Axl. Axl. Axl. Is the only that's been on my mind for the past two weeks. It's safe to say that this is no ordinary guy crush. In fact this guy crush is actually a romantic crush. It's been seriously awkward at times but still I progress. At realising this I had the whole "Oh shit does this mean I'm gay now?!" Will I start wearing super bright rainbow colors? Was I going to get a small dog and start carrying it around in a purse!? Oh god...am I going to start wearing Guyliner?.. Oh lord...no...not the guyliner anything but that... But after a week I got over it. I no longer cared that I was turning into a lovesick fruit. Hell I might as well make up my own homo jojo poses. See what I did there?
So I've been working at this company for a good month now. It's safe to say that I'm used to the weirdness. Yes even Wednesdays. But there was something I wasn't used to. Our rival companies president Blues. It all began on a thursday morning. I was being overly nice to a random customer who was on the phone with a random small problem that didn't even make sense. A problem that they're policy already covered. I wanted to yell out "FREAKING IDIOT. I TOLD YOU THAT YOUR POLICY COVERED IT. DID I STUTTER?!" I wanted to. But of course it came out " Sir did I fail to mention that your policy already covers that?" In a nice tone. It anyways it was another day of all that when suddenly I heard loud foot steps. Everyone looked over at the door. I did too expecting something to go down. Suddenly the door was kicked down. Zero looked up from his desk with a look of disapproval.
"Better pay for that shit." He said without looking up anymore. I looked over to see some seriously diverse hair. Like in all seriousness this guy was opening defying gravity with his hair. Was anyone else seeing this? Was this regular? Guess it was regular. Should've known. I guess I'd better describe this guy. He had on a red sweater and grey pants with a grey and red scarf. He had sunglasses on indoors. And his hair was styled into a pompadour...which to say the least...was fabulous. I'm not ashamed to admit that. He walked over to Zero's desk and smirked with a smug face. Zero looked up slightly annoyed.
"So Zero. Did you see my company's rates?" Blues said with a cocky smile. Zero looked slightly butthurt. The two began to bicker back and forth. At this point Axl walked over to my desk and whispered "That's Blues. He's the president of our rival company." Suddenly it registered to me who exactly this was. It was the voice from the phone on the first day. I looked over at him again. He was still talking smack to Zero with a sure look on his face. Zero made an unamused face. Still looking at them it didn't really look like they were mad at each other. I spaced out a bit and Axl started saying something about instigating. which smacked me back to reality. I nodded not really knowing what I was nodding to. Axl sighed. I looked over at him.
"Your not listening are you? You're in space right now." Axl said. At this I scratched the back of my head and let out a "Hah sorry" Axl faintly smiled and said
"I was saying that Blues totally wants that Zero D." Axl said. I look at them. Then I look back at Axl. Then I look back at them.
"Axl I just don't think..." I start. But suddenly Axl speaks.
"He's totally tsundere. They were rivals from all the way back in the day." Axl says with a knowing smile. This makes me curious. I didn't really know how exactly Axl had known X and Zero for so long. I always wanted to ask but I never did. Now was my chance.
"So how far back are we talking?" I ask. Axl thinks for a minute.
"I'm talking farther than a 5th grade spelling bee far." Axl said as he's still in the thought.
"Seriously?" I say. Axl nods. Fifth grade seems like ages ago. I can't imagine holding a grudge for that long.
"Yeah it all started when...They were both student of the month is third grade at the same time. I don't remember it all that great but I do a hair pulling fight." Axl says with a scrunched up thinking face. I notice to myself that I like that face that he's making. It was cute. Scratch that last part.
"I can't imagine keeping a grudge that long..." I say picturing little Zero and Blues pulling each other's hair and throwing punches. I chuckle to myself at this.
"Yeah but this tsundere lost his chance. It's a shame he never confessed." Axl says with a smug look.
"Why's that?" I ask.
"Well duh there's X. No one can compete with X when it comes to Zero." Axl said simply. This made me wonder something.
"How long have X and Zero been together anyways?" I asked.
"Since the start of 8th grade. I instigated it too." Axl said with an accomplished look.
