Chapter 2: A Friend In Need

"Okay, I've had it. You're going to tell me what's got you panties in a knot right now, Marluxia." The tall redhead said slamming his locker closed. Ever since he caught up with his friend in-between classes, he's noticed his best friend was in one hell of a mood. The kind that he only got into when the school didn't serve his favorite kind of soda for lunch. Or when it was raining and he didn't have an umbrella and his hair made him look like a drowned rat. Or… "You have someone you wanna jump, don't you?"

"What, that's insane!" Blue eyes narrowed in his direction. With a sigh Marluxia closed his locker and leaned on it. "I don't know what's wrong with me, Axe. I saw this guy-"

"And he wanted to date you but he is just like all the other guys you've dated," He said, interrupting him. "You have a problem. Maybe you're just a glutton for punishment." Soon after, Axel's face got acquainted with one of Marluxia's shoes.

"Will you listen before you go off on one of you musings?" he pulled his shoe from the other's face and slipped it back on. "It's just the guy I saw was… I don't know. He wasn't like everyone else. He was really cool. And I went over to talk to him and see if he wanted me to help him find his class and he…"

His friend looked to him, nursing a red nose but listening intently.

Marluxia coughed as he managed to choke out the last few words in such a low voice Axel barely heard him. "He turned me down…"

Axel looked at the pinkette for a good few seconds. He set his hands on Marluxia's shoulders and made him look to him. The other merely blinked in surprise by the sudden action. "Marly, I do this because you're my friend and I respect and love you as much as can."

"What's this guy talking about? He better not be confessing… I hope." "Okay…?"

"Marluxia…" In 2 seconds flat, Axel was on his back, rolling around on the floor, laughing. He kicked and hit his right hand repeatedly on the ground as his left was holding his sides together for dear life. "Y-You FINALLY got rejected? I-I guess not everyone falls under your charms!"

Marluxia watched him for a few seconds. There was his best friend, laughing his ass off at him. "Axel… You go to hell!" He kicked every available spot on the lower half of the redhead's unprotected persona. Here I am, pouring my heart out and you have the BALLS to LAUGH! I'll make sure you don't have any left!"

"GAH! OKAY, OKAY!" The smile was wiped from his face as he stood. "So much for fun. You're a real ball buster, Marluxia. I feel sorry for whoever YOU end up with."

This earned him a glare and a view of Marluxia's tongue. "Only to you, you ass. Now, really. I told you that-" He stopped mid-sentence gain and looked over Axel's shoulder. "Oh my gawd, there he is, Axel."

Axel looked over his shoulder to get a look at this person that had his friend so uptight. Said blond was digging in his locker and grabbing whatever he needed before re-closing it and heading past the two of them. He was too absorbed in his ear buds to even notice the two staring at him.

"Wow… I can see why you like him. He must be new. I have never seen him before. He's… really cool."

Marluxia looked back at Axel. His face had "Well, No shit, Sherlock" written all over it while his eyes said "Touch him, you die." "Yeah, that's what I've been telling you. I can't help it he's just…" He sighed as he looked to him.

Axel looked to him and grinned. "Oh, I get what's going on." He grabbed his bag and walked on.

Completely lost, Marluxia looked up as Axel walked past him. "What? What do you mean?"

With a Cheshire grin, the redhead walked backwards and looked to his shadow. "You want him. But he rejected you. Now you want him even more. You're actually human, Marly." He chuckled as he twirled on his heel and walked on.

Dumbstruck, blue eyes followed the other as he thought. "That's impossible." He walked beside him. "What makes you think that?"

Axel chuckled as he looked to him. "Humans want what they can't have. You wanted a challenge. Challenge comes up in the form of an unwilling lover. He says no to you and you want him even more. Face it Marluxia, you're in love." He pulled out his mini-recorder "idea for story-"

"Redheaded author gets foot stuck in ass for being an idealists. Okay, I'll grant you MAYBE I want to sleep with him but I'm not going to be in love with a guy that shuts me down. Watch, after a week he'll be putty in my hands." He chuckled softly and flipped his hair as he walked past Axel. "Here's an idea for a story; most popular guy in school breaks down new student after 3 days."

Axel chuckled. "Three days? You have that much confidence in your looks?" Green eyes watch as the pinkette walked on without listening to a word he said. "Fine, you pull it off, you have my lunch money for a week."

"I already have you paying my food. I won't WANT to bet anyway. I just want to prove I'm right." Marluxia looked to him and winked. "How bad can it be?"
