SUMMARY: Sora, Riku, Roxas, and Axel are attending a field trip to Chicago. Axel and Roxas, tired of their friends' obliviousness, decide to take matters into their own hands to get the two together. Using Axel's cunning and Roxas' intelligence they set the whole week up so the two will have plenty of time alone together. But will their plans backfire? Will Riku or Sora find out what the duo is up to? And what happens when someone slips a mysterious substance into Roxas' drink at a rave?
Making Arrangements
A bell rang in the small cramped classroom, causing the petite jittery female teacher behind the black desk to jump. She shook her head nervously before clearing her throat to capture the attention of her class.
"O-Okay so make sure your forms are turned in for our field trip, and I will see you all tomorrow morning." She said meekly as chairs scraped against the floor, papers and backpacks rustled, and students' voices and laughter roared as they all rushed out of the classroom. All but four that was.
The four remaining boys made up the most unusual group of friends in Oni High, but no one dared challenge them since one of their ringleaders father held a lot of influence in Lancaster, Ohio. Riku was also the school hotshot, a total smartass, and rather un-noticing of anyone who wasn't in their little group. None the less, he had girls fawning over his perfection. They were hypnotized by his head turning Caribbean blue eyes, his shoulder length platinum blonde hair, and his perfectly smooth pale skin.
Axel was the other 'ringleader' in the small group. His family was less influential then the Tottori family but he held school influence by fear. He wasn't a bully, but his pyromaniacal tendencies had people avoiding contact with the teen. This, however, was not enough to contain the fan girls. With his thick flaming red hair that stuck out in a style that strangely resembled that of a porcupine, his slightly tanned skin, and his striking emerald eyes he was able to seize the heart of almost any girl in school.
Sora and Roxas were the twins of the group; they looked quite similar but their personalities were polar opposites. Roxas was the older of the two by a couple of minutes and took on the role of a depressed emo kid. He was known to be very antisocial but was able to uphold a moderate fan club as well. He had pleasing yet rather unrevealing cyan blue eyes, scruffy dusty blonde hair that was rather disheveled and pointing in one general direction, and smooth olive toned skin.
His twin Sora had the same eyes only a slightly deeper azure blue color. He had gravity defying spiky chestnut hair, and perfect tan skin, and as far as personality went Sora was rather bouncy and friendly. He had an aura that radiated innocence and drew people to him, naturally expanding into one of his own rather generous fan clubs.
They all sat in a cluster of desks in the middle of the classroom waiting for the teacher and last group of students to exit before continuing their conversation.
"So Riku, you and Axel are going on this fieldtrip right?" Sora asked cocking his head to the side.
"Of course, we would never pass up an opportunity to get out of school for a week, besides it actually sounds like fun for once. I love Chicago." Riku told him, his heart fluttering as Sora smiled softly at him.
Axel looked over to Sora's brother who seemed to be deep in thought about something. "Roxas you're going?" he asked, slightly disbelieving. Roxas never seemed the school spirit type.
Roxas looked up from the spot on the wall he had been staring at and into the emerald green eyes "Sora is making me go." He said sounding uncaring.
Sora rolled his eyes, "you know you secretly want to go you just wont admit it." He said rather confidently.
Roxas shrugged; he would never admit to anyone that he secretly wanted to go on this field trip because he wanted to see Romeo and Juliet at Shakespeare's theater. It was far too embarrassing and Sora would never let him live it down.
Riku smiled at Sora when a thought came to him. He smirked turning to Axel. "Hey Axel, were still on for the rave right?"
Axel looked up, his malicious pyromaniac grin now perfectly fit upon his face. "Hell yeah!" was his simple yet keen reply. "How bout' you two?" he asked, turning to the twins, his sinister smile still in place.
Sora's face visibly paled "R-rave? Aren't those things dangerous, not to mention illegal. One of us could get raped or worse, k-killed." He stammered.
Axel rolled his eyes "I would never let anything happen to you." Riku said in a reassuring voice and putting a protective hand on his small shoulder. Roxas scooted away from the two rolling his eyes.
"You going Rox?" His head shot up to look at the red head who was looking at him with what (he thought) seemed like hope.
"Sure." he answered in his usual monotone voice, as not to seem like he really wanted to go. "How are we suppose to get past the teachers?" Sora asked, fear returning to his crystal blue eyes at the thought of being caught sneaking out to an illegal rave.
Riku laughed, amused at his innocence, "Axel and I have been sneaking around since we were four, there is no way we would get caught." He replied in a confident tone. Sora sighed, still unconvinced by Riku's certainty.
