Whooo! Another chapter! I'm on a roll! Hehe! OO Thank you all so much for the reviews! I just about fainted from excitement and happiness from all of them!

I read one though that said Roxas seemed like he was a bit girly, I'm sorry if he was too girly for you. But I mean, he is uke material ;D lol anyways, I tried to make him seem more 'manly' in this chapter. (Actually I didn't... I just think he is lol)

And everything will fall into place in the plot. Once it becomes solid I mean, eheh... I know what I'm doing!

Disclaimer: Lets see, Axel and Roxas do not make out in the rain without their shirts on. Zexion doesn't really die andshow up a lotof the same scenes as Demyx. Kairi doesn't go missing at the end of the game, leaving Sora and Riku on the island to make out. So, yeah, I don't own it.

oh yeah, and italics means, it's a flashblack. Or.. what happened earlier in the day. Yeah...


"So, Axel, what did you do yesterday?" Riku chomped into a freshly baked cookie that his dad had made. I frowned as Riku died, taking up a life for the pitiful hobbits.

"Went to the mall." I clicked my tongue in annoyance as the meter for the Ringwraiths went up because Frodo didn't want to run for me.

"Oh? With who?"

"Roxas, who else?" I snorted at him. Who did he think I went with? Namine? What a joke that would be. Riku flipped me off and snorted as the dragon swooped down and took the feeble hobbit away, giving us yet another game over. I hate hobbits.

"Why is your hair like that?" He asked, glancing at me. Puzzled I reached a hand up to touch my head. Oh, I had never taken it down. I tugged on a strand of my hair and then returned my hands to the controller. I didn't really mind.

"Roxas did it." I glared at Riku when he snickered at me. "He liked it, so I left it in. You got a problem with that?" I snarled and Riku raised his hands defensively.

"Hey, I'm just surprised that you went along with it." He said.

"As long as Roxas likes it I'll-" I clapped my mouth shut. Oh crap, I didn't want Riku to know! I mean, it's bad enough that I like the runt, but if Riku knew, he'd never get off my case. I can see it now- we are sitting at lunch and as I'm sitting next to Roxas Riku makes inappropriate gestures at us and snickers while looking between the both of us. Then poor Roxas would not be able to understand and get embarrassed, turning an utterly adorable shade of red. No matter how cute that would be, I wouldn't want him to get embarrassed like then, not when he probably doesn't even understand what Riku means.

"What did I just hear?" Riku paused the game and looked over at me. "Did I just hear that Axel will do things if Roxas likes it? Why does my gaydar go off at this?" He smirked.

"Your gaydar is broken, 'cause I'm just doing it because Roxas is my friend."

"So, if Roxas, your best friend, told you to heatedly make out with him, you would do it?"

"No!" I defended myself but felt a tingle of heat in my cheeks. Riku looked at me triumphantly and I crossed my arms and glared at him.

"Don't worry Axel, your secret's safe with me."

"I do not like him!" I snapped at him.

"I never said you did. Not specifically." He answered and I gapped at him. That little bastard. Growling, I unpaused the game.

"Fine. But don't tell." I snorted.

"I promise," he crossed his finger over his heart grinning. "But, I guess this explains the air of hostility you have towards Namine." He said and I glanced at him.

"You noticed?"

"Only a blind person wouldn't see the death glares you send her."

"I do not send her death glares."

"Okay fine. Anger rays of doom." He laughed.


"Axel, I didn't know you were in this class." Xemnas looked between his paper and me as I trailed in behind Roxas.

"I decided that I want to graduate with the minimum number of credits. So I need to take this class I found out."

"Indeed. Well, we have no open desks for you so, just sit on the window sill." Xemnas gestured towards the window and I sat down over there, following Roxas with my eyes to see who he was sitting next too. Just my luck; it was Namine. Growling silently I slammed my binder onto the window sill, getting a look from Xemnas.

"Okay class, since we just got another student I must re explain the project we are doing…" I tuned Xemnas out. I would eventually just copy off of Roxas so I didn't need to hear what he was saying.

