Chapter two: Hanging Around

Axel tapped his foot as he patiently waited outside of the maths room he'd seen the new blond enter earlier. Sure the guy had been pretty rude to him earlier but the kid still seemed interesting. He'd ended up acting out of character around Roxas and his friends had definitely noticed. He sighed as he remembered lunch earlier that day.

"Hey Axel, what's with you and that Roxas kid? You seem even more determined to talk to him then you do most guys?" Marluxia asked. He seemed curious but Axel knew that if he ever did something to upset the pink haired boy it would be used against him. The red head shrugged,

"He just seems cool, wouldn't mind having him join us y'know," he answered. The dirty blond boy sitting on the table beside the red head nodded enthusiastically.

"That would be so cool! We could talk music all the time," he exclaimed. Zexion just grunted in reply while a blonde girl sitting near them raised an eyebrow.

"You guys seem taken by this kid, what's so special about him?" she asked. Axel frowned,

"Nothing Larx, just stay away from him," he replied coolly. The blonde girl with antenna like bangs just raised an eyebrow before she smirked a little.

"Whatever you say Ax."

Axel frowned at the memory; he'd have to watch Larxene and Roxas. That girl was dangerous and she was bound to bring Marluxia in to help her with whatever devious plans she cooked up. The door beside him finally opened as a stream of students rushed out, no one wanted to stay in this evil institute any longer then they had too. Roxas was the last to leave but he walked straight past the waiting red head. Axel frowned but he pushed off the wall and caught up to the blond easily with his long legs.

"Hey Roxy," he greeted. The smaller boy frowned, he just wanted to meet up with Sora and go home. The day had not run smoothly and he was pissed off. They were studying a subject he'd never been taught before in Maths and he was totally confused and annoyed over it.

"Just leave me alone Axel," he muttered as he continued to walk off. Axel frowned again,

"Bad day?" he asked.

He didn't want to be in the cute blond's bad books, he didn't have many friends and when he met someone he wanted to get to know he wasn't going to give up. Sure he could have had as many friends as he wanted, everyone had wanted to be his friend when he'd first started high school but they had all been shallow and just wanted him to buy them things. Yes he was rich; both of his parents were successful business partners. Sadly it wasn't the same in their marital relationship anymore. Their marriage was an empty shell and they only stayed together for their sons and they'd already driven Reno away with the lies. His face dropped at the thought and at the exact same time Roxas turned around. He raised an eyebrow but he didn't say anything. The two boys walked in silence for a few moments before Roxas sighed.

"What do you want?" he asked quietly as they left the main school building. He could see Sora waiting by the gates, speaking to Kairi and his other friend Riku. Axel looked down at the boy slightly surprised before he answered with a grin,

"To hang out, I thought maybe we could go to the park or something." Roxas rolled his eyes,

"I can't, I promised my mum I'd help at home," he answered. The blond boy then met up with his brother and the boy's proceeded to head home. Axel sighed, the boy obviously didn't like him…but he wouldn't give up. He wanted Roxas to be his friend and he always got what he wanted. Don't you usually complain about that? Now you're using it to try and get a kid to be your friend…yeah right. You just want to get in his pants his inner-self chided. Axel scowled, he knew that damn voice was partly right but he wasn't going to admit it. He then sighed a little and began to trudge back to his own house; hopefully both of his parents would still be at work.

-----------------------

"Wasn't that the guy from earlier," Sora asked as he looked back to the red head. Roxas rolled his eyes; there wasn't anyone else around with hair like that.

"Yes it was," he answered. Sora looked to his twin with a raised eyebrow, expecting more of an answer. When he didn't get one he huffed and began to sulk. The blond couldn't help but laugh at that, his twin was so childish at times that it was funny. Other times however it was down right annoying. Sora began to grin again and uncrossed his arms.

"What do you think of the school then?" the brunet twin asked as they entered their street,

"It's alright I guess, nothing special," Roxas answered with a shrug. Sora nodded before he ran to the house and inside. Roxas walked after him and was greeted inside by his mother smiling brightly at him.

