Summary: As a first-year freshman in highschool trying out and making the soccer team was a huge accomplishment for Roxas, but now their school is faced by their all-time rivals, but this time instead of on the field, this time they're in the school!
Kiaxshe: Today's Disclaimer is brought to you by KeyO's, because everyone knows that hitting people/Nobodies/Heartless it the right thing to do when you're a keyblade master. ;D Anyways, their representative, Riku, is here to give us it.
Riku: Okay for the record, I do not work for this KeyO's company thingy, you're just saying that to get attention aren't you?
Kiesha: -from far off- Just say the damn line you amateur!
Riku: -glares- Kiesha and Kiaxshe do not own Kingdom Hearts -Thank g- - Shut up Zexion. Nor do they own anything else in this stupid chapter of Goal!. ...that's it, well now I'm blowing this popsicle stand, I'll be in the break room drinking cheap overpriced coffee if you need me.
Kiaxshe: ...but this is a film studio...anyway, we now give you our chapter of Goal!. We apologize for taking so long, but Kiesha was having a mind blank (again) and other random school stuff came up. Again we apologize. Now for a short warning.
We thank you for joining us today in chapter 10 of Goal!. We please ask you to please not lean in too close to the computer screen as you might go temporarily and or fully blind by doing so because of the un-needed and sometimes utterly needed suspense in this chapter. Because how then will you enjoy this wonderful yaoi-ishful fic? Well its not as if we can hire somebody to read it for you, we'd be wasting our allowance! No offense. Anyway, we are not held responsible for any medical charges. Now sit back and enjoy today's chapter. -
Day Three: Inter-city Tournament
Day three. Just four more days left until he could go back to just living with the normal things in his life. 1, his friends and 2, soccer. Not to say that Axel, Demyx and Zexion weren't his friends. He just missed his other friends a bit, that was all. Plus Roxas was getting a little nervous about the Study Session with Axel. A few times he'd almost said date and it made him wonder what in the world his mind was doing, not to mention the stupid conscience voice inside his head.
School went about as usual, boring classes, well except for Chemistry(if peeps are wondering why Axel and Roxas are in Chemistry, well they're very smart and are up a year in science, but apparently fail at everything else. x3 That's all.) in which the redhead had accidentally set the beaker full of stuff on fire by grabbing a vile of the wrong substance. Frankly, it was just plain funny. Especially what with the teacher trying to find the fire extinguisher when it was right behind his desk.
It was lunch now and saying his usual, well usual as of two days ago, 'see ya' to Sora and Riku who he'd met up with in the hallway and walked over to the Hollow Bastion students' table after grabbing some of the cafeteria food, which seemed alive strangely. Then again, it usually did so it should be that strange, nor surprising.
Seeing Axel and Larxene there he sat down across from the redhead, but the very tempermental blonde girl was sitting next to him. "Hey." he said trying to start a conversation. The table seemed a bit dead.
"Hello. You seen Zexion around?" It was Larxene who asked and Roxas was surprised a bit, though he shouldn't have. Probably because she was damn scary when she wanted to be, even Zexion seemed was afraid of her and when Zexion seems afraid of something, its best to try and avoid that something.
"No. Why?" he replied after a few seconds.
"I need to talk to him. Somethin' important coming up." she explained although vaguely and added sharply, "I'm going to go find him. I'll talk to you later Axel." she gave him a knowing look and left the table with her half-eaten food on her lunch tray.
"What did she mean by "I'll talk to you later Axel"." Roxas asked giving some air quotes.
"That she's gonna talk to be later." Axel said, "Why, did you think it was something else?" He smiled a bit and leaned his head on his hand a bit. "Is Roxy jealous?"
"W-what?! Hell no! What ever gave you that idea you freaking pervert?! And my name is Roxas, not "Roxy"." he snarled at Axel his cobalt eyes flashing. Axel only laughed at him.
"Oh come off it, I'm only poking fun. But you DO seem a bit flustered on the matter." he was still at his fun poking the nerve that Roxas was sure was one of his last ones.
"I am not FLUSTERED. Girls get "flustered" and I am not a girl. Pure testorone right here." he said crossing his arms grinding his back teeth a bit.
"Whatever you say." Axel said leaning back a bit before taking a bite of his food. "Whatever you say."
"Oh yeah, are you going to drive us to your house for the study session? Or are we going to walk there or take a bus?" Roxas said wanting to change the subject.
"I'll drive. Its easier and stuff. Besides, I have a strange nagging that I'm forgetting something..., not sure what though. Its probably unimportant anyway." Axel said waving his hand a bit on the words.
"Alright then...see you after school." Roxas said before taking his own tray and leaving the table.
