Anxiety

Okay so this is the prologue, it's really crappy but whatever. The plot probably won't get "interesting" till about chapter….two.. if I'm lucky =_=;

The title is loosely based on the song "Anxiety – by the Black eyed peas and Papa Roach" and the rest of the chapters will be named after songs I think really fit them.

DISCLAIMER: As much as I'd love to own the rights to these lameoid characters of Kingdom Hearts, unfortunately I don't -insert majorly sad emoticon here-. All rights belong to Square Enix and Disney.

They won't even let me own Sora.. I mean C'MONNN, he's not like, THAT important! It's not like he's the main character of the majority of the kh games or anything so whyyyy won't they let me have him Dx (The amount sarcasm in that which cannot be heard over the internet is incomprehensible)

Damn Selfish Bastards. I have a mind to shove Soras Crabclaw Keyblade right up their big fat-

AND ON WITH THE STORY

Prologue: Are you ready - Three Days Grace "So you think you know how this story goes, are you ready for this?"

Ever since he had known Seifer, Hayner had absolutely loathed him.

There was just something about the way he walked and talked that would really get on Hayners nerves. Even the way he wore his stupid black 'Ore' beanie, which, somehow, gave away so much about Seifer's personality with one simple word* irritated him

Cocky, obnoxious, over confident.

If Hayner had to describe Seifer in 3 words, those would be his choice of words without a doubt.

Even though Hayner himself had a bit of a reputation for being too stubborn and headstrong, as far as he was concerned, his faults were minor in comparison to Seifer's.

And yet despite that, he couldn't help but be mesmerised by him.

Aside from the obvious hatred towards him, Hayner just could not comprehend what the other feelings that would stir up inside him fiercely whenever he so much as glanced towards the older boy were.

He had never felt those particular sensations before in his life, and the fact that he didn't know what they were would irritate him to the point of lashing out at Seifer aggressively to help vent the frustration. Which, inevitably, had the opposite effect.

As Seifer would grab the front of Hayner's black singlet and push him up against the nearest possible surface, staring at him with angry, crystal blue eyes, Hayners face would heat up fiercely, and his body would start trembling slightly, although Hayner would always shake it off as being caused by his frustration towards the older blonde, and the feelings Hayner had been desperately trying to rid himself of, would in fact worsen.

After Hayner begun to realise that his current tactics were failing, he decided that avoiding Seifer as much as possible seemed like a good approach.

This proved to be a difficult task for Hayner, and all his efforts seemed pointless after one day…..

"Okay class, due to a large amount of requests, you will be given new seating arrangements from this day forward!"

Everyone the senior class at Twilight Town's local (and only) school, murmured excitedly, including Hayner himself.

Due to the town's small population, there was only a need for one school, which consisted of only 42 students. The school had been split between 2 classes because of this, the junior class, which children aged five to twelve were in, and the senior class. This consisted of students aged 13 to 18. However, once most of the students reached 18, they would leave Twilight Town in pursuit of their dreams or enrol at a university in another city. Few would stay and find work in their hometown.

And because of the less than average amount of "seniors" in the school, ultimately, Hayner was forced to be in the same class as his much hated rival; Seifer Almasy.

Hayner glanced at his three best friends, Roxas, Pence and the only female in his group, Olette, and grinned. Roxas, catching his eye, grinned back exuberantly. They had been four of the main contributors to the "requests" about changing seats the teacher had been demanded and were now hoping wishfully that they would all be seated together. As the teacher called out their names to go out to the front desk and pull out a number from a box which would determine their new seats, Hayner noticed that Seifer, who happened to be sitting several seats in front of him, seemed to be staring at him. "What?" He asked, unnerved. Seifer, looking bored, with his hand under his chin supporting his head, said casually "I was just thinking about how bogus it would be to have to sit next to a chickenwuss like you". Flustered, Hayner managed to retort curtly "Oh yeah? I could say the same about you, you Jerkoff" Seifer rolled his eyes and smirked. "Nice comeback blondie" Hayner glared at him. "Have you looked in a mirror recently? In case you haven't noticed, you're blonde too.. Although I'd try to avoid mirrors as much as possible too if I were as ugly as you. Idiot." Seifer, clearly angered by Hayners harsh words, stood up suddenly, knocking over his chair and surprising the rest of the class and even the teacher herself, who had all been too involved in their very skittish conversations about the new seating arrangements to notice the reasonably loud argument between the two class hot-heads previously. "You'd better watch what you say lamer," his frown suddenly turned into a mocking grin "Besides.. Who was the idiot that only managed to score 16% on his last test?" Hayner was about to reply when he was distracted by a giggle. He turned around to face Olette, who was now doubled over in laughter at something quite oblivious to everyone else. At this point, the entire class's focus was on Olette, including Hayner and Seifer, who seemed to have forgotten all about their argument due to the unexpected response they got from the disruptive scene they were causing.

Seifer frowned at her in perplexity "What's so funny?" The obviously extremely entertained girl glanced at Hayner, whose face mirrored Seifers, then at Seifer, before returning her gaze to Hayner again.

She had finally stopped laughing, but the massive grin on her face remained "Sorry, don't mind me".