"Welcome back boy's, good day at school? Make any new friends?" she greeted, bombarding them with questions already. Sora chattered brightly as he took his shoes off and bounded into the living room to watch TV. Roxas tuned his mother and sibling out as he headed up the stairs and into his room. He dropped his bag on his bed and flopped down beside it. Today had been tiring. He yawned a little and closed his eyes for a few seconds before there was a knock on his open door. He opened one eye and sat up at the sight of his mum. She smiled kindly at her blond son before she entered the room.

"Was school alright for you Roxas? You didn't have any problems did you?" she asked, worry ebbing into her voice. Roxas shook his head before he shot her a half hearted grin,

"It was fine, just tiring," he answered. He wasn't that keen on the idea of telling his parents about the trouble he'd almost got into or about the red headed stalker he might have gained. He sighed heavily at the thought; he hoped Axel would ignore him for the rest of the year. Mrs. Hikari frowned a little before she left the room. She worried about her younger twin son a lot. He was never that social and it wasn't uncommon for him to make enemies with a few careless words. She'd lost count of the amount of people who'd attempted to be his friend to only be ignored or been insulted by something Roxas did or said. She sighed, she'd hoped things would be different at this school but it didn't look like it…oh well there was still hope. At this thought she put a smile on again before she headed into the kitchen to start dinner.

------------------------

Axel hummed to himself as he walked up his street. All the houses in this area were more modern and not a single one looked the same inside or outside. His was the one furthest down the street. It was a long white building with wide windows on both floors and both sides of the house. A smaller window was in the middle of the two larger windows on the second floor of the house and there was one above it in the attic space. His room was the attic room. As he entered the familiar building as usual it didn't feel like a home should feel to him. All the rooms had pastel colours which his mother had chosen and the large rooms all felt empty. The only room he ever felt comfortable in was his own.

He rushed up to his room as quickly as possible and as soon as he entered the warm room he let out the breath he didn't know he'd been holding. His room was painted red and he had black curtains over his small window. He had a wide screen TV in one corner and a king sized double bed covered with a black comforter decorated with flames was on the other side. A large desk with a computer and littered with sketchbooks and CD's was in front of the window. One black door led to a large walk in closet while one beside it led to his ensuite bathroom. Sure it was a little fancy but he liked it and he felt at home whenever he was here. He plopped down on his bed and picked up his guitar from beside it. All his friends were busy and Roxas hadn't wanted to hang out so he was stuck here…alone and bored. He sighed and began to pluck out a random tune he'd taught himself only a few months ago. He'd just hang out in here until his parents got back.

-----------------------

A few hours went by, dinner had been and gone, homework was all complete and Roxas was bored. He'd called up Hayner-he was grounded-, Pence-he wasn't in-and Olette-she was doing homework. With all his friend's busy he had nothing to do. He sighed before he pulled himself up and headed over to his wardrobe to change out of his school clothes. He might as well go to the park. He'd only discovered it the day before and he'd like to explore it some more before the weekend. He changed into a white long sleeved shirt with black and white checkers going across the chest with jeans and black converse. He pulled his usual white and black checkered wrist band on and grabbed his mobile and his jacket. Headed downstairs and informed everyone he was going out before he headed out to the park.

"It's melting on our faces
It's running down our places
That we both hide in the dark tonight
This is the way we do things
Spontaneous exciting
I wish the world was always this inviting," Roxas sung quietly as he entered the park and passed a shaded area under some trees. There was a chuckle from that area and Roxas stopped unsurely.

"Never figured you'd be singing something like that Roxy," an oddly familiar voice commented before Axel stepped out of the shade. He had one hand in his pocket while the other held a box of cigarettes and a lighter. The blond scowled before he began to walk again,

"Well you don't know me do you…and it's Roxas, not Roxy," he shot back. The red head grinned at the blond's back before he pulled his hand out and proceeded to light one of the cigarettes. He chuckled before he placed the item in his mouth and took a drag. He caught up with Roxas as he blew the smoke out and didn't miss the disgusted look the boy shot him.

