I think that what I love most about the Seasalt trio is just how balanced they are

Axel and Roxas and Xion never fail to express how much they care about each other.

Like Axel telling Roxas that he AND Xion are his best friends, and then reiterating the same thing to Xion

“It’s just not right without all three of us” is what Xion says when Axel can’t make it to the Clocktower

And then “Axel’s your best friend” “You are, too”

There’s never a lack of love for each other. No two are considered closer. Roxas and Xion could have easily been posed as romantic with Axel being left as a third wheel. But instead there’s just this constant affirmation of their relationship and how much they care about each other.
