OH LOOK I'M ALIVE!
Holy heart shaped moons you guises. I'm so sorry for not updating this sooner. Between life, not having the drive and my roleplay Tumblr [ablondewithakeyblade is Roxas] I haven't really been up to updating.
But I was thinking, if I can write on Tumblr, why not write here? For my lovelies that read this!
There's not alot that goes on this chapter. It's kinda of a.. building chapter? I guess you would call. There's a few things that are revealed and brought up and, yeah.
So I will hush and let you all read! 3
Axel led the blonde to their hotel door. Using the pass key, he unlocked the door. "Guys! I'm home! And I brought a friend."
"Is it that blonde kid you've been hanging with?" The redhead rolled his eyes and he motioned for Roxas to follow him to the living room.
"It is the blonde kid." Luxord said looking up from his England newspaper.
"Yes it is." Axel looked at the blonde "Roxas this is Luxord, he's a drummer."
The older blonde nodded, "Pleasure to meet you. Try to keep 'em outta trouble, hear?" he said with a chuckle.
"I'll see what I can do with him." Roxas said laughing.
"I'ma go to Demyx, he's in his room right?" the singer asked the British man who nodded. He turned to Roxas, "Make yourself at home." he told him before turning and walking into Dem's bedroom.
As usual, he was sitting by the window, headphones over his ears. The redhead stopped in front of his younger brother and waved his hand before him to get his attention. He blinked for a minute then slid the headphones around his neck, waiting for Axel to talk, "I brought a friend." the lead singer said with a grin.
"The blonde?" he asked.
"Yep. Now come on and be hospitable!" the redhead said with a grin, "Or at least I think that's the word anyway.."
Demyx gave him a half smile and followed his older brother into the living room where an argument was in place.
"You've got to be kidding! No way is Hamlet better than Macbeth."
"Please, Hamlet had much better structure and drama to it. You could feel Hamlet's pain and need for revenge. Not to mention Ophelia's love for him!"
"That was nothing compared to Macbeth's power. Don't get me started on Lady Macbeth!"
'What the hell..?' Axel thought looking at the two blondes. They glared at each other before the older of the two grinned, "You're alright." he said.
Roxas nodded to him, "As are you. No one can hate a man who knows his Shakespeare." He tunred to face the redhead with a smile, "Hey, you're Demyx, right?" he questioned waving at the guitarist.
Demyx nodded and held his hand out, "You're.. Roxas?"
"Yep." he stared at his hair for a moment as he took the other blonde's hand, "Seriously though, how do you get your hair to stay like that. I know mine's a pain, but that must take forver."
Axel glanced at his little brother who cracked a smile, "It does take forever. You have to make sure you get the spikiness even."
"I have the same problem!" Roxas stated as the two blondes began walking towards the couch.
'How about that?' the redhead thought leaning his hip against the table Luxord was sitting at. He watched as the blonde talked to his brother, and him talk back. Smiling, he could see parts of the old Demyx beginning to shin through.
"That's some kid you've found." Luxord stayed not looking up from his newspaper. "Maybe he could do you all some good." he said before standing up with his cup, probably to get himself another cup of tea. The singer walked to the living room where Demyx and Roxas were talking animatedly about something he couldn't hear. It wasn't till he grew closer that he heard the conversation.
"There is no way Digimon is better than Pokemon." He heard Demyx stated.
"How could it not be? I mean really. It's their Digital Monsters. They could reach their highest level then go back to their first form and do it all over again! Could Pokemon do that? I think not." Roxas argued.
"If it was so great then why didn't go on for more seasons?" Demyx refuted.
"It did go on for more seasons, but people want things that they've seen before, so that the only reason Pokemon went in for as many seasons as it has."
Axel blinked and stared at the both of them, "Are you two seriously sitting her arguing about Pokemon and Digimon?"
The blondes looked at each other, then back to the redhead, "Yep."
