Work in the café is usual today… that is, until afternoon. Sephiroth has become our everyday-morning customer, but he wasn't there this morning. I didn't think about it much.
I just finished taking an order when the door opened and the familiar tall silver-head figure entered the diner. I was going to greet Sephiroth but my actions halted in shock when I saw an even more familiar redhead figure following the silver-haired man, hands interlocked. What is Axel doing with Sephiroth, let alone holding hands with him?! When I realized that the red-haired man might have recognized me, I quickly turned around. Oh shit… From the lighted reflection at the bar counter I could tell Sephiroth was raising a hand, expecting me to show up. What should I do?? I want to find out what's between them and there's no way I could do that if I show up in front of Axel!! Luckily, maroon hair swayed passed in front of me.
"Kairi!!" I hissed quietly as I grabbed her arm. She seemed slightly startled but turned to me, "Hm? Sora? What's wrong?"
"Can you uh… take Sephiroth's orders for me? I need to go to the bathroom." I whispered, "And don't tell him that I'm here!" Her eyes darted across the shop and landed onto the tall silver-head and an almost equally tall redhead, "Um… okay, but…what's wrong?"
"Just go, pleeeease?" I almost whined, "If he tries to ask where I am, just cut him short with something, okay? Just make sure the redhead doesn't know my name! I'll explain to you later, alright?"
"Okay…" She shrugged and strolled casually over to Sephiroth to offer her service. Fortunately Sephiroth didn't seem to doubt my absence and just ordered. I nearly had to crawl back to the locker room; peeking from the door side I saw Kairi left their table as she placed the order paper onto the bar and Sephiroth resuming a conversation with my twin brother's fiancé. Maybe they're just talking about work…? Wait- Sephiroth's hands are-! T-They're creeping to…! They're resting on Axel's cheeks…wha-WHAT IS HE DOING?!
My mouth dropped.
I couldn't believe the sight before me. S-Sephiroth i-i-is…… KISSING AXEL!!
And as if that's not shocking enough……AXEL IS KISSING BACK!!
Suddenly a waist with two hands holding their hips blocked my view to the disgusting scene. I looked up and saw Kairi with her demanding expression, "Care to explain?"
"Oh yeah…" Remembering now, I retreated to the locker room and sighed, deciding to tell her.
Hey hey, you you! I don't like your girlfriend!
No way! No way! I think you need a new one;
Hey hey, you you! I could be your girlfriend!
The energetic song hummed itself in my head as I skipped happily into the grocery store; tonight, I am going to make a perfect dinner for me and my sweet Axey!! Okay, I know I sound like a gleeful little girl, but you can't help it when you're in love!! So hopping hyperactively all the while, I bought the ingredients, some nice candles and more cute decorations, te-hee.
Hey hey, you you! I know that you like me!
No way! No way! You know it's not a secret;
Hey hey, you you! I want to be your girlfriend!
Aw, this song is stuck in my head… I really couldn't possibly feel anymore like a girl than I have before in my life! Oh well! I paid and returned to my sexy ride 2006 Corvette Z06. (Yup, Axel bought it for me!) And- now who's that goddamn Porsche parked in front of my car so close, blocking my way?! How am I supposed to get out of the parallel park if you park THIS close?! Geez!! I grunted and placed the groceries in the only passenger's seat and closed the door back. Good thing somebody was in that Porsche; or I'm stuck here until the driver comes back. Frowning, I walked up to the window of the car to tap on-
Everything stopped.
The music in my head stopped. My arm stopped. My train of thought stopped.
My heart stopped.
The only thing moving was the image I see with my own naked eyes. The only fucking thing moving was the silver-haired man at the other side of the thin piece of glass, kissing and nipping at none other than…
…Axel himself.
I could almost hear his moan from the way his lips trembled. The very lips that I kissed every night. The very lips that spelled the three everlasting promise 'I. Love. You.' And right now here their owner sat, in this car and making out with some complete stranger. Those emerald eyes seemed to have a final realization of someone standing beside the window and gazed up, only to be coated with a new emotion much equally to mine – shock.
The back of my eyeballs hurt when those jade eyes bore holes into my cerulean ones. Feeling this, my legs that had conscience of their own moved. As soon as the first foot laid contact on the hard concrete ground, everything snapped back into motion. My legs ran on their own, backing to the silver Corvette. I heard the door of the Porsche being swung open and a yell of my name from that now-burning voice.
"Roxas!!"
That searing sound tore open my already half-dead heart. I slammed the door of my car shut and twisted the ignition routinely; oh shit… the Porsche is in the way!! Not caring, I slammed through the corner of the Porsche, ignoring Axel's rapid knocks on the other window and fortunately made it out.
'BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!' A piercing honk screeched.
"Aaah!" I shrieked while turning my steering wheel back in place. My spacing out has made me doze off the lane. My tears wouldn't stop from my eyes. W-Where am I going?
'Rrrrr! Rrrrr!' My cell phone! I picked it up and answered it. The speaker started with a beep.
"Hello? Roxas?"
"Sora…?" I sniffed.
"Hey." Something was different about Sora's voice. It was laced with concern. "Are you free tonight? I want you to come over and have dinner with us. Cloud will be there, too."
"I…" I hesitated. I had some other plans in mind.
"Please?"
"…A-Alright." I just couldn't refuse Sora's request. He's my twin brother… Even things about Axel have to wait. And he sounded so worried. If Riku did something again, I swear I won't forgive him.
A/N: Okay, there's a major change of style between the first and second half of this chapter, and I apologize. It's because I wrote this chapter a loooooong time ago, and then I have to edit the last part to change the ending to what I wanted. But I hope you have enjoyed it, and look forward to the next chapter!
