I'm wondering where Axel is...I've been here at the Johnny rockers cafe for a while and I was wondering if he was just ditching me..just playing a prank...pulling on the heart strings of cute blonde kids just to laugh at them. Right when my doubts were almost settled the red head of my dreams waltzed in. The cafe was always very busy throughout the day, but right now it wasn't as much because of the nights fireworks display, that way it was just me, him and maybe 5 other people across the room. Axel sat down right in front of me, his emerald eyes taking in everything from my blonde hair to my slender arms.
"hey Roxas.." Axel said nervously, I was super nervous too, my first day of work I went home crying, this was nothing compared to that, if this went wrong I would never forgive myself. "hey Axel.." the red head smiled at his name being mentioned and motioned for a waiter, "excuse me I'd like a glass of tea please" the waiter smiled and wrote it down on his little pad, "and for you sir?" he asked me, I sputtered nervously, "oh...uh.. some diet Pepsi please..." the waiter nodded and was gone to the kitchen. "so what brings you to six flags?" Axel asked quizzically I sighed, Sora had forced me really, if you count looking at me with those puppy eyes as forceful.. "uh..I'm here with my brother and his friend." Axel smiled, "well I'm glad I saved you from death today" he chuckled
For some reason that phrase, "saved you from death" made my heart jump, I don't know why..my hero, my emerald eyed avenger..god I'm terrible at romance. "uh..thanks I guess" I blushed, I really didn't know what to say, his presence was making me shake for some reason, "so what do you want to eat?"For some reason that phrase, "saved you from death" made my heart jump, I don't know why..my hero, my emerald eyed avenger..god I'm terrible at romance. "uh..thanks I guess" I blushed, I really didn't know what to say, his presence was making me shake for some reason, "so what do you want to eat?" I looked down at the menu and saw that the only thing that interested me was the cheeseburger deluxe with extra cheesy fries, I pointed at it and Axel smiled, "good choice, I think ill have the same thing, but hold the cheesy fries." our waiter wasn't even there yet so you could tell we were both nervous, reciting our orders before the waiter even got there...except I think I was a tad bit more nervous.
The waiter finally came with our drinks and shortly after with our food, me and Axel talked about family and where we lived, it turns out he was up here for a summer job and actually lived in my town (what a coincidence) he was pretty much living on his own and no good family really, his dad was in jail and his mom was dead. Of course I told him I was with my brother Sora and staying in a hotel nearby, upon telling him this he told me he was in a room in a hotel right down the road. I ate my burger and drank most of my Pepsi, then moved on to my cheesy fries I took the fry in my mouth, the cheese stretching for a very long way, I hated it when cheese did that. After I had finally broke the cheese string and finished my fries I leaned back content.
We headed outside and walked through the dimly lit park, there weren't many people around this end of the park, most were over watching the fireworks, if Axel was a predator, this would be the perfect time to take advantage of me, but thankfully that time didn't come...yet. We had bought ice cream and talked our way all the way to the large crowd near the fireworks, Axel was a great guy, nice, he had manners, and he was really hot... I know its wrong to think about guys that way, but ever since 5th grade when me and Hayner had our "incident" I was never the same.
Hayner was my best-est friend in 5th grade, we were practically inseparable, we were always together everyday. Of course I was really interested in girls all the time, so was Hayner, if you ask me I have no clue why he did what he did that day but I thank him. We were hanging out in the empty part of the playground one day after lunch, we were leaning up against the building the cool hard surface of the bricks soothed my back. Hayner had just eaten his cherry sucker and I was just watching the distant kids playing on the jungle gym. I felt Hayners' hand on my leg, this shocked me and I looked over to him and his face was inches from mine, I looked into his eyes, his eyes were filled with intent while mine were probably filled with confusion.
The next thing I remember was Hayners soft lips on mine, I couldn't move, I was froze, I didn't know what was happening, why was my best friend kissing me? He's a guy...I'm a guy..isn't this wrong? Ugh I didn't know what was happening. Hayner kept pushing his tongue into my mouth, he explored every part of my mouth, I had never been kissed by a girl and have always wanted to..but kiss that goodbye, I think Hayner was better than any girl I knew. Hayner finished and suddenly his face turned bright red and he looked down to the ground, "I'm sorry Roxas" he said quietly, I was still frozen to the spot, trying to grasp rational thought, I was still caught in the moment of the kiss, then Hayner ran off.
I looked throughout the whole school trying to find him, I looked and looked, even after school was over I still couldn't find him. I finally decided to head back home, I passed a small alleyway near my house and heard crying, I stopped, what that him? I headed back towards the sound and found my best friend, eyes red and full of tears, I knelt down and wiped them off of his face, he looked up tears ready to burst out, then I kissed him back. After that incident we were always still close, so close...i started to tear up standing next to Axel.
Axel noticed and looked at me, "whats wrong Roxas?" he sounded really worried, there in that midst of fireworks and crowds of people moving about, I felt alone in a sea of chaos, so I clung on to the rock nearest to me..Axel. I held on to him, he held onto me and brought me to a bench and sat me down, tears clouded my vision, but Axel, being the magical person he was had a tissue, he wiped the tears from my eyes and patted my shoulder, "whats wrong?" he asked, I collected myself enough to talk, "i was thinking about my friend Hayner...and..i shouldn't because he died a month ago.." then I burst into tears again while my rock, my anchor, my red headed knight held me.
