Axel rolled over and shoved his face under his pillow. The only thing between Axel and blissful sleep, was the sun glaring in his eyes from the window. "What a beautiful morning, to go the fuck back to sleep," he mumbled under his breath. Axel's eyes slowly began to close again, only to be wrenched open by the annoying screech of his alarm clock. "Fuck" he mumbled turning off the annoying device. He slowly sat up and crawled out of his bed. He slowly staggered out of his room and made his way to the bathroom, only to be met by a locked door. Axel let out a deep sigh. " Hurry up Marluxia," Axel yelled banging his hand against the door. It was to early in the morning for him to be nice yet.
"Fuck off," Marluxia yelled blasting the radio. As Lady Gaga, bad romance filled the apartment Axel let out a almost predatory growl and walked toward the kitchen. Marluxia was Axel's half brother. When Axel was a freshmen his parents had to move for work. And due to the fact that neither he nor Marluxia wanted to leave, their parents set them up in a small apartment for the time being.
Axel quickly reached into the cabinet and pulled out a box of cereal. He was to tried to get a bowl so he poured the sugary subsistence into his mouth. "That's disgusting," A voice called from behind him. Axel slightly turned his head to see the pink haired flower child he called his brother. Marluxia was practically naked expect for a towel draped around his waist.
"Put some clothes on, what are you a nudist " Axel said blandly as he continued to eat cereal from the box.
"You wish," Marluxia said grabbing a orange and started to walk away.
"I won't insult your intelligence by suggesting that you believe what you just said." Marluxia turned around and flipped him off and before he continued to walk into his room. Axel placed the box of cereal back in the cabinet and starting walking toward the shower. Axel took a quick shower and was out within five minutes. After exiting the bathroom Axel made his way to his room, closing and locking the door behind him. Axel pulled out a pair of dark blue jeans from his dresser and quickly pulled them over his fire truck red boxers. He then pulled out a black t-shirt from the drawer just above the bottom. Axel unfolded the shirt and smiled at the white lettering.
'Abracadabra! Nope. Your still here.' It read. Axel slid the shirt over his very well toned body, and slipped a pair of white socks on his feet. He slowly turned his head and looked at the clock. 7:21 am, it read. He sighed, he did not need to be at school tell 7:45 am, and there was a better chance that he was going to be skipping with some of his friends rather then actually go. Axel slipped on some black and red sneakers and sat on his bed. He was currently thinking about the blonde he met yesterday. He still could not get the sight of those abominably blue eyes out of his head. And he could not help but wonder, why such beautiful eyes were filled with so much sadness. He really wanted to see what they would look like with light in them. Axel shook his head and ran his hand through his hair. What was he thinking?
He turned his head and looked at the clock. 7:32. Axel pulled out his cellphone and texted Demyx, one of his closet friends. 'Skipping?' it read. After a moment his phone made a light beeping sound.
'Ya, but only tell third period. If I miss one more day Mr. Heart is going to fail me for the year...'
'Mr. Heart more like Mr. Heartless.'
'it is sad how true that is...'
'see you in fifteen.' Axel let out a large sigh and slowly stood up. He picked up his black backpack and slung it over his shoulder. Axel grabbed his keys off his desk and trudged out his front door. He walked into the parking lot and unlocked his flamboyant car. It was a 1970 res mustang. When Axel started his freshman year he started to fix up this car. He had just barely finished it a few months ago. Truth be told he probably loved his car more then his brother. When Axel arrived at school he did something he himself could not foresee. He kept looking down every hallway for the blonde boy he met yesterday.
Roxas slowly walked through the overly crowed lunch room and made his way to a empty table. He sat down and quietly began to eat his food. He started to eat in a mantra. Pick up some food, chew, swallow. Pick up some food, chew, swallow. His mantra continue until someone sat across from him. he did not even need to look up to know who it was, but he did anyway. Across from him he saw Sora. there was silence for a moment between them, but it was of course broken by Sora. "So Roxas, what was that about yesterday," Sora asked worriedly. Roxas just shrugged. He did not want to get into detail with it. Because once he did the fact that Seifer had shoved him would be reviled. once that happened all hell would break loose, but the real reason he did not want Sora to know was, he thought he would be a bother to him. Roxas was snapped out of his thoughts by deep voice that sent chills up his spine.
