Not so much a fairy tale. . .
A young blond was sitting at the back of the ball room on his own. He was waiting for the football team's captain and his two lakies to show up before he could sneak out the back door so no one would notice that he was gone from the crowd. Plus this way it would help the male not to be able to be picked on by the captain.
Nexanda was third in ranking. She was average with blond hair with the reddest eyes you would ever see, but she had a twin brother Sora. He had blue eyes and another difference was that he was much happier then her. Another difference was that Sora's hair was brown and all over the place in spikes. While Nexanda's hair was in long but was naturally straight.
In second came Demyx, Axel's best friend right from the beginning. His mullet was one-of-a-kind. Seriously it must of taken the guy YEARS to make it look like it dose. He used to captain of the swimming team, best swimmer in the WHOLE SCHOOL before he quit… for some un-known reason.
Then there was the captain… two words: Jerk & Pervert. I mean all you need to add at the beginning is biggest and then the description would be complete! Well… in Roxas' own opinion.
For example every lunch time Axel or one of the others in the team would trip Roxas up so his food would go all over himself. As soon as they started laughing he would run to the bathrooms not only to clean himself up but to also to whimper seeing that was the only place where he could cry at all.
Even though Roxas would never admit it in pubic he had a crush on the hot, spiky redhead like every other girl and most gay guys but he was not one to let his emotions to run wild.
Tonight under his long, black cloak he was wearing a deep red silk dress. This dress didn't cover one arm –left- and the opposite leg. Connected to each wrist and to the back of the silk like dress was a piece of material that created a wing like design. To keep the dress up two straps were connected over the shoulders and he wore a mask like most people that night.
The mask covered half of his face but all of his cheek flesh. It also covered up the birthmark on the right side of his face. Before he knew it the captain of the jerks walked though the door with his head held up high and his two lakies behind him. As usual there were many screaming females and their dates glaring at the trio.
As always they all stood out from the crowd and showed off how wealthy and snobby they were. Their costumes consisted of butterfly wings suited to their own personality. Nexanda had black and red wings which wore in a checkered sort of pattern which Roxas would have to say they were rather nice and new.
Demyx's wings were green and blue mixed together, which faded so it looked like the sea.
While Axel's were the most creative, hot and beautiful you would see –In Roxas' point of view. Black, red, orange, yellow and a hint of blue all mixed into one to create a fire pattern.
These wings were all connected to the back o the tuxedos they wore but Axel's jacket was actually a tail coat which made him stand out from the other two.
Roxas sighed now not really knowing what to do. He couldn't leave the place back his bestfriend was his only ride home because none of the buses were running this lat but he was happy that the team hasn't spotted him because he was sure that he would have been laughed at for wearing a dress. He got up and made his way to the punch table needing something to drink…
"You guys ready?" The redhead known as Axel asked his trio of friends.
"Sure" They both answered and shrugged not really caring at that moment in time. They could be a little more excited…Axel thought with a sigh. As they walked though the set of double doors they were greeted with most of the girls screaming, and few guys smirking –obviously gay- and they girl's dates glaring at the most popular, hot and cocky guys in the school.
Once he entered the room the three broke a part to find their dates –yes, Roxas and Nexanda both had more then one date for the night - while Axel was all alone because he didn't really have a date because his current girlfriend was out of town for the night so he thought he should be allowed to be let loose.
Once he was able to wave his way though the crowd a shy young lady approached the redhead seeing she also didn't have anyone to dance with. The woman had brown hair and blue eyes, much like a female version of Sora. Her dress didn't match her though, the cream dress was 'supposed' to make her look thinner then she already was but then again it did got well with her pale skin much like Axel's own.
When she asked for a dance with the football player, he was about to say yes when something black caught his eyes. Granted he could only see the back of the woman but he did like very much of what he could see over by the punch table. Her short blond hair was stunning to him and had him in a trance for a few seconds before snapping back into reality.
He then refused to dance with the woman in the cream dress who then ran to the toilet crying but he did a good thing… in his book anyway. He then fixed one of his most charming smiles, sorted out his wings and his coat before making his way to the blond.
Once he approached the blond he gently tapped the shorter one on the shoulder to ask. "Hello there. I was wondering if you'd like to dance?" He asked, almost biting his lower lip in nervousness but stopped himself, because that would totally look un-cool and kiddish. Instead he licked his red, dry lips.
The 'woman' turned around and almost glared at the redhead but there was that faint blush there… then again it could have been the lights…"Sorry, but i'm not interested" She almost spat but kept her cool walking away.