"WOW. That's...a really long time." I say.
"Well that's true love if I ever did see it." Axl said. I nodded.
"Tell me the story?" I suggest. Axl shakes his head.
"This is more of a fairy tale bedtime type story. Besides I have a feeling the fairy tale will be completed today." Axl says with a knowing smile.
"What do you mean?" I ask not quite getting where he's going with this.
"No spoilers." He says as he walks back to his desk. I shrugged. Guess I would find out later. A few minutes later Blues left, and the office was normal for a bit. Then came lunch break. After going across the street and getting a bunch of fruit muffins and green tea, I sat down in the lounge and started playing Catherine with Axl. We were currently going ham on story mode. We were to the part when both of the Catherines meet. It was getting real. I spoke randomly.
"So one question. C Catherine or K Katherine?" I say as I take a sip of the green tea. Axl was in the middle of talking to the screen.
"Hoe better close her legs...Wait what are you saying Rock?" He responded pausing the game for a sec. I repeated myself.
"C or K?" I ask once more.
"Oh gosh lets see...I want to pick K Katherine because she's a mature woman, but I don't think she'd like me being the slacker that I am...C Catherine on the other hand would be good with my life style...and lets face it she's cute. But I don't think I could handle a crazy bitch with out shaking some sense into her...So I'm going with Erica." Axl said. I chuckle.
"Erica really? You know she's a tranny right?" I say.
"Even better." Axl says plainly. I stare at him with a slightly odded out glance. Suddenly X walks up and sits down next to us.
"Playing Catherine I see." X says with a smile.
"Want a turn?" I offer. X shakes his head.
"No I'm absolutely horrid at this game. Plus Zero told me I should wait here for something." X says. Axl makes a super happy face and X and I look at him with confusion.
"Alright what's that face for Axl?" X asks.
"Erm...nothing...Come on Rock let's go erm...compliment Roll." Axl said dragging me off the couch. I'm slightly confused but I go along with it. Once we're out of the lounge I ask questions.
"So...what was that?" I ask.
"It's going down." Axl says then he continues. "The proposal."
"Who is?" I ask still confused.
"Freaking Zero." Axl answers frantically.
"OH MY GOD." I say loud all of a suddenly realising what this meant.
"I KNOW RIGHT?! Lets witness this moment." Axl says with what looked like stars in his eyes. We open the lounge door and peak in the room. Leaving the door open so we can hear the whole thing go down. Zero walks up and pecks X on the cheek and sits down next to him. Suddenly he starts talking.
"X we've been through a lot of times together haven't we?" Zero says. X tilts his head to the side and smiled.
"Yeah we have haven't we." X said.
"Yep and from all that time it's been the same spark and the same charisma we share, I knew I loved you from that night senior year when we'd sat on my porch in the middle of the night after Axl's paintball tournament." Zero said fondly. X chuckled.
"It was a hot summer night and we were drenched with paint and water but still everything felt right." X said.
"When I think back on that night I still feel exactly the same way as I did all those years ago. There was nothing else I needed. So to make a long story short..." Zero got on his knee's for this last part and pulled out a little small case. X's mouth was open a little bit in surprise.
"Will you marry me X?" Zero asked. The room got dead silent. Axl and I started squealing from the doorway. All of the eyes in the room were on X and Zero. Even Sigma started to eavesdrop.
"Yes" X said simply. Zero embraced X. The room applauded. Axl shed mini proud tears. I felt like I was going to explode from cuteness. Roll, Kalinka and Alia were gossiping already. Iris was giving a murderous look. I couldn't imagine why. Even Sigma was sniffling on the side lines.
Their wedding was supposed to take place a month from then. Here I am now hours before the ceremony in Axl's living room watching lucky star. All suited up and ready for the wedding. Axl randomly splirted out :
"I can't believe my best friends are getting married in less than 4 hours." Axl said.
"You know I hear the songs list is going to be badass." I say as I watch Konata harass Kagami on the screen.
"Yeah it will be. I helped pick...dude I'm hype for this." Axl said.
"What do you think will happen if someone objects?" I say with a smirk as I think about it.
