So I got board and thought I will get started on this chapter. Um... I don't have much to say if you have any questions about the story just let me know :)
-----
Destiny Island was almost like living in a small town but it was an island but the problem was there were tons of people that lived there and as odd as it may sound everyone knew everyone and any stories that happened at any party or any social gathering would be spread all over the island in no time. For Roxas all the students at Destiny High School Academy were talking about how he and Axel were about to make-out from Lea's senior graduation party he threw for his friends. Of course that story had changed, some students at school said they were 'doing it' and many more other rumors Roxas was sick of.
The entire week he couldn't get Axel out of his head, he even avoided Lea. Since Axel lost all his weight he realized he looked a lot like Lea only a bit skinnier in the face, tattoos and way hotter. Of course Roxas would never admit that to anybody.
The friday before graduation Roxas didn't want to spend anytime with anyone other than Hayner, Pence and Ollette. After school that day they all met up near the boardwalk to grab some sea-salt ice cream and just talk.
"I can't believe its over, all over," Hayner told his friends.
"School?" Ollette questioned.
"Yeah I mean..." He licked his popsicle, "I still remember the day we started kindergarden and it just flew by so fast."
"Hey there's still college," Pence pointed out, "It's not all over."
"I know that but grade school and college are two totally different things," said Hayner.
"Which college are you guys going to again?" Ollette asked Hayner and Pence.
"For the longest time I was thinking about moving to Twilight Town and going to the university their but I thought I really don't think I would like the city too much so I decided go to the Destiny Kingdom University on the coast," Pence answered.
Hayner nodded, "Yep I could never leave the beach, I mean look its paradise all year around."
Ollette chuckled to herself, "This is like my home I couldn't see myself anywhere else."
Roxas was zoning in and out of the conversation again. He couldn't agree.
"Earth to Roxas." Hayner waved his popsicle stick in front of the blond's face.
"Oh sorry," Roxas mumbled to himself.
"Man what's been up with you lately?" Hayner asked.
"You've been such a zombie," Pence chuckled.
Roxas shrugged his arms, "Well I've been thinking about what you guys have been saying and I disagree about staying here on Destiny Island."
"What do you mean Roxas?" Ollette asked feeling more concerned.
"Yeah I know its paradise here 24/7 and so on but... I want more than this. I know my dad has his huge boating business here and would like for me and Sora to take the company but once we get out of college I don't think that's what I want." Roxas answered.
"Are you saying you want to leave Destiny?" Pence asked.
"Well, yeah pretty much, I applied to the University of Twilight Town and I've been accepted. I would really like to go there an-"
"And do what?" Hayner interrupted, "You have everything here for you, friends, family, school even a job. There's no reason to leave this island your entire life is here." Hayner argued.
"Look you three are my best friends in the world but what I want here isn't offered for me, and Twilight Town isn't that far... well I guess it is but the train system makes it shorter, I can come visit anytime I want. Its like what about an hour from here to Twilight Town right?"
"But what does Twilight Town have that Destiny Island doesn't have?" Hayner questioned.
"You guys know how I enjoy writing and I do love fashion so I was thinking on being a writer for the fashion magazine MODE."
(A/N LOL MODE is the name of the magazine from my favorite tv show Ugly Betty haha I was trying to come up w/ a name for the magazine but MODE kept coming to mind)
"Don't do it Roxas!" Hayner begged, "It's bad money!"
"No I would like to become an editor eventually and since my family has money I would love to run the publications when I move up the ladder," answered Roxas.
"Roxas I admire you for wanting to be on your own and going to do what you love to do," said Ollette being supportive.
Roxas smiled at her, "Thanks." He could always count on her.
"Damn you two stop being so mushy, anyway I gotta bounce I need to go see if my car is ready from the shop would any of you like to come?"
"Hex yes I do! I must see the new paint job," said Pence following Ollette and Hayner.
"You guys go on without me I'm gonna head on home, I'll check it out tomorrow Hayner," said Roxas walking off the other direction.
"Ok peace man," Hayner and the gang waved bye.
