Chapter two! Features almost-death, but is mainly filler other wise. The next chapters will be much better! Now for the teaser thingy:
I was so close to stopping and ridding myself of the pain, but then He came… Axel was the catalyst, the undoing of all my work. I can't let this happen… but maybe I do need help…
Warnings: A lot of swearing, some incest, suicialness, possibly rape, horrible poetry, Yaoi/Yuri, could go anywhere. Smut type scene(s) VERY far in the future, because Roxas needs to turn less emo and get over the past before he'll let Axel fuck him. XD
*~*U*~*U*~*
Algebra class is pure and utter torture. Leon, Sora, and a girl named Kairi sit in the back, leaving me under the one-eyed stare of Mr. Xigbar. The bastard handed out a worksheet with more individual letters than words and numbers on it and expects in to be done at the end of the class. Hell if we have no clue how to do it. Apparently he doesn't care about the football players behind me planning to group rape a blonde girl a couple of rows over, or that the nerd herd's prodigies have their laptops out and are probably watching porn, no, it doesn't matter. The only things that matter are me, and a Jamaican guy with dreads next to me that Xiggy's making google eyes at. Disgusting
Exactly an hour later, Xiggy comes around to pick up papers. I cross my arms over my chest and look down. Let the bastard throw me in detention. Reno won't care.
"You boy!" he yells, snatching up my paper and waving it over my desk. "Why is your paper blank?"
He waves the paper around even more. I don't move. Xiggy sighs loudly and crumples the paper.
"Looks like I get another basket case. Don't bother coming back to my class, even though the other one does." I look up out of the corner of my eye just in time to see him motion to the blonde boy. I must find out about him, this curiosity is killing me!
The bell cries out shrilly and everyone gets up to leave. I get half way to a bathroom when I hear yelling behind me.
"Hey Axel!" Sora speeds over and links arms with me, walking normal speed.
"Do you wanna come to our little hang out 3rd period?" they have a hang out? Awesome!
"Sure, I'll come, where is-"
Leon and Kairi, whose hair is the color of red wine, run over, cutting me off.
"Sora, what the fuck?
"No kidding, why does he get all the energy?" Leon mumbles, huffing loudly.
"I sorry Squally!" The hyper brunette pushes away from me and launches himself at Leon, throwing his arms around his neck and kissing him. With tongue, from the looks of it. Kairi and I look away, our faces matching our hair.
Sora disconnects from a shocked looking Leon long enough to throw a paper ball at me, take a breath, push Leon into the bathroom, and fly after him. I pocket the paper ball. I'll read it later.
Kairi shakes her head and sighs loudly. "Those two can't stay off each other for two seconds out side of class." I roll my eyes. Obviously.
"So Axel, who do you have next?" I consult the magical schedule and it says I have someone named Shields. I tell Kairi and she makes a face.
"Vexen Shields is the worst, most perverted Bio teacher I have ever had. I'd suggest cutting that class. Gotta go."
She turns around, almost running away. The hallway is deserted now, except for sounds coming from the restroom. Deja vu...
Suddenly Leon comes running out of the bathroom, carrying Sora bridal style. And both of them are wearing nothing but their boxers.
"Hey Axel! You wouldn't believe the deal I made Leon to let him be on top!" I groan and Sora giggles hysterically while Leon just looks uncomfortable.
I shake my head sadly. I'm actually jealous of them. Not quite jealous enough to fuck Reno though, incest is not my style. I accept it, but that's it.
Now, where is the best place I can go to be alone… the roof top. I pull out the Magical Schedule and flip it over to the layout of the school. It only takes a few seconds to find the tiny picture of the stairs that lead to the roof. Right at the end of the hall even.
I check to see if the coast is clear before slipping through the door to the stairs. It's a long trek up, but I finally get to the top and open the door. I'm hit with a gust of fresh air. I didn't realize how stale the air inside is.
I walk out a ways, looking for a way to get to the higher level. Ah ha! There's a ladder right over there. I climb up, now on the top level and stretch my arms out. Wow, do I feel like a bird up here…
I walk out to the edge of the building and sit on the ledge. There's something so familiar about this place that just makes me sigh in relief and feel peaceful.
