Okay, so this story is for DarkAngelle as a thank you for looking at another story of mine. Thank you so much, I 3 U!

I own no one in here, especially the song by Justin Timberlake!


Roxas woke up early one morning with the sun warming his face. Opening his ocean blue eyes he looked out his window at the bright, morning sky speckled with white clouds here and there. A smile spread across his face and he got up from bed.

'This is going to be the best day of the year, I know it! After today I'm free from Hell until September.'

Axel's emerald eyes snapped wide open as he suddenly sat up in his bed at hearing his cell phone sing "I can't wait to fall in love with you. You can't wait to fall in love with me." He answered it before the next verse of the song- slash- ringtone.

"Whadoyawant?" he barked.

"Well happy last day of school to you too Pyro." Roxas' cheerful voice said.

Axel took a deep breath, "Sorry Roxy, ya surprised me."

There was life- filled laughter on the other end of the phone, "Well someone had ta wake you if it wasn't gonna be Reno."

The redhead gave a short but sincere chuckle in response and was about to say something when-

"AXEL! GET YOUR LANKY ASS UP OR I'M LEAVIN' WITHOUCHA!" a voice called from outside his room.

Axel sighed and Roxas laughed again, "Speak of the Devil."

In five minutes Axel was down stairs where another redhead was standing by the door tapping his foot "Yo Reno." He said.

"Well it's about frackin' time! Jeez your slow, don't tell me ya had ta do a quick relief 'cause you were dreaming about Roxas again." His older brother said as he put his shoes on.

Axel's face went red "No! I was talking to him on the phone before you interrupted thanks." He said angrily as he began to put on his shoes as well.

Reno gave a chuckle and noogied the younger "C'mon, ya know I'm only jokin'. Now let's get goin', I gotta beat Rod ta school!" he said and he ran out the door to the sleek metallic- gray Impala he'd gotten as a graduation gift only a week before. Damn Axel wished he could have a car too so he didn't have to rely on his brother so much.

Not that he cared really; he actually admired his Aniki and wanted to be like him in many ways. Truth be told, Axel was actually disappointed that Reno would be going to Midgar University in August and the only one who would be left to talk to about anything cool would be his friends, then again some of them were leaving too.

'Ah why am I complainin'? Roxy'll still be there, that's for sure all the way. We promised each other after that day when the accident happened, and there's no way that it's gonna break now.' He thought with full confidence as he climbed into Reno's car and they sped towards the school.

Roxas was in the parking lot of Twilight Town High School with his brothers Cloud and Ventus, friend Sora and his brother Leon, Rod and his little brother Lea. They were waiting for Reno and Axel, who were now speeding down the aisle until Reno skillfully screeched into a spot next to the black Mustang that was Cloud's.

"Rod ya damn cheat!" Reno shouted as he jumped out of the car and stomped over to the other red- head, green eyes glowing with vicious anger.

"A cheat am I? Or is it just that fact that your bother makes you lose our morning races?" Rod responded with a smug grin on his face.

Reno was about to speak again but was beat to the punch by Cloud Strife "Hey Reno you're lucky you didn't bounce off my car or you would have to pay me with some of that college fund you need in a couple of months."

Everyone started laughing at the expression on Reno's face and Cloud smirked with victory, he knew Midgar University was one of the most expensive schools anyone could go to since he was going to attend that school himself along with Rod and Leon.

"Something I wanna know is why you two are cousins rather than brothers. Axel and Lea are nothing like either of you, and you two could be twins." Sora stated. Rod and Reno looked at each other then back at the younger brunette with a shrug.

A silver Ferrari came around the corner and parked across from the group. Sora smiled like a Cheshire cat and practically skipped over to it just as a pale teen with silver hair and ocean green eyes got out, Leon shook his head.

Cloud chuckled "Too late to give him the no- hickies- before- school rule?"

Leon pulled Cloud into his arms with a smirk on his face "Good thing that rule doesn't apply to us." He said and leaned in to kiss the spiky haired blond.

Cloud pushed against his shoulders to keep him at bay "Yeah it does!" he said with laughter in his voice.

Axel smiled at the scene and he looked to Roxas thinking, 'If only you knew how I wished that were us.'

"Riku! Are we going to the bonfire tonight?" Sora asked as he and the so named walked down a supposedly empty hall, hope flooding deep, ocean his eyes.

The silverette gave him a warm, promising smile with complete adoration in his green eyes "Of course I am, I've got the tickets right here." He said pulling an envelope from the pocket of his blue cargo pants.

Sora smiled a gratefully and threw his arms around Riku's neck, giving him a quick but affectionate kiss on the lips "Thank you! I love you!" he exclaimed, making the other laugh in amusement.

Roxas was at his locker when he heard a familiar voice exclaiming gratitude and affection, looking around the corner he saw Sora practically strangling poor Riku with a hug. A downhearted expression crossed his face at seeing the two of them.

'If that were Axel and me, I would be able to leave without any regrets.' He thought to himself.


That's the first chapter, second's in progress.
