IMPORTANT AUTHORS NOTE.

I just got so fed up with my typos and mistakes that I went back and fixed them. Some of which are important to the story. You can go back and reread if you want to but you don't have to. Mostly, Roxas doesn't say a word in any chapter, so he's actually MUTE.

I just figured that I'd have to do it sooner or later. I'm such an awful writer. I start writing a fanfic and then when I get into it, I want to go back and change everything :( I really need to learn how to plan these things out. Anyway. I hope this doesn't throw all you guys off.

Plus, I'm sorry that this chapter is so short. I'm just tired and stressed from school and I wanted to get it over with. Like.. seriously. I wish I could find more time to write :(

sweet talk 101

o8 : intermission - panic! at the disco

The sun was too bright while the air was too cool. Roxas rolled over in the grass, pulling the hood of his sweatshirt over his eyes. All around him kids walked and chatted with each other, waiting for the school doors to open.

It was somewhat strange, how all the voices seemed to rise into a mismatched harmony. It was like people were afraid of the silence, so they filled it up with the only thing they could - their voices. Sometimes, it was awful to listen to. The voices would make fun of each other, accuse each other, scream like broken violins. But sometimes, they were kind, soft voices, the ones that lulled you into sleep.

Roxas listened to all those voices. His own voice was weak, on the edge of breaking out, yet cracking at the last moment only to retreat again. In his mind, the words came easily to him, flowed freely. But from his mouth, they were nothing but an empty breath of air. Roxas envied them. No matter how mismatched they were, at least they still had their voices.

Roxas glanced back down at his iPod before feeling something jab into his side. He groaned, squirming away.

"Wake up sleepy head," Sora's voice sang out sweetly, right into Roxas's ear.

Roxas squirmed again and let out an annoyed breath of air.

"Yes, you have to."

The blonde boy remained still

"Get. Up." Sora reached over, poking Roxas in the side. Said blonde tried to scoot away from the offending digit. "C'mon, man! It's only Monday!"

Roxas smacked Sora's hand away and gave and exhasperated sigh, staring up at the sky as though wishing it would take him someplace far away from here.

Monday and I already wish it was friday, Roxas thought, still looking up desperately at the sky.

"Aw, boo, you're such a killjoy," Sora said, as though reading Roxas's mind. He was actually getting pretty good at that.

Roxas rolled his eyes and pushed himself off the ground. He brushed the grass off his pants and threw his bag over his shoulders. Sora smiled, following his twin inside the school building.

"Did you talk to Hayner, Pence and Olette?"

Roxas flicked his eyes towards Sora and nodded.

"Online."

Roxas gave Sora a look that said "duh, stupid."

Sora laughed, lifting his hands up innocently. "Are they okay over there without you?"

Roxas smiled and shrugged lightly.

They headed towards Sora's locker first because it was closer. Roxas took down the small whiteboard and marker that hung on the door while Sora got all his books.

Did you hear from Riku or Kairi yesterday?

"Nah. Kairi didn't call or anything. And.. Riku's just.." Sora trailed off, as though in a daze and then shrugged.

Roxas frowned at the small whiteboard and then set back against the metal door. His eyes suddenly widened when he saw who was walking down the hall. He grabbed Sora's shoulders and whirled him around.

Sora blinked and then groaned. "Aww, no!"

Axel and Riku were coming there way. Shit.

"Quick, run!" Sora grabbed Roxas's hand and practically dragged him down the hall.

"..See? I told you they would run," Riku told Axel, scowling after the twins.

Axel scoffed, rolling his eyes. "Then we'll just have to run after them, moron."

"You do know that since they're together, they can probably punch our lights out?"

"Then let's spilt 'em up. You go this way, I'll go that way."

The first floor went around in a square, so Riku bolted off in one directed while Axel went the opposite way. Just as Axel had suspected, they cornered the two boys in the middle of the next hallway. Roxas was all too happy to give Axel the finger.

"Christ, you guys," Axel grumbled. "We just wanted to talk to you two, okay? No need to run."

Sora and Roxas exchanged similar glances. Roxas suddenly shoved Sora in Riku's direction. The brunette sprinted past Riku and down the stairs while Roxas literally jumped through Axel's legs and went the other way around.

"You're joking," Riku groaned.

"Here, you go corner Sora and I'll go corner Roxas."

Riku made a face but did as he was told (for once). Axel, meanwhile, sprinted off after Roxas. Being the one with extremely long legs, he easily caught up to the blonde and cornered him against hte library door. It was a good thing that no one was there yet.

"Will you calm the fuck down?" Axel hissed, bracing his hands on either side of Roxas's head. The blonde stared back coldly, looking like he wanted nothing more than to kick Axel where it hurt. but he didn't. He edged back against the wall as much as he could.

Axel sighed and shook his head. "Look kid. I just want to tell you something."
