A/N Ipeelyourbanana8'D: OMG! I'm sorry this took so long for me to write! Xp I was having major writers block! Any way I hoped you liked this chapter. Mamotte is writing the next chapter, so stay tuned!
Women. The only flaw of the human race. I was about to attempt to engage in conversation with Roxas again and who should call him over? Namine. Roxas looked liked he could start singing one of those cheesy love songs. Now mind you I wasn't jealous per se. Just annoyed. I have a boyfriend to go goo-goo eyed over. But there was something in Roxas' charming smile when he saw her that ticked me off. I ignored that for the moment and walked over to join said blonde and Namine.
"Soooooooooo Namine," I said trying to get into the conversation. "Who else is coming tonight?"
"I don't know. I don't think Demyx has invited anyone." She replied, tapping her forefinger to her chin.
"You're coming right?" Yes. If Namine was going, Roxas would be sure to follow.
"Of course." Heh. Pure genius!
"So Roxas, do you like coffee?" I asked as I began to doodle on some scrap paper.
"It...is alright." He muttered. He always seemed so disappointed when he talked to me. Damn. I looked back down at my drawing. I was embarrassed to even try talking to him! Of course being the stubborn bastard that I am, I kept at it.
"So got any hobbies?"
"Well..." Roxas had to think about it for a minute. "I do not really have any hobbies. In France I have no time for hobbies."
"Sooo..What do you do?" No hobbies? Wow, what a drag. He put on another thoughtful face.
"Watch TV?" He shrugged. It looked like I had my work cut out for me. Eh. I'd plan things later.
"I'll bet we'll be able to find you something to do here." I gave him a thumbs up. I was hoping he knew what that meant. Loud clicking got the classes attention and we turned our heads to the doorway. It was odd. I'd never seen this teacher before. He wore black army boots. Hence the sound of the clicking. His hair flowed out behind him, kind of like on of those Japanese Anime characters, like Sesshomaru! Yah, Demyx was an Anime fag. But he was my Anime fag.
"Alright class." He said setting his briefcase down on the desk. Wow. He looked professional. "I'm Mr. Valentine and I'll be your art teacher this year." Oh yah I remembered that Namine said Mr. Leonheart was moving somewhere from last year. Namine took art every year so she would know I guess...She sat there listening intently to the silence Mr. Valentine was giving. Goodie two shoes. Maybe she should take notes on it too. Roxas looked uninterested. Surprise surprise.
"In my class," He began "We don't do mini-projects, sketchbook assignments or any of that rubbish." Okay good. At least the guy was blunt and straightforward. "We will be working on a project for the whole semester. I will pick your partners at random so don't even bother asking."
Everyone groaned except for our little table of three, the suck up girl, the foreign kid and the guy who was a little too over obsessed with the foreign kid. Yah. I'll admit I was...fond of Roxas. I crossed my fingers hoping I was partnered with the little French bundle of sunlight.
"Alright." He pulled out a tin can with paper in it. "First pair is...Selphie and... Tidus." Everyone instantly cracked up at that. Selphie was freakishly in love with Tidus. I think she stole a pair of his underwear from the boys' locker room once. Tidus groaned, banging his head on the desk.
"The next pair will be Axel and..." You can only imagine how much I was hoping. "And...Roxas." I had to literally grip my chair to keep from jumping in the air. Namine seemed to sense my discomfort and gave me a funny look. I turned my gaze over to Roxas. The damn frog just rolled his eyes at me! ME! The nerve of some people! After Vincent had meagerly destroyed the classes liking of him, he furthered the directions on the project. "Now this project can be of any medium and it's up to you to impress me. You'll have time to work on it at home as well as in class. I looked over to Roxas once more. He was hardly paying
attention to what was being said. He was staring at the tip of his pencil, mouth slightly open as he concentrated. I chuckled at how intrigued he looked with the pencil.
"You know, it works better if you put it on the paper."
"It is weird looking..." He remarked, still staring at the pencil tip.
"You're easily entertained aren't you?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"No..." He put his pencil down. "He," He nodded towards Vincent. "Just bores me."
