A/N- This is Shay! A friend of 'impossiblyimpossible! yay an Axel/Roxas fic written by me. Reviews are VERY much appreciated, as well as suggestions as to how the two can 'get to know eacother'
"There." Roxas smiled in satisfaction. The last poster was hung, and all of his stuff was unpacked. Sitting on the room's bunk bed, Roxas admired his handiwork. Now he could take a nap before being forced to meet his new roommate. Yawning, he drifted into a dreamless sleep...
"That's MY bed freshmeat!" Roxas felt himself being pushed onto the floor at three in the afternoon. It was, apparently, farther away than he had previously thought. Why did they have bunk beds here anyway?
"ow! What the hell was that for?" Now fully awake, Roxas glared at his attacker. The man looked a couple of years older than Roxas. He was thin and he wore a black...trenchcoat? Weird...What was even more disturbing was that the man had fiery red spikes shooting out of his head and tattoos on his face! Great...
"You were sleeping on MY mattress." The redhead made it sound like Roxas was an idiot for not knowing that.
"I don't see your name on it asshole. Do you even have one? looking as freaky as you do.."
"The name's Axel. Got it memorized? and what are you? twelve?"
Roxas glared again, causing the older man...Axel...to smirk.
"What the hell are you laughing at?" This guy was going to get on Roxas' every last nerve..
"You just look so adorable with that pout on your face. Sexy even" Roxas was completely shocked. What the hell was this guy on? And he was glaring. Not pouting. GLARING..
"I'm sorry...but I don't swing that way"His response made Axel chuckle and his eyes, unusually green and cat-like, lit up. Roxas felt his body get tense...this man was a creepy psychopath. He was sure of it.
"Bet I could change your mind..." Definitely a creepy psychopath. Roxas made a noise of disgust and the Pyro laughed again. Finally, he turned around to leave.
"Hey freshmeat, top bunk is mine. I'm always on top." Then he was gone, leaving a dumbstruck Roxas to process all the implications he had just heard. It was going to be a loooonngg year.
Axel's POV
"Can't believe I got stuck with a freshman for a roomie..." Axel muttered to himself as he crossed the hall to his dorm. Pushing open the door, he noticed that somebody had decorated the room. He saw that same someone asleep on top of the bunk bed. That wouldn't do at all...it was HIS bunk bed and he would let freshmeat know it with a not so gentle wake up call.
After being dumped on the floor, the kid woke up and glared at him. Aww...how cute. Axel noticed that freshmeat was giving him a once-no, twice- over, and he was afraid.
Good.
Tired of being scrutinized, Axel explained very slowly that the kid had been sleeping on HIS mattress. Judging by the response he got back, his new roomie was not exactly a ray of sunshine. Axel preferred it that way though, it was much more entertaining. Like when the kid tried to glare at him, he had to grin. It was adorable. The glare had melted into a grumpy pout.
Well, Freshmeat got offended and Axel decided to fluster him a bit.
"You just look so adorable with that pout on your face. Sexy even."
It worked. The kid looked as if he had been slapped in the face. Then he made some assumption about Axel being gay.
It took only a fraction of a second for Axel to regain his composure and make a sly comment. The kid looked like he'd noticed it though. Hmm...he'd have to think for a while. It was time to wrap up this meeting.
Although, Axel wanted his new best buddy to think too...so he just couldn't pass up making a comment that gave freshmeat that 'slapped' look again. This year was going to be fun.
Roxas POV.
After busying himself with random, meaningless, unnecessary, tasks for several hours, Roxas figured that he had to go back to the dorm eventually. Maybe his roommate, or cell mate, would be asleep by now. Or dead. Dead worked just as well...Roxas didn't know whether to be relieved or afraid when he opened the door and found...nothing. He sighed. Roxas decided it would not be a good idea to change into pajamas tonight...not with that creepy Axel lurking somewhere. Eww.
As he crawled under the covers of the bottom bunk, therefore his bunk, Roxas couldn't help but hope that this guy had the decency to let him sleep, as long as he was on the bottom. ...
Apparently not...
Axel POV
"I'm sorry...but I don't swing that way" Why the hell was Freshmeat's comment bothering him so much? He was Axel...red-hot flaming Axel! He totally liked chicks. With boobs and stuff..ya know? He was just messing with the poor kid...and he thought it was funny when the kid had tried (and failed) to be intimidating. Any straight guy would find that amusing...and the look on the kid's face when he made that last comment was priceless! okay...so he had to stop calling the kid...well, kid. What was his name again?
