A/N: For this chapter, since I'm speeding it up a bit 'cause I'm lazy like that, there's a bit of a recap of sorts. Thank you for reviewing and more shall be said at the bottom! I feel so loved, a little goes a long way. :3
DISCLAIMER: I, Demsa, do not own Kingdom Hearts. Got it? Got it. Good.
Chapter Four: The Bases That Led To The War
The first months of school went all right for Roxas and Sora, once they had gotten the hang of things. Class went fine too, save for the serious injury due to their "lack of focus" as the Dean so fondly called it when he was in a bad mood and needed to let off some steam. But it all was worth putting up with for the first school break had come and no student had any homework, except for practicing, which no one did.
The first break was two weeks long, meaning two weeks to actually meet your fellow peers and upperclassmen. But more importantly to freshmen, meet peers and make plans on how to avoid the uppclassmen. There had already been a few cases of freshmen getting beat up and/or pranked by the seniors, some were rumors while others really did happen.
---
"Come, Roxas, get up! First day of break! First day of break!" Sora shouted as he pounced Roxas. But Roxas was to quick and rolled on his side, leaving Sora to land harmlessly on the bed and not him.
Pulling the covers over his head, Roxas muttered something, but Sora couldn't make out what it was.
"Good morning, my freshmen buddies!" shouted an overly cheerful voice.
"Demyx!" Sora exclaimed as he leaped off Roxas's bed and toward Demyx.
Zexion quietly stepped in, just waving to Sora and not muttering a word.
Roxas just groaned loudly at Demyx's and Sora's loud morning conversation.
Demyx, spotting the very annoyed Roxas, practically pranced over and shook up. "C'mon, Roxy! Get up! I gotta show you and Sora around! It'll be fun!" he said, using his nickname for Roxas.
Sora went back to Roxas and proceeded to do what Demyx was doing in order to get him out of bed, which was playing a good game of Push-Roxas-back-and-forth-between-us-until-he-pops-a-vein-from-anger-and-then-finally-gets-up!
Which was not Roxas's favorite game. Not at all.
And while Roxas was being rocked back and forth between his fellow freshmen and his senior friend, Zexion just quietly watched, bored out of his mind.
"Okay! Enough! Stop it!" Roxas shouted as he pushed Sora and Demyx off the bed.
"Yay! He's up!" Sora and Demyx shouted happily in unison from their positions on the floor.
Roxas got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower, muttering obscene things on his way there.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After Roxas took his shower and got dressed, Sora was ready before him since he woke up first, the four went down to the school grounds.
"Whenever there's a break time, spend it here!" Demyx said, motioning to the vast, courtyard. There were many students just talking or play fighting with each other, but since it was such a large area, everyone had a good space between each other.
They started to talk, well, Demyx and Sora talked, Roxas occasionally threw his two cents in there every now and then, while Zexion just walked with them, not paying attention to what they were talking about. All four didn't have an place they were going to, just walking aimlessly while talking.
They were content with what they were doing until Zexion actually spoke up.
"Hey."
Roxas, Demyx, and Sora tunred around to face Zexion, a bit surprised that he spoke up. Demyx grinned widely, happy that Zexion wanted to speak up on his own, not needing Demyx to force him to say something like he was used to doing.
"What, Zexy?" Demyx asked.
"Someone's car is beeping." He simply said, pointing to his left.
"You mean one of the teacher's car?" asked Sora. Roxas shuddered slightly, remembering Mr. Xigbar's crazy ass driving.
"No, where Zexy's pointing is where students old enough to drive park. We should check it out!" Demyx said. He grabbed Roxas and Sora, who grabbed Zexion, and started to run to the student parking lot.
"What's the rush?" asked Roxas as he was being dragged to the parking lot.
"Just curious..." Demyx answered, still running.
The parking lot was slightly hidden by the trees, but once you got through the trees, you could see the large parking lot full of many cars clearly.
"The beeping is coming from over there." Zexion stated, pointing to his right. Demyx let go of Roxas and Sora, to their relief, and lead the way.