"That's about as bad as the Bakugan vs Yu-Gi-Oh battle we hear every time the former show is mentioned anywhere." another voice stated, this one softer. Looking over his shoulder, the redhead saw Marluxia walking towards the kitchen.
"Please, Bakugan is a total rip off of Yu-Gi-Oh." Roxas said with a roll of his eyes.
"Thank you! Finally someone understands!" Demyx said and did something Axel hadn't seen in a year and a half.
Demyx smiled.
'Just who are you Roxas?' the singer wondered looking at the kid before him.
"There is no way you beat me!"
"Do you not see the score?"
"No.. this is- I- How did this happen?"
Roxas let out a laugh and looked at the defeated pinkette that now was sitting on the couch. The two of them had been locked in a Just Dance 2 battle for almost an hour. Marluxia had claimed he was the king of Just Dance and the blonde sought to prove him wrong, which he just did. He loosened the Wii controller from his wrist and sat it on table, "It's okey. There's just a new king." he said grinning.
"But you beat him on It's Raining Men! That's.. like Marly's theme!" Demyx said still staring at the screen.
"Axel, where the bloody hell did you find this kid?" Luxord asked with a chuckle. The older man had looked away from his reading to watch the two battle it out.
"The same place the rest of us did, at that concert." The redhead said grinning.
'He has a rather nice grin..' The blonde found himself thinking but shook the thought from his head. 'Shush, Roxas.' he told himself before looking back to the group, "So is this what you guises do all day?"
"Pretty much." Axel said plopping down beside him, "When we don't have a concert or interviews, it's just basically chilling and annoying each other."
"Well, that's kinda boring."
"Says the guy that studies all the time."
"Hey, I don't study all the time. There's eating, and sleeping and-" He laughed as the singer poked him in the side.
"What're you studying?" Demyx asked looking at the younger blonde upside down from his spot on the floor.
"General education, literature and psychology. Though psychology's-" His eyes widened and he muttered a curse.
"What's wrong?" Axel asked, concern written across his face.
Roxas pulled out his phone to look at the date and his eyes widen, "My psych paper is due tomorrow. The teacher pushed the date back cause of family reasons! I meant to be working on it, but it totally slipped my mind!" the blonde began to look for his shoes and coat that he took of sometime during the dance battle. "I'm not even half way done with it!" 'ShitShitShit!' he thought.
"Come on, I'll give you a ride to your apartment. With how much your spazzing you'll probably walk into traffic or something." Axel said with a smirk handing him his coat as the blonde slipped on his shoes.
"Sorry for just running off like this guys." Roxas told everybody, "We'll have to do this again sometime."
"Damn right, we've got a rematch next time!" Marluxia said with a small smile.
The blonde smiled at them all before waving as Axel opened the door for him. "I can't believe I forgot about that stupid paper.." he muttered as they made their way down to the lobby. Axel talked to the receptionist and soon they were sitting in a red Ferrari, "Sora would have a fit f he saw me in this car." At the raised eyebrow from the redhead, he said, "He has a thing for fast cars."
"I wouldn't want to be in a car with that giant ball of energy." Axel said shaking his head.
"Neither do I." They both shared a laugh and grew quiet, the only sound was the blonde telling the singer what turns to take. Once they were outside of his apartment, Roxas smiled, "Thanks for the ride." He opened the door and begun to walk away, but stopped as he heard his name being called.
"Don't stress so much. You're gonna do fine on your paper. I know it." He said with a smile, not a grin or a smirk, but a smile.
Ignoring the skip in his heartbeat, he smiled back, "Thanks." Before he could make a fool of himself, he quickly made his way to his apartment. Thankfully, Sora wasn't home. 'Probably out to dinner with Riku.' he thought and walked to the stereo to put in his Marina's Trench CD in.
"This place is a hole, and I don't want to go. I wish we could stay here forever alone. This time that we waste, but i still love your taste. Don't let him take my place, don't just sit there. Sometimes I wish you would leave me. Well I'm not sick of you yet, is this as good as it gets, I'll just say it, or i could slip into you, Its so easy to come back into you."