Xemnas was the school's health/sex ed teacher. Roxas and I weren't in the same class as Cloud, Leon, Sora or Riku, so I was hopping that I would be able to sit next to him. I guess I should have showed up for class earlier in the year to claim my place.

"Axel?"

"What Mansex?" Xemnas snorted. He hated the fact that I had told him that his name could spell that, but didn't do anything to stop me from calling him that. Xemnas was a pretty cool teacher…sometimes.

"Do you have a preference on who you will work with?" I glanced over at Roxas but shook my head no. I was not about to let him find me out. It was bad enough that Riku knew, but I trusted he wouldn't tell.

"Indeed…" Xemnas said thoughtfully. He said indeed in the weirdest ways. "To make this fair, I shall draw names out of a hat to pick who your partner is. That way, whoever ends up without one, ends up alone by themselves." He grinned his scary smile and started to write our names down on pieces of paper.

Yes! There was a possibility that I could end up with Roxas, without having to look suspicious. Then Roxas would not think anything of my obsessive attempt to be his partner in every class that gave out a project…


"Today, you must find a partner so you can do your lab-" Professor Zexion said dully as he dropped the textbook onto his table. He stared at the class as they continued to sit in their individual seats. "Anyday now would be great." Axel shot up in his chair and was instantly next to Roxas' desk.

"Wanna pair up?" Axel said a bit too eagerly than he would have liked to sound. Roxas nodded his head, but continued to look ahead, most likely at Namine who was going to pair up with Kairi. Axel angrily snorted, but pulled a desk over to Roxas.

"Sooo… Since I don't know what else to do, I'll have you do a project on the Egyptians!" Professor Demyx smiled and clapped, but the class was used to his weird behavior by now. "We'll do it in class, 'cause the weather is still nice so you peeps should be outside having fun! I mean look at those trees! Such pretty colors! I don't see that a lot- ohmigawd a bird!" Professor Demyx ran to the window and started to caw at the bird. The students sigh, and read the directions on the board that tells them that the project will be done in groups of 2 or 3.

"Hey Roxas!" Axel had shimmied his way from the other side of the room to Roxas in .23 seconds flat. Roxas turned his attention to Axel.

"Let me guess, you want to pair up?" Axel nodded his head and Roxas moved over at his desk for Axel to put down another chair.

"Ah! It's attacking me!" The students watched as Professor Demyx started screaming as a flock of birds started to attack him, chasing him down the hall.


"Axel and-" Xemnas pulled out the second strip. "Namine."

No effin' way.

"What?" I exclaimed, jumping off the window sill and glaring at him.

"Indeed. It is you and Namine working together, Axel." Gaping I looked over at Namine and Roxas as Roxas got up from his seat to make room for me. Namine smiled nervously at me and waved. Oh yeah, you should be afraid, 'cause I'm not happy. I stomped my way over and threw my book on the desk, effectively scattering the papers she had on the desk. Namine started to frown but then kept her smile as she reached down to pick up her papers. Snorting, I sat down next to her and slammed my clunky boots onto the table and leaned back in my chair. I was not going to let her be happy.

"Hello, Axel." She smiled at me as Xemnas continued to read off names. I watched Roxas stand anxiously looking around the room to find out who he would be paired up with. "I hope working together will help us become better friends." She carefully placed her papers back in her binder.

"In your dreams, little girl. I'm not looking for a friend, especially not you." I stated flatly, and Namine flinched in her seat but kept smiling. Damn happy girl! I turned my attention to finding where Roxas had been seated. I found him sitting next to some kid that was on his blitzball team, I think his name is Wakka. Frowning, I looked back at Namine who was writing some things down.

"So what do we do?" I clicked my tongue and stared at the blackboard.

"Well, our group, according to our table number of the directions on the blackboard, we have to make a poster about STDs." Lovely.

"Okay. My contribution is… buying the board." I pulled out my wallet and threw a few bills on the table. "That means that's the last of us working together." I did not want to work with this girl. I caught Roxas looking at us, most likely at Namine. See what I mean? Namine is hogging all the attention from Roxas and leaving me with none. This was not what I wanted, so why should I be nice to the girl who is stealing my Roxas away?

