"Hey, you alright?"

Roxas jumped in his seat, his head snapped up from the comfort of his arms, he looked up to see a burly vision of red. He couldn't really see, with his eyes being filled with tears, the tall male standing behind him, with his hand placed lightly on his shoulder. The blond quickly looked away, wiped his eyes of any trace of the salty liquids that fogged his vision, and sniffled. Once done he looked back up to the teen, examining his features. He had bright red hair, all spiked back; deep emerald eyes that anyone would kill to have; and paled tanned skin. (as in not really pale or tanned) Another thing he noticed was that guy was tall.

Roxas realized he had kept the stranger waiting for an answer to his question. He took a slow deep breath, trying to calm his nerves before he spoke. "Y-yeah I'm alright." He mentally slapped himself for stuttering.

The teen took his hand off of the blond's shoulder, thinking he must have been scared of him. He tilted his head, looked down, and scratched the back of his head. He knew the kid wasn't alright, he just heard him crying and just saw him wipe the evidents away. The red head knew it wasn't his place to question the boy but he was oddly concerned. "You sure?"

Roxas nodded his head, choosing to not talk to the guy anymore. He knew he was just being nice but all the while, the shorter teen was getting freaked out by the fact that a stranger was asking about his well being. He stood up from his spot and called Ventus over from where ever his nephew was playing. In just a few seconds the four year old ran over to the two, looking curiously at the other male. "Wasis?" He tugged the hem of Roxas's shirt, "Who's that?"

"I'm Axel." Axel looked down at the kid smiling.

"Assel?"

At his nephew trying to say the other male's name, Roxas snorted, trying to hold in his laughter. Axel noticed this, he thought he would be nice to the obviously depressed kid, and let him have a laugh at his expense. "That's right little man, Assel the name. I hope you got it memorized." He leaned down a bit and tapped his temple while looking down at Ventus.

"Yup yup, Assel." Ven bounced up and down saying Axel's name a few more times. And before Roxas knew it, he was laughing. He took a seat back on the picnic table's bench as he held his side.

Axel smirked at the laughing boy, glad he could help if only a little. Even if he probably would never get to know why the blond was crying."So, what's your name?"

Roxas tried to stop his giggles so he could answer, however Ven beat him to it. "Wasis."

"Wasis? What a strange name. Then again my name, Assel, is strange it self. I guess that makes us strange mates." He chuckled joining the blond in small laughs.

"Wasis, I want to see daddy." Ventus looked up at his uncle, poking him on the leg.

"Okay, we'll go home Ventus." Roxas picked up the boy as he got up from his seat again, grabbed his bag, and put it on his shoulders. "Say good bye to Axel Ven."

The younger blond yawned and rubbed his eyes. "Bye bye Assel."

"Do you really have go already?" Axel frowned slighty. He knew it was strange to just go up to the kid, barely even really talk, then want him to stay.

Roxas sighed at the question. He wanted to leave right when Axel asked him if was fine. He was completely embarrassed that he let some stranger see him cry, and then get asked by said stranger if he was alright. If Ventus wasn't at the park with him, then Roxas was pretty sure he would have just ran off. But another part of wanted to stay near the guy. 'Maybe my heart is looking for a quick rebound.' He thought before he replied "Yeah, sorry about this. It's Ventus' nap time now and well you heard him, he wants to see his dad."

"Well, okay then. It was nice meeting you Wasis."

"Roxas" He corrected him, then went down the hill carefully while carrying Ventus. He didn't want to fall and drop the boy or end up crushing him if he fell and landed on him.

Roxas was glad it was summer break right now. He really wanted to just put Ven to bed, wait for Cloud to come home, take a nice long bath then sleep for the rest of the two weeks off. He didn't want to have to deal with his friends or deal with any school work at the moment. He groaned at the thought of not getting to be with Hayner anymore. That thought made him think of how he cried at the park. He didn't want to cry over it anymore or want the pain in his chest that would come with it.

When he got home he was happy to see his brother's motorcycle in the drive way. That only meant he could take his long bath sooner rather than later. "Cloud we're home."

"Park?" The elder blond asked from the living room where he was laying on the couch with his usually azure eyes closed.

"Yeah, Ven wanted to go and I just couldn't say no to him. But at least he is sleeping now. I'm going to go put him to bed then take a bath." Cloud only grunted in response to his little brother as he made his way down the hall to his nephew's room.

After placing him in his bed, the golden haired teen went to take his much needed bath. The whole time in the confines of the bathroom, the boy let out everything he was holding back, this time with out interruption. And with out noticing the blond fell asleep in the tub, as it drained itself from the lack of correctly being plugged.

There was a knock on the bathroom door followed by a feminine voice asking if he was alright in there. Roxas blinked his eyes a few times trying to wake up. "Yeah, sorry Tifa, I must have fallen asleep."

"Roxas you should really be careful where you sleep." Was all she said, leaving so he could get dressed.

