ANYWAY enough of my yanking, enjoy!

Roxas looked at him. Did…Someone just turn Axel off to?
"Axel, what do you..?"
Before he could ask, the redhead turned and bolted away.

The rain started to get harder.

O.o.O.o.O

Ms. Gainsborough told the class she didn't feel like talking much. So everyone had to do some worksheets.
Crosswords, sudoku, math problems. It all seemed endless.

"Ms. Gainsborough?" Roxas raised his hand, everyone in class stared at him.
He had been the first student to talk since recess.
"Y-yes Roxas?" She hesitantly walked over to him, "What do you need?"
"Why is everyone acting weird? Is it the rain?"
She patted him on the head, "I wish it was Roxas…." She patted him again, "I wish it was…"

O.o.O.o.O

Roxas' mom was parked in her normal spot to pick him up.
Getting in, he noticed a dent in the door.
"What happened?" He asked, shutting it behind him.

His mother shrugged, "Accident I guess…"
"You guess?"
"Your father parked next to a pole today at the supermarket…I opened it and hit it."
"Why was dad home?"
"….He…." She sighed, "He was fired…"

Roxas watched as his mothers face went from sad, to much worse.
She was on the verge of crying, was it from the dent?

Roxas placed a hand on his mothers shoulder, "Its okay mom, we can get a dent out…"
She shook her head, the tears falling freely, "No Roxas…Do you know what 'getting fired' means?"
"Uh…" He withdrew his hand, "No, not really but it cant be that bad…Right?"

The drive home was quiet.

O.o.O.o.O

Roxas was to spend the rest of the day in his room until called for dinner.
He hugged his knees to his chest and watched the rain pelt the window.
It still hadn't stopped.

He thought about the stories Axel had told him.
With every word that he said, those places seemed more and more real.
Roxas even fancied the idea of…visiting them, but that thought soon left his mind.
Those places weren't real.
He would be stuck in this boring town the rest of his life.
No adventure for Roxas….

"Roxas!" His mother called, "Dinner!"

Roxas had a feeling this meal wasn't going to be to fun…

O.o.O.o.O

He was almost always right about things like that.

"What's fired?" He asked, his mouth full of potatoes.
Both his parents stopped chewing in sync.
"Well…" His father began.
He was always the optimist, "It means…" He smiled, "I'll be spending everyday with you son!"
Roxas returned the smile.
His mother cried silently.

O.o.O.o.O

Roxas tossed and turned in his bed.
The rain was keeping him awake.
It had gotten much harder since recess, he was glad he was inside.

Finally he fell asleep on the idea of Axel.
He would be at recess tomorrow.
He would tell Roxas even more stories.
And if it was raining and cold, Axel would warm him up.

O.o.O.o.O

The next day was much like the one before it.
The rain had still not stopped, and Roxas noticed a few more yards that looked unkempt.

His teacher was absent to.
Her replacement was tall and thin.
He had blond hair that was tied up in a pony tail, and green eyes.
"I am to be called Mr. Nozawa, and nothing else." He slammed his hands onto the desk, hard, and added, "Understood class?"

Roxas couldn't stop staring at this ugly man.
He had eyes just like Axel, and yet…So unlike Axel.
They were the same colour, but underneath them…Roxas couldn't put his finger on it.
But something big made them very unlike Axel's eyes.

O.o.O.o.O

The whole class was excited to be released from class for recess.
This was the happiest Roxas had seen them in a few days.

It was odd. The first Friday of the year, and it was raining harder then it ever had in Twilight Town, and it didn't seem like anyone had any weekend plans.

Roxas didn't, but that was because he didn't have friends.
He took one step out of the door and was greeted by Axel.
Red hair, green eyes, face tattoos, and big, strong hands.
Big, strong hands that were pulling him fairly hard away from the door.

Axel seemed…scared of something, and he kept mumbling about having to 'get away' from someone called 'Vexen'.

Axel stopped once they rounded a corner, and were a safe distance away from Roxas' classroom.
"Axel, what-"
"Don't worry about it Roxas, I just…wanted you to get to recess faster, Ya know?"
Roxas raised an eyebrow and shook his head, "No, I don't…"

Axel thought for a second, "Uh, well…I just…" He smiled big and clapped his hands together, "I just wanted you not to stand in the rain! I didn't want you to catch a cold, right?" He nodded, "Right."

He grabbed Roxas once more and pulled him to the ground, where they remained the rest of recess.
Roxas was happy to just be with his only friend.
Wait, friend…

"Hey Axel?" He smiled at the redhead, "Can I ask you something?"
Axel nodded, "Sure, anything."
"Wanna spend the night this weekend?"

Axel was shocked, "Uh well…I would love to Roxas but…"
He laughed nervously, "You see, I'm kinda old for that stuff…"
Roxas' smile soon faded, "No you're not…You just don't want to…"

Axel shook his hands at Roxas, "whoa whoa whoa! Slow down Roxas!" He could see tears forming, he had to think fast, "Listen I'll…I promise I'll visit you this weekend, okay?"
Roxas still looked sad.
Axel placed a hand on his head, ruffled his hair, "I cant 'spend the night', but I'll visit. And I'll make it worth your while, and I know you'll have a good time just…" He sighed, "Don't cry…"

Roxas looked up at him, even sitting down he was hugely taller then him, "Are you just saying that so I wont cry?"
"No, of course not!" He left out a mock-angry 'humph', "You're my best friend Roxas…I…" He smiled, was he reminiscing again?, "I really miss hanging out with you, so this weekend I'll take you somewhere special. But there's a rule."

Roxas began to smile again, "What is it?"
"You cant," Axel shook a finger at him, "And I mean cant, tell your parents about any of it. Deal?"
Roxas nodded, "Deal."

They sat and smiled at each other until one burst out laughing. Then they laughed together for a while.
Roxas thought it felt good to laugh with Axel.

Note: And she wrote fluffly Akuroku moments, and they were good.
