Intro
Roxas was waiting for the traffic light to turn green. The weather was incredibly hot and his shopping bags really heavy. But, above all, there were annoying people waiting next to him. The most annoying one was Axel.
He was a tall red head with spiky hair, flashy goth-punk clothes, and even make-up. He was laughing together with Demyx and Zexion, that shared his taste for clothes. Roxas gave them a disgusted look, wondering which of the two was Axel's new boyfriend.
'Gays' Roxas thought, in disapproval. He couldn't stand them.
Axel noticed his stare and winked at him. Roxas averted his eyes, feeling even more disgusted.
The traffic light turned green and, after crossing the road, he started walking as fast as he could to keep a safety distance from the gay trio. Luckily, he was easily able to leave them behind. Not that they wanted to follow him, tough.
He arrived home soon after.
"I'm home!" he shouted, opening the door with his elbow "Here's the shopping!"
His mother, Aqua, was a workaholic, so he often was the one who went shopping. And who cooked, did the laundry...
"Thank you dear!" she shouted back from her bedroom "I'm coming in a minute...or maybe two...start putting everything in the fridge, please..."
Roxas could hear a typing sound coming from the bedroom. She just wasn't able to leave a task unfinished. He started to put things away.
His mother had been working really hard since his father left. He didn't even remember him, he was in kindergarten when it happened. He abandoned them to live with another man.
That's why he thought that gay people were disgusting.
He had seen how depressed his mother was, so he couldn't forgive that man. Just the thought of him made Roxas mad. He squeezed a loaf of bread before shoving it in the kitchen pantry. Since Aqua had always been busy with her job, he learned to do things by himself and to look after her, too. It was like she lived in her own world.
"Have you had lunch today?" he asked, even though he already knew the answer
"Um...no, but why? What time is it?"
He shook his head and started to slice some bread to make sandwiches. It was too late to make something else, and he had a lot of homework to do.
"It's half past four...and it's your day off today! Why don't we watch TV together after I'm done with my homework?" he suggested, while putting the sandwiches on a plate
She didn't dislike spending time with him, but he had to insist and to convince her to take a break from work. Roxas took a bottle of water from the shopping bag and a glass.
"How about watching a film and eating popcorns?"
He opened the bedroom's door with the elbow and put the food on his mother's desk.
She looked at him and smiled.
"What would I do without you, dear?"
Roxas smiled back. It was the right moment for convincing her to take a break.
"You'll watch a film with me? Promise?"
She nodded happily and waited for him to go out of the room before restart working.
Roxas sat down at the kitchen's table. He preferred to do his homework there rather than in his room, his desk was too small. He started to look at the math's book and found himself spacing out soon after. It was too difficult to understand! He sighed and leafed through the book.
He could have asked Namine for help.
Namine was one of his classmates: she was really kind, good at math and he had a crush on her. Homework was always a perfect excuse to call her.
While he was still thinking about it and trying to overcome his shyness, the phone rang.
He heard his mother answering. She talked with that person for a long time, so he had no choice but doing his homework without Namine's help.
She was still at the phone when he started to prepare dinner, and this worried him a bit. He was quite sure she made two calls after receiving that first one.
Finally, she came out her room. She was really pale.
"Um, are you ok mum?" Roxas asked
She gave him an incomprehensible look.
"Roxas, I have a news for you."
And, from the expression on her face, he could understand it wasn't a good one.
Review it, please! =D