He let the lyrics wash over him as he picked up his laptop from the table and began to work on the rest of the paper. For some reason, the words following a lot easier then they normally do. Of course it wasn't because of the redhead's encouragement, of course not. Even as thoughts flooded his mind of things he needed to get done, he found himself calming at remembering that smile.
A buzzing met his ears and he slipped his phone from his pocket seeing Sora's face across his screen, "What'cha need Sora?"
"Me and Riku are about to leave Bojangles and I wondering if you wanted me to bring you something home."
"Uh, yeah. A grilled chicken sandwich, fries and a Pepsi please?" He walked over to the stereo to change CDs, the other already having played through. "Oh and don't-"
"Forget your extra seasoning." Sora laughed, "I know you bro."
"Thanks Sora." The two said their goodbyes and Roxas looked through his CDs, before picking one at random. The piano version of In The End began to blast through the speakers and the blonde hummed along to every word as he finished up the last of the paper.
Sora came in not too long after that and dropped a bag on his laptop with a grin, "Your dinner is served!" He said shedding himself of his coat and throwing it on the chair.
Suppressing a glare at having the food dropped on his child (Yes, his laptop is his child. Don't ask.), "Yummy." He said, before sitting his laptop on the table and digging into his dinner. Sora had turned off the stereo and turned the TV on, flipping through the channels.
"So what did you do all day?" the brunette asked stopping on Zoey 101 and watching it.
"Nothing really. Hung out at the park, got a bit of studying done and finished my psych paper." Roxas decided it be best not to tell his brother that he had hung out with his favorite band all day. That news had be broken to him gently. And with a plate full of cookies in his face.
"You're so boring, Rox! You need to do more!"
The blonde let out a laugh at just hearing similar words, "I'll see what I can do about it." He picked up his laptop and stood, "I'm going to go head to bed. I've gotta to actually be up tomorrow for class." He said heading for his room.
"Are you going to stop for coffee, or should get the coffee pot ready for ya?" Sora asked looking away from the TV.
"You know me so well brother." Roxas smiled, "Fix the pot for me?" At his nod, the blonde bid him a goodnight as he walked in his room, closing the door behind him. Hooking the laptop to his charger, he sat it on his desk, loaded the music player and pressed play.
Panic! At the Disco began playing from the device as he changed into a pair of gray sweatpants and an old t-shirt stolen from Cloud. As he walked to the bed, he set his alarm on his phone and fell back on his bed with a sigh, 'I really don't want to go to class tomorrow..' There was a buzzing and Roxas picked up his phone, seeing he had a text message.
'Bleh, we've got an interview to do in the morning. Gotta get to sleep. Night blondie!' Roxas laughed and shook his he as he pressed a few buttons to reply.
'Night yourself, I've got class in the morning. We should hang out afterward. =)' That replied to, he tossed the phone on the night stand out of his reach, curled up in bed and drifted off to sleep, 'I've gotta tell him tomorrow not to call me blondie.' Roxas thought with a smile, drifting off to sleep.
"Why did that interview have to be so early in the morning?" Axel muttered as the walked out of the building. He winced at the brightness despite the sunglasses over his emerald eyes.
"Ax, it isn't even noon yet. That's not early." Marluxia commented, taking a drink from his water bottle.
"Too earlier for me." the redhead muttered, fishing a cigarette from the pack in his pocket and lighting, ignoring Luxord's glare as always.
"I'm kinda hungry.." Demyx said, hand on his stomach.
The group looked at him a bit in shook. It had been a while since the blonde had spoken without someone speaking to him first. Axel smiled as Marluxia nudged him with a smile of his own, "Let's go grab some lunch then." he said.
Buzzing against his leg had Axel fishing his phone out of his pocket as he took a deep drag of the cigarette and let out. Unlocking the phone, he read the message with a smirk, 'Save me from pysch. This damn sub doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.' He slid his phone back in his pocket, "You guises will have to go without me. I have a blond to go save." He grinned at them before beginning to walk away.
