Now on to the story~
Chapter 1: Who's that blonde? It's. . .
Senior year. Some say it's the best year of their lives. To Axel, it was just another month's worth of school and preparation for the future. He never cared much for school. He just knew he needed it to get a decent job out there. In a small town, there's not much offered. All the real excitement were on Destiny Islands, Hollow Bastion and whatnot. The redhead didn't even know what he wanted to do with his life. It just became so. . .scripted. School, work, chill with Riku, party, get all types of drunk and high, sleep and then do it all over again. Not all exciting, huh?
Axel sat boredly in homeroom, waiting for his pal Riku. Ever since the lanky teen moved to Twilight Town, they became instant friends. Mostly because they had a lot in common; they were both loners who could care less about the world. Besides, Riku was pretty cool. Although, it was creepy how big of a crush his sister developed on the guy. If she only knew he was flamming just as much as him. The silverette had it in for a bubbly brunette, who was always so unnaturally happy it scared him. So, Axel loved picking on the kid. It became his favorite pass time.
'Well think of the devils and they arrive .' He thought as green eyes set their sights on the pair that entered the room. Figures Riku would be with the cheery underclassmen. It was sickening how close those two were. How the younger never caught on to the silverette's feelings was a mystery to him. Then again, that kid was the most naive, oblivious idiot ever. Why was he even here? The brunette's homeroom was on the other side of the building. 'Fucking stalker. '
"Yo, Ax." Riku greeted his partner in crime as they fist-bumped.
"'Sup bro. What's up with the tag-along. No offense kid." Axel said tiredly.
"Normally people say, ' no offense', it totally comes out offensive."The brunette said with a disapproving shake of his head. Sora never really liked Axel. He just dealt with him because of Riku. If it wasn't for the older teen, he wouldn't be anywhere near the fire-obsessed redhead.
"If that's how you want to interpret it, then fine. . . dåre . " He waved it off, not wanting to get into another pointless argument with the spiky-haired boy.
"Did you just insult me?"
Ignored. . . .
"Rikuuuuuuuuu!" Sora whined.
"He said, 'whatever'. You should probably go, the bell's about to ring." Riku lied, wanting to stop this before something stupid happens.
"Okay. . . I'll buy that for now. Bye Riku~!" He cooed out, giving his friend a big hug.
Axel could've swore he heard Seifer cough out 'fags', but wasn't quite sure. At least he wasn't the only one who noticed the closeness between the two. Even if it was Mr. Bully over there. 'I hate homophobes. . .'
Riku watched as the kid walked, more like skipped ( "Are you fucking kidding me? What is he 5?" ), out of the classroom. He then turned his attention back to his other buddy."You can at least try to be more considerate, y'know."
"It will toughen the kid up, builds character. Not everything is rainbows and sunshine, Ri." He said in his defense." Besides, what i said wasn't even offensive."
"Uh-huh, suuuure." And just liked that he dropped the conversation, only to start up anew. "Do you still need cash? "
The redhead raised a curious brow. What brought that up all of a sudden? "Uhhhh, maybe. Why? "
"Well because So-"
" Nevermind, I like being broke." Axel said, completely cutting off his white-haired companion.
Riku's eye twitched."May I conclude my speech before you answer?" He waited, when the other said nothing, he decided it was for him to continue."Sora's cousins are moving in with them and-"
"Wait, isn't Sora and his parents moving too?" The other spoke, clearly interrupting his friend again.
"Will you just shut up. "
"Sorry. . ."
Riku sighed."Yes they are. Which is why they need help with moving, their stuff and now his cousin's belongings. Mr. Leonhart wanted to know if you wanted to help. They would pay us." He finally finished.
The Swede pondered this for a moment. He could use the money. It's not like he had any plans either. Axel almost never made plans. He was more of the ' go with the flow' or ' spur of the moment' type of guy. Completely unpredictable."When?"
"After school."
"And you're asking me this now because?" He said, interrogating the other's motives.
"I knew if a questioned you about it earlier you'd either forget, or go make some other plans. I waited until the day came to impose this request upon you." The silverette explained with ease. He knew the other so well.
"Fair enough. It's a deal."
