When Roxas awoke the next day, his head was thumping, threatening to break his skull open. Stretching wide, he rolled over to check the time. Double taking at the clock on his bedside table, he saw that it was eleven in the morning. He had slept through his alarm, twin brother and parents to miss half of the school day . Blinking the sleep from his eyes, Roxas felt unusually numb. Thinking to the events of the day before, he remembered with a heavy heart. He hadn't felt this lonely since before Axel had come to the island. The blonde had had no friends, even his brother was too busy for him. Socially awkward with a penchant to remain silent, nobody really got Roxas. That was until the fiery redhead moved here and stalked the blonde until he finally gave in, becoming the redhead's friend. Shaking those thoughts away, Roxas picked up his phone to see 3 missed calls from Demyx, six missed calls from Zexion, 20 text messages from Demyx and 11 missed phone calls from Axel with one voice mail. Leaving the voice mail for last, the blonde opened the latest text message from Demyx. Roxas had to laugh though at his friend's message.
"Blondie, baby. Answer my calls, I need your sarcastic and dick like personality. I never realised school was this boring. Shit, I think Mr Leonheart sees me using my phone. Fuck, he saw. I'm coming over after school. Love you!"
Checking through the other messages, he soon realised that all of the texts were similar to each other. Nervous, Roxas opened the voice mail from his boyfriend. His stomach doing flips, he waited for the click of the message.
"R-Roxy! Please baby, answer my calls! Axel, you're drunk! Stop calling him! Shut up, Zexy! I'm trying to save my relationship here! *rustling noises and a shriek* Sorry, Roxas! We're going to bed now, see you at school!" The line clicked dead as the voice message stopped recording. The blonde bit his lip, forgetting that of course Demyx would have told Zexion all about yesterday who then would have told Axel. Throwing his phone across the room, Roxas crawled under his bed sheets, quickly falling asleep.
Axel woke in the late morning with a hangover the size of Riku's giant ass. Laughing at his own joke, the redhead winced as the movement caused his headache to worsen. Staring at the ceiling, he felt Zexion's warm body lying next to him in the bed. Feeling the familiar butterflies in his stomach, Axel rushed to the bathroom, nearly missing the sink as he threw up the prior night's alcohol. Panting heavily, the redhead leaned his face against the cool marble of the bathroom counter. He didn't know how everything had gotten so out of hand. Roxas never acted without thinking everything to death so whatever was troubling him was something serious. Axel looked up as he heard the shuffling of feet. Zexion appeared in the doorway, still half asleep. "We going to school?" The blue haired boy, questioned , rubbing his eyes. "May as well right?" Axel said, glumly.
Arriving at school, Axel and Zexion headed straight for the freshmen building. They decided they would wait for Roxas at his locker. But walking down the hallway, they noticed someone already had the same idea. Seifer was leaning against a locker, waiting for Roxas to come out of class. The redhead's pace quickened until he reached the blonde who smugly smirked. Suddenly, Axel's fist swung out and struck Seifer, cracking his hand against the blonde's cheek. "What the fuck, Axel?" Seifer spat, trying to pick himself up off the floor. "No, you get to fucking stay down. You don't come near Roxas, ever. I'm sick of you skulking around trying to pick him up. He's MINE." Axel snarled, kicking the boy in the ribs a couple of times. "Axel, let's go." Zexion said, watching as a group of students began to gather around them. Glancing up, Axel noticed the beginnings of the mob. Cursing, the redhead ceased kicking the blonde and left with Zexion.
Class seemed to drag by uneventfully, when Axel snapped. Screeching his chair backwards, the redhead picked his bag up and ran out the door screaming something about saving his marriage. His blue haired friend, shook his head and went back to writing notes from the class. "Is Axel losing it?" Riku questioned Zexion. The silent boy peered over his black rimmed glasses at the silver haired boy. "I think he might be..." The blue haired boy murmured.
Roxas awoke for the second time that day to obnoxious loud banging at his front door. Yawning, the blonde pulled himself out of his tangled sheets, shambling down the stairs to answer the door. Axel couldn't help but bang his fists furiously against the silent door. When he went to crash his hands against the buckling white door again, he found the door had opened to reveal Roxas. The blonde looked like shit, he was wearing his outfit from the day before, his deep cobalt blue eyes rimmed by reddened skin, his skin puffy and worn out. Clearly, he'd cried himself to sleep. "What do you want?" Roxas asked, softly. Taking in the sight of his redheaded boyfriend, the blonde realised that Axel's eyes were as red and worn out as his own, his usual mane of spikes hung limply around his face, the extravagant eyeliner missing from his cat like green eyes.
Axel flung himself against his boyfriend, wrapping his arms around the blonde tightly. Ending up on the floor, winded by the assault, Roxas wiped a tear away from the redhead's cheek. "Why are you cheating on me?" Roxas asked, his voice breaking several times during the question. Axel shook his head furiously, snuggling his face into the smaller boy's chest. "Roxy, I'm useless without you. I don't even look at anyone but you. I dream about you and only you. You're my every thought, even in class when I should be working. Even when I'm talking to you now, I'm thinking about you. R-Roxas, I love you." The redhead whimpered, trying to hide the onslaught of tears in the blonde's crumpled clothes. Roxas cleared his throat, attempting to breathe through the emotions that were choking him. "I saw you in the seniors building. Kissing that stupid Aerith bitch. I watched as you ground your hips against her." The blonde whispered, trying not to dwell on the painful memory. "Roxas, why would I bother with Aerith? She's nothing like you and even if I am bisexual doesn't make me a cheater." Axel stated, his voice flaring in anger.
The blonde pushed his boyfriend off, pulling himself away from his arms. "Get out, Axel. I don't want to hear your lies anymore." Roxas sighed, scooting back a bit. Axel sat quietly before looking at Roxas. "So, you're going to date Seifer now?" The redhead asked, somewhat calmly. The blonde furrowed his brow, confused. "Where'd you get that idea?" Roxas asked. Axel gave a shaky breath, "Well we're breaking up right? I'm a cheater and you told me to get out. Besides, I saw how you clung to him yesterday." The redhead replied. Pausing, the blonde couldn't really put his thoughts together. "Sure, Axel. Whatever you say. Please don't call anymore." Roxas whispered, trying to shut the door on his now ex boyfriend. "But, I don't want to." Axel murmured as the door slammed in his face. Clutching the door like a life line, the redhead whispered, "I'll wait for you." before leaving.
Roxas heard the soft whisper behind the door and fell to his knees crying again. It would be okay, he assured himself. He had spent most of his life alone anyways, now that Axel was gone, he could get back to being by him. He wouldn't let this destroy him.
