AN: I don't want to seem mean, but I am disappointed by my 2 comments I got on the last chapter. Please if you read, a review is easy. Even a simple 'Hey that was awesome can't wait for the next chapter." is greatly appreciated. Plus, the AKUROKU-ness is starting to evolve.

Just like a Freshman

By Teiraa Strikes Again

Chapter Three

"Roxas!" a cry could be heard throughout most of the airport. Not surprisingly, the sound was made by a very excited brunette running out of the loading area.

The boy ran through the crowded area and leaped on an identical looking boy, this one however had blonde hair.

The blonde started to loose oxygen thus the hacking and coughing began.

A woman said "Sora, let him go he can't breath" as she laughed and peeled her sons apart.

"Mom!" Sora yelled as he released Roxas (who took in a huge breath of air and sank to his knees) and hugged his mother with the same intensity he had with his twin.

She hugged him back. "Sora we missed you so much!" Roxas could tell she was trying not to cry.

Roxas looked back and forth between Sora and his mother. He had almost forgotten how much the to looked alike. She was short like both of them, about 5' 2". But her and Sora shard the same chestnut brown hair and sweet, bubbly personalities. Roxas could feel himself start to smile.

That was until a tall, blonde man in a business suit stepped up to the huging pair and put his hand on his wife's shoulder. "Molly your crushing him now." he said just as Sora's face started to turn a shade bluer.

"Oh sorry honey, I am just excited to have you back, the house has been so quiet without you!" She said as she released him from her bone crunching grip. He also, fell to his kness holding his ribs.

Roxas knew this remark should probably offend him but who was he kidding, Sora did always seem to brighten up the family.

The twins father, pulled the brunette to his feet and then stuck out his hand for a very manly hand-shake.

Sora took the hand and tried his best to give it a manly shake. However this is Sora we are talking about and manly-ness seems not to compute in his brain.

"Nice to see you son." The man said.

"You too Dad!" Sora exclaimed, trying to keep the disappointment from his face. It seemed that everyone bought it, well everyone except for Roxas.

They could never keep secrets from each other. Roxas assumed it was a twin thing.

"Alright lets go find your luggage, it's late." Their father said.

Sora walked into his new house filled with awe and excitement. His eyes lit up like the forth of July, and he dropped his suitcase… right onto his brothers foot.

He took off up the left side f the huge double staircase before Roxas could even yell "OUCH!". He would have been mad if he hadn't remembered his first time walking into this house.

It was truly breathtaking. It was a very regal 3 stories high and was located in a very rich neighborhood that over looked the water, and had a view of Seattle. It was full of fireplaces, spiral staircases and all the luxuries anyone would eve want.

Roxas' room even had a huge bay window, a walk-in closet and it's own bathroom. Sora's room was pretty much identical, but he figured that if he didn't find Sora soon he might get lost in the big house and Roxas would never get the chance to show him the fantastic room.

"Well If anyone needs me, I'll be in my office." Roxas' father said as he walked away

'Good old Dad always wanting quality family time' thought Roxas. He figured it was time to find Sora but as he walked off in the direction Sora had ran his mother yelled after him "I'll have his bags brought up for him, after you help him unpack a little, come down and the three of us will have hot chocolate.

Roxas nodded to her and proceeded to jog after Sora. He found him wandering in the hall that led to guest room and the game room.

"A little lost So?" He laughed, Sora turned around with a sheepish grin on his face.

"Um… can you show me where my room is?" he laughed as he scratched the back of his head.

The boys went up another floor and found Sora's room, which was conveniently right next to Roxas'.

Sora opened the door, practically oozing excitement. He squeeled when he saw it and ran around the whole thing, including the bathroom and the closet in about 7 seconds.

"Roxas it's huge!" he said as he shook Roxas' arms. He fought back the urge to say 'that's what she said.' and just nodded.

"Do you want me to help you unpack?" Roxas offered.

"Yes, and I have a couple new posters that you're ganna be so jealous of!" Sora replied.

Axel walked into first period, Japanese. Their was nothing worse than starting off your day being forced to speak a different language.

Today, like most days, was barely awake as he slid into his seat. His venti soy vanilla latte from his favorite coffee house starbucks never left his hand. If Axel didn't have his starbucks in the morning, he'd never make it through the day.

Because of this, Axel though he was imagining things when Roxas walked through his door an headed straight for Fujigami-sensei.

The redhead watched as Roxas engaged in some sort of conversation with his teacher. He took a sip of his coffee and squinted at the boy. Something was different about it.

'What? Why would Roxas dye his hair brown, the blonde was sooo hot.' Axel self consciously asked himself. 'And he doesn't seem to see me.'

In fact this brunette Roxas seemed to be giving him a strange look, he seems to be confused at why the redhead was staring so diligently at him.

Axel was more than frustrated now. He took a long last swig of him coffee and stood up to throw his empty cup away. Brown haired Roxas' eyes seemed to widen as he stared at the red head.

'Wow. I wasn't aware anyone could be this tall, and he's got the hair, the eyes, the height, the tattoos. This has to be Axel.' Sora thought to himself.

Out of the blue, a crash was hear from out in the hallway and the teacher, forgetting all about his new student, ran out into the hallway making sure no one was trying to steal and trophies… again…

Axel smirked at his teachers 'omg' run and dropped his cup into the trash. He looked back at Roxas but then was struck with a very important fact about today.

"Sora?" he almost whispered as he looked down at Roxas' twin brother.

