Ah. It was the fabulous weekend. Only two days dammit. It was a bright Saturday as I ate my chocolate chip waffles (A/N- I actually ate some this morning) and orange juice. I looked around my small apartment realizing that it was a complete mess. Clothes were thrown everywhere, shoes, food, and it had a funny smell.
Ew. How can I live like this? Maybe school neglects of me actually doing some hygiene work around here. Plus I need to do laundry. Shit. I hate cleaning. This is going to take a long time.
My phone rang the batman theme song (I love batman!) as I picked up "Hello? Xion here." I pulled the top of my hair into some kind of caveman hair as it stuck up in the air with a red heart on it.
"Hey it's Roxas!"
"Xion is not here right now. Leave a message after the beep." I make a beep noise but I gave myself away as I laughed.
"You jerk. Anyways, we are going to get your skateboard right?"
I smiled "It was a joke and of course. We can meet up at noon if I can finish cleaning in time." I frowned at the thought.
"Cleaning? Let me help!"
I leaned against the table "Uh…I don't know…"
"Open up the door."
My brow furrow as I open the door to see Roxas smiling at me "Hey Buddy!" He teased as he let himself in. He shut his phone looking around "Wow. You are one dirty girl."
I sighed as I closed the door "I'm going to pretend that didn't sound disgusting. Yeah, school gets me busy so I need to clean." I shut my phone as I threw it on the couch.
Roxas smirked "Uh huh. Do you even own cleaning supplies?"
My cheeks darken in embarrassment "It's my first week here. You can't blame me for forgetting!" I remembered I was wearing a grey over shoulder top that stopped above my stomach, a black under shirt, some dark shorts, and black flats. Why do I look so dark?
He laughed as I raised my fist he stopped "Okay! Okay! Let's go buy some then all right? You have money?"
"I can use my parents credit card. Let's go then." I said as I got out the door as Roxas does the same. I lock the door as I hear Roxas's phone as it played 'Pens and Needles' by Hawthorne Heights. I love that song! "I love that song!"
Roxas smiled "Really? I love the band. Hold on, it's my mom." He answered it and I took this time to spy on what he was wearing. He wore a white hoodie that was checkered board across his shoulders, red shirt underneath, dark jeans, with some red Vans. His messy blonde hair looked really good today as well as his super blue eyes. His smile and I could see he had a dimple-.
Whoa. Hold up Xion. Are you checking him out? I am! Oh god…if I am going to do this thing at least it was with a really hot guy.
"Hey Xi. My mom told me to watch my baby brother. You don't mind right?"
I shook my head "Naw. I didn't even know you had a brother. Let's see him." I smiled as we walked to Roxas house. It was huge. It was completely white against my black clothing so I was clashing.
Roxas told me to stay in the kitchen so I did. I was looking around and I opened the cabinets to see my favorite old time snack. Goldfish. I glanced around as I opened it to pour some in the palm of my hand. I took a couple in my mouth smiling. I need to buy some goldfish when we hit the store.
"You are…?"
I gasp as I turn to see an older woman, she had brown hair tied up with a pink bow, soft green eyes, and a sweet face. I am guessing this is Roxas's mother.
"H-Hey…I was just…um…" I stutter stupidly.
She smiled "Sorry if I sounded rude. My name is Aerith, Roxas's mother."
I smiled. Oh, she is nice. "Xion Simons. Nice to meet you. Sorry for raiding your food. Goldfish is my weakness." I joked.
Aerith smiled "Funny. That is Roxas's favorite snack too. Are you his girlfriend?" She asked innocently.
I felt my face flare "N-No! We are friends!"
She pouted, "Oh…it's been awhile since he took a interest in a girl is all. Roxas is a nice young man. My oh my, would you two make beautiful babies!" I wonder if she knew about Roxas's reputation at school. "When he checked in on me he sounded really happy. I'm guessing it is because of you because he hates babysitting. I have to go somewhere with my husband. Speaking of him, Zack!" She called.
What she said got my thinking. Me? He is happy because of me? He wasn't before? Mother's do know best. I look to see a tall, muscular, dark hair man that a scar on his face. Boy was he handsome. Roxas's father? Where did he get his blonde hair?
"I'm Zack Hikari, Roxas's stepfather. Nice to meet you." He smiled holding out his hand. Stepfather? (A/N- Yeah I had to change it.)
I smiled back shaking it "Xion, sir."
