Important notes: I'm glad people are enjoying the story. I'm starting to add things not in the movie into the story, because if I followed the movie exactly the story would be over a lot quicker. The first part I thought was going to turn out funny as I planned, but it's still good. Don't worry, humor will still come later on just wait, then it gets really sappy, then funny again. I rewrote this chapter twice, because I'm weird. .;
Roxas just got out of the shower, he had a towel around his waist and slowly was making his way to his closet. He was a bit nervous about the date, but they weren't what most people worried about. He worried what Axel would think of him, not Tidus. He wanted to make Axel have hungry eyes for him. He wanted Axel to hold him and never let go.
Roxas turned around; as he thought he heard something. He walked over to his window but didn't see anything, and then suddenly someone grabbed him.
"Roxas wait!" Axel held onto the boy's bare arm huffing from the long climb of the tree.
Roxas blinked, what on Earth was Axel doing here? Should he be mad? Sad? Roxas didn't exactly have time to think about his options.
"What is it Axel?" He looked at Axel with his deep blue eyes, his voice was empty. Axel looked straight at him, but it was too painful so he turned his head away.
"Are you really going on a date with Tidus tonight?" Axel bit his lip then decided to give Roxas his own medicine. His jade eyes haunted Roxas, it felt like his eyes were staring straight into his heart. Everything Roxas did, Axel was better at. It was no fair.
Roxas pulled his arm of Axel's grip, and nodded.
"Yes, I am going with Tidus" He crossed his arms while Axel got a better grip on the tree.
"Can anything change your mind?" Roxas thought for a second, maybe Axel wasn't over him as he thought. Maybe they could work things out.
"He's just using you because we had something, Roxas. The guy hates me, he most likely doesn't even like you" Axel wanted to tell Roxas that he loved him more than Tidus ever could, but he couldn't, or could he?
Roxas got a sour look on his face and grunted.
"YOU are such an asshole! You always think the world revolves around you! Tidus likes me, he wants to go out with me. It isn't because he wants revenge on you, he doesn't even know about what I thought we had. Leave me-" Axel leaned over and grabbed Roxas' chin and kissed him. He wanted to kiss Roxas for so long; he wanted to kiss Roxas again. Though it seemed as ever day passed, his chances of being with Roxas were getting slimmer. Roxas was mentally screaming, and was horribly confused. He was mad, no wait, furious, maybe sad? He didn't know, he didn't care. He let Axel kiss him, he let Axel take control. Axel always beat him.
"You talk way too much when you're mad" Axel broke the kiss and Roxas was still in awe. Axel made a mistake, he wanted Roxas to come back to him, not vice versa.
"I just wanted kiss you one last time, so I can forget the past" Roxas frowned, Axel was over him. Nothing he could do could get him back. Roxas started to develop tears in his eyes. He looked at Axel, he didn't care if Axel saw his tears.
"Go to hell!" Roxas pushed Axel off the tree and he came falling down. Axel screamed and fell into a pile of leaves. He realized Roxas had misinterpreted what he said.
"I hope you get amnesia you jerk!" Roxas shut his window and Axel was still in shock. Did he really change the innocent pure kind hearted Roxas into this? Axel smiled, Roxas still wanted him, and he wasn't going to let that happen. He was going to win Roxas over at the moogle palace tonight, no matter what. Forget pride, he really did love Roxas.
------We take the pressure and we throw away------
Tidus had picked Roxas up, and they walked into the moogle palace. It was packed, and Roxas could see the sombodies and the nobodies at one large table, except for Axel. Roxas scanned the room but didn't see him at all.
Roxas decided on wearing a red plaid button up shirt, and kaki pants. He couldn't help but wear Axel's favorite color. Even after what Axel said about wanting to forget him, he still couldn't forget Axel. Maybe deep down he didn't want to forget Axel. Roxas bit his lip and realized he was already seated with Tidus. He scanned the menu and decided on a chocolate milkshake, while Tidus wanted to get two double cheeseburgers, onion rings, and a strawberry malt. The waitress took down their order and went to deliver the order. Roxas saw what felt like a million eyes on him. He felt uncomfortable, but Tidus was too distracted to pick this up.
