"Axel, if this was an experiment, the whole class would blow up." Roxas sighed as he looked over the work that the red head did.

"Ohh, I like fire…"

"Pay attention Axel." he tapped the book in front of him with a pencil.

"Right…"

"You forgot to carry the two over to this equation here." He pointed out as he rubbed off the mistake and drew an arrow and placed a number by the symbols.

"This sounds like math." He groaned as he banged his head on the table.

"It's not that different." He reasoned.

"It's completely different!" he waved his arms madly about, barely missing the head of their science teacher, Vexen. "It's like…saying that French fries go with ice cream!"

"And your point?" he quirked up an eyebrow at the red head.

"Eh?" he froze and turned to stare at the blond.

"I'll have you know that French fries do go nicely with ice cream."

"But-but-but it's sweet and salty!" he sputtered and cried out.

"It's like sea salt ice cream! It's sweet and it's salty. Now pay attention." He sighed and turned back to the pages in front of him.

"Ugh…whatever."

"Ok, so you substitute this form and then you change it over, carry this term from here to here and it'll equal to this. Are you even paying attention?!"

"Yes, mother…" he sighed again.

"Don't call me that." He shuddered. "Teaching you science is like teaching Larxene not to swear. Impossible I tell you."

"Hey, hey. Don't give up on me just yet."

"I wouldn't if you were paying the slightest bit of attention." He rolled his eyes and threw the pencil back on the table.

"What?" he picked up the pencil and started on a new equation. "You just do this and this and this and it's all done!"

"That's not even-" he looked over the equation again and stared at the red head with an open mouth. "That's…right…The handwriting's a bit messy, but it's still right…"

"See! I am paying attention!" he huffed and crossed his arms.

"You did it, I can't believe you did it. Ten minutes ago, you didn't even know what CO2 was, and now you're doing equations! Congratulations Axel!" he gave the red head a hearty pat on the back.

"Cool, do I get a kiss?" he puckered up his lips and leaned in.

"No." his smile disappeared and he shoved the book into Axel's face. "Now do the rest of the exercise."

"Aww…that sucks."

"Stop complaining and do it. The more you do, the better you get, the easier it'll be." He reasoned as he began his own work.

After five minutes of silence from the red head, Roxas was in a steady pace of completing the exercises given from the teacher. But of course, the silence didn't last long.

"Err…Roxas? What's H2O?"

"H2O is hydrogen hydroxide commonly known as water." He rolled his eyes. 'Who in their right mind doesn't know what H2O is…?'

"I thought H2GO was water." He imagined a water bottle with the label on it. "What's H2GO then?"

Roxas slapped his forehead and shouted out, "It's a gimmick!!"

"Oh…Ok then." He turned back to the exercises in front of him.

Roxas sighed and tried to get back his concentration, but it flew out of the window when he met Axel.

"What's a gimmick?" the red head asked.

Roxas thumped his head on the table. Repeatedly.

When the class was over, finally, Roxas had a red mark on his forehead, and Axel, for the first time in the school year, completed his science exercises and learned something out of it.

"I feel like I've accomplished something today." Axel grinned from ear to ear as he strolled out of the class, scaring the kids away because they thought he looked menacing.

"I feel like I've lost half of my brain capacity…" Roxas groaned as he walked with his shoulders slumped.

"Won't you die from that?"

"Don't know, but if your brain doesn't get enough oxygen, you can either die, or be stuck in a vegetative state. Some people call it 'brain-dead'."

"That sounds nasty…" he winced.

"Yeah well…" he gave a half hearted scoff as he gingerly rubbed his forehead.

"Anyways, about tonight. Do you wanna eat before or after the concert?"

"What you're asking doesn't make sense. Of course you eat before the concert or else your stomach would complain at the lack of food." He spoke as he continued walking down the hallway, avoiding bumping into people.

"My dear little Roxy." He began, swinging his arm around and placing it on the blonds' shoulder who protested, "Don't call me little." And with a quick movement, made Axel's arm drop away from its spot.