The sound of the door opening startles me and I scramble for cover behind a vent. My heart is pounding in my chest 100 miles per hour. Who the hell is it? If it's a teacher, I'm dead. Wait, why would I care if some fucking teacher catches me?
A figure in a huge black sweater, hood up, appears over the edge of the roof. They look one direction, then to the other before reaching up to pull their hood down. I'm barely able to suppress a gasp. I do not believe it! It's the blonde boy from before.
I duck behind the vent again, foot steps starting again. My heart pounds so loudly that I'm sure he can hear it and he'll find me. I really hope not. I want to find out what he's doing first…
There's some shuffling and a heavy sigh. I dare a peek around the corner and the blonde is sitting on the ledge, exactly to the right of where I was. He pulls a notebook and a pencil out. Oh gods please don't be a fanboy… he opens in up to the first page and starts writing. Good, he's not the male version of Naminé.
I duck back behind the vent when the boy looks around. There's the sound of him taking a deep breath before a beautiful, slightly raspy tenor voice starts speaking.
"Nobody knows
Nobody cares
I don't give a shit if you order me around
I won't cry for you even if you stomp me down
Because it wouldn't be the first time
And probably not the last
A few more scars won't change a thing
Except for how soon I ask the Reaper to cut my string."
I shuffle almost silently out of my hiding place, which is saying something when you're wearing combat boots. "Kid, that was beautiful."
He gasps and whips his head around. "Wh-wh…"
That's when he slips. It all happens so fast, I lunge and grab him by his sweater, then his hand, pulling him back up onto the roof. He stands up and looks into my eyes. His eyes are so much like Sora's, except… they look so full of pain and half-dead.
Then just like that, he starts sobbing and buries his face in my chest. Jesus Christ, I don't even know his name… but I feel like this has happened before… somehow…
I pull him into a tight, comforting hug and he sobs louder, his tears staining my shirt.
"Hey, its okay, I didn't mean to scare you, uh…"
He pulls away, tears staining his face. "Muh-my name's Rox-Roxas." He sniffles, wiping his eyes on one sleeve and his nose on the other.
"Nice to meet you Roxas, I'm Axel." I hold out my hand and he shakes it hesitantly. When out fingers lightly brush through his fingerless gloves, theses little tingles start. Now that's weird.
We stand awkwardly for a few minutes before I get the idea. It would give me a chance to learn more about Roxas. Though I feel like I know him already…
"Hey Roxas, do you want to come to the hangout whatever Sora mention?"
He opens his mouth to speak, but nothing comes out but a choked sob and he slams his jaw shut. This kid is more mess up than I though...
"Okay, I get it. This is why Xiggy called you a basket case in math. You never talk because you might cry or something, so everyone thinks you're mute, right?"
Roxas shrugs and I grin. I'll take that as a yes. "That's okay with me, I'll just ask yes or no questions."
He nods, his face betraying no emotions. Seriously… you look so beautiful when you smile. Wait, look as in I know? I'm pretty sure I haven't seen Roxas smile before.
"Now, you going to lead me there?" he nods and heads to the ladder. When I get to the bottom, he's actually there still; I'm surprised he didn't just leave without me. Weird how the most decent blonde being I've found in years is a zombie.
I un-crumple and flatten out the paper ball Sora threw at me and Roxas gives me what I'm sure is about as close to a curious look as he can manage. Then I begin to read it aloud.
"Room 813, top floor, -Xi. Xi is short for Xion, right?" A pained look flashes on the blondes face, only there for a second before he nods.
"Okay, then, room 813 then. That's actually the exact moment I saw you the first time…"
He turns around and looks truly surprised. I said that out loud? I run a hand sheepishly though way hair. Way to be a creeper Axel…
"I looked at the clock right before I saw you this morning and the number just stuck." He nods again. I sigh. I really need to ask him some 'no' questions before I turn him into a bobble head.
"Okay, can we go now?" he nods silently. Damn it, I am about to ask him if he's a hermaphrodite just to get a different answer. I follow silently behind him, hoping that last question isn't a yes one too.
*~*U*~*U*~*
I sorry for the crappy ending! I modified it, cut a little, out, and made it shorter so it was hard… but next chapter we get to find out a bit more. Aren't we excited? R&R!
