I need munny

I woke up and, before I could stop myself, I glanced over at my sister's bed.

Even when I remembered she was safe, I still felt sick to my stomach after the shock of seeing her bed empty for the fourth morning in a row. Her bed looked so un-slept-in, her sheets set straight and sunlight playing on the covers, and her alarm clock wasn't set. I had been woken up by my phone vibrating beneath my pillow, probably Pence or someone, and had to fight to stay awake. It was only five or ten minutes until my dad was supposed to wake my up for breakfast and then school, and I knew if I fell asleep then I wouldn't want to get up at fucking all.

"Roxas! Roxas, time to get up!"

"Coming, Dad!" I called back, sitting up slowly and trying to ignore the throbbing in my head, the sharp pain in my left knee and the pins and needles in my left hand. Why did I sleep so heavily last night?

Oh, yeah. I was with my little sister until one o'clock.

I shuffled out of our – my room... no, okay, I'm still calling it our room – I shuffled and ended up in the kitchen. My dad was frying bacon and my mother was doing the washing up, and everything looked so domestic and peaceful and happy. Apart from the lack of a little blonde head waiting at the table for me to arrive so she could tell me "Good morning".

"Morning, Roxas." It wasn't the same when my parents did it. "I know you didn't get much sleep last night, but I thought you might like to know that we got the results from Naminé's scan this morning."

Her name still hurt. I looked up expectantly anyway, not blinking when Dad set a plate of bacon and eggs in front of me. My mother looked like she was about to tell me the world was ending tomorrow.

Maybe it was.

"She needs surgery, but it'll be so expensive and..." Her eyes were filled with tears. "I don't know if we can..."

"I'll earn some munny." Of course I'd earn munny. If Naminé needed it...

"Roxas, it's a lot of munny." Dad sat down in Naminé's seat at the table. NO. "I don't think you'd be able to –"

"I can. How much munny is it?"

There was a moment of silence as my parents realised I was deadly serious. Mom looked at Dad and then down at her hands, which were clasped together as if the left one was trying to protect the right.

"One million."

My stomach sank beneath the floorboards but I swallowed and met my mother's gaze.

"I can do that."

I need Roxas

I dragged myself out of bed after another dream about one particular blonde and slouched my way into the shower. You need to become more of a morning person, Axel, said the annoying voice in my head that I usually ignored. Guess what? It got ignored again.

What day was it again? Thursday? Oh, hell yeah, double Math on Thursdays. I have this tactic for Math. Since unnamed blonde boy always sat at the front by himself, he was the kid you always had to sit next to when you got in trouble. All I had to do was piss around, throw some stuff and make Demyx laugh a lot, until our Math teacher got so pissed that he moved me to the front as a "punishment". Once there, I always acted like a freaking angel, so that it was clear the only way to make me behave myself was to place me next to the most gorgeous boy in all of existence (with the possible exception of myself). So far it worked well, and my only problem was making sure I didn't flunk this year because I'd worked so hard to fail the past three in order to get into a class with Rox-the blonde haired kid.

I arrived downstairs with half an hour until the bus arrived. My parents were always a little weird about me getting the bus – probably because of all the commoners I was mingling with – but there was no way in hell I was being driven to school by the family chauffeur. And also, Demyx took the bus on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, and he usually knew something new about the blonde haired kid from one of his many, many, many siblings. His parents have adopted half of Twilight Town, no joke. I love going round his house because it's always full of people – his siblings, his cousins, his parents' friends, his grandparents, and you can't tell the kid who came over to borrow a video game from one of Demyx's own siblings because everyone who sets foot in the door is treated with the same amount of care and affection from his parents. They're especially nice to me because my parents are neglectful to say the least, and when I came out to them on Boxing Day last year they just laughed and said "You think we didn't notice?" Demyx's mother then went on to ask whether I'd been flunking on purpose so I'd be held back and end up in a class with my crush – apparently someone (Demyx) had actually told her about the blonde haired kid. So I guess that I spent so much time at Dem's place because his parents were everyone's parents, and I fucking needed parents.