"What? Don't you like smoke blondie?" he asked in an amused tone. Roxas opened his mouth to snap at him but he shut it again quickly and moved further away from him. Axel took another drag before he smirked and took a step closer to the boy,

"Afraid I'll bite your tongue or something?" he mocked before he dropped his unfinished cigarette and stamped it out. Roxas just turned around and was about to head back home when Axel stepped in front of him and shook his head,

"Not very friendly are ya kid?" The blond boy scowled as he took in the taller boy's outfit. He wore a black waistcoat over a red t-shirt and black skinny jeans and the same converse he'd worn to school. The red headed watched the smaller boy's eyes study him and smirk,

"I'm one hot devil aren't I," he joked. Roxas rolled his eyes and tried to get past Axel again but once again the taller boy stopped him.

"You look pretty hot yourself," he added seriously. Roxas stopped then and blinked at the taller boy before his expression transformed into a glare,

"Don't fuck around Axel," he snapped. The red head stared at him confused the blond boy managed to shove past him and head home. His cheeks were slightly red and he didn't know why. Plenty of girls had called him hot yet he'd never reacted like this before.

"Roxas wait up! What did I say?" Axel asked from behind him before he heard him jogging to catch up with the flustered blond.

"I was only teasing!" he exclaimed but Roxas just carried on walking.

"Just fuck off Axel, you've been causing me trouble since this morning…can't you just leave me alone," he growled before he started jogging himself and left the park as quickly as possible. Axel stopped still and frowned,

"What's up with him," he grumbled as he ran a hand through his spiky hair. What's up with you, more like his inner voice replied. Axel sighed before he pulled his phone out if his pocket and called the only person he knew he could talk to about this. As he called the familiar number he thought about whatever he'd done wrong. Roxas obviously didn't believe his lie about it being a tease. He's blatantly not gay so give up already. The red head growled just as the person on the other end of the phone picked up.

"Hey Dem."

------------------

Roxas stopped a few streets away from the park and sighed. He wasn't blushing or annoyed anymore…just confused. Axel had told him he was cute in such a serious tone…Axel wasn't gay was he? Roxas shook his head, why was he even pondering this? It didn't mean anything to Roxas, Axel was just an annoying jerk. He's not that bad, you got along with him and his friends quite well during English and c'mon he isn't that bad looking either…you can't deny it. You were checking him out in the park! His inner self argued. Roxas growled and pulled at his hair in frustration. He couldn't take it right now. He began to walk again and wasted no time arriving back at his house and rushing back to his room. Both Sora and their mum noticed something was wrong with the blond boy. Sora stood and cautiously followed Roxas to his room.

Roxas pounded his fists against his pillow, he was mad again but this time at himself more then Axel. Why was he letting this silly little thing bother him so much? You know why. It's because you're starting to like him. There was a knock at his door and he turned his head to see Sora come in.

"What's up Rox? You seemed really pissed off when you came in," he questioned as he entered and sat on his brother's black and white comforter. The blond put his pillow down and ran a hand through his messy blond hair,

"I saw Axel down at the park…and he flirted with me," he explained dryly. The brunet's blue eyes widened and he watched his brother carefully.

"And?" he egged on. Roxas sighed in expatriation,

"And I don't know! I got angry and started blushing and I stormed off, he claimed he was teasing but he sounded serious and now I'm confused," he exclaimed before he picked up his pillow again and buried his face in it.

"Maybe you have a crush on him," Sora suggested quietly. Roxas didn't move,

"I'm not gay Sora," he replied, his voice muffled by his pillow. Sora shook his head, Roxas was stubborn.

"Well try and be his friend then, maybe you can't find out why he acts the way he does…" he said before he left the room and muttered under his breath,

"And see if you like him or not.". Roxas sat up again and frowned while biting his lip, maybe he could try and be Axel's friend. He didn't seem completely bad. Yes that was what he'd do.

At that moment Roxas vowed to try and be Axel's friend no matter how much the red head pissed him off.

------------------------

The lyrics Roxas was singing were from The Summer Obsession's "Melt the Sugar".

I'm not that keen on that chapter but I hoped you guys enjoyed it.
