A/N: Wow, two chapters in one day! I guess that's what I get for skipping my classes for the morning. Eh, whatever. I'm really getting to like this story. It's fun to write for Fuu because I can see her as being someone who's really deep but terribly naive at the same time. Oh, I blame my visions of her being a strong ol' girl from Chendzeea's "Frozen", y'know, working out and all. Anyway, this was fun to write. I wanted to continue the chapter, but I decided to cut it short and save it for the next chapter.
It had been nearly three days since the accident in PE class. The weekend had come around and as usual, Olette was up bright an early. Her green eyes peered at the closing wound on her full lips, a sigh escaping her. It looked ugly. Her normally sweet features marred by the foul looking wound. As she inspected it a bit closer, her mind drifted.
I wonder where Fuu has been. Olette thought absently. It wasn't an unusual thought. When she didn't see one of the teenagers she was normally around or had to deal with, she became worried for them. What made it worse was the rumor of the small girl laying Seifer out, giving him a trophy of a black eye. Maybe that's why Seifer and Rai haven't been around either... Stepping back, the green eyed girl tightened the towel around her upper chest. "Guess I should get ready to meet up with the others at the Usual Spot." She sighed and made her way out of the bathroom.
The slim girl tapped her chin as she looked at herself in the full body mirror. A simple, brown skirt hugged her thighs, ending just above her knees, a white button up blouse hanging loosely on her torso. Nodding in satisfaction, Olette turned and slipped on her sandals, moving through the small house, her eyes looking out the windows when she passed them. The sunrise was as beautiful as ever. A figure walking down the street made her eyes blink in confusion. Silver hair reflected the early morning light as the form jogged along the road. Olette quickened her pace through the house, yelling a farewell to her mother.
Meanwhile, a seething Fuu took her early morning jog, the morning mist in the air chilling her skin enough to bead up the hot sweat leaving her skin. Normally, she loved her morning routine of working out, unfortunately though, angry thoughts raced through her mind. Images of Seifer laying on the ground with a broken nose and black eye making her fists tighten. He was shooting off his mouth again, verbally bashing Roxas' sexuality. That though, wasn't the snapping point for Fuu, even though it didn't help. It was when he began to muse on the "hot girl" he hurt in class that the red eyed girl began to rage. As he expressed his thoughts on how he would "totally do her" if she wasn't part of Roxas' gang, Fuu felt her body move before she even thought about it. She must've taken Seifer by surprise, the blond didn't know the extent of her recently acquired strength. He tried to block a blow to his stomach, only to have two quick jabs hit him square in the face. After she realized what she did, the short girl left the Sandbox, her gang's hangout. Besides waking up and seeing her brother around their home every morning, Fuu hadn't spent time with them at all; she knew Seifer was trying to find her though.
So caught up in her thoughts, Fuu didn't hear the voice calling for her. She jumped a few feet forward though when a cold hand clasped on her shoulder. The crimson eyed girl held up her strong hands in a flawless fighter's position, her eyes glaring. Seeing the panting form of the girl she helped those few days ago, doubled over, trying to catch a breath, Fuu relaxed.
"Stand straight." She ordered, the taller girl looking up a bit. "More oxygen." Fuu elaborated.
Nodding and standing up, Olette smiled a little, wiping her brow. "Wow, you're fast." She chuckled, placing her hands on her hips, looking to girl over. A pair of black, spandex shorts hugged Fuu's strong thighs and rounded backside snugly, a white tank top and black sports bra covering her chest.
Knitting her brow in frustration, Fuu turned, her jog starting up. Why did this annoying girl feel the need to stop her morning workout?
The green eyed girl blinked a bit and watched the petite form jog off. "Fuu! W-Wait!" The crimson eyes glanced over a shoulder, her jog slowing a bit. Olette quickly caught up and smiled at the pale girl.
"Annoying." Fuu huffed a bit. "Point?"
"H-Huh?" Blinking at the girl, she rubbed the back of her neck. "Oh umm... I just heard that you took on Seifer." Seeing the nod, Olette looked at the girl a bit closer; Fuu frowning and leaning away. "You're okay right? I know Seifer is tough."
Smirking slightly and looking up to the taller girl, the short haired girl thumbed to herself. "Tougher."
Grinning slyly and poking at the strong arm closest to her, Olette nodded. "I can see that... So why'dja do it?"
"Frustrated." Fuu quickly responded.
The two walked through the street for a few minutes, the sounds of the waking town filling the silence between them. Olette had began to hum, Fuu simply listening to the kind sounding tune. She was too proud to admit, but she, in some form, enjoyed just walking with the girl. Normally she was around a bunch of idiot boys, throwing their testosterone around in competitions. The peach scented girl was a breath of fresh air.
