I'm updating again!
I suddenly got inspiration during English and I started writing it when everyone else was supposed to be working on starting an essay.

Okay then just a quick disclaimer and warning and then onto the next chapter.
Chibi RoseRosa: RoseRosa does not own Kingdom Hearts, if she did Sora would have died in the first game and the Organization would rule the worlds!
Warning: Plenty of Sora and Hayner bashing this chapter so if you like those two please don't kill me!
Chapter Five: A Tiring Weekend
It was early Saturday morning as Roxas was awoken by his phone ringing. The blond groaned as he slowly opened his eyes and felt around on his bedside table before he grasped the small black device.
"'Ello?" he greeted groggily. The blond stupidly didn't check the number, expecting it just to be Hayner calling about the day's plans.
"Morning Rox!"
The annoyingly familiar voice woke Roxas up pretty quickly.
"Axel!? How the hell did you get my number!?"
"Sora."
Roxas growled quietly, that god damn brother of his was going to die when he got his hands on him. First suggesting that he was gay, then he tricked Axel into walking with him the day before and then he gave the redhead his mobile number. Sora must have been trying to make his life a misery. He definitely deserved to die a slow and painful death. First he'd stick something sharp and pointy up his butt then he'd kick him in the crotch several times and finally he'd beat him to death with some sort of blunt object.
"Err Rox? You still there?"
Roxas was brought out of his reverie; he hadn't realized he'd been spacing out.
"Yeah."
"Good, I was just wondering if you wanted to hang out today."
"I already have plans with Hayner."
Roxas could practically hear the pout Axel probably had down the other end of the phone.
"Awwh, can't you just ditch him? He's a dick anyway."
There was a moment of silence before Axel spoke again, sounding extremely smug,
"See, even you can't argue with my logic."
Roxas ran a hand through his hair, gently tugging at it out of frustration,
"Just shut up Axel, I'm not hanging out with you today and that's that." The blond boy then ended the call before he flopped back on his bed.
--
Axel groaned as he dropped his phone onto the bed beside him before he flopped back onto the bed.
"I take that as he said no," Demyx commented as he looked up from where he was tuning his guitar on Axel's floor.
The dirty blond haired boy had came over to jam with Axel like he had done every other Saturday morning for four years but it had turned out the redhead had other plans. Demyx hadn't been sent home though, oh no he'd offered to stay and try and help his friend. Sadly that didn't mean doing much at the moment.
"We could always go around town and see if we can find him later," the mullhawked boy suggested. Axel suddenly sat up,
"Great idea!" He exclaimed, Demyx grinned proud he'd actually thought up a useful idea this time. Wait until he told Zexion! Not that the emo boy would care but Demyx told Zexion everything much to the lilac haired boy's dismay.
"Now help me pick out something to wear," Axel was up and inside his closet, throwing out anything he thought unsuitable. Demyx grinned and quickly joined him.
Axel had pretty much admitted he had a crush on Roxas now. Sure he'd only known him a week but Roxas was…well Roxas was just Roxas. He didn't fake anything, he didn't bother hiding his emotions and not to mention he was cute! It wasn't love though. Axel wasn't a fool. Love at first sight was non-existent; crushes however could be formed extremely quickly.
He thought he may grow to fall in love Roxas though.
--
It was around two hours later when Roxas finally left for the usual spot. Hayner hadn't called him again; he'd already given Roxas the time the night before so he probably couldn't be bothered too. The blond snorted at that thought.
It was only a ten minute walk from his house and the small den Hayner, Olette and Pence had created for them to hang out in years ago. As Roxas was part of their gang now it was his spot to hang out in as well. It had been pretty useful over the summer when he'd had to escape from Sora and his constant chirpiness.
As Roxas entered the Usual Spot he saw Hayner sitting there waiting, reading a comic he'd left there the last time they'd all hung out there.
"Hey," they both greeted at the same time. This caused Hayner to chuckle as he stood up,
"Come on, I thought we could get some ice cream then go sit on the clock tower," Hayner told him before he grabbed the smaller blond's wrist and began to drag him out.