"I pick you up at let's say, six-ish. That'll be too early for dinner, don't you think? Besides, we gotta get there fast if we wanna get a good spot." Roxas had opened his mouth to object, but Axel continued on talking, "And then the concert ends at let's say, around nine-ish, which is a good time because that's when I eat my dinner." He spoke as he turned a corner, never minding that it was the wrong way.

"I eat dinner at 6…Where are you going by the way?"

"That early? Woah…"

"You eat your dinner too late in the night."

"I'm heading to the art room, I left my folder behind. Anyways, I digress. I had hoped that you'd pick eating after the concert. That way I can take you to a nice little café."

"Eating at 9 is far too late for me." He followed the red head who was going down an art-filled corridor. "I've never been around here before."

"It's the art department, mainly students who take art as a subject come down here. How about a compromise."

"Here goes another one of your bright ideas." He mumbled as he stared at some pictures that hung on the wall, knowing that it's not really a compromise on Axel's behalf.

"You can eat your dinner at your usual time, and then after the concert, I'll take you to the café and you can get a snack or whatever."

"It's best if I get home before 10pm."

"No sweat, I'll get you home by ten." He came up to his classroom and opened the door, "After you."

"Thanks…You better get me home by then, or else it's no more outings on school nights." He turned the corner and halted abruptly.

"Says you or your parents?" the red head asked, stopping beside the blond who seemed to be gaping at something.

"Both…" or someone.

"Err…" he followed Roxas' gaze and it fell upon two figures that were kissing in the corner. "Ok, looks like we came at a bad time." The red head started, then hastily added, "I don't need my folder, let's go to your locker." He spoke with sheer optimism.

"Yes, lets!" he was glad for the change of subject and quickly walked out after the red head.

Once the two intruders left the room, a certain dirty haired blond and slate haired boy broke free from their kiss. "You think we scared them?" Demyx asked.

"Who cares…" he growled out and went back in to capture the blonds' lips.

"Mmhmm." He smiled into the kiss.

Axel had tripped over his shoes when they were trying to flee the art-filled hallway back to the main part of the school. Roxas would've laughed but the image of Demyx and Zexion kissing were still fresh in his mind.

"Ok so tell me…" Roxas started, feeling as though the place got hot all of a sudden.

"Hmm?" he pulled at the neck hem of his t-shirt.

"Is it true that all emos are gay?"

"For the record...I'm not gay."

"Oh sorry." He apologized, 'I thought you said you were?' he thought to himself, not wanting to speak out his thoughts to prevent the situation from getting more embarrassing.

"I'm bi…"

This time it was Roxas who tripped over his footing, "It's not something you should brag about." He felt his face grow hot at the re-discovery of Axel's gender orientation.

"I'm not bragging, I'm clarifying..."

"Right, right. Ok, whatever." He laughed it off and slapped himself mentally.

"What about you?" he asked suddenly, wanting to continue this line of conversation.

"I told you. I'm straight!" he yelled out by accident, attracting the attention of what little students that was in the hallway, and his face grew redder.

"Haven't you been bi-curious before?" he asked, liking the shade of color on Roxas' cheeks.

"What? No!" he exclaimed as he turned to face the red head with a look of shock.

"Haven't you been curious before?"

"I tend to think of it as curiosity killed the cat."

"Oh now, that's no fun!" Axel chuckled, ignoring all the glances that were being shot his way. "What's the point in life if you don't experiment and live life a little eh?"

"What's the point in life if you end up dying because of your curiosity?" he pointed out, trying to push himself through the main hallway.

"Good point, but you're not actually gonna die for being gay or bi." Again, his words attracted several eyes.

"No, but my parent's might."

"Oh true, you're a church boy." A passing girl laughed at the comment.

"Yes, if you wanna put it that way." His blush returned.

"Ah, religions, religions." He waved his hand about, his comment earning a glare from the blond. "I don't wanna live my life like there's gonna be a 'higher being' that's gonna judge me for everything I do." He quoted. "Personally, that's just no fun."