Demyx walked back into the trees, saying just in case someone was breaking into someone's car, they wouldn't be seen and could go tell. As they got closer, the beeping got louder. But something else started get louder, laughter and shouting.
Demyx, Sora, Roxas, and Zexion crept closer and hid behind a big tree, so they wouldn't be seen. The four had gotten close enough now to see that there was two people standing by an SUV, which was the thing beeping.
"Hey," Demyx whispered to Roxas and Sora, "if they come over, run, got it?"
"Why?" Roxas whispered back.
"Because there seniors and they're the type of seniors who like picking on freshmen." Zexion whispered.
"Yeah," Demyx whispered, "and I know what they would do to freshmen, they've been talking about it for awhile."
"You know them?" Sora quietly asked.
"Yeah, we hang together and are good friends."
"Which ones? I can't tell from here." Zexion asked.
"Yeah, I can't really make out anything from here..." Roxas stated. Sora nodded with what Roxas had said.
Demyx debated about bringing his freshmen buddies closer to his senior friends. "Uh... I guess so, but don't you dare say anything too loud!"
Roxas and Sora nodded, saying that they would be quiet.
Demyx lead them even closer, close enough to clearly tell who the two were. He crouched down behind a tree and only letting his eyes go above the bush. The other three did the same and looked at the beeping SUV.
"Dammit! The damn thing won't stop beeping! God! I should've checked it before I came here. I thought it would stop by now." shouted one of the boys. He had silky silver hair and almost pale skin. His build was muscular and he was pretty tall too. In his hand, he held the keys, which was probably to the SUV. Anger was obvious in the boy's face. "Shut up!" he screamed, punching his black SUV.
The other senior was even taller, with spiky flame-red hair and a skinny, slightly muscular, frame. The redhead was finding his friend's frustration very amusing and everytime the SUV beeped, he laughed even harder. He was bending over, grasping his sides, from laughter.
"Oh, shut up, Axel!" the silver hair boy shouted as he smacked him on the head.
The smack on the head didn't slow down the redhead, Axel's, laughter. Instead, he looked up at his pissed off friend and said, "Aww, c'mon, Riku, it's funny!"
"No, it is not! Did you know that I almost got a ticket because of this damn thing beeping so damn much? That is not a laughing matter!"
Apparently, it was to Axel, which made him have to sit down to keep himself from peeing his pants.
"How in the hell is this funny!" Riku exclaimed, throwing his hands up in the air for more dramatics.
"It's 'cause your all bent out of shape over this, that's why! You're suppose to be Riku, king of being a cold bastard and crap like that."
"Oh shut up." Riku said, having nothing to say to that.
While all this was happening, Demyx, Sora and Roxas were trying their hardest to supress their growing laughter. Zexion found it highly amusing, but nothing to laugh about, it takes a lot for Zexion to laugh at something funny.
"Hey," Demyx whispered. "we should get going now. I'm starting to get hungry and it's lunchtime."
Zexion, Roxas, and Sora nodded and quietly followed Demyx back to the cafeteria, leaving Riku to be all pissy about his beeping SUV and Axel trying not to piss in the parking lot.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Well, that sure lifted my mood." Roxas said as they were eating lunch. Today they had chicken patties with fries, Sora's favorite.
Sora nodded in agreement, not wanting to spit out the chicken he was currently chewing.
"So, Axel and Riku are just dying to pick on some freshmen without getting caught?" Zexion said with a bored tone as he nibbled on a fry.
Demyx took a long slurp of his water and nodded. "Yup, they've been making plans and stuff. They've been wanting to use me in their plans, but I kept turning them down. I don't wanna pick on freshmen." Demyx leaned over the table and ruffled Roxas's and Sora's hair. "I wanna befriend them!"
Roxas pushed Demyx's hand away and went back to his food, he didn't like it when people messed with his hair. Sora, though, didn't mind, being lost in his wonderful chicken patty.
