I couldn't get any redder than I already was. Roxas and I just figured out to start dating last night and we already excelled further than I was used to. Everyone was staring at us but it didn't seem like Roxas cared.
Roxas's hand casually tugged me along by my own. That's right, we were holding hands; in school; in front of everyone. I was trying to not let anyone notice, but it was already too late for that.
The whispers made me even more nervous. I always was the quiet kid in the school who never got any attention from anyone. I was basically dead to everyone and now suddenly I was the center of attention. Which I didn't like.
"R-Roxas…" I whispered his name but because we were so close to each other he heard me clearly.
"What is it?" He stopped and looked back at me, his hand still attached to mine.
"P-People are… staring." I slightly glanced over at the groups of kids at the lockers. They flinched then quickly walked away, whispering to each other. "And… whispering."
He smiled at me and squeezed my hand. He leaned in, his lips brushed the skin on my cheek. A jolt of pleasure ran down my spine as I couldn't help but grab on to him to hold myself up.
His kisses didn't stop. They traveled until he finally captured my lips with his own. A soft moan escaped me. I wanted to pull away from him, but my body wouldn't do as I said.
"R-Roxas… Stop…" He took this opportunity to slip his tongue in to my mouth. His tongue wrapped around my own, his free arm wrapped around my waist and pulled me closer to him.
"Since when did they start having porn in school?" I quickly detached from Roxas at that voice.
"Hey Axel." It sounded like I was the only one that cared that we were caught kissing by another male.
You're bold holding hands down the hall during school. You never did that with me." Roxas grabbed on to my hand once again, pulling me closer to him. I tried to object but my voice wouldn't work.
"First off I like him way more than you. And second, we never dated." I was relieved to hear him say both of those. If Axel was my love rival I would surely lose.
The bell suddenly rang. Roxas and Axel said their goodbyes. Then Roxas led me to my first class by the hand.
**********
I sat in a daze the whole rest of the day. I didn't even pay attention to the teacher during class. During the classes Roxas and I had together, he had switched seats and sat right next to me. Just like he was doing in English.
It was embarrassing with all the looks directed at me. I didn't like attention, especially why I was getting it now. But it seemed like it didn't even affect Roxas at all. He just went on with his day.
My thoughts were interrupted when a folded piece of paper landed on my desk in front of me. I glanced over at Roxas, he smiled. I quietly unfolded the paper and smoothed it out.
Come over to my house after school. I get lonely when I'm all alone in that big house.
Before I even read the rest of the note my mind had already did a mental "Yes!" to his question. I took out my No. 2 pencil and wrote my reply.
Sure.
I folded it back up and tossed it back when the teacher wasn't looking. I waited patiently for Roxas to read the note I had just passed back to him. I could already see in my mind the smile on his face as he read the note.
The note flew back on to my desk. I unfolded the badly crumpled piece of paper and smoothed it out as soon as much as possible. It looked different from the last time I saw it.
Let me fuck you. Roxas won't mind.
I suddenly dropped the note in my hands. That was definitely not the note from Roxas. I slowly turned my body to look where the note had come from.
It was a guy two seats behind Roxas. He had short blond hair that swept to the left over one of his eyes. He had earrings all the way around the curve of his ear plus an eyebrow and nose ring. He licked his lips sensually and winked at me.
I whipped around and quivered. I hadn't even noticed there was a guy like that in our class. But he definitely creeped me out. I could tell he liked to slam in to his partners and I was still a virgin.
"What's wrong?" I jumped. I expected it to be that guy but I relaxed when I saw it was Roxas. I tried to hide the naughty note. I knew Roxas wouldn't like me getting notes like that from anyone else but him.
"Uhh… Nothing." Before I could do anything, he reached over and snatched the note out of my hands. "No! Wait Roxas!" He kept a clam face as he read it. I bit in to my bottom lip, fearing the worse.
