So sorry about the late chapter. First excuse is that I had bum loads of revision TT^TT I hate exams also I went to London McM over one of the weekends and it was amazing. I went to the KH meet and cosplayed as a heartless. It was amazing and everyone was so nice and awesome , they were just fantastic people and by now you're just wanting me to stop blabbing XD Well at ze expo I got a heartless plushie and a Axel mug 3 Also Just to let you know I'm re-editing over all the older chapters so be sure to take a look at them. I'm probably going to post the first one up after this chapter I just need to go over a few small things. Anyways , I do not own KH or FF. Enjoy! Edited by my Steph, sort of ~
From Roxas' point of view
Bzzt.
What the fuck? I thought I'd left my phone on silent.
Bzzzzt.
"Yo Axe you didn't come home last night. I came down to visit you but you weren't in! I'll visit you again sometime in the afternoon today, if you ain't in I won't be a happy bunny bro."
Urghhh, who the hell was calling so early in the morning? And who on earth is Axe? Axe…. Axel…. I woke up, slowly opening my eyes slightly and found myself wrapped up in a pair of arms. I was pressed up against Axel's chest, the sound of his heartbeat was soothing, I could almost feel myself dropping off to sleep again. No I can't go back to sleep, I need to get up.
I looked down, good I was still wearing clothes…wait. Why wouldn't I be wearing clothes? Every muscle in my body tensed; did I really just think that? I felt myself heat up in embarrassment.
"Mmph, why so tense Rox?" He rubbed my back, making me relax a bit. "You ok?" I wonder how long he has been awake for? I opened my heavy eyelids up all the way. My eyes met Axel's half open ones, he looked like he was about to go to asleep. There was something about him that just seemed so innocent, as if there was nothing wrong going on in his life.
"Yeah, I'm fine I guess." I squirmed out of Axel's warm comforting embrace and sat up, letting out a yawn.
"You guess? Nnhh, come back." Axel whined and grabbed me by the hips, gently bringing me back down under the covers.
"Axel! I need to get up and ready."
"Five more minutes," he closed his eyes and pulled me back down into the hug, holding me close to his chest.
"I'm not a teddy bear you know."
"Don't …care." His voice was muffled by the pillow. I guess it wouldn't hurt to have five extra minutes in bed. My alarm hadn't even gone off yet, so it's not like I was late getting up.
Beep beep beep
I take that back, I need to get up.
"Axel, did you hear that? It was my alarm, I really need to get out of bed now." I felt him slowly loosen his hold around me. I smiled slightly. "Thanks." I slid out of bed and walked over to my drawers to get some clean clothes. "I'll be in the shower, feel free to make yourself breakfast. Just make sure you leave enough time so that you can get home and get ready for school." I looked over to the lump moving underneath the duvet.
" Mnn," was the only response I got. I scurried off to the bathroom to take a shower. I was already feeling a lot better than I had felt yesterday. Once I was out the shower and changed, I made my way down stairs. Hearing Axel moving about in the kitchen, I walked in, to see what he was doing.
"Morning sleepy head." I said as I passed him. He was sitting down, with his arms stretched out across the table and his eyes shut tight.
"How the hell are you so awake at this time in the morning?" He let out yawn, and rubbed his eyes.
"I get up at the same time every morning, I'm used to it." I looked over at the sleepy redhead. "Do you want anything to eat?" I know I kept bugging him to eat but seriously he is so skinny, not an anorexic skinny, but still he was very skinny. Even though it suited him, I was still worried about his health.
"Nah, I'm good thanks. I'll probably steal some of Demyx's food at lunch." He stood up and let out another large yawn.
"Good plan. I'll probably get something at lunch too." I agreed with him. After throwing up yesterday, I didn't really feel like eating. I decided it would be a good idea to take a bottle of water. I went over to the cupboard and picked out an empty plastic bottle and filled it up with water from the sink. Like in hell would I pay for water they sold at school. It was overpriced and tasted like dinosaur piss.
