Disclaimer: Kingdom Hearts is not mine cause if it was Axel and Roxas would have hooked up by now, this made up story is my idea tho just sayin' xD
Roxas POV
I lay in my bed thinking about today's events, playing them over and over again in my head, the dream I had, the emotional breakdown and Zexion finding out about my feelings for Axel. I told him everything from the start, my memories of those days are still so fresh in my mind.
:flashback:
It was a normal day just like any other, but what I didn't know is that it wasn't. I was only 8 years old when I met him that day, and I was playing in the park near my house when all of a sudden I heard a cat meow, at the sound my eyes searched frantically for the source only to find it on the branch of a tree.
"Don't worry kitty, I'll save you!" I exclaimed, I began climbing the tree, digging my nails into its wooden surface as to not fall off. When I finally managed to climb onto the branch that the cat was in it immediately latched itself onto me.
At that moment I actually felt like a hero, "See kitty? I told ya I'd come and save ya" I said with a big toothy grin, however that smile was soon wiped off my face when I realized that I had no idea how to get down from the tree.
"Hello? Is there anyone here?" I shouted rather loudly hoping someone nearby would hear me but nobody came, well it was more like there wasn't anybody there to begin with.
I panicked, "S-someone s-save meee" I was scared and I didn't know what to do, all I could do was cry, scream and call for help. I was about to give up when suddenly I heard a noise, it sounded like a crack and out of nowhere the branch got lower, it was going to fall off, I was going to fall off.
I held the kitten in my arms and I closed my eyes tightly as I heard the branch snap, I could feel my body falling but it never hit the ground, instead it felt like someone was holding onto me.
When I opened my eyes I was greeted by the most beautiful emerald green eyes, they were like poison, and it felt I had been poisoned the moment he touched me.
"Are you okay?" He asked and I snapped out of my daze also making me notice his hair "Ah! Your hair is on fire!" I suddenly shouted and he just laughed.
"Nah, that fire you're talking about IS my hair" he said in a matter of fact way and then followed it up by saying "be more careful next time will ya?" and I slowly nodded.
I hadn't realized I was still in his arms, not that I didn't mind but I kind of wanted my feet on the ground and it's like he had heard my thoughts because just then he let go of me.
"My name's Roxas!" I suddenly blurted out and then added "thank you for saving me" and as soon as I said that I felt very embarrassed but he simply smiled and said "all in a day's work" he said and then began walking away.
He suddenly stopped and turned his head to face my direction "The name's Axel, got it memorized?"
:end flashback:
That had been the day I met him, the day it all started, that was the day I had met Axel Steel, and it was also the day I first fell in love. It's a memory I could never forget.
"Meow~" I looked up from my bed and saw my beloved cat Zelda (yes I named her after a fictional princess, and no I do not regret it) and she was making her way over to where I was.
"Hmm, you seem to have a message for me" I stated while taking off the note stuck to the back of her collar and then reading it 'Roxas dinner is ready so get your ass down here and eat' was written on it.
My beloved brother Cloud is so kind with his words I thought to myself as I got up from my bed and made my way downstairs. Everyone was already sitting down at the dinning table eating and it seems Cloud had been calling for me to eat for awhile now (that explains the cat mail).
I sat besides my brother Sora and next to him was his older brother Leon, and Cloud was sitting next to Leon as usual. "I'm so glad you could finally join us Roxas" he said in a tired tone
"I'm sorry for taking awhile, I was sort of spaced out, my bad" I answered without looking at him
"That's all right!" Sora chirped up "what matters is that you're here now and we can all eat together!" he said happily
Sora's positive energy was contagious because I felt as if my depressing mood was slowly fading away because of him, "You're right, let's dig in!" I exclaimed, the atmosphere in this house was of that one of an actual family, even if it wasn't what most people considered normal.
Sora wasn't actually related to me by blood but I still refer to him as my brother since we live together and we're a family and I care for him as if he were my actual brother which in a way does make him my brother.
