Chapter 8- Like Hell it Wasn't.
"Roxy!" Axel whined, "Don't be like that, you know I'm sorry. Please stop ignoring me."
"No. I don't know you're sorry, I will not stop ignoring you, and don't call me that." I had my face in my palm and was trying not to strangle Axel. I had spent the day ignoring Axel and his attempts to get me to speak to him. However, it was now lunchtime and the nagging had pretty much given me a migraine much worse than the one I woke up with.
"It wasn't my fault that you slept on the floor."
"Axel. You left me hog tied on the floor in my swimming trunks!" This was true. I had woken up as I'd fallen asleep. That is, still hog-tied on the floor in my bathing suit. Not only was I sore and humiliated, but I had the worst headache imaginable, which was either from the sugar I had or the fact that I was pretty much kissing the sandy wood floor all night.
"You looked so peaceful, I couldn't move you."
"Like hell you couldn't!"
"Will you guys stop the lover's spat already?" Zexion interjected.
"Lovers!?" I spat.
"Don't hide it, Roxas." Axel said silky, completely recovered from his earlier whiny state. He grabbed my chin between his thumb and pointer finger and brought my face close to him looking deeply into my eyes.
"Ah…" I couldn't say anything. OH MY GOD!! HIS FACE IS WAY TOO CLOSE!! I didn't really mind, but everyone in the vicinity was giving us an odd look. "Get the hell off me." I growled trying to suppress the blush creeping up on to my face. I smacked his hand away receiving a hurt look. "And don't think this means I'm talking to you again."
"What? Woxy~ pwease! Don't be like that, baby!" I folded my arms over my chest and turned away from Axel's pleading.
"Hey Zexion, can two guys even be lovers?" William asked. You're a very sheltered child, aren't you?
"Yes, two guys can be lovers." Zexion answered.
"Can they get married?" Demyx asked with stars in his eyes and a small blush on his cheeks. It was rather adorable in my opinion but Zexion was seemly stunned by the question.
"Y-yes here on Destiny Island they can but other places have not approved it yet…" Demyx's features lighted up as Zexion said this.
"Then can we get married when I'm older!?" Demyx tugged on Zexion's shirt, his eyes still sparkling. Zexion's face was one of pure terror. Axel and I had forgotten our issues to gape at Demyx and Zexion. However, all of the rest of the campers didn't seem to understand the full extent of the statement.
"Wha…" Zexion stuttered. His face turned a bright red color. Could this mean that ol' Zexion has a soft spot for cute little Demyx? Zexion couldn't find any words.
"Can we?" Demyx inquired, his smile faded a bit.
"Ah….lets see if you feel the same way when you're older…" He finally answered his face still red as a beat.
"I wanna be the flower girl!" Sora yelled, his hand shooting into the air. I glanced over at Sora; he had excitement written all over his face.
"I'm sure you'd look great in a pretty pink dress, Sora." I said snidely. To my surprise Riku's face turned as red as Zexion's, most likely at the thought of Sora in a dress. He did a terrible job at covering up the blush now adorning his face. Axel spotted this, his smirk returning.
"So Riku, are you gonna be the ring bearer so you can walk right after Sora in his pretty pink dress?" Axel said malevolently, slinging his right arm over Riku's shoulder. Riku proceeded to turn an even brighter shade of red.
"I-I don't know what you're talking about…" He replied, turning away from Axel's all knowing gaze.
"Oh, I'm sure you do, Riku."
"Hey, annoying thing, stop teasing Riku." I stated as I took a bite of a chip.
"Roxas~," Axel whined, totally forgetting about Riku, "just look at me please!" Axel you're so pathetic. I returned my attention to an extremely happy Demyx, who happened to be latched on to a very humiliated looking Zexion. Sora was peering past me and Axel to get a glimpse of Riku, who was now hiding behind Axel, trying to look as normal as possible. The rest of the boys who were not currently in a love crisis were discussing the finer points of bliztball, and tag too, for some reason.
"Excuse me." A serious voice came from behind my head. I glanced over to see Saix waiting patiently.
"Umm, yes, what is it?" I was the one designated to talk to the managers when they wanted a word.
"We were wondering if your cabins would like to participate in the 'test of courage' tonight at 10pm at the old abandoned house on the west side of camp." Saix said in a very official voice.
"Well…" I pause to see what everyone thought. They were all nodding their heads quickly, that is except for Axel. He was busy drawing circles on the table top with his finger. "Sure, we'd love to go."
"Alright." Saix gave a nod and walked off. I returned to my lunch and my chips, I was nibbling away at a chip. Zexion had freed his arm from Demyx so he could go throw away his trash. Demyx was watching him longingly wanting him to be back as soon as possible.
"So Demyx, you seriously wanna marry Zexion?" Axel said, breaking away from his depression.
"Yup," He replied. Both Sora and Riku were intent on the conversation, sipping away at their drinks. "I love him, so why not marry him?" Demyx concluded. A pleasant smile creased Axel's lips.
"Hope you two are happy." He was facing Demyx, but he looked at me for a second as he said this. And why do you look at me when you say such a thing?! "And back to what I was doing before…ROXY!! Please talk to me! Or at least look at me." I chuckled; changing tact quickly was one of Axel's specialties.
"Can we go so I can have time to read before we have to run around in the dark?" Zexion said returning from his trip to the trash can.
"I second that opinion." Adam said as if we have bored.
"aaaaannnnndd away we go!" Jeremy jumped up and ran outside the meeting hall with Tidus, William, Wakka, and Josh at his heels. I followed them with everyone else, Axel still trying to get me to talk to him. Upon returning to the cabins, most of the campers were playing cards on the ground. Zexion and Adam were reading and Demyx was peering over Zexion's shoulder to see what he was reading. My head hurts. I went get some peace and quiet, I decided to go sit by Josephine; he at least wouldn't annoy me.
"Hey Josephine." I said sitting down leaning on the trunk, "What's up with you these days?" Josephine being the stick that he was didn't respond, leaving me in an awkward silence. Like hell a tree would talk to me. I let out sigh and closed my eyes. I drifted off after a while, warm and comfortable in the sunshine. But after what seemed like only a minute I was rudely awakened.
"Roxas~~," my eye twitched, "wake up. Oh, sleeping beauty whilst thou open thy eyes for me?"
"I'm going to slap you."
"Alas! She awakens from the eternal slumber!"
"Seriously. What the hell do you want?" I said rubbing sleep out of my eyes. Axel was hovering over me, his face in shadow from the sun behind his head.
"Ha! You are speaking to me again; I knew it wouldn't last long!" Axel said triumphantly, assuming a victorious pose with his hands on his hips.
"Sure, but after you explain why you've woken me up the silence treatment starts again."
"Come on~." Axel whined slumping form his pose.
"Explain. Now." I growled.
"Okay, okay. Well, I just wanted to tell you its dinner. Not that it's easy to tell still pretty light out. Anyways, thought you would want to get food seeing as we are going to be running around all night."
"Okay. Now leave me alone." I paused at Axel's worried look, "I'm fine, I'll catch up in a bit."
"Alright!" He said happily turning to leave me with Josephine.
"Oh and Axel, I'm going to ignore you again now."
"What?! ROXY! Please, hear me out!"
"Don't call me that." I said, walking past him towards dinner.
"It wasn't my fault!"
Like hell it wasn't.