He stopped a small ways away, realizing he had know idea where the collage was. So, he tapped a man in a business suit on the shoulder, "Hey, do know where the collage is?" he asked.
Putting his phone to his shoulder, he pointed off in right direction, "Yeah, it's about a block that way. It's right in the middle of town, you can't miss it." he answered before going back to his phone conversation and walking away. Nodding, Axel made his way to the school.
The man hadn't been lying, it was right in the middle of time. You'd have to be blind to miss it. He walked forward to the smaller of the buildings that had 'Administration' on a sign outside of it. 'This should be the right place to start.' he thought with a shrug before waltzing in and up to the front desk where a young dark skinned woman was.
"Yes, can I help you?" she asked in a soft tone.
"Yes, I'm looking to pull a friend out of class at request of his brother. Something came up at their house and he wasn't able to come himself, or call for that matter. So he sent be since I was close by." Axel lied through his teeth with a bright smile.
"Do you happen to know what class he is in?"
"He's in psychology moment, his name is Roxas."
"Oh Roxas." she gave a smile, "He'll be in the building to your left when you walk outside. It's the door at the very end of the hall." She handed him a slip of paper, "Just hand this to the professor and you can get him." Axel gave a small tilt to his head, wondering how the woman knew the blonde and why he was the one going to get him as he took the piece of paper. "I would call there, but the professor has a habit of not answering, plus I believe there's a temp in. Go on." She said shooing him away with a smile.
Axel gave a tilt of head in a nod before following the woman's directions to the classroom. He knocked and at the call of a, "Yes, yes. Come in." He turned the knob and walked in to the older man standing before the class. The room your basic collage set up, but a bit smaller than most. Handing the note to the man, he looked around to look for Roxas.
The blonde was sitting by the large bay of windows looking rather bored out them. His pencil tapped to the music he was listening to (if the ear buds and small bob of his head was anything) as he was obvious to him even being there. "Roxas!" the man called. There was no answer, "Roxas!" he called a bit louder. A classmate his the blonde's arm, and he turned to him with a glare before looking down to the front where his eyes widen.
"Yeah?"
"There seems to be a problem at home, you are dismissed." he said waving the blonde out the door, seeming pissed that he had been listening to music during his lecture (or rather the fact that he was being ignored could have done it too.).
Nodding, Roxas picked up his book and notebook, slid them into his messenger bag which he put on his shoulder. He picked up his iPod and made his way towards the front. In passing, he grabbed the front of Axel's hoodie and dragged the redhead behind him as they made their way out the door. Once fully outside the building, he rounded on the singer, "What the hell are you doing here?"
Axel shrugged, "You told me to come save you. So I did."
"I did mean for you to- what did you tell admin anyway?" Roxas asked as they continued to the side walk.
"That Sora told me to come out here and get you cause something happened at home and he wasn't able to get up with you." he answered, taking out a cigarette.
"You lied to Ms. DJ and you're not smoking those around me." he stated reaching up and taking the cigarette from his lips, sitting it in and outside pocket of his bag.
The singer just stare at the blonde for a moment, "Yes I did lie to her and you just took my cigarette."
"I did." Roxas nodded then stuffed his hands in his jacket's pocket, "So I'm out of class now, what do you want to do?" he questioned.
"Why not some more of those awesome burgers from before?" Axel asked with a grin, "Do they have more than that there?" At the blonde's nod, Axel linked arms with him, "To the food then!" His grin brighten at the sound of Roxas laughter as they walked. 'Maybe it was worth getting up so early..'
There we have it! The newest chapter of ABT! Hope you guises enjoyed it! -grins-
I'm sorry Axel's last part was kinda short, I needed somewhere to cut it, and that was the best (I though anyway).
So! Tell me what everybody thought of it~ I tried to read through for errors, but you know how that goes.
Later guises! -two finger salute-