As they split Roxas walked along the boardwalk with many things on his mind, he decided to go inside some of the shops seeing if there was anything he wanted to buy. He went inside his favorite skating store and checked out the latest skateboards that came in. As he was looking he heard a voice that sounded very familiar but tuned it out. 'Nah it can't be,' he thought to himself.
"Dude you need to calm down, you tend to start all this drama and everything is always my fault."
Roxas couldn't help but keep on listening in on the other person's conversation that was going on over the phone.
"Forget it and plus you're acting as if I was cheating on you and I wasn't, we've been over for like what two years now? We're friends and you do this to me whenever you see me with another guy."
Roxas was all ears now, this guy was gay so he had to take a peak and see who this decided to casually walk into the other room of the store that sold skater clothes and jewelry right as he walked in he came face to face to the last person he wanted to see.
"Axel?" Roxas questioned giving the redhead a disgusted look.
Axel closed his phone and stared blankly at Roxas, "Oh hey there um..."
Roxas didn't want to converse with him so he decided to turn around and walk out.
"Roxas!" Axel hollered running after the blond, he caught up to Roxas before he walked out of the store. "Hey what's up with you?" Axel asked not sure why Roxas was acting so strange.
"Go away I can't stand you!" Roxas said back.
"You never change do you Roxas? Are you still feeling upset about the party the other night because I seriously didn't know that was you."
"Whatever you've always liked me, I'm sure you planned that," the blond shot back.
"Um no, Roxas I hated you for the longest time, and a part of me still dislikes you, so why would I try to do that with you?" Axel asked. "How did you not know it was me? Seriously because Reno, Lea and I are the only redheads here on this Island... well including Kairi but she has a darker color." Axel mumbled off the last part. Roxas just glared at Axel and couldn't help but notice how good looking he was, he could tell Axel meant no harm and felt bad for being a bit harsh on him. But he wasn't about to tell him that.
"I guess some people never change but there are some that do. I don't know why but all the students from school used to hate me especially you but now most of them have matured and pretty much grew up. Except you Roxas, why is that?" Axel gave Roxas a weak smile and decided to leave the store leaving Roxas to feel bad.
Roxas growled at the back of his throat and followed Axel, "Ok I'm mostly pissed because of everyone else," Roxas said back to Axel, Axel stopped walking and turned around to face the blond. "What I'm saying is everyone is always talking about me and I'm sick of the drama here and when that whole thing went down at the graduation party the other night everyone was talking about me and saying all these negative things behind my back. I guess I'm sick of it and wanted to blame it all on you even though it was an accident ok?!"
Axel was surprised to hear what Roxas had to say but stayed cool about, "That's it? Ok well I guess since we have that settled then I'll see you at graduation tomorrow." Roxas couldn't believe Axel's reaction after he told him how he felt. "... Seriously?" Roxas asked but then realized Axel said he was coming to the graduation ceremony.
"Wait a sec! You're coming?" Roxas asked.
Axel nodded, "Yeah well I wasn't until Lea invited me so I thought why not."
"I see..."
"So I see you still skate since you were here at the Pacific Sun Skate shop,huh?" Axel noticed.
"Mmh I do but not as much as I did back in the beginning of high school, what where you doing here? You don't skate do you?" Roxas asked back.
"Hell no, me and sports don't mix. I like to check out the clothes here because they have some nice jeans and well as you can see I like to look fashionable," Axel laughed.
Roxas looked Axel from top to bottom, he had a nice pair of straight jeans with rugged holes, along with leather boots that came a couple inches over his ankles and a tight black long sleeved v-neck shirt. The blond couldn't help but think he looked perfect.
"How'd you get so skinny?" Roxas asked not caring how rude the question might be.
"I just got tall in high school and my metabolism just got real high and one day I was a size 29," Axel anwered.
(A/N a 29 for men is like a size 2 for women, I know this because my younger brother who's a junior in high school is a stick and wears size 29 in mens clothing haha)
Axel began to walk along the boardwalk as Roxas started to follow, "You know it's weird you and Sora are twins because you guys look nothing alike."
"I know," said Roxas.
"You have blond hair and blue eyes and he has brown hair and his eyes are blue but a bit differently than yours."
