Yay! number 2! this chapter follows Axel around...thinking about switching from Roxas to Axel and back again, what do ya think?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Axel watched in amusement as Ms. Lockhart glared daggers into the eight students who filed in five minutes late again. Roxas was shrinking in his seat as their teacher gave him very special glares, which made Axel smirk. The blonde in question looked up at him and his amusement instantly died when he saw the look in those blue eyes. Not good…that look…I'm dead! The red head thought in panic and begged silently for it to not be too bad at lunch. Roxas raised his hand at something Ms. Lockhart had said.

"I think Axel would like this ma'am."

"Good suggestion Roxas, Axel get up here." She growled and pointed to the board.

He stood and stepped cautiously forward, unsure of what he was doing, curse his spacing out. He stood at the front of the room just staring at the board for a good five minutes before anyone said anything.

"Mr. Favre please tell me you know why you're up here." Tifa stated and tapped her fingers against the desk and sighed when the only answer she got was silence. "Go sit…I don't know why I bother with you kids anymore. Just talk quietly till the bell rings."

Axel skipped happily back to his seat and sat looking at Roxas. "Roxie that was mean! You knew I was spacing out."

"Yes while looking at me, it was creeping me out."

"Well all our friends have some sort of quirk, I mean Zexion reads books thicker than my head, Demyx is always full of energy and they are best friends. Marluxia, I swear, is gay and he still sleeps with Larxene every damn month like she's some sort of hottie. Larxene is scary as hell. Hayner, Pence, and Olette are by far the most normal aside from the fact that Hayner is still in the closet and wants Seifer and Pence pines after Olette. Your mother is a lesbian and her girlfriend is your teacher, your twin and younger sister are probably the most popular kids in school. I am confused about my feelings for my best friend and he won't even admit we are best friends!" Axel stopped his rant after that and his emerald eyes widened, he did not just say what he thought and he did not just yell that to the entire class.

From the looks on everyone's faces he had not just put his friends in a box but also admitted to being attracted to Roxas and being confused at the same time. He was in trouble and he knew it, not only with Roxas but with everyone else in their group. The blonde next to him stayed silent looking at his notebook and biting his lower lip, something he commonly does when thinking. The rest looked about to kill him. The only sound was of Ms. Lockhart laughing at him, some teacher she was. The bell finally rang and Axel was the first to leave just wanting to forget everything. His next class was science he only had Zexion in that class, he should be ok if no one stops him between his locker and the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Luck was on his side for once, everyone was avoiding him like the plague. His lab partner, Zexion, just watched him as he sat down. Shortly after he sat, a piece of paper was in front of him with the neat writing of Zexion.

So your rant in homeroom not something you meant to happen so loud am I right?

Yeah I'm so sorry Zexion! I didn't mean anything mean by it.

I don't mind it, I want to know if you meant for Roxas to know you like him

Of course not, I didn't want anyone to know

Well I have it on good authority that he is bi, though if you are his best friend as you claim you should already know this

He's BI!? What!? How do you know did he tell you???

Yes he did, he told both Demyx and I and wanted to know how we got over the shock of being openly gay

Wait…you and Demyx are gay too?

…you really are slow we'll talk later at home

Later…he had to wait till later to find out why his cousin knew Roxie was bi, his Roxie. Zexion ignored Axel the rest of class no matter how often he tried to get a conversation started. The bell rang after another thousand futile attempts at attention grabbing which meant math, with Marluxia and Larxene, he was dead. Beyond dead no one would be able to find his body when they were through with him, and if it was found they wouldn't be able to ID him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He walked into the classroom reciting his will to himself and noticed neither Larxene nor Marluxia were in there. Maybe they would skip class again and he'd be a free man! He moved to his seat and leaned back looking at the ceiling not paying attention to the two people he feared the most at the moment.

"Oh look Larxy he came to class."

"Aww what a surprise Marly…should we torture him now or make him wait?"

Those voices snapped Axel back to reality as he looked ahead to see the blonde and pink haired duo. "Uh hey guys…" he said sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head, "What's up?"

"Oh definitely make him wait, this will be a fun period for once."

"I really didn't mean anything I said about you guys! I was just musing aloud for Roxas."

"Oh yes, your lover boy who doesn't even know your best friends, it's only been two periods since then…Do you think he's forgotten by now? I mean last period he was still thinking and let his appearance slip. I mean ignoring a teacher? So unlike our Roxas." Larxene smiled sweetly and sat behind Axel.

"Don't you mean Axels Roxas? Oh wait…no he doesn't even have claim as his best friend." Marluxia added and sat next to him.

"He is my Roxie…he just doesn't know it yet." Axel replied and put his head down, praying for the teacher to hurry.

"Hey Axel," a new voice said making him look up, "Is it really that hard to see me and Zexy as best friends?"

He had forgotten Demyx was in this class with him and the demonic duo. The fourth blonde of his group sat down and tilted his head cutely to the side. Axel groaned and ran his hand through his hair attempting to smile. "Well it's not hard just weird is what I meant."

"Oh…in that case I see no reason for you to be in trouble!" Demyx chirped happily and sat on his other side.

"No reason!? He called me gay!" Marluxia screeched, his voice going higher than any normal man's should.

"He said I was scary and that I'm not hot!" Larxene whined looking at Demyx and Axel like she was about to murder them.

"But…he didn't mean anything mean by it…" Demyx squeaked and shrunk in his seat.

Before more could happen the teacher walked in and slammed his books on the desk, "Shut up sit down and take out your books." He snapped and glared at the four in the back. The remainder of the period all Axel could think of was seeing Roxas at lunch and trying to explain himself. He was off his meds! Yeah that could work…except Roxas knows he doesn't take anything. Oh he could say he hadn't set anything on fire recently, and that his mind was all scattered. No…he wouldn't believe that one either, he was even more doomed than he was ten minutes ago. Twenty minutes to go till he saw his Roxie and tried to save their friendship. He tried to concentrate but graphs never were his strong point, so he ended up staring at his paper until the bell rang again. Time for lunch and facing the rest of their group…both blondes would kill him he was positive about that.

"Lunch time Axel! Ready for this Larxy?" Marluxia chimed once the bell had quieted.

"Oh yes Marly this will be interesting." Larxene replied wrapping her arms around his waist.

"Don't worry Ax me and Zexy will be there for ya! Roxas won't stay mad for long, Hayner might though…you did call him gay and say he wanted Seifer." Demyx said tugging on his arm.

"Yeah…sure…" Axel mumbled and let himself be pulled towards his funeral.
