Disclaimer: If I owned Kingdom Hearts I wouldn't be writing FAN fiction. Only one I'm doing for this story.
Deep breaths. Deeeeeeep breaths.
Don't look at me.
Don't fucking look at me.
Axel felt like he was going insane. This wasn't fair. This wasn't fucking fair. The fifteen year old didn't want to go back to school he couldn't go back to school he was freaking the fuck out! He pulled his arms tighter around his body. Stupid fucking therapist...he just got out of his last fucking stupid home! Even Reno agreed he shouldn't be at school! But no, no the fucking therapist had decided that HE HAD THE ALL KNOWING AUTHORITY over the red head's life.
Stupid stupid man with his fucking credentials... Didn't know what the fuck he was talking about. Fortunately, Axel's cousin Reno, now his caretaker, had decided to move to an entirely different city when Axel moved in with him. They now lived with Reno's boyfriend, Rude, in a place where Axel's "friends" and "family" would never find him. The therapist was here too.
...
Yay...
Axel walked into his new classroom, B303. He sat in the farthest back corner he could find and sat down, immediately pulling a notebook and looking into it. He wasn't looking at anything in particular...he was just...looking. Slowly other students began to file into the class and sit around him. They were all so freickin loud...
Suddenly a bluenette sat next to him. Damn! Axel sat here to be left alone! He looked over a little bit and couldn't help but stare. The boy...had amazing eyes. They were a piercing gold, matching perfectly with his stone cold face. His blue hair framed his face and stuck up in the back like the butt of a duck but his eyes... His eyes were the most noticeable part of him. They...glowed some how. As though to hypnotize people into walking into some proverbial darkness. They looked too wicked to do anything else.
"Can I help you?" Axel snapped out of his trance to see the boy staring back at him, a slight look of irritation of his face. It was then Axel noticed the surprisingly prominent scar on the boy's face in the shape of an "x". "You're staring at me."
"Sorry." Axel quickly muttered and turned back to his notebook, trying to make himself look busy, and probably failing.
"You're new here." It was was more of a statement than a question. "Who are you?"
"My name is Axel." He said. "Got it memorized?"
"I can try." Came a snarky remark. After a few seconds the boy looked up and raised a questioning eyebrow and Axel's confused face. "What?"
"Aren't you going to tell me your name?" He asked. "I mean, that's generally how these things work, right? You ask me my name, I tell you to get it memorized, and then you say yours? After memorizing mine of course." The boy rolled his eyes.
"If you have to know, my name is Saïx." Saïx said, finally relenting. "Not that you'll need it. I'm not interested in friendships."
"Fine, I'm not interested either." Axel muttered, turning away from Saïx once again. Guess what? He was glad the kid he was stuck next to had a stick up his ass. Maybe if Axel was enough of a jerk, this Saïx kid would go away and then he'd never have to talk to anyone ever again. Ah the good life. Axel turned to say something again before being interrupted.
"Alright class, we have a new student joining us today!" The overly cheery voice of their teacher bounced sharply on the walls. Axel remembered her name as Ms. Aeris. He felt like he wasn't going to like Ms. Aerie very much. "Axel, how about you stand up and introduce yourself?" He tried to shake his head but she motioned him up to the front of the class, finally gently pulling him up from his seat.
As she dragged him to the front of the class he ripped his arm away from her and followed with a slight scowl on his face. How dare she touch him... How fucking dare when?! She didn't even ask! She didn't have the fucking right to touch him!
"Alright Axel, tell us something we don't know about you."
"You mean aside from everything?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. Like legit, what the fuck? "Fine. My name is Axel Sinclair, I am fifteen years old, and my two favorite hobbies are gaming and dancing. Can I sit down now?" Ms. Aeris nodded and motioned him to his seat, this time not laying a hand on him. He quickly sat down as she began her lesson. It was something on plants. The pink haired kid looked into it. Axel, however, was not.
After class Axel hung back till everyone was gone to make his way to the door. He didn't want to bump anyone on his way out. As he walked out however he was stopped by the feeling of a hand on his shoulder. He flinched away and turned, ready to bite the person's head off. He stopped when he saw those golden eyes.
"I just wanted to see if it was all the time or just because a teacher touched you." Saïx explained, taking his hand off the boy's shoulder. Axel glared.
"You..." He growled, trying to express his emotions. "You don't get to decide you want to test it out! I'm not a toy, got it memorized?!" Saïx simply walked past him, not even looking back. "Hey! I'm not done with you!"
"I'll see you tomorrow." That was the quiet response Axel got and the Saïx was gone, having made his way around the corner and away from the angry red head. Axel sighed. It wasn't even fucking worth. He wouldn't see him tomorrow. He didn't want friends.
"So, Axel, how was your day?"
"It was fine asshole."
"Axel, we talked about respect. My name is Dr. Shinra, not 'asshole'."
"Whatever."
"We will work more on that later. So, about your day, did you make any friends?"
"...No."
So this was a prompt my kohai gave me. She suggested an AkuSai fic where Axel was afraid of being touched. I have a very similar thing that I've been working on, so a lot of Axel's thoughts are like mine from the past. And why is Axel so angry? Well...you'll just have to stick around and find out.