"Hayner, I can walk by myself you know," Roxas chuckled as he freed his wrist. The other blond grinned sheepishly,
"Sorry, it's just cool to be able to hang out with just you," he apologized; a hint of bitterness was easily detectable in his voice. Roxas' face fell a moment,
"If you're just going to complain about Axel and his friends all day then just go now."
Hayner frowned at Roxas' attitude but it soon transformed into an all out scowl,
"It's starting to sound like you'd rather hang out with them then me, you're always with them around school and after school you're too busy with other things," he snapped. An air of hostility seeming to wrap it's tendril like fingers around Roxas.
"It's your own bloody fault Hayner, you're the one who always goes off and yeah so what if I might want to hang around them more then I want to be with you right now because you're acting like a spoilt child," he growled. He took a step forward and Hayner visibly flinched but he didn't step back and he continued to glare back.
"Awwh how sad, looks like the chicken wusses just broke up how sad," a cruel voice mocked. Both Hayner and Roxas turned to glare at the interruption.
Seifer.
When the Hikari family had first moved to Twilight Town a few weeks ago now Roxas and Sora had encountered Seifer, Rai and Fuu-or the Disciplinary Committee as they liked to call themselves-quite early on. In fact Hayner, Pence and Olette had helped them out of some trouble with the gang. Ever since Roxas had started to hang around with Hayner, Pence and Olette the guy had seemed to take a special interest in Roxas and never missed a chance to mock him and Hayner by spreading rumours that they were dating etc. Everyone knew it was just because he was uncomfortable with his own sexuality though. Everyone knew of the time he'd been practically stalking Leon, the brunet had almost had to quit his job but he'd sorted the beanie wearing kid out in the end.
There was the sound of more footsteps coming from the other side of them,
"Why don't you leave them alone Seifer," a calm voice came.
Roxas whirled around in surprise to see Axel and Demyx. The red head stood in front with his arms crossed over his chest a thin eyebrow cocked. At the sound of Axel's voice though Hayner for the first time ever just shoved past Seifer and walked off. He never missed the chance to pick a fight with Seifer yet he'd just gone…all because of Axel arriving.
Hayner must have hated him a lot.
There was a snort from Seifer,
"Look at that chicken wuss; you're boyfriend just left you at my mercy." Roxas turned back to glare at him and was about to go up to Seifer and beat the shit out of him when someone grabbed his shoulder.
"Didn't you hear me Seifer, I said leave Roxas the hell alone," Axel growled. The beanie wearing blond smirked,
"I see why Hayner left you know Roxas, you've been cheating on him with this fag," he jeered. A beast like growl escaped Roxas' throat but Axel didn't loosen his grip on the small blond's shoulder until he shoved him towards Demyx who gently grabbed his arm.
"Leave this to Axel, it's for the best Rox," the dirty blond whispered as his sea green eyes looked down into Roxas' azure ones. Roxas sighed and nodded, he was in no way pleased about this though. He could fight his own battles for fuck sake!
"If I were you Seifer I'd shut the hell up already," Axel growled to the bully. Seifer smirked and walked up until he was right in Axel's face,
"And what if I don't want too," he hissed. Axel growled again and shoved Seifer,
"You wanna go?" The taller male shoved again and again and again until Seifer was slammed into a wall.
"I don't wanna see you near Roxas again and if I hear one more word about him coming from your slimy mouth you won't even get a chance to say goodbye…got it memorized." he hissed as he grabbed onto Seifer's shirt and slammed him into the wall several times. The blond was dropped to the ground before Axel turned around and stalked back over to Roxas and Demyx before he grabbed the petite blond's wrist and began to storm off. Rai and Fuu who had only just joined them rushed over to Seifer.
--
"Axel, let go of me," Roxas snapped as he tried to free his wrist from Axel's tight grip but it seemed impossible. The redhead was mad and he just had to get away from Seifer before he killed the puny bastard.
"Axel, let him go man," Demyx tried with a worried look in Axel's direction. It had been a while since the dirty blond had seen him in such a temper.
He'd gotten that angry over protecting Roxas.
