SCHOOOOOOLLL'SSSS OUT FOR SUMMER!
SCHOOOOOOLLL'SSSS OUT FOR-EVER!
I have to say too that this story is confusing me! I haven't written it for a week and I've forgotten who's who and all that stuff so I bet you there will be some mistakes (by some I mean loads!)
Anyyyyywayyyyys... Factoid of the chapter!
I struggle with these things so... I've never been in a relationship .Despite that I am writing romance stories with all my knowledge so good for me. I mean it's not that I can't get a boyfriend, I've rejected 3 boys already.I've just been put off by all those fanfics I've read... Sad really... That and it's partially because of the people I'm friends with. 3 nerds, 2 videogame geeks, 1 gay guy, 1 Pegasister and 3 anime lovers (Me and those 3 all cosplay together as our KH oc's: Xia, Laexi,Maxinne and Phynix!)Yeah and that's the also explains why my stories aren't very well written.
To Vanihina: The switch will carry on for until they get found out so about a couple of weeks. Thank you so much for teh review and I hope you remember your password! ;D xoxo
Anyway! Let's get on with chapter 5 with it's 1000 extra words! Hope you enjoy!
Me no own Kingdom Hearts or it's characters.
Ch. 5
Roxas' fifth lesson was boring, something to do with parallel intervals on a piano and how to mix them in with chords or something. When the lesson ended Roxas went over to Riku and waited for him to finish sweet talking the teacher into letting him have extra time on the assigned homework.
"You know Sora would kill you if he found out about you bribing the female teachers with your voice. Anyway she's like, what, 10 years older than you." Roxas said as they walked out of school and to the bus stop. Riku just smiled.
"You wouldn't dare tell Sora. Anyway her being those 10 years older than me and single means it just all that more easier for me to talk her into doing stuff for me. Vulnerable and she makes an easy target out of herself. Did you see her trying to chat up that boy not 20 minutes ago?" Roxas nodded and understood Riku's point of view and I guess it is true.
Seriously have you ever tried being actually nice to your teacher to get them to do something for you? Because 8 out of 10 times it will work, trust me I speak from experience. Bake a cake for them or something. I dunno whatever will make them like you more.
At that moment Lenaura came walking up to them.
"Hey Ven, and you Riku! So what you two talking about?" She said cheerily. Roxas turned around and smiled at her.
"We were just talking out that homework assignment we got and how Riku is not getting any help from me." Riku scowled, playing along.
"Come on Ven! I'm like your brother, you can't say no!" Lenaura giggled and took Roxas and Riku's hand walking in the middle of them swinging their arms back and forth.
"Aww, you two are so cute together~!" Roxas gagged.
"No we're not! Anyway Riku's going out with my younger brother, hence the whole 'I'm like your brother,' statement." Roxas clarified to his new friend. Lenaura just gasped and squee'd in excitement.
"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, OH MY GOSH! Riku! You're gay? No wonder you turned down all those girlfriend requests! How many was it? I'm sure I was counting… That's it! 184 girls from across the whole school! Year 7, 8, 9, 1o and 11's!" Riku shut his eyes and groaned.
"Ventus! I told you not to tell anyone!" Roxas and Lenaura smiled though.
"I'm sure Lenaura won't tell anyone!"
"I'll keep my mouth shut! It's a secret! I'll lock it in a box and put locks on that lock and put that box inside a box inside a box inside a box and bury the box inside a box inside a box inside a box and build a house on that box inside a box inside a box inside a box and live in that house that's on the box inside a box inside a box inside a box to keep it extra safe!" The amount Lenaura can say is equal to the amount Sora can say without breathing.
The three of them laughed right up until the point where the bus pulled up to the stop. The three of them boarded and sat down, telling more jokes and laughing their head off all the way.
~Meanwhile~
Fifth lesson was uneventful, unless you count Namine almost breaking £2000 worth of equipment eventful. Ventus went up to Sora and walked out to the school gate where they waited for the bus.
"Hey Sora was it really that obvious?" Ven questioned his brother who blinked at him blankly.
