Summary: Roxas is just a normal high schooler, waiting for school to be over, until Axel moves in.
Disclaimer: Obviously I don't own them (I would not be sitting in my college dorm writing this if I did)
Warning: Contains yaoi/boylove/whatever else you want to call it. There's at least AkuRoku, Sora/Riku and Cloud/Leon (although I do plan on putting in some straight relationships to even it out a little). If you don't like yaoi, don't read it.
BEEEEP...BEEEEP...BEEEEP..CRASH...
"Roxas, if you broke that alarm too I am not buying you a new one."
"Sorry Mom."
Why did I have to get up. I already knew we weren't doing anything important in school today...or tomorrow for that matter. We were still in the review stage of the year. I wasn't going to learn anything new for at least another week. The blankets were so warm. They obviously didn't want me to go to school either, or they wouldn't be so comfy. I pulled the comforter back over my head and went back to sleep. School could wait.
"Roxas! Wake up! Your going to be late to school. And that's gonna make me late! Get up!"
Suddenly the blankets were ripped off of me, exposing me to the sun and much colder air. Why did I have to have a twin who was a morning person? He stood there staring at my still curled up body before leaping onto the bed.
"Roxy get up!"
He started to jump on the bed on top of me, not caring if it was me or the mattress he landed on. I groaned as his foot made contact between my legs. Yup, I was awake now. This was not starting off to be a good day. I laid there in pain for a moment before finally sitting on the edge of the bed. Sora, satisfied that I was no longer laying down, hopped down from the bed and trotted to the door.
"You have ten minutes. Riku is already here. We'll leave without you if we have to."
"Fine, I'll be down."
I made my way to the dresser and threw on whatever was on top. Luckily it matched. Blue hoodie and jeans. I stumbled into the bathroom and quickly rinsed my face off and brushed my teeth. My hair was about as good as it was gonna get. Bed head always seemed to work out better than me actually trying to make it do anything.
I grabbed my backpack, not checking if my books were even in it, and headed down stairs. Sora and Riku must have already headed out to Riku's car. I figured they could wait the two seconds it would take me to grab a pop-tart and headed to the kitchen. I searched the closet until I found the box of my favorite kind, brown sugar cinnamon, in the back. I threw a package into my bag and headed for the door, almost forgetting my shoes.
I slid into the back seat of Riku's car, ignoring my brother fondling his boyfriend as usual. I clicked my seat belt and leaned up against the window of the car, letting my eyes close again.
"Just so you know, we were about to leave without you."
"Sure you were, Sora." I knew that was a empty threat. He had been telling me they would leave without me since Riku got his license. Plus he obviously too busy to even tell that my ten minutes were up at least five minutes ago.
"We were too!"
Wow, he could sound childish sometimes. I don't know how Riku put up with him.
"Morning Roxas." Riku greeted, completely ignoring his boyfriend's mild temper tantrum.
"Morning Riku." I grumbled.
"Alright everyone good to go?"
"Yup." Sora said in his way-too-excited-for-this-early-in-the-morning voice.
I could feel the car start to move, but it wasn't too long before I drifted back to sleep. I slept soundly for the ten minute drive to the high school, but was rudely awoken, when we got there. Sora apparently thought it would be funny to open the door I was currently passed out against. Luckily for me, I was wearing my seat belt. Maybe it was good for something.
"God Sora, must you be so annoying in the morning?" I asked, still hanging partially out the door.
"Uh huh. That's what brothers are for."
I sat up, untangling myself from the seat belt, and grabbed my bag. Riku and Sora were already on their way to the school when I got out of the car. If it wasn't for the fact that Sora sits next to me in home room, I could probably stay here and they wouldn't notice. Any classes I had with them contained both of them. And if one of Sora's classes had Riku in it, he didn't notice anyone else. I knew Riku wouldn't care if I skipped.
Grumpily, I made my way into the school. Everyone looked much to awake and excited to be here. Was I the only sane person? Anytime with single digits followed by an a.m. was much to early to be up in my opinion.
My locker of course wouldn't open. I had to put the combination into the lock about twelve million frickin' times and kick it at least twice before the door decided to come loose. I shrugged out of the hoodie, realizing it was now much too warm for it, hoping that I remembered to put a shirt on under it. I looked down thankful for the plain black tee-shirt covering my chest. I didn't even know I owned a plain shirt.
I couldn't remember what day it was, so I just grabbed everything I thought I might need out of my locker and started walking towards home room. I sat down in my seat just before the late bell rang. The morning announcements started soon after, but I couldn't tell you what any of them ever said. They all sounded the same and were usually about things I wasn't involved in anyways.
My stomach growled rather loudly, reminding me I hadn't eaten yet today. I searched my bag for the pop-tart I knew I threw in there somewhere. I found it inside my binder, how it got there I have no idea. As quietly as possible I opened the package and started to eat. I hoped the teacher didn't notice that I was eating in her "No Food Allowed" class room. Last time she caught me, I was in detention with her for days. Trust me, detention with Mrs. Larexene is not fun.