In some ways Roxas was kind of flattered about that but now Axel was acting like a complete idiot. All Roxas wanted to do now was to buy some sea salt ice cream and play video games with Sora-he was still planning the brunet's death-he didn't want to be dragged around town. The blond was dragged a little further before Axel finally let him go and ran a hand through his crimson spikes.
"God I need a smoke," he grumbled as he started to feel around his pockets but he didn't have his cigarettes on him.
"Fuck." There was a sigh from Roxas,
"Smoking's bad for you anyway Axel," he replied with a shake of his head. Axel scowled slightly.
"You can leave now if you want Rox," Demyx said gently with a frown in Axel's direction but the blond shook his head.
"Nah, I think I'll hang out with you guys if you don't mind," he replied. Axel suddenly brightened up,
"Alright!"
--
The boys just walked around town until Demyx had to leave them for a 'study session' with Zexion. That left the boys at a loss of what to do…well for Roxas at least.
Axel looked thoughtful and for some reason that worried Roxas.
"Let's go to the mall! Maybe I could help you find a new outfit or something," he suggested. Roxas had to stop himself from sighing in relief,
"Sure," he agreed. Little did he know but the red head was imagining him in fishnet and leather.
So the two boys headed towards the Twilight Town mall and they spent most of the afternoon hanging out in the mall until Axel spotted a shop he liked. It was a gothic clothes shop called 'The World That Never Was'. It looked like your typical clothes shop, rail upon rail of clothes and Roxas was forced into the changing room before clothes were thrown over the top of the curtain.
The blond boy picked them up off the stool they'd landed on and stared. There was a short black skirt with red netting trimming and a simple grey vest with a red broken heart on.
"What the fuck?! These are girls clothes Axel," he exclaimed angrily. There was a chuckle from the other side of the curtain,
"I know, just try them on." Roxas stared at the clothes before he looked up and glared at the curtain.
"Fuck no."
"Do it and I'll buy you an ice cream," Axel suggested. Roxas thought for a moment before he heaved a sigh and began to undress and change into the clothes.
Once he was done he stepped out of the changing room. Axel grinned and looked Roxas up and down before he wolf whistled.
"Looking good Roxas…or should I call you Roxy," he teased. Roxas scowled and he stepped forward before he punched Axel in the arm.
"You're a jerk," he snapped. Axel chuckled,
"I'm totally buying you that." Roxas scowled before he returned to the changing rooms to get back into his own clothes.
"What's your shoe size?" Axel called out as Roxas struggled out of the clothes,
"Six, Why?"
"No reason," Axel called back as he pointed at a pair of black heels with a chain across them to the shop assistant. The man had black hair which was greying in a ponytail and a black eye patch over his left eye. The man winked with a smirk and held a thumb up at the shoes and the pair of black thigh high socks with a red and grey stripe at the top. Axel hid them behind his back as Roxas came out and took the clothes off him. He then dropped the clothes on the counter over the shoes and socks before he pulled the cash out. He easily had enough money on him.
Roxas stared,
"Are you rich or something?" he asked. Axel just shrugged, back still turned on Roxas,
"Yeah, not a problem is it?" Roxas shrugged though Axel couldn't see him,
"Why would it? You're obnoxious either way," he retorted. Axel couldn't help but grin before he handed Roxas the carrier bag.
"Time to get some ice cream I suppose," he commented.
Roxas scowled once again,
"You didn't seriously buy me that did you?" The red head grinned,
"I most certainly did!" The blond growled slightly but he followed Axel anyway, taking the bag from him as they went to get ice cream.
--
Two pairs of feet quietly slapped against the pavement as the two boys silently walked back to the smaller blond's house,
"Well…today's been alright," Roxas muttered as they reached the small house. Axel shrugged but a large grin made its way up on Axel's lips once again.
"Yeah, we should definitely hang out again." Roxas rolled his eyes,
"Sure, just remind me to not let you take me clothes shopping again," the blond replied dryly. He peeked down at the carrier bag in his hand before his grip on it tightened. He just hoped Sora wouldn't find the damn outfit.
Axel pouted,
"C'mon Rox, that outfit looks totally hot on you," the red head whined. He then slung his over the blond's shoulder's at which he scowled.
