I SAID POUT, DAMMIT! So yeah! Chapter 17! I don't even have that many fingers! Should have done that for the 15th one, but okay! So um... Yeah! Sorry for the random Basketball thing... I was inspired by my hometown completly CRUSHING Colgate 92-45 a few days ago... SO SYRACUSE! ANYWAYS! Here is Chapter... 17? YEAH! 17!
Roxas' POV:
A few weeks later, Axel had his first basketball game. He had made the team! I don't think I was ever so proud of anyone that I wasn't related to in my life! Axel was so happy for days!
Axel was getting ready for the game, which was starting in ten minutes. Him and his teammates were on the court, taking their first few practice shots. I have to admit, Axel looked pretty hot in his orange and blue uniform...Yet again, when didn't he?
Demyx and Zexion came and sat next to me, holding some drinks from the handed me one. "You think they're going to win?"
I nodded. "I know they're going to win." The game started after the lady sang the National Anthem.
"Players on the court are... Number 4, Vexen. Number 8, Axel. Number 5, Lexaeus. And Number 42, Rude," The announcer guy said. I cheered when Axel came out on the court.
Demyx and Zexion were pretty much screaming their heads off the entire time... I had to plug my ears once!
At half-time, the score was 28 to 13. Luckily, we were the team with 28 points. Axel was on the court again for the next half. He had made a few baskets in the last half.
Well, this half, we weren't so lucky... The score was 52-50 as there was 10 seconds on the board.
Axel was passed the ball. He was on the 3-pointer line, and there wasn't enough time to get close enough to the basket to dunk. Axel looked desperatly at the clock. 10...9...8...
Axel looked at the basket. He did a risky move then, lifting his arms, ready to shoot. The ball left his fingertips, soaring through the sky. 5...4...3...2...
I the ball hit the backboard, going into the hoop as the buzzard rang. Axel's eyes widened, not knowing what just happend.
I jumped up and yelled, "You did it, Axel! You really did it!" Demyx and Zexion hugged eachother. "You did it Axel.," I whispered, holding my charm of my necklace.
After the game, I ran down to where Axel was standing on the court. He looked exausted and sweaty. He smiled and walked towards me. "You did it, Axel!" I gave Axel a small hug, not wanting to get any sweat on me."I'm so proud of you!"
Axel chuckled. "Thank you for coming. It really means a lot. Now? Who wants to celebrate?" Demyx, Zexion, and I raised our hands. "After I take a shower..."
We all laughed. Good times.
The four of us walked back to dorms together. We were laughing and having a great time, enjoying eachother's company. I don't know what I would do if I have never met them. Where would I be now? Who would I be with? I really didn't want to think about it...
When Axel was in the shower, Demyx, Zexion, and I were hanging out in the living room, talking about a bunch of random crap. "So... What did you guys do on Christmas?" Demyx raised an eyebrow.
"Well, we had a good time, I guess. Axel and I snuggled a bit... Nothing worth mentioning." I looked at my necklace charm. The key seemed to be loosing it's luster, since I wore it 24/7.
"Ahh, snuggling, did you?" Demyx winked at and 20 Questions begins..."How was it?"
I shrugged and knitted my eyebrows. "Umm... Good? I was asleep for most of it Demyx..."
Zexion sighed. "I really don't want to play 20 Questions right now, Demyx." Zexion stood up and went over to the kitchen.
Demyx giggled. "Whatever Zexy! I'll play with Rox-" Demyx looked back over to me, well... Where I should have been. I had got up and went into my was texting someone, ready to get out of the room we shaired.
"Ready to go?" Axel smiled at me, looking up from his phone. "We could bring Dem and Zex to Varsity?"
I nodded my head. "I'm always ready for some Varsity pizza!" Axel laughed.
"Guys, we are going to Varsity!" Axel called. Zexion emerged from the kitchen, holding a grabbed his sweat-shirt.
"Okay!" Demyx cheered. We left the dorm, heading for the amazing pizza place that I had come to love.
