he thought about it for a moment then snapped his fingers. "how about we find a teacher and ask if i can take you back to my place for the day, if i promise to get you back to school by dinnertime. we can get some junk food and look through my chocolate frog cards and you can see if you want any?" he asked. he had been collecting them for years, often just keeping the cards and giving the frog to his brother but he thought it was probably time to cull his collection a little.

Axel was thrilled. The chance to spend some time with his older brother was twenty times better than getting a million chocolate frogs. But ... since his brother was offering to get the for him, he wasn't going to argue with that. "Yeah, that's probably good," he gave a sly grin to his brother as he started heading to the register. Now that Lucas was here, all Axel wanted to do was spend some time with him. 

Luke told him he had to choose and Axel's mouth fell open. "She does that to me too," he argued, "Why can't we just come up with something that we both want to do?" Then Luke came up with an idea. "Do you think they'd let me?" He asked, thrilled at the idea of leaving with his brother. Not necessarily for the cards, either. What Axel really wanted was to spend some time with Luke and talk to him. It wasn't something that they got to do often. "That sounds awesome!" He added, probably a little too enthusiastically. He waited, expecting to get teased.

"Do you think they'd let me? That sounds awesome!" luke shrugged a little and looked at his little brother with a grin. he hoped they would. it was a weekend and the kids were already signed out of the school and if it was a problem he could always send a message to his parents in order to get permission for axel to come with him. "well there is only one way to find out isn't there! lets find a teacher" he said as he moved to head out of the store after they had finished buying the chocolate frogs. stepping out of the store he spotted calex jakebson. he looked back at axel and grinned. "wait here, i'll go see" he said as he hurried over to the man he had worked with before the older male had left the auror ranks to become a teacher. he got the okay to take axel, so long as he promised to have him back by the time dinner finished. he said goodbye to calex and hurried back to axel. "lets go" he said as he held his hand out to axel so he could sidelong apparate back to his apartment with him.

As he was left standing outside of Honeydukes, staring at Luke while he talked to a teacher, Axel shook his head disbelieving. This was actually happening, right? It just seemed like something he would dream about. Really, he wanted to be close to all his siblings like he was with Chloe, but they were all so much older than him and all so far away that it wasn't even close to a reality. Add in the fact that they all saw him as a kid, and it wasn't as good as he wanted it to be. But Luke? Luke was different. Sure, he had his own job and life, but sometimes he took time out of it to spend just with Axel, which meant a lot to him. 

Axel's mouth fell open when Luke came back saying he got permission. "All right!" He exclaimed enthusiastically, taking Luke's hand without a second thought. He couldn't wait to just spend some time with his older brother, away from everyone else. He couldn't wait for what was about to happen.