"Don't make me sound old. Call me Zack." He saw the Goldfish in my hand as he started to laugh, "Reminds me of Roxas. We once had to stop buying Goldfish because that is all he would eat."
I started to laugh "Really?"
Then Roxas comes down the stairs with a small boy, brown hair that stuck up, blue eyes, baby face, and he reminded me of this cartoon I use to watch. Mickey Mouse? I think so, the whole red shorts, and yellow shoes.
Roxas's has a stepfather? I did not know that. Who is Roxas's father? I pondered over this as I started to eat more Goldfish. Hmmm.
Roxas snatched the bag "Hey! Those are mine!"
"Don't be stingy!" I grab the bag back as I kick his shin as he fell in pain. I smiled at the parents "I got everything under control. Who is this?" I smiled bending down to look at the brown hair boy.
Aerith giggled, "I see that. I don't have to worry then. That is our Sora. Adorable isn't he?" She smiled. "Honey! We have to go!" She playfully pushed him as Zack laughed. Wait. Sora? Could it be that same boy that Kairi talks about?
Zack smiled "Let me talk to Roxas first. Rox. You up now?" He nodded his head outside as Roxas got up to follow him. I saw them talking outside and I could feel the tension by the way they were talking.
Aerith must've noticed I was staring outside "Roxas has been stressed lately. My ex-husband or Roxas's real father wants to spend time with Roxas sometime soon. Roxas's doesn't forgive him for ending us but it was the best decision. Please, keep doing what you are doing. I haven't seen Roxas at all relaxed until he is around you. It makes me happy. Take care of him." She smiled as she said goodbye to Sora leaving out. I was staring into space with the newfound information. Roxas didn't even tell me but we are barely friends so it makes sense I supposed. I'll ask him later.
Roxas came back with a troubled expression then saw me as he smiled "Ready to go?"
I smiled back "Then let's! Are we going to walk there?"
Roxas gave me an are-you-stupid look "No. I convinced my dad to give me the keys to his truck. So we are driving there! I am a pretty safe driver." He gave a secret smirk.
"Liar! You're a liar!" Sora pointed and I realizing he was holding onto my hand. He is so cute. "You drive like a mad person!" How old was this kid? He looked about ten years old.
I smiled "I believe Sora. I will remember to strap us tight if you are driving." Roxas gave a playful scowl as we went outside to Zack's truck. It was huge (maybe because I'm so short), silver, and a truck. I always loved trucks. I strap Sora onto the baby chair (Isn't he too old for that?), I go in the front seat putting on my seatbelt, as Roxas climbs in the driver's seat. I never knew how to drive but I want to learn now.
xxXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXxx
I thought Sora was just exaggerating.
I thought I could trust Roxas's driving.
I should never trust Roxas! I was holding onto the chair for my dear life. Roxas didn't stop at 'STOP' signs, he drove in a high speed, he made dramatic turns, and he looked completely calm. Sora was yelling at Roxas and I was yelling at Roxas but Roxas only turned up the volume to drown us out. Jerk (A/N- I do have a friend who drives like that.).
We finally arrived to the store as I got out the truck calling out "LAND!" I fell to the very ground as Roxas's got out the car then closing the door locking it.
He laughed, "Now you are being overdramatic. Let's go."
I rolled my eyes as we were heading inside when I remembered "Roxas! You forgot Sora in the car!" I smack him upside the head as Roxas sighed.
"I was hoping you would forget. Man. So close. I'll go get him. Get the cart and I'll meet you in the cleaning section." He then ran off.
I sighed shaking my head as I grabbed a metal cart going inside the store. Cleaning section? Where was that? Incase you never noticed, I never went shopping because I loathe shopping. It is such a waste of time so I would rather let my parents buy me stuff and shit. So I was wondering the whole store looking for the damn cleaning section! For Pete's sake where is it? If Roxas finds out then he will tease me non-stop. Oh god.
I finally found it because they have these little neat things called signs on each aisle. You learn something new everyday. I went over to the aisle to see a smirking Roxas with Sora right beside him.
Sora ran over to me as I picked him up putting him in the cart where you sit the children. I never knew what those were called. I still see smirking Roxas. Ignore. Ignore. !
He spoke in my ear "Took you awhile. Never been shopping? You are supposed to be a woman." What? Sexist pig!
I punch his arm "You are sexist! Let's just get the supplies and leave! It's already ten!" I frowned at him.
Roxas laughed, "I am joking! That really hurt. Violent!" We went around the cleaning section getting a mop, broom, laundry detergent, shampoo for me, duster, toilet scrubber, toilet cleaner, Windex, and lastly dish washing soap. Now we were fighting about the brands.
