Italics- Thinking

Axel's POV

I slipped into the dark room. After all, one can only roam the halls for so long. I looked over to Roxas' bed. He was sitting up with his back agents the wall. His eyes were closed, and pair of small, ear bud headphones was in his ears. Like always, his small mouth was turned down in a frown. I sighed. "Please smile Roxas," I whispered. I turned and walked over to my bed.

"Oh, hey Axel. Did you say something?" Roxas asked. I jumped and turned around to face him.

"You're awake?" I asked. I honestly thought he had fallen asleep in that awkward position. He nodded. "Nothing important, just talking to myself," I answered his question. He nodded and I walked over to his bed. "What are you listening to?" I asked, hoping to learn more about him.

"Avenged Sevenfold," he said, patting the bed beside him. "Sit." I did as he told me to and took the ear bud from his right ear, placing it into my own ear. I recognized the song as Betrayed. I was pretty sure that's how Roxas felt at that moment. I knew that I had felt betrayed when I had first arrived here. I wondered for a few moments what Roxas did to get into this place.

The song ended and Roxas took the earphones from our ears, winding them around his ipod. I looked at him, winding up his earphones, and I had to smile. It was the first time in a long time that I had smiled, but something about Roxas made me want to smile again.

"I like it when you smile," Roxas breathed quietly in my ear. "You should do it more often." I placed my hand on his shoulder.

"I still haven't seen your smile," I told him. He looked down.

"I have no reason to smile," he said. It was so quiet, I barley heard him. "I have no family, no friends, no home, no life." A tear silently slid down his face. I pulled his head to my chest and held it there.

'That's what I thought, until I met you.'

Roxas' POV:

As the redhead held me there, I couldn't help but cry into his chest. I hated my mother for what she did. Her awful words still rang in my head.

Flashback

"GET OUT OF MY SIGHT YOU SORRY EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN!!" my mother screamed. My whole body shook and tears began to form in my eyes.

"But I didn't do anything," I whispered.

"You're permanent record says otherwise!" she snapped. "I can't have a child with a record like that! I hate you! Get out and never come back! You're not welcome in this family anymore!"

As I picked up my bags and walked out of that house forever, the tears that were threatening to fall finally spilled over and streamed down my face. I looked back at my house for the last time before I turned and boarded the bus that would take me away from my familiar life forever.

End Flashback

"She used to be so nice," I whispered into Axel's chest. "I hate you mother." I looked up into the redhead's face and he gave me a look of understanding. I silently thanked him for not making me explain. I don't think I would be able to handle that. I rested my head on Axel's shoulder and closed my eyes as he slowly rocked me back and forth. I fell asleep like that, Axel's soft voice whispering in my ear.

My eyes fluttered open and I yawned. I slowly lifted my head from its position on the redhead's chest. As I looked over at the clock, I almost fell to the floor.

"Axel! Get up! Were really late!" I yelled loudly. Both of us had slept through breakfast and we had only five minutes to get to out first class.

Axel mumbled and lifted his head. "What?" he asked. He was still extremely groggy and he wasn't moving fast enough. I picked up a pair of his tight jeans and whipped them at my slow rising companion. He shrieked as they collided with his face.

"Get moving," I told him. "Were late." Axel looked at the clock and quickly put the pants on. I ran a brush through my wild bed head, as Axel gelled his hair so it stuck out in every direction known to man. I grabbed my messenger bag and ran out the door, tripping over Axel's bag in the process. The said redhead laughed as he came up behind me.

"You might want to put your shoes on," he said as he pulled me up. I looked down at my feet and blushed lightly as I realized that I had in fact, forgotten my shoes. I looked up just in time to see Axel across the room, just before my sneaker hit me in the face. I yelped in pain.

"Thanks," I mumbled as I put it on. Axel grinned.

"No problem." I pulled my other shoe on and grabbed my bag. Being careful not to trip again, I made my way across the room and into the hall, Axel close behind. Just as I got the door locked, the bell rang.

'Oh, great. I tripped over a backpack, got hit in the face with a shoe, and now were late for class. This day just keeps getting better and better!"