"So..." Demyx started as he finished his patty, "wanna come over to my dorm tonight to hang? The curfew is lifted during a break. Just as long as no one screws up and does something stupid. Zexy's coming over too."
"Uh, sure, why not? Got nothing else better to do." Roxas said as he popped a fry in his mouth.
"Yeah! Sounds like fun!" Sora happily answered.
"Yay! Well, if you three are coming over, then I better clean up my dorm! It's not good for a host to have a dirty place!" Demyx waved farewell and left to go clean his dorm.
A minute after Demyx left, Zexion finished his food, bid a quiet good-bye and left also.
"And then there were two." Roxas said jokingly since only he and Sora were the only ones left.
"Yeah, two." Purred a voice from behind them. Roxas and Sora tensed and slowly turned around. Their eyes met the eyes of the two boys from the parking lot, Axel and Riku. Silence followed.
"Well..." Roxas started as he turned his head to Axel, breaking the dramatic silence, "You go to the bathroom, 'cause it looked like you were about to pee your pants in the pakring lot."
Sora supressed a giggle, trying not to draw much attention to himself.
Axel's face got slightly pink, while Riku laughed.
"He almost did, I think his pants got a bit wet, but I don't know. Never bothered to look." Riku said with a smirk.
"Oh shut up, Riku. At least I didn't get my panties all in a bunch whenever something of mine goes haywire."
"I don't wear panties, dimwit."
"Fine, I guess I offended you a bit. Okay, okay, manties. Happy?"
"No! And at least I don't set anything that gives me problems on fire!"
As the were arguing back and forth, Roxas was finding all of this amusing. Leaning over to Sora, he whispered, "They totally forgot about us."
Sora stiffly nodded.
Raising an eyebrow at Sora response, he very quietly asked, "Hey, what's with you?"
Sora looked at Roxas, then to Axel, Riku, and back to Roxas. "I have to tell you something..." he whispered back. Grabbing Roxas's wrist, he swiftly led him out of the cafeteria and into the hallway.
"What's up?"
"Uh, well, I just felt... Uncomfortable around them."
"I know they're seniors, but they seem to get distracted very easily. Hell, they didn't even ask how I knew about the redhead almost peeing his pants."
"No! I mean... Uh, the redhead... Axel, I know him..."
"What? You knew him? What's the deal? You have a fight or something?"
"Uh... Something along those lines... You see, I'm not sure if he remembers or if he doesn't want to, but-"
"Aha!" Riku exclaimed, interupting Sora. He grasped Sora's and Roxas's shoulders tightly.
"Well, well, well, looks like you two tried to get away." Axel smoothly said as he walked up next to Riku.
"Where were you two going?" asked Riku.
"Uh, um, Demyx invited us to hang out with him and Zexion..." Sora muttered, but Riku caught it clearly.
"So, you two are who Demyx was talking about. Well, I think we'll escort them to Demyx's dorm, what do you think, Riku?"
Smirking, Riku nodded. "Sounds good. C'mon, you two, I guess were going to see Demyx together."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Axel led the way to Demyx's dorm, since Riku didn't remember which room was Demyx's. Roxas and Sora were still being painfully held by Riku tight grip the whole way.
"Let's see..." Axel muttered to himself. He lifted his finger and pointed to each door, reading their numbers aloud until he came to Demyx's number. "Here we are! You now, Demyx doesn't expect us, Riku, how should we surprise him this time?"
"Hm..." Riku said. "I think that no surprise is needed. Just seeing us will be surprise enough."
Axel shurgged and nodded. "Whatever." The redhead turned to the door and knocked loudly.
"In a minute!" shouted a voice from behind the door, Demyx to be exact.
Axel folded his arms as he waited for Demyx to open the door.
"Hey!" He exclaimed as he opened the door. His expression went from giddy, to surprised, then finally to scared. "Don't hurt my freshmen buddies!" he shouted as he leaped up, tackled Roxas and Sora and held them away from Riku.
"Now, Demyx, we weren't hurting them, were we, Axel."
