So...here is Axels chappie again! :D I added Roxas to it too...probably gonna set it up like that from now on...makes it easier on my brain and that way I don't have to post the same day twice and its longer for you lovely readers! :)
xlonexwriterx: well...as you find out in this chapter Roxas is insane! That's why he yelled at poor Axel v.v and thanks for reviewing :D I'm glad you like it
disclaimer: do not own...unless you buy me the rights for my birthday :D just an idea...
Axel limped over to the bleachers to take a seat as the rest of the class continued with their run. Trying to avoid both Roxas and Namine was hard work, he ran into the bleachers at least four times not to mention the first year that he accidently tripped over trying to make a quick escape from the two blondes. After about the fifth time Mr. Strife yelled for him to sit out so he doesn't kill himself. But that also brought the bouncing blonde problem of a girl over to sit with him, damn the teachers in this school and their need to pair the wounded with the well. He glanced over at Namine as he sat down slowly wincing when he bumped his leg, again.
"Axel...What's going on with you and Rox?" she asked and looked up at the redhead, concern lacing her brilliant eyes.
He sighed and ran his hand through his spikes, "I just screwed up Nami, I need to catch him alone to talk to him."
"Well how about at the party? I can arrange it so you guys can get in a room alone or something, I don't like how Rox looks right now, it's almost like he's in pain about this fight." Namine looked up at her brother racing Hayner while still trying to avoid Seifer.
Axel sighed and shook his head; he really had screwed up hadn't he. He looked over Namine at his Roxie, yes Roxas was still his, he thought about what Namine had suggested and nodded to himself. "Alright Nami, let's do it!" he pumped his arm in the air and smiled like an idiot when Roxas ran past, who just shook his head and smiled at the redhead, progress already being made? Or maybe he was just attempting to be nice as a show in front of his baby sister? Who knows with that kid…?
"So, how are we gonna get him into an empty room?" Namine asked her eyes bright with excitement.
"Well he wouldn't go into one knowing I was in there, so maybe say Hayner and Seifer are fighting again and it's getting violent?" Axel supplied thinking about what happened in the locker room, it could happen.
"But they are going to be there too, so how can we say that if he's with them?"
"Damn…your right, maybe Zexion and Demyx can help us out. Zex is constantly complaining I bother him, just think how he will react if I tell him since Roxie isn't hangin' with me anymore he'd get to see a lot more of this beautiful face." The redhead grinned and scanned the runners for Demyx, since unlike Zexion he went along with Axel's little skip out of gym plan their first year, spotting the boy he flagged him down.
"What's up Ax? You feelin any better? Your legs took quite a beating, so did that first year." He laughed and jogged in place, as long as they kept in motion he couldn't care less what they did. Another perk of this school, the teachers didn't care what you did as long as you show up and have their work done by the day due.
"We need you to help us get Roxie into a room with me, so I can sort this thing out with him. Your also gonna get Zex to help with this or you two will never have a moment without me again." Axel said examining his nails.
He could still watch Demyx though and grinned when said blonde paled under his tan, he knew that would get them, even though Zexion was his cousin the emo looking boy preferred his hyperactive friend over anyone else. Cutting in on their time is his only threat but it works every time. "Um…Ax you can't do that! It's our anniversary this month!"
Both Axel and Namine snapped to attention at that with wide eyes, and Demyx covered his mouth, "Um no never mind. I didn't say that, please don't tell Zexy! He'd kill me; he wants to keep it a secret till after graduation, keep this secret and we will help you out."
"Sounds like an agreement to me!" Namine said and clapped her hands together, smiling a dazzling smile that caused the boys running to stop and stare.
The two boys talking with her rolled their eyes and started discussing a way to get Zexion to agree.
"I was thinkin use the same tactic on him that I used on you."
"It might work; then again Zexy can be really scary when he's angry even with one eye."
"How about…we threaten to shave his head? And expose the other eye to society!"
