School was finally let out making a very certain blond happy that the day was over. Roxas got up from his seat, put his bag's strap over his shoulder, pulled his hood over his head, and walked out the back door of his history class. He stared at the ground as he walked to front of the school, praying he didn't bump into anyone. Boy was he lucky right now. He made it off of the campus, walked a few blocks down the road to pick up Ventus.
He really couldn't believe he almost forgot to pick him up. It was hard to believe when he picked him up every day. 'It must have been those guys.' He thought as he crossed the street not bothering to look for on coming drivers. He was to lost in thought to worry about anything else. He wondered why Hayner called him his boyfriend when they both knew he was seeing that Olette girl. 'Maybe they broke up and he wants me back? Would I even go back to him?'
He frowned while he made it to the younger blond's school and sat on the ground near a blue gate since he had to wait thirty more minutes for the kids to be let out. He put his hand over his heart and began to think of Hayner more, trying to see what he felt for him. If he felt anything at all. 'Hayner, Hayner, Hayner. I love you?' He made a face like he really needed to concentrate on that question. 'I want to be with Hayner?' He trembled at the thought as he felt his heart pound and ache. "No, I don't want to be with him anymore but...I think I still have feelings for him."
'Well that's just great. If I'm around him then those small feelings will grow again. I don't want that pain again. Hayner...he was my everything a-and'
"Uncle Wasis?"
Roxas tilted his head back to look behind himself. He saw Ventus in line with a bunch of other little kids that were part of his class. They always did that even when Roxas was in kindergarten. He remembered it was where he first met Hayner and Pence. It was the end of the day and the teacher had them all line up in two single file rows. Roxas was in the front of one of the lines, Pence was next to him in the other line and Hayner was right behind Roxas. As the line moved out of the class room and turned down the hall to the gates outside, Hayner bumped into Pence, which caused Pence to stubble over grabbing hold of Hayner so he wouldn't fall over. Hayner ended up grabbing hold of Roxas, pulling him down with him on top of Pence. He remember the three of them got in trouble and had to be pulled to the side to explain to the teacher that it wasn't a fight like she thought, that it was an accident.
He shook his head at the memory, got up from the ground and moved to the side to wait for the gate to opened. When it did open, Ventus ran straight to him expecting his uncle to pick him up. Roxas laughed as he picked the smaller blond up and held him.
"So how was school today?" He asked as he started walking toward the side walk.
"Wasis, can I ride on your back?"
He shifted his nephew around so that he had both of his small legs on his sides and his arms around his neck loosely. He move his arms so that they supported the boy so he didn't fall off. "So are you going to answer Ven?"
He nodded his head, "Can we go to the park?"
"Ven?"
"Pleeeeeeease?"
Roxas sighed, "Alright fine. You're just lucky it's warm weather right now other wise we would be going home right now."
"Thank you." He giggled and bounced a few times. "It was fun, I made another new friend today. Her name is Aqua and, and, and she is in second grade."
"How did you become friends with a second grader? I thought that they separated you guys from the bigger kids?"
"Mm, they did but Aqua came with her class to mine. She helped me read, even though I don't need help." He spoke happily, "She said I was the smartest and cutest kid she has ever seen. I asked her if I could be friends with her and she said she loved to."
"Oh that's really nice Ven, I'm glad you're making friends. Who was your other friend again?" Roxas really was happy for his nephew. Ventus was a smart kid for his age, well in reading and writing anyway. It was harder for him to make friends with the kids in class though. All of them hated him since he could actual do better in something then them.
"Oh Terra!" He beamed bouncing again as Roxas made his way to the park that was now only twenty-five minutes away.
"Yeah, didn't you say he was a third grader? You never did tell me how you met him."
"Terra was in my class for being bad!" He giggled. "My teacher felt bad for him, so she had him sit next to me and draw. All I had to do was draw a picture a of us and we became friends."
"Ven, why don't you invite them over this weekend? That way daddy and mommy can meet them and you can play with them." Yes Roxas just called Cloud and Tifa mommy and daddy. He only did that when he talk to Ven about them. It was so he knew who he was talking about.
"Really Wasis? I can do that?" Roxas could tell his eyes lit up.
"Yes but you have to ask mommy and daddy first, then you have to ask Terra and Aqua so they can ask their parents."
"I will, I will, I will!"
"V-Ven you're" cough "Choking me"
"I'm sorry Wasis."
