Whoo, the second one arrives :D. I noticed that I had forgotten a disclaimer last chapter, though I'm sure we all know that I DON'T own Kingdom Hearts nor its characters?
I must sincerely thank the first three reviewers: mellow-panda7, J.R. Jenx, and PumpkinLenses.
I enjoyed them ^^.
And another big thanks to Jenx and her suggestions!
Chapter Two:
Oh, and his friend Riku too.
AXEL
I clicked through my phone eagerly, trying to distract myself from the panic ridden boy in the corner of my room. How was I to know that he had anxiety!It's not like I intended for him to get so worked up about it. Shaking my head to rid my thoughts of Roxas, I got to the message section of my phone. It wasn't one of those awesome phones that everyone had at the private school I attend. Oh no, mom got me this piece of shit brick that she dares to call a cellphone. A smile drifted onto my face when I saw the name on the most recent message of mine, Riku. Riku is my best friend, we date back to about fourth grade. He is the only one that knows that I'm interested in men, and surprisingly, he is too. Now the whole fourth grade thing, it's really cliche. He stole my fucking box of crayons, the 94 pack - With the sharpener. But Ever since, he's been the one I can count on for everything.
I clicked the bright green symbol on my phone that supposedly means 'OK' and the message opened before my eyes. I scanned over it quickly, sure to take mental note of whatever was about to be dropped like a bomb on my mind.
"Hey man, it's Riku.
But you knew that Lol.
I heard you got a new addition to the fam - what's he like?
Is he hot, ugly, funny, boring? Send me pics!
I can't wait to be sneaking into your house every night to see the new toy (;.
I'll be over later for dinner.
Reply ASAP!"
I sighed as my glare bore into the phones brightly lit screen. Riku could be such an arrogant asshole sometimes. Wait, scratch that - All the time. The whole message was a waste of time on his part because: No, I was not going to send him pictures. And No way in hell would he be sneaking into my room to try to fondle my little brother. Still I composed a message for the eager silver haired boy.
"Riku, do you ALWAYS have to be an asshole?
And the new 'toy' has a name, it's Roxas.
He's..A pain in my ass, not to mention that he has anxiety.
And as for sneaking in - he shares a room with me.
No way in HELL are you sneaking into my room to seduce him, besides your BOYFRIEND Sora wouldn't approve."
I clicked down on the send button of my phone smugly and bit my bottom lip in boredom. I also managed to sneak a glance at Roxas. He was still crouched in the corner, looking down in a way that clearly showed his disgust and anger with the situation he was in.
ROXAS
I felt as if beating my head against a wall would be more satisfying than sitting here like this. Axel was tormenting me with this silence, but I have a feeling that if he tried to talk anymore that it would definitely be more agonizing. I closed my eyes in an attempt to think about something - ANYTHING - other than Axel. After a series of self questioning, two migraines from a high level of nostalgia, and another anxiety session - I had decided that I should probably retrieve my dingy blue suitcase that I'd packed with all of my belongings. I contemplated ways of doing this for a minute or two, before deciding to just get up and leave without a word. Of course, in the position of actually doing this - I stumbled as I got up, ran shyly to the door, and then shakily closed it behind me. I slammed my palm into my forehead angrily. I'm such an idiot.
I hurried down the old oak steps, absently taking note of the ornate railing that ran along side them. At the bottom of the stairway, right in front of the French double doors, was my suitcase. It had gotten left there when Kairi decided to drag me around, though I didn't mind her rambling about the kitchen being on the right and the bathroom being down the hall, and so on. But only because the house truly was amazing. Apparently the Augustine family was even better than "A little better off" than most people. In other words, they were rich bastards. Well I take that back, the only bastard in this house is Axel. But anyway, about the house -
The kitchen is fucking amazing. I actually wouldn't have it any other way, after all - A man's eating space is his pride. It has two ovens, layered on top of each other. Next to that is a glass top stove, cabinets acting as its underbelly. Cabinets, cabinets, more cabinets. A double sink and a counter for preparing any food that could be stashed away, a pantry stocked to its fullest, a huge refrigerator, and an elm table with intricate designs curling around the legs. I would make love to that room if possible. I'd touch every inch of the fridge - Running my fingers along its smooth sides and caressing it with my- Damn my hormones to hell. Wait, did I just think about making love to a fridge? I really am mental!