"I don't like Palmolive! I want Dawn!" I growled at him holding up a Dawn bottle. It was blue and had cute Penguins on it. I can Effing save the animals! What does Palmolive do? Nothing! I like Penguins.
Roxas smacked his head "This is better! Just get it!"
"No! I want to save the Penguins!"
"Screw the Penguins!"
I gasped "You monster! You just want to poach them! You Poacher!"
Sora could only sigh, "You two are attracting attention. Stop flirting. It's nauseating to watch the whole ride." He frowned.
I felt my face flame "What? We are not flirting! It's my munny so I am getting Dawn. Screw Palmolive!" I smirk as I put it down going off as Roxas followed grumbling with a pink tint on his face. "Don't tell me about flirting Sora. I know your relationship with a certain Kairi Lakers." I smirked.
Sora was so adorable when he blushed "I-I don't know what you are talking a-about." Aw. He was embarrassed.
I smirked "Uh huh. Kairi talks about you."
"R-really? What does she say?"
"I thought you didn't know her."
"I-I…Fine! I know her. What does she say about me?"
I smiled "That you are a really sweet guy." I kiss Sora's cheek as I laugh at his expression. I end up in the cashier line as I start to pay for all my stuff. Roxas was glaring at Sora for some strange reason. Whatever. We walk back to the car as I start putting it in the back all my stuff. I went the same car ride as I suddenly gasped. I forgot the Goldfish! Man…this sucks.
I sniff the air smelling cheese as I turn to see Roxas driving and eating Goldfish. He bought Goldfish? When was this? They were on his lap so I must head for the kill. Kill for now! I grab the bag as I start to chew some down. Roxas started to reach for them yelling to hand them over as I fought back. The car was moving like crazy until finally we reached Roxas's place.
I finally hand them over as I get out the car, unstrapping Sora putting him down, and grabbing some bags going to my apartment. I unlock the door putting down the stuff as Sora runs inside as he sits down on the couch seeing my DS as he started to play games on it. I smiled as Roxas came in with the rest of the stuff.
xxXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXxx
We started to clean and I felt at peace and not so alone. Roxas occasionally did things like finding my panties (why the hell was he in my room?), spraying me with Windex saying he mistaken me for a pile of dirt, and sometimes slacking off.
Within an hour we were done. I smiled seeing my new helpers of cleaning, a clean house, and Sora sleeping on the couch as Roxas picked him up. I couldn't help but smile at how cute Sora is.
I smiled "So are you parents home? Drop Sora off so I can get my skateboard. Though you don't have to come."
Roxas smiled "I want to. Yeah, they should so I'll be back."
"How do I know that?"
Roxas gave a secret smile as he gave me a red origami heart "Take this. It's a promise." He gave a slight blush seeing my dumbfounded expression as he quickly left with his brother.
I stared at the heart as a smile came on my face "…Thanks." Was this some sort of sign he liked me? No Xion. It's only been a week! He probably means this as friends.
I go and change into some black jeans, a Darth Vader T-shirt, and some purple shoes. I didn't realize I left my hair like this the whole day as I pulled it off brushing it down.
I didn't realize Roxas had come in because he scared me. In the end, he ended up on the ground. He should know better.
"So mean to me. After I cleaned your apartment and even gave you a ride. Now I am going to help you shop for a skateboard. Ungrateful." He gave a fake pout.
I rolled my eyes "One, I didn't ask you to participate into my cleaning. Two, I wanted to walk but we went inside your truck which by the way was life threatening. Three, you wanted to shop with me."
Roxas sighed "But I did it right? Let me hear a thanks."
I sighed back and smiled "Fine. Thank you Roxas for doing these things that I did not force you to do."
"It shows how giving I am."
"Uh huh. Let's go." I pushed him out the door as I lock the door. Roxas's truck was waiting and I felt fear. If I were to die, it wouldn't be by a car crash. I noticed Roxas's clothes had changed, he wore beige pants that were partially black, black shoes with red laces, black undershirt with some sort of star thing on it, white jacket with checker board again but the inside was red, and his hair in its usual messy style. He always wore that checkered wristband and rings.
Again! Stop checking him out! I need to stop doing that!
We went on the death ride and arrived at some shop called 'Skull Fire Skate Shop' as he parks. The place was huge with a flaming skull on it, it had a dark style, and I saw so many things inside. This place was so amazing.