I also needed a certain blonde haired kid, but you know, good things come to those who wait...

Gotta love tired Thursdays

I arrived in school with a headache from trying to do math in my head. If I made one thousand munny every day except weekends where I'd have time to make two or three thousand, then...

"Roxas!" I looked up to see Hayner grinning at me. Normally the only time I saw that grin was when he wanted to copy my homework or occasionally when he was drunk and trying to get into my pants. Today, though, I knew what he wanted. "You okay, buddy?"

"Save the prologue, Hayner. I know what you want."

He grinned even wider. "Well, if it wouldn't be too much trouble for you..."

I sighed and pulled the battered PSP out of my bag. It was Naminé's, not mine, but she was always lending it to Hayner or Demyx or, well, anyone who asked for it. She was so sweet – is so sweet, for fuck's sake, she's just in hospital – but it didn't feel right, carrying around her hand-me-down PSP and giving it to whoever asked for it. Still, it was pretty damn hard to ignore Hayner when he was grinning at me like that. And anyway, it wasn't like Naminé was going to be using the PSP any time soon.

"What've you got first period, Roxas?" Pence asked. When had he got here? I was so tired – I'd had maybe four hours of sleep, and then walked to school – so a purple dinosaur could show up wearing a sombrero and I would have accepted it gladly so long as it didn't try to hurt me.

"Uh... it's Thursday, right?" Hayner nodded, looking at me like I was some kind of an idiot. "Oh... I've got, uh, Biology, and then double Math."

"You look exhausted. Just be careful not to fall asleep in Biology..." Pence gave me a meaningful look as my Bio teacher walked past. There was a legend that if you so much as lost eye contact with Marluxia, he would somehow find a way to squeeze your ass. Hayner claims to have been groped by him, but then Hayner also claims to have met the devil while he was having a tooth pulled, so nobody takes him seriously.

"You know, Roxas, you could do with some perking up. We could always go to the Usual Spot and, you know..." Hayner grinned at me. I couldn't tell whether he was coming onto me or whether he was just being weird. Normally I could tell, or at least ask Olette to tell me, but I was so tired... "Or you could come over to my house."

I winced. Usually I loved Hayner's house – it was so full of life, busy as fuck any time of day, and messy – but I was way too tired to deal with all of his siblings. Pretty much everyone was related to him somehow, including Demyx from my Math class, my sort-of cousins Sora and Kairi (I think, anyway) and Vexen, the nerdy kid that Marluxia was always checking out in Biology.

"Uh, I need to go visit Naminé." I stopped outside the Bio lab. "I think I might be free on –"

"Oh, come on, Roxas! You've gotta look after yourself as well as your sister, okay? Come to my place, we can go up to my room and then we'll –"

"Hayner," said Pence sharply, grabbing his arm and beginning to pull him away. "I told you, you can't take advantage of him being like this, however badly you..." And then they were out of earshot and I stopped caring, because I needed to save my energy for Biology.

"Roxas! Hey!" Kairi bounced past me, on her way to... Art? I think so. I was never one for remembering the timetables of my not-really-relatives. There was still a bit of uncertainty about whether or not I was related to Kairi and of course her brother, Sora. To be honest, I didn't care. They felt like family, and that was enough for me.

"Hi, Kairi." I smiled wanly at her and then turned back towards the Bio classroom. I should probably go in and try to explain to Marluxia why I couldn't do the homework. I really didn't need a detention from him. Nobody comes out of a Marluxia detention quite the same.

Yeah, yeah, it's awful. Please flame me, I'm an attention whore. I'd rather get a flame or just a disappointed emoticon than nothing at all.
Oh, and just as a warning, I have no plan for this particular fic. (I do, however, have a plan for "My sister talks to fire and my brother is gay". If you haven't read it yet, please do. I'm quite proud of it, even if it is shit.) Also, Roxas and Sora are (maybe) related because I don't like the Sora x Roxas pairing, and this is the easiest way to get around it.
PLEASE review. It makes me sad when I check my Gmail and all that's there is the Word Of The Day from Urban Dictionary.
