"I've been buring in water and drowning in flame. To prove you wrong and scare you away. I admit my defeat and go back home. Your hearts, under the rose..."
My favorite song, Under The Rose by HIM was blasting in my earbuds as I walked down the street to get to my bus stop. Oh, sorry I didn't introduce myself. I'm Roxas Strife, I'm 16 years old and a junior at Twilight Town High. I'm also a social outcast with very few friends and an "emo fag" reputation.
One of my only friends is Demyx, who has gravity defting hair thats always in a mohawk/mullet combonation. In the four years I have known him I've still yet to figure out exactly how he got it to stay like that 24/7.
Then there's Zexion, who's as short if not shorter than myself ( me being 5'4'' ) and always has his long bark blue hair completely covering one eye. He has an emo fag reputation like me, but he looks more emo than I do mainly because he's always reading a book alone in what we call his "emo corner".
Him and Demyx are dateing; they really do make a good couple. Zexion's cool, calm and collective personality and Demyx's loud and outgoing one balance eachother really well. The height diffrence is pretty funny, because Demyx is about 5'9'', there is a 6 inch diffrence even though Zexion is a year ahead of me and Demyx.
There's also my twin Sora, who is an out-cast like me but not an emo. I mean, I'm not emo either but people don't seem to know the diffrence between "emo" and "goth". Back to Sora, he's always way too happy all the time like Demyx and he's really ignorent to the world around him. His boyfriend, Riku is the exact oppisite of Sora and they, like Zexion and Demyx, make a good couple because of this.
Then there's..."HUG AN EMO!" A tall flash of firetruck-red hair tackled me to the ground.
Axel.
My tall, sexy redheaded boyfriend of a year who really likes to make fun of how I dress, eve though he's a Punk Rocker. Oh yeah, well the "fag" part of my reputation is true.
"Augh, I hate you! Get off me Axe!" I yelled, trying to push him off. He just pulled me closer and said with a smirk," No, don't think I will. Not until you give me a kiss first~" I looked around," Axe, we're in publi-" "So?" He cut me off," Who cares what everyone else thinks?"
Axel was never scared to show the world his sexuallity, I was a little more weary to hold hands, hug and kiss him in public because I knew people would point and wisper. I have no idea what had gotten into me today, but I was feeling couragous and leaned up to kiss him deeply. I felt like I was buring in water and drowning in flame, but I wouldn't have it anyother way, Axel is my everything and I love him.
Maybe being an emo fag isn't so bad after all.