"No you can't do that to him! That's just too mean Axel."
This continued till the bell ring and they all wandered off to their locker rooms, Demyx and Axel still discussing how to get Zexion to help them. Axel caught Roxas' eye and gave him a small smile and wave hoping he'd get one in return, but his blonde affection just turned to talk to Hayner apparently waiting for Axel to change and leave. Demyx looked up Axel noticing how his face fell dramatically when the blonde ignored him.
"It's ok Ax, after the party you guys will be friends again! I promise, me and Zexy will make it happen."
"Yeah I hope your right Demyx, today has been the longest one of my life." He sighed and started getting into his uniform, at least it was the end of the day and he can just go home and relax while asking Zexion to help him.
"Shut up Axel and let me read."
"Buuuuut Zeeeeeex you gotta help me! Even DemDem said he would!"
Now in case you're wondering Zexion is close to murdering me, for calling Demyx DemDem…its worth it for my Roxie. And who am I talking to? Am I really that insane?
Nope! You got me lover boy!
Um...And who are you?
Just call me…Xemmy! I'm your voice of reason!
And where were you when I royally fucked up?
Oh I was on vacation. You never listen to me anyways so I decided to get some time to myself.
…Your insane….I'm insane for have a conversation with…Xemmy?
Hehe has such a cute ring to it!
Um…yeah…help me with Zex please?
Well first I'd duck cause looks like he's gonna throw that book at ya for callin' DemDem…well DemDem!
Axel looked up at his cousin and moved as quickly as he could to get avoid getting hit in the head with an extremely deadly looking book.
"Axel never call Demyx, MY Demyx, DemDem again. Understand me?"
Axel stared wide eyed at his quiet cousin before screaming, "YOU COULD HAVE KILLED ME YOU PSYCHO!"
"Not kill…just wound very badly and knock you out for awhile to give me some peace of mind. As for helping you, why should I? What do I get from it?"
Oh! We got him Axey! Now hit him with your plan and threat!
"Um…well we need you to figure out a plan to help us…and if you don't help I'd be forced to hang out with you and Dem…yx and we both know you don't want that."
Not what I had in mind…but good!
Am I gonna be stuck with you for life?
YUP! We are stuck together foreverssssssss!
God…it's like having DemDem living in my brain…
Teehee I know amazing isn't it?
Axel sighed and watched his cousin thinking over his current problem, it could go either way at this point, but at least he looked thoughtful that's always a good sign. "Fine I'll help, but if you do one thing wrong I will be forced to throw that book again and hit you."
"THANK YOU ZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEX!" Axel squealed and ran up to hug the slate haired boy, narrowly avoiding the knee to his stomach.
"No touching me." And with that Zexion retrieved his book and locked himself in his bedroom.
Axel grinned and ran to call DemDem and after the conversation was falling asleep when Xemmy appeared again.
YAY! Good goin' Axey! Zexy is gonna help us get Roxie back! Ooo and do you think Demy will be all excited to know you have a him living in your head?
"Shut up please…" Axel mumbled and rolled over towards the window and looked at the stars while he fell asleep half listening to Xemmy's rambles and half thinking of Roxas forgiving him.
Roxas
Throughout gym his eyes wandered back to his sister and his Axel, no it's just Axel not his just Axel…right?
Nooope! Wrong! Ding ding ding! We have a loser people!
…I'm insane…
Nope! I'm Vexxy! Your voice of reason!
Where were you when I yelled at Axel!?
With Xemmy! On vacation it was fun!
And who is Xemmy?
Axel's voice of reason hehe.
….right….
Deciding he was officially insane he continued to race Hayner glancing at the blonde and redhead. On their next pass around he couldn't help but smile when the redhead pumped his arm in the air, grinning like an idiot.
"Yo Roxas pay attention."
"Huh? What Hayner?"