"So Roxas, what's your favorite color?" Tidus decided to break the ice and silence.
"Red, no wait blue" Why the hell did he say Axel's favorite color? He mentally slapped himself and smiled sweetly at Tidus. "It's dark blue".
Roxas kept staring at the door, hoping that Axel would come in at any second. Their food had arrived and Roxas didn't pay much attention to his shake, while Tidus was eating like a wild animal.
Roxas then saw Axel and some strange guy walking together. They sat at the table directly in front of Roxas and Tidus. Roxas glared at the stranger, he already didn't like the guy. Wait, why was he getting jealous? Wasn't he the one that was supposed to get Axel jealous?
"So what do you want to order?" the waitress asked Axel
"Fries" Axel's voice seemed like he was bored out of his mind.
"I'll have a side of Axel, I mean onion rings" Zexion said seductively licking his lips.
Axel acted like Zexion didn't even say his comment; he just smiled at the waitress and twiddled his thumbs.
Roxas couldn't take his eyes of those two. He wanted to go over and punch Zexion, no one talked to his Axel like that, except for him! Wait, hold on, his Axel? Roxas took two steps forewords and fifty steps back.
"Hey, can you give me some money? I want to change the song on the jukebox, Tidus" Tidus handed Roxas the money, and Roxas gently kissed Tidus on the cheek glaring at Axel. Soon Axel excused himself from Zexion, but before leaving Zexion fondled his lower half.
Roxas pretended he didn't even see Axel follow him towards the jukebox. He put in the money and selected a song. Axel laid his hand on Roxas' shoulder.
"I'm sorry about the night at the bonfire Roxas. I wasn't being myself" Roxas froze, was his plan really working?
"Sure, whatever you say Axel" He brushed off Axel and blew a kiss towards Tidus. Axel growled under his breathe.
"How can you stand that guy? That guy's brain is made of air. He's a total retard" Roxas faced Axel and made a stern face.
"How can you like some guy who thinks fondling you in a public place appealing?" Axel shook his head. "I don't, I hate the guy actually" Hate? What was Axel doing with him in the first place?
"Anyways, why do you care who I am with, Roxas?" Axel teased.
"Why do you care if I am with Tidus?" Axel crossed his hands over his chest.
"Because that guy is a total loser, I could run circles around that stupid jock. His brains are in his biceps." Roxas rolled his eyes.
"Really? I'd like to see you try. I bet you couldn't make a single sports team. If you do, you can take me to the dance." Roxas slapped himself, what was he doing? He didn't want to show Axel that he still loved him.
"What makes you think I want to take you to the dance?" Axel inquired smirking. Roxas agreed, what reason did Axel have to want to take him to the dance?
"Or do you want me to go with Tidus?" Axel gulped and blushed a bit. "You're on, I'll make a sports team, and I'm going to take you to that stupid dance" Roxas was stunned, Axel really did accepted his proposal! As soon as they shook hands they noticed five heads next to them.
"Err, hi guys!" Demyx smiled
"Thanks for blowing our cover, Demyx" Hayner smacked Demyx over the head and Demyx made a squeak.
Roxas and Axel walked back to their tables, as if nothing had happened. Axel kissed Zexion passionately, and when Roxas saw this he suddenly kissed Tidus with even more passion. They glared at each other, while their dates were dumbfounded.
------Conventionality belongs to yesterday------
A week had passed since that night at moogle palace. Zexion still was calling Axel, thinking they had a chance, while Tidus somehow got the school to believe Roxas and him were going out. The school dance was in a week, and even though Axel hated dances, no way would he let Tidus take Roxas. Axel rather die than have that happen. Sports tryouts were today, and Axel was ready. If his friends saw him, they'd be laughing their asses off, Axel the jock? Too good to be true, perfect school gossip.
Axel walked over to the gym. He saw Coach Saix, and sighed. This was a nightmare, but this was the only way to prove to Roxas that he still cared for him.
"What are you doing here Mr. Axel?" Axel was smoking a cigarette and Coach Saix grabbed it from him and threw it on the ground.