The announcements droned on for what seemed like forever before the bell for first period rang. I looked to Sora and he told me what day it was, knowing that's what I wanted, before darting out the door to catch Riku before his first class. Joy, I had Math first. That's exactly what I wanted to do first thing in the morning.
I pushed my way through the crowded halls, into the class room, and took my seat in the back of the class. I really had no reason to be here. We were reviewing stuff from last year still and I already knew it all. The only real reason for me to be here was to hand in the homework, that I did three days ago. Don't get me wrong. I'm not a math geek. I just currently have no social life. It's helped my grades out majorly. Between being grounded for the last few weeks, for something Sora did by the way, and having to work on the weekends, I haven't really had time to do anything fun; not that there's much to do around here anyways.
Class started and I went off into my own world. I passed the homework up and answered a question if it was asked of me, but other than that it was a blur of doodles and fake note taking. After what seemed like much too long a time of numbers and symbols for my still bleary eyes, the bell rang. Thank god it was over.
That bell meant it was time for me to go to English. English usually consisted of me sitting there, listening to the teacher drone on about books that no one would read unless they had to, and then make us analyze every little detail about it. Sounds like fun doesn't it. Didn't think so. Today we were going to discuss chapter five of the book we're currently reading. I don't remember what it was named, I didn't really care for it. I had already read the entire thing and written the paper. I swear I am not an over achiever. Grounded to my mom means you do your homework and any homework that you might have in the future.
Also did I mention my computer died. Makes it a lot harder to procrastinate. I think it might have had something to do with the dried on soda I found on it, but Sora says he has no idea where it might have come from. That gay little bastard gets away with everything. Apparently he's got the innocent face down better than I do. He can do no wrong according to Mom; as long as she doesn't catch him with Riku. I don't think she'd approve if she knew her son was having sex with another man. She thinks their relationship is cute, but she doesn't know the whole of it. I really don't care what they do behind closed doors, I just don't wanna hear it. Or see it. That was a bad day. I will forever have the image of my brother, naked, with another man on top of him burned into my mind. Why they decided it would be a good idea to have sex in the living room, while I was home and obviously still awake, I will never understand.
I should pay attention, if only to get that mental image out of my mind. Oh great, we're on the topic of sexual relations in the book. That doesn't help. I think God think's he's funny. That is the only explanation I can think of for days like these. I stared down at the desk, trying to think of anything that wouldn't bring that image back to my mind. Of course this did the opposite. I dropped my head to the desk, a good amount harder than I intended. The entire room turned at the sound. All I could do was sit there and hope they would stop staring at me.
"Is everything alright Roxas?"
"Yes, Professor. Sorry for interrupting your class."
"Alright now onto page..." Thank god. I did not want to have to come up with an explanation of why I hit my head on the desk. It didn't help, by the way. Now I just had a headache and naked images of my brother beating at my skull. Please let this day go faster.
After what seemed like an eternity later, the bell rang. I decided to swing by my locker on my way to my next class and drop off some of my heavier books. Just as a turned the corner, I realized how bad of an idea that was. Sora was at his locker, which is next to mine, with Riku. Luckily they weren't doing anything. Riku was just leaning against the lockers while Sora looked for his books, but just seeing them near each other brought the images back. Keep walking Roxas, keep walking.
"Hey Roxas!" Fuck. He saw me. "Have you seen my Math notebook?"
"No." I slightly snapped. I couldn't look at him. Quickly I shoved my books in my locker and practically ran to class. This made me really early. I was actually the second person there, really odd behavior for me. I also realized later that in my rushing I had put everything I needed for this class in my locker. Great.
I tried to tell myself that I just had to get to lunch and it would get better. That was a lie. Lunch just meant that I would have to see Sora and Riku again...together. Hopefully Sora wouldn't get the urge to molest Riku too much today. They were in public. They couldn't get too smutty...could they? Even if they did keep their hands off of each other, which I think is highly unlikely, I still had my least favorite class. Why did I even get out of bed today? Oh yeah, that's right. Fucking Sora woke me back up. If this day doesn't kill me, I think I might have to kill him.
I honestly have no idea what happened in any of my other classes before lunch. I was concentrating so much on not going insane before then that everything else kinda faded away. For all I know a man in a gorilla suit could have walked through the class and wouldn't have noticed. Okay that's a lie. I would've noticed a man in a gorilla suit. That's just ridiculous, but you get the point.
Finally, I walked into the lunch room. At this point I was starving. Surprisingly, trying to fend off thoughts of your brother naked can really stoke your appetite. I pushed my way through the crowd and grabbed whatever tray I could get to. I'm not really sure what it was. It looked like some kind of ground something. Whatever, it was food. I took a bag of chips and a drink, payed the woman and went to sit at our table.