"What do you think? It's actually really easy to tell you and Rox apart when you're alone. I mean your hair always looks better than Rox's but you only notice it when you're not together, if you understand what I mean. That and when you're standing up you have much better posture and the veins on your left wrist blend in with your skin tone more. " Sora answered sounding really smart. Don't get me wrong. Sora is really intelligent, after all it's not every day you come across someone who has memorized the script to the first 3 Harry Potter movies!
"Huh…" Ven looked at the concrete street and thought hard about how to break the news to Rox again until he heard footsteps coming towards him. The echoing steps upon the pavement came to a halt and Ventus looked up to the person now standing next to him.
"I'm so sorry about before! It was rude of me pushing you away for a book; I hope you didn't take any offence from it! Congratulations on getting the part! But since when did you take the bus home? It's none of my business so if you don't want to answer then by all means don't!" Aurora was acting… different to say the least. Ventus played loads of video games with his brothers when he was younger and Aurora was just like that one character! It was a game called Summon Night Swordcraft Story 2 and there was a devil girl who had an angel inside of her, sort of like a split personality. Basically whenever the devil was being rude the angel would take over and apologize and when the angel was too nice she would become the devil girl again. Ventus shook the thought away and replied to the girl.
"Thanks Aurora… I always take the bus home. Always have and probably always will until I graduate." Ventus forced a smile but she sighed at him.
"Something's troubling you; I can see it in your eyes." Aurora gazed into Ventus' eyes and slightly tilted her head to the side.
"Is it really that obvious?" Ventus asked but peculiar girl shook her head.
"No. Not at all. I can tell when someone has negative feelings, even when they try to cover it up. It's like a sixth sense." Aurora said.
"Oh don't worry its fine I'm just really worried about the play. I mean I have to play the princess and I'm no girl!" Ventus let out a small laugh and Aurora smiled as well. The rest of the time was spent in silence until the bus came and the three had to board. As they walked on Aurora went over to sit next to her sister and Ventus and Sora went over to Roxas and Riku.
"Hi 'Ku! That text was so cute and I melted on the spot! I love you so so much!" Sora sat down and snuggled next to Riku who gave him a a small peck on the lips, fortunately Ventus held back his gag after all he couldn't say anything he kissed Vanitas AND invited Roxas' two enemies to their birthday party.
"Oh and Roxas I know you went with Riku and Ven came with me!" Roxas blinked as he stared in shock at his brother.
"Sora… Ven you let SORA find out? Out of everyone you let Sora find out?!" Roxas looked so mad at that moment but Ven put on his cutest most irresistible puppy dog face.
"Well you let me find out. How's that any different?" Riku interjected into a battle of concentration between Roxas who was trying hard to not fall victim to his brother's face and Ventus who was trying hard to break his brother's defences.
"There! You can't say anything!" Ventus said smugly claiming victory. Or so he thought before Sora decided to butt in.
"Technically he can since you did kiss Vanitas and let him find out! Twice as well!" Sora giggled. Then he realized what he had said and sunk in his chair.
"You let him kiss you?! Oh my god Ventus. Vanitas is the worst of the two of them! Wait, they're both horrible! Why would you do that?! Terra didn't do anything did he? Oh Ven you know how bad this is? Vanitas is mean, controlling and will play mind games with you!" Roxas exclaimed clearly freaking the hell out but this made Ven angry. The younger of the twins clenched his fists and started to talk.
"What can you say?! You push them away from you and don't get to know them! You know if you just got to know them you might just like them. Terra is a bit extravagant but so what? He's kind, amazing and sweet. And Vanitas? He has the most entrancing voice, he's may act all tough but he's a soft, calm, beautiful person! If I didn't know better it's you who's being mean to them so you can't say anything about someone without knowing them properly first!" Ventus turned his head away from his brother and stared out the window angrily leaving his brother to sit there ashamed of his actions and words. Roxas looked down and muttered,
"I guess you do have a right to say that after what I did…" Ven perked up a bit and turned his head slowly.
"What did you do?" Roxas whispered some words. Ven sighed. "What was that?" Roxas bit down hard and damn did it hurt (I advise you not to bite your lips, it's painful and there is a 30% chance they will bleed.) making him say what he had said again.
"I invited Axel to our birthday party… And he…" Roxas went back to a whisper.
