(Disclaimers & warning in Chapter 1)

ROXAS' POV

That night Riku offered to let me and Sora stay at his place when everyone else left. I'm sure he was still mad at Sora, but not mad enough to send him driving home as drunk as he was. The room Sora passed out in was a guest room with a pretty big bed so we just bunked together.

As soon as I laid on the bed, I knew I could fall asleep any second. I took one last look at the mess of brunette spikes next to me, and I was out.

I was in an open field with a sunset beyond its hills. It was more of an island, actually. At the bottom of the hills on which the field sat were miles and miles of water. I didn't know where I was, and I didn't really care at the moment; the place was the most beautiful I'd ever seen. Where am I?

I searched my scenery for any sign that would tell where I was but found none.

"Sunset Hill, Roxas," A hand touched my shoulder and took a seat next to me.

"Who…?" I turned to the stranger and saw nothing but a shadow. I couldn't put a face to this guy, or a name, but I could recognize his smooth voice and those damn eyes that haunted me the second I saw them.

I started to make out his face which was dark as if shadowed, just like last night when I had caught a slight glimpse of him in the truck, and this aura he gave off made me feel…calm. Sitting here with a nameless stranger was the best dream I'd ever had.

"Will you tell me your name?" I looked at the boy whose face was shrouded by a shadow, only seeing his bright green eyes really.

He laughed and said, "I will, but not now,"

"What's wrong with telling me now?" I was getting mad; first he drives off when I ask his name, and now in my dream he even refuses to tell me his name! But since dreams are all in our heads, I'd have to know his name for him to tell me it in a dream.

I turned from the stranger's shadow, pouting and looking off into the sunset.

"Rooxaasss…" A voice called out to me and the sunset disappeared, the bright sky had shifted from shades of gold and orange to a deep blue, no moon or sun in sight. I could no longer see the shadow, and the hill I sat on started moving.

"HELP!" I called. I couldn't move and the ground was shaking, and from the outskirts of the hill, everything started disappearing. Blackness closed in on me, until the one patch of grass I sat on disappeared, and I was falling…

"AHHH!" I screamed and looked around myself. I was engulfed in dark blue and I felt like I couldn't breathe. What the hell happened to me? I tried to escape but I had no idea what I was escaping from.

"Roxas calm your ass…" I heard someone groan tiredly, Sora? And suddenly the dark blue lifted, revealing Riku's guest bedroom…and Sora holding the deep blue sheets that had just previously been attacking me and trying to fucking kill me. He was looking at me again like there was something wrong with me and I was getting a little pissed.

"How would you like to wake up with sheets trying to suffocate you Sora? And I had been falling in my dream!" I pouted at him and turned my head away from him, he just didn't understand!

"Ugh…Roxas what did you let me do last night?" Sora was rubbing his temples and he looked like he'd be sick. I cannot believe he's pinning what he did last night on me!

"What did I let you do? Sora, you're sixteen! I'm sure you could figure out what you were doing yourself, like most big boys do! I looked for you, but when I found you, you were already a hopeless drunk," He pouted at my words, but what he did was his own damn fault, he even told me he'd try not to drink at the party a few days ago. He knows how he is when he's drunk.

"Roxas…I'm sorry. I-I, I don't know why I went against my word. I just wanted Riku to see how much fun I was at parties."

I scoffed, "Oh he saw how much fun you could be at parties."

"W-What's that supposed to mean? What happened?"

"You haven't remembered your blackout yet?"

"Well Roxas, the thing about a black out is that it gets blacked-out! Can you tell me what happened?" Sora wasn't yelling at me, I don't think he could ever yell at me, but he was getting a little frantic. He's probably worried that something like what happened last year happened. And he's right if that's what he's thinking; but last night was worse.

Last year, Titus threw a Christmas party and Sora dragged me along, even though I personally think Titus is a prick.

Tidus' party was huge. His house was an old Victorian, bigger than Riku's which was practically impossible, and every single room was packed with people; you'd have thought it was a college party. But Tidus knows a lot of people from different schools, so it wasn't just Twilight Town High partying that night. I hung out with Sora most of the night, but when Tidus offered us drinks I refused and he gladly accepted…despite my protests. I was so mad at Sora for drinking, and so I stormed off and spent the rest of the night hanging out with a really sweet girl named Olette. I should've stayed with him; because the next time I found him he was making out with Tidus in the backyard ready to lose his pants. Luckily, I stopped him and we went home. I knew he didn't want to be drunk and in a backyard putting on a show for a crowd for his first time.

"Sora, do you remember being with Kairi?"

"We were on the dance floor for a while…then," he shook his head in thought, "I can't remember what then. What happened next?"

