Chapter Two: Milkshakes and Fuckboys

"And he still didn't listen to you?" Axel prodded even though he could visibly see the anger radiating off of the redheaded girl in front of him.

"Axe, I've been trying the past four days for him to just listen to me, I'm so tired of this. You guys don't care how much this is screwing with all of us," Kairi pulled her hair back into a loose ponytail before continuing. "He barely eats, you won't eat. He won't talk to me, his best friend of fifteen years. He's lashing out on teachers, students, anybody that looks at him the wrong way, it's so fucking dramatic. He's not the same Axel," she closed her eyes, not wanting to ask the same question she's been asking all week. "Axel, tell me the truth. Did you che-"

"Kairi, how many times are you going to ask me this? I fucking told you, no. I did not cheat on him. Vanitas came onto me, and I immediately left the room. I left no window of opportunity to cheat on him. Nor would I ever cheat on him. I can't believe he is even trusting that rat's word over mine," he snapped, throwing his body further into the couch, crossing his right leg over his left.

"I was just asking!" She yelled over his final words. "God Axel, you two need to grow up," she sighed, placing her fingers on her temples, rubbing them lightly. She felt her hands begin to shake gently, realizing how worked up she was getting. "He won't open up to me Axel… He just stares at me, right fucking through me. He doesn't laugh with me, or smile…" Kairi closed he eyes, feeling small tears burn in the corners of her eyes. "I know heartbreak is a bitch, but he's giving it a new definition."

Don't cry.

She laughed forcefully, immediately pulling herself out of the situation.

"You two are driving me crazy. One minute I'm crying, the next I'm laughing. You're affecting everyone around you, and it's driving all of us insane." She stood up, watching intently as her brother pulled out his phone. "Don't bother calling him, he won't answer you. He won't until he wants to," she said as she turned away, tucking a loose strand behind her ear.

"Then what should I do Kairi?" Axel spat, throwing his phone gently against the couch. "I can't just leave him alone and ignore him," he sighed, placing his elbows on his knees, leaning forward slightly.

"And why can't you do that? That's exactly what he's doing to you," she replied without thinking, noticing her brother's eyes widen. She sighed, sitting down on the couch next to him. "I'm sorry Axel, I didn't mean…" She leaned towards him, attempting to put her arm on his back when he moved further away, his other hand outstretched towards her.

"Don't."

She looked away, not needing to see the muddled tears forming in the corners of his eyes. This was what she was talking about. The past four days, everyone has had to tread carefully around Roxas and Axel in hopes that something they said didn't offend one of them. She sighed heavily, tucking her feelings and her issues away for the twentieth time this week and stood up.

"Why don't you try to meet him at school tomorrow? Try to pick him up at the end of the day?" She questioned easily, not entirely sure if he would agree with the idea. "It'll either go one of two ways… He'll agree to talk to you, or he won't… And if he doesn't how could it be any worse than it is now?" She added gently, seeing her brothers eyes open softly.

"Yeah…" he replied softly, nodding his head lightly. "Yeah, you're right…" he looked up to her, a small smile on his face showing the other that she was easily forgiven. "I love you Kai," he stood, wrapping his arms around his sister tightly, not showing any signs of releasing. She smiled and laughed lightly, happy that the tense air of the room quickly left.

"I love you too Axel," she spoke softly. "I just want the two of you back together," she added.

"Me too."

From: Queen Kairi

I work six to close. If you show, there's a sea-salt milkshake with your name on it. If you don't, then don't expect to live through tonight. 3

He sighed heavily and threw his phone to the foot of his bed, not even bothering to answer the message that Kairi had sent him. It was the normal routine. Roxas was upset about something somebody did, and Kairi invited him to the diner for a "free" milkshake. She thought she was being sneaky by telling him that it was free, but Roxas knew that Kairi had to pay for it. He never mentioned anything because he saw how happy it made Kairi whenever Roxas opened up to her. Plus, she got a small break every time he walked in.

Of course tonight, he had no plans of actually opening up to her. Call him crazy, but he wasn't entirely keen on the fact that his ex-boyfriends sister was trying to scoot her way between the two of them. It was just plain awkward, but their friendship was strange, and he couldn't help but applaud her determination.

Nine times out of ten, no matter what they fought about, there was an automatic 'forgive and forget' policy that managed to find it's way to them within five minutes of an argument. He knew that she was already over the small fight they had at school, and if he was being completely honest, he was over it the second it happened.

He slid off the bed, leaving his phone behind as he made his way to the dark cherry floorboards of his room, towards the indented windowsill. It was clear that he was the favorite child, because whenever Sora and Roxas fought about who would get the room with the bay windows, their mother immediately squashed the fight and gave it to him. He sat down on the cushion and leaned against the windowsill, staring down towards the end of the cul-de-sac. The house at the end of the circle felt more like home than the one he currently stood in, and he silently begged for time to turn the clocks back before any of this shit storm started. He turned his attention to the road, where rain was beginning to fall lightly, wishing the temperature were slightly colder so that it could take the shape of snowflakes.

He turned back to his phone that was lying face down on his small, twin-sized bed. He hadn't received a message or a call from Axel in the past three hours. Since Monday, Axel would text him a couple times in school, and then he would hammer his phone with texts and calls the second he got out of school till he turned his phone off at night.

Maybe he's with someone…

Stop. He shook his head, trying to physically shake the thoughts from out of it. Even if Axel were with somebody else, it didn't matter.