Axel thought about it for a few minutes and then realized. "He never told me his name..." Wait. Why would AXEL be even a LITTLE BIT upset because some freshman never introduced himself? Ugh! He could ask...but freshmeat would probably be asleep and very upset to be woken up again. Axel vaguely wondered if his new roomie slept in his boxers...Shit. Unwanted thought. Maybe some alcohol would help get rid of these weird thoughts about how cute freshmeat was. mmm...freshmeat...Yeah...he needed alcohol. NOW...
1:00 found Axel in front of the door to his dorm room. How had he gotten there? Oh well...yawn... he was too tired to care at the moment.
Upon entering, he spotted a mess of blonde hair uncovered by the blanket. Now freshmeat was sleeping in the bottom bunk...he learned his lesson. Axel felt himself pulled toward the sleeping boy. For some unknown reason...Axel decided to ask his name after all. Considering the kid would probably jump up and hit his head, he had to be restrained. Really...Axel was only thinking of his roommate's safety...
Roxas POV
When he woke up, the first thing Roxas noticed was that he could barely breathe.
"Mornin' roomie!"
Then he noticed there was a drunk Axel sitting on his chest. Wait..AXEL was sitting on his chest...and he was DRUNK?! Roxas immediately tried to jump up but was firmly held back.
"Ow! Watch it would ya?"
"No Axel! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING SITTING ON MY CHEST AT ONE IN THE MORNING AND DRUNK AND GRINNING LIKE AN ID-mmph!"
"You have to calm down and stop screaming!Now...I just want you to answer some questions and then I'll leave you alone...'till tomorrow." He grinned.
Roxas nodded so that Axel would get his hand the hell away before it got bitten off. Though he' probably like that. Ugh. Roxas glared.
"You're a sick bastard, ya know that?"
"You flatter me...now, are you gonna answer my questions or what?"
"Whatever...just get the hell off of me"
"No. I'm comfortable."
Roxas couldn't even think of a reply to that...so he kept his mouth shut.
"How old are you?"
"Nineteen"
"You got a girlfriend?"
"no."
"Any pets?"
"had a dog once."
Axel asked about what schools he went too, music he liked, his family...it went on and on. Why did this freak want to know so much about him?
"You got a name roomie?"
"Roxas..." Axel had on a thoughtful expression. Roxas sighed...thinking it was over. No such luck.
Axel rattled off about 50 more questions or so about absolutely nothing important. Favorite subjects, favorite movies, his opinion on global warming...etc.
"Roxas, what's your favorite color?"
"Green." He answered immediately. Axel smirked.
"Why?"
Roxas didn't know why...his favorite color had been blue until a couple of days ago.
"I don't..." Roxas trailed off...suddenly noticing how close Axel had gotten. How had that happened?
Axel stared expectantly at him...almost like he was waiting for an explosion or something. Then Roxas noticed something. Axel's eyes...were...Green...Crap. It was just a coincidence right? He had not based his new favorite color on this man's eyes. No Way.
"Alright Roxy...I'm done, you can go to sleep now."
Roxas started to protest. "Don't call me-"
"Night." Axel cut him off and climbed up the ladder into his own bed.
At least it was over.
Axel POV
Axel crept over to the bunk bed and very carefully checked to make sure it's occupant was sound asleep. He was. Then, also very carefully, he sat on the kid's chest so that he was pinned. "Hey roomie! Wake up!" after a few minutes of loud whispering, the blonde finally opened his eyes. He was NOT happy The kid starting screaming his head off and tried to jump up. That hurt. Axel was forced to cover the kid's mouth with his hand.
Being very reasonable, Axel requested that his roommate answer a few questions. So after getting a nod of consent, Axel pulled back his hand and fired out the questions. Anything that came to mind really...roomie was 19,single, and his name was Roxas. Axel liked that name. R-r-r-r-roxas. He asked a few more questions and settled on asking one more. It wasn't for any reason really...just plain curiosity.
"Roxas, what's your favorite color?" Roxas answered almost instantly.
"Green" Axel wasn't expecting that...he probably wouldn't have thought twice about it if Roxas hadn't started blushing as soon as he said it. Why was the color green an embarrassing one to favor? Roxas didn't even realize he was blushing. Axel just had to ask.
"Why?"
The blonde squirmed a little and began to look very confused. As if he didn't know either.
"I don't..." Roxas started blushing even more before he could finsh his answer. Axel was a bit concerned about how weird the blonde was acting. Since he looked like he was on the verge of some sort of panic attack, Axel decided to leave him alone for the night. He would bother him in the morning.
