Second Chances are Full of Regret

Chapter two: fueling the fire

Breakfast was the same as usual – Namine eating some fiber filled bread that needs to be refrigerated, she's a total health nut. As opposed to Demyx who was eating skittles while pretending to eat a piece of toast, Xigbar had to prohibited the consumption of sugar before noon for Demyx after in a sugar high euphoria he ran outside bare of clothes to the world afraid he was going to be late to school. To clear that mess up took a lot of explaining to Mrs. Kinnian who lived next door. Not the sort of explaining your thinking of but Mrs. Kinnian who often baked cookies for the family had asked if Demyx was 'for sale'.

Walking to school they passed Kairi's house she came running out Selphie her 'BFF' tailing close behind. They soon blended in with the group already on their way.

Talking all the way about useless gossip and the last episode of whatever show was popular at the moment, Axel really didn't care. Since he acquired his new predicament he was somewhat distant from the people around him. He really thought he was losing it sometimes.

He'd wake up In the middle of the night sweating the distinct image of a smiling Roxas looking at him. It made him feel warm inside and filled a gap he didn't know was there.

But it also made him feel sad, because as soon as it was over nothing felt real, like he was struggling between two worlds.

He barely knew Roxas he was the newest one to Xigbar's brood, it was odd how he felt instantly fascinated with him. He really didn't know how to react. Even with the whole 'Oopsie Doopsie! - Don't know where the fuck I am or much else herp derpidity derp." There was something strangely familiar about the blonde boy.

Axel lost in thought, stared at the boy as he thought.

"What are you looking out clown-face" Roxas looked back at him and said.

Really this didn't insult Axel too much, even not knowing why he had them he still thought they were pretty cool- His fashion sense must not have changed ever with the loss of his memories. Axel was getting sick of this though – He didn't take kindly to being talked to like this. He had some sort of self –respect going on. This is where everything went downhill though, he should have just let it go because what happened next was not good in anyway.

"Shut up bitch face, at least I don't have the face of a woman!" Axel retorted back he really didn't mean to say it but god damn he was defensive.

The whole entire party of people stopped and looked at the two boys. Their faces all reading not this again, seriously guys.

"…"

"Well even if I had the face of a woman, at least I don't have the fucking mind of one." Roxas yelled back attacking the literal red- headed boy's sexuality.

"That was low Roxas" he heard Demyx said, Always the kindest of the brood.

"Am I really hearing this from the kid who I could hear moaning about some fucking Hayner in his sleep?" It was true he heard Roxas moaning in his sleep, and he could tell he hit a nerve when Roxas's face lit up like the fourth of July.

"That was really low" He heard Larxene say – and she was not the kindest.

"You two are the only people I've ever seen get into a fight over just looking at someone, seriously calm the fuck down!" Kairi said she was affected by the rise in aggravation and though she probably was the least known for the use of profanity. But this constant bickering had been going on for days and she didn't even live with the two.

It didn't really matter what was said because next thing that happened was Roxas's fist landing into Axel's nose. Really there had to be a lot of rage behind it because Axel who was taller and stronger than the younger boy was now feeling a lot of discomfort and the crunch he heard at contact was defiantly that of his nose cracking.

Sounds of protests could be heard from the peers around him.

"You stupid short piece of shit!" Axel struggled to say through the blood pouring down his throat. "You little bitch, you broke my fucking nose!"

Next thing everybody knew Axel and Roxas have now started beating the daylights out of each other. Roxas ripping at Axel's hair scratching and hitting him at every chance. Axel took the boy by the head and head butted him to the point that both of them were seeing stars, and not of the pleasurable quality.

Marluxia who was standing by shouting things at the two, now involved himself. He had always had a strong distaste for Axel and this gave him the chance to show it – Grabbing Axel by the hair he punched him square in the face before he could even recover from the rough treatment knocking the other out.

Next thing he knew he woke up in the hospital, an enraged Xigbar still in an apron pacing about the room as the police talked to him. The bed next to him housed Roxas awake but still looking like he was fuming, one of the police in the room questioning him.

The police officer questing Roxas then came up to Axel, though his eyesight was blurry he saw that the man in the blue uniform was named Chris.

"Hi Axel, my name is Chris and I need to ask you a few questions."

"Mmhm go on" He said his voice nasally, he really just wanted to get this over with.

"How exactly did the fight between you two start" He said notebook out nudging his head to the side to signify Roxas.

"We argued, He hit me, I hit him." He said keeping it simple.

"Roxas said you were groping him and he asked you to stop, and when you didn't he resorted to hitting you." Chris said writing on his note-pad.

"That is not how it happened! Dear god, next he'll be saying I anally molest him in his sleep with an Alf puppet!" Really this was a bit of a ridiculous claim but to Axel even groping him was a far fetched claim.

Officer Chris scribbled down a couple notes and turned to Axel again.

"So you are saying you didn't molest, or sexually harass Roxas."

"Yes that is EXACTLY what I am saying."

"You're saying the fight was provoked by an argument?"

"Yes!"

"You are also saying Roxas hit you first."

"Yes!" Axel said throwing his arms up.

"Thank you for answering my questions, here is my card if you remember anything more."Chris said handing the boy injured with a broken nose a card with his name and phone number.

As the police man walked out of the room he looked from the enraged Xigbar to the smirking Roxas next to him and realized no matter what happens he's screwed.


Sorry for another somewhat confusing chapter.

Roxas's reactions to Axel and why our Blondie has such a hard time with anger management with be dwelt with soon.

Riku will be introduced next chapter.
