DON'T MIND ME. (Christmas Music All over the Place)
WHEEE. AND of COURSE there are references to chapter 13!
"talk" think ((eeeee))
What If…
Axel had to teach Roxas how to ride a four-wheeler?
((as suggested by the lovely NoirCat))
"See!? Didn't I tell you that would be fun?" Axel said enthusiastically as he walked with Roxas away from the paint-ball fields in the park.
A pink spotted Roxas smiled back faintly. "Loads of fun Axel."
"Oh come on you have to admit that was a little bit fun," he said, smirking. "After all you did go with me," he continued, giving him the I-Am-A-Sex-God-Adore-Me face.
Roxas smiled, looking over at him. "I gues-hey!" he shouted as he was plowed into by none other than Seifer.
"Watch where you're going asshole!"
Axel's hackles immediately rose, taking a step in front of Roxas. "Wanna say that again dickhead?"
Seifer sneered. "What's this Roxy? Have to have your girlfriend settle your problems?"
Axel would have punched him out if Roxas hadn't put a hand on his shoulder to stop him. "I can handle this," Roxas said calmly as he stepped up to Seifer. "What do you want ass?" he asked plainly.
"For you to show everyone else what a pansy you are," he said smirking. "I challenge you to a race with four-wheelers. Tomorrow at sunset. Loser has to dress like a woman."
Roxas smirked right back. "I suggest you go pick out a dress then."
Seifer flicked him off and strode away.
Axel looked down at Roxas, slightly stunned. "I don't think I've seen this 'AssKicking!Roxas' in a while," he said, pulling Roxas close against him. "I'm the only one who gets to call you Roxy…"
Roxas however, seemed to be occupied with something. Axel thought for a while.
"You have no idea what a four-wheeler is do you."
Roxas looked up at him and smiled weakly. "Not a clue."
----------((Lesson time!))------------
Roxas warily sat down on Axel's flaming red four-wheeler, double-checking that his helmet was on securely.
"…Why are there cardboard flames attached to the ends of your four-wheeler?"
Sure enough, Axel had duct taped 2 foot cardboard flames to the back of the four-wheeler. Axel smiled happily. "They're aesthetically pleasing. Besides, they could come in handy!" Roxas sighed.
"Axel-"
"We've been over this. It's Sensei!"
Roxas sighed. Not again… "Sensei, if this is anything like how you taught me how to ride a bike, I'm pretty sure I'd rather just go buy a dress."
Axel looked offended. "Nonsense! I'll ride with you first, so that way, we can die together!"
Roxas was not comforted. "But the warning sticker says not to ride with passeng-"
"LESSON ONE! Which technically, we only have time for one lesson so…THE ULTIMATE LESSON! Now, scoot up so I can get on."
Roxas moved up a bit and Axel climbed on, fitting himself around Roxas like a glove. "Better?" Axel whispered quietly into Roxas' ear.
Roxas shuddered. "Sure."
"First, turn the key and take off the parking brake." Axel put his hand over Roxas' and guided his hand along to the steps. Roxas struggled to pay attention. "Next, put it into drive and slowly push the throttle." Roxas shifted into 'Drive' and watched as his hand was guided to the right handgrip. Just when he was about to turn it, Axel surprised him by wrapping his other arm around Roxas' abdomen and pulling him closer. Roxas jerked and the four-wheeler flew forward. Axel held on tighter and reached over to the opposite handlebar to hit the brake.
"Jeez, Roxy you trying to get rid of me?" Axel said, chuckling.
"You did that on purpose."
Axel feigned innocence. "Let's try that again shall we?"
Roxas slowly accelerated the four-wheeler. "Good!" Axel said, "Now why don't we go for some terrain…"
----------------((Race time!))----------------
The next day was spent with cram-training sessions and going over possible tracks. At sunset, Roxas and Axel went over to the place in the park where they met Seifer. They found him waiting there with his four-wheeler, grinning like a mad man.
"Alright here's the deal. Once around the old tree and back," Seifer explained, pointing and still grinning maniacally.
"No problem," Roxas said confidently. They'd driven over that route at least 5 times.
"Oh and one more thing," he continued. "We'll be doing this race backwards."
Roxas choked on air. "What? That's insane-"
"Want me to go pick you out some heels?"
Roxas was silent, seething quietly as he got on the four-wheeler. This is insane. There is no way-
"Three."
"Two."
"One. GO!"
Roxas steeled himself and turned his head back as he floored it backwards. I can't believe I'm doing this, he thought quickly as he went over constant hills and bumps. As he neared the tree, he was neck and neck with Seifer. However, as he went to round the tree, he turned the four-wheeler in the wrong direction and careened into the trees. Shaking himself, he quickly turned about and floored it out of the bushes. As he slowly caught up to Seifer, he heard Axel yelling to him from the finish line.
"-red button! HIT THE RED BUTTON!"
Roxas turned back to his console quickly to see a red button. Warily, he punched it and turned back to see that the engine kicked into overdrive. He would have caught up to Seifer at that moment if there were but 50 feet more in the race. Holy Shit, he thought as he narrowed his eyes, there is no way I am wearing a dress tomorrow. He swerved violently to the left and went over a sharp hill, closing the distance between Seifer and himself. Axel took a picture as they both crossed the finish line.
"I so kicked you ass loser," Seifer said, gloating while the picture developed.
"Just wait and see…"
---------((a few minutes later))------
Seifer and Roxas both looked at the picture, awestruck.
Axel grinned triumphantly. "And iiiiiiiiiiiiit's ROXAS by a-"
"pair of two-foot cardboard flames," Roxas finished, surprised. Shaking himself, Roxas turned to Seifer, grinning. "There you go. I won fair and square. So make sure you get your hair and makeup done tomorrow!"
Seifer glared and stomped away.
Axel and Roxas doubled over in laughter. "Brilliant, Rox! I told you my cardboard things come in handy!"
Roxas smiled and pulled Axel over to him. "Alright, sensei. Since I am basically working myself permanently into your debt, how about we go learn how to do some other things?"
Axel grinned devilishly. "With pleasure," he said, scooping Roxas bridal style and walking towards the four-wheeler. "Your chariot awaits!"