"Sora, Do you remember that whole bomb threat incident from last month?" Axel asked smirking as the brunette paled. Of course he remembered. He had been terrified and made Riku spend the night for fear they might have been after them. "That was all devised by yours truly!" he said pompously.
Sora's eyes narrowed as he turned to look at Riku who was grinning sheepishly at his friend. "You?…?" Sora asked, his lower lip protruding and quivering.
"Sorry." he said, awkwardly scratching the back of his head as Sora punched him on his muscular arm.
"I was scared!"
"I know."
Roxas couldn't help but laugh putting down his wall of impassiveness "Nice work," he said looking at Axel and regretting his statement almost instantly.
Axels smile swelled and his heartbeat doubled as he watched the blonde laughing lightly. "Thanks" he said, trying to quiet his hammering heart and figure out just why he was acting like this.
It was Riku's turn to smirk as he noticed his friends sudden daze and turned to Roxas, saving Axel the need to form a coherent sentence. "It was pretty ingenious." He said in the same vain demeanor. "We even had Sora convinced." He placed his hand on the brunettes shoulder once more.
"Sora is so naïve you could tell him the earth was a cube and he would believe you." Roxas said attempting to control his laughter.
"Would not." Sora huffed sticking his tongue out in his brothers direction, causing all of them to laugh except Sora, who continued pouting.
Once Axel contained his outburst he looked over to the clock above the door. "Oh, I think you two just missed the bus."
"Shit!" Roxas swore rather loudly, grabbing his white and black checkered backpack from the table that he was leaning on and slinging it over his shoulder. "Now we have to walk."
Axel held out an arm to catch the blonde in his tracks. "I'll drive you." He offered: smiling in what Roxas thought was an overly sweet manner.
This caused Riku to erupt in laughter again. "I wouldn't drive with him unless your suicidal." He informed Roxas trying horribly to control his laughter. Axel attempted a none to effective(yet somehow still adorable) pout causing Riku to laugh even harder.
"Still haven't perfected that yet." Riku said in his arrogant mocking voice.
"I'm not that bad." Axel said defending himself.
Riku shook his head "Every time you get in a car with Axel it is a near death experience." He said jestingly looking over at Roxas.
"I think I'll risk it, plus I always kind of wanted to know what it feels like to die." Axel huffed this time.
"Well do what ever you want. I'm walking. Sora you want to come?" He asked in what he hoped wasn't an overly egger voice. Sora's face brightened at Riku's offer and he grabbed his sky blue Jan Sport back pack, rushing over to join his friend.
"I would love a walk! I think I'm getting fat." He said poking his stomach.
"You're a stick, which I am still unable to understand, as you eat the same amount as a killer whale." Sora giggled slightly as Riku chivalrously opened the door for him before turning back to wave at the other two readjusting his own deep grey backpack before striding after Sora.
Axel shook his head "idiots." he murmured under his breath.
Roxas nodded "Do you think either of them could be anymore oblivious?" he asked thoughtfully, while stepping around to the other side of the desk.
"That's impossible." He said laughing. "Maybe we should help them, you know, give them a little push." He said his smirk coming back into play.
"How?" Roxas asked, looking over at his friend who was still grinning like a maniac.
"Oh, I have a few ideas up my sleeve. Starting with this trip." He said, casting Roxas a wink; that in any other case would have been taken suggestively.
"What are you planning?" he asked, sounding slightly interested.
"Well, first, we're going to have to shuffle the room arrangements around slightly."
"What?" Roxas asked cynically
"I'm going to make it so they will have to share a room." He said slowly, clearly pronouncing each syllable.
Roxas hit him in the back of the head "And how, pray tell, are you going to do that?" He asked unconvinced.
"I happen to be very skilled in computer hacking." He said proudly. Roxas raised an eyebrow in disbelief. "Okay well my cousin's boyfriend is a professional hacker and he taught me the basics."
Roxas rolled his eyes but followed as Axel walked over to the teachers computer. Axel placed himself in the computer chair as Roxas stood behind him slightly leaning over his shoulder so he was able to prop himself up on the desk with his palms.
Axel strummed his long slender fingers against the keyboard a moment before a smile reached his lips. He quickly entered a password and user name that was a mere blur to Roxas, whose jaw dropped as the computer began to load. Axel leaded back in the computer chair, mentally giving himself a pat on the back for his good work. He looked over at the blonde who still had a shocked look on his face
"Impressed?" he asked.