'Why the fuck did I agree again? Oh, yeah, money. Fuck life.' Axel complained in his mind. Next to him was the cause of his headaches. Yes ladies and gents; Sora Leonhart. 'Irritande lilla skit.'
"So then I was like, 'ohhhh, you didn't not just go there Kai', and-" He zoned out on the kid once again. "You know what I mean?"
"Will you shut up if I say yes? " He said irritably.
"So rude. . ."
"No, Rude is my uncle's fuck-buddy. I'm just an asshole." The redhead said with a smirk.
"Ewww. . . TMI!" The younger said with a face.
"At least he admitted he is one." Riku interjected.
Sora completely brushed it off."Weird family facts and asshole's aside, I can't wait for you two to meet my cousins~! They are like the cutest things ever! Especially Roxy." He exclaimed with a slight giggle.
"If they're anything like you, shoot me now."
"Fuck you."
" Pass. You probably have an STD or something. It's always the innocent ones that surprise ya."
" You really are an asshole." The brunette scowled at him. It's not very effective. ( WTF, when did this become pokemon?)
"Relax, the both of you. This better not be a constant occurrence between you two is it? If so, then I'M going to shoot myself," complained the so far quiet Riku. It really did annoy him to know end when his friends argued. Why couldn't they just get along? It'd make things so much easier for him.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say." Axel spoke out first.
"I'm sorry, Ku."
And so the journey to Sora's house ended up in silence as Axel watched the pair ahead of him walk close to one another, both occasionally taking short glances of the other. He sighed. If they didn't get together soon, he was going to step in. Axel was pretty sure they wouldn't like that.
Squall loaded the heavy box onto the moving truck, sighing deeply. 'I hate moving.' It's not like they were moving far. Just a few blocks away from their current abode and into the much bigger residence his wife always wanted.
Said mentioned wife came out and offered her husband a glass of water, as well as her working niece and nephews. The poor kids just arrived in Twilight Town late last night and didn't get much time to rest. The three were put to troublesome tasks already. She smiled softly towards them before catching the sights of her son in the distance, along with some helping hands. 'Good. We're going to need all the assistance we can get.'
"Mommy~!" Sora shouted, waving his hands around.
Rinoa returned the greeting with a sigh.'I swear, he still a little kid. . .' Somedays her son's childish antics made her worry. Well, ignorance is bliss right?
Once the traveling trio reached the home, Sora hugged his mom happily."I missed you~. Look, I brought friends to help!"
She laughed. "Yes I see them. Thank you so much Sora. Now why don't you go help Denzel and Marlene. They're over by the garage, attempting to reach the memory boxes and whatnot." The dark-haired woman offered.
"Okay! " With that, the hyperactive brunette was gone, off to help his cousin.
Axel just watched the scene in front of him.'What is wrong with him. . .' He would list all of them, but his thoughts were interrupted by the sweet woman in front of him.
"Riku, Axel, would you two help Squall load the truck? " She asked kindly.
"Of course Mrs. Leonhart." Riku answered.
She let out a slight laugh. "Please, call me Rinoa for once, Riku. 'Mrs. Leonhart' makes me feel so old." No matter how many times she asked the silverette, he constantly insisted on referring to her in such a formal fashion. Which was unneeded, since he has been such a good friend to her child for years. The boy was kind of like a second son to her.
Axel felt out of it. He was ever so rarely found at the brunette's house. So he just stayed quiet, not wanting to say anything stupid in front of Sora's mother. Eventually, after a few minutes wasted of the two bantering on of what Riku should be calling the woman, they finally came to a quick compromise and were on their way to stack boxes into the truck with the father of the small family.
"You, ginger, can you do me a favor and get the t.v in the living room." Squall asked, more like commanded, Axel.
The redhead was wary of the taller much scarier and well-built brunette and just gave a curt nod before heading off to do what was requested of him. Once t.v. was in hand, he carried the heavy electrical set out of the room. He couldn't tell where he was heading, he just hoped it was the right way.
BAM!
"Itaii. . . ." a voice said from below.
"Ah fuck, I'm sorry kid. I couldn't see whe-" He stopped mid-sentence. When he peaked around the black box, he saw a book on the floor with a blonde boy with strangely organized spikes, clutching his head.
The boy looked up at him with big cerulean blue eyes. Features that were so vaguely familiar. "V-ven. . .?"