Axel stood there, stunned. No one had ever flat out refused him before and he was mad and curious, to say the least. "H-Hey, wait up!" He called, chasing after the blond who had just had turned him down rather harshly.
No one talks to ME like that first of all, and second of all, who does she think she is! The jock thought, finally catching back up to the blond and giving her an incredulous look. "Miss, please, it's just one dance...why won't you give me one dance? I'm sure your date wouldn't mind if I had one dance with you...please?" Axel asked, still trying to be polite, almost in a begging tone.
The woman sighed, replying again. "I'm sorry but i'm really not interested. And as for the date...I wish I had one…" She mumbled looking away from the football captain.
Some time during this conversation the music just oh so happen to change to a slow, romantic song which the redhead smiled widely at.
The prince held out his hand for the woman to take bowing down slightly. "Please...Just one dance." He whispered, giving off an actual genuine smile, then held curiosity, awe, and only a bit of playfulness in it. "I promise, one dance, and I'll leave you alone."
He looked up at the blond now noticing the piercing blue eyes she had. He could see something red underneath the black cloak but dismissed it thinking it was her bra when she began to speak again.
"Fine i'll dance with you... but there's only one problem... I can't dance... i've always been told I have two left feet" She said with a sigh taking the redhead's hand surprised by how soft it was. Girl in the background began to create a mass of cloud, –not really but you could feel a lot of – jealously in the room.
Axel's smile softened a bit as he noticed how cute this girl was and he nodded, grasping her hand and leading from the punch table onto the dance floor. "Hey, that's okay. Sometimes it just comes naturally to most people. Follow me and try to figure it out. Ok?" He instructed, finding a good spot and to pull the blond gently and close to him. He then placed a hand on her hip and the other on still holding the girl's hand. "Ready?" He asked hoping the song would last for a while.
The woman blushed a deep red before remembering something. "C-Could you just give me a moment? I-I'll be right back." She stuttered before running off and dropped off her black cloak over her chair. This showed everyone his red and black dress which revealed one of his pale and soft legs. His arms almost had wings that connected to the back of his dress and to the wrist of his arms. There was a white rose clipped to the strap to the left and walked back to the redheaded dancer. "Now i'm ready" She stated slowly going back into position that they were in before starting to dance, being rather fluid in his steps. Almost like she had done this before, like a natural.
Axel raised an eyebrow as his partner suddenly disappeared, only to have both raised with wide eyes when he saw her come back. He was stunned at the red dress that she was wearing and that to him she was the most beautiful creature he has seen for a while… even more so then his current 'girlfriend', Larxene. (She just thought that he was her boyfriend)
When the blond started dancing with him, he easily followed her, with a warm smile on his face, they both danced to the song. "And you said you couldn't dance. You liar." He said playfully with a grin, giving the other a twirl before re-grabbing her. "And you look gorgeous, by the way." He commented, holding her close.
The couple could feel the air around them getting rather hot as they continued to dance. The blond, short woman smiled a little in the captain's arms. "Thank you, and I would have to admit it, you do look nice yourself" She said now looking into the green eyes only to smile wider. She was trying to get rid of the thought that the man in the tux really did care for him because that was only giving herself false hope. Some couples watch the pair dance. Soon more and more gather in a ring around them but the couple didn't really care at that moment in time.
The jock smiled warmly, hand tightening around the blonde's to bring her closer for a moment before he spoke. "You...seem familiar. Have we met before? Do we have any classes together?" He asked, cocking his head to the side a bit before he noticed the crowd around them. He quickly decided to ignore them as he lifted his partner up by the waist, twirled them both around, to then placing her back down and continuing to dance.
"Umm N-No... We don't have classes together" Lie number one "I've never seen you before" Lie number two "So... can I know your name then?" Lie number three. She didn't know why she was lying but she thought that it would have been better then the jock knowing who she was. She continued to dance brilliantly with Axel almost in perfect harmony.
Axel smiled and chuckled as his partner stuttered finding it rather cute before nodding and answering. "Hm, well then, must just be me. My name's Axel! If you've ever heard of me before, I'm captain of the football team. But, unless you're into that, I doubt you know me." He admitted with a sigh and a shrug. "What's your name, miss?"
