Chapter 2: Weird Conversations

For the first time in a long time, I felt like I was going to puke. Why? Because Axel was sitting across from me at the dinner table, and almost every time I would try to shallow a piece of the lasagna me and mom had spent the afternoon slaving over, he would look at me and my stomach would fill with butterflies. His emerald green eyes would lock with mine, and I would lose all sense of what I was doing. It was awkward, having someone look at you and somehow you would just freeze up, it was also causing weird looks from Reno and my mom. And all Axel did was sit there and smirk, as if he was enjoying making me act like this.

God! Why is he making me act this way?!

XxxX

Eventually, dinner ended, and I thought I would be able to go hide in my room for the remainder of the night, hiding from Axel and any more awkward moments. I was wrong. Right when I was heading for the stairs, I heard mom call my name from behind.

"Roxas, where are you going? We still have dessert, and then Reno rented a movie I thought we could all watch."

Why me?

"Alright mom, I'll be there in a minute."

I turned around and reluctantly headed back towards the kitchen. I sat down, realizing that Axel was still sitting across from me.

Just ignore him Roxas, just act like he isn't there at all and maybe you'll be able to get dessert down without feeling nauseous.

I managed to shove dessert down my throat with no problems. But then I realized we still had the movie to get through. As we headed into the living room, I noticed that because mom and Reno would probably take over the couch so they could have extra room, that left only the floor, and the love seat for me and Axel. I quickly headed over to the love seat and plopped down before Axel could even get halfway across the room.

Please sit on the floor, please.

It was rude of me I know, to make a guest sit on the floor while I got the comfortable love seat all to myself. And I felt bad, but I didn't want to risk having any more awkward moments between me and the fiery red-head. Unfortunately, mom noticed my rude behavior to.

"Roxas! How could you be so rude? Making Axel sit on the floor like that?"

"That alright" Axel said, "I'm sure there's plenty of room for both of us on there."

I groaned inwardly as he headed toward me and I reluctantly moved so he could sit down. I moved all the way over to the side to provide as much space as possible between us, but considering it was a love seat, that didn't amount to much. By the time each of us had gotten settled, there was only about five inches between us. And I became very aware of that fact as soon as the movie started.

XxxX

I didn't think the night could get any worse, but when mom and Reno decided to leave halfway through the movie, leaving me and Axel alone on the love seat; to start plans for the wedding, I became mistaken. So there we were, watching a movie neither one of us probably wanted to watch, with me trying not to be sociable. Unfortunately, it appeared that Axel had gotten bored when the movie was almost over, and he must have decided that I was going to be good entertainment, because the next thing I knew, he was trying to strike up a conversation with me.

"So, Roxas. What do you think of our wonderful parents tying the knot?"

"Why should I care?"

"Now, now Roxas. It's not nice to be rude to people. especially when you take into consideration that we'll be living together soon."

He smirked over at me, and I repressed a shudder. Living in the same house with Axel. Just the thought was enough to give me a headache, and cause the butterflies to make a reappearance in the pit of my stomach.

"I can't wait."

"Do I detect a hint of sarcasm?"

"Whatever."

"Geez, talk about grumpy with a capital 'G'. Are you always this angry?"

"No"

"I hope so. I don't know how I'll be able to live with someone whose like this all the time."

"Then stay the hell away from me."

"Aww, did I make little Roxy mad?"

"My name is Roxas, not Roxy."

"Alright, can I call you 'kid' instead?"

"No."

"What about shorty? Can I call you that?"

"No!"

"Well then, I guess we'll just have to stick with Roxy then won't we?"

I looked over to notice that he had that trademark smirk of his on again, and at that moment I wanted to do nothing more than wipe the smirk right of his pretty face.

Wait..what? Did I just refer to Axel's face as 'pretty'?"

I felt a blush creep into my cheeks. Axel noticed too.

"Why are you blushing Roxas? Am I too hot for ya?"

"God! You are so annoying!"

"Did I strike a nerve?"

"No!"

"Then why are you so flustered all of a sudden?"

"I'm not... flustered."

"Uh-huh, suuuure Roxy. Whatever you say."

I stopped myself from commenting further, figuring he'd just find a way to get under my skin again. Instead, I focused on the movie, which turned out to be over. I sighed and got up to take it out of the DVD player and put it back into the little box all DVD's come in, and all the while I felt Axel's eyes watching me.

What is this guys problem?! Can't he go bother his dad or something?

"Here."

I handed Axel the DVD, trying to avoid looking at his face.

"What do you want me to do with it?"

"It's your dad's right?"

"Yeah, so why don't you go give it to him?"

I felt my anger rise, and I closed my eyes and started counting to ten, like they told you to do in all those anger issue books. It didn't seem to work for me though. After I had done my counting and opened my eyes, seeing Axel smirk again made me angry again. He laughed, then stuck his hand out.

"Just messing with you kid, no need to get angry. Give it here."

I put the DVD in is open palm, then stalked into the kitchen where I found mom and Reno huddled over piles of papers.

"Mom, the movie is over."

She looked up and smiled at me, "alright, thanks for letting us know, we're almost done in here. Why don't you show Axel around? I'm sure he'd like to get a feel for the place."

I sighed, "sure."

"Thanks sweetie!"

I went back out into the living room where I found Axel in the same spot.

"Mom wants me to show you around the house."

"Aww. Can't I just sit here with my cute little Roxy instead?"

I felt my mouth drop open at his comment, and for what seemed like hours, I just stood there staring at him, trying to process something to say.

"You did not just call me 'cute'"

I know, it was the stupidest comeback ever, but I couldn't think of anything else to say. Axel's smirk grew wider, and I began to get annoyed again.

"Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. Maybe you were just hearing things you wanted to hear."

I chocked back a laugh, "and why would I imagine something like that?"

"I don't know. Maybe you secretly want me."

"Yeah, like that would ever happen."

"You never know Roxas."

Luckily, before anything more could be said between us, Reno came into the living room and announced that he and Axel had to leave. We all headed to the door to say our proper goodbyes, mom giving Reno a peck in the cheek. Axel giving me a wink and a quick wave of his hand.

"Later. Roxy."

"Later. Axel."

I rolled my eyes as he and Reno headed out the front door and out to their car. And after mom had shut the door, she turned and smiled at me.

"Well, I think that went well, don't you Roxas?"

Oh yeah, it went perfectly.

"Yeah mom, it went really well. I can't wait for them to come back and have dinner with us again."

"That's good to hear honey. What did you think if Axel?"

Oh, he was just bundles of fucking fun.

"I liked him, he seems...interesting."

"He does doesn't he?"

"Yeah. Anyways mom, I'm kinda tired, so I think I'm going to head upstairs and get some sleep."

"Alright. Goodnight Roxas. I love you."

"Love you too mom."

I headed upstairs, thinking of everything that had happened this evening. Just the thought of Axel made butterflies appear in my stomach, I still didn't know why, and my anger to boil.

What the hell was up with that guy? Acting all cocky and everything, trying to piss me off for no apparent reason. Having him in the same household is going to suck!

But for some reason, there was a part of me that looked foward to having Axel living in the same house. I couldn't figure out why part of me felt this way, but it started to piss me off nonetheless. But as I crawled into bed and drifted of to sleep, thoughts of the red-head circled around in my head, and I was surprised to realize that thinking about him didn't make me angry at all, instead, I felt oddly...happy.

What is this guy doing to me?

XxxX
