A Transvestite Romance
Chapter 1- Pilot/First Sight
Axel never believed in love at first sight. He thought it was a bunch of bull made up to for one reason: to make girls think they would find love.
Boy, he was in for a surprise when he moved to Twilight Town…
January 1, 2009
It was Axel's sixteenth birthday when his older brother, Reno, told him the news.
The birthday was normal. Axel woke up after sleeping for a couple of hours. He ate breakfast and played video games. Reno took him out to dinner at an expensive place. When they got home and had cake, Reno dropped the bomb.
"Axel, we're moving."
"What? You're kidding! Where to? Why?" he demanded, thinking it was a joke.
"You're getting older and we should move out of Midgar."
"What about my friends? Your job?" Axel stood up, ready to punch his brother's lights out.
"You'll make new ones. My job? Since when you cared about my job? Besides, I'll get a new one. I've got experience guarding Dad. They'll take me."
"Fine," Axel grumbled, running a hand through his hair, kicking the counter. "You'll be fine, I'll just rot!"
"Don't be such a drama queen. I'm doing this for you."
"For me, thanks Reno! Where are we moving to anyway?"
"Twilight Town."
"What?"
January 7, 2009
"Hello. I'm Axel Flurry. As in the Flurry of Dancing Flames. I used to live in Midgar, but my jerk brother decided to move. So now I'm stuck with you losers." Axel smirked. It was 7th hour AP English. He said this speech in all classes except in Gym.
"Alright, Alex-"the teacher, Mr. Mouse started.
"Axel. Got it memorized, Mouse?"
"Yes, sorry. Axel. Sit next to Hayner and-"the door opened revealing a young woman with blonde hair and black clothes. "Roxanne, you're late. Not a good choice for the first day of the new semester."
"Sorry, sir. My locker wouldn't open." Roxanne replied, smoothing her hair and 'gliding' to her seat.
"Alright, I'll sit next to her," Axel said, perking up. He sat down next to her and a boy with messy, slicked back blond hair and camouflage. Hayner snickered.
"What?" Axel asked, sticking his feet into the aisle. "Nothing," Hayner laughs. Axel grabs his shirt and yells "What the hell is so funny?"
"Axel, Hayner, we are in class!" Mr. Mouse said sternly.
"Sorry, sir," both mumble.
After class, Roxanne 'glided' up to Axel. "Thanks," she mumbled, twisting a strand of hair.
"No problem," Axel smiled gently. "What did that guy want?"
She blushed. "Nothing, he was an old friend."
"What happened? You broke up?"
"No. We never went out." She mumbled.
"Then what?"
Roxanne changed the subject. "What happened to your face?" Axel touched his cheeks; two upside down tear drops rested there. "These? Oh, I was playing with a burning branch. I burned my face. I was an idiotic kid."
"So she laughs and kisses my cheek and leaves! I mean I didn't do much, just yelled at a kid." Axel said, shaking his head. Reno swallowed a piece of shrimp.
"I think this Roxanne girl has a crush on you, Ax," Reno said teasingly. Axel gagged.
"I just met her."
"I know. Every girl wants to be swept off her feet by a knight and shining armor and lives happily ever after. Doesn't mean it will come true."
Axel groaned and pulled at his hair. "Why me?"
There was a knock on the door.
"Who the hell is it?" Axel demanded and stormed to the door, wrenching it open.
"Hi," a boy with a mullet said. "We," he indicated an emo-looking boy "Live across the hall. I'm Demyx and this is Zexion!"
"Nice to meet you," Zexion mumbled, hiding behind his blue/gray/purple-ish hair.
"Can we come in?" Demyx asked, bouncing.
Axel looked around. "What the hell, come on in."