As Axel was talking they stood still looking in each other's eyes, she was taking in every detail. When he finished the clock ticked to midnight and female had to leave. "I'm sorry Axel, but I have to go. If i'm not home... well... again i'm sorry" She then had to run off into the now dancing crowd. She gulped soon grabbing her coat but dropping her phone in the process but thankfully for her it was locked with a pin code. She then ran outside looking for Cloud.
Axel frowned when his partner said she had to leave. He was stunned when the blond suddenly dashed for the exit. "Wait! I don't even know you're name!" He called out, running after his partner as fast as he could, but easily lost track of her. "D-Damn it!" He cursed, looking around the snack table until he saw a phone on the ground. "Hm...I wonder whose this is." Axel murmured, picking it up and flipping it open, hoping to maybe find out and return it to said person.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x
"Roxas! Over here!" Cloud called, waving from where he was in the car. He quickly opened the other door, waiting for his friend to get inside. Roxas quickly dashed into the car, who immediately instructed Cloud to start driving. "Thank for the ride Cloud, but could I be stopped off at work?" 'She' asked not really wanting to talk about anything else.
"Uhm, alright Rox. But you NEED to tell me everything that happened later, okay? I want to know, EVERYTHING." Cloud stated, fixing a look that held no other options for Roxas as he drove off.
Roxas mean while sighed. "Nothing happened Cloud, I was only sitting at the back of the room as normal... I have no idea why you even dragged me anyway." Roxas then looked at the other cars passing by.
"Rox...? Was it really that awful? I only dragged you because I thought you'd end up having fun in the end! I'm sorry..." Cloud apologized, feeling rather bad for what he did now.
Roxas then sighed searching for his phone. "C-Cloud...I dropped my phone" He said worriedly.
"W-what? You mean back at prom? Maybe someone found it. I'm sure they'll turn it in. We can go get it tomorrow." Cloud suggested with a shrug, not really thinking that it was THAT important of who picked it up.
"But i'm sure Axel pick it up" Roxas said worriedly, looking over at Cloud, biting his bottom lip.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Man, you know that girl you were dancing with, I'm pretty sure that it is her's" Nexanda pointed out watching the whole thing from the back, out of the way. Nexanda was the kind of person that would help with any relationship as soon as she saw one.
Axel looked up at Nexanda and hummed in thought. "Maybe… Thanks, Nex. Damn, she was certainly something. Anyway, what about you? Did you find anyone worth while in here tonight?" He asked, with a smirk back on his face as he pocketed the phone.
"Not really, but I think Zexion is getting jealous because Demyx is dancing with others but then again... if we are all gay… really need to keep it on a need to know basis... you know what people are like these days..." Nexanda mumbled, shaking her head.
Axel nodded and chuckled a bit. "Damn, I know, people are so judgmental these days! I don't see what's so wrong about being gay, those bastards. But, I did dance with that girl. Now...go run along. I'll find some other woman to woo." He suggested, heading back into the crowd.
Nexanda sighed and placed a hand on Axels shoulder, stopping him for a moment. "Axel think, she first flat out refused to dance with you but then changed her mind. You danced... didn't you FEEL any connection? Any at all?" She asked wondering if his captain was really a cold hearted as they say.
Axel blinked, a bit shocked by what his friend had done. "I mean...what connection are we talking about here? I'd love to see her again...if that means anything. She intrigued me. I'd love to spend more time with her. But what does it matter? I know nothing of her. Not a name...I mean I know what she looks like...vaguely. But really, why have a connection with someone you can't reach?" The redhead asked before turning and heading back into the throng of dancers.
Nexanda followed Axel into the crowd knowing he could still hear her. "But you could try and find her using the phone you picked up. If you say that you found the phone tomorrow at school and then the girl that picks it up would most likely be you date tonight, and BAM you have yourself a REAL girlfriend, I mean, you guys had somethin' there, try and find her" Nexanda pushed Axel on hoping he wouldn't give up so easily because if she knew her captain… Axel would go to any lengths to try and get the woman he wanted.
Axel blinked and turned around, to fix his eyes on Nexanda's. Sighing he pulled out the phone to only frown. "It has a lock. Guess I'll just ask about it at school tomorrow. Until then...let's have fun!" The redhead shouted, putting the phone away in his jacket pocket, as he searched for someone else to dance with.
Nexanda sighed and shook her head giving up on the redhead but smiled and went to see how Demyx was doing
Axel just decided to blend in with everyone, wanting to forget everything in that moment, accept for the girl he had danced with. He would of loved to know her name, maybe then he could of met her at school the next day to not only give her, her phone back but to possibly get another kiss off her sweet, tender lips.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Cloud raised an eyebrow. "Axel? The JOCK Axel? Why would he have it?" He said still trying to concentrate on the road.
