Chapter 11: Camp Kisaragi's Valentine
Part 2: Jealousy is ugly except when it's on you
Everyone reported to the main field there were at not too long ago as they were told. Roxas held hands with Namine which earned stares from the other students. They have yet to know who the blonde girl was so they were curious. Of course when a certain redhead and ravenette appeared, they weren't just staring, the looks were too scary to be stares. They were definitely glaring at the poor girl, sending hate ways her way. Of course the looks went unnoticed because they were closer to the front and the two blondes' backs were facing them. It was more like they were burning holes into the back of her head.
"She's not even all that pretty." Axel commented, trying to get a good look at Roxas' girlfriend. 'Ug, she shouldn't even exist.'
" Si, I know what you mean. Even your I-think-I'm-gorgeous unattractive sister looks better than her." Vanitas said and yes, he knew what he said. Kairi has appearance issues where looks are everything to her. She tries way too hard to look cute that it makes her look stupid or pretty much average, which fails.
"Ha, now that's mean. She at least looks better than her." Even though that Kairi was his sister, it didn't mean he was going to defend her. It was kind of true.
"I think she's cute." The normally quiet Riku had finally spoken. His idiot friends were just being jealous. The girl looked like a little angel and was adorable, he could see why Roxas would like her, look wise that is. Personality, they'll just have to see.
"Dakare, go back to kissing Sora's ass please." Axel spat. Why couldn't Riku be on his side for once? It wasn't fair. Bros before hoes man, bros before hoes. 'Cept you know, that's not his girlfriend, he's just choosing her side.
"Sora went off to his cousin. Since he is not here, that would be impossible. Sorry, dude."
"Whatever just-"
"HEYA GUYS! WELCOME BACK!" Yuffie shouted into the microphone. That definitely got everyone's attention. Now all eyes was on the crazy woman on stage and the line of adults behind her. Somewhere along the lines during their bickering, Roxas and Namine found their way up on the stage too, and that kid Demyx was trying to molest. Well, that's what it seemed like to Axel anyway. "Okay now that you're all looking at me we can begin. Right behind me is our camp staff, which are just local volunteers because well, I fired everyone thinking I was going to finally close this thing but I guess not. Be nice to them and like I said, do not hit on the staff. Axel and Vanitas.Just gotta make sure with you two." They rolled their eyes, no longer amused by it. "Now We do have security and they are Squall, Reno, Elena, Rude and Myself. Yeah there's only few of us but we'll get you. Remember, Ninja."
"Dude, your uncle is working here? Fuck. I want a cabin switch." Vanitas said. Reno was as you already know, a bit of a prankster and well the italian wanted nothing to do them. The elder's stupidity pissed him off.
Axel groaned. "Just fucking greaaaaaaaaat. I'm going to kill myself. Hopefully Rude will keep him away." He looked at all of them again. "Holy shit, Squall's on duty too? Man we are screwed."
"Tell me about it."
"Now our lifeguards are Rikku and Wakka. Be sure not to give him a hard time. The art department will be run by little miss Namine and her friend Zexion. The Chocobo ranch will be handled by Zack and his wife Aerith will be our Nurse. Cid will be the chef with Cid and Roxas as assistance. Lastly, our guidance counselor will be my husband, Vincent~! Who also has a few words to say to you all." She finished before handing the mic to a tall mysterious and scary looking man.
He took it, thanking the other woman before speaking. "For a last announcement I would like to say, Enjoy your time here and please respect the staff and property of the camp. If not then you will be spending the rest of your time in my office doing paperwork. Got it?" A bunch of people nodded and voiced out yes' in response. "Good. You are all dismissed to the Dinning Hall. Be sure to thank your cooks." At that Roxas flashed a peace sign and Chef Cid flashed a thumbs up while the other Cid just stood there with his arms crossed.
Then everyone began to evacuate the field and head to the eating quarters.
"Heyyyyy Riiiiiiku~! You should sit next to meeee!" Sora shouted out to the silverette, patting the spot next to him as he finally entered the room with his two companions. Next to the brunette was Roxas, who was sitting with his other half and across from her was Demyx with Zexion right next to him, trying his hardest to ignore the mohaked teen.
Riku laughed. "Don't I always?" He said to the brunette, taking his spot next to the teen.
"Of course~!"
"Disgustoso, When are they just going to hook up and save us the trouble." Vanitas whispered to Axel as they arrived to the table at last. The redhead just shrugged his shoulders. He's been wondering that for like ever. "Hey Riku, l'uomo e smettere di essere un idiota." He said to the other teen as he sat across from him, Axel sitting next to him.
Riku flipped him off. The kid was smart man. He knew about four languages fluently and they were Swedish, Italian, Japanese and English. Besides English, he learned the others for that exact reason; he would be able to understand everything his friends said.