Roxas wasn't sure if that was a complement or not. Roxas wanted to add more to his and Sora's differences, ' Sora is an inch taller than me, he's straight, more athletic, a bit dumber and smiles too much,' Roxas thought to himself. They continued walking passing by other people who were also enjoying the beach.
"It feels so good to be back here," Axel said as he stopped walking and looked out onto the sunset.
"Where were you all during high school?" Roxas asked trying to be a bit smug to not make it look to obvious that he cared.
"I went to a private school at Radiant Garden right outside of Hollow Bastion," the redhead answered still gazing out at the sun.
"You got into that school? Jeeze you must be smart, it probably was good for you being with your own kind and all," Roxas teased.
Axel stopped looking at the sun and looked at Roxas confusingly, "Excuse me?"
"I'm saying you're such a nerd, did it make you feel better to be at a school with students just like you," Roxas answered rephrasing his question.
"You don't have to be a genus to get in, like my friend Demyx the guy playing the guitar at the party with the mullet?" Roxas nodded remembering the guy. Axel continued, "Well he's not super smart he got in for the arts program there in music, I got in because for one I am smart ,not to brag or anything, two for fashion design and three my kick-ass writing skills."
Roxas nodded and just realized Axel likes the same things he likes, writing and fashion.
"It's getting dark now, guess I better get back to the house. My car is over there, did you drive too?" Axel asked.
"No me, Hayner, Pence and Ollette walked here from school."
Axel did the math in his head and if memory serves he recalls that Roxas lives over a mile away from this side of the beach. "Do you still live over on 13th street by Paupu Drive?"
"Yeah why?" Roxas questioned.
"You don't plan on walking all the way over there do you?" Axel said getting smart with Roxas.
It finally came across Roxas' mind that he didn't want to walk all the way home from this location, 'Great he wants to drive me home! Better keep my legs crossed so he won't rape me,' he thought.
"I'll drive you." Axel finalized walking towards his car.
"Nah you know what, I'll just call Sora."
Axel rolled his eyes, "No I'm not leaving you out here for your ride, get in," Axel pointed over at the passenger door with bit of a demanding tone. Roxas sighed and did as he was tol
"Audi huh?" Roxas said putting his seat belt on after he shut the door.
"Best car ever," Axel said revving up the engine. "What do you drive?" Axel asked driving out of the lot.
"BMW Z3."
"That's a nice one, you know I came close to getting one but decided to settle on this one," Axel replied.
Roxas nodded, he couldn't help but enjoy Axel's company, he's really not that bad. There was one question on his mind, who the hell was that pink haired guy at the party. "Axel?"
"Hm?" Axel glanced over.
"Who's that guy hating on me at the party, the one with the pink hair?"
Axel chuckled, "Oh Marluxia."
"He's an ass."
Axel laughed once more, "He's my ex, I can't stand him either."
"Why was he there if he's your ex, I mean seriously he shouldn't even be near you if you don't like him," Roxas stated.
Axel started to get the idea that Roxas was jealous or he at least hoped so. He began to smirk at the idea. "We're real good friends but the problem is we were in two serious relationships not to long ago but he cheated on me twice and I had enough and ended it. As odd as this may sound we were friends for the longest time and I like hanging out with him. He just gets upset whenever I'm with someone I like or even if I'm interested in the guy, he's always been like that."
'Does he hate me because Axel likes me?' The blond questioned in his mind. Roxas was beyond confused, "That's stupid, if I were you I'd stop seeing him."
Axel was now finding this amusing, but he kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything. "Well... We're here." Axel said as he put the car in park. It was too soon for Roxas, he wanted to get the dish on Marluxia and be with Axel some more. Of course he would die before telling that to anyone. All he thought about was how time flies when you're having a good time.
Roxas sighed, "Finally, um..." He didn't want to be to rude to Axel so as he opened the door to step out he turned back and waved goodbye, "Thanks for the ride."
Axel smiled and waved his hand, "No prob, see you around."
Roxas watched him drive off, he couldn't help but feel confused. A part of him had these strange feelings for Axel, but the problem is Axel would probably never date him after what he did to him back in middle school and last but not least he had Marluxia to deal with.