He's not yours. He obviously likes girls. I felt my heart sink and I directed my gaze to my boots.

"Axel, you may not want to work with me, but at least do something for the project."

"I did. I gave you money to buy the board."

"That's not what I mean." Namine huffed. "I bet you wouldn't act like this if you were with Roxas…" She said under her breath but I caught it.

"Say what?" I narrowed my eyes at her, but it seemed to have no effect on the girl who continued to write in her binder. "Hey, what did you say?" I hissed and grabbed the pencil out of her hand. She turned to me with a frown.

"Why are you so stubborn to do work? I bet you can't even find pictures on the internet for the project. Or even write a page about STDs. So maybe giving me money for the poster board is the most your mind can comprehend." Namine said, then went back to smile mode. Did she just challenge me? I so can write a page for this project! I can find pictures on the internet! In fact, I'll find pictures in books! Yeah, I bet she doesn't think I can do that either!

"Shut it, I can so! So give me a sheet that has everything I need to find on it, and I'll get it by the end of the week." Namine ripped the paper out of her binder and handed it to me. "Hah, I'll show you," I snatched the paper out of her hand as the bell rang. Namine calmly got up from her seat, grabbed her things and headed towards the lunch room. Or so I thought. She stopped at the desk Roxas was standing at as he tried to fit his things into his bookbag. She set her bag down, getting his attention and opened it, looking for something. Roxas started talking to her but I couldn't hear because of all the noisy idiots in the classroom. Namine answered him, and they both laughed. Twitching an eye, I started to quickly shove my things into the bag. I looked up in time to see Roxas and Namine walk out of the door. Together. Huffing, I stomped out the door and looked around. Roxas was waiting for her as she looked through her bottom locker.

Then she pulled out a bunch of roses.

Freakin' roses.

Roxas looked surprised, but Namine started to talk to him and Roxas smiled wide. He was smiling, because she gave him a present. When was the last time I gave Roxas a present? On his birthday and it was a skateboard. But that was a birthday where you have to give presents. But Namine was giving him roses for no reason. Why was she giving him roses? Did girls normally give roses to guys they liked? Why was Roxas so happy that she was giving them to him?

And then Roxas hugged her.

"Roxas." He turned around just as he let go of of Namine, and stared up at me in confusion. "We'll be late to lunch." I stated with a glare at Namine, who visually shrunk back. Good. I grabbed Roxas' arm and dragged him to the lunch room.

"What was all about?" He said trying to keep up with my furious march towards the cafeteria. I ignored his question and kept walking forward and he started to try to get out of my grip.

"Axel, stop it."

"Axel. Axel!"

"Axel, you're hurting me!" He shouted and snapped me out of it, and I quickly let go of his wrist and he pulled it close to his chest and stared at me.

"What's wrong with you?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You're so mean to Namine! What did she do to you?" I opened my mouth to tell him that she was stopping me from having you, but then quickly shut it.

"Yeah, she did nothing. And then you dragged me away in a vice grip without letting me say goodbye." He stared at me, looking for an answer to his question. But I couldn't tell him. He sighed and looked at the floor.

"I have a paper I have to finish for next period. I'm going to the library." He stated and started off down the hall.

He didn't have a paper to finish because he always finished all his essays the day he got them, even if he had to stay up all night. He didn't have to write an essay. He just didn't want to go to lunch with me.

Cursing, I stalked out of the building. I needed to burn something.


Yes, LOTR reference. I have watched that movie and played that game so many times. Stupid hobbits... (starts to impersonate Gollum)

Ah, I see problems arising between Roxas and Axel! And... the fact that I don't think any of the questions I said at the end of the other chapter were answered. xD Well, they will be, but not in this chapter, ehehe.

I got Zexy and Demyx in there! yay! And the Mansex joke, and Xemnas said 'Indeed.' tehe!

Okay, time for you to please review! It will make me super happy :D