"She took you up stairs…" I twirled my finger and trailed off, wondering if any of this was jogging his memory.

"And…?"

God Sora, your hopeless. How does he not get the point by now?

I shook my head in frustration, "What do people do at parties when they go into bedrooms upstairs Sora?"

I think he remembered. He had that shock of realization on his face and he looked like he was going to be sick.

"Me and Kairi?!" He pointed to himself completely awestruck.

I scrunched my face up and nodded. "Don't worry it didn't get too far, she just tried to suck y-"

"Yeah yeah I'm starting to remember," Sora closed his eyes tight, as if doing that would make what happened between those two go away.

"Sora…there's more to it," I hated to tell him this next part, I knew it'd crush him, but he had to know. "Riku saw."

Oh god…here it comes.

"W-What?! But things were just going well! We were going to be together, Roxas he told me he wanted to go out with me," He was talking so fast I could hardly understand anything.

"Just go talk to him Sora, maybe he'll understand that the drunk you isn't the real you."

"Will you come with me?" He pouted and looked at me so pitifully that I almost agreed, but I knew Riku would've wanted it to be just him and Sora.

"I just think you should do this on your own, you know?" I patted him on the back. He can do it by himself, that face of his could get him out of anything and we both knew it.

"But-"

"No buts Sora! You're gonna get yourself out of this mess young man," I mimicked his dad, Cloud's, serious voice. I guess I shouldn't call it a 'serious voice', because it's just how Cloud's voice was 24/7. Sometimes it would change by getting louder and more demanding; after all he was a drill sergeant at a military school a few miles away.

Sora raised his eyebrows at me and gave me a half-hearted smile.

"I guess it wouldn't hurt to try and talk to him by myself…"

"There ya go young Strife, be a man!" I saluted him like Cloud always did and tried to keep that straight face of his, but ended up laughing along with Sora.

"So…the drill sergeant whose supposed to whip up Twilight Town's troubled teens has a kid of his own who goes to tons of parties and drinks at most of them?" I smirked at him.

"Prettyyy much!" Sora grinned. "But seriously this is the last time, I mean we're going to be Juniors this year and I need to get my act together. I think I was just overwhelmed with everything Freshman and Sophomore year, I'm done being immature. I'm going to get scouted for college sports!"

"That's a great plan Sora, no more mishaps at parties because of alcohol?" I gasped.

"None!" He smiled and stood up quickly. "But to be fair I've only had two…"

"Sora I like you so much better when you're not drunk and slutty though!" I punched his shoulder and stuck my tongue out at him.

"Well then," He lunged at me and started tickling me like a freaking mad man!

"Stop it!" I swatted at his big ass hands and nearly kicked him in the face.

"Damn Rox, chill!" He laughed and tossed a pillow at me.

"Asshole…" I tried to hide my smile but I'm sure he saw it.

After a good laugh, we both looked at what had become of Riku's guest room: a mess of blue bedding and pillows, some out of their cases, scattered around the room. We both got off the bed and stripped it of it's bedding. After layering the giant bed with sheets and blankets, we started fixing the pillows.

Fluffing the last pillow and putting it in its place, I looked at the time on my phone.

11: 00 A.M.

"Hey Sora, I'm going to head out, I have some things to do." I nodded towards the door and waved, he waved back. "And hey, good luck man," I smiled to him.

"Thanks Rox…I'll let you know how everything goes."

At that I left the house and thanked Riku on the way out. When I got to the front porch I found my skateboard right where I had left it when I came here yesterday; leaned against the side of the enormous beige colored house hidden by a tree. I threw it down and got on, skating downhill towards the center of Twilight Town. I had plugged a pair of headphones into my phone to listen to music when it was paused for an incoming call.

An unfamiliar number flashed across the screen.

"Hello?" I asked confusedly.

"Yeah um I'm going to need you to pick up tomato sauce, bread, and some mo-"

"Who is this?" What the hell?

"Um, who is this?" The voice on the other line asked, clearly belonging to a male.

"I think you have the wrong number, this is Roxas."

"Yeah I don't know a-oh wait, from the party Kai was at last night?"

Kai…as in Kairi? It must've been her brother! But why was he reciting a list of groceries to me?

"Yes, and why are you sending me to the grocery store?" I asked, feeling a little weirded out.

"I'm sure you'd love to get my groceries and cook for me tonight, I saw the way you were looking at me blondie, but I was just expecting someone else when I hit redial and forgot about that little call she gave me last night. Like I'm a fuckin' taxi or some shit…" He trailed off while I froze on my skateboard. Blondie? Love to cook for you? No.

