I started squealing when I noticed some people have added this to their favourites and Author Alerts and I'm really thankful
Now on with the story!
After walking around the town for about an hour, and laughing when Axel fell in the pond, we had made it to the edge of the forest; we had decided to go to the beach, all Demyx's idea. I swear the kids obsessed with water. After a few more minutes we had gotten our swimming suits and were heading to the beach. Too bad you have to go through a really creepy forest. Xion wasn't a fan of this idea.
An almost eerie mist had woven its way between the trees as Xion clung to Zexion, not letting go for anything. I had found out during the hour round town that the pair were brother and sister, and close at that, even though you would never guess that the steely purple haired bookworm would be related to the bundle of energy we know as Xion.
As we moved through the forest I heard Axel's teeth chattering together, as I looked over to the soggy red head, an amused smirk plastered over my face. Axel turned to look at me and noticed my smirk. A malicious glint in his eyes as he started stalking towards me.
Oh shit.
"Something funny Roxy?" he asked in a fake sweet voice, smirking to himself.
"No." I squeaked, trying desperately to suppress a giggle as I turned to look away.
I failed.
"Ahh you're laughing at me because I'm soaking wet." He said in a mocking voice. He hit it head on.
"Y-yeah." I said as I started laughing. I am so screwed.
"Aww isn't that kind, I think it deserves a hug!" he said in a fake cute voice, dripping with sarcasm as I looked at him in horror, the malicious gleam in his eyes as everyone else voiced their agreements. I hate them all.
"Oh shit!" I screamed as I ran through the forest flailing my arms as I ran, Axel right behind me as I sprinted in between all the trees.
"Don't you dare Axel!" I shouted as I could hear his panting right behind me, and with a grunt from said red head he had rugby tackled me to the ground hugging me close, getting all my clothes soaking wet.
"Axel!" I shouted as everyone started laughing, I couldn't wipe the smile off my face, even though I tried.
"Yes Roxy-Kins?" he asked using the sweetest voice he could muster, standing up and offering his hand to help me up, as I grabbed his hand he pulled me up with more force than I expected as I found myself flush against his chest. This is too close; I thought to myself as I quickly pulled away, a crimson blush spreading over my face as Axel smirked at me.
Jerk.
As we reached the other edge of the forest we were met by the stone walls and iron gate of a huge run down mansion. There were many types of scaffolding put up around the house.
"Aww damn it, now we have to go round…" Hayner voice was whiny as his mock pout made him look like a baby.
"You guys voluntarily go through there?" I could tell by the shock in Xion's voice that she was afraid of the dark. I'm not exactly wild about the dark either but I could tell she was shit scared of it.
"Don't worry Xion were going round." I said with a reassuring smile. As we left the mansion we were met by a young blonde girl, around about the same height as Xion and her eyes were a crystal blue. She had bleach blond hair and a pale complexion, which made her look almost ethereal, wearing a slim white laced dress. I recognize her; she reminds me of someone.
"Hello, I'm Naminé, who are you?" she asked inquisitively, one blond eye brow high on her face lost behind the blonds fringe.
"I'm Xion!" she shouted going up to the bland girl and hugging her, complementing her dress. After Xion introduced the rest of us, her smile widened as she looked at Zexion with pleading eyes.
"Zexion, Naminé said I could stay at her house while you guys go to the beach, is that okay?" Her eyes begging as she stared at Zexion, how could he refuse the girl? After about a minute Zexion sighed dramatically.
"Fine, but stay with Naminé." He spoke with an actual feeling, worry. I wonder why he's so worried. I'm just surprised how easily Xion changed her views of the mansion she feared only a few moments ago. That kid is bi-polar
"To the beach!" Hayner and Axel shouted in unison as they stared at each other, we all just burst out laughing.
After about five minutes of walking we decided to have a piggy back race. Well Demyx, Axel and Hayner did. Zexion, Marluxia and I were voicing our protests, but they fell on deaf ears as Axel chose Marluxia, Demyx and himself to give the piggy backs.
"Ok it's obvious that Zexy wants to be on Demyx." Axel said with a smirk, winking at Zexion as said slate haired boy blushed profusely.
"So it's up to Roxy and Hayner to choose." But as he spoke it felt like he was only addressing me as his stare engulfed me, I looked into his eyes and only really noticed the dark jade hue that usually had a hint of malice or mischief in them. I was brought out of my reverie by Axel waving a hand in my face.
"Hey Roxy; you ok? I know I'm so drop dead sexy but you kinda missed out on choosing." He spoke the gleam of mischief evident in his eyes as he winked at me. I blushed a crimson red.
"Shut up Axel…" I mumbled as I looked down, embarrassed. He quickly moved to the side and started rubbing my back.
"I'm sorry if I embarrassed you…" Axel spoke solemnly, the usual glint of mischief gone and replaced by sorrow. I couldn't control my arms; my brain just wasn't working as I wrapped one arm around his waist and one hand stroking his arm. Don't give me that look! It was supposed to be comforting!
