"Hey, are you okay?"
Roxas stopped dead in front of his study hall classroom. Axel was right beside him. He half wondered how long he'd been there.
"Oh God, I thought you were absent. I didn't see you in first period." Roxas ran a hand through his golden hair.
"I skipped first period. Overslept."
"Of course you did."
Pause.
"Aren't you going to go in?" the redhead asked.
"I'm debating whether to avoid you after yesterday."
"Oh, right, yesterday! I forgot about that. Are you done giving me the silent treatment now?" Axel exclaimed.
"I'm thinking. Gimme a minute."
Axel stood back and crossed his arms. "One… two…"
"You are not counting down the seconds in—" Roxas began, but Axel cut him off swiftly by leaning forward and pushing him against the wall.
Their lips touched for just the slimmest second.
Axel disappeared through the door, leaving Roxas alone in the hall.
