KH: It's my promised fiction! I don't own Kingdom Hearts. I need a beta for this story so if you're interested, PM me or review! Oh yeah I forgot! This story has implied Roxas x Kairi!!
~*~
It was one of the best days of the year for Roxas. It didn't have anything to do with the said blonde boy, however. It was his best friend's fifteenth birthday. Namine Kinchi was Roxas' first and only friend. Roxas Hikari was the most popular boy in school.
That was until he got expelled from school.
All his "friends" left him. He had to get a job, and he couldn't afford enough money to get back into school. His brother, Demyx, wasn't very happy. Roxas had been saving up money. Demyx was happy, until Roxas spent it on a motorcycle.
The only friend that actually cared was Namine, his best friend since the third grade.
~*~
"What are you doing up so early?" Demyx said stretching and yawning. A very groggy Axel followed him.
Demyx worked at an aquarium from 7:00am to 5:00pm as a tour guide. Axel, well Roxas had no idea what he did. He worked from 6:00am to 10:00pm every day except weekends. Roxas worked school hours. Roxas worked at the ice cream shop from 7:00am to 6:00pm. Why did he endure that torture? Free ice cream, of course!
"Cooking!" Roxas said happily.
"What's the occasion?" Axel asked sitting along with Demyx.
"Nami's birthday!" Roxas practically sang.
"Oh yeah. Is she coming over?" Demyx asked.
"Yes! I haven't seen her since… last year." Roxas said a little sullenly. He quickly brightened and put on a goofy grin that matched his cousin Sora's. Demyx and Axel knew right away what brightened the small blonde's personality. The soft knock on the door and a light 'Roxas?' answered the question.
"Nami!" Roxas said excitedly like a three year old on Christmas day.
"Roxy!" Namine squealed and hugged Roxas.
"Happy Birthday!" Roxas said grinning again.
"Thanks!" Namine said smiling sincerely.
Roxas lit the candles one by one on the cake. Axel, Demyx, and Roxas all sang Happy Birthday to Namine. Namine took a deep breath and in one blow, blew out all the candles.
"What did you wish for, Nami?" Demyx asked as Axel started tasting the frosting on the cake.
"I can't tell you. It would never come true!" Namine said giggling.
"Well, I got a whole day planned! We'll go and eat sea salt ice cream like we used too! Then we can go to the clock tower and watch the sunset together!" Roxas said eyes shining brightly. Namine looked toward him with soft and sorry eyes.
"Um…" Namine looked guiltily away. Roxas smile fell.
"…Or…you already have plans… huh?" Roxas said unable to hide the sadness and disappointment in his voice.
"I'm so sorry Roxas! Kairi already made plans." Namine said frowning.
"Oh… okay… I just thought that since we never see each other…" Roxas said dying on the inside. He hasn't seen Namine since the expulsion. Which was a year ago.
"I'm so sorry!" Namine said bowing slightly.
"It's okay! I understand! We can hang out once you get some time." Roxas said smiling reassuringly. Namine smiled. Suddenly Namine felt a vibration in her pocket.
"Hello? ...Oh hi Kairi!" Roxas made a disgusted face. He didn't like Kairi.
"Yeah. I'm laving his house right now." Namine glanced at Roxas and saw hurt and a burning hatred in his blazing eyes. She looked at him sympathetically. Roxas could hear a slight yelling on the other end. He scowled.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm coming. See ya!" Namine hung up her phone and slid it in her pocket of her jeans.
"I'm sorry." She said. He smiled. "Don't worry. Have fun." He said as he nodded toward the door. She smiled and hugged him goodbye.
"Rox?" Axel could feel the small blonde's anger blaze.
"Roxy? You okay?" Demyx said worry covering his face.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm going for a ride." Roxas said as he took his keys from his pants pocket.
"Be careful!" Demyx called after his little brother. Roxas slammed the door shut.
"Sometimes I think he'll kill himself." Demyx sighed and shook his head. Even though it was a joke, Axel and Demyx couldn't help but shiver.
~*~
"Why are you always like that towards him?" Namine asked her best friend, Kairi
"He's my ex and I hate him for dumping me!" Kairi said glaring and scowling at the floor. Namine sighed.
"Then you got him back by pelting him with rocks and crabs when we went to the beach. Now he hates you." Namine said in a scolding voice. Kairi pouted and laughed at the memory.
Namine rolled her eyes. Her phone rang once again.
"Hello?" Namine answered and was surprised by the shaken and scared Demyx who had called her.
"What's wrong Demyx?" Namine asked a little scared herself.
"What?!" Namine said shaking. Her legs felt stiff and she couldn't move them.
"Where is he now?!" Namine asked still scared and shouting now. Even Kairi stood up a little worried.
"Alright! I'll be there in a few minutes." Namine said her voice cracking slightly. She hung up the phone.
"What's wrong?" Kairi asked. She could kind of guess.
"Roxas is in the hospital." Namine said grabbing her jacket and running towards the door.
"I'm coming." Kairi said running in her shadow.
"Why? I thought you hated him."
"I hate what he did. Not him." Even though Kairi and him weren't together she still cared about Roxas. Just because they weren't together doesn't mean she stopped caring and loving him.
"Alright." Namine said as a knowing smile graced her soft lips.
~*~
Kairi and Namine quickly got into Namine's white convertible. As the machine roared to life, Kairi had to ask.
"How'd he land in the hospital?" Kairi asked confusion making its appearance across her face.
"I don't know. All I know is he's unconscious and in the ER."
"I hope he's okay…" Kairi sighed.
"Me too." Namine said sighing and turning back to the road.
~*~
The doctor, Vexen, came out after examining Roxas.
"What's up, Vexen?" Axel said rubbing a crying Demyx's back. Kairi looked and remained silent, but Namine could tell she wanted to see Roxas.
"He was riding his motorcycle, and he missed the curve. He jumped off in time, but one of the something came off and hit his head." Vexen sighed and glared slightly at Demyx. Both girls and Vexen knew that Demyx could have prevented this if he had been strict with Roxas.
"Is he okay?" Demyx ignored the glare and asked for the sake of the remainder of his sanity.
"I honestly don't know. I don't know when he will wake up or the aftermath of the trauma of the hit. I don't really even know if he'll wake up from his coma." Vexen said worriedly.
At this newfound horror, Demyx started bawling uncontrollably. Even Axel and the girls were shaking.
"Vexen!" A short blue haired boy came running out.
"What is it Zexion?" The boy Zexion, gasped for breath.
"Roxas woke up! But-" As Zexion said this Axel, Demyx, Kairi, and Namine ran past him into the room.
Sure enough, Roxas was awake. The boy was covered in bandages. His upper torso was completely covered in bandages. His head was also covered in the medical supplies. Some blood leaked through the cover.
"Roxas!" Demyx cried near his bed. Roxas seemed a little startled.
"I'm so happy you're okay!" Demyx cried as he hugged his younger brother.
"Um…" Roxas said timidly. Roxas wasn't a timid person. Only when Demyx or Axel was mad. Namine thought this was why he seemed quiet.
"What's wrong, Roxy?" Demyx said in a gentle voice as to not scare the already timid boy.
"Well… Who are you?"
KH: So yeah I hope you like it! :D