"We're getting pretty close to Seifer we should slow down…"
"Yeah ok…"
Ooooh! What's goin on between him and Seifer?
Roxas ignored his new found, reasoning?, if you could call It that…he just slowed his pace to match the blonde next to him. They made another pass by Axel and saw Demyx now with him. Another pass and they saw Demyx freaking out and seemed like he was begging, if it was quieter in the gym they might have been able to hear what it was about.
I bet him and that cutie Zexion are together!
"Shut up Vexxy!" Roxas snapped and covered his mouth.
"Who's Vexxy? And I wasn't even talking…Rox you feelin ok?"
"Yeah…fine. Come on let's head to the locker room I think Mr. Strife is gonna blow the whistle soon anyway."
"HEY! LOCKHART AND CRYSTAL! GET BACK TO RUNNING!"
Both boys stopped and looked up at their teacher, flinching under his intense gaze. They started back in their pattern just waiting for the whistle both lost in their own world.
So! Roxie, I've heard what Axel thinks about you from a very reliable source…
Can it Vexxy…
You're taking this a lot better than I thought you would. Ya know denying your true feelings is very bad for you.
How do I make you go away?
Make up with Axel.
I can't do that…I might lose my other friends…
What's more important Roxas? Them or him?
Roxas slowed down to a walk and blinked quickly, which was more important? Axel was his first friend at this school; the others made fun of him. Axel was, is damnit is, his best friend; the others were just that gang. Who would he feel more lost without? He still had the gang, but he feels empty without Axel…
Then that's your answer isn't it? Makeup with that loveable redhead! Go run to him and give him a big hug and kiss! I know you want to!
…and I was just starting to like you… Roxas thought smirking and walked into the locker room with Hayner. When Axel smiled and waved he had to turn away, he couldn't do this here and now, maybe at the party but not now… He waited till Axel left to get dressed then he ran to catch up with Namine and Sora to get a ride home.
"Yo Sora, Nami, Riku! Wait up!" He shouted and caught up with them as fast as he could.
"Gee Rox you can still run after gym? You're a super man!" Sora grinned and patted his brother on the back. Roxas shrugged his brothers hand off him, and turned to Namine, he needed to talk to her and soon.
"Yeah Roxas the way you and Hayner were running around I'd think you'd be a puddle of goo right now." Namine giggled and flipped her hair over one shoulder.
"Nah he's a Lockhart of course he can handle it! You all can, well except maybe Nami, she is a wimp." Riku joked and looked down at Roxas grinning.
"Oh haha, look you just go give your cousin a ride and leave us to bond!" Sora said and pushed his friend towards Kairi and his car.
"Yes your majesty!" Riku said and bowed to them before walking off to Kairi.
"SHOT GUN!" Roxas yelled and took off towards Sora's car.
"WHAT!? THAT'S CHEATING ROXAS!" Namine shouted after him trying to catch up, heels never were the best thing to run in.
Sora just grinned and watched before turning to look at Riku as he drove off with Kairi chatting his ear off. At least in his car he had a CD player to drown out Namine.
"COME ON SORA!" Roxas yelled hitting the horn with his bag.
"I'll kill you if you break my car Rox!"
"Yeah yeah!"
Aww brotherly love is so sweet.
Go away damn you!
But I love ya Roxas can't just abandon you in your time of need!
I was doing just fine without you…
That must be why you yelled at your best friend?
…shut up
Roxas' good mood immediately abandoned him when Vexxy beat him in an argument…He also remembered mom would be home when he got there…great.
He sighed and fell into bed, Namine told Aerith about lunch and Aerith glared at Roxas all through dinner, and TV time, and dessert, and before bed. He could bet she'd dream about him just to glare, that woman has glaring powers when she wants to punish someone. No groundings, no yelling, no "I'm so disappointed" just glares. Her children have learned never piss her off that much, and Roxas has done just that, pissed her off so much the glare was always there, only smiles for the good kids, not the Roxas. He sighed again and rolled onto his back looking at the ceiling. Sora and Namine walked in and he glanced at them before going back to his ceiling.
