Axel heaved a sigh as he got on the bus. It had been a long and lonesome day at school (as usual.)
Well not entirely lonesome. He hung out with a gang of 12 strange teens.
Demyx was probably his closest friend. One word to describe Dem that Axel thought when he first met him. Ghey, ghey, gey, gay, gai. Whatever. But Demyx was kind-hearted so Axel helped him hook up with Zexion. Another member of their "Gang of 12".
Zexy wasn't the happiest kid in school. He had periwinkle hair that came right over his eyes and very rarely said anything.
But that day something had happened. Nothing out of the ordinary happens to Axel. He's just a 17 yr old with spunky red hair and tattoos. A mass of his fangirls following him around at his school (and a couple of fanboys) and decent grades.
Axel sat on the bus next to an old lady who stunk of piss and bad perfume.
"Just another day" Axel thought to himself. The bus stopped in front of a couple of teens who looked 1 or 2 years younger than him. There was a silver haired boy who was a bit taller than the rest. He was talking to a brunette boy, wait was he flirting? Aw forget it. Then there were two very pretty girls. One redhead, one snowy blonde. But the one that caught his eye the most had to be the "blonde haired kid" he had dirty blonde hair and he was wearing a blue shirt, black skinny jeans and black and white checkered vans. Axel was sporting a pair himself except they were black and red. He looked down as they piled on and sat next to him. He'd remembered he'd seen them in school. In fact they may have even shared a couple classes. But he never noticed. They were laughing and chatting away, while Axel looked at the gum-ridden floor trying to hide his blush.
Axel very rarely blushed, he loved to chat and flirt and he certainly wasn't shy about making the first move. He always liked girls. And liked staring at their asses and all like a normal guy but something told him it would just never work with a girl. And certainly not after he met Roxas.
"Hey Roxas" The silver haired said to the Dirty blonde.
"Could you move up a bit?"
Roxas, what a cute name! Axel thought
Roxas shuffled up a bit next to him so his and axel's legs were touching to let the silver haired kid sit next to the brunette. More flirting.
"Riku you are so funneh!" The brunette giggled.
"Gee thanks Sora!" Riku said happily.
The red-head, Kairi looked slightly jealous but hid it by talking to the snowy blonde, Namine.
Roxas turned to look out the window when he saw A flash of red hair and amazing emerald eyes.
Him and Axel stared at each other for a few moments.
"Wait don't you go to my school?" Roxas said. His voice was cute yet serious.
Axel managed to get out of his daze.
"Erm, er, think so" Axel mumbled, fumbling with his fingers.
"Hey yeah we share history!" Kairi said in her usual too bubbly way.
"You're right Kairi, we also share math, english, geography" Namine retorted
"And we share P.E with you, wait is it A...A...ax" Sora said.
"Axel" Riku glanced over at Axel. But his eyes were sad. "C'mon were getting of next stop."
"Gee Ri whats the rush?" Sora said curious as to what set Riku off, before he knew it though he was being dragged of by Riku.
Namine Giggled and Roxas just looked at him.
"Well see you at school! History first period!" Kairi said while being dragged of by Riku.
Nami and Rox had been friends for years, however when they tried to share a kiss on bonfire night, it just couldn't work. They vowed to share a friendship forever, but in a brotherly sister way though. They were as close as anything. Sora and Kairi too but the same thing happened to them, and then Sora came out of the closet. Jeez, that was a rough time. His parents were great about it though. Riku had a much more complicated past however. His parents, divorced, his brother Zexion, emo. And his friend, gay. Not that he had a problem with it but he found himself slowly falling for him. No one knew though, everyone thought he liked Ollette when they walked in on them sharing a kiss...accidental, they later found out.
The thing that bothered him most though is that once when he was about 13, he had a friend, but he left him behind, in the dark, Riku never wanted to see him again. This "freind" he had shared so many memories with, the one who helped him whenever he was down or grieving and visa versa had betrayed him. In a way unmentionable. He was responsible for his actions so Riku would never talk to him. The friend was responsible for his little brother, his little brother who was an angel and nothing elses death.
A few years later, Riku met Roxas who introduced him to Sora, who became great friends. He would of wanted to tell sora everything. But he needed someone to talk to ABOUT Sora. He chose Roxas. Roxas was just... Roxas. He was kind, gentle and just a little angsty. But he's great. Roxas is the only one who knows about his "friend" and his lil' bro.