"You think too much about it. It's not like there's gonna be someone actually watching you constantly, day-in and day-out." He pointed out as he walked up to his locker.

"Hey, call me paranoid. Besides, don't you need to commit yourself into your religion or whatever?"

"I guess, I mean, I'm still a normal kid though." He spoke as he started twisting the knob of his combination locker.

"Yeah, but I'm just saying. Aren't there hang-out groups that you have with other members of your holy society or whatever?" he asked as he took his usual spot by Roxas' locker.

"Right…If you're talking about life groups, then yeah. We have those, but only my mum goes. Sometimes my dad goes too, but most of the time he's either at work or watching the news on TV." He squinted his eyes at his lock and growled at it after it failed to open for the second time.

"And what about you?"

"I'm not a big believer, but I still know what I can and can't do." Finally, he managed to get it unlocked. He swung the door open and began taking out books to take home.

"So, you don't believe in the higher being?"

"Oh I do, I'm just not that committed." After checking that he's got all he needs, he closed the locker and turned to Axel. "Right, see you at six-ish then." He smirked.

"Yup, see you later Roxy." He smirked as he ruffled up the blonds' hair as he walked off.

"How many times-" he started as he smacked away the red head's hand.

"As many as I want." He continued his smirk as he threw a wave back to Roxas. "Catch ya later Roxy."

"Yeah, yeah." Just as he combed back his hair with his fingers, his brother ran up to him.

"Roxas! Do you know what time it is?! We've missed the bus!" the brunet shouted out as he stopped in front of the blond.

"Er…opps?" he laughed nervously and scratched his head.

"Opps? OPPS?! Is that all you can say? Opps?!" he blew up, "You know that my favorite show in on at the exact time we get home!"

"I'm sorry! I got carried away." He put up in hands in defense. 'Angry Sora is not a happy Sora…'

"Roxas…If I miss that episode, I will hit you with a keyblade." Sora stepped forward menacingly, the blond gulped and took a step back, a nervous smile still playing on his lips.

"Now, now Sora, it's only a cartoon. There's bound to be repeats!"

"It's not the same!" he pleaded. "The moment would've been gone! GONE WITH THE WIND I TELL YOU!!" he dramatically fell to his knees.

"Ok, ok! If we run, we can still catch it!" Roxas reasoned as he looked at his watch, 'It's risky, but if we're lucky, we'll make it.'

"You think so?" he glanced at his watch. 'Yeah, we can make it.'

"We're both good runners, so how about a race? You win, you get your cartoon and I'll make you a sandwich as an apology. Ok?"

"Ready!" he shot up to his feet and got into a running position.

"Set!"

"GO!" they shouted and bounded towards the door, dodging the other students and rounding the corners easily. When they got to the door, they flew over the steps and continued on running past the school front gates.

"How're you holding up bro?" Sora shouted out as he turned a sharp corner, narrowly missing the pole that was there. "Watch out!"

"Doing pretty good so far!" Roxas laughed as he came up to the corner and jumped, rebounding off the post with a kick.

"Nice one."

"Hah." He tried to laugh, but it came out as a half-pant.

After a few more minutes of non-stop running, they turned another corner and saw that the bus was still there, with two more people climbing on board.

"We've made it!" the blond panted as he started to jog instead.

"Hallelujah!" Sora exclaimed as he jogged along side his brother.

"Told you we'd make it. You panicked for no reason." His breath was coming by shorter as they got in line behind the last person.

"Admit that you were scared of me." He laughed as he held onto Roxas' shoulder for balance.

"Me? Scared of you? Puh-leeze." They laughed as they got on the bus, ignoring all the stares from the other students.

Yay! An excellent Sora and Roxas brotherly moment. Sigh…I've been wanting to do one of those for a while. Hehe.

I was just reading the first chapter of this story again, and I think it was quite, HORRIBLE! It wasn't good enough to get people's attention! Seriously, dude. It only got good after the…what? Second or third chapter? Yeah, probably…