Roxas coughed before regaining his breath. He told him it was alright and for him not to do it again. Ventus asked him about his day at school making Roxas flinch. He told him it was an okay day and that nothing really happened. He didn't want to bring up Hayner or Axel to the five year old. He didn't need drama in his young life.
"Yay the park! Let me down Wasis?" Roxas shook his head, walking up the hill to the playground he knew his nephew really wanted to go to.
"You know if you keep asking me to take you here everyday after school, I'm going to be really sore." He put the blond down and sat at a table in the shade. Ventus giggled, dropped his Adventure Time backpack and just took off to the practically empty play ground, which only had about three or four other kids.
Roxas took his bag off his shoulder, placed it on the table, and stretch his back and legs hearing a crack here and there. He took off his hoodie and placed it next to his bag cursing himself for wearing it the whole day. It really was one weird October day. Last year around this time it was really windy and nice and cold. But today it has been hot. Summer hot for that matter and there he was, wearing a black hoodie all day until just now.
He took out his homework and a bottle of water from his bag, planning on just doing it there, so he didn't have to worry about it later. It was already 3:20 in the afternoon and he had a lot of work to do. If he did it later, he wouldn't get it done until eleven at night. He had other things to do once he got back home so he couldn't procrastinate. "I'll start with you, you evil math home work."
About two hours later, the blond sighed in relief to be done with his work. He put his things away in his bag, deciding it was time for Ven to do his own homework. He got up and walked over to him as he went down the slide. "Ven, come on, time for homework."
"Do I have to?" Ven pouted, taking his uncle's hand, heading back to the table.
"Yes, now stop whining Ven, I promise that when you're done you can play for a while longer before we go back home. If it gets to dark mommy will kill me. You don't want that do you?"
"Yes, that way I can play all day here." He kept pouting as he sat down.
"Ouch that's gotta hurt, right Roxas?"
Roxas stiffened up hearing the familiar voice from behind him. He slowly turned around to face a fake pain stricken Axel. Ventus gasped when he saw him, and unlike Roxas, he got up, stood on his seat, and clapped joyfully. "Assel! Assel! Wasis look, it's Assel!"
"Well hello there Ventus, it's an honor that you remember me." He chuckled and bowed once causing Ven to giggle.
"Ven, you don't have to do your homework right now-"
"I don't?"
"-no, where going back home now." Roxas turned to him ignoring his whining of 'whys' and 'pleases'. He slipped his bag over his shoulder and put Ventus' backpack on him. He was about to pick him up but a hand on his shoulder stopped him. It caused him to shiver just a bit.
"Roxas, you can't just go just because I showed up. It's not fair to Ventus." Roxas shoved his hand off him and ignored him. "Roxas, please let me explain what happened at school today, please?"
"You go to school with Wasis?" Ven jumped from the bench and wandered over to Axel, tugging on his pant leg. He wanted Axel to pick him up.
The red head leaned down and lifted the smaller blond up, nodding his head. "That's right. You see Ventus, I'm new here and when I saw your uncle I was really happy to see a familiar face, even if we only met once." He looked at Roxas back and continued. "But I made a mistake and now your uncle is mad at me and he won't even let me apologize or explain anything to him. It's making me feel really sad." He looked down showing the younger of the three how sad he was.
This made Ventus hug the teen trying his best to comfort him. "I'm sorry Assel, Uncle Wasis is being a meanie head to you. I'll tell mommy on him and she'll make him say sorry to you and make him listen to you."
'Oh no.'
"Aww really Ventus? Thanks buddy." He smiled at the kid happily.
"Assel will you be my friend?" He asked him shyly.
"Well of course Ven, I'd be happy to be your friend."
"Wasis! I have a new friend!" He smiled happily calling his uncle over.
Roxas couldn't ignore Ventus no matter how badly he wanted to. There was also the threat of telling Tifa about him being rude in front of her son. He knew very well that Ven would in fact, tell her about this if he kept ignoring Axel. More now that the guy was now his friend. "That's nice Ven...Now why don't you go and play while I talk with Axel."
"Okay!" Axel put him down and watched as he scurried over to marry-go-round.
"That was dirty." Roxas spat frustrated.
"Oh you think so? I was being serious the whole time Roxas. I do feel sad, well bad, and I wasn't joking about being friends with Ventus." He sat down, staring at Roxas, waiting for him to sit before going on. "Anyway Roxas, I'm sorry about what happened today. I hope I didn't offend you or hurt you by what I said."