"How the hell am I suppose to know? I was in front of you three the whole time."
Demyx just held Roxas and Sora closer, almost cutting off their air.
"Leave 'em alone!" Demyx said protectively.
Struggling, Roxas said, "Y-You're doing more damage then them."
Demyx looked down at Roxas. "What do you mean?"
Roxas, who hated this more than hair ruffs, pushed Demyx away, rubbing his neck. "Your hug of certain death."
"Oh..." Demyx said, letting a pink faced Sora go. "I just thought that they were gonna do something to you guys."
"Nah, their your friends, we won't hurt your friends, Demyx." Riku said.
"Really?" asked Demyx. Both Axel and Riku nodded. "Yay! Hey, you two wanna join us? Zexion was already here, he helped me clean a little. The more the merrier! Especially since I know you won't hurt my freshmen buddies!"
"Sure, why not." Axel said.
Demyx beckoned them to come into his dorm, which was actually clean, surprising Axel and Riku. Zexion was sitting on top of Demyx's desk, looking like he always did, bored.
"Hey, Zexion, who's life as an emo treating you?" Axel teased as he flopped down on the closet bed, which was Demyx's room mate's bed.
Zexion just said nothing, he used to protest whenever someone called him emo, but now he just went with the flow, not caring anymore.
"Demyx," Riku asked as he sat down next to Axel, "where's Marluxia?"
Demyx led Roxas and Sora to his bed, telling them to sit there. As he sat down next to Zexion on his desk, he answered, "Marly had to go do some things for the school's news program. They've been having some trouble lately."
"What do they need the anchor for? What kind of trouble are they having?" Axel asked as he layed down on his stomach.
"I don't, Marly never told me."
"Oh." Axel said.
The next few seconds were silent until Demyx decided this was a good time to listent to the radio. Axel and Riku mainly talked with each other, while Demyx talked to Zexion, who just nodded, half listening.
"Hey, Sora, so what's your problem with the redhead?" He whispered to Sora.
"It's nothing, really! Let's just enjoy the music." Sora said, smiling. "Besides, it not all that big a deal. I tend to over dramatize things anyways."
"If you say so..." Roxas said, still unconvinced.
The quiet talking lasted for about thirty minutes, but Demyx decided it was time for all of them to start talking.
"Hey," Demyx said as he turned down his radio, "what do you guys wanna talk about?"
Axel and Riku exchanged a look.
"You know," Axel started, "we could talk about how each other's summer went. How about we start with your new buddies?"
"Yeah! Great idea, Axel!" Demyx said happily. "Why don't you start us off, Roxy? The Sora will go, then Zexy, Axel, Riku and then me."
"Uh... Okay." Roxas said. "Well, my summer was pretty uneventful. I hung out with my friends and skateboarded. Didn't go anywhere."
"I mainly stayed home, occasionally going over to Kairi's. Not much either."
"I stayed home, just caught up with my reading and surfed the net."
"Dang, you guys sure had boring summers. I went camping with Riku and some other friends for a good majority of the summer, but when I wasn't I was playing basketball with some of my neighbors."
"What Axel said, except when I wasn't camping, I just stayed inside and played videogames."
"I spent my whole summer swimming at the beach, since I live so close to one."
After Demyx had said what he had done during the summer, a silence fell on the room.
Axel looked at Riku again, who nodded and smirked.
Roxas and Sora noticed and got a bit worried.
"Hey, I got another topic." Axel said smoothly, meaning he had something in store.
"Really? What?" asked Demyx, wanting something to talk about.
"Which base have you made it to?"
"Huh?" Roxas, Demyx, Sora, and Zexion said in unison.
"You know, the bases. Like baseball, but for making out and stuff. I myself made it two second over the summer with some girl." Axel said casually.
"Oh! Those bases... Uh... How far this kissing with tounge?" asked Demyx.
"It's first." Riku answered with an all-knowing tone. "If you need a review, this is how I remember them. French ir first base, feel is second, finger is third, and fuck is a homerun."