"I'm going to try that school spirit shit, and join a sports team" Axel couldn't believe what he was saying. The coach was in utter shock, Axel wanting to be on a sports team? Was this some sick joke, or did hell just freeze over?
"Well then, first you need to change" Axel blinked "That's what I'm here for" Coach Saix sighed. "Your clothes Mr. Axel, your clothes" Axel made an 'oh' face and was handed a PE uniform.
Axel changed and Coach Saix had brought him to a basketball court.
"First, cut down on smoking" he grabbed the cigarette pack from Axel's hand and put it in his pocket. "Second, this is basket ball, do you know how to play?"
"Psh, course I do I'm not retarded like your other minions" Saix rolled his eyes and handed Axel the basket ball. He blew the whistle, and Axel began dribbling the ball. The other player stole the ball away from him. He looked for the son of bitch who took it, and ran up to him.
"Why the hell did you steal the bal from me? Don't you know who I am? I am AXEL! Got it memorized you stupid jock?" Axel then punched the other player in the stomach and grabbed the ball back. Saix couldn't watch and blew the whistle, this wasn't going to work.
The next sport Saix wanted Axel to try was wrestling. It wasn't too hard, and being physical was a good thing in this sport. Too bad his partner weighed four times more than Axel.
"Axel, this is Lexaeus" Axel gulped, this guy was massive.
"You've gotta' be shitting me! This guy is at least five hundred pounds!" Lexaeus smiled "I'll go easy on ya Axel".
"No way are you fucking touching me" he then punched the big 'monster' in the gut, leaving Lesxaeus in pain.
"He likes to hit…" Saix mumbled.
"Since you like hitting, maybe you'd be good at baseball" Axel rolled his eyes. This was hell, this was stupid, this was lame.
"Yah, yah, give me the damned bat" He then grabbed the bat from Saix.
"Hey batta' batta'" the pitcher said
"Xigbar, is that you?" while Axel was busy asking, Xigbar had thrown the baseball.
"Hey! Hey! I wasn't ready yet!" As soon as Axel finished another ball had gone by.
"Psh, shut the hell up and hit the ball" the umpire barked.
Axel rolled his eyes, Xigbar threw the ball, and Axel was ready to hit it.
SMACK!
Axel felt something fast and hard had hit his head, he felt dizzy and rubbed his head.
"Xigbar, you cuntface!" He yelled walking towards Xigbar like he was tipsy.
Xigbar was too busy laughing to notice Axel was coming towards him, and when he least expected it he got a punch to the gut.
Saix was about to give up, there was only one sport left for Axel to try out in.
"What do you think about running?" Saix asked Axel.
"Well, I have to run a lot, it's okay I guess"
"How about long distance running?" Saix made a hand motion like wave and Axel just rolled his eyes.
"Yah, whatever let's just try it" Axel began walking over to the track field with Saix.
------There is a chance that we can make it so far------
Roxas was sitting on the bleachers near the track field with Tidus, who had just finished practice. The past week had gone smoother than he ever imagined. He had officially got inducted into the somebodies, and finally got used to the school. The only thing that bothered him was how empty he felt. He didn't love or even like Tidus, like most people thought. Tidus was a good friend, but Roxas wanted Axel back into his life. Though, neither of them would admit to still loving each other.
"Hey, I'm going to get some water, okay Roxas?" Tidus woke Roxas up from his thoughts. "Um sure, okay" Roxas kept looking at the field; he heard rumors Axel was actually trying to make a sports team. Did Axel do it for him, or just to annoy Tidus?
Roxas blew the hair from his eyes and saw someone, he first thought they were new but it was…Axel? Axel was running, jumping hurdles. He wasn't bad at all actually, but actually was doing quite well. Roxas sat up and watched Axel. His lengthy body accommodated with the long leaps and jumps well, not to mention the fact the track shorts showed off his well toned legs. Then Axel looked straight at Roxas, and didn't stop looking at him. Roxas froze and started to blush.
"Roxas, you should tell him that you love him" Roxas turned around to see a somber looking Tidus. "Tidus, I-" Tidus shook his head.