"No Rox, you have to eat. It'll make you feel better!" Axel pounced out of his seat and went towards the fridge.
"But I'm not hungry, plus I don't want to be throwing up while I'm teaching a class. It's not really my style." I complained as he began to scan through what I had in the fridge.
"You won't throw up, please eat something. Even if you don't want to, do it for me." He turned around and looked at me with pleading eyes.
"Why do you care?" I spurted out. The moment I had said that, I wish I could've taken it back. I looked down awkwardly, not wanting to meet Axel's gaze.
"Just because you're my teacher, it doesn't mean I'm not allowed to care. Next time think about what you say before opening your mouth." I could hear the pain laced in his words.
"I u-uh," I didn't know what to say. I kept my head down in shame, looking at the floor.
"Cat got your tongue?" He said mockingly.
"Touché," I murmured.
"I'll see you at school, sir." Axel grabbed his beer from the fridge and strode out the house. He was gone, just like that. It was understandable that he went; I did say something pretty harsh. It just kind of hurt that he left, it hurt knowing that it was my fault. Urgh I had screwed up big time. Axel had bothered to look after me, all I did was take it for granted and then throw it back in his face by asking that stupid question.
I spent the rest of the morning feeling like a fucking idiot, as I got ready for school.
"So Zexion, if you're a police officer then why do you work here?" Demyx had spent morning tutor harassing, I mean asking Zexion questions. Axel was sitting at the back of the class talking to Larxene. Not that I actually care about who he talks to, pshht I
will not let this get to me. I will not feel bad that he's with that bitch, I had no reason to. Not only was Axel still mad at me for my outburst this morning, but also Xenmas's bitch, Saix, was back and moodier than ever.
"Well," the purple haired teen raked a hand through his fringe. "I wouldn't mind working here." He looked up at mullet brain and smiled. Urgh the lovey-doviness was blaringly obvious.
"For real!" Demyx yelled and did an air punch. "That's so freakin' awesome!" How on earth did that one kid have so much energy? Maybe him and Sora were related somehow, I mean they were both crazy and full of energy. Zexion hushed Demyx down so he wasn't so loud, and they carried on flirting.
I looked over to where Axel was, oh god; he was staring directly at me. I snapped my head down and checked my cell phone for the time. I fumbled about getting the phone out of my pocket, and managed to drop it on the floor under the desk. The back of the phone came off and the battery fell out.
"Shit," I hissed. I got out of my chair and crawled under the desk to pick up the phone and it's battery. I placed the battery into the back of the phone and slid the back cover of the phone on. I moved backwards from under the desk. Getting up, to sit down on my chair, I thwacked my head on the edge of the desk and fell flat on my ass. I let out a small yelp of pain and I could feel tears forming in the corners of my eyes, damn it, I am not a wuss! I bit my tongue as a distraction. Luckily the bell rang and most of the students didn't notice that I'd made a fool of myself. Unfortunately Saix was one of the students who had seen me, he let out a small snicker. And no doubt about it Axel had seen me, but what really surprised me was when he helped me up. He grabbed my hand, pulled me up and then walked out the room to his next class with Demyx.
I rubbed the spot on my head where I'd hurt it; a small lump had started to form. Great, now I'm going to have one hell of a headache. I looked through my bag and pulled out the bottle of water. I took a sip out of the bottle and screwed the lid back on.
There wasn't much to do, I had first period free and then after that I'd be teaching geography. It would be geography…. with Axel's class. Dun dun duhhh, cue dramatic music.
I decided to go on my laptop and play snake. You know the game where you're a snake and you have to go round eating the fruits, while trying to avoid bumping into the sides otherwise the game would restart. I tapped at the arrow buttons furiously.
"C'mon! Move!" I continued to talk to the laptop, as I moved the snake around, getting all the fruit.
