Naked Chapter 3
"Ah-Ah-Axel!" Demyx sang as he skipped into Axel's room. He wasted no time jumping on Axel, who was innocently reading on his bed.
"Umph!" Axel grunted as Demyx body slammed him. "Oh my god Demyx you're heavy!" He shoved the blond off him, making him spill onto the floor.
"Ouch Ax, that hurt!" He whined kicking his feet up on the bed.
"Well that's what you get for pouncing on me." Axel said sitting up, shutting the journal.
"Yeah well…hey! What are you reading?" Demyx got up and snatched the journal.
"Give it back!" Axel pounced on Demyx, trying to get the journal back.
"No way Axel; anything you read must be interesting." He flipped through the journal to the marker Axel put in. He hummed reading over the page quickly; "what the hell…. This is a journal Ax!" He kicked the red head off of him.
Axel snatched the journal; "I'm aware."
Demyx frowned staying in his twisted position on the floor. "Why are you reading a journal and whose journal is it?"
Axel sighed putting the journal down on his desk. "I'm not sure whose it is. That's what I'm trying to find out…. I found it on the sidewalk when I was walking home Monday."
"And you've been reading it ever since?" Demyx questioned.
Axel nodded; "you wouldn't believe how amazing this kid writes. It's the best drama story I've ever read."
"But I'm sure the owner is worried about it…"
Axel sighed; "don't you think I've tried to figure it out? He doesn't have his name written in it, and he hardly mentions anything that could help me figure out who it is."
Demyx hummed; "there has to be something in there." He pulled himself off the floor and sat on the bed next to Axel. "Read to me."
Axel gave him a look. "No." He didn't want to share his addiction with anyone, not even Demyx.
The sandy blond tisked and punched his arm. "Read it to me, maybe I'll catch something you haven't."
Demyx did have a point. Now the blond wasn't any more observant than Axel was, but he remembered things differently, so maybe he could figure something out.
Axel sighed; "fine, get comfortable; this kid can write!"
September 5, 2010
"Sophomore year; we've only had about two weeks of school so far, but they have been the worst two weeks of my life. It makes all the lonely days of last year look like a picnic…"
Roxas rested his chin in the palm of his hand, as he stared out the window. His science teacher was going off on a tangent that had absolutely nothing to do with the subject. He reached to the back of his head when he felt something being thrown at him. He groaned finding a spit ball. What, were they in fifth grade again? Not that he was surprised, this happened almost every single day. He wiped the nasty spit ball on his jeans and sighed.
He stood up and grabbed his backpack when the bell rang. He made his way towards the door, but was tripped. He sighed; lately he'd been making good friends with the floor.
The same guys, who had thrown a banana peel at him, were laughing and stepping over him.
He sighed pulling himself up off the ground. Nobody ever paid attention to the poor kid who spent half the school day on the ground. He dusted off his shirt and pants and exited the room.
Lunch time, Roxas' least favorite time of the day…. An hour alone with crappy food, and usually some would find its way onto him. He sighed and sat down in his corner; he slowly ate the chips he had bought.
"Well, well look who's here." The same guy said grabbing Roxas by the hair. He pulled him up to his feet. "Still no friends freak? That's really sad."
Roxas sighed; trying not to show the bully how much it really bothered him. "Good to see you too Jake."
Jake snorted, "when you say my name it makes me sick." He pushed him against the wall. He leaned close to him. "Did you bring my money?"
Roxas sighed; "stealing my money? Isn't that a bit cliché?"
"Shut up ass wipe and give me your money."
Roxas rolled his eyes; "I already spent my money for today."
He punched him square in the jaw; "don't spend it tomorrow." He gave him one last punch in the stomach before leaving.
Roxas groaned holding his stomach; he slowly slid back to the floor.
"I hate guys like that." Demyx said to Axel as they walked past Roxas, who was hunched over in pain.
Axel shrugged; "what can you do? Unless we kick all their asses…"
Demyx sighed; "then we'd be just like them…"
Roxas watched them walk past; in his head he was screaming for Axel to help him; to stop the bullying, to stop the pain, to kill the loneliness. He held back a sob as he forced himself to stand up. He grabbed his bag and headed to the nurses office.
"Back again Roxas?" Aerith asked as Roxas sat on the bed.
"Yeah, I tripped and took a nasty hit to the face." Roxas mumbled dropping his back pack on the floor.
Aerith sighed handing him an ice pack for his swelling jaw. "Are you sure that's what happened? You've been tripping a whole lot."
