Sora POV
My god, I love it. I said to myself as I finished drawing Roxas's wolf. "Well Sora what is your opinion?" dad asked as he stirred something in a pan.
"On the joining the pack thing?"
"Ya"
"Honestly I don't know. I mean sure we are friends with them, but I don't know if I want to change." I replied starting on Axel's wolf.
"Change?" Roxas asked adding a spice to the pan.
"I am happy and content with my life the way it is right now. Well, except for the stalker." I said truthfully.
"Well if we both are then we will decline the offer"
"I want to join, just not be around a bunch of other shifters if that makes since." I whispered not wanting to admit I was afraid of other shifters. But my dad's hearing has yet to fail.
"Sora it is alright to be scared, after our life especially"
"I not scared, just unsure" I half-lied
"Listen I'll go talk to Axel while you are at school tomorrow. I don't know why I just think he will understand." He said as he sat one of my favorite dishes on the bar. "Better eat over here, don't want nothing on your work"
I nodded and walked over. "So if Axel lets you not get too close to any other shifters, you want to say yes?" he asked.
"Yes, but only if you call me at school at 1 and I confirm it" I smiled around my fork as I took a bite of my food. " Which reminds me I might get to go on the big trip in like a week and a few days if I passed math"
He smiled "I'm sure you will and 1 is math right?"
I nodded and he shook his head "I think I could do that"
Roxas pov
I dropped Sora off and saw Axel was doing the same with Riku. I hopped out after saying goodbye to Sora and, walked over to his truck. He looked surprised that I voulneeterily walked up to him because he looked confused. "Well Roxas what can I do for you?" he asked in a very excited voice.
"I was hoping we could talk" I said a little freaked about this excited Axel.
"Sure"
"Let's drive the trucks back to my house and we can talk there" I said turning around back to my truck. "K see ya there Rox."
Axel's POV
"Ok we do want to join, but there is one problem" I started as we walked through the woods.
"What is the problem?" he asked quickly
"Sora is not comfortable around other shifters."
"How come?" he asked easily. That threw me off guard; I didn't expect him to ask why. I thought he would go straight to solutions.
"Well for many reasons, but I think one of the worst ones happened when he was 10. We were staying with friends and the alpha of the pack attacked him because Sora didn't know his last name, called him by his first."
"That was uncalled for he was only 10" Axel said leaning on a tree and looking over at me.
"Ya I know"
"Well is there any way we can solve it?"
"He wants to stay away from the other shifters as much as possible" I say looking back at him.
"We can deal with that and I can make it where he is always with you. How is that?"
"Don't know have to call Sora at 1 to see if he agrees"
Axel POV
Sora is afraid of other shifters? I guess it can be expected, having to run from them your whole life. "Why 1?"
I smiled seeing Roxas laugh "It's his math class, he hates math takes that from me I guess"
"So you weren't the goodie-goodie type in school?"
"Yes, I was quiet, only talked when spoken to, and kept to myself basically" he said picking up a twig from the ground.
"Well you know what they say" I paused "It's the quiet ones you have to look out for" he said at the same time as me. He looked over at me "That's what my brother used to say about me"
Seeing him look a little nervous I said "Well I will see you at school Roxas"
"Alright" he replied throwing the twig and following me. He waved good bye and went into the house and I left.
I pulled into the school and see Roxas already there. Parking I hopped out and went up to him. "Well Sora said that was fine, so I guess we accept the offer" Roxas said holding out a hand. I looked at the hand and pushed it away. He looked up at me with disbelief before I pulled him into a hug. He froze for a second, then sighed hugging me back. "At last I get reaction" I grin as he pushes me away.
"Don't touch me again" he glares.
"Can't kept promises"
"Dad, guess what!" Sora yells as he comes towards us. "What Sora?"
"I get to go on the trip and so do you!" Sora said excitedly and Roxas looked confused "What trip?"
"The week at Kings Island, remember I told you kids with good grades get to go on a big trip at the end of the year, well I got to and they needed chaperones so I signed you up."
"Ya I get to go too" Riku said putting an arm around Sora's shoulders "So we can all hang out because Axel, I signed you up as a chaperone too." It would be fun to go, but I will be alpha. "Sorry Riku, but I will be alpha then, I can't just leave" I stated.
Riku rolled his eyes "I have been trained to make sure everything is in order, I called Marluxia and asked him if he could hold everything for a week and he was happy to."
"Still what makes you think I would want to go?" I asked
"I know how much you love thrill rides and I know another reason I can't say aloud" he said and I understood what he meant. Spending time with Roxas. Alright he had me there. "Alright, I'll go, when is it?"
"Next Monday we have to be here at 5 in the morning"
I nodded and Sora said "I'll still be sleeping, that is ridiculous."
"Anyway," Riku said "Welcome to the pack Strife's"
"Thanks" Roxas said shaking Riku's hand.
I pulled into the school parking lot where a bunch of kids were standing around with many suitcases and parked. I looked around and saw Roxas and Sora heading towards a group of kids. Me and Riku jumped out of the truck and started that way. "Alright people listen up" Roxas yelled with a very demanding voice "I'm passing around a paper. I want every one of you to put your cell phone number on it so I can reach you." I heard a girl give out a wolf-call and all the kids started laughing.