"Sir?" I was completely oblivious to the fact I'd spent an hour staring at the computer screen, and that it was already time for next period.
"Get that fruit, damn it!" I pressed hard on the down arrow. My snake was so big now, no that was not a sexual innuendo, anyway it was so big that I would be peeved if I lost the game.
"Um Sir? Everyone is waiting outside, I'm pretty sure half of them are going to get bored and skip class, if you don't let us in."
"No!" I had accidentally made the snake crash into the wall. "You," I pointed to the person who had interrupted me, "made me lose the game." It was Riku who had distracted me. I got up and walked towards the door, barging past Riku. "Get in line, asshole." I am not in a good mood.
"Make me." He smirked. Oh I was going to have to wipe that smirk off his face. I turned back around to face him. I got up on my tiptoes and leant in, so there was only a few centimetres between our faces.
"W-What the h-hell are y-you doing?" Ha major stutter much. Riku tried backing away, but I stopped him by grabbing the collar of his shirt and pulling him closer. I think maybe I hit my head a bit too hard this morning.
"I'm going to shut you up." The urge to laugh was hard to control; I don't think I've seen Riku so flustered before. His eyes were darting around trying to avoid mine and there was a small blush spread across his face. I slid my hands into his silver hair and began to twirl his hair around my fingers. Then, I yanked down as hard as I could.
"Fuck!" He let out a yelp of pain and fell over.
"Stand up." I commanded, still holding his hair. When he wouldn't move, I tugged harder at his hair. "I said stand up." I was in my 'piss me off and I'll kill you' mood. He stood up and tried to get my hand out of his hair, it only resulted on me pulling harder. I carried on pulling his hair harshly and dragged him out of the room.
"Get off!" He struggled about.
"The more you struggle, the more it will hurt. Also you're making yourself look like an idiot, and all your friends are watching you." I pushed him in line between Axel and Saix. Riku didn't retaliate back and decided to keep his mouth shut. "What's wrong, you're not going to answer back? Cat got your tongue?" I grinned evilly. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Axel smile slightly as he rolled his eyes.
"Hey Axe, don't you think Saix is like the Cookie Monster?" Riku asked Axel. Seriously for the past twenty minutes Riku and Axel had been blabbing on about random crap. I could feel myself losing brain cells as each second went by, luckily for them I had managed to calm down and I wasn't in a bad mood.
"Because of his hair colour right?" Axel kept on clicking the top of his pen. Click, click, click. It was enough to turn the calmest person angry.
"Yeah, I mean they both have the same colour hair right?"
"Yes, but the Cookie Monster is furry all over, Saix only has hair on his head, eyebrows and down by his ding-a-ling. Unless he shaves down there." Ew, I really didn't need to know that.
"That's gross Axe, you're corrupt. Anyway, doesn't he have hair on his chest and other places like that?"
"Na, he doesn't have any there. I have sports class with him, and I see almost everything when we're changing."
"You look?"
"It's kinda hard to miss when Saix is strutting about,"
"Why does he stru-," Riku was cut off by Saix.
"Idiots, I'm sitting right here you know. I can hear every word you're saying. And no I do not shave my chest hairs, I just don't have any. It's not like you two have any either." Saix carried on writing his work. Although he seemed calm, you could tell he was going to flip any second. "If you two mutter one more word about me and that damned Cookie Monster I swear I'll-" This time it was me who was cutting him off.
"Saix, if you do anything to either Axel or Riku I will extend that months worth of detentions you have with Mr Strife to two months." I flipped a page over of the book I was reading, not bothering to look up.
"Ahaha, how the fuck did you manage to get a month worth of detentions with Mr Strife?" Axel howled with laughter.
"You must have been a very very naughty boy." Riku snickered while putting on a feminine voice.
"Riku, stop being so perverted and all of you get back to work." I rested the book down on the table and looked up at them.
