Figures A and B Means You and Me

o-o-o

Axel smirked shakily, running a hand through disheveled hair.

This was... interesting. To say the very LEAST.

Two crudely drawn faces were on the sole school bulletin board, one with long, eccentrically red hair. Him. The other was a spiky blond, obviously Roxas. They were sharing what Axel thought was a poapu fruit. Under the picture held the words in cursive, "I like you."

WHAT!

That was Axel's brain committing suicide. Was this some sort of sick, demented joke? Was someone playing a trick on him? BECAUSE HE WAS NOT LAUGHING. Roxas most certainly couldn't have did that, because, well, he hated him.

He wasn't going to let his guard down to believe such a blatant lie, not a chance.

But honestly, what was this shit? Axel narrowed his eyes, grinding his teeth together. He slowly turned to Cloud, Yuffie, and Demyx, who stood in a circle around him. "WELL?"

Yuffie shrugged. "I dunno. Me and Demyx were walking to study hall, and had to check out the board for soccer, y'know? And we just saw this. It's so cuuute though!!" she finished with a squeal, only further pissing Axel off. She calmed slightly at the heat radiating off him in waves. "Woah, what the hell is wrong with you?"

Axel's tightly clenched fists unraveled, and he shook his head. "This is some fucking joke."

"Axel!" Demyx whispered slash shrieked, "I doubt this is a joke. I think blondie may well, like you, yeah? 'Cause, when you're not watching him, he's watching you."

"Bullshit," the redhead hissed. "I'm always watching him, Dem. I think I should know."

"Quit lying to yourself, if he likes you then he likes you. Go ask him," Cloud murmured, giving Axel a small, disapproving frown. He took Axel's hand, wincing at the fire simmering there, and lead him through the halls toward a small secluded alcove to which all the popular kids liked to loiter around. The space had two small benches, and a large window with a good view of the soccer fields. "There," Cloud pushed Axel in front of him, stepping aside.

Roxas was leaning against one of the benches, Sora talking to Riku and Kairi animatedly about something. At the sight of the red head, Riku immediately glared, perfect lips forming a thin, hard line. Sora glanced in his direction, face devoid of anything, and Roxas seemed mildly intrigued.

"Uhh," Axel scratched the back of his head, blushing. A first for him. What was he supposed to say with two hawks ready to take him down. Sora and Riku were gonna kill him! He could just feel the hate, but Roxas stepped forward, his teeth worrying his lip. Axel found it adorably sexaayyy.

The both began at the same time, "So..."

"No," Axel shook his head with a grin, "you go first."

"Uhmmm..." Roxas glanced away, not meeting his eyes. His hands fidgeted with his jacket.

"I like you," they spoke in unison again, and stopped. Axel breathed deeply, closing his eyelids. The boy of his fantasies, his fucked up dreams, liked him. After he stole his cell phone. It was a beautiful thing.

"Ruh - really?" Axel thought that his voice was too shaky, it didn't sound like he was even speaking.

Gawd, Roxas looked so HOT though.

The boy nodded, shedding a small smile. "Yeah... you know I left my cell phone for you that day? Don't tell me you actually thought I didn't think you had it?"

Axel was struck mute. He vaguely registered Sora's gentle laughter, and Riku's sly grin. The bastards knew.

Roxas slung a hand on his hip, pouting. "Wow, you're kind of slow aren't you?"

At that little comment, Axel found his voice, moving in closer to the now his Roxas. "Yeah well, you're a good actor. Or whatever. So like, why'd you WANT me to find it? You didn't even know me...?"

"I wanted to know you. You were always the kind, crazy, outcast kid... and I dunno, I wanted a change." Roxas closed the remaining distance between them, burying his face in the taller boy's chest. "Is that okay?"

The fire licking Axel's eyes burned down, and he smiled, wrapping tentative arms around the bundle that was Roxas. "Hey hey, of course that's okay. I just - just can't believe my eyes that I'm holding you and you're real." He turned his head a little, and saw that Cloud had vanished, probably when the conversation started. Hm. He looked into deep blue eyes, tugging Roxas's chin up. "You did draw that, right? Of us, and the fruit thing. It would have kinda sucked if you didn't."

"No, I did. You like it?"

Axel nodded.

"But I like you more."

"Rikkkku, they're too mushy, it's giving me cavitiesss!" Sora hissed, hiding in Riku's arm.

"Lets not ruin their moment. C'mon."

The two got up, but that only left the rest of the kids in the alcove, who were staring at Axel and Roxas quite openly. But they didn't really seem to care, Axel's middle finger going up. R-O-X-A-S was currently snuggling in his arms, he just didn't give a flying FUCK what anyone else thought.

"HEY, waitaminute!" Axel screamed suddenly, pulling Roxas at arms length. "I read your text messages, cause uhh, I got bored and all. What about the whole 'relationship' thing. What the hell was that about? Was that planned too?"

Roxas nodded slowly, smiling at Axel's burning eyes. "Yeah kinda, I wanted to make you jealous a little. Did it work?"

"Too well," Axel replied, only slightly perturbed. Cause well, hey, Roxas was his... wait no, hold up. "Soooo, will you be my bee eff?" He waggled his eyebrows for good measure.

"Totally," Roxas laughed.

For the first time in a long time, Axel was honestly happy.