"And he what?"
"He found out about me." Sora didn't like the awkward feels in the bus so he thought it would be great if he just told Roxas everything.
"Oh don't worry about it Rox! After all I invited Terra and Vanitas and their coming for a sleepover too so don't worry about it! Oh and I guess that means Xion and Axel will be sleeping round too… Anyway let's just sit in peace and forget about everything that's been said alright?" The twins nodded and Riku smiled, he loved it when his boyfriend took control and was all assertive. The rest of the bus ride, as Sora decided it would be, was peaceful. When the bus pulled over outside Roxas, Ventus and Sora's they said goodbye to Lenaura and Aurora then got off. Sora knocked on the door and they waited for somebody to let them in.
"Hello?" A girl with midnight black hair opened the door.
"Xi you're home! Yay! I missed you and and this is my boyfriend!" Sora got all excited as he introduced Riku and got to see the girl.
"Hi Riku, Sora's been telling me all about you via Facebook but I didn't think you'd look so good. Oh don't worry about me trying to go after you! I've got a girlfriend and I don't think Sora would let me either." Xion laughed.
"Hi Xion how was boarding school? You're lucky your holidays start a week early!" Ven said smiling.
"Oh it was amazing! Since it was an all girls school I missed you all but it was nice to get attention for everyone when I showed them your pictures. They were all 'them three are your brothers?! No way they're so cute!' but that just made it harder for me to tell them that you're gay!"
"Can we come in or are you gonna make us stand outside?" Roxas asked in a pissed off kind of way. Xion sighed, while keeping her smile on her face, and let the four of them in. Leon came running down the stairs laughing his head off, holding on to the banister to stop himself from falling over.
"Damn it Leon! Get up here and un-cuff me!" Cloud shouted down the stairs, half whining, at the brunet who looked as if he was going to cry.
"Fine, fine but only if you let me blindfold you next time!" Leon called but Roxas wasn't in a laughing mood and cleared his throat, loudly did he clear his throat.
"Oh… Hehehe… Roxas, Sora, Ventus, Riku and Xion how are you?" Leon asked in a serious manner, once he had swivelled round and noticed the 5 children standing there awkwardly, as he scratched the back of his neck.
"Fine but I can tell you, Cloud will come storming down those stairs in… about 10 seconds." Sora said puffing his cheeks out and just as he predicted.
1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6… 7… 8… 9… 10…
"Leon you-! Oh hi guys… Already back?" Cloud now stood halfway down the staircase dressed in some baggy black trousers and a white t-shirt with Leon's fur lined jacket on top.
"You got dressed quickly. How on earth did you manage to get those hand cuffs off?" Roxas smiled before rolling his eyes. Cloud moved out the way and Roxas (Yes the real one) scuffed his feet upstairs and slammed his bedroom door.
"Whoa… What's wrong with Ven?" Cloud asked the four remaining kids who were still just standing there. They shrugged their shoulders and dispersed. Xion to the kitchen, Sora and Riku to Sora's room and Ventus to his.
"Well… How about that blindfold, Clo?" Leon smirked.
~In Roxas' room~
Roxas got changed then sat back to back with the door and shut his eyes as he inhaled deeply. 'Why…? Everything is messed up and it's only the first day… Axel's acting strange, Marluxia and Larxene are gonna kill me and that STUPID DREAM WON'T GO AWAY! Why is it always me…? I'm ruining everyone's lives. Ven's at the moment, Cloud's before and before that I drove mom to killing herself… No. Clo told me it wasn't my fault. But then why do I feel so responsible. She even said it was me… She even blamed me… Maybe I should just fall off the edge of the earth, after all it's always my fault…'
~* 7 Years Ago *~
"I'm home…" Roxas whispered to himself. Cloud was still at high school, Sora was round Riku's house, Kai was at a private school and Ven was in the hospital due to him being involved in a car crash just 1 week ago. Roxas was only 8 years old and a mere 1 meter 19 centimetres but he could look after himself. He took off his shoes and walked up the stairs to his room where he placed his bag down and got changed. As he was pulling his top over his head of blonde spikes he heard the door open and realized someone was home as well. He opened his door and rushed down the stairs (after all a child needs to be looked after no matter how mature they are.) to find his mother home.