"Okay, one; I could hardly even see you last night (lie, I thought he was sexy); all I saw were your creepy bright ass eyes, and two; the nickname 'blondie' doesn't work for me, that's a girl's nickname."

"How fitting, a girl's nickname for a little girl," He sneered.

Asshole.

"Look, you're obviously a pompous prick, and so I'm hanging up. I don't need to deal with a dickhead like you." Now usually, I'm not one to cuss that much, but when I'm pissed like he was about to make me, my inner Madea will be unleashed.

"Bye blondie!"

"Bye asshole!" Before I hit end, I remembered something. "Wait what's your fucking name?" I asked, more like demanded.

"My fucking name is Seymore Butts,"

What? Oh I get it...fucking name, like a pornstar name, wow this guy has jokes.

"Hilarious," I scoffed and hung up, completely unconcerned about what the guy's name was. To me he was only a prick.

I got back on my skateboard and built up my speed. It was so weird to think that I dreamt about this guy making me feel calm and at peace, but on the phone I felt nowhere near either of those feelings. Why did he have to be such a dick?

My phone buzzed revealing a text from my mom, Claire, who looked so much like me. We both had honey-blonde hair, slightly tanned skin, and blue eyes brighter than a clear ocean.

Mom: Put 30 dollars in yr wallet yesterday, pick up school supplies?

Me: Ok

I guess I'd be stopping at Sid's grocery store today. It was nearly noon now and the grocery store was getting closer.

When I got to the sliding glass door's of Sid's, I put my skateboard against the bike racks. The parking lot was pretty empty except for a few cars, one red truck standing out against the rest. Is someone out to get me? Maybe it's not him.

In the front of the store a big school supplies section was on display. Sales signs hung from the ceilings and big boxes were filled to the brim with school supplies. A few moms were cluttered around all of the puppy/kitten supplies, and I recognized some Twilight Town high-schoolers scanning racks of supplies.

I walked over, waving at a familiar face here and there. Pencils…check. Only those nice ones though; the ones that come in a two-pack and are like six dollars. Oh well, not my money I'm spending. If it was I'd be in the value section.

I sifted through notebooks searching for anything without a picture of a basket of puppies on it. If it wasn't that, it was kittens.

In the end I went with a five-subject plain black notebook that took some time to find. Notebook, check. I looked in a bin next to where I had found my notebook and got some pens for pretty damn cheap.

Soon I found everything (and maybe more) of what I needed this year.

Totaling it all up, I counted that I'd have 10 dollars left to spend and decided to dedicate it pizza for later. Walking down the frozen aisle, I heard a very unpleasant and familiar voice in the aisle next to mine, walking at the same pace as myself. I listened to what he was saying.

"Now iiiiii have to get tonight's dinner Reno, because you're out on a date," He whined to whoever he was on the phone with, some guy named Reno apparently.

"I don't want a new mommy. Or a daddy for that matter…I know how you are, you kinky bastard," he laughed for a while, and remained quiet as if listening to the other man on the line.

The aisle was coming to an end as I followed his voice, but I wasn't paying attention unfortunately…

"HAHA so yeah I got-" He paused when our faces met at the end of our aisles. "Text me," and with that he ended his call and put the phone in his pocket.

He leaned on his cart and smirked at me, I guess despite how dark it was he remembered my face. And no matter how much I wanted to deny it, when I could finally see what he looked like clearly under bright lights, I realized he was indeed extremely good-looking. Too bad he was an asshole.

"Well if it isn't bl-"

"Roxas."

"Right, Roxas." The way my name rolled off his tongue sent a shiver up my spine, and I hated it.

"I'm just gonna say it, you were a dick on the phone," I crossed my arms and tilted my head to the side, waiting for him to at least apologize.

"Look, I don't know you, so what makes you think I shouldn't be a dick?"

"Well I'm a person! You don't just treat people like that!" I huffed and balled my fists at my sides, what's up with this guy?

"Aww widdle bwondie has feewings?" He pinched his fingers together in the air, like how grandmas do when they say 'I could just pinch those little cheeks' to babies.

"Why are you suddenly being like this? You seemed pretty cool in thetruck last night," I pointed at him, getting really angry. It sort of just hit me in the face how cool he was being for the first few seconds when we met last night, versus how he had been acting since that awkward phone call.

"That was before-…none of your business," He looked down, and for a second, maybe even shorter, that spark of attitude was gone. "Fuck it; I'm sorry," and with that, he turned into the next aisle and disappeared.

A/N: Okay, so there's chapter 2! Yeah...Axel's being pretty dicky (let's pretend that's a word) ! He was cool when they met, right? You'll see what his problem is next chapter. He's not always like that; don't worry. Anyway, thanks for reading! Please review (:
