Chapter 2: Can I Start Over?
The mysterious blonde stared up at the other, slightly shocked. The redhead was pretty good-looking. Ehhhh! What was he thinking! He has a girlfriend, Naminé. Besides, this. . this hunky piece of man was probably taken. And straight. Taken AND straight.
It took Roxas a moment to process what the taller said. His shocked expression turned dark. He hated being mistaken for. . . him. " It's Roxas. Not," He made a face, " Ven."
Oh, clearly Axel had said something wrong and it offended the blonde. He didn't mean to call the kid by the wrong name. It's just, he really does look a lot like Ventus. " Er- yeah. Sorry that slipped out. . ."
Roxas got up, brushing himself off and grabbed his book. " It's fine. Just don't do it again." He paused, " What is your name? "
The redhead grinned like the cheshire cat. Time for what he's known for; his signature catchphrase. " The name's A-X-E-L. Got it memorized? " He questioned, motioning to his head.
" Hm. . . I'll try to remember it. I make no promises." The shorter just shrugged it off. " Nice meeting you though." With that, he headed up the stairs, vanishing from the others sight.
He couldn't help but chuckle. For a kid who wasn't Ven, he sure was a lot like him. He even said the same exact thing the other blonde had said when they met. It made the redhead wonder. But no, it couldn't be him. The last time he checked, Ven was still in hospitalization. That and the doctors doubted the unconscious blonde would wake up anytime soon. But his mother would not give up. She was dead set on not letting him go, in hopes that one day, he really would wake up. Well, some people do say there is someone out there who looks exactly like you. Only, this kid looks scarily a LOT like him. It was possible. ' Does that mean there's another sexy ginger like me? ' Axel conceitedly thought as he finally brought out the t.v.
" Took you long enough." The older brunette pointed out.
" Sorry 'bout that. I had a bit of a run-in with a cute blondie." Axel said all nonchalant about the world when he knows he is saying such a statement to said blonde's uncle.
Squall knew the redhead just wanted to get a reaction out of him. Instead of satisfying the little dweeb, he just took the t.v. from the teen's hands and set it in a perfect spot, nicely in the truck. " Riku. " The quiet one's attention went from the ground below, to the larger male who called him. " Go with Mr. Hormonal here and bring out the couch. Load it in the truck while you're at it. I'm going to check on the other three, who are no doubt slacking. " He ordered. What Mr. Leonhart says goes, no questions asked.
Riku lead the way back inside, the redhead returning to the living room. Although, this time it was different. No, not because his silver-haired friend was around or because there was now no tv, but because of Ven's look-a-like was sitting on their target object. ' Are you kidding me? '
The blonde glanced up at them for a quick second before reverting his gaze back to the book in hand. ' Fang' was the title. He flipped the page, not moving an inch, knowing full well what the two were doing here. He was not going to get off either, mostly out of laziness. The rest? Just because he was bored and wanted to get on the two elder boys nerves.
Axel was not about to play this game. He had a job to do, money to get, things to spend it on. This kid was going down. Well, more like up. He looked over to his trusty companion and the two seem to give simultaneous understanding nods. Each taking their position at either end of the couch, waiting to elevate the heavy piece of furniture up at signal. " You have 'til 3 to get off nicely."
Silence.
" 1. . ." He begun to count.
Roxas rolled his eyes. Please, what was he two? Counting is sooo scary. Right and he was America's next top model. Screw that. They're going to have to try a little harder.
" 2. ."
Still no movement from the blonde.
" 3. Alright, you asked for it." Axel shrugged. Both he and Riku hoisted the cushioned seat into the air with ease. ' The kid's pretty light. '
They both tilted it, catching the boy off guard and he fell right onto his face.
The two friends laughed at the other's misfortune. They did warn him. It's the blonde's fault for being stubborn. " Hope you had a nice fall, kid. See ya next painful season. " He chuckled out at the other as he and the silverette began to maneuver the couch out, his back to Roxas.
WHACK!
