Hello, people of the interwebs! :D Here's the first chapter of my new story, Bad Boy! :D The title was, of course, taken from the Cascada song. XD Yeah, so I figured I should make another AkuRoku, since I haven't made one in a while. I got inspiration as soon as I heard the song and BOOM! chapter one is here! ;) And longer that I've been writing recently, a whole 1064 words! Enjoy! :D
"Axel! You are late!"
The red-head smirked at his chemistry teacher. "So sorry, Mr. Vexen!" he said innocently. "I was preoccupied."
He could see his teacher's eyebrow twitch. "School is more important than your pranks, Axel!" he said viciously. "Next time you will be sent to ISS! Now take your seat!"
Still smirking, Axel sat down next to a blond-haired boy.
When he was sure the teacher was absorbed in his lecture, the blond turned to face Axel. "Where were you?" Demyx hissed quietly.
Axel's smile was almost menacing. "Defiling a chemistry professor's car," he said calmly.
Demyx sighed. "Don't you ever get tired of going to the principle's office?" he asked wearily.
"Nope."
"You are very strange, Axel."
"Well, that's why you love me," Axel teased.
Finally smiling, Demyx rolled his eyes. "Stay back, man, I have a boyfriend," he said.
Axel grinned. "Who was a threat now?" he asked innocently. "Not me!"
They both laughed.
"Seriously, though, you should get a boyfriend too, Axel." Demyx told him after a minute.
Axel sighed. "Yeah, I know. I need a life, too. But no one around here is interesting."
Demyx snickered, teasing again. "You're certainly the most 'interesting' guy around, Axel. You're so popular, everyone knows your name and face."
Axel laughed. "Popular? Sure. That's one way of putting it."
They erupted in laughter, causing Mr. Vexen to turn around and yell at them.
.
Somehow, they both made it through that class and the next two, finally arriving at lunch. Demyx headed straight for his blue-haired boyfriend, who had his nose in a book as usual, and sat down. Axel got in the lunch line and let his eyes survey everyone around him. All of the girls were bitchy, and all of the guys were stupid. Not a single good candidate for a date. They all looked back at him nervously. Oh yes, everyone knew his face. How could they not know Axel, the daredevil, the prankster, the class clown, the school 'bad boy'? He wore the same thing every day, a red shirt with a black leather coat, black pants, and a fireball belt to hold up those pants. His fire-red hair defied gravity, spiking up in all directions, yet still looking hot. His purple tear-drop tattoos, below his eyes, were trademark of him alone. His scowl was a dangerous thing, and his glare could kill. No one messed with him. No one even spoke to him. But he liked it that way. The only intelligent people in this school, besides himself, were Demyx and his shy, super-genius boyfriend.
.
As he pondered all of this, the line inched slowly forward. When he got to the front, he bought an apple and a Gatorade, then headed off to sit down next to Demyx. The blond-haired music student eyed Axel's meager lunch critically.
"Do you ever have full meals? Geez!" he complained.
Axel smiled. "Nope."
"Well, no wonder you're so thin!"
"Yeah, well, what're you gonna do?" He took a bite out of the apple and eyed the blue-haired boy sitting on the other side of Demyx. "What's up, Sexy Zexy?"
Zexion closed his book, not bothering to look over at the redhead. "Don't call me that."
"Yeah! Only I'm allowed to call him that, right Zexy?" Demyx chirped.
A tiny smile finally flashed across the bookworm's face. "When did I ever say that?"
"You don't have to. I said it," Demyx giggled, leaning over to kiss his boyfriend, which caused him to turn a pleasant shade of pink.
"PDA, Demyx," he muttered, looking around.
"Aww, is Zexy afraid to show he loves me?"
Axel rolled his eyes and left the two lovebirds alone, heading outside for a smoke.
.
Out in the courtyard of the school, no one else was around. And even if someone were to walk by, no one would care if they saw Axel Flynn smoking out there. They all knew not to mess with him. As he took a drag, however, he heard footsteps stop a little ways behind him.
"Those things will kill you, Ax."
Axel chuckled bitterly. "Yeah, I know. But who's gonna make me stop? It's not like anyone in this town would dare raise a fuss about our own 'bad boy', right?"
Demyx sighed and sat down next to his best friend. "I know you've been feeling down lately," he said quietly. "And I know you let it out by pulling more pranks but, don't you think he'd want you to grow up the right way?"
Axel stomped on the remains of the cigarette and sat down as well. "I don't think he wants anything anymore, Dem. You know I don't believe that crap."
"Yeah, but still. If he was still around, what do you think he'd tell you if he found out?"
Axel half-smiled. "He'd lecture me, of course. But then he'd joke about it after about ten minutes. He'd tell me he did the same thing when he was a kid."
Demyx chuckled. "I can imagine that."
They both laughed silently. But then Axel's bravado broke and a tear rolled down his cheek.
"Why did he have to go?" he whispered.
Demyx sighed and put an arm around his best friend comfortingly. "I don't know, Axel," was the only answer he could give.
.
For a few minutes, they were silent, Axel shaking with quiet sobs. If anyone had seen him, they'd never believe it. Axel, the toughest guy around, crying? So as soon as footsteps sounded, Axel wiped off his face and put on a scowl.
"Axel!"
"Oh, great. Just what I need," he muttered as Mr. Vexen walked up, looking extremely pissed off. "The principle wants to see you, Mr. Flynn! And you'd better have the money to pay me back for the damage you've done to my car."
Axel smirked at him. "Oh, you didn't like the way I decorated it? I thought it looked nice!"
The two boys could see his eyebrow twitch again, madly. "To the PRINCIPLE, Axel!"
Laughing, Axel got up and walked towards the front office, while Demyx looked on with concern.
