This is a tale of young love, and the greatest concert of their lives.
Roxas was a shy young man, he watches from afar to the love of his Namine, across the hallway of their high school, she looked back to Roxas from the space near her locker. Roxas too embarrassed too hold eye contact; his eyes retreated back to the inside of his locker. He was wearing his simple black T-shirt with an AC/DC logo on it, and some faded jeans; he was listing to Van Halen's "Dreams" in his iPod, classic metal music always calm him down. Namine was unique girl, she loves draws so much, sometimes aimlessly doodling on in class, yet she maintains very good grades, her favorite class is art. She was not loud or shallow as most girls Roxas encounter, she was sensitive, sweet, and kind.
She did not obsessive over boy bands, or gets caught up in inane gossip; she was an unique individual that Roxas loved for since Freshman year. Now it's near the end of their Junior year, and Roxas still feel not very confident. She was wearing a simple long sleeve white shirt, small silver chain necklace around her neck, and a sky blue knee high skirt. She looked like a beautiful angel to Roxas. He decided to finally make his move, he try to emulate his brother Sora's romantic relationship with Kairi (also Namine's Sister), he couldn't be as confident, but truly wants to achieve this so very much. He took off his headphones and approaches towards Namine's locker.
"Hey Namine"
"Oh, hi Roxas"
"Umm, how did you do at the last science test"
"Pretty good actually, I memorized all the elements"
"I didn't do so well, who needs to learn such useless trivial"
"Come on Roxas, you need to have good grades, if you want achieve in life"
"But it so hard, I can barely understand it"
"Well you know, I can help you"
"Really you can …"
The bell rang, they say their good byes, and quickly dashed to their classes.
A couple of hours past, a flood of teenagers crashed through the doors. Including Roxas while hearing on his iPod "School's Out" sang powerfully by Alice Cooper. He was accompanied by his two best friends Pence and Hayner. Hayner tapped Roxas' shoulder "So when are going to ask that blonde cutie out?" "Yeah you been talking about her a lot for while" Pence said while smiling smugly. Roxas responded while taking off his headphones "I'm just waiting for the perfect moment for it, she is considering tutoring me" "You gotta speed thing up, girls like it fast" Pence said, Hayner then replied "Nah girls never want to be rushed, after all they take a million hours putting makeup for some reason" Roxas soon changed the topic quickly, they chit chat about random things. Roxas also saw Namine from afar, she was with Kairi, Selphie, Olette
Eventually Roxas say goodbyes to his friends, he met his brother Sora in his Oldsmobile he got cheap used (Sam Raimi's Reference :D) They traveled to home, their parents were still out working (For FF reference I decided to make the parents Cloud and Aerith, I see a strong family resemblance between them) Sora's cellphone went out "Hi Kairi", Roxas went inside there house why Sora was distracted, then up to his room.
His room was a bit of a mess, full of discarded dirty clothes on the floor. He had a TV with a PS2 and a N64, a desk with his laptop, and several posters. There was a poster of the band Kiss, another poster had Motley Crue, there smaller poster of Iron Maiden's mascot "Eddie the Head" and probably his favorite one, a poster of Slash playing a Les Paul guitar while wearing his signature top hat. Also in the corner was another Les Paul guitar similar to his guitar idol. Roxas always loved classic hard rock and classic heavy metal every since he was a little boy, thanks to Cloud's great parenting by exposing him classic rock albums. He always wanted be on stage playing terrific guitar solos, he even thought of writing a love ballad to Namine. He's in fact quite good at, been playing since he was 11. Roxas lied on his bed while listing to his iPod
Roxas had an extensive library of great music in his iPod he thought about the lyrics of this song.
Sit here on the stairs
'Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now, I'll wait dear
Sometimes, I get so tense
But I can't speed up the time
But you know, love, there's one more thing to consider
Said woman take it slow
Things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said sugar take the time
'Cause the lights are shining bright
You and I've got what it takes to make it
We won't fake it, Oh never break it
'Cause I can't take it
...little patience, mm yeah, ooh yeah,
Need a little patience, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah
After some deep thinking, Roxas surf the net a bit, looking to random music sites, something caught his eye.
