Axel left the next morning. I didn't really know what to do, so I just kinda sat on the couch and stared at the wall the whole day. I didn't even go to the train station with them. Eventually, Sora had to drag me into my room, and decided to pass out in my bed because he was worried about me.
For the next two weeks, I didn't really do much. Sora dragged me around with him when he went out with Kairi and Riku, and Kairi kept trying to flirt with me but... after blankly staring at her she gave up. Axel would have made jokes and called me a zombie, and shoved my shoulder.
I guess...I just really missed him, you know?
"Roxas!"
Roxas opened one indigo eye, the other covered by his arm. "What?"
"You got a letter!"
Roxas felt his eyes widen. He took the beige envelope out of Sora's hands and scanned it. The same, chicken-scratch that he'd come to love over the years. He smiled softly, which faded quickly when he glanced up at Sora, still hovering over him. "What do you want? Leave me be," he said, slamming his hand into his twin's forehead.
"I wanted to see it, too."
"Well... we'll see," he said, with narrowed eyes and opened the envelope. There were two separately folded papers. One had SORA written in what looked suspiciously like red crayon, and the other had Roxy written neatly in black ink. Roxas tossed Sora's at his face and unfolded his own.
"Hey, Sora,
Your brother must not have found that letter, he never called. Mehhhh. Anyways, Demyx says hi. We got home and found a kitten in our apartment, so he's been going crazy since. Apparently Zexion got lonely or something, though he claims it was Larxene's idea of a prank. Whatevs. Anyways, write me back, yo!
-Axel
Roxas frowned, and snatched the letter in Sora's hands away before the brunette managed to unfold it properly-Axel had some complex folding skills with his letters, they were in the shape of squares so they fit side-by-side in the envelope. "Axel's a dumbass and mislabeled them. This is yours." He explained as he handed the letter he'd just read to his twin.
Dear Roxas,
I wrote you a letter before I left, it's on your desk. I dunno if you read it and just ignored it, but uh, if not, go read it. If you did just ignore it...why? I didn't do anything wrong, did I? I'm sorry if I did... I miss you. Love, Axel Ethons.
Roxas frowned, and hopped off his bed and walked over to his desk. Sure enough, there was a piece of lined paper folded into a ninja star. Roxas could see the pen marks on the other side of the paper, red ink. He grinned, and carefully unfolded the paper.
Roxxxxxxxyyyyyyyyyyyy!
If you're reading this, me and Demyx already ran the fuck away. Srsly. Uh, no...anyways, You were kinda, asleep when we left, and we didn't really feel right waking you up after what happened yesterday, so...yeah. We just kinda left you. But don't be mad or anything, okay?
Uh, anyways, call me, buddy. I know for a fact that my number is in your phone. Unless you delete it after I leave... which you shouldn't because I'm totally sexy and you love me. Uh.
Ciao!
PS. Look in the bottom of your sock drawer, buddie. :)
Roxas stared. How had this been here the entire time? God, did he feel stupid now. He sighed, and waved away the guilt, walking over to his sock drawer. He needed socks anyways.
And, at the bottom of the drawer was an envelope. Roxas took it out and opened it. Inside was two train tickets, and a slip of paper that said: Okay, me and Demy visited you, now you visit us! Only fair, right? Bring Sora or your mom or Cloud or whoever, as long as they're down with being stuck on a tour bus with a bunch of stinking guys for a month. Oh, and Larxene. She smells like flowers though, cause her boyfriend is all flowery and shit. Uh. Anyways. Get to it, bitch!
Roxas grinned. He glanced at the tickets. They left...tomorrow. Roxas panicked and flailed. "SORA!"
"What?"
"We're going on tour for a month! Pack your bags, fat ass!" He said, grabbing a suitcase and stuffing the entire contents of his dresser (skinny jeans, t-shirts, socks, boxers) into it. He flailed and threw his brother out of his room, panicking.
That form of panicking was lovingly named the "Roxas is packing" dance, which alarmed Yuna and Cloud.
"Where do you think you two are going?"
"Axel."
"Uh...no."
Roxas swung around to look at his mother, eyes wide. "Yes."
"Rox...you can't just up and leave and take Sora."
"Why not?"
"Does he even want to go?"
"Sure he does!"
"No I don't!" It was a commonly known fact that Sora got extremely carsick.
Roxas's face melted into a pout. "B-but who am I gonna take?"
"Why don't you ask Xion?"
Roxas blanched. He hadn't spoken to Xion since she broke up with him. "I, uh..."