"Pffft. X and Zero would probably jump off the altar and kick some ass. Well if I don't get to them first. Although I can't really picture X doing that in the dress he picked..." Axl said.
"DUDE. He's wearing a dress?" I asked slightly surprised. Now I am a little bit more excited to go to this wedding.
"Hah...yeah. I gotta say he's rocking it good." Axl said.
"Wow." I say trying to picture it.
"Rock I gotta say though...I think that at least one person will object. So I got my old sword out. Mainly because your not supposed to bring guns into cathedrals." Axl said with a sigh.
"I have a feeling this wedding is gonna be ...well in the least intense." I say.
This continues on and on until finally it's almost time for the ceremony to start. I make my way to the cathedral place where it's being held at. I sit near a few people from work like, Roll , Kalinka , Alia , Sigma , Duo, Blues and a few others. Axl was the best man so he had some other stuff to do before sitting down. Looking around it struck me as odd that they chose a regular orthodox wedding. I honestly thought it would be more bizarre. But it was the same type of romantic atmosphere you see in movies and Tv shows. The wedding started and the proceedings went smooth and all that jazz.
Zero walked down to the aisle looking ridiculously cool in his suit. But today he had an extra cool about him. The priest said his stuff. But all jaws dropped when X came down the isle wearing a white-pale blue wedding dress. Honestly I thought it was a woman until I looked super hard. He was blushing like mad under that veil. I bet everyone else probably talked him into wearing the dress. In short though X was beautiful. The preacher dude started talking again. Honestly I spaced out until they got to the "I do." part. It was then the priest said "If anyone objects this marriage speak now or forever hold your peace." He said.
Suddenly three people shot up from their seats and yelled "OBJECTION." One was Blues, the other was some old lady and the last was Iris. I looked up at X and Zero. Zero was looking directly at Blues and X looked like he was going murder all three of them. Zero looked genuinely confused and he asked out loud "Why?" But before any of them could answer Axl put his two cents in.
"All ya'll better the fuck down on the before the count of two." Axl said calmly as he pulled out the sword he mentioned earlier. Why that was there I have no idea. But did he look cool? Yes. All three sat down quickly. Including Blues who looked like he wanted his round. The priest with an unamused voice cleared his throat and started up again.
"All right if no one objects...you may kiss the erm...Bride...slash...groom" The priest said quickly as he closed his book. X and Zero's kiss was deep and passionate. I could feel the love coming off of that. First song that played was "White Wedding" by Billy Idol. X threw the flower bouquet hard at Blues and iris' faces. Axl and I went to go attack the cake. Which was honestly the best cake I've ever had. To this day. Somehow though X and Zero had started a cake fight. I hid under the table as icing and cake was thrown. Axl sneaked up behind me with a hand full of cake and smashed it into my face. This meant war.
Cake was thrown. Icing got into people's eyes but eventually people calmed that down and the music and dancing was the focus. After chatting it up with some friends and other people. Suddenly I decided to get some air. Balcony time. I sat on the balcony looking off into the distance thinking about the mysteries of life and why is there no end to one piece. Suddenly Axl walked up. "Sup bro, what are you doing out here?" Axl asked.
"chilling" I answered. It was then that I heard "Time after time" come on playing from the inside. The was when Axl spoke.
"Ya know Rock. I've been debating for some weeks now what would happen if I randomly came on to you." Axl said. I felt jitters in that moment.
"Really?" I ask. I can feel my body heat rising.
"So on a scale of 1-10 how freaked out would you be if I just kissed you right here, right now." Axl said. I felt my heart my heart flip around. I feel my face get a bit red.
"Well honestly it would be a -10 because I've been silently asking for this." I splutter out. Before another thought I feel Axl's lips to mine. The whole thing felt like some type of dream sequence. The kisses went on and on until finally we stopped for a breath. Axl looks at me for a while and says "Boyfriends?" I nod and say "Boyfriends." The rest of my night was epic. But far too graphic for me to describe. So I'll just leave that to your imagination.
To be continued.
I gotta credit part of this fanfiction to this black guy I know who helped me come up with this in detention. My nigga.
Peace.