"Rox…what happened with you and Axel?" Sora asked sitting down next to his twin and leaned over him to look in his eyes.
"Nothing…"
"It's not 'nothing' if it was Axel wouldn't have been as hurt as he is and you both would have been giving Mr. Strife a hard time during gym and you wouldn't have yelled at him like you did." Namine said climbing over him to sit on his other side and leaned over touching her head against Sora's so they could both see him properly.
"I just…lost it! He said shit about our family and everyone else in the group. He also said something about him being confused about how he feels about me…I just kinda lost it…I mean I didn't mean for him to get hurt. I just don't understand what's going on, it's like he doesn't understand…." Roxas trailed off and sighed again.
"Doesn't understand what?" the brunette asked confused.
"That's just it! I don't know! I don't know why I'm angry at him I just am!"
"Rox…just talk to him, that's all he wants right now…" Namine said softly.
"Yeah…but I can't I don't want to lose the gang…"
"Who's more important…Axel or them?" Sora looked down his blue eyes swimming with concern.
"Heh…Vexxy asked the same thing…"
"Who's Vexxy?"
"My voice of reason…he has mood swings…one second he's serious the next he's all screwy like Dem…"
Uhm…maybe not the best to mention me…
Roxas ignored him and turned on to his stomach, he couldn't stand looking at his twin and little sister.
"Well how did you answer it for…Vexxy?" Namine asked looking at Sora concerned.
"Axel…I'd choose Axel over them any day…"
"Well what's the problem then?" Sora piped up and looked at the back of his head.
"They won't leave me alone to talk to him…"
"You could have in the locker rooms."
"No…Nami I was with Hayner, when Axel smiled and waved Hayner gave him the dirtiest look I couldn't go over and talk to him, not there…not with Hayner around, I had to turn away…and he looked crushed!"
"Bein straight would be so much easier wouldn't it Rox?" Sora said gravely hoping to make him smile.
"What would you know…you're straight as a board."
"Yeah…a board…" Sora said quietly and looked away from Namine's knowing eyes as Riku's face popped into his mind.
"Well let's just get some sleep! It'll be better in the morning! And the party is in two days it'll be fun!" Namine said and bounced off the bed. "Night guys!"
The brothers mumbled good night and sat in silence till Sora broke it.
"You know…I'm not straight…"
"GASP! No way!? I never knew that." Roxas mocked surprise which in turn surprised Sora.
"How'd you know?"
"You drool over Riku all the time…just ask him if he likes you already."
"He doesn't, he likes someone else."
"Well he's an idiot, Sora you amazing he'll realize it soon enough." Roxas said sitting up.
"Heh we went from talking about you to me as soon as Nami left…"
"We're twins it's what we do."
"Well…good night, you riding with us in the morning?"
"If Reno doesn't show up, yeah."
They both fell silent, thinking about their own problems and pretended to sleep.
So! This Riku fellow, who is he?
Sora's best friends…why are you here?
Xemmy is busy with Axey so you're stuck with me!
…You can see into Axel's head?
Yep! And Axey's head is a scary place…
Can he do that too?
Nooo it's my special talent, he can tell Axey if you're lying to him though, in my opinion his talent is better.
Show me Axel's head.
You sure?
Yes.
Ok! Here we gooooo!
Roxas fell asleep looking at Axel's memories of them together, they were his happiest, he was just getting into Axel's mind going over today when he fell fast asleep and Vexxy stopped looking.
Sorry kid…Axel has to tell you everything else…I'm not going to…
SQUEEEEEE! xD AkuRoku finally gettin into gear! the next chappie will be the party and I'll try to get it out tomorrow and saturday by the latest...thinkin that chapter wil have some fluffs for ya :D gotta love Vexxy and Xemmy tho! yay for voices of reason! :D