"I totally agree with that. Do you know how to play Tic-Tac-Toe?" Great. I just had to pick the most boring game in the history of mankind.
"No, what is it?" He asked.
"I'll show you." I smiled and pulled out a piece of paper. "Okay. Each person chooses to be the X's or the O's. I'll be O's I guess. So you pick a square to put your letter in. Whoever gets three of the letters in a row first wins the game." I drew out the small grid.
"Oh. Okay." I needed to get him to talk more. I really did. After a moment of putting down our letters I looked up. "Not so hard huh?"
"No." He remarked and stuck a X right below my O in the center square.
"Thought so..." I drew an O next his Roxas' X. "But I win." He looked rather shocked and confused.
"What?" Damn. He thought they could only be in rows, not diagonally. I hit my head.
"Oh Sorry. You can win diagonally too. Wanna restart?" He shook his head.
"It is boring." Everything must have bored Roxas. Jeez. I took a deep breath.
"Say, do you want my phone number?"
"I do not have a phone." He answered. Couldn't he just use the house phone? Maybe he wasn't allowed to.
"Oh." Sometimes I can't control what I say. For example, the next thing that came out of my howling screamer was.
"You should smile more." I got a confused look.
"Why?"
And again, here's another example.
"Because I like your smile. It's nice."
He blushed softly.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." I felt my cheeks turn red as well.
"You know, I can hear you two." Namine said with a slight frown.
"You really are Kairi's evil twin aren't you?" I pouted.
"I am not." She pouted back.
"She has a twin?" He looked amazed.
"No." I chuckled. "But my sister and Naimne are a lot alike."
"Oh." He laughed a little.
"I was going to say," He turned to Namine. "You and I would have had something in common."
"Really? You have a twin?" She asked.
"Oui, mademoiselle." He answered. And here I was left out of the conversation.
"Really?" I was curious too, dammit! "What's his name?"
"Yes." He nodded again. "His name is Ven."
I could have had a nosebleed right then. THERE WERE TWO? Oh God! Double the pleasure! Roxas was just smiling away, oblivious to the thoughts going through my mind.
But Roxas had to be the cuter one! Yah. That had to be it. I probably had the cheesiest smile on his face as I fantasized.
"Axel?" Namine asked. "What are you thinking about?"
"I SWEAR I DIDN'T DO IT!" I admit it. I'm a spaz. When I jumped up out of surprise I flipped out of my seat. And of course when there is a red head idiot falling out of his chair there is laughter.
And what's worse, Roxas didn't even offer to help me up! He was probably laughing the hardest of anyone!
"Mr. Thomas do we have a problem?" Mr. Valentine was certainly not as amused as my fellow peers. He tapped his foot impatiently.
"Yah the chairs here suck." I mumbled under my breath.
"It wasn't the chairs fault." Namine giggled. Roxas had this sly little smirk as he chuckled at me. Maybe this kid wasn't as cute as I thought he was.
The ringing sound of the bell pierced through the incessant laughter.
"Alright class I'll see you tomorrow with an idea of what your projects will be on." I stood up and dusted myself off. Mr. Frenchy Mc. Sassypants pulled his little checkered messenger bag over his shoulder. I was about to say something snide when Namine spoke up, sensing the awkward feeling in the atmosphere.
"What class do you have next, Roxas?"
"Er..." He dug through his bag and pulled out his schedule. "Gym Class."
"Aw! We don't have that together! I can show you the gym if you want."
"That would be very kind of you." He smiled at her. Ug. Women! Gym...I knew I had that sometime. I pulled out my schedule. SCORE! Now I could redeem myself.
"I have gym next period too." I said.
"Oh!" Namine seemed happy just for the sake that Roxas would now have someone to show him around. "Then Axel can show you the way. I'll see you later Roxas." And no goodbye for me. Typical. Roxas didn't seem pleased about this. He was frowning slightly.
"Shall we?" I asked after a couple moments.
"Okay." He sulked and muttered. What the hell was so bad about me?! The kid acted like I had a disease!
"Do I bother you?" I asked feeling a bit annoyed and upset.
