Chapter: 12

Title: Situations

Disclaimer: My ownership of kingdom hearts is like my relationship with Axel; in my head.

Class was uneventful and what not. And that's how I like it. Being in a classroom environment was my time; everything is organised from the lessons, to my desk and my thoughts. But today was out of balance because my thoughts were thrown all over the place and all because of one person. How did I become so attached to him so quickly? I came to Uni to study and get a good career, not make friends and become dependent of someone's existence.

The class was long and I tuned out several times, but it was ok; I was two weeks ahead and because of that I took to doodling in my book. I wonder if it was something important? Did something bad happen to him or family member? Did he forget or over sleep? The last one made me giggle and I got an eyebrow raise and throat clearing from the teacher then he went back to talking about molecules or something. I was lost now. Slumping in my seat, I closed my eyes and thought back to the night in the park. I wanted to be happy and not worrying because there was no point. It wasn't a "date" or anything so it doesn't matter but I was shocked back into reality when I remembered I had to message Naminé.

Roxas [10.00am]; Hey its Roxas : )

Naminé [10.10]; Oh hey!

Roxas [10.10]; What did you want to organise for lunch?

Naminé [10.13]; Look, I'm going to ask you be honest ok? Are you wanting to catch up so we can talk about what happened at your dorm?

I got nervous.

Roxas [10.14]; Well yea and I wanted to see what you were up to.

Naminé [10.15] ok then : ) I thought so because I saw you with her this morning and she looked really upset… I really should apologise to her... All well. I'll message you when I'm out!

Hopefully things will go ok because I don't want to make it worse for Xion.

Class finished 15 minutes after that and true to her word, Naminé text me when she finished and we had lunch at the café just down the road. It was a small and dark café, but not dark as in uncomfortable but a warm dark. The wall were covered in wallpaper of tree branches and flowers and inside the flowers was a single little fairy light. All the furniture was either warm or light brown or black leather and the ceiling was black. The chairs along the wall and adjacent to the counter were high industrial bar stools with a simple wooden table, and in the front of the store, there were two single couches to a coffee table. The lights that lit up the baenettes were a warm cream light and there were hanging light pendants. It was a cosy place to escape the cold and dry winter air.

"So how's your sciencie stuff?" Naminé gave mocked sophisticated eyebrow raise and folded her jacket over her chair and folded her dress under her legs.

"Oh, very sciencie," I tried to return the eyebrow movement but I don't think I did it as well. We both laughed a little and ordered. Naminé got a latte and I kept to my green tea.

"So I'm going to start," Thinking it was a good idea to break straight into it, Naminé's facial expression hardened as though I had caught her off guard. "I'm here to talk to you for her, but more to extend the message of her feeling like shit." Naminé stirred in her chair and clearly didn't want to talk about it. "This is shitty but it has to be fixed either way, I like you, and I'm sure Axel does too and Xion is my best friend ok?" Anger was bubbling up and I could tell she knew from the way I spoke of Xion. I took a deep breath and sat back. The waitress came over with our drinks and I handed her a note. "Keep the change." I shot her a smile and she blushed a little. Naminé was still looking like she had sunken into herself and in deep thought, but I broke it with a question. "I'm thinking of having another little party like what we had in my dorm. Would you like to come?"

Looking a little dazed still, Naminé nodded and agreed to come. Hopefully she and Xion can sort it out there. I was pulled out of my thoughts from Naminé's message tone and watched her study it, then crinkled her forehead.

"Where's Axel?" She looked a little confused, making her expression a little harder as she snapped her eyes up to mine.

"I don't know, why?" A little nervous, I moved to the end of seat she handed me her phone so I could read it myself.

Olette [12.03pm]; OMG did you hear about Axel? He's at the cop shop in the watch tower from beating up a guy. Apparently Axel isn't looking good himself but its like minor or something. I duno. But seriously! OMG this makes him looking even more badass!

"Are you fucking kidding me?!" For a brief second I forgot where I was and looked at Naminé. I startled her and she gave me a forced smile.

"Got get that redhead out of trouble." She waved and I rushed out apologising and cursing under my breath. I swear to God I'm going to punch him when I get there. In anger I called Xion as I headed back towards the Uni practically sprinting. It didn't take too longer to get back in the gates and head back towards my dorm. Xion wasn't answering but I kept trying. Amost falling up the stairs, I unlocked my door and grabbed my smokes and wallet and headed back down to my car. Xion finally answered after I started the car and headed out the gates and I out her on speaker.

"Yo, what's with all the calls?" She giggled at me.

"Axel's at the station." I blurted and pulled a hard left speeding towards town.

"Wow, like train or-"

"Police. I swear to fuck if I get a ticket, I'm going to make the rich basted pay for the fucker." I hissed at her through the phone and slammed on the breaks at the red light almost stalling the car.

"Is he ok?! Is it anything major?" You could hear her rummaging through a bag.

"Oh he'd better hope so or it will be when I get there. I'll call you tonight or drop around ok?" Xion stopped what she was doing and it was quiet for a moment.

"Ok then, be careful driving please. Its meant to be raining soon, so just… just take it slow ok? Make him suffer a little more, yea?" Her voice was light and it calmed for a brief second.

"Ok, bye." The line went dead and I tossed my phone into the back seat and put my foot down a little harder than I had intended and started screeching down the road. It had started raining, just like Xion had warned me, so I slowed back to the speed limit of 60km through town and it ticked me off. The police station wasn't far from the school, about a 15 minute drive, but at the moment it felt longer and I was so angry, I could feel my eyes welling up. Fucking hell Axel! What have you done? Please, please, please nothing that involves court dates or anything. PLEASE!

When I got there it was pouring down. I was soaking wet when I got it and a lady at the front desk greeted me a warm smile.

"Hi how may I help you today?" Her hair was pulled back, and wearing extremely red lipstick. It was hard not to look at.

"Uhm, I'm here to pick up someone." My voice was shaking a little, I was so nervous but a hell of a lot angrier. "Axel? Redhead, a jerk, facial tattoos (I think that's what they were), beautiful green eyes and impossible?"

The lady giggled to herself a little. "So you must be the boyfriend he keeps talking about huh? You took your time" She winked at me and I was taken back by her comment, well Axel's comment. Fucking I was going to kill him.