Sora looked between the two boys. He of course didn't know italian so he was lost. "What is it? Is he being a dick again? Vanitas why can't you just leave people alone."
"Because you touch yourself at night."
"No!"
"Suuuuuure. I bet you do it thinking about me too." Vanitas smirked. Oh that flirtatious bastard.
Namine watched with a giggle while Roxas face-planted the table. Why can't his friends act normal for once?
"Ew, that I definitely do not do!" Sora shouted in protest. "If I did it wouldn't be to you that's for sure."
Axel had the hugest grin on his face. The blonde knew exactly why. He glared at the taller teen, sending him 'don't you dare' messages. The other just gave in and raised his hands in defense. He'll stay shut thistime.
"Wouldn't it be Riku?" Demyx said without thinking. Zexion pretty much did a spit take and whacked him with the book he was reading. "What is your problem?"
"What? Please, tell me I wasn't the only one who thought it!"
Sora blushed and suddenly the hem of his shirt he began to play with and the ground seemed to be a lot more interesting then his friends. Riku looked away, definitely embarrassed for Sora and himself while the two other seniors exchanged snickers. Demyx pretty much said what they were thinking and what Roxas tried to get Axel from saying out loud.
"I'm so sorry Nami. These guys are idiots but they do mean well." Roxas apologized.
"No it's fine. They are. . . very refreshing and entertaining." She said waving it off.
"And who do we have here?" Vanitas questioned as though he just realized the blonde female at their table eating with them.
"Oh my mistake. I am Namine, Roxas' girlfriend. It's nice to meet the rest of you." The girl said, introducing herself.
"Uh-huh yeah. So anyways Demyx, who's your new friend. He seems more interesting." The italian male said pretty rudely. He knew who she was, he just didn't care and wanted to be a dick. It was one of the many things he was good at.
Namine looked a bit taken aback. She knew not everyone was going to like her but that kind of hurt.
"Vanitas." Roxas glared at the stupid senior.
The teen was completely unphased. "What? Want me to lie to tua ragazza."
"I want you to at least be a civil human being you ass. Come on Nami, let's go sit with the others." He said grabbing her hand and getting up. Of course this made her rise up from her seat. "O-Okay. . ." And then they left without another word to go join Kairi, Hayner, and the rest of the gang.
"Pssh. Whatever." Vanitas rolled his eyes. Like that little stunt would affect him. He may have liked Roxas but his temper lead him to making stupid choices and then pretending not to care to over his mistakes. It's just the way he was. It was also why most people thought he was a douche.
Demyx didn't know what to do. He felt like he was just thrown in just because Vanitas wanted to insult the poor sweet girl. "Um, well, this is Zexion. He's a friend of Namine and shares a cabin with me, Noel, Hayner and Pence."
"Awesome. Ciao newcomer." He said, greeting the slate haired teen.
He just got a grunt in response.
"Oh and he's not very social."
"I noticed."
Silence.
Axel wasn't really paying attention to his stupid friends anyway. His attention was on the blonde over at the other table, laughing and smiling. What made that girl so special? She was so plain and boring looking. Oh who was he kidding, she was pretty much perfect. Damn. And he thought getting Roxas would be easier now but noooo, life had to be difficult and bring Namine into the picture. And they seemed so close and happy together. How could he get in between that. Yeah, it's not really that hard for him actually. It's just, he'll kind of feel guilty after. On the other hand, she might be a better choice for him anyway. She probably knew him a lot better than he did and it seemed like they've been together for awhile. He doubt if he could get Roxas, the blonde would just end it with her.
Sigh.
It just wasn't fair.
The next day it was a bit easier to catch the blonde alone, since his girl look-a-like lover was stuck working in the art cabin and he didn't really have to be in the kitchen the whole day. He was given a few hours to himself throughout the day. Even if they weren't really, to himself. More like, hours to be dragged around by overprotective and jealous friends then spending them alone or in the art cabin with Namine.
"Guys, where are you taking me now? Seriously, can I just rest by myself?"
"No." Both Axel and Vanitas said in unison. "And you'll see." The redhead replied, answering his first question.
"Fiiiine." Roxas sighed in defeat. There was no point in fighting these guys. You just never win.
They soon arrived to there destination. It was the Chocobo ranch. Huh, Roxas had never seen a chocobo so this was new to him. He could see some of them lazing around the field or running about. They were really big yellow birds. In a way, they kind of reminded him of his father. It kind of made him wonder why. Ah, no matter. "We're here!" The taller teen announced.
"I've realized this already." The blonde crossed his arms, waiting for them to explain themselves.
""We wanted to take you here to see them and well, maybe ride one? They're pretty awesome. And we're pretty awesome people so it's perfect!" Axel said with Vanitas nodding his head in agreement.