Seifer and Hayner glanced at each other, eyebrows raised in bewilderment then returned their weary gaze to Olette. "How could we possibly NOT mind you when you're laughing like that?" Before Olette could reply, the teacher suddenly spoke up "Alright enough of that, let's continue with the seat arrangements".

Hayner slumped forward in his chair, pouting angrily, waiting for his name to be called.

"Hayner Bardus" Hayner leapt out of his chair swiftly and rushed to the teachers desk, eagerly putting his hand in the hole in the top of the box which contained the desk numbers and grabbed the first piece of paper he could get a hold of, pulling it out hastily.

He beamed as he realised he had drawn his lucky number; 18. Pence came bounding up behind him, with Roxas and Olette following, impatiently asking Hayner what number he had gotten. Both his and Roxas' face sunk as they realised they wouldn't be sitting together, or anywhere near each other for that matter, Roxas had gotten seat number 9, 2 rows in front of Hayner. And poor Pence had gotten an unlucky 3, which meant he would be sitting dead smack in front of the teacher.

Olette and Hayner grinned in sync when they discovered they would be sitting next to each other, as she had gotten number 19. The four friends jumped when they heard a loud bang, evidentially caused by an outraged Rai, who had apparently gotten number 2, the seat right next to Pence, also in front of the teacher. As If being separated from his two beloved companions Fuu and Seifer whom he had ALWAYS sat with up til that day (It had always striked Hayner as being odd how they had somehow managed to be seated together EVERYTIME the class was made to change seats) weren't enough, he was forced to sit up the very front, in a place where causing trouble and bludging were impossible. Rai wasn't the only one complaining, the other students were also upset to learn this, as Rai sitting in the front row would make it very difficult for them to see the board, due to his large and bulky frame. Fuu and Seifer were also trying to convince the teacher to solve the issue, but despite their best efforts, the teacher refused to allow him to change seats. "If Rai changes seats, then all the other students who weren't happy with their new seats will want to change as well".

Hayner, Olette and Roxas all turned their heads to face a very pale Pence, with pity written all over their faces. They all muttered words of encouragement and reassurance as he staggered towards his new seat in shock. As the last few students pulled out their numbers from the box of fate, the other students who had already gotten numbers, began to organise themselves and settle in their new seats. Hayner and Olette sat at their new seats, Olette looking quite satisfied, but Hayner frowning. He leaned over and whispered "So what was all that about earlier?" she blinked at him, trying to hide a smile "What are you talking about?" "You know damn well what I'm talking about Olette! What was that?"

The brunette seemed to find his curiosity amusing, and seemed hesitant to tell him what it was she found so hysterical before. After a moment of awkward silence between them, she gave in and explained it to him; Well you know, seeing you and Seifer fight like that… it's like you were an old married couple or something.." She averted her eyes from Hayner's face, which had gone from being expressionless due to shock, to disbelief of the immensely retarded statement she had conducted, and finally, bright red with embarrassment.

"Hey Lamer, mind moving your bag so I can sit down" Hayner froze. He could recognise that voice anywhere. He turned around slowly and stared at the blonde bully who seemed to tower over him, in extreme horror. "What… did you just say?" Hayner asked anxiously "I SAID: move your stupid bag out of my way. I would like to sit down if that's okay with you" he replied impatiently.

Hayner stared at him in astonishment. "You're kidding!"

" 'fraid not lamer. Looks like I'm stuck sitting next to you."

Time seemed to stop as soon as Seifer had finished speaking that sentence.

Hayner felt like his entire body had turned into stone.

"NO! THIS CAN NOT BE HAPPENING!" He mentally screamed to himself.

Seifer stared back at him, amazed by the amount of wrinkles Hayner had been able to conjuncture on his scrunched up face. "Hey lamer, what's with the face? You constipated or something"

Olette chuckled amusedly as Hayner slammed his forehead against his desk in despair.

And from that day forward, Hayner's plan of avoiding Seifer was shattered.

* Seifer's beanie has the Kanji for "Ore" which is the informal, masculine way of saying "I" in Japanese. It can generally mean the speaker considers himself to be superior.

I know what you guys are most likely thinking "Oh fabulous, one of those totally lame and stereotypical stories with the whole 'the-two-boys-bicker-trivially- until- they- both-realise-their-feelings-for-each-other-fuck-like-energiser-bunnies-until-their-insanely-high-level-sex-drive-calms-down-which-will-most-likely-be-NEVER!"

But trust me it's not! *nods ferociously in an attempt to convince myself and whoever reads this that this fanfic will NOT turn into a stereotypical story with a plot like the one mentioned earlier*

Well I'm planning on involving a crazy ass, mentally unstable mother who thinks her son is her dead husband (OH GOD WHAT THE DIL? – trust me there's no… er.. incestness? O_o) and an unintentional and unknowing rebellion against Kelloggs master plan to lower the sex drive in horny teenage boys*.

*Here's a fun sex fact, courtesy of my best friends ipod touch sex facts app, did you know cornflakes have an Anaphrodisiac in them that lowers the sex drive.

Staying awake till 5 47 am makes a certain someone write hella weird and unnecessary intro whatsits. Bear with me peoples

Oh by the way, Hayners last name means "fool" in Latin apparently… fits him pre' well dontcha think? ;)

NIGHT GUYS