"Destination?" Fuu suddenly blurted, causing the head taller girl to jump slightly.
"I'm sorry?" Olette giggled a bit, patting her chest to calm her suddenly quickened heart.
Smooth Fujin...Thought the pale girl grimly, shaking her head. "Destination?" She repeated, her voice a bit soft, taking on a cool breathy tone.
"Oh, I'm meeting the guys for some breakfast. You?" She looked to the shops around them opening up, the candy store catching her eye.
Fuu frowned but shrugged a little. "Beach?"
"Going for a swim?" Olette asked, getting a nod. Looking back to the candy store, she smiled a bit. "Wait her for a second Fuu."
Looking curiously at the skirted girl as she jogged off, she watched her approach the window of the store, two sky blue popsicles being handed to her. Bowing her head in thanks, Olette quickly returned, offering one to the bewildered girl. Slowly, the toned girl took it, her rough fingers brushing the carefully painted nails. "Thanks." She muttered with a slight blush.
"You looked a little down... These always help me when I am." Olette smiled, licking at the salty-sweet treat. Sea Salt ice cream was a thing of mystery to the girl. Who ever though salt would make such a delicious type of dessert.
They ate their slowly melting ice pops as they moved through the ally. Olette seemed to look around for something, then glanced into the hang out, frowning a little. "Looks like they're not here yet." Glancing to the watch on her wrist, she scoffed. "I doubt they're awake yet!"
"Lazy." Fuu mumbled, savoring the Sea Salt ice cream.
"You got that right." The taller girl laughed a little. She watched the still slightly sweaty girl stand in the ally, licking at the dessert. Biting her lip, she looked into the Usual Spot then back to Fuu. "Hey um... You wouldn't mind maybe waiting with me... Would you?"
Frowning a little, Fuu looked up to the brightening morning sky. She was far behind on her schedule for the morning. Looking back to the cloth curtain, she looked at the slightly pouting girl, raising an eyebrow. "Stop that." She muttered, the pout deepening, making her blush. "What?" She nearly shouted.
Inside, Olette grinned to herself. It was her secret weapon against people like Hayner and Fuu.
"C-Cease!" Stuttered the small girl, feeling her blush worsen due to her stutter. "F-Fine!"
"Yay!" The slim girl nearly skipped over, snatching up a calloused hand and pulled the petite figure into the small enclave.
Soon, Fuu found herself sitting on the ugly, aged couch in the Usual Spot, as Olette affectionately called it. The short haired girl thought it was rather small and ugly, but it had a strange homeyness to it.
"Thanks for staying with me here." Olette grinned as she was given a disbelieving stare. "What?"
"Forced." Fuu stated in a huff, crossing her arms.
Secretly, the taller girl found herself adoring the look of an indignant pout on the girl. For acting so tough, she still had a girl's mind. Leaning her head back on the green couch, Olette yawned a little closing her eyes. It was beginning to be a warm day after all. She was glad she wore a skirt.
The feeling of warmth over her nearly made Olette jump out of her skin. Her green eyes snapped open to stare up at a penetrating red gaze on her. "H-Hey Fuu... What's up?" She mumbled, red coloring crawling along her cheeks. One of the small, pale hands reached up to touch the tanned girl's face. Olette's breath began to quicken as the body leaned over her a bit more. She could feel her body begin to shiver as Fuu's face leaned in closer, her eyes locked onto Olette's full, rich lips.
"Lips..." Fuu nearly whispered, her voice dipping into a sultry growl. The thumb of the hand on Olette's face gently brushed the bottom lip, crimson eyes narrowing.
W-Why am I not doing anything to stop her? Thought the slim girl, her body heating up. Fuu.. I never knew you were like this... She thought as the girl above her seemed to freeze. What?... Isn't she... Thought the brown haired girl, as the shorter girl moved away.
"Healing well." The pale girl stated evenly as she took her spot back on the other side of the couch.
Blinking in confusion, the brown haired girl looked towards the once more stoic girl, her face still flushed. What just happened? Did she really expect something from that girl? If so, what did that mean?
Fuu looked over toward Olette curiously. The taller girl's face was flushed, her breath coming in quick gasps. Not only that, but she was being stared at, in a strange manner none the less. "Fevered?"
"What?" Olette mumbled in a deep voice. She blushed a bit and shook her head. "I-I'm sorry. That was just..." She began, then paused, hearing a pair of voices. Roxas' could be heard clearly, but the other voice was one the brown haired girl never heard before. "Roxas?" She called.
