"Riku!" A familiar voice called as my bedroom door flew open. A short, brunette with spiked hair jumped into my lap, wrapping his arms around my neck. I stopped my desk chair from spinning around, holding onto the brunette and my desk.
"Sora…"
"Riku, were you looking up bad things again?" I blushed and looked away.
"I did that once… And it was a very long time ago… Drop it…"
"Sure, sure." Sora giggled. "So, are you ready to go? You should put your piercings on."
"Go where?" I sighed, pulling out the box I had put all my jewelry in.
"To the movies! Don't tell me you forgot!" He pouted. "Remember? You agreed to meet Axel?" I cocked my head. Axel? "Come on, Riku! Remember me, you, and Roxas hanging out at his house and he was talking to Axel in a chat-room-thingy? Remember how Axel said he'd come down to meet us today? He's from… Japan I think… Remember, Riku?"
"Alright, alright… I remember…" I shooed him off of my lap as I got up and looked in the mirror, putting in my snake bites and tongue ring. That's right… Japan, huh…?
Sora sat in Roxas' lap as we waited outside a café at the mall. Was this Axel Character for real? I mean, coming to the U.S. all the way from somewhere in Japan just to meet an online friend? Sounds…creepy… I don't think I can trust this guy… Especially with Sora being the youngest one all three of us…and the most oblivious to everything…
"Riku are you nervous?" Roxas asked, running his fingers through his blonde, wind-swept hair. "You're tapping your fingers kinda fast… It's kinda…annoying…"
"Sorry…" I shoved my hands in my pockets and slouched a little in the metal chair. "I was just thinking…"
"Is that him?!" Sora jumped up and pointed to someone. Roxas laughed.
"No, Sora. I'll tell you when I see him."
"How do you know what he looks like?" I looked over at him as Sora continued searching for this Axel Guy.
"We sent each other pictures of ourselves."
"That's not very safe, Roxas."
"I trust him." He smiled brightly. I bit my lip. I don't trust this guy at all… "He doesn't seem like a rapist, Riku… He's nice and—"
"Is that him?!"
"No, Sora!" Roxas laughed again, pulling our young friend back into his lap. "He's nice and I can trust him."
"If you say so…" I set my arms on the table and laid my head on them, burying my face in my arm warmers.
"Look! A limo!" Sora pointed out as a long, black vehicle slowed to a stop at the curb. The limo driver got out and opened a door near the front of the limo. A red head stepped out, stretching his arms as if he had just woken up. He didn't look like he was a rich kid. More like a goth. His combat boots were black and red plaid and could only be seen if his trip pants moved a little. He wore three studded belts; only one holding his black trip pants up, the others were just falling down on one side. His top was a red muscle shirt with a black fishnet shirt over it. His finger nails were painted black and his gloves were different from each other. His right one hand chains and zippers and the other one matched his boots. He had on a black leather spike choker with a dog tag attached to it. His hair was bright red and spiked back, falling down past his shoulders. His ears were pierced from earlobe to the helix with hoops and studs. He had an eyebrow piercing on his right brow and snake bites—the hoop ones—with a spike stud next to the left lip ring. His eyes were an emerald green and he had upside-down teardrop-looking-things underneath each eye. This guy looked amazing.
"Axel!" Roxas called, waving with a big smile on his face. The goth smiled, revealing pearly-white teeth and began walking toward us. I jolted up.
"That's Axel?! Roxas he—"
"Don't worry, Riku." Roxas kicked out a chair for Axel as he got closer. "Wow, Axel!" Roxas leaned toward the goth. "You look even better in person!"
"Thanks, Roxy." Roxy?! What?! "Feels good to be here. Forgive me if I pronounce anything wrong, my English isn't that great."
"It sounds fine. This is Sora and that's Riku."
"Nice to mee—"
"Oh, my gosh, you're hot!" Sora gasped. No wonder he was so quiet, he couldn't breathe…
"Thank you." The newcomer chuckled.
"Do you have any other peircings?!" Sora leaned toward him, his hands on Axel's knees. "Let me see!" Axel stuck out his tongue, revealing a tongue piercing with a fire design on it. "He-ey! Riku has his tongue pierced, too!" Axel looked at me and smiled.
"You don't talk much, do you?"
"Not to strangers…"
"I can change that." He held out his hand. "I'm Axel."