"Axel, it really wasn't what you said. And I'm not mad at you I just..." He laid his head down on the table.
"You just what Roxas? You can tell me?" He leaned over and hesitantly took the other's hand.
Roxas snapped his head up, yanking his hand back. "Axel, please don't touch me."
"Sorry." He scratched the back of his head. "Well I guess I should get going then."
"Axel wait." Roxas called as the redhead stood up to leave.
"Hm?"
"You never explained what it was about. I-If you tell me then I'll tell you." He gulped looking away.
"How about you tell me first?" He sat back down, once again taking Roxas' hand, squeezing it once to reassure him.
"I-I...Axel I don't want to be close to anyone. And I have trust issues that go beyond anyone I know. That's all I'm saying, even though I don't trust that you won't just get up and leave."
"Well, you have to trust me in some way right? Other wise you wouldn't have told me this nor would you let me hold your hand or make friends with your nephew, let alone pick him up."
He had a point. Maybe he did trust him, that or he didn't want Ven to start up a storm of complaining and whining. But then again that doesn't explain why he told him and why he was still letting him hold his hand. At that thought, he pulled his hand back and rested both his hands on his lap. "I guess, maybe a little."
Axel smiled at him, "Okay I guess that means I have to explain some things. How long do you have till you have to get home?"
Roxas blinked confused, then took out his phone to check the time. "Ah crap" He jumped out of his seat and grabbed his bag, hoodie and Ven's backpack. "Shit! Tifa's going to kill me. Ventus we have to go, now!" He yelled for his nephew to hurry his little butt up.
"Need a ride?"
He bit his lip making it bleed again. 'I shouldn't but if I don't get Ven home now Tifa will kill me and then Cloud will kill me for making Tifa kill me. Damn it I have no choice.' "T-that would be great thanks."
"See, you do trust me." Axel chuckled as he walked to the parking lot to get the car started.
"Hey, it's only because I have to get Ven home. Other wise we would walk."
"Oh Roxas how you hurt me."
"You're hurting Assel again?" Ventus came over frowning at his uncle.
"Ven just get your bag so Axel can give us a ride home."
"Assel can drive?! Yay car ride, car ride, car ride!"
"Thanks for the ride." Roxas unbuckled himself when the car stopped in front of his house. Ventus said the same thing then jumped out of the car and ran inside, He was excited to tell his mom and dad about making two new friends today.
"No problem. Listen Roxas, about my explanation."
"Yeah?"
"You got time before you have to go in?"
Roxas looked at the house and could see Ven looking out the window waving at them. They both waved back then watched as the front door opened and out walked Tifa with Ven right behind her. "Crap." He mumbled under his breath as they got closer to the car.
"Hello, you must be one of Ven's new friends and Roxas' classmate. I'm Tifa, Ventus's mother and Roxas' sister." She smiled at Axel while Roxas looked down at his lap feeling embarrassed.
"It's nice to meet you ma'am. I'm Axel and yes I'm his new friend and I'm also Roxas' friend too. I hope you don't mind that I'm friends with your son and brother."
"Oh not at all. In fact I'm really happy that my baby and Roxas are friends with you. I don't mind that your older than him. Thank you for giving them ride home." She smiled sweetly as Ventus tugged on his mom's black dress. "Hm? Oh I'm sorry hunny. Axel would you like to stay the weekend with us?"
'Oh no Ven, not Axel, you were supposed to ask for Terra and Aqua' Roxas bit his lip again just as harshly as he did that morning.
"Sure, it'll be fun."
"Yay thank you Assel, thank you mommy!"
"See you then dear, Roxas I'm sorry, it looked like you and Axel were talking. I'll take Ven back inside and let you finish." She picked him up and went back inside.
"Well this sounds like it will be a fun weekend, don't you think Roxas? We'll get to spend more time with each other and-"
"Fuck you!"
"Roxas?"
"Axel I told you I don't want to get close to anyone and that includes you."
"Roxas, I just thought that-"
"Axel...please just leave me alone...I don't want to go through that pain again. I'm sorry but I can't even be friends with you. You can be friends with Ven but not me." Roxas got out of the car and walked up to the house, went into his room and went straight to bed. 'I'm sorry Axel, I really am. I just can't let myself be near anyone.'
Back outside, Axel just sat in the car replaying things. 'What did I say or do to make him do that? I really thought we were getting along. He said something pain. What could have happened to him?'