"I see the way you look at him, Roxas. You can't deny it" Roxas nodded then felt bad.
"I'm sorry-" He felt a pair of strong arms wrap around his body. "I just wanted to hug you one last time. Now go and tell him that you love him, alright?" Tidus weekly smiled, and Roxas smiled back.
Axel saw Tidus hug Roxas, and grunted. Without realizing it, he missed the last hurdle and tripped. His body hit the clay ground, he felt so embarrassed. Right in front of Roxas and his stupid little jock. "Axel!" Axel turned his head to see Roxas jump down to the ground from the bleachers. By this time Axel had picked himself up, and sat down on the ground.
"Are you okay Axel?" Roxas grabbed his shoulder but Axel removed it.
"At least talk to me Axel, I know I've been horrible to you, but you've been just as bad" Axel faced him. "Hey, I wasn't the one who pushed you off a 10 foot tree-" Roxas smiled. "Ha, I got you talking" Axel sarcastically chuckled and stood up, brushing the dirt off him.
"Why did you come over here? I thought your little jock didn't like you around me" He crossed his arms and stared at Roxas.
"We were never really together, you know. How about you and that guy?"
"Zexion? He's been bugging me, but I don't like him anymore" Roxas blinked, and tried to get the courage to tell Axel he still loved him, but the friction between them hurt so much.
"Axel I…" Axel placed a finger on Roxas' lips.
"Don't say anything, you're going to ruin the moment" Axel bent down and slowly kissed Roxas. Roxas wrapped his arms around Axel's thin frame, and felt like melting. He missed Axel's warmth, and he finally found the Axel he fell in love with other the summer.
"I know I've done some stupid things Roxas, I've let people mold me into something I never wanted to be. When I met you at the beach I didn't need to live up to this mold my friends made. I was once myself, and I didn't need to worry about my image. I want to feel that again, Roxas, so bad you don't know how bad" Roxas still had his arms wrapped around Axel and had closed his eyes. "Just shut up and hold me Axel" he mumbled. Axel smirked and held Roxas tightly. He forgot the massive amount of people watching him, he just didn't give a damn. Nothing would let him ruin this moment. Axel grabbed Roxas' hand "Let's go to the beach, for old times sake" Roxas nodded.
------We start believing now that we can be who we are------
Roxas was asleep on Axel's chest. The sun had already set, and it was around nine o'clock. The sound of the waves put Axel at ease, and he finally got away from everyone.
Axel gently kissed Roxas' forehead and his eyes slowly started to flutter open.
"Axel, this better not be some dream…AHH! It's night already!" Roxas jumped up, accidentally getting sand on Axel's face and air. Axel spit the sand out of his mouth, brushed some of the sand off, then got up.
"Oh Axel I'm so sorry!" Roxas tried to brush the sand off Axel's hair but was too short.
"It's fine, let's get dinner, okay?" Brushing off most of the sand on him.
"Sure, but, ugh. I forgot my stuff at school" Axel rolled his eyes and smiled.
"Don't worry about it, I bet Kairi or Sora picked it up for you" He grabbed Roxas' hand and they jumped into his car.
------Grease is the word, is the word, that you heard------
The regulars at moogle palace seemed to of packed the place. It was Friday night, the busiest day. The two gangs where there, eating dinner as usual.
"So who is going to front the bill this time?" Riku asked the group. Everyone said not me, and Riku sighed. That meant he had to front the bill.
"I wonder where Axel is" Hayner said "I wonder where Roxas is" Sora quickly commented. "Do you think…?" Namine looked at the two other boys.
"Maybe they got back together?" Kairi suggested.
"Does that mean I can hook up with Zexion?" Demyx whispered to Kairi
"NO!" Kairi yelled
"Aww, come on. After the whole emotional abuse and cold persona he isn't a bad person…" Demyx got glares from everyone. "Okay, maybe he is…"
Cloud kept staring at Leon, he seemed off today. He hadn't spoke the whole time, and seemed like he was lost in his thoughts.
"Hey, you okay? Cloud asked Leon quietly
Leon glared at him. "Yes, why do you care?" Cloud blinked, what did he do now?