"Welcome home mom!" He said cheerily but she snorted at him. You see his mother didn't care for her kids ever since she became an alcoholic when her husband left her and developed serious suicidal issues.
"Why are you so happy eh? Go, clean your room." His mom said. Roxas could tell she was drunk so he did as he was told and went to his room. Not 30 minutes later, Roxas heard an ear piercing scream so he ran to his mother. She was sitting on the floor shaking her head furiously.
"No! Go away you stupid images!" She screamed and screamed.
"M-mom! Calm down everything's okay!" Roxas had seen Cloud take care of this situation many times so he felt the need to do it too.
"Roxas! This all your fault! You and Ventus and Sora and Cloud all so happy! You know, I knew Cloud was going to end up gay. I knew Sora would make loads of friends being so kind and helpful. I knew Ventus was going to end up the way he is and die at a young age. And guess what else I knew? That YOU would be the fault of my death! Some time you need to stop being so stupid and get a life. I have to constantly look after you, constantly be kind to you but you know what YOU are a brat! A stupid, unfriendly, angsty, worthless brat!" At that moment she got up and stumbled into the kitchen bringing back a huge knife. She placed the knife at her chest and said one last thing to her son.
"This is your entire fault… I never loved you!" As she drew the blade back Cloud walked into the house to see his younger brother bawling with thousands of tears running down his face and his mother about to kill herself.
"Rox!" He shouted and he drew his brother towards him with his eyes against his stomach averting his gaze and he watched as the knife stabbed right through her chest, killing her in a few seconds. Roxas turned his head slightly to see his mother but he saw only her corpse covered in crimson blood...
~* Present Time *~
Roxas screamed then started to get teary eyed as he sat on his bed the tears started to flood they didn't stop. Cloud and Leon came running first opening the door to find Roxas with his face buried in his hands and resting on his knees.
"Oh my god Rox! Are you okay?!" Cloud immediately went over to his brother and tried to comfort him.
"I… I… I saw mo-m aga-in…" Roxas whimpered and the rest of his family (including Riku) was now in his bedroom wondering what happened.
"Oh God… Uh could you all leave for a moment?" Cloud asked politely and they did, Leon closing the door behind him. Cloud sat next to Roxas and put an arm around his shoulder.
"Okay Rox. What happened?" Roxas calmed his breathing and kept his face hidden but he answered.
"I was thinking about how I've messed up you life and Ven's and then I remembered mom and it just came back to me. Exactly what happened, when I came home, what she did, what she said and then… That was it. She'd s… stabbed herself…"
"Oh Rox it wasn't your fault! She was drunk and didn't know what she was saying."
"But then why did it sound so true…?" Roxas whispered almost inaudible. The two of them sat in silence until Leon knocked on the door and came in.
"Rox… Someone's at the door for you… Should I tell them to go away or…?" Roxas looked up and shook his head.
"I'll come down." He said emotionlessly. He placed his feet on the ground and hugged Cloud then left for the front door.
"What happened to him?" Leon asked.
"He remembered the day mom died. He was the only one to hear her last words I guess the memory came back vividly…" Cloud answered as he got up to hug his boyfriend.
~ DOWNSTAIRS ~
Roxas opened the door and put on a small smile, while still looking down.
"Hello. What do you want?"
"Huh? You acted so cheerful at school today Rox. What's the matter?" Roxas looked up and met those bright green eyes. Axel…
"A-Axel! You know where I live?!"
"Duh. I did say I hacked into the computer data base. I found out more about you than just who you are." At that moment Ventus came down the stairs to check on Roxas but saw Axel first.
"A-Axel! You know where I live?!" Ventus stuttered making Axel laugh.
"Oh my god… You two really are twins. No worries Ven. I won't hurt ya. I'm here to talk to Roxy" Roxas slapped him.
"Don't. Ever. Call me. Roxy. Ven, Ax hacked into the school database, hence the reason he knows about you and me. Oh and seriously don't worry. He won't hurt you as long as I'm here." Ventus slowly nodded his head and stood next to Roxas. Axel started to ramble on about something and Ven whispered to Rox.