The events that happened after lunch were pretty much the same, boring stuff that happened in school, school stuff. It was the end of the day now(Yay for time skips! x3 Wewt!) and Roxas was idly sitting on the steps of the school waiting for Axel. Sora had decided to stay back with him since he'd taken his bike that day and plus his parents were working late today on a project down at the workplace(1).
"So today's your Study Date with Axel, huh?" Sora said slyly a mischevious grin on his face.
"Session. Ses-sion. Idiot." Roxas growled playfully hitting his best friend upside the head lightly.
"Alright, alright. Session." Sora said with a laugh. "So where is he then?"
"He texted me. Which is weird since I never gave him my- ...you did it didn't you?" he said rounding on his friend.
"I'm innocent! I swear!" Sora said putting up his arms defensively.
"Then who did?" Roxas demanded.
"Euhh...Kairi?" the brunette grinned sheepishly as Roxas went wide-eyed.
"Kairi? Why would she do tha-" the blonde was cut off.
"Hey Roxas!" Axel. He had once again grabbed that spot on the blonde's shoulder making him jump with surprise and lash out with his other hand at Axel who caught the hand. "You seriously gotta stop doing that Roxas. One of these days you're seriously gonna land a punch!" he laughed, but the point stuck.
"Sorry..." Roxas sullenly apologized, but Axel thought nothing of it from the look on his face.
"Its fine, you ready to go?" he asked picking up his own backpack that had fallen to the ground when he'd blocked Roxas's punch.
The blonde nodded and waved goodbye to Sora as both teenagers moved towards where Axel's car was parked. After getting in and applying all the usual safety procautions and stuff they were soon on the Freeway. It was during this time that Roxas asked over the blasting music, "So why were you late?"
"Forgot my math book and Government homework." Axel said turning the radio down a bit as he pulled onto a street off the Freeway and into the parking lot of an apartment building. "Alright, we're here." he announced after both had gone up the elevator to the third floor and down the hall to room number 104(2). Unlocking the door Roxas stepped inside first, and found Axel's apartment to be pretty normal which was a good thing, he wasn't sure why he was expecting it to be different. Just a feeling.
Checking his watch Roxas announced, "Its about three o'clock now. We'd better get started if we're gonna study till five when your...brother Reno? gets back."
"Reno's my older cousin. House problems and stuff. Mom's still dealing with house issues, just some reboarding of the house due to mold, while dad's gone off to Montana for work purposes. Don't ask me what's in Montana, I just don't know.(No offense to Montanians! xP) I wanted to stay with Reno and stuff 'cause its close to school and things. Here, we can study up in my room. Its upstairs."(They live on the top floor so yeah, they get an upstairs. I've been in an apartment building like that so I have proof! x3)
Following the redhead to his room both went inside. Roxas found it strangely much like his own except for probably a ton more posters and probably cleaner, except for the closet which seemed to have random items thrown into it. Axel took a spot on the floor while Roxas took the bed, he was getting uncomfortable on the floor after awhile of being there.
Four-thrity came around when a huge pounding on the door and unlocking noise came from downstairs. It was Axel who heard it first and sprang up from his laying position on the floor just as Roxas was repeating the formula of an algebraic expression. He then remembered what had been planned for today, they were coming to visit. Damn bastards.
"Axel! Wha-" he was cut off by Axel's hand on his mouth. "What's going on?" he managed to say even though the hand was still there, though the sound of it was very muffled yet Axel was still able to make it out.
"I never should have gotten you into this." he growled," Me and my stupid brain forgot they were coming today."
"Who is?" Roxas said removing the hand.
"Oh Axel?" came a voice from downstairs. "Its time we had our annual chat. Come on down!"
"Fuck." he breathed and looked around a bit as footsteps could be heard coming up the stairs. "Uhhh, here. I need you to stay in my closet, got it? Don't ask why, please just do it for me this once Roxas. Alright?"
Roxas said nothing, but just stood there confused until Axel literally shoved him in there closing the door and muttering a "Sorry Roxas" before shuffling back and stashing the blonde's math notebook and textbook under his bed safely.
The blonde couldn't see a thing from inside the closet, but could hear very well of the situation. From what he heard the door had slammed open and the shuffling of footsteps, more than one pair had come into the room it was then he heard a voice.
"So Axel? Why do you always decline our invitaions? Twilight Town could use a fabulous striker like you on our team. Winning the Inter-city Tournament would be a breeze! Why do you stay here with these losers?" came a voice, obviously a male.
"Shut up Seifer, seriously why in all of hell would I want to join up with you guys? Just because I live near the border of Hollow Bastion and Twilight Town? Is that it?" Axel snarled a bit at this Seifer person.
"You were originally Twilight Town Axel. Don't you feel at least some loyalty to your hometown?" Seifer asked again and was followed up by another male and a female.
