A/N: Hiya!!! Thank you so much for all those lovely lovely reviews!!! It was really nice to see people still read this!!! So anyway, this chapter's a little...off. I don't know why but it's also just my opinion. Just don't kill me if it sucks!!! -goes to hide-
Axel's POV
Zexion literally ripped my arm out of my socket to drag me in here (okay well…maybe I exaggerate a little?). "Here" being the library. I loathed the library. And no it was not because of my slightly lower I.Q., according to Zexion. It was the fact that…well, reading just wasn't fun. Boring as hell actually. Why read it when if you have enough drive, you can do it?
Anyway, off topic.
He dragged me in here to talk. About what, I have no idea. We hadn't gotten that far yet. We were still in the "Axel will bitch for all he's worth while Zexy calmly waits him out" phase.
"Are you finished yet?" He asked, calmly and unfazed by my last comment about bossy bookworms.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever…" I mumbled. He just smirked and headed off down one of the rows. I had really no choice but to follow if I ever wanted to get out of here. "Alright, why the hell'd you drag me in here? You know I hate this place…"
"Because you have a key to your room." …Huh? He hadn't stopped moving…where the heck is he going?
"That and as much as I'd love to wake up a homicidal blonde, I'd prefer you do it. You two seem to tolerate each other well enough." What is he blabbering on about?! He stopped and pointed to the next row over. I decided to humor him…I looked.
Oh.
That's what he meant by homicidal blonde…hi Roxy…
"The librarian found him bout two hours ago." …Why am I here again? And for that thought (he can read minds dammit…) he hit me over the head. Damn little…
"You're here because she couldn't get him to wake up. And this place is closing in a few minutes. As his roommate, you either wake him up or carry him out." I groaned.
"Couldn't you get Cloud? Or hell, even Riku?"
"Cloud's busy. Riku's busy." And with that he turned and walked off. Shit…Well…I could always just leave him there…he'll wake up eventually if the librarian keeps ragging in his ear…not that I know from experience or anything.
But…I looked at him again. He wasn't having a heart attack this time, even though it looked like his ear buds had fallen out awhile ago…He looked…comfortable. More so than I'd ever seen.
You know…he looked really, really cut-normal. Let's go with normal. I sighed and wrapped my arm around his shoulder and my other one under his knees. If that nagging librarian couldn't wake him up I wasn't gonna try…
Damn he was light.
I glanced down at him. His cheek was resting against my chest and he hadn't even fluttered an eyelash when I moved him…
Did my heart just speed up?
Roxas' POV
…Why was I moving? Last time I checked, libraries don't move…
I felt a steady beat under my hand, which is probably when I noticed how warm it was. Much warmer than it was when I fell asleep that's for sure. It felt…nice…I let my body relax against it…
Wait…
I cracked my eyes slightly…and got an eyeful of shirt. A gray shirt at that. Which made me remember…didn't Axel put one on the morning? Ah shit…"A-Axel? What the hell are you doing?" I heard my voice crack…I hate being tired…
"Zexy told me to get you out of the library. They were closing and you wouldn't wake up. Now…could you let go of my shirt, that kinda hurts…" I released my fingers…which had accidentally locked onto him, digging into his chest. Oospie…
"Oh…" And even though I was obviously awake…he was still carrying me…
"Um…Axel? Could ya let me down?" I glanced up to see him pale slightly.
"Uh…heh…your knee feel okay? I kinda…tripped and hit it against the corner of a wall…Pretty hard too…" I must've given him a weird look because he stopped. "Guess not as hard as I thought…" With that he set me down.
I felt a twinge…that's bout it. "Um…thanks I guess…" He just shrugged.
"Thank Zexy. He found you and came and got me." And with that…he walked away. I don't know why it bugged me but…the look he flashed at me before he did made me slightly uneasy…for the rest of the goddamn day…bastard.
Axel's POV
I had hit his knee hard man. I had heard it crack. Loudly. Let's put it this way, if it had been me, I would have been limping for the next two days…He had barely flinched. I mean it's not like I meant to hit it…I just sorta tripped, like I told him. And I so blame Demyx.
Why? Well maybe it was because he tackled me from behind, therefore causing me to trip and hit the wall. How he missed that I was carrying someone is beyond me.
…And why hadn't Roxas murdered me when he woke up? I had felt him tense, relax, and then claw the heck out of my chest. But no death threats. Hell, he'd even said thank you. Definitely not what I expected…
And I honestly don't think he noticed but…when he was relaxed, he smiled. Damn smiled.
No point in denying it is there? If my heart had been beating harder than normal before…it had pulled a Roadrunner on me at that smile. Again, thankfully I don't think he noticed…
What the hell?! Just thinking about it got my heart going again…
Damn Riku…
"You okay there Axel? Ya look a little shaky…" …I'll bet the fist in his face didn't feel like that. He damn deserved it…I hate him when he's gloating.
"Ow! What the hell man?!" I glanced at him, smirking.
"Serves you right bastard." He looked at me…and laughed. Yes our friendship is screwed up. Why do you ask?
"So what were you doing anyway?" We had just started walking.
"Zexion dragged me to the library," I shrugged, "Roxas had fallen asleep and Zexion didn't wanna wake him up. So he dragged my ass over there to get him out." Riku eyed me for a moment. I could practically hear the rusted gears in his head finally start moving. On what, I don't know.
He slowly smirked after a moment. "…what's with you?" He just shrugged and continued walking.
…
Asshole. I hate it when he does that…
And to show that hatred I promptly kicked him in the small of the back, smirking at the surprised squawk as he fell and continued on my merry way. And despite his very loud indignant cursing, he followed me after a moment, his normally perfectly straight silver hair (his pretty boy hair if you asked me) currently still thrown out of place from his sudden southward trip.
"So how'd your date go?"
"…date?"
"With Sora?" I sidestepped the swipe at my knees. "Well that's what it was if you ask me." I smirked at him. He just blushed faintly, that's right, stoic calm, prett-enough-for-a-chick boy blushed.
"It was fine."
"Let me guess…kid's oblivious?" He struck me as a very easy going kid…a little too easy going but hey, who am I too judge?
"Thank god for that…"
"You know Roxas isn't though." He cringed, I laughed. "Sucks for you man." He mumbled something under his breath. "What was that?"
"At least I'm falling for the gentle one." I stopped, eyeing him. What the hell was that supposed to mean? He glanced over his shoulder, shaking his head, giving me that goddamned smirk again.
"You'll figure it out Axel."
…
I sighed but followed him anyway. Why does everyone know what's going besides me?
