"Oh, yea...the game"
Roxas thought depressingly,right about now all he wanted was to curl in bed and sleep. He took out his phone and checked the time.
"4:30,huh? I've got 2 hours and 30 minutes to kill"
Roxas also saw the little letter on the top of his phone,signaling that he had a text message. He looked at the screen,the number was unknown.
"Hey..Roxas. It's me Xion,I was just wondering if before the game. You wanted me to come over and help you unpack. Response if this is you :D"
Roxas replied with a "Sure,why not". At that moment there was a knock at the door-way of the dorm room,he stood up and answered the it.
He heard the voice of the headmaster Xenams
"Ah,Mr. Strife. I'm glad you found you dorm room, I was informed about your head injury and will personal make sure your teachers know. Also I have your items from home,I shall leave them right here and you can unpack now." The Headmaster said and then departed.
"Roxas,let me help with those"Xion said and skipped down the hallway towards him.
"Thanks"Roxas relied and they began carrying in boxes,suitcases,etc.
Roxas put his clothes in the closet,then sat on the floor with Xion to unpack the first box. Its contains
were Cd's,Sheet music,his binder full of playbills and posters. Xion took out the binder first, "Wow,you have been to a lot of shows" She said flipping thru the pages.
"Yes, I used to live in New York City."he said sadly,he noticed that Xion was giving me a pity look.
"What happened?"She asked him setting down the binder when a picture fell out, "Hey,Roxas who is"She stopped mid-sentence. It was a picture of Roxas and his first boyfriend Denzel,its showed them kissing.
Roxas snatched the picture out of her hand. Looking at the picture himself,he noted how happy he looked that night. He hasn't been that happy in a while,Axel was beautiful and sweet but Roxas was sure if Axel was into guys or not.
"Roxas..are you...ummm"She looked away and blushed
"Yes,I'm gay."Roxas didn't dare look at Xion,in his mind he saw her get up,look at him in disgust and left him sitting there.
Instead he was surprised when Xion embraced him,Roxas had to fight back the urge to cry. No one had ever excepted him except for his brother and Denzel. He pulled back and saw her smiling at him.
"So,met any guys here that have caught your eye?"She joked with him. Roxas decided to tell her about his "crush" on Axel. She was he was gesturing towards his notebook. Xion stretched over and grabbed it off the night stand,she looked at the drawing of Axel.
"oh...no Roxas"
Roxas looked up at her in confusion "What?". Now Roxas knew for certain that he had made the wrong choice.
"No,that's not what I mean"She started "The thing is,I've never seen Axel into anyone...boy or girl."
"oh"Roxas said unpacking and putting his Cd's on the provided selves. It was too quiet in the room so Roxas turned on the Cd he had gotten in Norway
"Lind,Nilson,Fuentes,Holm",the greatest singers in had heard in many years.
He checked his phone once again.
"6:30"
"Xion its 6:30 we should head over to the field now"He said,zipping up Axel's jacket and locking the door.

Axel fell down on the grass laughing with Demyx, "oh man!,Axel..bro that was nasty"
"Yuffie had it coming,she a hoe".Axel said throwing some gang signs. He and Demyx erupted with more laughter when Yuffie walked by,she then proceeded to dump her Gatorade all over them "Sexist!" She screamed at them,walking away.
"Okay,bro...admit it you want a piece of that"Demyx questioned Axel helping him up.
"She's cute man,but I don't think so"Axel said,rubbing the back of his head. In his mind he remember what he did in Roxas's name. Axel became lost in day-dream, "Hey, Ax. Time to go into the locker room" Demyx said pulling Axel out of his day-dream.
"Yea,right" Axel ran in the locker room to get the usage pre-game pep talk.
"Alrighty kiddos,if you win tonight there is a chance you asses might get laid" Coach Cid cheered
"The locker room smells funny"
Even though Axel was the captain of the soccer time, Coach Cid`s "pep talk" consisted of him saying vulgar things to psych the guys up.
"Alright,ladies! LETSS GOO!" Cid Screamed
"YEA!" The guys cheered along with him
They heard the Band start up,his brother Reno was the drum major.
The began to chant "Ho! Ho! HO! HOOO!"

"Running on the field is like,being a rock star. Everybody is watching you,wanting you or wanting to be you"