"Surprisingly…yes." Roxas said, not daring to look over at the red head who was now smirking even broader with triumph.
The formal blue desktop and standard arrangement of 20 some odd icons slowly appeared on the screen.
Axel leaned forward and grabbed the mouse. He opened a web browser and proceeded through the list of previously searched sites grinning at some of them before identifying and selecting the one he wanted. An elegant web page with the words The Ritz Carlton in the upper left hand corner appeared on the screen. After selecting the reservations tab he hit another one labeled 'previous reservations'.
Roxas watched in awe as his friend pulled up a black box with white letters that made no sense to him. Axel, however, understood and was back to the web page entering a number of sorts into a bar. A second later a map of the third floor showed up with more tabs. He chose the tab titled rearrange and was this time presented with a list of names and room numbers.
"Just as I thought," he said as he came upon Roxas' and Sora's names, "she roomed the two of you together and I'm willing to bet she probably made the senseless choice of allowing Riku and I to share a room." Sure enough, their dotty teacher had made that very mistake. He effortlessly switched the rooms before hitting another tab and clicking on Riku's name
"I figure one more push couldn't hurt." he said grinning.
"What push?" Roxas asked.
"I'll just change their room arrangements a little more so that they have to share a single bed." He said in an evil voice.
A smirk passed on to Roxas this time "Because that's not going over board at all."
"Of course not, Sora might not think much of sharing a bed with Riku but it's sure to torture Riku into action." He said maliciously.
Roxas thought for a moment before a corrupt smile crossed his face as well "Doesn't help Riku much that Sora likes to sleep in his boxers." Ha added wickedly.
"This trip is going to be so much fun my dear Roxy."
He let the nickname slide, knowing full well it would only provoke Axel more and allowed himself to smile "If they don't move forward on this trip I'm going to have to strangle them both."
"Oh I'll help with that." Axel said happily as he turned the computer off. "We'd better head home before they get suspicious and wonder what has happened to us."
"Yeah probably." He agreed, moving his backpack so it was slung comfortably over one shoulder. Axel walked over to the door and held it open as Riku had previously done. "After you." He said. Roxas shook his head as he walked through the open door.
"I'm parked in the left lot." Axel told Roxas stepping into stride with him. They walked in relative silence through the school hallways until they reached the parking lot. Roxas allowed Axel to lead him through the parking lot.
Roxas looked around the line of scattered cars vaguely wondering which car was Axel's until he saw Axel stop in front of a flaming red mustang. Roxas halted behind the crimson car, mouth agape, it wasn't until then that he realized he had never seen Axel's car before, probably because Riku was always the one to pick him and Sora up. Axel looked over at his friend smiling, at his awestruck face.
"She wont bite you know." he said, placing the key into the lock on the door. Roxas felt the heat rush to his face as he moved to the passenger side of the car and slid in setting is backpack on the ground in front of his feet, Axel doing the same a second later.
Axel put the keys into the ignition, jarring both Roxas and the car. Roxas quickly remembered Riku's advice and reached for his seat belt. Axel looked over and smirked at the blonde who only now seemed to second guess his original decision.
He laughed lightly as he pulled the car into reverse and skillfully pulled out of his spot and around the dozen or so remaining cars until they were out of the parking lot. Roxas sighed; he wasn't bad at all. He relaxed his grip on the seat belt.
Axel's maniacal grin returned as he pressed his foot on the gas, accelerating to a speed of 95mph. Roxas' death grip returned to the seatbelt and he used his other hand to clutch the 'oh-shit-handle'.
Axel couldn't help but smile at his friends distress as he reached forward and flipped on the radio. Blaring music poured out, causing the already uneasy blonde to jump, and the amused red head to laugh.
Roxas sent Axel an un-noticed death glare in the direction of his friend who was busy rapping his hands against the steering wheel in time to the music. Roxas grumbled, afraid to look out the window thinking his lunch might come up again. He faintly registered the change in song as he was concentrating on the floor. What he did hear made him completely forget the dangerous speed the car was traveling at and he looked up.
"Come to me
Play with me
Can't you see
I'm just the sex machine."
Roxas blushed at his friends crude words, hanging his head and covering his face with his hair to hide it from the red head who continued singing.
"Come
Sex
Play
Sex
Can't
Sex
Sex machine."
None of these vulgar lyrics, however, were anywhere enough to prepare the already blushing Roxas from what was next to come in the song.
"Aaaaaaahhhh
Aaaahhhh
Oooohhhh
Aaaahhhh
Ohhhh yesssss
Ohhhhhh yeeeeeesssssssssss."
