"Roxas!" Cloud called impatiently to his son, "Get your ass out here!"

Roxas looked back.
Nothing.
Shrugging it off, he joined his father in the kitchen.

Taking a seat at the counter, Roxas watched his father happily make dinner for them.
He considered telling Cloud what really happened to him.
That he did all those things.
That he had hurt his only son…

Turning to face his son, Cloud set a plate in front of him with two eggs and bacon, arranged in a smiley face.
Was that all Cloud could cook? It had been so long since he made dinner, Roxas forgot his skills diminished soon after "eggs and bacon".
Clouds defense to this was that eggs and bacon was the perfect meal. For any time of the day.
'Much better the Pickle Chips.'

"Was it your friend Hayner?" Cloud asked Roxas, his mouth full of eggs.
Roxas simply shook his head, "Ugh…"
"You can tell me, I wont tell the school or his parents or anyone if you don't want…"

'Just tell him, he WANTS to know SO bad…Lying is bad…'

"No, it wasn't Hayner dad…" Roxas chomped a piece of bacon.
It was chewy and slightly undercooked. He hoped it killed him.

"Was it…That one bully? Snifter?" Cloud asked taking an especially big gulp of milk.

"Just remember, the truth will set you free!"

"You mean Seifer? No dad, it wasn't Seifer…" Roxas' heart felt oddly heavy.
How could something suspended in your chest, the very core of your life, feel heavy? Wasn't it suppose to feel light and not be a burden all the time?

"Oh now Roxie, be nice. I'm just trying to help you, ya know?"

Sighing Cloud begged, "Okay I give up! Who was it!?"

By this time, Roxas' stomach was doing aerobatics and his heart felt like it was going to drop any second from its sheer weight.

"Well…" Roxas began, "…You know what dad? Lets not ruin this stupendous night by…talking of such unpleasant things…"

Roxas had a telltale sign of nervousness when talking to his father.
For some reason which he had no idea why.

He used every single word that was longer seven letters that he knew, and tried to 'stupefy' his father.

In his ten years of this practice, it has never worked once.

"I'm not as dumb as you try and make me seem son." Cloud was blankly staring into the kitchen.

There was a long pang of silence, broken by Cloud, "If you don't want to tell me…" He grabbed his plate and set it into the sink, "Then fine. I just thought you would let me know…" Walking past Roxas again, he added, "I start work tomorrow. They are in desperate need of people…Night…"

Yup, if Roxas' stomach wasn't doing aerobatics before, it was now.
Not only was it doing death-defying feats, it had some company, because Roxas was almost sure that his heart got so heavy, it fell into his stomach at dinner.

Either way, Roxas never could keep down his fathers cooking.

"Why did you lie to him?" Roxas' mirror asked when Roxas returned from the bathroom for the fourth time since dinner.

"I didn't lie per se…" Roxas laid down on his bed, looking up to his ever so colorful ceiling.

"If you didn't lie, what did you do?"
"I…just didn't tell him the answer to some dumb question he wanted to know…"
"He's going to change his life. He's going to be sober this time."
"How do you know?" Roxas looked toward his mirror.
"Because, maybe that's what's wrong with you."
"Well that makes loads of sense…."
"Your stomach. Its nervous, and upset. Want to know why?"

Sitting up, Roxas yawned, "Sure…"

"You're guilty. Because you know he's going to change this time, and you cant even find it in yourself to stop lying to his face…"

"I wasn't lying to his face…I was…"
"Lying."
"I wasn't lying!"
"Right then….So you were lying?"
Before Roxas could make a rebuttal, his stomach sent him running for the bathroom.
Yeah, that bacon was definitely undercooked.

Good thing there was no school the next morning.

Roxas woke to the sound of the shower running.
A glance at his clock told him it was seven in the morning.
"Dad's awake…so…" Roxas yawned, "He really is going to do it this time…"
Resting his head back on his pillow, Roxas sighed, "But how long will it last this time…"

"Depends on how much faith you have."
"What?"
"The more you believe in him, the more he will be likely to succeed."
Roxas stirred, trying to get comfortable before falling back into a restful slumber, "I don't follow…Explain when I'm awake…"
"If he has support at home, he will be more likely to do better in his sobriety. At least I think so…"
"Maybe you're wrong…" And with that, Roxas fell asleep with his mirror going on and on about how he was right and Roxas was wrong.

They argued like that a lot lately.

Noon rolled around and Roxas finally woke to a most disturbing sight.
His reflection, sitting on the foot of his bed.

"Holy-!"
"Hey! I don't like swearing, remember!" Roxas was cut off by was once was his reflection, sitting his bed.
Only he seemed…Transparent.

Roxas was waving his arms widely, "What are you doing!? How did you get out of there?! Where am I?!"

A husky laugh from his reflection, "I'm sitting here. I don't know. And…Your room?"

"I…I am going crazy aren't I mirror?"