"It's ok, I over reacted. Now let's go kick these losers' asses!" I shouted giving him a smile that I could beat the suns ass with it. He immediately perked up and got down on his knees.
"Hop on Roxy." He smiled a sincere smile but winked all the same.
Pervert
I sighed tiredly, as I looked at my jade eyed companion a huge grin plastered on his face as he lined up next to Marluxia and Demyx, eyes set on the edge of the forest that opens out to the beach. I quickly mounted Axel as Hayner mounted Marluxia.
Don't… Even… Think about it.
As I got on my blush deepened at the close contact, my heartbeat threatening to destroy my ribs as it beats faster against them. I wrap my arms around his neck as I tighten my grip on him. He slips his hand under my thighs, warmth radiating from his hands as my blush triples.
I must look like a frigging tomato.
As they geared up ready to sprint the few metres to the beach. Axel, Marluxia and Demyx leaned forward, eyes locked on the opening. They were just about to start when a voice destroyed the tense silence.
"What the hell are you guys doing?" Xion voice was laced with confusion and amusement as Marluxia and Axel yelled in shock, sprawling down to the ground, Hayner and I going with them. Demyx squealed like a little girl, jumping five feet in the air Zexion shouting profanities as he held on for dear life.
As we eventually rose from our sprawled tangle of limbs and turned to glare at the two girls, we were shocked to see another girl with them. The girl had auburn hair and crystal blue eyes, a pale complexion and only slightly taller than Naminé and Xion.
"Kairi! What are you doing here?" I asked in shock, usually she would be on a shopping spree with Selphie or with Sora and Riku.
"Hello to you to Roxas, I'm here with my cousin and her new friend." She spoke in a teasing sort of way. I don't mind Kairi; she's a lot less annoying than Selphie.
"That's where I recognized Naminé; you two are related." I spoke as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, a lopsided grin on my face.
"Ok if we can get back to the question at hand, what the hell were you guys doing?" Asked Xion, an amused smile on her face matching those of Kairi's and Naminé's.
"We were going to have a piggy back race, but you guys interrupted." Demyx spoke from his position on Zexion's lap; a pout playing over his features.
"Well I'm sorry Demyx. We were just going to tell you were off to Station Heights to do some shopping. Is that ok Zexion?" she spoke with a quiet voice, a nervous smile on her face as she looked at Zexion with pleading eyes.
"Yeah I suppose." He spoke with amusement in his voice as her smile grew wider and she launched herself at him.
"Thank you Zex, thank you thank you thank you!" she shouted as she went and grabbed Kairi and Naminé's hands dragging them off towards the mansion again.
After we eventually made it to the beach since we started the race again, Marluxia and Hayner were high fiving as Zexion and Demyx had crumpled onto the sand out of exhaustion. Axel was lying on the sand pouting as I stroked his hair.
"Axel stop pouting, at least we beat Demyx and Zexion." I said as he started chuckling. Demyx and Zexion both simultaneously gave me the finger.
"I suppose, now let's do something fun!" he shouted jumping up from his position in the sand. Marluxia seemed to understand what he meant as he reached into his swimming bag and brought out a big bottle of vodka and six shot glasses.
Oh no.
"Ok today were playing 'I've never' everybody know the rules?" Axels words were met with a murmur of agreements and nods of heads.
"All right I'll go first." Axel seemed to ponder on a good one, face set in a look of concentration.
"I've never… kissed a girl." Me and Hayner looked at him with shock. Before I could stop myself I asked.
"Really?" I asked shock evident in my voice.
"Nope, gay all the way." He spoke with a smirk green eyes aglow with mischief. I scoffed at his stupid rhyme, but still downed the shot glass, as did Hayner, Demyx and Zexion.
"Ok Marly's turn." Marluxia glared at him but still took the shot glass, pink eyebrows knitted together, deep in thought.
"Ok, I've never kissed a boy in the bathrooms at high school." He looked pleased with himself as he looked Axel with a satisfied smirk as he gulped down the shot. To everyone's shock Hayner did the same.
"What! Who did you kiss?" I shouted. Confusion clear in my voice.
"That's for me to know, and you to never find out." He said as he winked at me, sticking his tongue out at the same time.
He looked like he'd been fucking Tasered.
"Fine." I spoke obviously quite angry but oh well he doesn't want me to know. It became Demyx's turn and he looked maliciously over at Marluxia.
"I've never had drunken sex in my garden." He spoke with pride in his voice, a smirk radiating off of the blonde.
Marluxia just mumbled something incoherently and started gulping down his shot, still glaring at the blonde water fanatic. Hayner and I just stared in shock. Axel noticed our shocked faces and started chuckling.
"He really loves flowers." he spoke, amused at our horror.
The game continued on for about two hours, I barely even remember snuggling up close in strong arms. The smell of smoke and cinnamon radiating off of the body beneath me.
Sorry for the wait. but never fear AkuRoku is here! I just felt I had to give you some ;) Next chapter will be up soon. A special thanks to everyone who added me on AA or favourite the story.