"Hey blondie," the deep attractive voice said. Roxas looked up and he mentally slapped himself. It was Axel and in no way did Roxas like the sound of Axel's voice. Axel sat down next to Roxas, and tried to ignore the dagger that were being glared at him by Sora.
"What do you want," Sora hissed at Axel.
"Well you see I felt bad about what I did yesterday, so I wanted to make it up to you," Axel said not breaking eyes contact with Roxas. Roxas face stayed blank. He stared at into Axel's eyes and began to get lost in them.
"Axel~" a voiced playfully called out. Roxas saw out of the corner of his eye a dirty blonde with weird Mullet/Mohawk thing on his head, running toward them.
"What Demyx," Axel said trying to pretend to sound annoyed. Demyx sat down next to Axel and waved at Sora. Guess they knew each other. Demyx opened his mouth to say something but stopped when he saw Roxas.
"Whose that," Demyx questioned looking at Roxas.
"He's...oh, wait, I don't think I had the pleasure of learning it," Axel said turning to look at Roxas. Was he flirting with him? Roxas brushed the thought off and grabbed his notebook from a pile of book in the middle of the table. He grabbed a pen and scribbled his name down on the paper and handed it to Axel. Axel looked at the paper and a smile crept on his face. "Roxas~" he hummed out. Testing to see how the name felt on his lips. Roxas rolled his eyes and for a moment he thought he rolled the so hard that they would get stuck. He mentally sighed and continued to eat.
Demyx stared at Roxas, it seemed as if his eyes were searching for something."So I hope you don't mind me being blunt here, but Roxas why are you mute?" Demyx questioned. Axel face palmed and shook his head. Roxas whole body froze. That was a very sensitive topic even with Sora. Because every time it was brought up the memories of that horrible incident would fill his head. Sora sent a glare to Demyx and stood up. Sora grabbed his and Roxas's books of the table and then pulled Roxas out of the lunch room. He did not want Roxas to be forced to relive that incident. Axel turned to Demyx and smacked him on the back of the head. "Sorry," Demyx whined rubbing his head. Axel sighed and started eating his lunch. From what he saw he knew going after Roxas would be a bad idea. Roxas's eyes looked like they were filled with terror. It seemed as though Demyx had unintentionally triggered some memories.
Axel sighed, out of all the things in the world only two things were bothering him at this moment. the first was, what could have happened to Roxas would hurt him so badly? And the second, why did he care so much about someone he did not even know very well?
Sora dragged Roxas down the hall way. He wanted to get Roxas as far from the lunch room as he could. Sora did not want to have to see the look in Roxas's eyes as he relived those invents. Sora never wanted to see the strongest person he knew, look so broken. The thought of Roxas having to go through anything like that again made his stomach churn. Sora's face twisted with disgust as he thought back to everything that had happened three years ago. Sora stop walking after a while and sat down on the stairs in the east wing of the school. Roxas's slowly sat down next to him. Sora handed Roxas his books and ten began to stare at the ceiling. "What's wrong with them," Sora yelled angrily. Roxas had calmed down enough to be able to write. He pulled out a pen and paper and scribbled on it, before handing it to Sora.
'I don't think they meant any harm. Quick question though, how did you know that weird guy with the Mullet/Mohawk thing he called hair? ' the paper read.
"His name is Demyx and he is on the football team with Riku." Sora said calming down. They sat in silence and stared at nothing. Thoughts running through their minds. " Hey you know-" Sora started but was cut off by the sound of the bell. Roxas quickly scribbled another note and handed it to Sora. Roxas then stood up and started to walk down the hall..
"Tell me later.' The paper read. Sora just watched Roxas's retreating figure as it disappeared from his sight.
"It was not your fault." he mumbled lightly to himself.
A/N: Summer break was not long enough... So I will try my best to update as often as a can, but due to the fact that school hates me, it probably won't be that often. *sigh* On the bright side I got this chapter done! So as always please tell me what you think and please tell me if you see any mistakes! Thanks for reading!