"And if I find one call for a good time or anything along those lines I will make you stay in your hotel room the entire week" he said with a glare, making the kids quiet instantly.
I walked up and whispered in his ear "Who knew you were so dominant Roxy." He turned around to face me quickly, holding his ear "Don't do that again and don't call me that!"
"I couldn't help it Rox" I said looking over his appearance. He was dressed in a white muscle shirt and black basketball shorts. Even though it was simple, he made it look a whole lot hotter.
"Hey guys" Sora said dragging his feet. Roxas rolled his eyes "You will be out as soon as you hit the bus seat, who are you sitting with?" he asked his son.
Sora shrugged his shoulders "I really don't care I'm going to sleep"
"He can sit with me" Riku said punching Sora lightly in the shoulder "We are friends after all"
"Here Mr. Strife" a young girl came up and handed a paper to Roxas. "Thanks Kiari"
"Welcome" she said happily and skipped back towards the group. I watched a Roxas pulled out and IPod Touch from his bag along with his phone and put them in his pocket as the charter bus pulls up.
"Alright kids load up" he said and all the kids put there things underneath and get on. I sat in the front seat with Riku and Sora behind me. "All right roll call" Roxas said as he got on clipboard in hand and started naming of around 20 names. "All right everyone is here, we can go" he told the bus driver and he looked over the bus, then down at me.
"Mind if I sit over there?" he asked pointing to the window seat beside me. I really should say something to bug him, but its 5 something in the morning. "Course not" I said pulling my legs up so he didn't have to step over them. He sat down and I asked "I have a question there are plenty of seats why sit by me?"
"Simple if I sit back there I will never stop hearing girls talk about me, so annoying" he said untangling his headphones and putting one in his ear. Then started looking through the clipboard "Here you have to help some way, so help me choose rooms for everyone. We have a limit of 10 rooms and we have 23 students so, each room will have two except three will have three, but including us its 25 so" He stated
"Alright" I said "So three people per room"
"Ya so which of these kids you want in a room with you and Riku?" he asked
"Why not just put both of us, Sora, and Riku in the same room and then fill up the rest of the rooms. That way we can talk about pack things." I suggested and looked over at him. "No"
"Oh, I almost forgot is it because Sora has the problem?" I asked knowing without a doubt Riku was listening. "Yes"
"What problem does Sora have?" asked Riku and Roxas turned around
"Can't speak of it here" he said
"He is insecure around other people" I said knowing he would catch on. "Oh, does it have to do with the staying with a friend incident?" he asked
Roxas nodded "How you know?"
"We were talking in the library and he kept calling me Mr. Raynear. I wanted to know why he kept calling me by my last name and he told me about that" Riku said looking over at Sora who was out cold.
"Good he is starting to talk to other shifters without me present" Roxas smiled and turned back around.
"You think he will be fine with you all then?" he asked me, taking the clipboard while doing so
"I think so" I said
I woke up to someone saying my name and shaking my shoulders. I mumbled and turned away as much as I could in the seat.
"Axel!" they were saying my name louder now, but I ignored them I just want to sleep.
"AXEL!" they said slapped my shoulder. Ok this is ticking me off a little know.
"Axel if you do not wake up you are going to regret it" I think it was Roxas voice. What could he possibly do to make me re-. They cut off my train of thought as I felt hot breath on my ear "Axel" they breathed in a husky voice and I immediately opened my eyes to find it was indeed Roxas.
I stood up looking around to see all of the students were off the bus and that we were at a truck stop.I grabbed Roxas arm and pulled him to me "You shouldn't make your voice sound like that unless you know the consequences" I said in the same tone of voice he used on me a moment ago.
He shrugged out of my grasp and huffed "I wouldn't of had to use that voice if you would have woke up. We are halfway there at a truck stop we will not be stopping again so if you need to use the restroom, Better do it now" he said walking off the bus.
I followed noticing that I did have to go to the bathroom. We waited in line for the small bathroom and finally Roxas went in when one of the teen boys came out. "Hey Axel, you seen my dad" Sora walked up to me. He looked a lot more alert then he did when we left. "Ya he just went in, what you need?"
"Oh, I just need to tell him something" Sora said not looking at me. He was shuffling back and forth on his feet nervously looking from the front door to the bathrooms. "Dad" Sora said when Roxas came out "Code Grey"
Roxas immediately looked from Sora to the front door and quickly walked away saying "Stay here Sora". Sora nodded and watched Roxas go out the door and look around "Sora what is Code Grey?" I asked watching Roxas stiffen and walk behind the building.
"Can't tell" Sora said automatically and is see no use in trying to find out and went in the bathroom. When I leave to get back on the bus I see Roxas is already "There something wrong? And don't say nothing because I know it isn't"
"It's alright now" he said looking out the window.
"Ok, but at least tell me what Code Grey is."
"It's when one of us see a grey building" Roxas said and I heard Sora let out a laugh, making Roxas smile.
"Ya and when I see a yellow car I yell twinke" this made even Riku laugh
"It's when we see my stalker ok I'm not saying anymore" Roxas said putting his headphones back in.