As always I was one of the first of the people that sit at our table there. I was always early to lunch. Lunch was my favorite period of the day. Anything with food involved was good in my book actually. Plus I wasn't required to learn anything during lunch, except maybe how to properly eat the lunch food so as not to get it all over your clothes.
I took my seat in the middle of the table, facing the window. Pence and Olette were already arguing about something while Hayner quietly stole food from the two of them. I sat and stared out the window, waiting for everyone else to show up. Normally I would have gotten involved in their conversation but today seemed a little too heated for my liking.
I watched the gym class out on the field before Sora and Riku snapped me back to reality. They sat across from me, Sora practically on Riku's lap. This of course brought back the images from earlier. I immediately looked down to my no longer hot food. I spent the next few minutes trying to focus on only my food. When I finished that I had no choice but to look back up. When I met Riku's aqua eyes he looked concerned.
"Are you okay? You look kinda sick?"
"Yeah, just been a rough day so far. I'm fine."
"You sure?"
"Yeah, you look kinda twitchy." Sora piped in.
"I'm fine, I swear. I just want today to be over already."
"Okay, just warn us if you're gonna be sick."
"Ewww...Why would you mention Roxas being sick while I'm eating."
"Sorry, So." Riku apologized, giving Sora a kiss to make it up.
"Okay...I think I might be sick."
I put my head down on the table, making sure to miss my food. I knew lunch was only gonna make today worse. I had just been lying to myself when I thought otherwise.
"Maybe you should go to the nurse?" Riku suggested, removing himself from Sora.
"I doubt she could help me." I mumbled into the table.
"Alright, just trying to help."
"It's alright, I feel better now." I lied, picking my head up off the table. I didn't need them to keep pestering me about what was wrong. How do you tell your brother that you wanna hurl because you keep picturing him naked.
I went back to watching out the window, still unable to look at my brother or his boyfriend. They started talking about their plans for after school; Hayner, Pence and Olette joined in now that their argument was over. I tried to stay involved in the conversation, but not being able to look at almost half the people in the conversation made it a lot harder.
"Hey, where are Leon and Cloud?" I wondered out loud after noticing their absence from my right. They were always good for distracting me on days like today.
"Probably having sex in the janitor's closet again." Sora blurted out.
Oh. My. God. Why is everyone around me gay? I mean, I knew they were together and all, everyone in our group did. People outside of our little circle most likely had no idea. They were only affectionate in private, or when really drunk...unlike some other people, but we saw the signs. Normally I had no problem with them being together, but today was a different story. The idea of the two of them together just brought me back to the image of Sora and Riku again. I really think God hates me.
"Sora, you don't know that." Riku said much, much too late.
"What make's you think they're not. We caught them in there last time and I heard them whispering again today. What do you think they're doing?"
"Sora, can we please not discuss this." I pleaded, face in my hands.
"Fine, but I know I'm right."
"Whatever Sora, just please stop."
"Stop what?" Demyx's voice came from behind me.
"Nothing, Roxas is just upset that Cloud and Leon are having sex and he isn't."
"What?! That is not, at all, what we were just discussing."
"Well, you are getting pretty defensive all of a sudden. When was the last time you got any?"
"That's enough, I'm leaving." I attempted to get up and storm off but was stopped by Demyx's hand on my shoulder.
"Come on Roxas, he's just joking with you. There's no need to run off just yet. Plus, you haven't met my cousin yet. You can't leave until then."
With that he shoved me back into my seat and turned to wave across the cafeteria. I placed my head on the table, not wanting to be here anymore.
"So guys, I'd like you to meet my cousin Axel. He's living with me and is gonna be coming to our school from now on."
I could hear everyone else say their hello's and such but I was not in the mood to meet anyone right now. I felt Demyx's hand on my shoulder.
"Roxas, can you at least say hi?"
"Ngh" Was all I got out from my position on the table.
"What's wrong with him?" That must've been Axel. I knew it wasn't anyone else's voice.
"Apparently he's upset that he's not getting laid." Demyx said bluntly.
I lifted my head enough to get out an "am not" before slamming it back to the table. I was not willing to argue this point any further.
"You make such a strong argument." Demyx laughed, voice dripping in sarcasm. "You can sit next to Roxas, Axel. I doubt the others are coming today."
I felt Axel slide in next to me, much too close for someone I had yet to even look at. Once everyone else started to talk I felt Axel's breath on my ear, "You know we could easily change your situation." I felt his hand move to my thigh.
I flew out of my seat, grabbed my tray and almost yelled, "I'm leaving," as I tried not to run out the door. Great it was only lunch and I had been hit on by a complete stranger. I knew I should've stayed in bed.
A/N: I've been writing this forever. I wrote the first half of this chapter so long ago but haven't had time to write more until today. I also wrote the second half during the day (really, really unusual for me) so sorry if its off. Also I've been writing my original story (which you can find the link to on my main page) instead. Hope you enjoyed this. Later chapters should be better (I promise). Please review. Thanks.