They weren't together. They were done. He walked over to his bed to pick up his phone, immediately putting it into his pocket. He ripped his t-shirt off, and walked over to his closet to find a dark blue 'Destinia University' sweatshirt that his mother had gotten him as a 'please don't leave the island for college' present last month. Entering the hallway, he descended the staircase only to be shot with the smell of a fresh cooked dinner. His mother has been making all of his favorites since the breakup. He sighed, walking into the kitchen slowly. He had no idea how to get out of this one.

"Rox, sweetie, dinner will be ready short- … you are staying, aren't you?" Ayumi spoke softly, noticing his sweatshirt and combat boots, frowning lightly. Sora finally stared up from his cell phone, noticing the grim expression on Roxas's face.

"I promised Kairi I would meet her for something. She said she really needed to talk, but I'll be home soon… If you can just push dinner back like, an hour…"

"Uh… Don't keep her too long," Sora interjected, a small understanding smile on his face. "She looked like, super upset today," he piped in, knowing all too well of the twin game they were playing. Roxas sent him a small smile, thanking him silently for covering, before making his way to the front door.

"Don't keep her waiting dear, but be back soon. You know how much I hate when my two little men aren't here to have dinner with me," Ayumi smiled, slapping Sora gently for rolling his eyes.

"Wouldn't dream of it mom," Roxas joked before walking out the door and into the cold fall air.

"Sora honey, do me a favor and stop adding to Roxas's cover story. He's a better liar than you, you just make me believe him less," she smiled, turning towards the stove. "Grab a plate, dinner's ready."

"You haven't touched your milkshake, sire," Kairi set her tray down onto the table in front of her, sitting down casually across from Roxas to relieve some of the pain in her feet. Her boss had just insisted that they act like an old-school diner and wear roller skates.

"Actually, peasant, I had a sip," Roxas looked at the girl in front of him, noticing her eyes of wonderment.

"Oh dear, a single sip! It'll go straight to your ass," she smiled, reaching over to his milkshake and taking a long sip.

"I don't think your boss will appreciate th-"

"Oh shut it, I'm on break," she choked. "And Cid isn't even here. Also, you're like the only customer in here," she finished, using the brown plastic tray to fan herself.

Roxas looked around the restaurant, noticing that the booths that had families in it just twenty minutes ago were now empty, leaving only Terra to clean them up.

"I guess I spaced out for a while," he sighed, feeling the redhead across him relax into her seat.

"He misses you."

"Kairi."

That's all he had to say. One simple word, and Kairi knew not to push her boundaries anymore for the day. Especially if they already fought that day. He grabbed for his milkshake, picking the spoon out of it and playing with the light blue colored concoction that Kairi had mixed several minutes prior.

"You want to talk about anything in particular?" She placed her hands forward, taking the glass and placing it at the end of the table. "I'll listen," she smiled.

He sighed, muttering lightly to himself, and closed his eyes with a small shake of his head.

"What was that?" Kairi leaned forward.

"Roxas, long time no see," Terra spoke smoothly, placing his tray down onto the table gently on top of Kairi's. "You don't come around as often as before, you should change that," he smiled, sitting down next to Roxas gently. "I'm not interrupting anything, am I?"

"Actually-"

"No, it's fine Terra," Roxas replied, giving Kairi a small glare. "We were just hanging out and talking. I actually have to get going in a little anyway," Roxas nodded, scooting away from Terra just slightly, to put more room in between them.

"Listen, I heard about Axel, I just wanted to say I'm sorry to hear about that," he spoke smoothly, placing a hand on Roxas's shoulder. Roxas shrugged it off, and looked to Kairi for help, apologizing with his eyes that he had shut her down just moments ago.

"Are you kidding me Terra, you don't just do that," Kairi spat, picking up his tray and shoving it towards him. "Go finish cleaning the tables, I've tried to work all day to make Roxas happy and you ruin it with one sentence," she sighed, watching the taller brunette stand.

"I wasn't trying to-"

"It's fine… I just, don't want to talk about it," Roxas spoke gently. "It was nice to see you Terra." Roxas replied shortly, clearly wanting the other male to leave. Luckily he picked up on the implication and skated away slowly, picking up dirty glasses and plates on his way towards the kitchen.

"Can you fucking believe that guy?" Kairi asked, shaking her head side to side. "Beautiful? Yes, but dumb as a brick. You just don't go around saying shit like that, like the fuck?"

"Everything's wrong," Roxas spoke, voice wavering slightly as he looked towards the table. Kairi immediately stopped insulting Terra and reached over to grab Roxas's hands. This is exactly what she wanted, Roxas to break down enough to get him to want to talk.

"I know," she muttered lightly, rubbing her thumbs against his hands gently. "You'll pull through this Roxas, you always do. You're strong."

"He's been my entire life for almost three years now Kairi. You just don't bounce back from that in a week," Roxas spat, desperately begging for the tears in the corners of his eyes to disappear. He was honestly surprised he could still cry. "I want him back so bad, you don't even know. But I can't shake the feeling that I have to share his bed with somebody else, or that I have to kiss him, right after Vanitas did."

"Roxas, you don't even know if that's true."

"I know it is, Kairi. I just… I just know," he stopped her cold, yet again. He glanced over to his milkshake, picking it up and taking one last sip out of it.

"I'm not really hungry or thirsty anymore, I think I'm going to head home," Roxas slid out of the seat, pulling his hands out of Kairi's grip and avoiding her eye contact. He knew he shouldn't be pissed off at Kairi, but hey… you lash out on the people that will forgive you the most.

"You can't run from this forever, Rox," she spoke quickly, standing up slowly as she grabbed her tray.

I know I can't…

"Watch me."