"Ahh… I see what this is." I could feel the anger in his voice although he didn't show it on his face. The truth was I was scared.
"Roxas? We're in the middle of class. If there's something you need to talk about I'm sure that the whole class would love to know what it was." Everyone shifted in their seats to look at Roxas.
He stood up suddenly. "Yes. There is something I would love to share with the class." He walked down to aisle and stopped at the guy who gave me the note's desk. He slammed the note down on his desk, I jumped. "Is this your idea of a joke? 'Cause I'm not laughing!"
"Ah! Wait, Roxas!" I knew what he was going to do, but I could stop him in time. He punched the boy in the face, sending him to the ground. Roxas jumped on his, beating his face.
I jumped up from my desk. The boy was starting to throw punches back at Roxas. I grabbed on to Roxas's waist and tried to pull him off of the male, but he didn't budge.
All of a sudden I felt a fist smash in to the side of my face. I fell to the ground and smacked my head. I groaned from the pain in my cheek and head. It hurt so badly and I wished it would go away. But as much as I groaned and scratched at the floor, the sharp throbbing pain wouldn't go away. The soft ringing in my ears made it hard to concentrate.
"Zexion! Are you okay?! Can you hear me?!" I heard Roxas's frantic voice, but I didn't want to open my eyes. I felt his hands pull me in to his chest. I grabbed on to his shirt, slightly feeling the pain go away from being touched by him. Was he hurt? How many punches had the other guy land on him? Was he bleeding on me? Because I could feel drops of cold liquid fall on to my cheek. Or was he crying?
"Roxas… Make it stop… It hurts." It felt like I was going to die. I could have a concussion from hitting the floor so hard. What if I lost my memory? What if I forgot Roxas? My life would be over. It took so long to get everything like this.
**********
"Zexion… I'm so sorry." I sighed. I had lost count of how many times Roxas had apologized to me. I had already forgiven him long ago; I just wished he wasn't such an idiot in the first place.
I had blacked out not long after I had hit my head. Roxas carried me to the nurse's office and I was rushed to the hospital. Luckily I only had a slight concussion and it wouldn't affect my life. The doctor wrapped up my head since it was bleeding slightly, luckily I didn't need stitches, and told me to stay home from school until Tuesday next week.
It wasn't all bad. Roxas was suspended for two weeks because of fighting. The other boy had the same punishment. The male had a broken nose and lots of bruises and cuts on his face. Luckily Roxas only had two small bruises. I was so relieved.
"This is all my fault!" I was holding an icepack to my head as I sat in a chair in the living room at my house; Roxas was sitting across from me. My mother had been called and she was going to come home as soon as she could.
"Roxas… I'm not mad at you." Roxas was looking at his hands like he had murdered someone.
"You should be!" He looked at me. I could see the tears in his eyes. It looked like it affected him more than it was me.
I stood up and set down my icepack. I walked over to him and sat down beside him. I took his hand and intertwined fingers with him. He looked over at me, trying to keep his composure.
"Roxas… I am so happy that you weren't hurt badly. I worried that you were hurt. I was afraid I would lose my memory and forget you. You don't know how happy I was when I knew you were fine. Looking back I'm glad I had the pain instead of you."
He softly pulled me in to a hug, being careful of my head injury. I sighed as I took in his scent that seemed like years the last time I had inhaled it. I pulled myself away slightly and lifted my head to kiss him.
Roxas's kiss was frantic and needy. I couldn't help but smile at how scared he still was of losing me. My free hand ran through his hair and gripped the blonde locks to pull him closer; he did the same with my waist.
We pulled away when he needed air. I was disappointed that Roxas thought I was too injured for tongue. But Roxas still held me in a sweet embrace.
"Don't ever scare me like that again, Zexion. I cried in front of everyone." His hand ran soothingly up and down my back.
"And don't ever do something that stupid again. He could have damaged that beautiful face." I blushed at my own words. I didn't know how those words came out, but I didn't really care at the moment.
