Beep, Beep! Beep, Beep, Beep!

I jumped up from my peaceful slumber at this atrocious sound coming from the night stand next to my bed in my, small, checkerboard covered room. I let out a yawn as I turn off my alarm clock, stretching my arms getting any unwanted kinks out.

I plop back down in my small twin sized bed. Being that it's Saturday, I don't really plan on doing much. 'Well, except for maybe going to see my boyfriend. Wait...boyfriend? Can I even call him that? Are we...at that stage?' I question myself as I think about what had happened that previous night.

I remember it like it was yesterday...well...because it was yesterday. That was the day that my life changed forever. It's funny, actually. There are so many little surprises in this roller coaster we call life...

FLASHBACK

"Hey! Roxas!"

I hear the familiar voice call me from behind. I turn around as the tall, red headed, wildly spiked haired, best friend of mine calls me.

"Hey, Ax."

That's my nickname for him.

"What's up?"

I ask, quite curious as to why he ran all the way down the stairs to catch me before I left school – or excuse me, HELL.

"Oh...um...not much. It's just..."

I give him a questioning look as I watch his movements closely. He has all of his weight on one foot, the left to be exact, he's scratching the back of his flaming red head, while refusing to look me in the eyes. It's strange. He's never acted like this before.

It's almost as if...he's nervous. But...why? I ask myself as our eyes finally connect, but then, gone in a flash as he turns away.

"Axel? Are you alright?"

"Who? Me? Of course everything's alright, Roxy! Perfectly fine! Never been better!"

"Um...are you sure?"

I reach out to touch his shoulder, just trying to be friendly and reassuring. But, alas, that failed miserably. Axel jumped as I touched his shoulder. Something must really be bothering him.

'I...I just wish he would tell me. We tell each other everything...'

"Axel...What is it? Come on, just tell me..."

"Um...um...just...just...I...meet me at the park by my apartment at 5 o'clock!" He yelled at me as he ran out of hell. Fine, fine, fine. School.

As I walked out of school, I noticed that my cousin Sora, his boyfriend Riku, my brother Cloud, his boyfriend Zack, and Hayner, were all standing outside waiting on me.

"Hey guys. Sorry about the wait." I say with a sheepish smile on my face. I really didn't mean to keep them waiting.

"It's cool, Rox. We were just talking. So what took you so long?"

"Eh. Nothing much. Axel has just been acting really weird lately." I say, concern most likely in my voice, judging by the worried looks they gave me. Yet...I caught these almost...smirks...they gave each other. Do they know something I don't?

"Weird how?"

"Um...I don't know. He stopped me in the hall on my way out, and was trying to tell me something. But he just couldn't get it out. And...he seamed...almost...nervous."

"Hm."

"Yeah...um...Sora...would you by any chance, maybe know something I don't? Well, not just Sora. All of you. I saw those smirks and fake worried faces!"

"WHAT. No. Um...I...Why would I, Roxy? Heheh. Nope. Nothing to hide he-"

"Nope!" The whole group cut Sora's nervous rambling off.

"YEAH. What they said."

Sora says with a smile as big as the Cheshire cats plastered on his face.

"Uh-huh. Yeah, ya know, 'cause I COMPLETELY buy that."

I reply with sarcasm dripping off every word. As I walk off down the side walk headed towards my house.

"Few...he fell for-OUCH"

I hear Sora say from behind me as the group started following me and Sora got a lovely elbow in the rib. Courtesy of Hayner, Of course.

Sora wined some then hid in Riku's arms, which Riku didn't mind at all.

'Oh couples these days. So mushy.'

I watch Riku comfort Sora, and Zack sneaking an arm around my brother's waist as Cloud giggles and blushes.

Hayner, being the only single one there besides me, jogs to catch up with me. Leaving the other mushy couples to their mushiness. Well, he isn't really single. But he might as well be. We all hate his boyfriend. If you can even call him that. His name is Seifer.

Seifer the school bully, who doesn't treat Hayner right.

Oh, and did I mention that he just want's him for sex? And that he doesn't even call Hayner by his real name? Nope. In Seifer's mind Hayner's name is: Bitch.

But Hayner seams to be some what happy, and I don't really have the authority to tell him who to 'date' so...I try to ignore it as best I can.

"Jesus, must they be so mushy all the time?" Hayner complains as he walks beside me.

"They aren't mushy all the time. Think about it, they'll get in trouble during school, and Cloud can't act like that a home so..."

"Well, that's true. Man...when is he just going to tell your parents the truth, get disowned, and move in with Zack? It'd be far easier if he did! Not to mention he'd be so much happier."

"I suppose he would be. But it's just hard for Cloud. You know my parents have that image that he's the perfect child with the perfect grades and. I guess he's just afraid of disappointment."

I try and explain to Hayner, yet again.

"I know, I know. I guess...I just want them to be happy, and for your parents to stop being so fucking homophobic. I'm sorry for complaining, Roxas. I'll stop now."

He apologized and gave me a quick apologetic smirk.

"It's cool, Hay. I completely understand where you're coming from."

"So...what exactly did Axel say when he stopped you in the hall?"

'Sly basterd.'

I'm not going to get anything out of him so why bother?

"Well, he was so jumpy and nervous that he couldn't spit out whatever it was he wanted to say. So he just sort of yelled, 'Um...um...just...just...I...meet me at the park by my apartment at 5 o'clock!' at me."

