Title: Welcome To The World

I couldn't believe how cool he was about this all. Axel had a busted lip, a black eye and bruising all over.

"Hey Roxy." Axel just smiled as they released him. He had his hair up in a ponytail and I almost didn't recognise him because of this. A tear rolled down my cheek when I realised who it was and he walked over, a worrying look taking hold on his face. He opened his arms to embrace me but I just slapped him. The noise echoed and the officers who released him, receptionist and other in the holding cells just stared.

Axel just stayed looking the other way, his eyes wide. I pulled him down by the scarf around his neck and looked him dead in the eyes and hissed through my teeth quietly as another couple of tears accompanied the first one. "Are you fucking kidding?! I sped all the way here and this is how you act?" Before he could say anything, I cupped his face with one hand and leant in. I was angry so I went in hard and didn't care about his busted lip and hoped it hurt him. After pulling away and not another word, I drove his ass home.

"So what's with this 'boyfriend' thing, aye?" The car sped up and I kicked it up a gear. Axel just let out a chuckle and it pissed me off more. "What? Not going to tell me?"

"Well, you're a boy, I'm a boy, you've kissed me, what, twice now?" He was smirking and it just infuriated me.

"Well, me being your boyfriend usually means we are in a relationship right?"

He nodded.

"SO that means there's two people in a mutual agreement?"

He nodded again

"There where thE HELL WAS I WHEN YOU DECIDED TO MAKE THIS DECISION?" The car came to a sudden halt and Axel was thrown back into his seat. Yea, I did like him, but I had my own personal issues on it and I'd only know him for little while. I sighed, maybe I need to loosen up? After all, I didn't agree with what my parents brought me up believing, so why am I still trying to shut him out?

But I think it was more the fact of seeing Axel being in the holding cell that caused this little outburst because I had never seen anything like this before. It was all new and I didn't really know how to act, so naturally, I was angry and worried. When we got back to my dorm, he followed me up slowly and I came inside with me.

"So are you going to tell me what happen?" He didn't sit on my bed but the little table and chair I had in the kitchenette. I placed the first aid on the table.

"You don't need to do that you know. I was already looked at."
"Don't care. I need to feel as though I've help, you prick. So what happened?" I dapped at his lip and pressed the question again, looking at him with a hard face. Axel just sighed and pushed my hand away and walked over to my bed. He removed his shirt and revealed several large bruises.

"I was walking to the corner store to grab something and this guy jumped me. Well actually he started with the gay slurs and shrugged it off. I don't have time for small minded people." He opened his bag he had on him and pulled out a singlet and put it on. Apparently it hurt when he flopped onto my bed from the noise he made. "Anyway, because I ignored him and kept walking, we thought it was funny to flick a cigarette at me, when that didn't get my attention, three others came from the other side of the road and pushed me up against a wall. He said something about not wanting to fuck me so I said 'well I don't want your chlamydia anyway' and then his friend punched me in the gut, I head butt him. It went on for a while and then someone called the cops."

All I could do was sigh and try to compose myself. "Honestly? I'm glad you weren't the one who started it." I walker over, still pissed, and sat next to him. There was just too much going on lately for me to process. Axel rolled onto his side and I could feel his eyes scanning over me and it made me feel uncomfortable, only because I felt venerable while falling into deep thought. A lot of things felt out of place or put where they didn't belong and I was still trying to figure out where the boldness I had from the first night here. When did I allow strangers to kiss me, or even let them get me drunk? I really needed to stop being a downer, so I stood up.

"Axel," I stood up and asserted myself. "I want to through a party." I probably sounded like I had no idea what I was saying and it was true. These words felt foreign and my stomach felt as though it would flip, but I wasn't allowing that.

Axel's face had lit up brighter than a kids at Christmas; it was like I had given him the greatest present and like that, he just pulled me out the door and dragged me into my car. He swung me into the driver's seat and looked to me. I've never seen his eyes so wide and full of excitement before… I was in a trance.

"So, who's coming? I know a heap who could brin-" He stopped and his sentence just trailed off to nothing, "How about a small one? You, me, Xion and we could ask Naminé? Are those two ok?

"Not really, I think they're both like me at the moment; a little confused. Naminé, I think has some other issues going on." I handed Axel my phone. "Could you text her for me please?" The car made was cold and the heaters were taking forever to warm up and I was trying to ignore Axel's smirk.

"And we aren't a couple." I punched his arm.

"No we aren't, you self-righteous prick. Just text her and ask, both her and Xion, and DON'T go through the messages. Just text her." That was something for another day. "Where too?"

"Well, we'll need alcohol. That's an essential." I smiled and headed towards the bottel-o.

A/N: This one was a little harder to write, because it didn't flow out as naturally as the others. In saying that, I think it took two days to finally complete. I'm not sure if really digging it, and I'm not sure if I've missed any words non-Australians need explaining. If so, send me a message and I'll write a list of them and their meanings