In this family Cloud and me are blood related brothers, while Leon and Sora are also blood related brothers as well, but none of us brothers live with our parents, we all live together because me and Cloud lost our parents when I was still young so we lived with our grandparents until they eventually died as well. Sora and Leon however were disowned by their parents because they were homophobic and against the thought of both their sons being homosexuals.
It was about a year ago that Leon and Cloud finally got married after dating for 3 years, after that happened Leon and Cloud both bought a home for the four of us to live in together and that's how this family came to be.
"Roxas, I heard from Mrs. Rolando that you fell asleep in class today" Cloud mentioned while giving me a stern look
"O-oh well, you see, the thing is that umm, well... I'm sorry" I sighed in defeat and Cloud just started lecturing me on how important it is for me to pay attention and keep my grades up
"And that reminds me Roxas, you didn't do too well on that pop quiz I gave the class yesterday" he said while giving me 'THE LOOK' which right now I can only describe as Cloud trying to tell me to get my shit together or else there will be consequences.
I could hear Sora chuckling next to me "I'm glad Cloud isn't my teacher" and I just told him, "He will be your teacher Sora, you're gonna be a senior next year" the look on Sora's face just now was enough to make me feel triumphant.
I finished eating so I took my plate over to the sink to wash it when suddenly Leon came over "Hey Roxas, I'm not trying pry into your business or anything but if you ever need someone to talk too, I'm all ears" he said in a gentle way, Leon has been the closest thing I've had to a father figure in a long time so it made me really happy that he said that
"Thanks Leon, you offering to lend an ear really means a lot" I smiled at him gratefully, I really was happy to have such a loving family.
Roxas POV
Today was Friday which meant that after the bell rings now, I will leave this classroom, go to my next class and then I won't see Axel again until Monday, and I have no idea whether to feel relieved or not. Only 10 more minutes I thought to myself, I'll definitely be the first one out that door. I felt a sudden tap on my shoulder and I turned around to see Zexion point to his left, shifting my gaze my eyes were now on Namine and she was smiling at me, she had a letter in her hands and she was mouthing 'Take it' so that's exactly what I did, 'I'll read it when I get home' I thought to myself.
-Bell rings-
All of the students got up in a rush of excitement, it was Friday after all, I was surrounded on all sides so the idea of being the first to leave was no longer valid. I could see Axel by the door saying goodbye to the students and telling them to have a nice weekend. I was making my way towards the exit when suddenly I felt someone grab my arm only to be surprised at the fact that the person was none other than Axel
"M-Mr. Steel? What's wrong?" I asked nervously, I had no idea what was going on
"Can you come to my classroom for a moment after your last class? There's something I wish to discuss with you" he whispered in my ear giving me shivers
"O-okay" I managed to squeak out before being swept away in the crowd of students.
I could feel Zexion's gaze all over me as soon as we were out of the classroom, meaning he probably saw that little exchange between me and Axel, "What did he tell you?" he asked suddenly and I sighed
"He just needs to ask me something later, he said it would be quick" I reassured him and it seemed to calm him down
"Fine, but I'll be waiting for you outside his classroom" he said stubbornly.
We were now once again in Mrs. Rolando's class, also known as the last class of the day. I was having trouble paying attention in class because I couldn't stop wondering what it could be the Axel wanted to talk to me about, could it be about our past? Or could it just be something school related? Or worst of all, could it be about THAT incident? I hope it's not the last one.
Before I knew it the entire class went by and I hadn't even realized because of all the thoughts that had invaded my head, I quickly got up from my desk and made a mad dash out of the classroom, I pushed through crowds of students in the hallways until I finally made my way to Axel's classroom. I entered and Axel quickly spoke up, "close the door" he said in a demanding tone which made my already pounding heart jump out of my chest.
"So what did you want to talk to me about Mr. Steel?" I asked him nervously, there was a silence before he spoke, he looked at me directly in the eyes, his gaze piercing right through me
"Roxas, you broke our promise, didn't you?"
Dun-dun-dun! And that marks the end of this chapter, tee-hee!
Oooh I wonder what promise he could be talking about, and what about Namine's letter?
You will all find out! NEXT TIME! Or maybe not, you have to stay tuned :3
