14.
Roxas watched Axel as he caught his breath and drank water. God how he'd love to be that cap. (It was the kind of bottle you pull, instead of twist to open.) "So…" He drawled but was cut off guard as Axel turned, giving him his full attention.
"So."
"So… what's up?" FACE-FRIKKING-PALM. What's up? What's up? Are you serious?
"Eh... Nothing, how about you...?" Oh God, way to start with the awkward…He groaned.
"Nooooothing..." This wasn't turning out so hot.
"Okay..." Yay -insert conception of homosexual infant here-. This is awful! I've barely talked to him one-on-one for two minutes and already we're running out of conversation. He groaned again. Out of habit, he tucked his bottom lip under his teeth, wracking his brain for what to do next.
So he didn't quite follow when Axel spontaneously leaned over and pinched his cheek. "Aw, aren't you adorable?"
The surprised blond un-bit his lip to ask, "What the hell...?"
"You look like a little child!"
"Do not!" He cried and swatted the hand away. Thankfully, the blush this time could be because of the aforementioned pinching. That did not, however, explain his other cheek… He slooowlyy rotated his neck.
"Nah, you're right... You're not innocent enough to be a child."
"Say what?" Roxas gaped.
"You heard me." He smirked slyly then his voice dropped about an octave lower -the octave that oozed egoism, cockiness, and sexual forwardness. "You're having naughty thoughts about me. You totally want this."
Roxas spluttered, but hoped it sounded more like an indifferent scoff. "What makes you think that?"
"You just can't get enough of me." Axel winked.
Roxas scoffed once more, hopefully keeping secret that Axel hit the nail on the head. "Whatever helps you sleep at night…Or in this case, whatever helps you get tired enough until you pass out."
Axel barked with laughter, to which Roxas couldn't help but smile at. Oh God, I've got it bad… "You've got wit." Compliment? "I like that." Is he trying to make me wet myself?
HAHA! –Inner victory dance– I knew my blue comments would come in handy one day ~ "Interesting." The thread approaches the eye.
Axel noticed the pensive expression upon his face. "What're you thinking about?"
"I'm thinkin' about whether or not you'd like to see such wit again. On another occasion, perhaps." Wow, even Axel automatically noticed how obvious his intentions were. Roxas had said this pretty seriously with a sincere smile, but that didn't stop a grin from rising to the redhead's lips the second Roxas had uttered 'see' and 'again.'
[I LAST TIME I FREAKED OUT, I KEPT ON LOOKIN' DOWN. I ST-T-TUTTERED WHEN YOU ASKED ME WHAT I'M THINKING 'BOUT. FELT LIKE I COULDN'T BREATHE. YOU ASKED WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME. MY BEST FRIEND LESLIE SAID, 'OH SHE'S JUST BEIN' MILEY.' THE NEXT TIME WE HANG OUT. I WILL REDEEM MYSELF. MY HEART CAN REST 'TIL THEN. OO-WOAH-OO-WOAH-OO-WOAH OH I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU AGAIN.]
Excuse him. He just had an all-out GAY moment, and mentally burst into song. The song choice was so not intended, but damn that it was catchy enough to be memorable.
"I wouldn't mind that." Axel's face softened. It was nice. "Listen, I've gotta get home," He said standing up. Roxas almost whined (almost out loud; he did and quite loudly, on the inside.)
"Wanna chill on Saturday?" Thread in the needle!
Roxas smiled so brightly, Axel momentarily forgot that it was sunset.
"Sounds good to me." Smiles are so contagious. Even as he gave a nervous one, Roxas could convince himself that Axel brightened at that. God he was so nervous. This shouldn't be that easy, though he wasn't complaining. Axel just… stepped right in there! It's like when you know the toaster is going to pop up any second, but you're anticipating it so much that when it happens, you twitch/…jump.
"Umm, I have to warn you that," he scratched the back of his head, while scrutinizing the ground. Oh look, bubble-gum. "I'm kinda broke," he admitted. "Would it be cool if we stayed in? Watch a movie or… something." Oh he definitely wanted that 'something'. So much that he didn't even double think of how forward this was. Oh jeez, he just admitted he was poor. Why did he do that? Why?
To his delight, Axel just chuckled. To his chagrin, he also pinched his cheek again. "You're so adorable." He adjusted his backpack and stuck a hand in his pocket. "I'll be there at around noon, alright with you, princess?"
Roxas scowled/pouted. Either way, it supported Axel's perception of him. The senior just laughed and started for the parking lot.
It was safe to say that Roxas was love-drunk. He watched Axel go for about 5 seconds, until he called out, "Do you need my address?"
The tall boy turned around. "You're Riku's next door neighbour, right?"
Oh yeah. Quiet, embarrassed laughter arose from the blond. "Yeah…" Hehe…shut up, Roxas. Shut up. He gulped. Axel just gave a two-fingered salute and walked off once more.
Roxas sat cross-legged on the bleachers, just a little while longer.
He had a date.
Roxas Strife had a date with Axel Fair. That sounded good…
As he stared at the dirt in front of him, a goofy grin that would make Sora proud just could not be held back.
And that's when Axel passed by the court in his car.
End of Wednesday
