Rabbits vs. Phoenix
Chapter four
Disclaimer: They sadly don't belong to me. I would change that if I could =)
Oh and yeah, I'm intentionally writing Sor instead of Sora sometimes, it's Roxas nickname for him.
And oh yeah, for those who didn't get it until now here is a little explanation:
Thoughts
"Talking"
When cursive shows up in talking, it's only thought, not said.
Hope you all get it^^
"Hey little one. What's up? Don't you get headaches from all that studying? Oh come on, talk to me. I feel like I'm talking to myself. Why don't we go somewhere today? It's a date! Pleaaaassseeee, won't you talk back? Hey little one…"
If he says little one again I'm so going to hit his teeth out. He really doesn't get it does he? It's already been three weeks since I'm here and besides the first day I haven't spoken a word to him. I hope the day is over soon. How dare he even mentions something like `going on a date´ with me! Oh yeah, after school Sora's coming over. Thank god he didn't change his view of me, he even helps me.
"Liiiittttttllleee oooooooneeeeeee. Somebody home?"
Fuck that asshole.
Now the redhead was standing in front of him waving a hand in front of his eyes.
Why, oh why couldn't he just punch him… I sooo wanna punch him.
But he couldn't. Especially not someone like Axel. He and his whole gang would be after him. And no one should know he could fight. So he had no choice but to endure the talking from the man in front of him.
"AXEL!"
Everyone's head shot up. Riku came running in, panting
"Have you heard from Xaldin? Demyx says that some people are spreading rumors, that he was beaten in one hit, from a 1,60 meter guy. In one hit!"
Roxas hastily dropped his head and avoided looking at the two.
"They even are showing around some pictures, but I haven't seen one yet. It seems like it's some sort of challenge to us. Maybe that's why Xaldin didn't show up on Saturday."
"Get me one of those pictures. And find out who the culprit was. How dare they challenge us! Damn that Xaldin, going down! I bet he was drunk and ruining our reputation even more."
"Uhm.." a small voice interrupted the two
"I may be able to help you…"
"Who the fuck are you?"
"Well, I'm Xion, from your class. I was there that evening and someone sent me the photo recently. Here."
Roxas looked at her unbelievingly. He didn't expect someone from his class to be in clubs like that. Damn. He had to be more careful. His thoughts were interrupted by an angry shout.
"How dare they! To challenge us like this!"
Riku was really angry.
"Axel, how can you be this calm? It's your group you know!"
"Riku, do you really think I'm calm? You should know me better by now. Sorry little one. I guess our date has to wait a while. Tell the teacher I had a stomach ache and went home or something like that."
With that he grabbed his things and went out with Riku.
Phew, thank god he's gone. But now they definitely are after Black Phoenix. That's going to be fun. Heh.
His mood had abruptly gotten better now that Axel was gone and his group was gaining fame. Just then his teacher came and the lesson began.
"Roxas, can you tell me where Axel is?"
His teacher asked suddenly.
Still a bit pissed of a his front man he answered
"He's playing hooky I believe."
He grinned smugly to himself while his classmates stared at him, horrified. That new kid really didn't know how scary Axe could be. Even the teacher looked at him mystiefied.
"You sure you want to tell me that?"
"Sure." With that he began looking out of the window and started daydreaming. When his last class was over, he hurriedly headed for the gates. Normally he was always the last one to leave the classroom so everyone was a bit taken aback by his changed behavior. One girl tried talking to him again.
"Are you alright Roxas? Be careful, Axel isn't always nice. If he gets to know what you told the teacher… Anyways, you wanna go to karaoke with us?" she asked politely.
"I'm fine and no thank you. I'm meeting a friend already. Bye."
With that he was gone and left behind a slightly hurt looking girl.
"Hey Sor"
"Roooooxxxyyyyy! Oh wooooow, you're looking really funny. What's up with these glasses? Oh yeah, hiding youself and that stuff. But man, I almost didn't recognize you and thought you had forgotten about our meeting."
Sora squealed
"You really have school for a long time. I'm dying of hunger. Let's go eat something and you can tell me about your day and Axel. Then I'm dying to meet your uncle. Let's go, to the next Burger joint."
And there they went.
On the way Roxas told Sora about the episode with Axel and Sora was laughing so hard, he almost fell backwards.
I the burgerjoint, Sora `volunteered´ to reserve the seeds, so Roxas went and got their burgers. When he was looking around for their seats he saw a flash of red, when a loud
"Roooooxxxxyyyyy, I'm here!"
diverted his attention to the brunette, sitting at the back in a four person niche.
He wormed his way through and set his tray with the burgers in front of his companion.
"Really now, why do you have to eat this much? It's almost as if you have a bottomless stomach."
"Buuuut, I really love these Burgers and I can maybe, eventually, if some are left over, give them to you…"
Sora said, looking dejectedly cute.
"Ooooh, to hear that from you is really shocking! Sora giving food to other people. I think I'm seeing a pink invisible pig flying around you."
Sora looked at Roxas confused.
"Did you just make fun of me? You have made a joke? Who are you? You can't be Roxas!
They looked at each other and began giggling like high-school girls and after a few seconds they were laughing and trying hard not to fall out of their seats.
Suddenly a voice came from the side
"Oh our little Roxy can laught too. You should do that more often."
Roxas turned around and scowled
"Axel. Don't call me Roxy. And why should I laught more often? It's got nothing to do with you. Leave me alone, I'm trying to have fun here."
Sora looked at him wide eyed.
"Oh, so little Roxy isn't as quiet as in school anymore. Come on, I'll buy you a drink. My friend and I are sitting over there. Why don't the two of you come over?"
"No –"
"No way!"
Roxas looked at Sora surprised. He hadn't thought that his best friend would help him with that. He looked at him gratefully.
"Roxas we're going. You wanted to show your room to me, remember. And you, redhead, lay your hands on him and your dead."
He sounds like a overprotective boyfriend.
Roxas mused and went with Sora when he grabbed him and began walking to the exit.
"Thanks man. But did you really have to say something like that? Who knows what he's going to say at school next time."
"Well yeah, but you needed an excuse, why you're different when you're with me than in school, right. And now you have the perfect excuse. Besides, no one is going to actually believe him in school."
"Yeah, you're probably right. Now, let's go home. I bet my uncle is waiting for us to come back. He really wants to meet you, 'cause you're the first friend I'm bringing home."
He grinned a bit shy at Sora who in return beamed at him.
They didn't notice the two figures glaring at them from inside the burger joint.
What the fuck was that just now? His little one was openly laughing with another boy who practically declared that he was his little ones boyfriend.
And why the hell was he so annoyed about that? He just found it interesting to try and get little Roxas to talk, or better, little Roxy. He really liked the sound of that. Roxy.
And now his Roxy was smiling at that other midget again. Damn. He had never even spared him a grin before, or better, he hadn't even shown him any feelings except today.
He glanced at his friends and saw Riku glaring at the couple as well. What the hell?
He went back to his table only to be greeted by Larxene
"Oh, got rejected by that nerdy kid? Chuckel. There is someone who can withstand your oh so sexy body and irresistible charms?"
By now his other friends, except Riku were laughing and grinning at him.
"Oh Larx, shut up. I'm not in the mood for jokes. Let's forget about then now. I really need to concentrate on other things right now. Now to our problem at hand. Was anyone able to get a hold of Xaldin?..."
Whew, that concludes another chapter in one day. I've written three chapters in one day and I'm damn proud of myself, cause I've never written so much in one go before, not even for school.
The next chapter may need some time, because I have an exam next week and a paper to finish till next week and I still have to write about ten pages for that.
Till next time
Love, Ghazalia
