Ring ring! Ring ring! Ring ring ring ring-
"Alright, alright, I'm getting it!" Roxas muttered, standing up to answer the phone. He hadn't caught much sleep last night, due to the wind howling eerily through the trees outside. So naturally, having to come to the school at 7:30 in the morning made him more than a little grumpy.
"Hello, this is R-"
"Good morning, Roxas."
The blonde immediately frowned. Xemnas never called him, ever. But he was sure he had heard the empty, cold voice over the phone.
"Oh, Mr. Xemnas. What can I do for you?" Roxas asked, faking being cheerful.
"It has come to our attention that you are in a rather…special relationship with one of the students. Axel, is it not?"
Roxas couldn't answer for a second. "Oh, well-"
"It would be most unfortunate if we had to let you go, Roxas. You are a valuable teacher here, you know." There was a frigid tone of sarcasm, and an implied connection to what Xemnas had said before.
"Yes, I understand." Roxas stammered, shocked. He hadn't thought about that at all.
"Good. Well then, I'll let you get back to work. Goodbye."
Roxas felt even more tired now, hazy, like the world was far away. He hung the phone up with a numb feeling.
"Hey, teacher."
Roxas gasped as someone spoke, before realizing that it was Axel.
Quick, tell him before he grabs you!
"Axel. There's something I have to tell you." Roxas tried to rush as the redhead backed him into the wall. Roxas barely noticed as his back banged into it.
"Really?" Unfortunately, Axel didn't seem to care at the moment.
"I was just talking to Xe-"The redhead didn't even give him the chance to finish saying the name. But this was exactly what Roxas had to talk to him about!
Axel moved his lips distractingly, attempting to pry open Roxas's mouth with his tongue. The blonde turned his head away quickly, blue eyes wide, and struggled to reorganize his thoughts.
"I'm trying to tell you something important!" Roxas ground out, while Axel reattached his lips to Roxas's neck.
"Wait…!" The teacher put all of the effort he had left into getting Axel's attention, but his efforts were in vain.
Axel moved Roxas's shirt away to give himself better access, ignoring the blonde's words.
"Axel!" Roxas shouted out; the cry caused by both impatience and the fact that Axel had just bitten down hard on his collarbone.
Finally deciding to listen, Axel drew back. He stared at Roxas expectantly, urging him to hurry as the teacher composed himself.
"Xemnas just told me that he knows about us." Roxas began, but was cut off.
"I don't give a shit about what that geezer thinks." Scathingly, a disrespectful yet honest remark.
"Maybe not, but he also said that if it continues, I could lose my job. So at least try to control yourself?" Roxas begged the redhead imploringly.
Axel looked away, his expression dark, but otherwise unreadable.
"How many months?"
"Huh?" Roxas blinked at the question, the words not quite processing.
'How many months 'til graduation?" Axel repeated, still not facing Roxas.
"Um…it's November now, so…eight." Sighing, Roxas removed Axel's hands from his shoulders.
Axel let him without complaint, and then burst out, "Eight fucking months?" Green eyes narrowed dangerously. "Xemnas's life is gonna be a living hell, starting now."
And in that moment, Roxas felt truly, deeply sorry for the principal of Twilight High School.

Can you see why I was looking forward to this chapter? I was also dreading it, mostly because, as you can see, I suck at writing make-out scenes. You know why it took this long? I kept rewriting it, over and over again. I still don't like the way it turned out.
Well, I can't help it if fluff is my specialty, not heavy kissing. X3
So, now it's Xemnas vs Axel. Who do you think will win? XD
Oh, and lots of you think that Prank Calls is unfinished. I agree, completely. But I probably won't do anything else with it. I didn't really want to write it in the first place, and I just can't get a feel for it now.
And SoRiku fans, I'm writing one right now. 8D Don't know when it'll be finished, though. :(
See you *REVIEWPLEASE* next time! ^.^ Don't you just love subliminal messaging?