I dismissed anymore thoughts of the unimaginable house with its awesome kitchen and trudged up the steps. I came to an abrupt halt at Axel's door, wondering how I should go about barging back in. Turns out I didn't have to! The door flew open and slammed into my face at an inimitable speed. I fell back and landed promptly on my ass, hands covering my probably wounded face. I looked up at Axel in an attempt to glare, but the tears in my eyes seemed to speak for themselves. That was also when I noticed how freakishly tall the guy was, I mean damn!
AXEL
I looked down to see Roxas on the ground stunned. I was about to laugh at the situation until I noticed the tear rolling down his cheek. There he goes again, being cute. Fuck me. My mind seemed to turn on me and think kinky thoughts about the adorable pest. Looking upon him now, his eyes were a deep smoky blue and watering due to the contact of his face and my bedroom door. His cheeks were a bright red, and his hair was tousled and frayed. In other words, Roxas was quite the looker, and in an attempt to save this fanfic from brutal rape - I'll say no more.
In any case, I bent down and offered my hand. Roxas, not in any position to deny the helpful gesture, grabbed it and I hauled him up. As our bodies met for a moment I found my mind a traitor once again. Roxas now stood, still with a few tears fazing his eyes, I gave a smart ass smirk and made my way down the stairs. For one, I wanted to embarrass that annoyance in my hall. For two, well I had to be downstairs now because my parents were going to be home in: 3,2,1.
"Axel!" My mom chimed, a happy grin decorating her face and moving up to meet those bright blue eyes of hers. Her red hair was put up so that it fell just at her shoulders and she wore an exotic looking sapphire dress to match those gleaming orbs of hers. "Is he here? Is he? I can't wait to meet him!" Mom said in a singsong tone.
I crossed my arms and looked at her lazily. When I caught her attention I directed by thumb to the direction Roxas was in. As she spotted Roxas following behind me on the stairs, she gleamed. Running out to meet him she held her arms open wide and engulfed him in a hug. "AWE. You're so cute Roxas!" Mom squealed as she glomped poor little Roxas to death. Roxas had a distinct 'WTF' look on his face, causing me to chuckle at the sight. It was surprising that mom, in her awed state, hadn't noticed the slowly forming bruise that was soon to appear as a blotchy blue patch on Roxas' cheek.
I was soon shocked again when Riku burst through the door with a huge smirk on his face. "Honey, I'm home!" He yelled. My mom released the blonde and gave Riku a bearhug, which he returned. The thing about Riku is, he's openly gay. My mom knows, my dad knows, Hell - The whole school knows. Everyone loves him all the same I s'pose. Now at this point, Roxas was stumbling backward from the lack of constriction. I caught him just barely and kept him sturdy while he stood - dazed.
"What brings you here Riku?" My mom asked the silverette politely. Riku was about to reply when he eyeballed Roxas standing behind my mother. A grin took over his lips, curling them up to meet his eyes.
"Oh, just dinner that's all. Don't let me get in the way though, you're a wonderful cook!" Riku replied rather suavely.
"Oh Riku you flatter me!" My mother said gleefully before she practically floated off to the kitchen.
Riku made his way over to Roxas slowly, still holding that grin. I pulled my hands away, sure that he could stand, and watched it all play out. Riku came closer, Roxas backed farther away. I felt bad for the kid, Riku was definitely coming onto him. And there was absolutely no way that Roxas could stop Riku from getting what he wanted, he was almost as tall as me! Soon I found myself staring in awe as Riku held Roxas' chin firm in his hand and glared down into his eyes.
"Name's Riku, what's yours?" Riku purred into the blonde's ear. Roxas couldn't speak, he just stuttered a shit load of incoherent nonsense.
"Riku, back off. He isn't gay." I stated bluntly. Riku detached himself from Roxas and looked at me with a pout.
"I was just starting to have fun, Axel!" He whined.
I laughed at my stupid friend and urged him to continue up the stairs and to my room. I began to follow, but was stopped by a surprising string of words.
ROXAS
Axel had turned to leave, but I felt that I should get something in for having blubbered liked a mentally challenged kid. "Axel,..Thanks." I mumbled. In response Axel gave a thumbs up and a quaint smile before turning and disappearing up the stairs. After he was gone I laughed at how I might have sounded when I said those words. Leaning against the wall with a smirk, my thoughts caught up to me. Nah, I still hate that bitch. Oh, and his friend Riku too.
Over and done :D.
I know not much happened, but it's 1:11 AM, and I've been swearing a lot.
Please forgive me D;.
Oh & Roxas get's turned on by kitchen appliances, don't ask. :3.
((Fixed the whole confusion about the door/face/mom business. The bruise will be brought up later, if your interest isn't already peaked c:.))