They stopped in front of Roxas' house and Axel leaned in close where he purred in Roxas' ear,
"Will you at least wear it for me…you wouldn't even be in it long." The blond's face flushed a deep red colour before he shoved Axel away from him.
"Get away from me you friggin' pervert," he hissed. Axel cackled a little before he pecked Roxas on the cheek and ran off.
"See ya later Rox," he called. Roxas stared at him as he ran off; his cheeks still a deep red.
--
"Was that Axel I heard out there? What did you two do? Did you have fun?" Sora asked as he bounced over to his blond twin as he entered the house.
"Yes, we went to the mall and it was an alright day," Roxas answered before he headed straight upstairs. The brunet pouted but he returned to the living room where he was playing video games.
--
Roxas flopped down onto his computer seat as he switched on his computer. The plastic bag had been dropped on his bed and as his computer started up he tipped the stuff out and groaned at the sight. The new socks and shoes didn't help it either. How the hell was he supposed to walk in heels?
…Not that he was planning on wearing them…
Looks what Axel's doing to you now, making you consider cross dressing...listen Roxas as your mind I can honestly tell you that you're about as straight as a roundabout.
Roxas scowled at clothes. He hated his mind and he hated Sora. He needed to talk to someone sensible about this. He turned back to his computer with a sigh, hoping that Namine was on IM.
On Thursday they'd had art again and they'd traded screen names. Luckily Axel had been sent out of the class at that time.
Once the computer had booted up Roxas opened up his IM and checked his buddy list. Namine was online.
OblivionKeeper: Hi Nami.
ArtsyChick: Hello Roxas.
OblivionKeeper: Can I ask you something private?
ArtsyChick: Sure
OblivionKeeper: I think I might like Axel
Roxas stared at the computer screen as he waited for the reply. She seemed to be taking her time. He tugged at his blond spikes restlessly.
ArtsyChick: If you're worried he might not like you back you don't have to worry.
OblivionKeeper: It's not that.
OblivionKeeper: It's just I'm not sure that I'm gay or anything, I still think girls are cute as well.
ArtsyChick: Well you could be bi or it could just be a faze you're going through…most people our age experiment so you might get over it soon.
OblivionKeeper: Hmmm ok…Nami do you think we could go out on a date tomorrow afternoon?
OblivionKeeper: It could just be a test but you're really nice and you're pretty so…
ArtsyChick: That sounds fine; meet me in the park by the swings at one tomorrow ok?
OblivionKeeper: Sweet! See you tomorrow!
OblivionKeeper signs out.
Roxas grinned a little; the date could do him good. Namine was a pretty awesome girl and maybe they could start going out. That would surely get Axel off him mind.
--
Namine was secretly pleased, since she'd met Roxas she'd had a little crush on him. She couldn't turn down a date with him even if it was only a test.
Anyway even if Roxas did really like Axel she wouldn't mind. Well she would, she just wouldn't do anything about it. If Roxas would be happy with Axel then she'd move on and find someone else. That's just how teenage life goes.
--
It was late evening when Axel finally returned home, he'd went and hung out with Demyx and Zexion for a bit and he was on a definite high.
He'd gotten to be with Roxas for practically the whole day and he'd seen him in a short skirt. This made the red head giggle like a girl as he headed up the stairs.
"What are you so happy about?" an amused voice asked from behind. Axel whipped around to see his elder brother standing there.
"Reno! What are you doing here?" he demanded with an even larger grin. Reno just smirked a little as he adjusted his goggles,
"The folks have gone away on a business trip for a month or two and they asked me to come look after you, how could I say no," he explained. Axel chuckled as he headed back down the stairs.
"Now are you gonna tell me about what you were giggling about or not?" Axel chuckled once again as he entered the living room.
"I met a boy, his name is Roxas and I got to see him in a skirt today."
--
Few I finally finished this chapter. I hope it isn't too bad.
Next chappie will have Roxas and Namine's date, plenty more Reno and errr whatever else I think of XP.
I'm sorry once again for any OOCness.
Please review.
