Axel Rox Ass

Chapter 1- The Plan


It was a week before Winter Break. It always started the week before Winter Break.

That first Monday, everyone walking through the large high school doors thought they were in the wrong place. When you walked in, a group of students threw silvery tinsel and fake, powdery snow on your head and smiled demurely at the disgruntled looks on most of the student body. After walking through the pack of people at the door, then you could get a good look at the crazy decorations all over the school. There were wreaths on every door and fake trees with more tinsel, bright lights, and huge plastic ornaments. Long strands of blinking lights in all different colors were draped haphazardly anywhere they would stay up. In short, it was a little… much. Everyone thought they were definitely somewhere else. Except for one.

"The student council has outdone themselves, again." Roxas shook his head.

"Oh my… Wow. For a second there, I thought I was in Dem's bedroom again," Axel said from behind Roxas. Roxas wrapped his scarf tighter and scowled, brushing fake snow and tinsel out of his hair. "Aw, Roxy, don't be like that! The school's got more Christmas spirit than you do!"

"I think the school has more Christmas spirit than the entire student body."

"C'mon, Roxy! You should be excited! I've got a surprise for you!" Axel poked him in the side until he turned around. "Remember?!" Axel had a huge grin plastered on his face.

Roxas looked temporarily confused and then he lit up. "Axel! I totally forgot!" Roxas then started poking Axel. "So, where are we going this year? And who's going with us?"

"Well," Axel pondered with exaggerated slowness. "I guess I can tell you no one else is going, but you'll have to wait until lunch for details!" Axel laughed at Roxas's downtrodden expression. "Now get to class, you delinquent!" Axel turned and started walking to his class.

"Um, Axel? Wrong way."


During the next 6 class hours, Axel periodically sent Roxas text messages, reminding him of where they went the last couple of years. The first of many was when Axel and Roxas first became friends in 6th grade.

Roxas had just moved with his mom, twin brother Sora, and older brother Cloud. Cloud was in high school and knew a lot of people so he never hung out with Roxas or Sora. Sora already had friends here that moved a couple of years ago, but Roxas didn't know anyone. So when the tall kid with obnoxious red hair and bright green eyes sat down right next to him and said, "I'm Axel. Got it memorized?" all he could respond with was "I'm Roxas. And it's committed to memory."

From that first day of school, those two were inseparable. It was always one with the other. With that in mind, Axel assumed Roxas would come with on their family vacation.

"C'mon, Roxas! We're going to Disney World. You know, the one in Florida? It's going to be so much fun. Do you like roller coasters because I love them. Do you think you're tall enough because I don't know, you are pretty short…"

"Axel… isn't that, um, too expensive?" Roxas looked at him, a little worried for his sanity.

"Of course not, silly! Oh, wait. I guess you've never been to our house… Come over tonight. I'll show you around!"

When Axel was giving directions to Roxas's mum, Roxas thought he was kidding when he said pick the biggest house and ring the doorbell. The biggest house on the street wasn't a house. It was a mansion!

Roxas took the long walk up the driveway and stopped in front of the huge doorway. Roxas looked up at the huge house. He turned and started to walk back, thought about it, and walked back up and thought about it some more. Tentatively, Roxas poked the doorbell lightly. A large gong sounded and Roxas flinched. A woman answered the door and flung her arms around Roxas. "Oh my goodness, you're so cute! Come in, come in darling! I'll bring him home later, hun!" she called over her shoulder at Roxas's mum. "I'll go get Axel, okay? Be right back!"

Roxas just stood in the doorway, stunned. This house was decorated to the nines for Christmas. A couple seconds later, Axel bounded down the stairs. "So! Do you want to come to Disney World?"


Like the first one, some Christmas trips were more memorable than others, for one reason or another. Like sophomore year, the Christmas when they went to Mexico and Axel had the fabulous idea of going to the nude beach. Or the one in 8th grade, when both families went to some place in Wisconsin. The state itself wasn't all that memorable. What was remembered was Axel's coming out. Everyone who was there, including all four parents, didn't give any trouble, or were all that surprised. In fact, Axel's mum even asked why Axel didn't tell them earlier.

Of course, the others would be just as remembered, like when just the guys went with all their friends on a cruise in the Bahamas. Another one that was so amazing was when Axel and Roxas, all their friends and all the parents went to England and stayed for a week. With all of these amazing trips in the past and Axel reminding Roxas of them for 6 school hours, it was no wonder that Roxas was impatient for lunch to begin.

The bell rang in the middle of an Algebra II lecture, which Roxas was texting through anyways, so he didn't feel the need to be there any longer. He practically ran into the lunchroom, after stopping at his locker for his scarf, mittens, and jacket. Scanning the lunchroom for a flash of bright red hair, he started to panic when he couldn't find Axel. He ran to the only table without any of the very fake, very overly decorated trees and got lucky.

Demyx was sitting there with Zexion, Sora, Riku, and Namine. In Demyx's lap was a spiky, red hedgehog. Roxas was a little confused until Demyx motioned under the table. Roxas bent down and looked at the rest of Axel cramped under the table. Roxas sighed. "C'mon, Axel, let's get you to the nurse's office."

"Btidmntwnago!" the redhead mumbles into Demyx's lap.

"Axel, the nurse is the only person who has your allergy meds."

"But… I don't like her… Please, Roxy?" Axel looked up at him with large eyes that were red rimmed from his eyes watering. His hair was a mess from his constant running a hand through it, worrying.

Roxas broke down. "Oh, Axel. You look like a mess," he said while sitting down. He shifted over so he was closer to Axel and motioned him over.

Axel scooted over and Roxas started petting the mess that was his hair, untangling some knots. "Thanks, Roxy." The two relaxed a little and then Axel asked, "So, do you want to know?"

Roxas sat up suddenly. "I completely forgot. Yeah, I want to know!"

Axel chuckled and then sneezed a couple of times. "Ugh. Well, I was watching this show on the travel channel about the most extreme hotels in the US and I thought it would be fun to go to some of them!"

Roxas raised his eyebrow. "How many is 'some'…"

"Uh, like, 8?"

"AXEL! Do you know how expensive that is?!"

"Yes, I am fully aware. But, Roxas, I've been planning for this for two years! I took on a job and the last two vacations were within driving distance. I've saved up for this for a while, Roxy, so don't spaz, okay?"

Roxas took a deep breath. "A job?"

Axel shrugged back into Roxas's lap. "Just some modeling my dad couldn't get to right now."

"Oh. Well, when do we leave?"

Axel looked a bit sheepish. "Uh, tomorrow?" Roxas just stared at him incredulously. "I already called the school!" he said defensively. Roxas was still speechless. "Come with me to a photo shoot tonight and I'll help you pack afterwards, okay?"

Roxas just shook his head. "These hotels better be amazing."