"Xion won't go. She's got to work," Cloud spoke up. "Why don't you just go yourself?"
"B-but there's two tickets."
"Well...I hear that Aerith was meaning to go to Radiant Garden," Yuna said. "She doesn't have to go on tour with you, does she?"
"Well...no, but how's she gonna get back?"
"How are you going to get back?" Cloud asked, eyes narrowed.
"Uh. I don't know... I think I'll probably just leave when they come to Twilight Town."
Cloud nodded, but his eyes still shown skeptically.
Soon after, the two left and Roxas went back into his state of panic, looking for his phone. Which, for some reason, was in a box filled with random crap under his bed. He hadn't even known about said box until then, but he shrugged it off and kicked the box under his bed, scrolling through his contacts. He found Axel (under sexy) and pressed call.
"Hel-dammit, Demyx, get off me-lo?"
"Hey, Sexy," Roxas said, grinning.
"Hey yourself, cutie," Axel said, chuckling. Roxas heard a loud crash come from the other end. "Damn it, Demyx! What the fuck do you want?" "Why don't you love me?"
Roxas snickered. Classic Demyx.
"Anyways, ignoring the freak, what's up Roxy? You never called."
"I, uh, didn't find the ninja star on my desk until I got your letter in the mail today...which, by the way, you wrote the wrong names on the letters."
Axel cursed. "Er, sorry 'bout that... so...are you gonna come down here?"
Roxas grinned. "Yeah, I am. I'll be there tomorrow. No one will come with me though, is it okay if I give the other ticket to my mum's friend so she can visit her friends there?"
"Yeah, sure, Rox. Sora won't go with you?"
"Nah, he gets carsick real bad," Roxas said, frowning. "He can't even ride in a car without feeling sick."
"That's lame," Axel said, sighing. "Well, I gotta go. Demyx just got mauled by a puma."
"Oh...alright. Well, I'll see you tomorrow night, then," Roxas said, confused.
"Bye Roxy!" Axel said, and hung up.
Roxas sighed, closing his phone as he laid back on the bed. Tomorrow, he would be on his way to a place he'd never been. To see someone he still barely knew. And, of course, Demyx, but still. He didn't know the other two at all.
Radiant Garden is nearly twice the size of Twilight town. Axel and Demyx would be the only two he could depend on...he'd be so far from everyone he'd known all his life.
Well, except Demyx.
Roxas shook his head. He should go tell Yuffie he was leaving, so she wouldn't think pirates stole him like last time he went on vacation.
He knocked on the door before entering. Last time he'd entered without knocking, he'd walked in on his brother getting a blow job from Leon. That was something he could live without ever seeing again, he'd decided, and vowed to knock first.
"Roxas?"
Roxas froze. "Xion," he glanced at the couch. Xion was sitting there, watching food network with a blond girl. She always did have a thing for blonds with blue eyes. He plastered a smile on his face. "Where's your mom?"
Xion glanced around. "MOM! Roxas brought you a cute boy!"
Yuffie scrambled out from-the vents? Roxas didn't want to know-and scowled. "Liar!"
"Er, sorry, Yuffie. No cute boys today," he said, shrugging. "I just came here to tell you I'm...uh, going on vacation for a month, so you don't do what you did last time I left."
Yuffie blinked. "Oh. Alright, Roxas. Does Cloudie know?"
"Yeah...he already knows," he said, fidgeting. "Uh, so... bye. Nice to see you, Nami, Xion."
"Bye Roxas! Have fun on your trip," Xion said, face filled with confusion.
"Where are you going, Roxas?" Namine asked, eyes concerned.
"Um...Radiant Garden..." He said, grinning nervously.
"Oh, you're visiting Demyx?"
"Uh, yeah..."
"Say hello to Larxene for me," Namine said, smiling sweetly. "She's not so bad."
Roxas blinked. "How do you know her?"
"She's my sister, Roxas. Did you forget?"
"Oh," he said, shrugging. "Guess it slipped my mind."
She smiled. "Have fun on your trip, Roxas."
"Uh...yeah, I will. Thanks, Nami." Roxas said, grinning as he went through the door.
A/N: Oh jeebus. I'm sorry for the sudden lack of updates for a few days. XD You forgive me, right? Well if you don't, sucks for you I guess.
Updates may be a little slower, 'cause yeah. Two other stories up and running to write. XD
Dancers and Dreamers should be updated tonight/tomorrow. As for Olive Juice...yeah I dunno. Haven't gotten around to starting the second one. I'm lazy, don't shoot me.
Thanks for reading!
