Rookie

Chapter Thirteen - Days Twenty Three to Twenty Five

Warning now, the text message conversation during third period is really confusing, but that's only because they are talking about four or five different things at once. :P

Wednesday September 30th

Day Twenty Three - Period Two

'I feel needy.'

Aww, why ever so, babe?

'I feel kinda depressed at the thought of not being able to see you at lunch today.'

I could always come see you.

'No! You have to stay in bed!'

Oh, you're no fun.

'I don't want you hurting yourself.'

No faith, Roxy, no faith.

'Just keep watchin' tv and you'll be all fixed up and then you get to come to school again.'

You're so mean. I wanna see my Roxy-baby. How do I know you aren't off with that prick Zexion right as we speak?

'You don't honestly think that would be the case, do you?'

No. No, I guess that was a little below the belt. Especially after you scared the shit outta me on Sunday.

'Oops. That scared you?'

Not in a bad way, love. Just a bit of a surprise when the one you've been crushing on jumps you in their own bed. Okay, that sounds like it would be more traumatic for you.

'Ya' think? ;P I'm not complaining though. It was a blast. Though I was kinda scared you were gonna end up yellin' at me or somethin'.'

A whore yelling at someone who's arousing him? Hmm, something doesn't seem right with that picture.

Roxas couldn't help but laugh, although none of the students bothered to gawk at him for his small outbursts anymore. They all knew what was going on. 'No, I guess you're right. Does this mean that you're still a whore then?'

You expect to change me over night? I love you the most, though, Rox. Keep that in mind. Even if that does mean I have to give up the after-Chem routine, I'll do it so long as it makes you happy.

Day Twenty Four - Lunch

"Hey, Roxas, you aren't hangin' out with that creeper today?"

Roxas spun on his heel, shocked at the voice coming from behind him. Hayner was smiling his regular smile as though he hadn't humiliated Roxas and left him to deal with Axel all on his own. A spark of anger flared through the younger blonde. "What does it matter?"

"I was wonderin' if you would hang out with me and Pence, like the good ol' times."

"And be forced to sit through a whole lunch-hour of you two making out? No thank you."

"Aww, but Rox! It'll be fun!"

"What would be so fun about it? If you want me there, persuade me."

"Jeez, Rox, you don't have to get all snappy about it."

"Really? I figured you to be too much of an asshole to get it otherwise."

"Rox, what's the matter with you? He's corrupted your mind or something."

Roxas turned from the elder blonde, moving past the students crowding the hall and beginning his trek down to Demyx and Xigbar. Only stopping when he felt a hand on his shoulder, cerulean orbs glared back on the someone they used to call their best friend.

"What do you really want, Hayner? There's gotta be a good reason as to why you're even bothering me, right? What is it?"

"I ... We miss you. I know that sounds really weird but it's true. It's been so weird without you around."

"I don't think that I would be able to go back, Hayner. I'm sorry. I have a lot on my mind right now and don't think I'd be able to forgive you yet."

The elder blonde quirked his eyebrow in confusion. "Forgive me? For what?"

"Uh, let's see. You abandoned me in Math class, humiliating me. You abandoned me when Axel first started coming around. You basically cut me out of your life. If that's the way you play, maybe I'm just not cut out to be your friend anymore."

"Roxas? Is this twerp giving you a problem?" Roxas turned from the blonde once more as Xigbar approached, Demyx in step beside him. Giving the two a brightening smile, he moved away from the stunned blonde.

"Nah. I think I've got it under control. See you around, Hayner."

Roxas joined his two new friends, leaving his old friend to gape after him as the trio made their way down to their usual spot. Hayner regained his composure as Roxas disappeared from sight.

"Oh yeah, well, you watch! You'll come crawlin' back to us when you realize how big of a bunch of pricks they are! Damn it. Why couldn't I have said that when he was still around?"

Day Twenty Five - Third Period (Axel)

"You're back! Ooh, Dancer, I've missed that smexy booty."

