Disclaimer: Seriously… I do not, and never will, own Kingdom Hearts!
Axel's POV:
Roxas and I were officially a couple. After a nice date, and some more kisses, I finally had the courage to ask him. And lucky me, he immediately said yes! But the only thing I was certainly not looking forward to was playing 20 Questions with Demyx and Zexion. I bet Roxas would agree with me!
Roxas and I walked home from Varsity Pizza. Roxas smiled. "I had fun!" The sun was setting, and some of the streetlights were on. "We should do this again…"
"Yeah, we should." I smiled at Roxas. "How about Friday?" Roxas squinted his eyes.
"The dance is Friday…" Roxas said slowly.
"Exactly." Roxas rolled his eyes and chuckled.
"Whatever Axel." Roxas laughed. "Oh, we need to buy tickets…"
"Already done!" I smirked. "I got them free."
Roxas looked at me like I was crazy. "And how did you accomplish that?"
"My cousin Reno. He works for the school. So he hooked me up!" Reno was like the brother I never had! Even though he is like, ten years older than me. He was the one who got me in the school in the first place.
"Oh, that weird secretary who gives all the kids candy?" Roxas asked. "I like that guy… He gave me like, twenty Jolly Ranchers when I came in late that one day."
"Oh yeah! Your mouth was a rainbow that day!" I laughed. Roxas nodded. "Did you get any cavities from all that candy?"
"No, because when I had braces, I had to brush my teeth like, four times a day, and it became a habit…" Roxas shrugged. "So I brushed my teeth like, 3 times after eating that…"
"Wow… That's a lot…"
"Yeah…" Our dorm room was close. Only two rooms to go. Finally, our dorm was right in front of us. I placed they key in the keyhole (twss) and opened the door.
Demyx seemed to be waiting for us when we got home. He was literally, IN the doorway when I opened the door! I saw taken back by the giant smile on his face. "Hello love birds! How was your date?"
Since it was a date, and we were a couple… I couldn't really defend my, 'We aren't dating' argument… So I simply said, "Fine. Thanks for asking."
Demyx seemed stunned! "So you finally admit that you love each other?"
Roxas groaned. "Demyx, we do NOT love each other! My goodness…" Roxas folded his arms. "Are you and Zex going to the dance?"
"Yes!" Zexion yelled from his room.
"He's reading Twilight again… Isn't he?" I asked, kind of annoyed with his Twilight obsession. "We need to burn that in the middle of the night one of these days…"
"Yeah… I am very upset with him, but we worked it out… And I completely agree…"
Roxas chuckled. "Where is my uncle when you need him?" Roxas smiled at his old memories. "He would like, beat someone up if they mentioned Twilight…"
Zexion came running to the door. "SHUN THE NUN BELIVA! SHHHUUUNNN!" Zexion yelled, turning his fingers into crosses, pointing his hands at Roxas and I.
"Okay… To much Charlie The Unicorn…" Demyx pushed the goth into the kitchen.
I shook my head. "Well, I'm going to get ready for school… Tomorrow's Wednesday right?"
Roxas nodded, throwing his school bag on his bed. "Yeah. It's Wednesday." Roxas face planted onto his bed. "I'm tired…"
"Then… Go to bed…?" I chuckled.
"Oh yeah…" Roxas sat up. "I'm going to get in my pajamas…"
"Okay… I'm getting in the shower…" I grabbed my own pajamas and headed for the bathroom.
What another long day…
Roxas's POV:
It was magically Friday! Which means the dance is today! Which means I'm going with Axel to the dance today! Which means I get to dance with Axel at the dance today! Which means I might be able to kiss Axel at the dance today! Which means I might be able to get pizza with Axel after the dance today! Haha! You thought I was going to say something else! Oh… No…? Then… Never mind…
School started. Axel and I were just chilling in homeroom. Then it hit me. "WE HAVE THE MYTHOLOGY PROJECT DUE TODAY!"
Axel's eyes widened. "TODAY? THAT WAS DUE TODAY?"
"We are so screwed…" I face palmed. "I completely forgot about it!"
"Ahh… Oh well… Wait just a darn burger-flipping second! Xigbar is not here today, which means it isn't due until Monday!" Axel and I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh thank goodness… But we still have to meet up during Study Hall and Academic Support to work on it."
