Standerdized tests; just another way to push people to thier lmits. Three hours of sitting in an big, room, the only sounds audible are the scratches of pencils, the shriek of erasers, and the 'tip tap' of the exam proctor's shoes. For six days stright they were put through this torture, and he couldn't stand it. Waking up at 4:00 in the morning only to have to sit in a room for three hours; no breaks, no talking, no Roxas. That was the worst to the Redhead; being away from his love, it drove him insane. The silence didn't help much either.
"Damn this sucks." The Redhead whispers to himself. "Five more days of this." He says staring at the test booklet, which he's yet to even open. "This is so boring. Why do they make us do this, whats the point?" he says tapping the eraser of his pencil agenst the top of his test booklet. "I may as well try to do something." He says flipping open his answer document and test booklet. "Question one: How many liters of NAOH- will be produced by combusting 2.5g of NA with..." Axel stops and scratches his head and groans. "When will we ever need to know this stuff in the real world?" He glares over at Vexen who is effortlessly scrawling answers across the lines of his paper. "Damn him. I'll bet he's having no issues with this, that prick." He says to him self. "Um, answer B looks good." He says filling in the bubble next to B. "Question 2:..."
The routine seemed to drag on for hours, the redhead tried to focus for as long as long as his patience would allow untill finally he let his mind wander once again. "I wonder what Roxas is doing? He's probably cozy in his bed. Maybe if he'd stayed over at Roxas' house last night he wouldn't be here. Right now he'd probably be with Roxas, comfortable and asleep. But then again maybe he'd still be here, Roxas was an honor student and wanted Axel to do good as well. He was always nagging him to do his work or study.
The redhead sighs. "I cant stand this anymore." He says raising his hand and closing his test and answer booklets. "Can I use the bathroom?" He asks as the Proctor reaches him, the man nodded and
Axel wastes no time standing up and hurrying out the door.
Axel laughs after he walks out the door. "Now to head to Roxas.'" He laughs running his hands through his spikey red hair. "But first, to suck up to him, so he doesn't get too mad at me. Flowers sound good, roses." On his way to Roxas' house he drops by Marluxia's place to steal some flowers from his garden.
Standing on the doorstep of the apartment Axel rings the doorbell and a sleepy Roxas answers rubbing his eyes. "A-Axel? What are you doing here, shouldn't you be in school."
"Well ya, but I couldn't resist being away from you." Axel flashes a fake smile. "Oh ya before I forget. These are for you." He hands over the roses.
"Oh Axel these are so..." He realizes what Axel is trying to do. "Hey dont think you can butter me up just like that?!?"
Axel just stammers. He wasn't expecting Roxas to figure out what he was up too.
"YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST SKIP YOUR TESTS, SHOW UP ON MY DOORSTEP WITH FLOWERS AND EXPECT IT TO BE OK!?!" Axel is taken back by this, he had never seen this side of Roxas. "YOU NEGLECT YOUR STUDIES, AND NEVER DO YOUR WORK! WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE?!?!?"
Axel just looks at Roxas for a moment and then gives him a hug. "I'm sorry. I just wanted to be with you." Axel says, his voice breaking.
All the fury Roxas had just felt seemed to disappear the instant Axel hugged him. "I-It's ok." Roxas broke, he couldn't stay mad at Axel for long but this was a new record. "Why don't we go inside? You can make it up to me in there." Roxas led Axel into the appartment closing the door behind them.