A shrug, "We all are."
"We?! You're not even human!"
"How so?"
"You don't have a brain! A heart! A body! A soul!! How do you think and hypothesize about human life when you aren't human to begin with!?"

Clutching his heart, the reflection pouted, "Roxie…that hurt me right here" He thumped his chest, "I do too have a heart! Don't be mad!" With a giggled he added, "And a brain and soul and all those other things that make up humans."

"Where's your body? Your structure?" Roxas swept a hand across the reflections arm, expecting it to glide through, but instead, he struck a solid arm.

It felt just like a human one. Was he human after all?

Roxas sat there in shock for some time, until his thought was broke by the reflection laying across his lap and saying, "Lets go to the park."

"Why the park?"
"Never been."
"So? You haven't been anywhere else…"
"I want to start with the park."

Roxas pushed the reflections head off his lap. Could he even call it that anymore?

Quickly getting dressed and throwing on shoes, he walked over to where his reflection waited by the door.

"You sure about this?" Roxas looked over his reflection.
"Why not?" He replied with a wink, "What's the worst that could happen?"
Roxas sighed and sulked his head, "People would find me even more crazy…"

The park was nice. It had trees, grass, shade, and flowers.
Everything was fairly pretty, and no one else seemed to be there.
And for good reason, it was freezing.

"Why…did you want to come here so bad?" Roxas shivered as he watched his reflection slide down a child's slide.

Trying to throw his arms in the air to catch the wind, which wasn't there, the reflection giggled, "Because is the most fun you'll ever have?"

'Suicide seems fun right now…Lets try that one…'

"Roxie push me!" His reflection was sitting on a swing, waiting for Roxas to do was he was told.

Walking up behind him, Roxas told him, "No."
"Why not?"
"Because that's fucking weird…"
"Cant you not swear?"
"Yes, I'm doing something I cant not do by swearing…" Roxas wore a sly victory smile.

"Just push me…" The reflection begged, obviously he had no idea what Roxas just told him.
Why did Roxas feel like he had to make his reflection happy?

When Roxas was finally tired enough, he wanted to go home.
And in theory since no one else could see his reflection, he could walk down the street and leave him somewhere. And be free.

Part of him felt it was an amazing idea, the other, the part taking over right now and whenever he seemed to be around that dumb mirror, was telling him differently…

Roxas was lost in thought as he tripped on his face on a small rock.
Some force unseen by anyone but him helped him though, so he didn't fall.

Roxas blushed in front of his reflection, standing on the walk way, "Thanks…"
He rubbed the back of his head nervously.

"I just saved you from a scratch, no big deal, why are you acting so weird?"

Roxas shook it off, why was he?
And why was the last time Roxas really blushed?

That's exactly what Riku and Sora would like to know, at least the first part.
Something else was how Roxas could fall like that and not fall.
Falling without the fall. Brilliant.

Roxas noticed the two boys sitting on a park bench, the silver haired boy's arm wrapped over the brunette's shoulder.
Sora was a popular kid in school, and even if Roxas had never met him before, he'd heard of him.
Everyone had.

And to top off all his popularity, he was gay. For Riku.
None of it made sense.
He could get any girls he wanted, girls, why go after some weird emo boy?
But seeing those two cuddled up against the breeze, contemplating how insane Roxas was, he thought it was cute.
Watching two peoples happiness, even if it means he's probably crazy and kind of creepy.
But right now, those two seemed perfect for each other, no matter what the kids at school say.

The walk home, Roxas and his reflection talked all the way. Roxas was so happy, he never got to talk to anyone on the way home.

"And that thing?" The reflection asked, pointing to a store. This was only the four hundredth thing he asked about.
"That's a 7-11. In fact, I think I need to go in there…"
"For what?"
"Shh, just follow be and be quiet."

Walking past Demyx, Roxas headed straight for the chip isle.
He picked up, what else, Pickle Chips.
Next stop, Ice cream to get, what else, Sea-salt ice cream.

Paying for it and watching Demyx pocket it again, Roxas wondered how long it would take for him to get fired.
Especially since it seemed like he took up a new habit.
Playing with a blue lighter.
Flicking it on and off, on and off.
Mesmerized by the flame.

"Why did you buy those?" His reflection asked as he watched Roxas eat his Ice cream.
"Because its the only thing on this planet that can bring me joy?"
"Not even me?"
"You're not real…"
"Prove it…"
"Why don't you?"

Roxas thought about this. Then dropped it.

"I was thinking of a name for you…" Roxas finally said, munching on Pickle Chips.
"And that is?"
"My dad used to be a mechanic for cars…There was this part of them I really liked…it's the part that always reminds myself of me…"

His reflection looked up at Roxas from his place of laying on his back on the floor, "And that is?"

"The wheels."
He sat up, "You're going to name me 'Wheels'?"
Roxas laughed, "No. But do you know what holds those wheels together? Keeps them working? What they rely on?"

His reflection thought for a moment, "No."

Roxas nodded, "The Axles."