Axel didn't even have the modesty to speak these lines. He actually moaned them, surprising the huddled blonde greatly by arousing him. He curled away from Axel, mentally chastising himself for thinking that way about a friend.
The red head looked over at Roxas, a concerned look spreading over his face "Are you okay?" he asked loudly over the music.
"Y-yeah I think so." He lied trying to get rid of the annoying growing heat in his face.
"What's wrong?" he said, not buying his friends lie for a minute.
"Your going 50 miles over the speed limit." He complained, not really even thinking about the dangerous nature of his friends driving at the moment.
"Fast is fun though."
"Haven't you ever been caught?"
"Nope "I'm illusive." He said smiling evilly once again.
Roxas blinked now able to lift his head and look at him "Wow I'm surprised you even know what that word means."
Axel faked a look of hurt pulling it off surprisingly well "I'm not stupid." His tone matched Hammy's voice from Over The Hedge perfectly.
Roxas yet again rolled his eyes as a smile cracked his face at his friends childish nature.
Axel smiled as well as he skillfully pulled to the curb in front of Roxas' house not jerking the car at all. "Here we are." He said in a flight attendant fashion. Looking out of his windshield. "Looks like we're just in time to." He said pointing to the corner. Sure enough Riku and Sora had just rounded the corner and were now walking towards the house .
"You coming in?" Roxas asked, his hand hovering over the handle of the door.
"Sure." He said, opening his door and sliding out. Roxas pulled his own handle smiling for an unknown reason as he slid out of the car.
Sora and Riku had now reached the front of the house. They stood across from Axel and Roxas casting them both scrutinizing looks as if trying to pick something out of their usual behavior.
Axel and Roxas looked at each other questioningly. They both shrugged and turned back to the other two looking puzzled.
The sound of a door opening made them all look up at the house.
"Sora, Roxas get your a-Axel, Riku I'm so glad to see you two!" she said, walking down the porch steps. She was a beautiful woman with long dusty blonde hair that would have fallen halfway down her back but was pulled up neatly in a dark purple hair tie. She also had dazzling eyes, a shade between that of her twins, and a petite figure with smooth olive skin.
She walked over to the teens who were staring at her, still shocked by her sudden appearance, and brought Riku and Axel into a bone crushing hug "I missed you two so much. I feel like I haven't seen you in years."
"Um…mom, it's only been three days." Sora said, smiling sympathetically at Riku.
"I know that!" she said glaring at her son "but it feels like so much longer."
"It's great to see you too, Mrs. Bailey." Axel said, fooling no one except their mother with his chivalry.
"Axel, now how many times have I told you call me mom Riku does and your over here just as often as him."
"Sorry, mom." He said trying not to smile at their usual routine as she took another opportunity to hug him again.
She released him a moment later looking at the two taller teens "Now you must stay for dinner." She said rather forcefully but never losing her comforting smile.
"Sure mom." They both said in unison, knowing better then to refuse the twins' mom anything.
"Great!" she exclaimed overly happy "I'll go finish, it should be done in an ten minutes I'll call you then." She said very quickly, before rushing off back into the house.
"Your mom still on those hyper tension pills?" Riku asked once she had disappeared beyond the door.
Sora and Roxas both laughed "she quit them yesterday. She said she didn't like how they made here feel." Roxas said. They all laughed, turning to walking into the house and in the living room.
It was a large homey room with contemporary décor. There was a slick black entertainment center with a 60 inch plasma screen T.V. A large tan sofa with blue and brown accent pillows sat in the middle of the room with two matching chairs scattered on the other side.
Riku plopped himself down gracefully onto the couch, followed not-so-gracefully by Sora. Axel and Roxas took their prospective seat on the two arm chairs.
"So do you guys want me to pick you both up tomorrow morning?" Riku asked the twins.
"Sure." Sora replied cheerily. "It would be a lot easier then lugging all of those bags on the bus."
"Why cant I drive?" Axel asked in a sad voice.
Roxas' eyes noticeably widened "Riku lives closer." He said quickly
"Yeah and I'll be able to actually get them there on time." Riku said "You may be a speed demon but that still can't make up for leaving 45 minutes late." Axel childishly stuck out his tongue at him as the twins' mom walked in.
"Dinner is ready guys." She said in her usual hyper voice.
"Good I'm starving." Said Roxas, getting up from his chair.
"Me too." Axel agreed, following Roxas' suit.
"Your always hungry Axel." Sora said.
"So are you." Riku pointed out.
They all laughed and walked into the kitchen.