They busted out onto the field and the crowd was roaring with applause,this is what Axel lived for.
Roxas clapped when he saw Axel,a small smile creep on Roxas's face.
Xion saw this and said "You've got it back,honey" He looked at her and she winked at him.
He shook his head and sat down to watch the game.
It was fast-paced and beautiful. Sorta like the Russian Ballet that Roxas had seen with his mother,he could hear the orchestra in the back ground. Axel was flying across the stage,the ball behind his feet. The faster he ran the quicker the tempo of the music would go.
"GOAL!" the music will swell and then slowly die out,leaving the hero alone. In the single spot light.
Suddenly the music kicks back in,its dark and deep. The other side of the field gains control,but our team fights back. Most of the ballet will be like this.
The team fighting for control,the music twisting and bending to the will of its dancers.
All the lights go out,the music stop.
Roxas is torn from his day-dream,when the speaker announced
"Alrighyyyy,folks. Welcome our BAND!"
Roxas gasped when he saw the drum major. "Axel?"He questioned
"Roxas...Its Reno. Keep it in your pants" His brother Cloud said coming to sit behind him,with the boy Zack from earlier in the day.
Roxas mouth fell wide open,he had told Cloud about his crush but he didn't think he would go that far.
Cloud messed with Roxas's hair and winked "Don't worry,little brother. Your secret is save with me"
"Whatever" He said and turned back to the field.
"Axel might not like guys,but I'm pretty certain Reno is. Plus they look alike"
Roxas was dwelling on this when Xion grabbed his hand "Come on,were getting some ice cream" she said smiling.
They walked to the ice cream stand, "2 please" Xion ordered. Roxas looked around for a grassy place to sit. When he sat,something fall out of his pocket.
"what?"He said and picked it up,it was the packet of cigarettes he had taken from Axel.
Roxas took out the lighter he had also taken and lit one. Smoking from it. He liked the its flavor,kinda of musty but a cool sensation.
"Roxas,you smoke too...Gosh! There is so much to learn about you" Xion smile and handed him an ice cream. Roxas had never seem an ice cream that looked like this,its was blue and had a salty-sweet smell to it. It tasted just as it smelled "This is...good" He said surprised
"mmhmm, Its made with sea-salt" She said
"Half-time is over..hurry and start making your way back to the field"
"Ready,Roxas?"Xion asked.
"Sure"
Roxas and Xion made there way back to there spots. Reno had left the band and was seating next to his brother. "Hey,Roxy"Reno said and smiled.
Roxas blushed "He is cute"
"Don't you have a band to conduct?"Xion asked
"Nahhh,we don't do much after half time. Plus I'm looking for Rude" Reno said,jumping up to look around.
Roxas sat down to finish his ballet.
The second-half was pretty much the same,our team won the game. Everybody was cheering and Reno led Roxas and rest of the group down to were the players would show up after the game.
Roxas couldn't wait to see Axel's face

"Axel,man that was the best you ever played"Hayner said,slapping him on the back

"Trying to impress Yuffie"Demyx asked him

"I don't"Axel began

"Dude, you two are like perfect for each other" Tseng said from the other side of the locker room.

"I" Axel tried to said

"Alright, I give it a week before he caves and try's to bang her" Seifer said,getting into the conversation.

"Hey! Axel doesn't have to like Yuffie or a girl for that matter" Riku said coming to defend Axel,just as a good friend should do.

"Riku we all know you're gay,Sora is cool too...buttt Axel is just to manly to want a dick"Seifer said laughing with Tseng

"I'm leaving!"Axel said slamming his locker door. He was so mad he didn't realize when an ice cream bar was shoved in his face.

"Hey,bro...looks like you need one." Reno said handing it to him.

"Che" Was all Axel said and then lit a cigarette.

"Fine,Roxas you can have it"Reno said,when a dark-skinned man that looked to old to be in high school came up behind Reno.

"Check ya` later"Reno said,saluting them.

"HEY! Xion!, were going to the cafe..come on!"Kairi called standing with Marluxia,Namine and Larxene.

"I'll see you guys later okay" Then she leaned into Roxas and whispered "Good luck",making Roxas blush.

Axel and Roxas started walking back to their dorm room. It was a comfortable almost relaxing silence,but Axel was rest after the game and needed to talk.

"Sooooo,you and Xion...that's ummm...interesting"Axel said rubbing the back of his head.

"Huh!...what?...no,no!"Roxas said sorta shocked "why..what would make you think that?"

Now it was Axel's turn to be confused,he didn't understand why that had offended Roxas. They had looked together and happy.

"You two just looked like"Axel didn't really know how to put it

"I couldn't be with her"Roxas said not looking at Axel

Roxas leaned against the wall by the door to their dorm room.

"How did we get here so fast" Axel thought looking at Roxas,he had that sad small childish look on his face again.

Axel wanted nothing more in that moment,but to wipe that look off of Roxas's face.

"How had he become this sad?" Axel thought,Axel wanted to know everything about Roxas. Wanted to

be close to him. Roxas was opening his mouth to speak because Axel noticed that he had been staring at Roxas this whole time.

"What about you and Yuffie"Roxas finally said

Axel groaned "Why does everyone think that"

"I don't know,because you two are perfect for each other"Roxas said twirling his hair and rolling his eyes.

"Then I guess I should go for her,huh?"Axel yelled,closing the space between him and Roxas. Now,Roxas was pinned against the wall

"Axel? What are you doing?" Roxas said, Axel could hear a shiver of fear but mostly excitement.

"I mean,why wouldn't "big man on campus" want "hottest girl on campus" Roxas said. Axel looked at Roxas and for the first time that night,Roxas didn't away look. However Axel didn't like the look in Roxas's eyes they were screaming.

"I'm protecting myself...I need to close him out"

"No answer"Roxas said and went under Axel's arm "Tomorrow morning,if your looking for me. I'll be at Masque theater." Roxas said entering the dorm room

As soon as Roxas was inside,he ran into the bed room. Picked up all the things Xion and him had left,then went straight to bed. He heard Axel come in the door and go take a shower,Roxas curled himself into a ball. Holding onto Axel's jacket for dear life

"He didn't notice I was wearing it"

Roxas could feel himself crying

"I had to shut him out...its better this way"

Before falling asleep,he heard Axel come into the bedroom,turn the lamp off and get into bed.

"I hate myself"

They simultaneously thought before falling asleep.