Roxas carefully put the ice pack on his jaw; "Yeah. I've always been really clumsy."
She sighed; "if you say so Roxas. But you know, you can always confide in me."
Roxas smiled; "thanks Aerith." He hopped up and grabbed his bag. He didn't want to bother Aerith with his problems. She probably had plenty to deal with; she didn't need more from him.
He sighed walking out of the school. He made his way home.
"Hey kid!"
He stopped when somebody shouted at him. He turned around to see Axel jogging over to him. "You dropped this." He handed over his wallet.
"Oh…thanks…" He blushed and mumbled.
"No problem. Do you have free period this time too?" Axel asked.
"Uh…yeah…" Roxas lied; he was just ditching his last class.
Axel smiled; "sweet, don't you love having last period free? I love getting home an hour early."
Roxas nodded; "it's nice."
The red head smiled; "do you live this way?"
Roxas nodded; "I do."
"Cool, wanna walk home together?"
Roxas nodded shyly. He couldn't believe that he was walking, and talking to Axel. It felt like a bad dream. He was trying not to hyperventilate. 'Breath in, out, in, out…' He kept repeating in his head.
"So, you look really familiar…" Axel said looking over Roxas.
Roxas blushed; he really hoped that he didn't remember the embarrassing incident in gym.
"That's right! You were in my gym class last year weren't you! The kid who got hit with a volley ball!"
Roxas groaned; he remembered. "I was really hoping you wouldn't remember that."
Axel laughed; "sorry. It was just such a unique experience."
Roxas sighed; "well, can we not bring it up again?"
Axel shrugged; "sure if you want that."
Roxas nodded; "I do."
Axel nodded and stopped at his house. "Well this is where I stop."
Roxas nodded; "thanks for walking with me." He smiled slightly.
"Sure thing shorty, see you around sometime." Axel said before walking into his house.
Roxas sighed and continued to his house.
"I'm home." He called out to what he presumed was an empty house.
"Welcome home." Cloud called back walking out of the living room.
Roxas smiled and rushed over to hug his older brother. "You're home."
"Only for a while, school starts for me soon." Cloud said ruffling Roxas' hair. "What happened to your face Rox?"
Roxas sighed, he had forgotten about the lovely bruise that was forming on his jaw. "I tripped and smacked my face against the tile."
Cloud frowned not believing a word he said, but he didn't push it. "Go wash up, I'll make dinner."
Roxas nodded and raced up the stairs, his first hot meal in weeks. He was excited….
"Axel…" Demyx said looking up from the journal. "Have you noticed yet?"
Axel gave him a confused look; "Noticed what?"
"Whoever this kid is, he's been talking about you."
"What!" He looked back down at the journal.
"Yeah in this line 'HE remembered the day I got smacked in the face with a volley ball. At that moment I felt I could just die.' I remember that incident, you were team leader and Jake hit the ball right into a kid's face…"
"Oh yeah! I remember that day…but who was that kid who got hit?"
Demyx's eyebrows furrowed together; he couldn't remember either. "All I remember is that he had wild hair, almost as wild as ours."
Axel rolled his eyes; "well that narrows it down to the majority of Radiant Garden High."
"Hey, at least I remembered something! What do you remember?"
Axel sighed trying to think back on that day. "Not much…only that he didn't talk at all on the way to Aerith…so maybe he's shy?"
Demyx hummed; "That cuts that number in half." He sighed. "Think about it some more, maybe more details will come to you."
Axel nodded; "I'll keep reading too. Maybe something in the journal will trigger my memory."
Demyx nodded; "good idea…"
Axel froze when he realized something. "Demyx…this kid has the hugest crush on me then!"
Demyx gave him a look, "what do you mean?"
He flipped through all the pages pointing out the things Roxas had said about him. "First journal entry he said he developed a crush on a guy with a unique way of introducing himself. That's me. The journal entry about having been hit in the face with a volley ball, he spent most of the time gushing over me. Even this last entry we just read, he was talking about me."
Demyx laughed, "well damn, Axel you have a secret admirer."
Axel sighed and looked back at the journal. "I have to find this kid now…"
"Wasn't that the original objective?"
Axel glared; "well now it's even more urgent."
Demyx shrugged; "if you say so."
Ahhh Demyx is in on it! And Axel knows its him! This makes things a little more anxious! I'll see you next week for the next chapter!
Love it? Review it! Hate it? Review it anyway!