I jump in front of Hayner, lowering my voice, acting nervous, and waving my arms around trying to impersonate Axel. Which made Hayner laugh.

"Hahahaha...I...I see...Well?" He asked me as he tried his best to stop laughing. Which I made terribly hard for him, due to fact that I was jumping around dancing and making funny faces at him.

"Well what?" I ask still continuing my actions.

"Well...Are you gonna go?"

"My best friend who obviously has something bothering him has asked my to hang out with him at the park. Why wouldn't I?"

Finally stopping my actions since Hayner punched me because I was being 'annoying' or something like that. I wasn't really paying attention to what he was saying. I never do.

"Hm? Oh...no reason. Just...curious. That's all."

'This is so annoying!'

"Come on, Hayner. What's up? You obviously know something I don't. You all do. What gives?" I ask. I'm getting pretty damn annoyed with all of this shit.

"Shhhhh!" Hayner 'shh-ed' me as he put his hand over my mouth and pushed me so that we where walking a good 10 feet in front of Zack, Cloud, Sora, and Riku.

"Good, they didn't hear. They're to busy being all mushy." Hayner said relived.

"hmmmmamahmhmhama!"

"Oh! Sorry."

He removes his hand from my mouth.

"What was that about!"

"Shhh! Come here."

He say's as he puts his arm around my shoulders and pulls me closer to him.

"You want to know what's up with Axel, right?"

"YES!"

"Well...listen pal. All I can really say is that Axel has something very important to tell you. I really wish I could tell you more. But, this is just something that Axel has to tell you on his own. I'm sorry, Rox."

I'm still pretty pissed that everyone seams to know whats up except me. But, it isn't really Hayner's fault. Axel must have sworn all of them to secrecy or something.

"It's cool. I understand, Hay. Thanks." I say, smiling, while holding out my fist.

"No problem, Rox." He smiles and fist pounds me.

From there we walked in silence until we got to the street that Cloud and I lived on, we said our goodbyes, Cloud and Zack exchanged a quick kiss and hug, I thanked Hayner again, and we went on to our own separate destinations.

4:45pm

"Bye mom, bye dad!" I yell as I head out the door. I ran out pretty fast, so no one had much time to question me on where I was going. Not even Cloud, the most nosiest brother in the world.

It was pretty nice out. It wasn't to cool, but not to warm either. There was a slight breeze. It was...just right. Pretty quiet, as well. I live in a small neighborhood so it's normal for me. I felt the wind rush by me as I skateboarded down the sidewalk headed to the park...

5:05pm

'Oh shit! I'm late!' I think as I skate faster and faster, trying to get there so Axel doesn't think I stood him up.

5:10pm

"I'm almost there!" I talk to myself as I round the corner. Finally. I made it. I look around trying to find Axel. 'It shouldn't be that hard, I mean he has some pretty interesting hair. AH! There he is!' I see Axel sitting on the swing set. The park isn't that crowded actually. Only a few people here and there. A couple of kids playing on the monkey bars. I notice as I head towards Axel.

"Hey, Axel! I'm really sorry I'm late. I was skating pretty slow and lost track of time." I apologize as I grab a seat next to him on the swing set. 'He must still be jumpy. He sort of jumped as I said 'Hey' to him. I didn't mean to scare him...' I think to myself as I swing myself slightly.

"Oh...hey. It's totally fine, Rox." He say's with that one-of-a-kind Axel smile rocking his face.

I smile up at him, due to the fact that he's much taller than me. Even when sitting down.

"You wanna push?" He asked me motioning towards the swing I was sitting on.

"Sure. I'd like that." I say smiling up at him some more. Why am I always so happy and smiley when I'm around him? Oh well...whatever.

He slightly blushes as he gets up to push me on the swing.

'Looks like I might have made him embarrassed. Damn.'

That's the last thing I wanted to do.

We sat their in silence. Him pushing me on the swing, as I scolded myself in my head. I really didn't mean to do that. It's just...he...makes me happy. I don't really know why, though. He just...does.

"Hey. Um, are you alright?"

"Huh? Oh. Yeah. Never better. I can't say the same for you, though..."

I say while I noticed that my feet have become very interesting, avoiding eye contact with Axel.

What are you talking about?"

He says as he gulped. Nervousness obvious in his tone.

I skid my feet on the ground, signaling that I wanted him to stop pushing me. So he did.

"It's just. You were obviously extremely nervous in the hall at school, and you couldn't spit out whatever it was you wanted to tell me. And now you're blushing simply because I keep smiling at you! I...I'm sorry that I keep smiling at you! I can't help it that you make me happy when I'm around you!"

"And...and I just don't know why you can't tell me what's the matter with you! I mean, we always tell each other everything, Axel! Well...just what is wrong with you?"

I yell at him letting all my emotions out as I am now standing in front of him, starring him directly in the eyes.

He just stood there. Stunned. I now noticed that I...I'm crying?

"Why the hell am I crying?"

I speak out loud as I try to calm myself down and wipe my tears away. I froze, as Axel slowly caressed my check trying to help me calm down.

"I'm sorry."

He let's out. So quiet that it's hardly even a whisper. Yet, I heard it. Loud and clear. I probably have some type of dumbfounded face on right now. But not for long. No. Because what does Axel do next?

Press that 'Next' button. You know you want to...
