-Continued on from last chapter-

"What class do you have first?" Axel asked, pulling out books from his locker.
Roxas stared dumbstruck at his timetable. Was it even in English?

Axel laughed, immediately recognising why his friend was staring wide-eyed at his timetable. Axel snatched it from his hands and read through it.

"Looks like you got half your classes with me," Axel offered after a minute, "and we have English class first up."

Roxas stared bewildered at his friend.
"Demyx showed me how to read the timetable, after all he is in 11th grade," Axel said in ways of an explanation.

"Anyway you better head to homeroom."

"Roxas are you cheating on me? With a girl no less. How could you?"

Roxas sighed as his best friend's arms wrapped around him from behind, clutching desperately at the front of his shirt. He shook his head when Axel started to pretend sob into the back of his shirt.
He was sitting in English class, talking to a girl who had sat next to him. She was small and pretty, wearing a white dress and sandals. He learnt earlier that the small blonde was called Namine.

He didn't warn her that this would happen though.

Roxas didn't even turn to look at Axel when he replied, "Yes, Axel. Nami and I met 10 minutes ago and now we're planning to run off to get married and spend the rest of our lives together living in Las Vegas."

Axel perked up at the mention of the city famous for gambling. "I hear Las Vegas weddings are the best weddings you will ever have. My uncle Luxord lives there. He says the preacher person sometimes actually gets dressed up as ELVIS PRESELY!" Axel said all traces of sadness and fake crying gone.

Roxas smirked evilly. If Namine wasn't scared at this conversation before, she certainly was now.
"But I'm not going to have you as my best man, Axel," Roxas replied.

Axel gasped theatrically then dug his head into Roxas' back to begin his sobbing all over again.
"I knew you didn't love me!" Axel cried out between sobs.

Roxas ignored him.

"Namine, this fool clutching onto my back is Axel, otherwise known as my best friend," Roxas told the little blonde girl.

"Nice to meet you Axel," Namine said, smiling sweetly.

Axel perked up again but he still didn't remove his arms from around Roxas waist. "You are SO cute! Roxy-chan don't you think she's absolutely adorable!"

Another sigh from Roxas.

"No scaring innocent children Axel."

"1 I wasn't scaring her, 2 she's not a complete child and 3 you like her don't you?" Axel whispered into Roxas' ear.

"She's cute but I don't think she's my type," Roxas turned his head to whisper into Axel's ear.

Namine giggled while watching the exchange. Axel had somehow made his way to sitting on the same chair as Roxas, behind him- hooking one of his legs over the blonde's. His arms still hadn't moved from the blond boy's waist. To complete the picture they were whispering into each other's ears, they're faces not even an inch apart.

"What is your type?" Axel purred moving his head to rest on the younger boy's shoulder.

"I don't really know," Roxas replied, not at all phased by the close physical contact. Axel was resting his head so that his face was turned to the blonde's occasionally brushing against the sensitive spot where Roxas' shoulders and neck met.

"I bet I'm your type," Axel said so that only Roxas would hear. Well, Namine heard but he didn't care.

"Uh... Ax? I think we're creeping out Namine... and the rest of the class," Roxas replied after a moment. Both boys looked up at Namine's giggling face, and the rest of the class' confused gazes.

They still hadn't moved from their rather... close... position.

The first day was basically finding your way around the school so the teacher had just been sitting at her desk reading to pass the time by, but now even she was staring at the two boys.

Axel and Roxas blushed. Well this was awkward... How long had they been staring? If it wasn't for Namine's stifled giggle he probably would have just kept cuddling Axel and continued their hushed conversation.

"What? Are you guys homophobic or something?" Axel finally spoke up. The class was silent for a bit until Kairi, one of the girls sitting at the back spoke up.

"Well we didn't expect a gay couple during the first day of school."

"We're not gay," both boys said simultaneously.

Kairi raised an eyebrow at their position.

Roxas realised just what had made them think that.

"Ax, get off," Roxas said quietly.

"Nooooooo, forget them. They interrupted my Roxy cuddling time," Axel whined, rather loudly, nuzzling further into Roxas neck.
Roxas' face was rivalling Axel's hair at the moment, he was blushing so hard.

An awkward silence filled the room.

"Aku?" Roxas said under his breath, using one of his nicknames that usually got Axel to crack and do his bidding.

Axel didn't even twitch. He must have been determined to get his 'Roxy cuddling time.'

"Axey-kun?" Roxas tried again. He had a few nicknames they made up a while ago, all of them quite embarrassing.

No reply from Axel. The entire class had more or less figured out what Roxas was trying to do, so they remained silent. They wanted to hear the best nickname before they burst out laughing. They were trying pretty hard to not laugh at the moment.

Roxas sighed.

Axel smirked.

...

"Seme-sama?"

...