Roxas didn't live at home anymore, instead he lived with his brother, sister-in law, and his nephew. He used to live with his father at his old house but do to some munny problems, they ended up losing the house. The two packed up their things and moved in with his grandfather. It was a two room apartment so he had to share a room with his old man, which really wasn't a good idea. Roxas and his dad had always gotten along just fine but two months of sharing a room changed that for the worse. The would end up in arguments and some how his grandfather got involved in them too.

Roxas had enough of living there so he took his brother's offer of moving in there. It took him a while to get used to things there. He never really spent any time with Cloud. He left home when he was 16 while Roxas just turned 8. Cloud had his reasons for leaving but Roxas was just to young at the time to understand it. So it was kind of weird to live with him and his family. Luckily after a year of living with them, things seemed to be normal. He enjoyed being able to go out with out asking first. He just had to let them know he was going out and all was good. He didn't mind baby sitting Ventus while Cloud and TIfa worked or went out on dates. He didn't mind that they used him a lot so they could go out a lot.

The whole time he was over there he barely bothered to talk to his father or see him. The only times he did go see him was when he thought he missed him but would then realize he didn't. Or when he was sick. The last time he saw him, he told him about liking Hayner. The man was beyond pissed and didn't want to believe his child was gay. He told him it was just a phase and he would get over it soon. That only crushed Roxas feelings, hurting him and getting pissed himself. He planned to never talk to the man no matter how much he wish he could see him right now. He wanted comfort after Hayner dumped him.

Roxas sighed to himself while stepping out of the bathroom. He told Tifa and Cloud he wasn't feeling well and just wanted to sleep. So he went to bed that night with an empty stomach and puffy, blood shot eyes. He did the same thing every day for the rest of the summer only saying that he already ate before they got there. Roxas would only eat twice a week, since Cloud and Tifa were off on the weekends. He couldn't tell them he just ate if they where always there.

Things only got worse as the summer went by. Hayner called Roxas and asked him to meet him at the mall. Roxas agreed happily, getting his hopes up that Hayner wanted to get back together. He wanted to get back together. That day at the mall Hayner acted as if nothing had changed between them. That night, Hayner had Roxas come over when his parents weren't home. They went up into his room and had sex. Apparently Hayner missed having Roxas take him. It was something Olette couldn't do and something he was to lazy to do himself. After they finished Hayner thanked him and then told him Olettle would be coming over soon. So he told Roxas to leave. Roxas broke down and couldn't move, so Hayner tried to calm him down while he called Cloud to come get him. When Cloud questioned him, Roxas didn't say anything.

That summer Roxas Strife had changed . It was now time for school. Roxas went there with about five percent hope that his friends wouldn't mind the change. After a month of them hanging out with the much more quieter Roxas, they slowly started to ignore him. They would still try to talk to him but would only end up being ass holes to him.

"Stop being so damn emo!"

"Stop being a bitch to us you fucking ass!" That one had him really confused as to how he was being a bitch, when he never did anything or said anything bad to them. He was quieter now but he still talked to them sometimes.

"You're such a downer, you bring us all down and its fucking annoying."

"What ever the hell is the matter, grow a pair and get over it. I don't care if some one died, get the fuck over it!"

"Look you ass face, I'm tired of you making us all so pissed so if you don't knock this shit off you loser goth, I'll kick your ass."

"Roxas want to hang out, you seem down." That would confuse him even more. The more his friends would yell at him the more he wanted to get away from them. So he ignored them for awhile. Then they came crawling back to him like they never called him names or anything. Roxas, for those reasons, just left them for good. He didn't want to be around anyone anymore. Being quiet let him see everyone's true colors. He was now that weird kid at sat a lone at lunch. But it was his choice. He didn't want to get close to anyone now.

"Class quiet down, we have a new student joining us." It was now mid October and Roxas was in his fourth period class. He was sitting in the back of his math class, which consisted of both juniors and seniors. He looked to the front of the room while his teacher talked about a new student joining them. If it was just a class change then she wouldn't have bothered saying anything. So it must have been new new student. A student that was actually new to the school.

"Now I know some of you probably have already met him, but there are others who have not. Would you please come in dear and introduce yourself again for the rest of the class?" She stared at the door with a smile.

Roxas just laid his head on his desk. Why should he care about anyone new joining the class. He was just going to ignore him unless he had to work with him on any group assignments.

"Sure thing teach."

Roxas picked his head back up as soon as he heard the new class mate's voice. 'That voice'

The teen walked into the room grinning at his teacher and fellow classmates. This caused Roxas eyes to widen and his mouth drop open from shock. 'You've got to be kidding me.'

"I'm Hayner, nice to meet you all."

so what did you think? what did you think of the new guy being Hayner? Did you think it would be Axel? XD so did I but my brain told me change it for this chapter. Don't worry Axel will be in the next chapter promise. please review and let me know what you think
