Thank you jcthegirl for reviewing ^_^ And anyone else who I'm too lazy to go check for reviewing, if you did.
This is a halloween thing I wrote last year... A little early, but hey! Jcthegirl suggested more AkuRokuShi (JOY), so here's Axel and Xion bonding over tormenting our lovable blond angst bucket XD
"Oh Rox~as!" Axel called, a grin in his voice. "We're all ready! Come and show us your costume!" Roxas grumbled as his two "best friends", Axel and Xion, giggled like little girls outside his door. Xion, he could understand. She was a girl. But Axel, he was, what, 24? Seriously, how immature could you get? And making him do this? Some role model he was turning out to be…
"Come on, Roku-chan!" Xion giggled, knocking hard on the door. "Let us see your costume!" Roxas remained silent, his hand firmly on the doorknob, holding it shut in case they tried to barge in. He was hoping that if he pretended he wasn't here, they might give up and go without him.
"Roxas, if you don't let us in, I'll burn the door down." Axel threatened. Crap. That was always Axel's fallback. If you didn't do what he wanted, he'd burn such and such down. If you didn't listen to him, he'd light your hair on fire. A simple threat for a pyro to make; the problem was Axel was fully committed to these threats and had every intention of following them through. If Axel said he was going to burn the door down, then he definitely planned to burn the door down. Sighing heavily, Roxas twisted the knob and peeked out the crack. Axel and Xion stood there, huge grins on their faces.
"Don't be shy Roxas, we're all friends here." Axel laughed, motioning for him to step out. Hah. Yeah, right. "Friends" didn't make "friends" dress up in stupid costume and then force them to parade around in them. Not that Roxas would know. He didn't have anything else to compare to, but if he had to guess, he'd say that what Axel and Xion were doing was cruel and unusual.
Frowning, Roxas shoved the door open and stepped into the hall, doing his best to ignore Axel and Xion's snickering.
"I hate you." He muttered, glaring at the ground.
"I think it looks cute." Xion smiled, tugging on the black antennae. "Like a giant plushy." Roxas scowled, grabbing the antennae and pulling it away.
"I feel like an idiot." He grumbled. Axel thumped his back, grinning.
"Well Roxas, the good news is, you look like one too." He laughed, but Roxas only growled.
Roxas didn't know much about Halloween. The only things he did know, he'd learned from Axel, who had been more than eager to tell his two protégés about his favorite holiday. Axel wasn't a holiday person, according to himself, but he loved Halloween, solely because you got free candy, and an excuse to trump about in a goofy outfit and no could laugh at you for it. Well, unless you were wearing a costume like Roxas's… Roxas had told Axel –firmly –many times that he didn't want to do Halloween. He didn't want to go Trick-or-Treating, or dress up in a stupid costume and walk around town holding a plastic pumpkin. But Axel was persuasive. After whining, complaining, begging and groveling for a week, Roxas caved and agreed to go with him and Xion to Trick-or-Treat. And after begging, whining, moaning and groveling Non-stop for 10 freakin' hours, Axel and Xion managed to convince Roxas to let them pick his costume. Never again could he trust his friends with such a sacred task.
He was a Heartless. A giant, freakin' Heartless. And not even a cool one! A giant shadow Heartless, with big floppy antennae, clawed black mittens, and a huge plastic heart hanging around his neck. It was ironic, since he wouldn't even be here if it weren't for a Heartless, but most of all it looked ridiculous, and Roxas hated it.
"So, are we all ready?" Xion asked, staring at her reflection in on of the empty picture frames that hung in the halls and adjusting her hair. Into her short black hair, she'd weaved small cloth snakes, and she wore a long gray robe with a gold ringlet around her forehead. She caught Roxas staring quizzically at her, and smiled, tugging at a snake. "I'm Medusa. That snake woman who turns people to stone?" Roxas nodded like he knew what she was talking about, even though he hadn't a clue. Axel was wearing tattered, charred clothes and chains around his wrists and ankles, with ash smeared across his face and sprinkles through his hair. He looked a little eerie, creepier than Xion and him.
"What are you supposed to be?" He asked curiously, albeit bitterly. He wasn't going to let his so-called friends off the chain that easily. Axel grinned anyway, jangling his chains dramatically.
"A guy who died in a fire." Roxas nodded. He didn't understand Halloween very well, and he couldn't understand why people wanted so badly to run around dressed like dead people or animals. Or Heartless. Axel frowned, looking a bit uncomfortable. Roxas knew he hated silence, especially the awkward kind. "I thought it'd be funny, since I control fire. Ironic, y'know?" He shrugged, rubbing the back of his neck.
"It looks fine." Xion smiled. Roxas understood the costume, thought it made sense, but he didn't want to laugh about anything right now.
"Let's just go, alright?" He grumbled, heading toward the Grey Area.
"Fine. Be that way, Grumpy pants." Axel grumbled back, slumping his shoulders and doing his best impersonation of Roxas. "Oh, I hate the wooorld, and everyone in iiiit…" He moaned, making Xion giggle and coaxing a small smile from Roxas.
"Shut up." He gave Axel a shove, and as always, Axel grinned.
"Come on. Let's go get some candy!"
I do not believe in sexual AkuRokuShi ._. Just... No. Axel's 24. They're 14. Even though I like AkuShi, I'd never have them ... "Do it." It's just screwed up. I'm sorry, but it is.
You know how I said I had something Lea and Isaish? It's dead. I lost it in my mom's laptop ;-;
