-Prologue-
His Morning Routine
Sunlight seeped through beige blinds and fell upon him, a sleeping boy of 17. Roxas Hikari. As the sunlight came to his eyes, he opened the bright blue orbs. His vision was still blurry from the sleep. He shut them and pulled the blankets close. Too early. A soft knock was heard on his door followed by a gruff but friendly voice.
"Roxas, time to get up. First day of school."
"I'm up." His eyes shot open and he crawled out of his warm twin bed looking for a shirt to put on. Roxas yawned as he walked to the kitchen and made himself a cup of tea and poured himself some dry cereal. He then dashed sugar on top of it, and drizzled milk in it.
He sat there for fifteen minutes savoring the sweet aroma of English Breakfast. The light caffeine slowly rose to his head, and he was finally almost awake. After finishing his cereal he went back to his room to select his outfit. He didn't want anything that stood out, wasn't his style. He liked to blend in. His peers were his disguise. He selected a pair of longer dark brown cargo shorts, a red T-shirt, and a dark gray and black striped hooded sweatshirt. It fit him.
After selecting the garments he went to the bathroom to shower. Hot water pounded his lean, yet muscular frame and he inhaled and exhaled deeply. The steam cleared his senses. Something about it woke him up and relaxed him. Getting out, he dried himself off, put his clothes on, and brushed his teeth. Roxas didn't need to "do" his hair, he liked it messy. It seemed to fit the color, dirty blonde.
Lastly, he walked over to the spare bedroom. The bedroom was pure white. Ethereal curtains drifted dreamily as the wind gently blew through the windows. A woman with gentle features lay in the bed, a breathing tube in her mouth and a heart monitor to her left. Roxas' mother.
"Hey, Mom."
The breeze blew louder through the window.
"Today's my first day of school. My junior year. It's kind of exciting. Maybe I'll make another friend? It'll be weird without Namíne there, but I guess I'll manage."
"Do you remember last year, Mom? When that new kid Demyx showed up? He always seemed really interesting to me, especially with that mullet hawk thingy. He seems different from everyone else, I like that. I guess I'm kind of a hypocrite though, I try to blend in as much as possible. But I do that so I don't have to talk to people. Sora and his friends are always really nice to me though. I think Kairi has always been close to me though, almost as close as Namíne was. But Namíne and I always had that connection, that little something in common that no one else could understand."
The wind accompanied a pause. "Mmm…doesn't the breeze feel nice, Mom? I hope you like it, the doctors say that sea breeze is supposed to be good for your health.
"Roxas," his dad called "it's ten till 8 you should get going!"
"Okay, Dad!"
"Sorry Mom, but I have to go. I'll tell you all about school."
Roxas left the ghostly room and headed to the front door, picking up an already packed checkered book bag.
"Later."
"Have fun."
His morning routine.
A.N. Sorry about the length, I really wanted the prologue to be short to sort of set up the stage almost. Plus I changed it to Roxas x Demyx because you don't really see that as often and Demyx is hot…Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed it and I promise to make the first chapter, or second installment, whatever, a little bit happier! Oh! I don't want anyone to think that Roxas is a little good boy who does everything his father asks. Review please and enjoy. I'll get the next chapter up by next week!