"Hey Olette." The blond boy greeted as he stepped in. Behind him, a tall young man stepped in, ducking through the door a little. Olette instantly recognized him as Axel, Roxas' boyfriend. He was never hard to spot. His blood red hair jutted backwards like hedgehog spikes, a pair of upside down triangles tattooed just under his stunning light green eyes. "Hope you don't mind that I brought this idiot al-" He froze in speech as he finally noticed the small teenager also occupying the couch. "Fuu?" He gasped.
The slim girl nodded, inspecting the oldest of the four keenly.
Noticing the slight glare, Axel raised a perfectly trimmed brow while turning to the girl that possibly came up to his chest. "Whatsa matter shrimp?" He grinned, Roxas harshly elbowing him in the side. "What? She was looking at me all me like Roxy!" Exclaimed the pyro as he rubbed the injured spot.
"Her name is Fuu. I don't recommend name calling either." Olette explained. "I'm not responsible if she tries to hurt you."
She began to regret her choice of words as she noticed the sly smile forming across the angled features on the college student. "Oh, so she's your responsibility eh?"
The two girls blushed a bit, Olette far worse than Fuu's. The latter of the two bolted up quickly and growled. "Misinterpret!" She shouted, clenching her fists.
"...I'm sorry?" Axel mumbled in confusion, looking to Roxas who sighed, holding his head.
"She says you didn't understand what Olette meant. Before you two cause some kind of damage in here, sit down a be quiet for a little Axel." Explained the blond as he gently pushed on the tall man's chest towards a chair. Turning back around to look at the two Roxas tilted his head. "Where are the others?"
The girl in the skirt shrugged a little and looked to the still fuming girl beside her. "It's just been me and Fuu."
Nodding a little, the young looking man stepped back a bit, a finger from his boyfriend tugging on his waistband. "About that... Why's she here?" Noting the crimson glare, he held up a hand. "I don't mean it like that. I mean why aren't you with Seifer and Rai?"
"Didn't you hear?" Olette grinned slyly. "Fuu took Seifer down."
Gasping a bit and taking a seat in the redhead's lap, albeit forced, Roxas grinned. "Really? That rocks, what happened Fuu?"
"Insulted." She explained,eying Roxas and Axel. "Tasteless."
Tapping his chin in thought, the blond nodded a little. "Oh yeah, the dodgeball game." Grinning and throwing a thumbs up, he chuckled. "Good going though." Fuu nodded her head and looked at the entrance as Hayner's unmistakable voice echoed within the ally, Pence trying to shush him.
The two stepped in, Pence giving a kind greeting while the blond accompanying him frozen. His eyes flicked from Fuu on the couch, beside Olette, to Roxas sitting on Axel's lap, glaring at him a bit. "Morning guys..." He grumbled. An awkward greeting to the others. Moving to the couch, he flopped down roughly into it between Fuu and Olette, his eyes trained on the pale girl who glared back.
"Something uh... Going on?" Axel whispered into Roxas' ear making the blond shrug a little.
Feeling the tension in the room growing, Pence cleared his throat, taking a seat on a spare wooden crate. "So, what're we gonna do today guys?"
The group looked around at each other shrugs being exchanged. Olette looked to Fuu over Hayner's shoulder, then grinned for a brief moment. "How about the beach? We still never managed to get to it last summer." She suggested.
"Oh! The beach!" Axel exclaimed, hugging tightly around Roxas' waist. The blond could see Hayner's quieted disgust as he turned his head a bit.
"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. I need a day to relax." Pence agreed. "So, are we all agreed?" A collective nod made Pence smiled. "Well then, let's go get ready shall we?"
The group nodded and slowly disbanded. Roxas and Axel made their way off, Pence following them shortly after. Hayner stretched as he looked down to Olette. "Let's go, I'll walk you home." He turned to Fuu who had stood up and stretched as well. "Unless the albino wants to take you home."
"Hayner!" Olette gasped. "Apologize to her!"
"Why?" Asked the blond, genuinely confused.
The albino in question growled a bit, looking to the brown haired girl. Fuu watched the green eyed girl stare at her apologetically. Looking back to Hayner, Fuu narrowed her eyes. "Pig." She growled deeply. Turning on her heel, she made her way out of the Usual Spot, a loud smack making her grin to herself.
A/N: Tell me how you all think this is going. Am I getting the personalities down? Axel and Roxas' actions bothered me a bit, just because I'm not use to writing these characters I guess. Reviews always loved!