"Okaaay. Wait, you can ride those things?"
"Of course, gattino.It's kind of why they are here. There is a trail we can travel on around the camp. Now come on." The italian said as they entered the stable.
The man Yuffie assigned to the Chocobo ranch was Zack and he was currently brushing a chocobo behind a stall. He didn't notice the three teens entered until they were very close. Zack was a tall man with jet black hair a bright blue eyes who looked to be in his late 30s. "Hey there kiddos. How's it going?" He greeted them.
" 'Sup. Me, Axel and mio gattino want to ride around the camp. Think you can hook us up?" Vanitas asked smoothly.
"For you mio figlio, of course. I got the best ones over outside." The elder male said to his son as he placed the brush down. "Come on, follow me out back."
Roxas was a bit confused between the two males' exchanges. They talked to each other in such a familiar fashion and both spoke in Italian and wait just a minute. . . . They had so many physical characteristics in common too. Then the lightbulb went off. "That's your dad?" He announced as
reached the outside.
Vanitas snickered. "Si, è mio papa. It took you that long to notice? Xion looks exactly like him and i have his hair color and spikes."
"I'm a slow person. . . ." Roxas mumbled.
"Nah it's okay little man. Not a lot of people notice at first. Well, here you go." He motioned to the small group of chocobos out by the big tree, laying in the shade.
"Thanks Zack. You're the best." Axel said high-fiving him. It was no lie. Zack was pretty amazing guys. And who else is awesome enough to earn a title for themselves in high school? Zack the Puppy was, that's who. He was the most amazing guy in his school and definitely one of the best parents the redhead has ever met. Vanitas was one lucky dude.
"No problem." Then he ruffled his son's hair. "Behave you." He said much to the other's distaste. "And it was nice meeting you Roxas. I've heard a lot about you. You seem like a good kid. Then again, if you're anything like Cloud, I wouldn't doubt it. He was such a stickler in high school. Well, I'll see you three around later. Happy trails~!" He smiled brightly, waving to them as he walked back to the stable.
"Wha- whe- how did he?" Roxas was completely flabbergasted. There was no way!
"Cloud? Who's that?" Axel asked raising a brow.
"Cloud was my father's best friend back in his younger years. They had kind of an awesome bromance if you will. Along with Squall." Vanitas answered.
"He was?" The other two teens spoke in unison. The ravenette nodded.
Roxas laughed. "Figures. There was no avoiding you now was there?"
Vanitas looked at Roxas weirdly. "What are you talking about."
"Wait a sec. Don't tell me He's-"
"Cloud is my father." Roxas said, cutting off the redhead.
"No way! See. We were just meant to be gattino." He finished with a wink before he walked over to the laying chocobos.
Axel rolled his eyes as he followed the conceited teen with a sighing Roxas closely behind.
"Okay. I got this. I think. . . ." Roxas didn't really sound confident but he really was doing a fine job for a first timer. They've been traveling on the dirt path for some time, well more like 10 minutes that felt like forever to the blonde.
Axel laughed. "Don't you worry about it Rox, your doing fine."
"Lies."
"No. It's the truth."
"How so?"
"Because, even Vanitas can agree you're doing a good job. Heck you're even better than us when we first tried it!" He said simply.
Vanitas scoffed. "Stop talking about yourself doccia, I was already a pro."
Axel shrugged his shoulders and nodded in agreement. "yeah, you're right." His attention returned back to Roxas. "Okay so I was really bad at it the first time. Unlike his father, my uncle doesn't know how to handle a chocobo or took me to a chocobo ranch when I was younger."
"Whatever. " The ravenette just kept trekking along, now ahead of the other two.
The blonde chuckled a bit at the two's weird exchange. They were pretty amusing. Marluxia was right, there was never a boring day with them. "You guys are the best."They both looked back at him with weird looks. "What?"
Axel grinned widely. "That was the nicest thing you've said to us yet."
Even Vanitas smiled at that, but no. A guy like him doesn't smile, it was more like a smirk.
After that the rode around the camp, killing lots of time before it was close to when Roxas had to go back and help out with dinner. The blonde teen didn't want to go back though. He was having so much fun with the two seniors.
Of course they didn't notice the artist that watched them ride by with a bit of sadness. The look on Roxas' face was one that she's never seen before. He was genuinely happy with the two men who acted so hostile towards her. It seems like they were able to open him up and bring out another side of him; the real Roxas.
"What took yer so long, blondie! We gotta lot of work ta do," said Cid. Cid was the one assigned as head chef. He was a man well in his forties and was Hayner and Larxene's father. "I don't get how I went from bein' a pilot on an airship to a chef. I swear, the things I do for my family and friends."
