A/N: Hello! This is my first fanfiction, but I hope you guys will like it!
Disclamer: Sadly, as much as I would like to, I don not own Kingdom Hearts.
You could actually say the blond haired, blue eyed boy staring out of his second story bedroom window was actually surprised. After a year, someone was finally moving in next door to Roxas, and he was glad. It had been lonely since the old married couple that had lived there had moved out. Well, at least the old woman had after her husband's death. That had been a sad day. Roxas had never actually talked to the elder couple, but he was always constantly a part of their lives, even if they had no knowing about it.
So the fact that three teenage boys were now unpacking their truck of boxes and putting them into the house was a real shocker to him. He couldn't help but hope that they liked the garden that the old woman had planted. He had tried so hard to keep it neat. He never once was caught sneaking back there.
Roxas also couldn't help but admire all of them. There was a blond with a Mohawk who always had a joke to share that would make his buddies burst into laughter. Then there was a boy with bluish silver hair, it fell into his face a lot but he always caught the look he would give the blond, like he wanted to just randomly blurt out 'I love you' or something. Then there was a tall lanky redhead. Roxas couldn't help himself. His eyes were distracted by him because his hair wasn't the hair of normal redhead. No, this hair was fire engine red and fell about his shoulders in spikes.
While Roxas studied the redhead, he felt eyes upon him and looked over to see the boy with the bluish silver hair looking at him. He gave a yelp of surprise and jumped back from his window, tripping over his own two feet and landing on his bum. He scolded himself. How could he have been so stupid? He should have known better then to stay there and watch that long. He sighed sitting agents the wall, but still couldn't help but smile.
The next day for Roxas was normal as usual. He got up, got dressed, tried to comb his unruly hair, brushed his teeth, and then grabbed his skateboard, praying to whatever god there was that he could sneak out of the house without his dad seeing him. He'd then jump on his skateboard and make his way to school. He noticed that his new neighbors were climbing into the car they had unloaded the day before.
He continued on, tuning them out. He didn't want to get caught looking at them again. That would make him look like a stalker. He held the sleeves to his sweater down as he glided down the sidewalk. Within a couple minuets he was coming up to the school, dreading having to walk through the front doors. He knew that as soon as he walked through the doors to his locker, he'd get the stares, the whispers behind his back. He sort of knew that they were all in his head, but it still felt like that. Like they all knew the secret he was keeping.
He rushed to his locker and as soon as he got though the combination and ripped open the door, sticking his head in, he felt better. He shoved his backpack in, emptying the books and grabbing his binder.
"Roxas," He heard a voice talk to him. He looked over to see a very bored teacher standing there. Behind him was a sight that made Roxas freeze. It was the smiling form of the redhead from next door. The teacher continued to speak.
"This boy is new here and happens to be your class twin." He said, referring to the fact that this school had this weird system where two students had the same exact class schedule. Roxas hadn't had had a partner but now he guessed he did… Once again the teacher talked. "I would like you to show him around as well as help him get caught up in the classes," the teacher said then left them. The redhead leaned agent the locker next to Roxas', still smiling.
"So, what's your name" he asked after he figured he wasn't going to get anything out of Roxas. Roxas just looked at him, which made the redhead smile more. "A little slow huh? Well, my name's Axel. Got it memorized?" he asked, leaning in close.
"Roxas" he stammered as an answer. Axel looked at him wired, which made Roxas blush then he added, "My name. It's Roxas."
"Awesome!" Axel said with a smile. Roxas closed his locker and started walking down the hall, the redhead fallowing. The blond managed to get them to their first class, Axel actually silent behind him. Of course, the whole time Roxas thought Axel was judging him so he just kept quiet. When they walked into class, Axel was sat next to him, which made Roxas even more nerves. But what really topped it all off was when he lost the tall redhead after class. 'I mean really, how could I have lost him?' he thought, looking all around him.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" a voice asked and then Roxas found himself being slammed into the wall, looking straight up at Seifer. "What's wrong peewee, running away from someone else who found out about your homoness?"
"Th-that's not a word!" Roxas blurted out. This earned him a punch in the face.
"I hate nerds, and to top it all off, you're a homo. Isn't this great? We were meant to meet Roxas, just so I can beat the crap out of you," Seifer taunted him, pulling back his fist to punch him again, but just then, someone caught his hand, a low voice cold and threatening.
"I'd step away from him if I were you," Axel said. Even big bad Seifer knew when to back down, so, dropping Roxas, he and his gang took off down the hall muttering something about how it was unfair that homo nerds had backups.
The blond couldn't look up at his savior. How much had he heard? "Hey," Axel called softly. But Roxas still couldn't raise his gaze to meet his. "Come one Roxas, look at me will ya?"He said encouragingly. Roxas slowly looked up, meeting Axels' emerald eyes. Was that a pitting look he caught from the redhead boy? No way, not after that mishap.
"You ok?" Axel asked a little concerned. Roxas nodded, and stood up, brushing himself off as if he were covered in dirt.
"Y-Yeah, I'm fine," he said, and started walking, calling over his shoulder, "We're going to be late for class, but if we start walking now we could get there in time to tell Mr. Kents a story and he'll excuse us. He's our English teacher," he said. He had to keep talking. He couldn't let the subject come up…
"You can't just push it away," The redhead said, catching the blonds' wrist. Roxas snapped. He shoved Axels' hand off of his, turning and glaring at him.
"Yes I can! I can push it away all I want, because that's what I do! Why should I change just because you're here?" he yelled. Yeah, he was a little glad that Axel had stopped Seifer, but now he knew that the other blond would beat the living crap out of him the next time their paths crossed.
"Hey now, I'm just trying to help," Axel said with his hands raised. Roxas took a deep breath and nodded.
"Yeah I know. I'm sorry I just…"
"Got some anger issues?"
"Yeah."
They stared at each other then Axel said, "Hey man, I know it's my first day and all, and I know that you don't really know me, AND I know that you like school and all but…" He was cut off by the bell then continued again, "Plus that was the bell so, you just wanna skip class?"
"I uhh..." Roxas started. It sounded like a good idea, but the trouble they could get in…
"It's ok if you don't. I mean, I know not everyone's a trouble maker," Axel said, once again holding up his hands.
"N-No, I… I want to go, "Roxas found himself blurting out. Axels face lit up.
"Awesome!" he said excitedly and just like that, Roxas found himself being pulled forward by his wrist.