"Oh, so, I guess first. How about you guys?" he asked the more younger ones in the group.
Zexion looked down and muttered, "First..."
Sora and Roxas exchanged glances. They had never even kissed a girl on the lips, let alone french. Knowing they would be teased they both answered, "I've never kissed anyone..."
Axel and Riku raised an eyebrow, for added dramatics. "Oh, is that so?" Axel said. He got up from his resting spot and made his way to Sora and Roxas. "You wanna make it to first? Or second, personally I don't care as long as I get some action." he said, his eyes mainly on Roxas.
Roxas stared at Axel's almost lustful blue eyes. Blushing, he grabbed Sora and dragged him out of Demyx's dorm, not even saying a word.
"Wait, Roxy! Come back! He's just joking!" Demyx shouted after them. He ran to his door, but found no blushing Roxas and no Sora being dragged by a blushing Roxas.
"Aww, man. Thanks a lot, Axel, you drove them off." Demyx moped as he took his place next to Zexion.
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't get mad at me for his coyness." Axel said as he stayed on Demyx's bed. "Man, they left before I told them about fouls, they're the best part."
"Fouls?" asked Riku, not knowing what his friend meant.
"Yeah, fouls.You have fouls in these kinda bases too, it can happen whenever."
"What's a foul mean and how is it good? I thought fouls were bad." Demyx said.
"Ah, I guess it all depends on what you like. A foul is butt sex. And I know I'd love to get a foul with a certain someone..."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Rox, you okay?" Sora asked as he loomed over a covered Roxas. Roxas had ran back to his room, dragging Sora the whole way. Once he had got in there, he went straight to his bed and covered himself, trying to hide his blushing. He hated blushing.
Sora pulled off the blanket, revealing the still blushing Roxas, who just pulled the pillow over his face.
"Aww, come on, Rox, he was just joking." Sora said. trying to sooth Roxas.
Roxas lifted the pillow, revealing his mouth but nothing else. "I don't care. I didn't like it. No wonder you got uncomfortable around him."
Sora was about to protest, about to say, 'Well, that's not it.', but instead said, "Uh... Yeah..."
"So," Roxas said after a few minutes, "what do you want to do now?"
Sora thought deeply about this. "Well, we have two weeks to blow..." He sat down on his bed, really thinking about what they should do. "I know what we should do."
"What?" Roxas asked as he sat up, his face had regained it's regular color.
"Well, it might sound a bit kiddish, but I say a prank war. I... I used to do it all the time when I was little."
"Actually, that sounds pretty good. I don't have any other ideas. One problem, though, who is the prank war gonna be against?"
"I say some seniors, maybe some we don't kn-"
"Axel and his friends, except for Demyx." Roxas declared, not hearing Sora say 'maybe some we don't know'. Turning to Sora, he awaited an answer.
Sora thought about Roxas's suggestion for awhile, making Roxas to start thinking he didn't want to go against them.
"Hey," Roxas said, "If you don't want to, that's oka-"
"Yeah. Okay, against Axel and his friends. It'll be fun!" Sora said with a grin.
"Really?" asked Roxas, surprised.
"Yup." Sora nodded.
'But this prank war will be much more different than our last one, Axel...'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A/N: Yes! Progress! I finally introduced Axel and Riku, sadly, though, I didn't add any SoraRiku moment, but I did put a AkuRoku one. :3 And... A prank war! Now, here's where I would love for your help. Just suggest a prank they can do and if I use it, I'll give you credit in the author notes! If I forget to acknowledge you, then you bug me until I do! Which I will after you remind me.
About the third chapter--
Yeah, that chapter was very fun to write, though I scared myself since it was funny and normally I can't pull off funny on purpose. xP The mysterious voice, yes, that was the best part to write. xD And the scolding hot emo, it's just Zexion tea obviously, and I got it from Gaia when I was roaming the forums.
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! I love your reviews, they keep me motivated. Remember, suggestions for pranks would be much loved!
Until next chapter! ;D