"Yes, yes! I know!" Axel smiled. "I really don't want to fail one of the first projects of the second semester." The bell rang, signaling first period. "Bye Roxas!"
I gathered my books. "By Axel." And I was off to Science.
At lunch, Demyx and Zexion were up selling dance tickets, so it was only Axel and I at the table. We decided to go to the library to work on our project, mainly because we didn't want to do it during Study Hall. (We watch movies!) Axel and I still didn't have a poster board, but we got most of the printing done. All we had to do was glue the pictures on our board.
Axel smiled at me. "Well, almost done! We should celebrate!" Axel wrapped his arm around my shoulder as we were walking back to the cafeteria. "How about you meet me at the school cafeteria after school at 6pm?"
I shook my head. "Sorry, I already have plans with another red head." Axel pretended to be shocked. "His name is Axel, and he looks like you!"
"Oh really? Well, I would like to meet this, 'Axel' fellow!" Axel laughed. "Well, we got it done. And that is all that really matters."
"You are absolutely right." I stopped at my locker to put my project stuff back. A piece of paper fell out of my locker. Axel picked it up. I was blushing… I had to be blushing… It was my, 'mini-shrine' to Axel… I made it on Tuesday when Axel was in the shower…
Axel smiled and gave the paper back to me. "You are cute Roxy."
I shoved the paper back into my locker. "Why do you call me that…"
Axel smiled. "Because… I like it…" I shut my locker and we started walking again.
"Oh…" My face was still very red. I stood up. "We should get back to…" Axel pulled me in, crashing his lips onto mine. A smile formed on my lips. I stepped back.
"I'll see you later." I skipped away. I heard Axel chuckling behind me.
Axel's POV:
The dance was mere minutes away. Roxas and I were standing in line, waiting to get in. Demyx and Zexion were behind us, whispering. They were probably flirting because I heard some Demyx giggles…
Roxas clung to my arm. "I'm so exited Axel! I can hear the music from here!" Roxas squealed. "This is my first school dance! And I am thrilled it gets to be with you."
I smiled, kissing the top of Roxas's forehead. "Well, I hope you have fun." The line started moving, and I heard some cheers from the line. "It's about time!"
Roxas giggled. "Yay!" I smiled. It was good seeing him happy, then I know that I can be happy too. Which was always a good feeling.
The cafeteria's lights were dimmed and the disco ball was running. Loud music was blasting from the speakers. The snack table was filled with soda and bags of chips. Roxas was bug eyed. "So this is what I've been missing…"
"Yeah… This is my first dance at this school actually… Since I just came here in the fall… But yeah, this is what you've been missing." Roxas looked at me, wanting to just dance the whole night away.
I looked over at the Dj, who just happened to be Reno. He was choosing the next song. I wonder if he took requests… I'll save those for later…
Roxas grabbed my hand and ran to the dance floor. "Come on! This is a DANCE! We have to DANCE!"
I rolled my eyes. "They expect you to dance while people eat all of the food…" Roxas raised his eyebrow. "What… That's pretty much what a dance is…"
"Wow, dances sure are boring then!" Roxas smiled. "But, we are going to have fun, and do something!"
I shock my head. "Yeah, yeah. Don't be my mother…" I chuckled. Some song by Bruno Mars came on. I think it was called It Will Rain or something… Reno glanced over to me.
"Alright, now I want you to get with your date! And… Do whatever you do when a slow song comes on… Okay… Now… Go…" Reno said into the microphone. Of course he would do that! Make me dance…
"Axel, may I have this dance?" Roxas smirked.
"Why not?" Roxas look my hand. I mean, the dance was sweet, no doubt about that! But we seemed to be the only ones dancing… Which made me feel… Kind of awkward… Demyx and Zexion weren't even dancing! They were like, making-out in the corner! Which didn't surprise me, BUT STILL!
"Axel, are you having a good time?" Roxas looked into my eyes. "You seemed… Bothered by something… What's wrong?"
"No! Nothing's wrong… I'm just wondering why we are the only people dancing…" I smiled, trying to reassure Roxas that I was fine. "But, this is sweet… Just me, and you."
Roxas looked around. "Yeah. I like being alone with you… Because… I really like you…" Roxas blushed.
"So I'm NOT the only one to blush!" I smiled, Roxas starting to laugh.
"I love you."