"Yeah Seifer, tell 'em, y'know?" came the male's voice.
Then the female's. "Betrayal."
"Hollow Bastion is my hometown." Axel growled almost unaudiably athough Roxas could hear him, for his position was next to said closet that the blonde teenager was still inside.
"I suppose you and your worthless soccer team are entering again in the Inter-city Tournament aren't you?" Seifer asked again, there was no answer from Axel. "What, you're telling me you chicken wusses are afraid? How pathetic. Axel, you're on the wrong side. Maybe grounding your pathetic team into the grass will help change your mind. We'll see you at the tournament then. Goodbye Axel!" called Seifer as he and the other male and female's footsteps signaled that they'd left the room.
It was after a few minutes that the redhead sighed and said, "You can come out of the closet now."
Roxas made his way out of the very messy closet and looked Axel straight in his emerald green eyes although the redhead himself looked away. "Why didn't you want me there?" he asked cobalt eyes narrowed.
"Seifer would try and use you as leverage or soemthing. Or worse, try and get you on his team." Axel explained collapsing on his bed.
"Why in heck would he want to do that? I'd never do that! PHS is the only soccer team I'd ever be on right now!" Roxas said 'right now' only because if he ever moved again he'd probably have to change soccer teams too, and that would downright suck grapefruit.
"Heh, you have no idea. Does Paopu High even have any idea about the Inter-City Tournament?" Axel said raising an eyebrow at Roxas.
"No, but I know for sure we're entering!" Roxas said crossing his arms.
"As if you are! Do you want to be easy targets or what? You guys'd have no idea what you'd be getting yourselves into!" Axel said sharply and Roxas only smirked.
"You don't think we can do it? Is that it?" the blonde questioned.
"No, its not that! Its what happens outside the soccer field that I'm worried about!" Axel replied seriously, if Paopu High went into the Tournament, things were going to get rough. Really rough.
"We can manage." Roxas replied stubbornly. "I'll ask Riku about it. You can't change my mind Axel, we haven't had a Tournament in a long time! Its time we proved that PHS has an awesome soccer team too!"
"...I still don't agree with you. I'll never accept this Roxas, I'm letting you know this. I'd try anything to keep you guys out of it." Axel said then added, "And I will."
"Good luck pursuading Riku, he's a stubborn as a mule, maybe more. Yep, definitely more." Roxas said as he looked around for his math book and notebook as Axel pointed underneath the bed for him. Grabbing it he added, "Thanks."
"Maybe I should start on you first." he said slyly, "You haven't told Riku yet."
"Yeah, good luck with tha-" Roxas yet again surprised for the ten billionth time that day, or was it the eleven billionth? (Who knows, I'm not keeping track!) And was whipped around by Axel who was strangely closer than he should be. The blonde teenager hadn't heard him get up from his position on the bed, well there was that and Roxas had his back turned to the redhead.
"Axel, let go of meeeee?" Roxas's words were turned into a questioning sound as Axel leaned down so his face was next to the blonde's making said blonde turn a shake of light red of which he was completely unaware of.
"Fine, if I can't pursuade you through words, will actions help?" he asked before wrapping his lanky arms around the blonde pulling him into a tight hug.
It stayed like that for a minute and a half or so. Axel holding the other teen tightly while said teen was still wondering what the fuck was happening and why he felt the way he did.
'So what are your views on yaoi Roxas? I'm writing a fan-fiction entitled 'Roxas and Axel's Study Date' care to read it?' his conscience snickered at him forcing Roxas to break the hug in complete jerky motion.
"Sorry, it...uh...won't. I've gotta go now. Bye. My mom'll give me a ride home!" Roxas stammered before rushing down the stairs of Axel and Reno's apartment and out the door flipping out his cellphone and dialing his mother's number asking for a ride home which she immediately answered and responded to by picking up her son driving home.
Axel, meanwhile, was still in his room near the door grinning. "So I think he does feel something. Man, I don't know what that kid does, maybe its the eyes or somethin'." he laughed a bit, but then grimaced as Reno's voice came yelling from downstairs.
"I JUST SAW A CRAZED BLONDE KID RUNNING DOWN THE STREET TALKING WILDLY INTO HIS CELLPHONE. WHAT DID YOU DO THIS TIME?!"
Axel sighed and shaking his head clomped downstairs to face the interrogation his older cousin was sure to have for him.
A/N
(1) The workplace is a spot where most of the parents around Paopu High School do their work. They call it the workplace because so many different kinds of work are done there, mostly a slang term for teenagers.
(2) Can you figure out how I got this number? Seriously, take a guess! x3
Muahaha. I have finished this chapter finally! Sorry for the wait again. I feel terribly about it. )x Anyway, did you luuuurve this new chapter?
