20 DAYS EARLIER
. . Why did I blow off at Axel?! When I finally got home yesterday I found Demyx locked in his room with Zexion as well as Axel… Interesting. Demyx never locked his door unless he was plotting something… Or doing something with Zexion and they cannot be doing anything with Axel there.
Now all of… that finally clicked together as Demyx walked through my bedroom door at SIX IN THE MORNING telling me to "pack a bag. We're going to the beach house at Destiny Island," before leaving my room from the death glare being shot towards him. I fell back asleep and eventually awoke at ten.
I dragged myself out of bed towards my wardrobe where I proceeded to grab a few jackets and jumpers to fling onto my bed. The same process happened with my underwear, shirts, bottoms, shoes and just about anything else I'd need. Sora came into my room half an hour later with my suitcase which was originally in the attic. I packed everything including my 3DS with all my games as well as the charger. At least I've got something to do when I'm bored now. Half an hour after packing I jumped into the shower so I could get dressed. I put on black skinny jeans with a white t-shirt. I also had my black and white checkered vans to match my wristband. I walked downstairs lugging my suitcase towards the kitchen. I need food. I walked past Sora, Demyx, Axel and Xion to the cupboard that holds the cereal. They were dead silent. I poured my cereal along with the milk with a frown on my face and turned around saying "What?"
"Only you and Axel would wear jeans to the beach!" Xion pointed out raising her eyebrow at me.
I think my mouth dropped. Axel was there wearing black skinny jeans – just like mine – but with a black t-shirt and black converses. The colours were overwhelming.
"Everyone else is wearing shorts or a dress," Sora pointed out.
I closed my mouth before saying "Shut up," and walked swiftly away to the living room. It was 20 minutes before Zexion arrived, half an hour before Kairi and Namine came and an hour before Riku finally arrived.
"Guys, we've talked and we've sorted out the sleeping arrangements," Xion spoke up "Demyx and Zexion get their own room, respectfully, just like Sora and Riku. Me, Namine and Kairi have the bigger room while Rox and Axel have a room together," I choked. I swear I chocked on my own spit "What?!"
"Relax, Rox, I don't bite," Axel grinned at me. He's probably getting off on my fear.
"Two of us need to take the speedboat so we have it in case," Demyx said.
"Me and Roxas will," Axel replied.
Demyx and Xion's eyebrows raised as my mouth once again dropped.
"What? Why can't you go on your own?" my voice seemed higher than usual.
"Demyx said that two of us should go. And I'm just being polite," Axel smiled.
We left soon after with everyone else boarding the ferry to Destiny Island (it's easier than trying to get there with nine of us on the speedboat with our suitcases) while me and Axel found our way to the speedboat.
"Why do you hate me, Roxas?" Axel looked kinda sad, it wasn't pleasing to look at "I mean it's not like I'm a horrible person to you,"
"I'm just your best friends 'kid' brother. That's all I've ever been to you. A kid. You used to pick on me,"
"Correction. I used to tease you. Anyway that's when we were kids. Neither of us are kids anymore. You're going to be 18 soon and I've just turned 20,"
The conversation went dead and soon after we docked the speedboat to meet up with the others.
We spent the rest of the day putting away food we bought, making up the beds, bickering, getting the gas and electricity working and finally watching TV. I have a feeling it's going to be a long week.
