(Axel, Roxas Yaoi, rated T)
Old happiness, vivid memories, and reunited once again.
Axel was asleep on his bed before his alarm clock rang, he was five minutes late, Axel bolted up and hurried and grabbed his uniform and pulled it on, he pulled on his shoes and hurried out of his house, Axel was Seventeen he had his music finals today and he knew his teacher would yell, Axel stopped for a minute "wait…that would be funny" Axel muttered and continued walking from where he stopped, it had been almost six years since Axels' family died in that harsh car wreak, and he could still smell that smell of burning rubber…he could still hear his older brother screaming in agony as the car burned. "And it's been six years since, I last saw Rox-chan…" Axel thought and he felt a hard pang in his chest, Axel dated many women, and men, but none of them could manage to fill the deep hole embedded in his heart, Axel longed to see Roxas, at least just once just to make sure he was ok…A couple days after Axel reached America to live with his Aunt, he had gotten a call, the very call had sent his heart that was already a mess, into a deep and painful ache. Roxas had fallen out of a two story window…and he could not remember to well, his mother said that as Roxas was being lifted into the ambulance, even though he was out cold, He was wanting his Ax-Nii-Chan, being distracted in his own thoughts, Axel didn't hear the patter of little feet behind him, "oof!" Axel muttered, to quiet for anyone to hear, someone had ran into him, he turned around and caught a small first year blonde kid just before he hit the ground. "Hey are you ok?" He asked the small blonde first year, and to Axels' Surprise his voice was rather Childish, "I-I'm fine, you can p-p-put me down now" the blonde said, and Axel put him down "this kid seems nervous…why do I feel like I've met him somewhere" Axel thought to himself, he realized the kid had dropped his things and kneeled down to help him, as he helped the new first year Axel stole a glance, his heart sank, he knew those eyes anywhere…It was Roxas.., "maybe he doesn't recognize me" Axel thought briskly, trying not to get his hopes up, Roxas' mother said he had lost some of his memory, "did that mean he forgot me too?" Axel thought franticly and continued, lost in his own memories, "YOU GO TO OBLIVION HIGH?" Roxas said a bit too loud and Axel saw that he blushed and he started to laugha hearted laugh, one that resonates in the chest making others want to laugh along, as he laughed he saw Roxas' face grow even redder "I-it's not f-f-funny" Roxas said stumbling over his words, "yes it is" Axel said chuckling as he stood up, "maybe I should play along" thought Axel "it could be fun, and I guess it's like…starting over right?" Axel handed Roxas his papers "Axel"
"Roxas" Roxas said taking the papers from Axel.
"So Rox-as, I do go to oblivion high, I'm a 3rd year." he announced straitening up proudly, Axel then gazed at Roxas and raised an eyebrow, "I take it you're a first year?" Axel said and saw this startled Roxas a little and smiled to himself, making sure Roxas did not see him smile.
"y-yeah" Roxas answered, stunned slightly "how did you know?"
Axel flicked Roxas' tie still wearing his grin "It's blue" he said in a matter of fact tone.
~later that day on the way home~
Axel had stayed after school to work on a song he held dearly in his mind, he sighed and started playing the beginning of Heartstrings, this song always made Axel sad, he closed his eyes and continued playing his mind drifting off to the weeping willow by the pond, he was singing this very song to Roxas he always did, it became sort of a…thing between the two, this day though…this very day…Roxas did something different, "Axel…uh what's love?" Roxas had asked him, "Well Roxas that is kind of rhetorical question, love could be anything" Axel had replied back, and he looked at Roxas, as he did this though, he felt a pair of soft lips touch his, and Axel had blushed and felt his heart pounding, Axel was startled and from the way Roxas pulled back, so was he. That memory, that day…held happiness, but it also held pain…on that very night…him and his parents got into a fight…that night; he gained a heart flutter…but lost his family.
"The falling stars twitch my heartstrings more than ever when I'm with you-" Startled Axel was pulled out of his memory and stopped and looked around for someone who sang Roxas' part of the song but he saw no one…who was it...And why did he sing?
Could it of been Roxas vaguely remembering? Could it be Roxas at all?