Axel leaned away as the brunette tried to move in closer. "Down boy. Promised Rox-as no rockin' anyone's ass except for his. And since his mom is amazing, we aren't allowed to have sex." Blue eyes grew wide.

"Won't you go into withdrawal without me?"

"Sorry, Storm. You'll just have to work through it with Cloud. I promised him I wouldn't."

"Can you, like ... call him or something? And ask permission? Please?"

"Jeez, what the hell is wrong with me? I have to ask too many people to enjoy a simple fuck now! Stupid Rox-as and his rockin' ass. He's too addictable!"

"Addictable?"

"Yeah, I can't help but be addicted to him."

"Man, that's irresistable. Addictable isn't even a word!"

"See what I mean? He's screwin' with me, man."

Leon placed his hand on Axel's knee in sympathy, but only caused a groan to escape the redhead's lips as he contemplated slamming his face to the desk. As if on cue, his phone vibrated, alerting him to a message from his blonde.

Hayner's back beside me, Axe. Help me! It's really awkward!

'Tell him I'll smack him.'

"You gonna ask him if we can still rock?"

Axel turned to the brunette, disbelief on his features. "Uh, why would I do that?"

"'Cause you'll die without an orgasm at least once a week."

"And who said that he doesn't turn me on that much?"

"I ... Gah, c'mon, Axe! That means that you're off-limits for ... hey, don't ignore me!"

He said he'll smack you right back. He's not listening to reason, babe! It's scarin' me!

'Means we've both got a stitch in our side right now. Stupid Storm. Wants to still have me. He doesn't get that I only love you.'

"Now, what were you sayin'?" Axel looked up at the glaring brunette.

"I was sayin' that you're off-limits now and that really sucks. You haven't been off-limits for ... a real long time. When was the last time you had a serious relationship?"

"Ya'know, now that you mention it ... I don't think I ever have. Whoa, gotta tell Roxy that at lunch! Thanks, man. Oh, wait, reply."

How does that help me at all? lol Who's Storm? Someone I gotta watch out for? Competition, perhaps?

'Er, say that he should buzz off because you're worried about your boyfriend's faithfulness at the moment? Even though you aren't. He's already got a boyfriend, no worries. He's that one I was tellin' ya about? In Chem? Ah the chemicals of Chemistry, how I miss them.'

"C'mon, keep me in the loop! What's goin' on? Do I get to turn you on or what?"

"No! Even if he said you could, you can't! You aren't allowed!"

"Aww, why? Do I do it too good?"

"Just screw off, man. Let me copy these notes."

"Notes schmotes. Who needs 'em?"

"Er, you?"

"True. Ah well. I can get them later, right?"

"If you leave me alone. Nee, Roxy!"

Oh, I think it might have worked. Except now he's quizzing me on when I got a ... wait, boyfriend? We're ... we're going out? I wasn't informed of this! But, oh, Leon. I get it now. When do I get to meet him?

'I thought we were. Are we? Since you kinda forced yourself on me on Sunday, I just kinda firgured we were an item. Miracle, you know. You'd by my first boyfriend. I don't think I'd trust you actually meeting with him. He has a blonde fetish.'

"Rox wants to meet you," Axel informed the bored teen. He perked instantly, looking up from the lion crest doodle he was working on.

"Oh really? Which means that he'd be scoping me out to see how much of a threat I am, right? You told him already that I don't actually like you, right?"

Axel feigned a gasp and startled expression. "You mean all this time you've been leading me on? And here I thought I was your mistress! Wait, what would that be for a guy? Meh, mistress is fine, I guess."

Leon laughed, a smirk spreading across Axel's lips as he continued to write away at his notes.

S-So ... I've been in a relationship without even knowing? Weird. I'm glad though. :D Are you serious? I'm the first? But ... all those other guys ... and girls ... what were they? Then why is he so interested in you?

"Good question. You have a blonde-fetish, man. Why do you want in my pants so bad?"

"Cause I make an exception for the really hot ones."

"Are you saying I'm hotter than Cloud?"

"I'm not obliged to answer that."

