Fatefully yours

Chapter 2

Encounter part 2

Axel looked up at the ceiling of his studio apartment. The whiteness of it stood out greatly against the darkness of the room. He would have turned on the small lamp, that sat on his nightstand inches away, but the light snores and grunts of his roommate made his restless hand stop. Letting the limb fall limp, his long pale fingers gripped his new black lighter. But even the small glow of flame might have awoken his friend.

Luxord, Axel's gambling-addicted, fun loving blonde Brit of a roommate had allowed him to stay in the one room home. Although, it was much better than Axel staying with his brother Rino and Rude, Rino's boyfriend. No matter what they did, he always had that third wheel feeling. But other than the fact that the only thing separating him and the sleeping blonde was a black screen Axel had bought, he did like it much more that his brother's place. But in all truth, as much as he loved and appreciated the Brit, he hated the absolute no privacy.

Finally after two months of talking and convincing Luxord, reluctantly, agreed that they should start looking for a two bedroom apartment. Although the blonde had lived in the flat studio for three years and was finally ready to call it home, he, also, had privacy issues. Even if he had someone to bring home, with he didn't, he would have to dance around Axel to do it. The last thing Luxord wanted was to make his friend uncomfortable.

So as punishment for having to get a new place, Axel would have to help pick it out. That would ave worked great except the two never had enough time where one wasn't about to fall asleep or leave. Their work schedules conflicted as much as their classes did. Neither of them had the time to talk about a new place never mind look for one that would meet both of their needs.

Axel pushed himself up from his bed, grabbing his phone, to look out the window at the barely visible stars. It was raining again. He leaned heavily against the wooden frame. 'What a boring night. The only time we're home together, and he's asleep. I kinda wish I had work or something to do.' He thought pulling his fiery red hair into a loose, sloppy ponytail.

Glimpsing behind him, at the small digital alarm clock on his nightstand, he noticed it was about 2:30 A.M. He could go to that new night club that opened up in town, but he lived more on the outskirts and it would take forever to get there. He didn't want to borrow the sleeping blonde's car without him knowing. Besides going to a nightclub alone was boring.

With a sigh, Axel turned his attention back to the window. He thought of all the friends he knew. Then he narrowed the list down to the ones he knew would still be awake. Unfortunately his list only held one person, and his number was written somewhere in Axel's school planner. Vaguely he tried his best to remember it so he wouldn't make to much noise searching.

To the beat of his abilities he recited the number texting a short six word message. 'Hey man, you wanna hang out?'

His hand vibrated with in seconds. 'Sorry, who is this?'

Axel frowned. 'Isn't this Demyx?'

'No this is Roxas.'

'Oh man, I must have mixed up the number' Axel's brow furrowed. Maybe he should have looked for Demyx's number. 'I'm Axel, nice to meet you.'

'Nah, man that's fine. Text me and let me know if you find your friend.'

'Sure thing.' Axel texted him back, not at all meaning to ever contact him again. Or at least he assumed it was a boy. But this person was nice enough to care if Axel got a hold of his friend so he couldn't be a bad person.

Axel chucked a little. "Maybe I'll go look for Dem's number."

Axel finally found Demyx's number on Luxord's dining table. With in only moments Dem was waiting outside in his sky blue car.

"What's wrong, Ax, no motorcycle tonight?" He sandy blonde laughed as the younger of the two got in the car shaking off the rain water.

"Too wet. Besides where would you be if you didn't have me to brighten your night? I'm so bright I can out shine the sun." Axel laughed arrogently. He was always happy-go-lucky around his friends. It was more of a shell he hided behind.

"So what made you want to go clubbing again? It's been a few months now. The great of the gang thought you were getting serious about school. But that's so not like you."

The red heads smile tightened. He hadn't even told his friends that he got into college. "How did you guys find out I went back to school?"

"Zexy told me at one of Marly's parties that you missed." Demyx looked back as he pulled out of the driveway. "Said he saw you in a chemistry class."

"Zexy?" Axel tapped his chin. "That little emo you've been dating for the last month?"

"Two months." Demyx corrected.

"Whatever."

" So Ax," Dem nudged him in the arm. "Have you met someone yet?"

"Would I be out with you right now if I had?" He shot back.

"I guess not." The blonde squinted at the road before changing the topic. "Man I hate living in England sometimes."

Axel's chapter was actually an after thought as I was writing the real, second, now third chapter. Every story has two sides. POV will be third person but the story will switch between their lives.