" Ah, fuck!" The redhead cursed out in pain as he set the seating furniture down, rubbing the back of his abused head.
Riku tried not to laugh. Key word, tried. He was not successful in doing so and green eyes shot daggers at his laughing friend." Deckare. . ." Riku just shrugged, a knowing smirk upon his face.
The taller's pissed off expression didn't last long though. The laughing teen, who was the cause of his assault and pain, made him have a change of heart. He turned towards Roxas and observed the other. He really did look a lot like Ventus. They even had the same obnoxiously cute laugh. It wasn't fair.
The redhead teen suddenly felt a pang of sadness and guilt wash over him. It really wasn't fair. He tried hard to forget about what he had lost and move on, yet the blonde on the floor laughing, was a big reminder of what a punk he was.
The laughing soon stopped. The other's drastic change of emotions worried Roxas. He didn't hurt him too badly, did he? What brought on the super gorgeous guy's sadness? Surely not him right? " Are. . .Are you okay? " He asked concerned.
Riku shared the same concerned look. It was odd. Axel almost never shown such a negative emotion before, or any emotion that wasn't faked through for that matter.
The redhead soon returned to his sense and any sign of it had dispersed from his features. " Yeah, it's all good. " He answered. " Come on, let's get this thing outta here already."
The two older teens exited the household with the couch, leaving a confused blonde behind, still on the floor.
Everything was tucked into the giant moving vehicle beautifully. They were finally done with the job. As promised, the two teens were given 50 munny each, and if they decided to waste their Saturday away helping them unload it all, more money would be guaranteed. It was obvious they took the offer.
The only thing in the now empty house was two large futons and blankets for the moving family to sleep on for the night before finally leaving the old house for the next.
" Thank you, boys. Thanks to all of you. You all did wonderful today." Rinoa said.
" That was a lot of work," Sora complained, " My body hurts! "
Axel would say something, as much as he really deserves to be made fun of for such a statement, but he wanted to keep a good impression on the kind lady. Believe him, there was a LOT a person could say about that.
" Ugh, I know. It was sooooo hard! " Roxas said sarcastically as he appeared by his cousin's side. Knowing full well how suggestive what he said sounded. No one but Axel noticed it though.
" Oh please." Denzel rolled his eyes with a playful smile.
" Coming from the one who did nothing but read! Lazy bum." Marlene giggled.
The blonde pretended to be hurt by his sibling's accusation, putting a hand to his chest and letting out a gasp. " I did not! I helped too! "
" Oh yeah? With what?" His aunt questioned, quirking a curious brow.
" Helped give Axel internal bleeding." Riku chuckled out.
"Hey, it wasn't even that hard!" The readhead defended, immediately regretting his choice of words.
The blonde laughed. " That's what she said."
Now Roxas and Riku weren't the only ones laughing. Even the brunette woman was taking part on the laughter. 'Damn it all.' The teen thought as he too, joined.
Axel laid in his bed with today's events unravelling through his mind. Of all that happened today, he couldn't help but think back to a certain blonde. He was deep in thought. Roxas and Ven. Was there any connection between the two? Or was it really just completely coincidental? They were too much alike, as far as what the redhead had seen. Appearance being the most obvious. So far personality wise, they were both stubborn, as shown when the smaller teen refused to move, they liked to read, and were pretty good at retaliating the older teen. He sported a bump on his head and short-lived loss of pride as well as embarrassment to prove it. ' Even their laugh and smile were similar.'
The only difference? Most likely age. Roxy, as Sora liked to call him, did not look like he was a senior like the other blonde would've been if he was not in his coma. Hell, he'd be surprised if the kid was even a junior! All the elder knew was he definitely attended high-school, and now, his school.
Maybe he should look at this in a better light. Maybe he wasn't sent to torture and remind him of what he had lost, but to be his new start, a second chance. Just what Axel needed. HE was taking this chance. Might as well start off by befriending the cutie and progress from there. Yes, things were going to turn out better from now on. He won't make the same mistake.