"No." He answered. Okay at least I didn't freak him out to badly. "You are just a little weird." Scratch that last comment.
"How so?"
"The way you greeted me in the hall was weird." Oh yah. I had been hitting on him. Shit. "You have those things under your eyes and you just fell out of your chair while yelling."
"They're tattoos and Namine caught me off guard." I pouted and thought for a moment. "Okay, so what do you like about me then?"
"Uh..." He looked at me and shrugged.
"Aw come on! There has to be something!" I urged him on.
"Uh..." He looked me over. "I like how tall you are."
I felt myself smile at how cute he was.
"I like your eyes. They're really pretty." ACK! I was flirting again!
He turned his head away as if to hide something.
"Thank you."
"Axel!" Demyx came running up to me and jumped into my arms.
"It's nice to see you too Dem."
"Last class sucked! I have science this hour."
"Ewww. I have gym. By the way this is Roxas. Roxas this is Demyx."
"Hello." Roxas seemed a little dazed.
"OH! You're the exchange student! Nice to meet you."
Demyx smiled. "Hey Axel, you don't mind if I bring Zexion with me tonight do you?"
"Nope."
"Awesome!" Demyx pecked me on the lips. "See you later!" I waved and then turned to look at a little surprised Roxas.
"Who was that?" well he didn't seem freaked out. Maybe he was bi or something.
"Oh. That's my boyfriend." I rubbed the backed of my head. It was an old habit when I got nervous. But what did I have to be nervous about anyway?
"Ohhh...Who is Zexion?"
"He's Demyx's friend. Why?"
"Just wondering why he would need to ask to bring a friend..." he mumbled. Now that he mentioned it, it was odd.
A few minutes later we were at the gym.
"Alright, herewe are." I said stopping in front of the doors.
"What do we do in this class." I blinked and smiled.
"We play sports and work out."
"Oh." Again, he didn't look too pleased. Maybe he didn't like sports? Aww come on! Who wouldn't love a good basketball game?!
"Everyone gather around. this year we're going to provide uniforms. So pick out your size and go get changed." Mr. Strife pointed to the bins. Cloud Strife was the toughest male teacher in the district. No one dared to deny him. Roxas looked nervous as he pulled out clothes from the bin. I had to contain myself while I pulled out a medium sized uniform. I was going to see Roxas change his clothes!
We grabbed two lockers and I made sure they were right next to each other. I prayed that I didn't have BO. My face grew warm as inch by inch of the blonde's supple chest was revealed. Wow. He was skinny but well built. I took of my shirt as well keeping a subtle eye on the blonde as he pulled off his pants. I couldn't see much but his legs were cute. I could see him blush softly.
Soon enough we were out into the gym. And of course, Roxas was already walking over to the group of girls huddled together. He began to talk to them flashing his beautiful smile. I know it was odd but as I leaned against the bleachers, I felt very envious of that. They didn't deserve Roxas. After about five minutes a loud whistle blew.
"Alright!
We're gonna play a quick game of basketball. Boys against girls." Cloud sat down in his chair. "Girls start with the ball."
I looked over to the girls' side of the court and my world came crashing down around me. I groaned. Kairi was in this class. DAMN! And the devil child was starting with the ball. The game began. I knew something very bad was going to happen. Kairi passed the ball to Olette, and the brunette dribbled down the
court. Wakka tried to block her so when she passed the
ball landed in Roxas' hands. He stood there for a minute blinking at the orange ball in his hands. "RUN ROXAS! GO!" I yelled to him as he looked around franticly. He began to dribble down the court. I was in front of him, attempting to block for him and the next thing I knew he was on top of me. "owwww..."
"Sorry!" He said quickly, blushing and starting to stand up again.
I tried to stand up too but this time I toppled over making Roxas on the bottom. His little face was bright red. I looked at him, suddenly feeling like I was being pulled towards him. I was staring so it was natural that Roxas turned even redder. I inched may face towards his. Everything seemed to slow down and disappear except for the two of us. His eyes seemed to haze over as he brought his face closer to mine. Our lips brushed softly together. And, for a moment, I was in heaven.