"What happened earlier?" He asked and Roxas answered with,
"I just remembered mom and the pool of crimson blood she lay in when she… died." Ventus patted his brother on the back and they both looked up at Axel. You know when Roxas mentioned the whole crimson blood thing it just drew his attention to Axel's hair. It was exactly the same colour of her blood, the same shade and everything. Roxas became teary eyed again but held the tears back forcing them to not come out.
"Hello? Are ya listening down there? Anyway I was saying. Help me with the homework? Ven can help too!" Axel literally got on his knees and begged with a cute pout and everything. 'He's so damn cute like that! Roxas shut up! You're right he's not cute! He is my enemy and Ven's! Exactly! So stop thinking about him being cute, cuz he ain't! Yes. You're right Roxas he is not cute and is my enemy!' Roxas argued with himself about Axel being cute but he wasn't one to be so mean as to send away someone when it was this late, (Roxas was lying to himself. It wasn't even close to 5pm yet and there was at least another 4 hours of daylight!) Nope not even Roxas was that cruel.
"Fine come in and Ven will take you to his room. It's cleaner than mine and better for doing homework in since it's the only silent place in the house." Roxas sighed and mentally slapped himself for saying those words. Axel walked past Roxas and smiled at Ventus.
"Lead the way!" And he pointed to the stairs. Ventus sighed and walked up the stairs, took a left and entered the door on the left with Axel following closely behind.
~DOWNSTAIRS (again.)~
"Who was that Roxas?" Xion asked in a sing-song type of voice. Roxas rolled his eyes.
"He's a friend, Xion." The blonde replied as he rolled his eyes.
"Is he a 'friend' or a friend?" Xion asked slyly.
"A friend is a friend. I don't see the difference between 'friend' and friend. After all a friend is someone who is friendly in a friend like manner." Xion looked confused. Obviously Roxas used the word friend too much.
"What? Anyway to make it simple for your brain is he a friend like you and Riku or a friend like Sora and Riku? You know...a sexually related friend in a relationship between friends like 'boyfriend' friends." Roxas gagged.
"Firstly don't talk about Sora and Riku's sex life. Secondly wording law limits you to how many times you can say friend at once before it sounds stupid and thirdly. Thirdly no, just no, Axel and I are not sex partners! Jeez!" Roxas stormed off up the stairs.
"Maybe not yet..." Xion sang to herself.
~UPSTAIRS (When Ven and Ax were alone in the room (No not like that you dirty people!))~
"So Axel why are you here? Don't tell me you have the hots for my brother." Ven stared at the boy who had bullied him for a year in a way he had never before.
"Bingo! I mean how often do you get to see a boy with that much flexibility? He'd be great in bed, spreading his legs as far as he can so I can hit his sweet spot over and over again and hear his voice moaning my name and then..." Ventus shuddered.
"Stop, I don't need images of my brother being pounded by you in my head. Why do you think he's gay anyway?"
"Come on, it's obvious." Ven laughed a bit.
"I guess you're right. But I'm not gonna forgive you for all that stuff you did to me." Ventus said going straight to the point.
"Damn... At least give me a few tips on how I can get him to like me!" Ventus contemplated the request then came up with an idea.
"I'm fine with that but only if you buy me a dress!" Axel sniggered.
"You want a dress?! Bwahahaha! That's hilarious!"
"Come on! You owe me and I don't have to tell you why either." Axel carried on grinning as he nodded.
"First don't go straight to being nice to him. Apologize about me first then compliment his eyes or his skin."
"Eyes and skin got it! You know I wanna know does everyone in your family have ocean like eyes?"
"Yep, we all inherited them from our mother... Secondly find out what he likes so his favourite band, song, his idol and the general stuff like birthday, star sign and all that jazz. Now after that step start being nice. Next ask him on date but don't use the word date and... I'll let you figure the rest out." Ven was being unusually kind to Axel. It's just when he's outside of school he acts nice and doesn't give off evil vibes like he wants to kill you. At that moment Roxas swung the door open and asked,
"Do you want to get started?" Axel and Ventus nodded and Roxas sat down on the bed with Ven on the chair at the desk and Axel on the floor.