"Siiiiiir," Axel grinned, oh god I had a feeling he was going to say something incredibly stupid. Well at least he was talking to me now; maybe he'd forgiven me for what I had said earlier.
"What?" I raised an eyebrow.
"I'm not Elmo, but you can tickle me anytime you like." He winked at me before going back to working. I slapped my hand against my forehead.
"Axel, was that meant to be a pick up line? Because it sure sounded like one. Plus anyway the Cookie Monster and Elmo are two different characters." Riku glanced at the redhead suspiciously.
"Maybe, maybe not. Why would it matter to you? And yes, I know they are two different characters." Axel narrowed his eyes and glared at Riku.
"You," I pointed at Axel. "Detention after school with me, for being too chatty and for not doing any work." I leant back in my chair and rested my feet up on the desk.
"What, no! But I can't do after school, if you're going to give me a detention make it at lunch!" Axel jumped up out of his seat.
"Axel sit down. No buts, detention after school with me. And if you don't come, you can join Saix with Mr Strife every day after school for a month."
"Nice one dick-wad." Riku whispered, he probably thought I couldn't hear him.
"Riku, get out." I pointed to the door. "Go to Sephiroth's class, you can spend your lunch with him too. Tell him I sent you for being a pain in the ass." Riku had walked half way across the room and froze in his place when I mentioned Sephiroth's name.
"Can't I just have a detention after school like Axel?" He and the rest of his class must be scared of Sephiroth or something because they all looked like they were about to crap their pants. Apart from Axel, he just sat there trying not to laugh. I would have sent Axel with Riku but I wanted to talk to Axel after school. I needed to apologize for earlier.
"No. Now go." I stared at Riku, as he just stood there not moving. Now do you remember my megaphone? I kept it at school because it was too much effort carrying it around. I took it out from the desk drawer and walked up to Riku. "I SAID GO" I boomed into the megaphone. Riku wasn't the type who would give in so easily. But this time I had won; he walked out of the room sulkily, scuffing his feet along the ground. "Back to work everyone." I went to sit down at my desk.
The rest of the day had been boring and nothing interesting had happened. Xigbar had stayed away, then again when he came to approach me Axel had sent the old creep a death glare, making Xigbar run off like a scared mouse.
"Hey sir can we make this a really really reallllly quick detention. I need to get home a.s.a.p." Axel rushed into the classroom.
"Eh and why's that." I had just finished off tidying up from the last class I had taught, and had a handful of textbooks. I took them over to the back and got on my tiptoes in an attempt to put them on the shelf. Damn it, I couldn't reach. I was going to have to get a chair and stand on it. But that would make me seem short and Axel would probably laugh at me.
"Let me help you with those." I felt the weight of the books being lifted off my hands. To my surprise Axel had taken them and had placed them in the cupboard to the side. "You should leave them in here, that way you will be able to um…get to them more easily." He smiled slightly.
"Thanks, and I'm really sorry about this morning." The last part came out so fast, Axel probably wouldn't be able to understand what I said.
"It's fine don't worry and sorry for uh walking out on you like that." Simultaneously we both turned our heads to the side, not looking at each other. And then as if we were in one of those really bad cheesy rom-coms we looked at each other and smiled. The whole situation made me want to laugh. "Ah anyway, I need to get home because my brother has come down. I was supposed to see him yesterday but instead I had to look after my cutesie wootsie blond friend." I let out a small growl, but he just laughed at me.
"Whatever." I crossed my arms and pouted. Friend that's what he had called me. Although I wouldn't show it, it made me feel happy. "I'll let you go, on one condition." Axel raised an eyebrow. I only just realised Axel had very short eyebrows, I wonder what had happened.
"Go ahead."
"How come your eyebrows are so short?"
"That's not a condition."
"Uh, right." I guess I'll have to leave that question for another time. "I'll let you go, if…" Here comes the big 'if'.
"If?" He craned his neck slightly forward.
"If I can come with you."