"I know who you are…"
"He's kinda against the online-friend-thing… But he'll warm up to you. I know it." Roxas held Sora back from chasing after some birds.
"Sora, I have candy." Sora spun around and raced around to me, jumping into my lap. I wrapped my arms around him.
"Hey! I want the candy!" I chuckled and pulled out a lolli pop from my pocket. "Thanks, Riku!" He kissed my cheek and pulled the wrapper off, sticking the lolli in his mouth.
"How old are you two?" Axel leaned his head on his palm, staring at Sora—or me, I'm not entirely sure.
"I'm sixteen and they're eighteen!" Sora spoke for a brief moment then went back to his lolli.
"Are you two dating?"
"No." I put it simply. "He's just…"
"Cute." Roxas finished for me. "Everyone is like that to him. He's just a big baby."
"Am not!"
"See?" Roxas chuckled. Axel pulled out his black flip phone.
"The movie starts at… S-six?"
"Actually, it starts at six-thirty."
"Ah, Okay. What were we seeing again, Roxy?" That's getting annoying…
"Um… Sherlock Holmes. Everyone was saying that it's good, but I'm not sure."
"Okay. Uh… So, we have thirty minutes to get our tickets?"
"I've already bought them." Roxas handed Axel his ticket from his pocket.
"Roxy, you didn't have to… How much do I owe you…?" Axel pulled out his wallet.
"Don't worry about it."
We got our seats twenty minutes before the movie started, following Sora for about fifteen minutes until he found a spot he liked. "Sora, sit there." Roxas pushed him toward the seat next to me. The people next to us were getting irritated.
"No! I want to sit next to you, Roxas!"
"Sora, Axel—"
"That's okay, Roxas. I'll sit here." The goth sat next to me. I growled and leaned away from him. "Gomen-nasai…" He whispered in Japanese, sending chills down my spine. He looked at me as if he were surprised. The lights dimmed and the previews began. Axel leaned closer to me. What the…? "Watashi ga nihongo wo hanasu toki, anata wa sore ga suki desu ka?" I bit on my lip ring and sat up straight, staring at the screen and trying to ignore him. I saw him smile in the corner of my eye. He sat up and looked at the screen as well. "Watashi wa rikai shi masu. Kore wa omoshiroi desho u." God he sounded… Oh, what's the word…sexy…? Wait, what?! No!
An hour or so into the move, the tension between Axel and I started to make me nervous. I was chewing on my lip rings so much, they started hurting my lip. I had to put them in my pocket and I pray that I wouldn't loose them…
Finally, we walked out of the theater, our café spot had been taken, so we were sitting near the cement planters. Axel was sitting on the ground with his back against the planters, Sora was walking along the top of them, trying to keep his balance, Roxas was sitting on top of the planters next to Axel, and I was lying across the planters, my left knee propped up near Roxas and my other leg hanging off the edge. "Roxas."
"Yes, Riku?"
"Are we just going to sit here all night…?"
"No. I'll call Dad and see if he can pick us up. If not, we can go to Sora's." Roxas pulled out his cell phone. Roxas lived pretty far from the mall, so we wouldn't be able to walk with Sora with us…
"No we can't." Sora called, running over to us on the planters, still trying to keep his balance. "Remember, Roxas? My parents are homophobic and hate your guts…and especially yours." He pointed to me.
"Nothing new…" I sat up on one hand, laying my elbow on my knee.
"They still don't know about me." Sora grinned.
"Well… Dad isn't picking up… So…" Roxas looked at me.
"No." Roxas pouted and when I looked up, I saw Sora was pouting, too. "I said no."
I pushed my front door open after I unlocked it, walking in with everyone following me. I can't believe I'm letting that…online freak into my house. "Thank you so much, Riku!" Sora hugged me as I shut the door.
"Yeah, yeah…" I grumbled.
"This is a nice house, Riku." The goth turned to me and smiled.
"Don't get too comfortable…" I'll kick you out in a heartbeat…
"Hey! Let's play Truth or Dare!" Sora chimed.
"How is that played?" Axel asked as Sora pulled him over to sit on
my couch. I don't like that idea…but of course, Roxas agrees to it… So, I might as well…
I swear if he touches either of them wrong… I'll kill him…
Author's Note: Sorry about the huge description of Axel... I was kinda inspired and I wanted to get every detail about him in there...