The 10 seconds of silence were the worst moments of Roxas' life.
Then the laughter began.

The few people who didn't know what it meant turned to their friends for an explanation. When they heard it they shared the amusement as well.

Roxas was pretty sure the people in the other classrooms could hear their class.
It was about 5 minutes of hysterics until the class quietened down to hear how Axel would reply.

Roxas cringed. Curse his best friend. There was no way that Axel would let the embarrassment end there.

"Of course my adorable, submissive Uke-chan," Axel replied moving to sit in his own chair.

The class burst into laughter again.

Even the teacher.

xxXxx

Roxas looked around the cafeteria. It wasn't as crowded as he thought it would be. He saw Hayner, Pence and Olette already sitting at a table close to the centre of the room. He raised his arm to wave. His friends waved back. Roxas started over to sit with them. He claimed the seat between Hayner and Olette at the circular table.

"Hey guys, so how's high school going so far?" Roxas asked.

"Are you kidding? It's awesome! I had gym first up and I absolutely destroyed in dodgeball," Hayner recalled.

"Hayner, didn't I tell you not to hurt anyone on the first day," Olette chastised her friend.

"That's the thing! I didn't hurt anyone," Hayner told the only girl of their group.

"Hey Roxas, where's Axel?" Pence asked the blond boy.

"Huh? He said he would meet me in the cafeteria. Apparently he had to pick something up from the office before he went to lunch," Roxas replied offhandedly.

Olette gave a small giggle. Roxas raised an eyebrow at her strange behaviour. "I heard about yours and Axel's cuddling during English," Olette explained. Hayner and Pence's jaws dropped, staring at the other blond in disbelief.

"I-It wasn't cuddling! He... he was just trying to embarrass me- because I was talking to a girl!" Roxas exclaimed indignantly.

"Ooohh, sounds like he's jealous," Hayner mocked.
"Why would he be jealous? I like him better than any girl," Roxas asked, confused.
His three friends suddenly started laughing, clutching the table for support.

Then Olette paused. "Hey! What about me?"

"No, that's not what I meant. Just like you know how we would never go out with each other because we just do not like each other like that? Well, I like him better than a potential girlfriend," Roxas tried to soothe his friend. This just made him more confused when his friends started to laugh again.
"What's so funny?" he asked.

Before his friends could answer he heard yelling from across the cafeteria.

"Roxy!"

Roxas hung his head in defeat. Would Axel never tire of their ridiculous nick names?

Axel then plopped himself down on the seat beside Roxas. "Hi Hayner, Pence, Omelet! Do you mind if Demyx, Zexion and I sit with you guys? Well, not so much me because if you didn't want me to sit here I would kidnap Roxas across the border and we would get married in Canada," Axel said, pulling a sandwich out of his backpack.

Only Axel would be so casual about kidnapping and fleeing the country.

Hayner, Pence and Olette started to laugh again. Axel stared at them with that signature look. You know the one that says you're starting to doubt their mental health? Yeah, that look.

"What's up with them?" Axel asked Roxas.
"Who knows? They've been laughing at me all lunch," Roxas shrugged.

"You guys are looking lively," Demyx chirped as he and Zexion took seats at the already crowded table.

Hayner had calmed down sufficiently to talk by now, "You should've heard the conversation so far. It was hilarious."

Demyx just shrugged it off. With that the group started to eat their lunch. Hayner had a hot dog bought from the canteen, Olette had a sandwich, Demyx bought chips, Zexion was having a bagel and Pence, despite having a slightly larger build, was having a salad. He ate the healthiest out of everyone Roxas knew.

Roxas looked at the empty table before him. He forgot to bring lunch. He was pretty sure that this wasn't the first- or last- time he would forget.

Suddenly a half a sandwich appeared in his view. He looked up at Axel who was determinedly looking away from Roxas, seeming to be in a conversation with Demyx. Roxas looked at Axel's lunch. It had just been unwrapped and only half a sandwich remained. Of course it was Axel who shared his lunch, despite everyone's comments that he looks anorexic.

Roxas smiled as he picked up the half sandwich and started to eat. Axel finally looked over at him with a small smile on his face before eating his own lunch.

After 20 minutes the bell rang signalling the end of lunch. The group got up and threw away any trash. They then started towards the main class block, talking amongst themselves.

Roxas tugged gently on Axel's sleeve. Axel turned and looked down at his smaller best friend. "What class do I have?" Roxas asked, considering he still didn't have the slightest idea how to read his schedule.

"We have gym. Don't worry, they give you your uniforms during class," Axel answered.

Roxas stared at his timetable, wondering how HPA stood for gym. Wait... am I looking at the right day?

Author's Note: My first day of school I could not understand the timetable to save my life xD I actually had someone drag me around by the wrist for the first couple classes haha.