"He would have it... because I might of danced with him... and ... I had to run before he got my name... and he might of picked it up...But yes... the football jock, Axel" Roxas sighed remembering that Axel was calling him a her and he was likely to meet him at the diner because the was a popular place for the teenagers to go.
"You...you danced with AXEL?" Cloud shouted, eyes wide as he stop in front of the diner/restaurant that Roxas worked at. "Oh my God, how did you do that? Is he a good dancer? Come on, I want to know, please?" Cloud asked with a curious and shocked look on his face.
"Well to start with he thought I was a girl, he asked me to dance but he continued to ask even though I said no twice... and why would you want to know if he's a good dancer? You already have a boyfriend" Roxas said with a smirk before getting out the car, slamming the door shut. "Well... i'll see you at school tomorrow!" He said running into the restaurant to up to his room on top of the restaurant.
"Boyfriend be damned! I just want to know!" Cloud shouted out the car with a laugh before turning and heading back home. "Still...how'd he score AXEL?" He asked himself "This could be interesting…"
Roxas quickly got changed into his work uniform and then down stairs to help everyone in the café. His step mother was out with his brothers to most likely pick them up from the dance that Roxas was supposed to be banned to go to. It was open late tonight because of the prom, which meant extra cash for the restaurant because the teenagers like Roxas loved to go to the restaurant. Everyone soon left but the cook and Roxas stayed seeing he live upstairs of the restaurant.
Roxas' job was to clean the tables and greet the customers like the low life he was often called as, but his bestfriend Cloud…
x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Axel found a few more girls to dance the night away with, until the place began to close up. He started to search for his friends, knowing Demyx especially, would easily get lost in the school.
As Axel found Demyx, Nexanda found Axel and asked. "Hey you both want to go to the Destiny restaurant? To get some decent food?" She asked with a grin walking out with them
"Sure! I could use some food!" Axel stated, wrapping his arms around both his friend's shoulders and leading them out of the building. "And besides, I'm tired of this place, anyway. And this costume is getting itchy." He complained, and took his jacket off.
"It looks good though!" Demyx protested and they all got in Nexanda's car who then began to drive off.
"I know it looks good, Demyx! But God, I'm all hot and sweaty, and it itches!" Axel stated again, laughing as he ruffled up Demyx's hair.
"So are we!" Both Nexanda and Demyx grinned and soon Nexanda parked the car and Roxas waited for the next lot to come in not expecting Axel group but knew they would make fun at him like always.
Axel rolled his eyes at his friends as they walked into the restaurant, looking around and finding an empty table to sit at. "Come on guys, I found a place to sit!" He announced, walking over and plopping onto the booth with a grin.
Roxas sighed knowing this couldn't go well but still he had to do his job unless he wanted to be on the streets due to his stepmother throwing him out. He walked up to the jocks and smiled a fake smile. "Hello and welcome to the Destiny Restaurant, I'm Roxas, how may I help you?" He asked getting the note pad out to take orders.
"Oh look, it's waiter boy!" Axel shouted, giving Roxas a roll of his eyes and laughed. "I'll just have a burger and a coke, blondie." He ordered with a laugh and a scoff. "We'll take the same." Both Nexanda and Demyx stated before laughing into more laughter. "Chop Chop!" They all said in unison with a bright loud laugh.
"If only you knew…" Roxas mumbled before walking away with their orders. He yelled "Three burgers and cokes!" He then grabbed the three coke cans not bothering to get glasses seeing they never use them. "Here's you coke's, enjoy" He said with another smile before sitting opposite to them waiting for their burgers with his back face Axel. "I'll wonder if he'll recognize me..." He said with a sigh to himself know that was probably never going to happen.
The three men grabbed their cokes and popped them open. The red haired one started jugging his down before he whined. "Hey, blondie! Can I get a cup of ice? This stuff isn't even cold!" He commanded, waving his can in the air annoying.
Roxas let his head drop to hit against the table top before leaning over the edge grabbing a cup and swooped the cup in the ice box and stood up passing the cup of ice quickly to Axel. "Anything else oh football captin? Demyx? Nexanda?" He asked in order with his sad blue eyes and the song switched to the same one at the prom when they danced….
To be continued… maybe… if you want it to continue with a lemon at the end I want at least 5 reviews! Thanks!