I saw some cute guy at the counter, he had fire truck red hair that spiked, green eyes, two upside down purple triangles under his eyes, he had a lanky frame, and man that smirk was really sexy. Now I am allowed to check him out. Who is he? He wore a black jacket, red T-shirt, black jeans, and he was leaning forward on the counter.
"Hey Axel. This is Xion from what I told you about." He smiled. You talk about me? Why? Axel? Nice name. "Axel. Xion. Xion. Axel." He introduced.
I smiled "Hi. Is this the shop Roxas tells me about?"
He smirked "Depends. Are you that girl Roxas tells me about?"
My skin flushed "Um. Yeah, I am. This is a pretty sweet shop. You own it?"
Axel smiled "I do. It's a hit so far but I need some workers. Want a job?"
My eyes went wide "Seriously? Yeah!"
Axel smirked "I like you enough so consider yourself hired. Roxas didn't want to work here."
Roxas smiled "Maybe some other time. After I'm done with school then I can. All right?"
We started to talk and I learned that Axel is a guitarist, likes to skateboard, art is a hidden talent for him, he is smart in a good way, and likes fire. A lot. Axel Aguilera.
If I weren't going for Roxas I would totally go for him. That is until I learned he had a girlfriend. Dammit. Though how could I expect him to be single all his life? She works for the shop too.
Larxene Strife. She had short blonde hair with two pieces of hair sticking out like a bug, green eyes, almost as tall as Axel, and she was very demanding. She likes electricity. Weird. They fit each other though I must admit. She is the daughter of Cloud Strife and she goes on how serious he is.
Roxas and me look at skateboards as I try to pick one out. There were so many to choose from but I wanted one with an awesome design. One that called out to me. Which one though?
We were there for an hour until Axel came out with a new model he just made. It was white, with black strips that curves like flames sort of, black wheels, and the bottom had a black heart. I smiled as I took it "I want this one!"
Axel smiled "My first customer who buys it. You sure?" I nod as I pay him. We wave as he said he was going to tell Roxas the information about my job. We leave when Roxas then passes me some gloves. I stare at them giving him a questioning look.
Roxas blushed "I thought you might want some gloves. Let's go." He grumbled out and I couldn't help but laugh. I made him home and for once he drove safely. I was about to get out when Roxas grabbed me from leaving.
"What?" I asked him.
Roxas put a finger to shush me as he was watching from the window. I look over to see a tall blonde hair man at Roxas's house. Who was that? The man left into his black mustang off into the distance.
Roxas was silent.
I asked, "Roxas…Who was that?"
Roxas hit his head on the steering wheel "That…was my father. He wants to spend time with me but I always dodge it. He finally decides to be in my life and I don't want to face him. If I do then I don't know what I do." He whispered.
My eyes softened as I put my hand on his back "Roxas. You are going to have face him one way or another. Is that why you wanted to hang out with me so badly?"
Roxas stiffly nodded "Partially. I didn't want to face him and he never acknowledges me even if we are near each other. It's like I'm invisible."
"Maybe he doesn't know what to say either."
Roxas shrugged "I don't know. He broke my home but I guess I'm glad he is gone. I made a new family and I won't let him get inside my life to ruin it again."
"Roxas, you should give him a chance at least."
"Do you think so?" He looked at me. His eyes sparkled underneath the moonlight, Gah! I am sounding like some stupid novel.
I nodded smiling "Yeah I think so. He can't be that bad."
Roxas scoffed "So you say. He is so serious and it's hard to make jokes with him whatsoever." Serious? Where did I hear that? Who exactly was his father? Should I ask?
"Who is your dad Rox?" I look to him.
Roxas ran a hand through his hair "Cloud. Cloud Strife. He is our English teacher and Larxene is my sister."
My mouth was wide open. Whoa. Wait, what?

Thank you so much! Leave a review please! This chapter was sort of only Roxas and Xion but don't worry! We will see everyone else in the next chapter! Leave a review to make me happy!
DID YOU KNOW…
To help me write this chapter was 'Nice Guys'- by TeeHee. You have to watch the video because it is hilarious. Even though it hardly had nothing to do with the chapter.
I use to not like Xion and Roxas but then I started to read fics of them because I was curious and got hooked. Then I played the game KH 358/2 Days (Was that the title?).
I might draw a Xion and Roxas doujin if I have time and maybe about this story. If I get a lot of reviews.
That reviews make updates go faster?
Thanks for reading! –BOW-
