A/N: It's been a long long long time since I last attempted fanfiction (my last attempt being a few years ago with a Fruits Basket fic titled: 'Snow in Summer' xD). Hopefully I can stick with this one until the end unlike my other attempt. :)
and I do have to admit: I never really understood the AxelxRoxas pairing until I played 358/2 (which I'm still not done with .) but after getting through some of that I can easily see why people pair them together xD.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy. Thanks for reading! :)
He stared at the text message sent from his best friend 'I'll be back soon promise :)'. He frowned angrily at his phone and felt rage boil within him. The message had been sent nearly 6 months ago, no other messages or phone calls had followed it, it was as if the sender had just disappeared from the face of the planet.
"Stupid" He muttered to himself and pressed the delete button, permanently ridding himself of that last bit of the red head that remained with him.
"Hey Rox" she prodded the sleeping boy once more in the ribs. He stirred and looked up from his place at the desk.
"What?" he asked sleepily, staring up at Xion.
She gestured to the emptying classroom around them.
"Class is over" she answered softly and held out a small slip of pink paper to him.
"Teacher told me to give this to you" she smiled apologetically.
He took the detention slip, he got one nearly every week now. And gathered his belongings before standing up and following Xion out of the classroom.
Once out of the classroom she pulled him to the side of the hallway, out of the way of the traffic the students created. He already knew what she would say, he got the lecture often enough from her nowadays.
"Roxas, I know that it's not exactly easy to handle that Axel is gone, but you've got to pull yourself together! Olette and I are worried about you, and they don't say so, but I'm sure Hayner and Pence are as well. Look, I know Axel said that he'd be back but it's been almost a year since hes left, and he hasn't tried to contact either one of us since then!" she brushed her short hair behind her ears.
"I know it might not seem fair, but I think it's time you accepted that he's not coming back to this boring hole in the wall." She gave him a sad smile.
"I miss him too" she finally said.
"But I've learned to deal with that, I think it's time you did too."
She pulled the detention form from his clenched fists "Besides" she smiled playfully as she waved it in front of his nose.
"I'm sure your mother is tired of seeing these things so often".
The school bell rang, signaling the beginning of the last class of the day a panicked look crossed Xions face.
"Oh no! Rox I'll see you later 'kay?" she shouted, halfway down the hall already as she raced to her classroom.
He watched her speed down the hall before shoving the pink form into his pants pocket. But instead of heading towards his next class, English, he bee lined for the nearest exit, a side door where he was unlikely to be spotted leaving the building. He pushed the heavy door open and stood in the warm sunlight for a moment before starting the short walk to his home.
"I don't miss him" he muttered to himself, kicking at a dandelion, sending the white seeds soaring into the breeze..