A slice of cheese and a Coke. My simplistic, ordinary, delicious order. I don't know why everyone's orders are so complex? Pepperoni and a Mountain Dew? Sausage and iced tea? Pepperoni and a Sprite? What is up with that? Okay, maybe I'm exagerating ALITTLE bit... Okay a lot...
The four of us sat down at one of the booths. Varsity was pretty packed after the honestly, didn't surprise me...
"Dang Axel, why didn't you take us here sooner?" Demyx whinned. "This place is AWESOME!"
Axel rolled his eyes and chuckled. "I would have if you and Zexion were free! Then we could all go!"
"But, we are all here now, and that is all that matters." Zexion sipped his iced tea. "Now, let me finish my meal in peace."
All of our eyes widened. "Jeez Zex..." I ate one of my last bites of my pizza. "I now know not to tick you off..."
Zexion softly chuckled as we finished our pizza.
Axel's POV:
I am VICTORIOUS! Wow I really suck at trying not to make my POV's non-girlish... Oh well! I still can't believe I made the winning basket... That was like, my dream come true! Okay, not really... But it was cool!
A few months went by and April was coming up. Roxas and I have been dating for a good... six months now. I am in so much love with him! He makes me feel... whole. Like I have something to live for. And he is good with my mom, which is ALWAYS a good thing!
Roxas and I have been going on more dates lately. They were short, but I enjoyed every single second of them. I would sometimes think of Roxas being home when I got off from work, cooking dinner for a future family we would have some day. But my thoughts are crazy. Roxas would never want to get married, have any type, form, or version of a family, and we would probably go our seperate ways after graduation.
The complete oposit of what I wanted. But I never talked about this to him before... And we are only sophmores... Kind of early, you think?
On one of our dates, Roxas and I were sitting up on the old clock tower, eating some sea-salt ice cream. We were silent for a bit. But Roxas looked at me and said, "What do you want in the future?"
The question caught me off-gaurd a bit, not knowing what to say. "Well... I want to get married... I'll work for this group, Orginization XIII... Have a family..." I looked at my melting ice cream."But the family thing is out..."
"Why?" Roxas asked. "Does it have to be?"
"Well... You wouldn't- I mean... Two guys can't have a kid... Right?" I blushed, hopping Roxas didn't catch my slip-up.
"Adoption?" Roxas smirked. "I always wanted a kid. Just for the feeling of being a parent."
"Would you ever think of marrying me?" I blurted. I smacked my free hand over my mouth. I was blushing like crazy! Did I really just say that?
Roxas seemed dazed by the question, but he quickly came to an answer."Well... Yeah. I think I would."
My eyes widened. "R-Really?"
Roxas nodded. "Yeah! Why not have a family with the love of your life?" Roxas smiled at me. "But not until after graduation."
"And we can't tell anybody." I raised an eyebrow. "No one. Not even your parents."
"Could I tell Sora?" Roxas lookeed up at the sky. "I tell him eveything. And I would never think about keeping it from him."
I nodded. "Of course, Roxas. Just no one else okay? Just Sora." Roxas sighed.
"I sure do miss him... But I'm getting better. Maybe one day... I'll be able to visit him... But not until I'm ready." Roxas threw away his popcicle stick.
I nodded. Roxas has been thinking a lot about Sora lately. Since their birthday was a few weeks Roxas has been managing to is better than good. It's amazing.
Roxas and I decided to head back down to dorms. It was getting late. The sun was setting over the horizon.
That night, Roxas did his prayer to Sora, telling him about what had happened on the clock tower. It was sweet, knowing how much Roxas cared for his brother, treating him like he was still here. But to Roxas, he still is.
Roxas and I snuggled in my bed like we do. I stared at the ceiling for a while, twirling Roxas's blonde looks like an angel when he sleeps. Like, nothing can disturb him.
It was still kind of hard to believe we were getting married in two years.
A/N Wow! A basketball game (which was poorly written) and marriage talk all in one chapter? Wow, I must be a magician or something... Lol... Thank you guys for the awesome reviews saying that my stories were actually getting better! It really means a lot! And I love you guys SOOO much there is no word to describe it!