The brunette did not look like he was afraid of Axel or the least bit timid like his brother. In fact he seemed to be quite outgoing because he looked Axel point blank in the eyes and said "HI AXEL I'M SORA!!!" with the biggest smile anyone's ever seen.

Axel chuckled. "You are nothing like your brother are you kid?" He asked with a smirk. He didn't even mean for that to be the first thing out of his mouth, but it was what his mind was thinking so he thought, 'what the hell.'

The kid (thank god) didn't take any offense but only smiled bigger.

"So you are Axel!" he shouted and began jumping up and down.

Axel laughed and started to walk back to his seat secretly shocked that Roxas would talk about him to his brother. He'd always just thought Roxas hated him… But that wasn't going to stop Axel from thinking about him… scandaly clad… on his knees…

'Not the time for this' Axel mentally restrained himself. Remembering Sora he turned around and said, 'Yeah that's the name, got it memorized?" he said and pointed to his temple. It was his kind of his signature thing. No he would not just grow up and get over it…

Sora followed him to his seat and plopped down in the seat next to.

"Got it." The brunette said quite seriously.

After a moment of awkward silence and Axel getting a little creeped out by Sora's staring the redhead decided to ask "So how did you know who I was?"

"Your not getting any of the juicy details out of me, all I'm saying is you look exactly like Rox described you." Sora said as he started to take out his new text books.

"So how did he describe me then?" Axel said, the smirk returning to his face.

"I-I said no juicy details!" Sora stammered.

"Well then that's all I need to know." Axel said, satisfied.

Sora was confused. "huh?" he asked.

"Now I know that there were some juicy details." the redhead replied.

Second period, Axel walked into Lit just as the bell was ringing. Miss Trueheart gave him a stern look, but he just shrugged and took his sweet time walking to the back of the class.

He looked over at his blonde companion who was, like usual not looking back at him, but instead ignoring him for doodling on the cover of his English notebook.

Axel couldn't help but stare at the way Roxas' face was scrunched up in concentration. His eyes were intently focused on his doodle and almost seemed cloudy to Axel. His lips were parted in concentration and the redhead felt like he'd never be able to take his eye's off those moist, jui-

"Is there any particular reason your staring at me today Axel?" Roxas said, his eyes never moving from his drawing.

Axel was taken aback, but soon regained his composure.

"No, I'm just trying to decide who was cuter. You or that brother of yours." He replied.

A lump formed in Roxas' throat. He didn't know why this pissed him off so much it just did. He took his eyes off his drawing to shoot a death glare at Axel.

"Oh so I take it that you met Sora." He ground out.

"That's right, and he seemed to be far more friendly than you are Roxy." Axel said smuggly, mistaking Roxas' look for his usual coldness.

This actually stung in Roxas' heart a little. He knew Axel was just trying t get a reaction out of him, but couldn't somebody like hi better than Sora for once.

"Well that's great. So now you can just leave me alone and hang with your best buddy Sooo-ra." He said in a particular icy tone.

This was starting to piss Axel off. Why was Roxas being such a bitch?

"Maybe I will. At least he'd have some type of personality." and with a sharp turn of his head Axel tore his furious gaze away from Roxas.

His jade eyes burned into the back of the kid's head that sat in front of him for a few seconds before he heard rustling next to him and then loud footsteps as Roxas ran out of the room.

'Come on Rox keep it together.' the blonde told himself. He would not start crying, at least not until he was safe in the boys lavatory.

After what seemed like an hour Roxas burst into a thankfully empty bathroom, crashed into a stall and then finally let the tears fall from his eyes.

All he wanted, was just for once. Someone to prefer him over Sora. Someone who liked him for him, and didn't wonder why he didn't act more like his brother.

It hurt even more coming from Axel. Roxas couldn't deny it anymore, he desperately wanted Axel to acknowledge him, not sarcastically, not as a piece of ass, but as Roxas. The blonde wanted someone to listen to him and to care about him. He had finally realized that he wanted Axel to be that person.

But Roxas realized this was like trying to catch Santa Claus, or the Easter bunny. It was impossible and no matter how much you wanted to catch 'em and keep them for yourself you simply couldn't. Axel didn't care about him, Axel didn't care about anyone.

Roxas stayed in there for about 10 more minutes letting every single tear he'd bee holding in fall onto his blazer, his khaki pants, and even his book bag. Trying to hold the sobs in, he didn't need anyone hearing him. Even with all his methods a few gasps and whimpers escaped his lips.

When the tears began to dry and Roxas started to think, 'whatever, I'm never going to be able to change anything so there's no use being sad over it.' he stood up off the toilet and opened the stall door. He took a quick peek to make sure he was still alone before he stepped into the common space of the bathroom. The blond stared at himself in the mirror, almost not recognizing himself.

His eyes were red and swollen they probably would look like that for most of the day too. His face also seemed to be redder and puffier. His cheeks were still wet and his face hurt from the force of his crying. He bent himself over the sink and splashed cool water on his face. Next he grabbed a fistful of paper towel and roughly dried his face, the scratchy towels irritated his already raw skin.

Roxas turned back to the mirror to see if his face had improved at all. He jumped almost a full foot when he saw a tall boy with very tan skin and long silver hair standing about 3 inches behind him.

When the small blonde boy spun around the larger boy grabbed him by his arms and pushed him up against the wall.

Roxas let out a squeek as his big blue eyes looked up in terror at his captor.

Hateful auburn eyes glared down at him. The mans voice when he spoke was like smooth poison.

"Look at how innocent you look." He paused to chuckle at Roxas' continued horrified look. "I'm going to have fun with you today."
