Hello, again, everyone! This chapter has a bit of akuroku in it ((not much...)), but you have been forewarned.

Oh, and I just noticed something about my apartment this morning, as I left for school: My number is 138. Lol. I can't believe I never noticed that before.

Anywho.

Warnings: Shounen ai and swearing.

So after my fourth class of the day, which was the one directly before lunch, I was walking and chatting with Olette. We were talking about useless things; everything from how much we loved Fridays to why the sky wasn't purple. We were on our way to her locker to get her lunch bag. She always brought her lunch, like me, because the school lunches were awful tasting.

"And that is the answer to the meaning of life," she concluded. I nodded toward her, and we just kind of kept walking quietly toward her locker. When we got there, she proceeded to put everything in it and take out her lunch.

"Well, I guess this is where we part," I told her, and she smiled sweetly and gave me a hug before leaving. I sighed and shrugged as she let go of me. She liked hugs a bit too much. I wasn't a big 'huggy' kind of person myself. I had a very large personal bubble, and I preferred for people not to pop it.

Anyway, so as she went on her merry way, I headed off toward my locker. I had things to put up, and I was unsure of where I was supposed to be meeting Axel, so I just decided he would find me. Yeah, so I was a bit lazy.

Axel ended up finding me right about when I got to my locker. Though, when I asked him how he had known which locker was mine, he said he hadn't even known in the first place. He claimed it was by pure coincidence that he happened to be walking toward the restroom that was halfway down the hall from my locker and spotted a short blonde, who just so happened to be, by complete coincidence, me. Of course it was. Regardless, he knew where my locker was located now.

So, after we met up, he told me that we were going to be eating lunch in the courtyard, where there were always fewer people. I shrugged; it sounded fine with me.

"We always sit underneath our tree there," he explained. "For breaks, lunch, and when we're skipping classes. It's like our little area, you know? Everyone else stays clear of it."

I spaced out a bit after that, thinking about how happy I was to be eating with him. I was even a bit excited to meet his friends. All of this surprised me greatly; I was quite the antisocial little bastard most of the time. But this guy was just so... I wasn't quite sure of how to explain it to myself by other means than 'indescribable.'

He looked over at me when he realized that I had stopped responding to him. He waved a thin hand in front of my face and tripped over what I presumed to be something invisible on the floor. Next thing I knew, he sprawled over on the ground. Man, this guy needed to pay attention to his feet.

"You okay?" I asked him, leaning down over him. He groaned and rubbed his head.

"Man, that hurt," he mumbled. His face was slightly flushed, and he had an embarrassed frown on his face.

He looked up at me and his lips parted slightly, just staring at me. I honestly had to resist the urge to ask 'what?'. His eyes looked like they were full to the brim with some emotion that was unknown to me, but he kind of leaned in, so I leaned in a bit too. Next thing I knew, my brain was screaming at me "NO! STOP! DON'T KISS HIM!" Of course, by then it was a bit late, and our lips had already touched softly. It lasted for a second, maybe two, but it felt nice. Even after he pulled away, I could still feel the imprint of his mouth against mine. My lips tingled slightly; I blushed a bright red as my mind pretty much went blank.

"I, uh, sorry Rox, I, uh," he mumbled, looking at the ground.

Out of a mix of reflex and not knowing how to act, I felt my hand hit his face with a large SMACK.

"Ow!" he exclaimed loudly. He looked shocked as he held his face in pain; there was a bright pink hand mark on his cheek.

My eyes got as wide as they possibly could, and I raised my hand to my mouth, wondering what the hell I had just done, and quickly turned around and raced off, leaving him there on the ground.

--AXEL'S POV--

I sat on the ground holding my face for what seemed like an eternity. I shouldn't have kissed him. Dammit, that pretty much ruined my chances for anything completely, didn't it? Why the hell did I have to do that?

Well, it wasn't my fault that he had looked so very... irresistibly sexy and tempting at that moment. Besides, he leaned in too.

I was there for at least ten minutes, just sitting on the ground in the hallway that had emptied since people went to lunch, before I realized that Demyx and Zexion would probably freak out if I wasn't here soon.

I sighed, and stood up, stretching my legs out. I walked toward the door that led to the courtyard and stepped through.

"We didn't even get to eat lunch together," I murmured, shaking my head softly, then staring up at the sky.

Who knew rejection from some kid I had just met would hurt so much?

--

Wow, my kiss scene... didn't quite turn out how I had wanted it to at first. Lol. But, before I even realized it, it had already been written out and... yeah.

Oh noes! Roxas and Axel got into a fight! What will happen next?

Review if you want to know! :D