"I'm sorry Mr. H." Roxas lowered his head in shame.
"Oh quit your complaining Highwind and let's get back to work." Since there was two Cid's, they made an agreement to call Hayner's father by his last name and the other stayed Cid. Of course that Cid was just known as Rikku's and Namie's father.
"Hmph. Yeah, yeah whatever. Let's just get this over with." The man mumbled as he rolled up his sleeves to work.
"Hey, hey what do you think your doing?" Cid tsked.
"What da hell I do now?"
"Put that thing out, we're cooking here. Last thing I need is a kid taking a bit out of his meal and getting a mouthful of ashes." He complained as he set out all the needed ingredients for dinner.
Cid rolled his eyes as he put out his cigarette and threw it in the trash. "There, ya happy now? Gotta go and take away my happiness. Now I'm stuck with these shitty things." He said as he stuck a chocolate pocky stick in his mouth. "Actually, there not that bad. . ."
"Good. Now shut up and let's get cooking. Poor kid is sitting there bored out his mind."
Roxas laughed and shook his head. "No it's alright." He enjoyed watching the two Cid's bicker, it was funny. It made being stuck in the kitchen for a few hours worth it. It's actually been awhile since he's seen Namine's father. He was still the same he's always been and constantly reminded him if he ever hurt Nami, he'd end him. Funny how things work.
Axel sat at his table with Vanitas and pretty much the other four from yesterday. And it was also the same as yesterday too. Riku failing at getting Sora and Demyx bothering poor Zexy, a nickname that much to the other's dismay, stuck. Then there was Vani just blasting Abandon All Ship's Megawacko 2.1. His headphones were loud as shit. He definitely needed a pair like that. An easy way to drown the world out.
At the table across was Roxas with that girl and another blonde on his other side. She was Rikku, the lifeguard at the beach who tried to pants him. She was also coincidentally Namine's sister. Seems legit, he hated them both. Xion sat across from Namine and next to Kairi. The three was engrossed in their own conversation about who know what. Roxas on the other hand was busy talking to Hayner and Pence.
That's when it happened. They both looked at each other and she leaned in and- Axel slammed his hands on the table as he shot out his seat and threw the a chunk of mashed potatoes at her. The goop got her right in the face, ruining the kiss that was just about to happen.
All eyes were on the redhead afterwards. "Uh. . . FOOD FIGHT!" He shouted, ruining the tension.
All the kids shouted with glee and began to throw foods at each other. It was all fun and games for awhile but Roxas knew why he did it and was extremely peeved at him.
Before things got too out of hand, Yuffie and the security squad showed up and everyone froze. "Alright, who started it?"
With no arguments they all pointed at Axel.
The Wutai woman sighed. "I fucking knew it."
"Look I can explain." The redhead began.
"Explain what? That you pelted my girlfriend in the face with mashed potatoes for no reason?" Roxas glared at him. "What the fuck Axel. What possessed you to do something so unbelievably stupid?"
Elena looked a bit sympathetic. "Roxas, don't you think you should take this elsewhere?"
Squall shook his head. "Nah, let the kid be put on the spot. Maybe he'll think twice about acting stupid after this embarrassment."
Yuffie quickly hushed them. "This is getting good! Shut up."
"I thought you were my friend Axel. A friend wouldn't treat his friend's girlfriend like that. You and Vanitas have been complete dicks to her since you met her."
Vanitas may have been mentioned but the ravenette seemed to have disappeared when the food war broke out. So it was just Axel.
"I honestly can't believe you. You-" Roxas was then abruptly cut off.
"Do you want to fucking know why Roxas? It's because I like you okay? I. Like. You. I am enamored by you. Are you fucking happy now?" Axel finally exploded. After the sudden confession the redhead teen stormed away. "I'm going to see Vincent." He said quickly to the blonde's aunt before leaving to see the raven-haired male.
"Oh fuck. Good job, yo." Reno said, thumbs upping his nephew. Rude sighed. Of course his foolish partner would just let something like that slide. His nephew just caused a food fight and made a giant mess that both Cids were not going to be too happy about and all he understood was that Axel just confessed to the other teen. Idiot.
"Okay. . ." Yuffie watched as the redhead left. "Shit man, that was better than cable." Squall couldn't help but smile at that.
To say Roxas was shocked was a completely understatement. The teen was beyond shocked. Anymore shocked and he probably would have fainted like some cheesy movie moment. Namine wasn't. She felt this vibe from the lanky teen and it seems she was correct.
Now, what was Roxas going to do about this?
Translate:
Italian: Disgustoso- disgusting
l'uomo e smettere di essere un idiota- man up and stop being an idiot
tua ragazza- your girlfriend
mio figlio- my son
Si, è mio papa- Yes, he is my father/dad.
