Chapter 3
"Roxas! Psst! Hey! Roxas, I'm bored." Roxas sighed, sparing a glare at his redheaded boyfriend. He never should have told him where he was going, but Axel had a way of weaseling information out of everybody.
"Axel, you haven't even opened a book yet. As a matter of fact, we just sat down." Axel fidgeted in his seat, casting a puppy-dog look towards Roxas. "We're staying," he stated, not even bothering to look up. Sighing in defeat, Axel slouched down into his seat. Roxas might want to study but Axel would be damned if he ever touched a book without needing to. Which left him with only one option, his favorite pastime – annoying Roxas. Grinning evilly to himself, Axel set his plan in motion.
Noticing some kids nearby – kids who were staring rather rudely at him – Axel began making faces at them. Crossing his eyes, Axel stuck out his tongue, twisting it into the shape of a three-leaf clover. The little kids laughed at him as they began making obscene faces back. Before long they had attracted a large, whispering crowd, which in turn attracted the attention of the strict, elderly librarian who wasted no time in chastising the pyromaniac for his immaturity.
With one more disapproving glare, the woman stalked off and Axel turned his attention back to the task at hand. Picking up a book, he began to flip through it with exaggerated movements, making sure the page turns were as loud as possible.
"Knock it off," Roxas snapped as he refused to lift his eyes from the page he was currently trying to read. Axel smirked, knowing that his effort was gaining some type of response. Tossing the book onto the table, Axel tilted back in his chair, giving a long stretch as he cracked his back.
"I'm hungry," he stated, rummaging through his backpack.
"You can't eat in the library."
"Relax, Roxas, I won't get caught," he whispered, amused.
"Axel, if you get me in trouble, I will kill you," he hissed. Axel raised an eyebrow in amusement as he popped part of a Fruit & Oatmeal bar into his mouth.
"Mm, strawberry," he exaggerated. Roxas shot him another glare as the boy happily ate his snack. The librarian, however, had been watching eagle-eyed, looking for a chance to throw the disruptive boy out of her library and instantly swooped down.
"Both of you, out," she hissed, a triumphant smile on her face. Axel rolled his eyes as he placed the front legs of the chair back onto the floor and stood up.
"Whatever," he mumbled. Roxas glared at both Axel and the librarian as he gathered up his books. Stalking them to the entrance, she all but shoved them out the door.
"And you can find your books elsewhere for the next month! Such behavior is not acceptable in a library," she called, slamming the door behind them. Axel flipped her off, shoving the rest of his food into his mouth. Roxas glared at him before stalking off.
"You needed a study break anyway!" Axel yelled at Roxas' retreating form.
"Once, Axel," he hissed, whirling on the taller boy. "Just once, I'd like to get through my studying without you wreaking havoc." Axel crossed his arms as he stared down at his boyfriend.
"I bet if I left you alone you wouldn't be able to study at all." Roxas snorted.
"Oh, really? And why's that?" Axel smirked.
"When I'm sitting there with you, you know what I'm up to. If I weren't there when you're studying, you'd be too preoccupied trying to figure out what I was up to."
"Yeah?" Roxas challenged.
"I'll prove it to you. Tell me the next time you're going to study, and I'll leave you alone."
"Fine," Roxas snapped. "Fifteen minutes, Axel," he continued. "You got us kicked out of the library for a month, in fifteen minutes." Axel grinned.
"I bet in another fifteen minutes I can make you forget about it."
"You're making a lot of bets today, Axel," he said, unlocking his front door.
"You think I can't?" He asked, shutting the door after him. Roxas smirked as he dropped his backpack on the floor.
"You've got fifteen minutes," he said, setting his alarm. "Starting now." Axel grinned and pounced.