"Cause I so am, aren't I?"

"I'm not answering that."

"Please?"

"Nope."

"Bitch."

"I know."

Axel stuck his tongue out at the teen across from him before turning his attention back to his love. 'Dude, you're mom knew before we did. FWB, man. Friends With Benefits. It's what Storm is. And Cloud. Mmm, and both of them together equal a hurricane. ;P He said that it was because I was hot, I think. He's ignoring me now, the crybaby. All because I'm not allowed to be molested by him anymore.'

Prodding the pouting teen, Axel leaned closer, eyeing the doodle that was hastily scribbled down on the page. "I mentioned it to him, so, we'll see what he says, okay?"

"Do I have to wait?"

"You'd have to wait until the end of class anyways."

"So?"

"You're weird, man."

"So I've been told."

My mom knew? Are you kidding? She knows? Was that what I was? A FWB? You would know this first hand, wouldn't you? *sigh* Who said you weren't allowed to be molested by him?

'Yeah, she saw me in there before you woke up. So, no sex until we ask her permission, babe. Just thought you'd like to know that. Nah. There was always that something special about you. You don't have to worry about it. I love you, Rox. Er, I did? Because I don't want to hurt you?'

I ... wasn't planning on having sex for a while anyways. O.o Love you too. :D How would it have hurt me? As long as you don't forget about me and your heart is still mine, I suppose I can't really argue. It wouldn't be cheating on me if your heart wasn't into it or if I said you could, right?

Axel hung his head in defeat, glancing up at the clock as students around them began to pack their things. 'I'll meet you down in the music room, babe. I... might be a few minutes late. With your permission.'

Just remember what I said and I won't be mad. :D

Axel stood as the class began to file out. Leon was bending down to grab his book bag so Axel gripped his shoulders from behind, drawing him back with the fabric handle lodged between his fingers.

Leaning down, Axel trailed his tongue over the sensitive skin of the other's neck, coaxing a moan out of pouting lips. "Does this mean he said y-yes?" Biting down lightly, just enough so as to not leave a mark, Axel hummed in affirmation.

Day Twenty Five - Lunch

"Ahh, Roxy, I feel so dirty! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to be so late! I still love you the most!" Axel whined as he burst through the music room door, searching for his love. The moment he found the blonde, he darted over, falling to his knees at the sitting teen's feet. Roxas could see the sweat that lined the elder teen's brow and it only sent a little rumble of jealousy through his body. Instead, he lifted that hung head gently, his fingers pressing the redhead's chin up so that their eyes would lock. "R-Rox?" Leaning forward, Roxas pressed his lips to those of his elder.

"At least you came."

A blush crossed the redhead's cheeks and Roxas peered down at Axel's crotch, noticing the fact that there was no overwhelming bulge of arousal. Roxas couldn't help but chuckle. "Like I said, at least you came."

Axel crawled forward, pressing his back against the wall, taking in the duo on their stage. Roxas pulled the redhead's hand over to his own, feeling the heavy weight of the cast against his own arm.

"Ya know, since we're actually going out now, I think I should change your ringtone."

A small cringe and Axel nodded, pulling his phone from the depths of his pocket. "Here, sir. And I do believe I would like to change yours as well." Roxas smirked, handing over his own pride and joy.

"Okay, done. Here, Foxy-Roxy." The blonde blushed at the nickname, allowing his phone to slide into his lap.

"Alright, done yours too. I want you to hear yours now!"

A nod as Roxas dialed in the number he had secretly memorized.

If I go to hell will you come with me or just leave? If the world were ending would you kiss me or just leave me? Just leave me.

Axel pouted, leaning his head on the blonde's shoulder. "I wouldn't be allowed in such a great place as hell if you went there, Rox. And there's no way I would leave you, even if the world were ending. I'd gobble you all up if it meant I could save you."

Roxas beamed, leaning his head against those spikes.

I think you're fine, you really blow my mind. Maybe someday you and me could run away. I just want you to know, I wanna be your Romeo.

To Be Continued