"Ugh, I still have all those bites you gave me from yesterday" Leon moaned at Cloud.
"When did you start complaining about my love bites? Last night you were asking for more" Cloud teased.
"Maybe I only say I like them, to make you happy" Leon sneered.
"When did you start thinking about others before yourself?" Cloud barked
"At least I don't put someone I hate, before someone I love. I'm leaving, go to hell Cloud" With that Leon was out the door, almost mowing down the incoming customers.
The table was silent and still in shock from what just happened.
"WHAT!" Cloud yelled at the table, he grabbed his burger, then set it down, he wasn't hungry. "I'll ask him what's wrong tonight. He's been acting weird since this morning" Kairi reassured Cloud. "I'm leaving" He got up and mowed down another couple coming in.
"What is with this drama we've been having?" Demyx sighed
"No idea…" Hayner took a sip of his malt and shrugged his shoulders.
Axel secretly pulled Roxas through the crowd of people. He saw that his friends where here, and that was the last thing he needed. He wouldn't have come here at all, but Roxas insisted on it.
"Axel what's wrong?" Roxas asked rubbing his arm. They finally got a spot the farthest away from the group.
"Nothing, I swear. I just want us to be alone, you know?" Axel set up a menu in front of the two of them to hide their faces. A waiter soon came up to them, and they gave her their order. Soon Axel heard footsteps, and he knew exactly who they belonged to.
"Demyx, I know the sound of your monster feet from any where" Their peace was interrupted, and Axel was not please. Roxas smiled and waved as the group relocated to their table. Demyx pulled over another table, sat down next to Axel.
Kairi sat next to Namine, who had sat herself next to Roxas. Hayner had sat next to Demyx, and Riku had sat across from Sora, who was next to Kairi.
"Aww, are you two back together?" Demyx teased puckering his lips.
Axel pushed Demyx's face with his palm and sighed.
"Oh, Roxas here is your stuff, you left it at school" Sora gave Roxas his backpack, and Roxas mouthed 'thanks' to him.
"You still didn't answer his question Axel" Riku reminded Axel. Roxas looked at Axel, and Axel gave a 'what should I say?' face to him. Roxas shrugged his shoulders.
"I guess you can say that" Axel mumbled.
"Oh, I just remembered, the school dance is in a week, who is going?" Kairi asked the group.
"Well, Sora wants to go, so I guess I am going" Riku got giggle from Sora and a kiss on the cheek.
"I'm going for sure, I can't wait to crash it" Demyx said
"You can't, they have extra security. Supposedly some news station is going to broadcast our dance live" Hayner added
"Wow, why would they want to do that?" Namine asked
"No idea, Roxas you're going with Axel, aren't you?" Hayner asked, Roxas nodded, blushing a bit.
"I still can't believe I'm going" Axel moaned
"Well I could take Ti-"
"No, no, no! That's fine I'm going with you, and that is settled" Everyone laughed and Roxas kissed Axel on the cheek.
"Well, it's getting late, we should all go home" Sora said
Roxas looked at the clock, it was already eleven thirty, his aunt was going to kill him.
The group started to spread apart instantly. Hayner and the two girls went in one car, Demyx had to beg a ride from Riku and Sora, who obliged after hearing the constant whining from Demyx, and Roxas and Axel were the only ones left.
"Roxas, do you want to come home with me? My parents are gone" Axel asked nervously. He hoped Roxas wouldn't think he was some dirty pervert, he just wanted alone time with him.
"Well I don't know, my aunt is already-" Roxas saw the disappointment on Axel's face.
"Ah, forget her. I'm already in a shit-load of trouble so why not?" Roxas smiled and began walking with Axel.
Notes: That was like a rollercoaster. So Roxas and Axel are finally together, will it last? Well it all depends. What's wrong with Leon? Will Axel and Roxas do it? Haha, just kidding. Will there be a lime scene for Riku and Sora? Yes I promise you! Who will Leon bring to the dance? Who with Cloud bring to the dance? What will happen at the dance? So many questions and all of them will be answered in the next chapter. Thank you for reading and please review!
