Figures A and B Means You and Me
Chapter One

"Okay, so let me get this straight..."

"Go right ahead, blondie."

Narrowed blue eyes formed a heated glare. "I told you not to call me that, pyromaniac. Now tell me this brilliant plan of yours, again. I've got to meet Leon soon."

A pale hand waved around, its owner giving a lazy yawn. "Well it's like this... I figure if I catch him at lunch, trip him, maybe you grab him, we can run off and - "

"How about... no. Violently restraining and kidnapping him is your grand master plan?"

Lips curved into a soft smirk, deviously deceitful. "Well, what do you purpose I do? I mean, he isn't exactly harping for my affections. The kid barely knows I exist. And you're no help, you know? Miss Ice Princess."

Nimble fingers dusted off grass as the tall, lanky figure stood up, grumbling to himself. "You're on your own Axel."

The red head frowned, rolling over and sticking out his lower lip to nibble on. "You'll be back. It's not like you're mister popularity, Cloud. Oh wait, you are."

Hissing out, "Shut up, Axel," the blond clutched his books and sauntered off toward the double doors that opened a hell known as school.

Axel muttered something foul, but didn't move.

Someone's foot nudged his side none too gentle, causing a slight groan to slip past his chapped lips. Jade eyes opened to see a hazy shadow towering over him. At first, Axel thought it would have to be Cloud, concerning the messy blond spikes. But then, the startling sapphire irises were wider, kinder just barely.

And then, Axel's brain began to go in overdrive mode. He knew this kid.

Roxas.

Roxas.

R-O-X-A-S.

Stay cool, Axel's brain demanded.

Accidentally swallowing a mouthful of grass, Axel shot up, spitting it out a second after and wiping his mouth with a grimace. He was so lame it was disgusting.

"Aren't you going to be late," the soft voice asked blandly.

Axel twitched sporadically.

Now, this wouldn't be a weird situation, but considering one very important fact, it was practically unheard of. Because, Roxas was one of the schools wealthiest (and most popular) students, that belonged to a completely snobby group. Axel on the other hand, was almost an outcast, simply because of his eccentricity, and his out-landish looks. His only friends, he was sure, had dozens of disorders and mental illnesses.

Plus, he was as tall as a telephone pole. Nobody cared about tall people. Other than making fun of them and their aforementioned height condition.

Roxas however, was a tiny little thing covered in clothes that flared out to make him look bigger. They really only made him look adorable, if anything. The kid had a cell phone. Axel would never get a cell phone in his adolescent life.

And the reason Axel was freaking out internally as he was? Roxas just happened to be his ultimate crush. His ultimate, unreachable, perfect crush that he happened to know squat about. But trivial things didn't matter. Nope.

"Hey Rox, who are you talking to? We'll be late!"

Sora.

Blaaaa. Axel hated Roxas's older brother-by-two-minutes. If only because Axel was a bitter moron who scorned the world and its unfairness that Sora got to touch his soon-to-be lover, and he didn't. perhaps minus the soon-to-be-lover part.

A tanned hand clamped down on the blond boy blessedly in front of him, and Sora's identical bright blue eyes started boring into him with both curiosity and confusion. "Who are you?" he murmured, not condescendingly, but not too friendly either.

None of your business, short one. "Axel. I was just resting up. Uh, I'll be going now. Yeaaah." Smooth. Was he blushing? His cheeks felt so hot... not good. He chanced a secretive glance behind him while he walked, and saw the incredibly, filthy rich Riku talking to Sora and Roxas.

If there was one person Axel despised more than anyone in the universe, it was that stick-up-his-ass stuck up jerk that was Riku. Oh the many nights he'd plotting the silver haired boy's death. But no one needed to know that. Riku was an ass to any and everyone. Period.

On his way inside, Axel pretended like it didn't hurt that Roxas didn't say goodbye or generally acknowledge his absence from the scene.

One fine red eyebrow twitched.

Violently.

Did Leon and Cloud have to make out every time the teacher left their table? Was it so much to ask to not be all PDA. It was awkward. And Axel found it just a little funny that the two stoic boy's were drawn to each other. But only a small part of him laughed. Of course, every time Cloud crawled into Leon's lap, Axel pictured Roxas and him. And then a drool session would begin so he'd have to start all over again on his painting. Art class sucked. A lot of things sucked... he... could suck...

"Cloooud, fucking stop!" he whined when the other boy started biting Leon's ear quite adamantly. It was a nice ear, but Axel did not need to see that.

His plea did nothing but encourage them. Leon even glared at him. How rude.

It was hilarious how Cloud used to be the schools punching bag, especially in gym class, and he really had no friends beside Axel, Aerith, Demyx, Naminé and Yuffie. Though when he hooked up with the unfeeling bastard known as Leon, his status instantly changed and they seemed to be everyone's favorite couple.

Axel shivered unpleasantly. He subtly ignored them, sticking out his tongue.

It seemed to give them ideas. Horrible ideas.

Thankfully, the bell rang.

Axel bolted from the room, missing the 'wet floor' sign and skidding across the hall, dodging students and faculty alike. He shrieked, finally slamming head first into the wall. His body jolted, shuddering, when indescribable pain coursed through his abused limbs.

"Do you need some help?"

Roxas was staring down at him again, with such clear, bored eyes. Of fucking course it was Roxas, because the higher powers totally enjoyed ripping on him and making him look like an idiot in front of the other boy at any moment. Axel's jaw dropped, because what the hell! This can't be right! Speak, idiot, speaki!

"Nah, I've got it. Don't you have somewhere to be kid?" Axel glowered at the smaller boy, who narrowed his eyes in annoyance and anger.

"Fine, jerk! I thought I'd help you, but obviously I was just wasting my time." The disgruntled blond stormed off. Axel stood there, feeling stupid and lost, and rubbing the stain on his pants from the floor.

"Damn."

But just then, he got an idea.

And smirked for all he was worth. Not two feet from him was Roxas's cell that he had conveniently dropped, sitting innocently on the tiled floor without a dent or scratch on it. Axel bent down to pick it up, smiling.

TBC...

Everyone has to do at least one Kingdom Hearts high school AU fic. I'm sorry, but it's basically required. But this is different... sort of. Mwha. Yaay! And I'm a sucker for the Axel is a loser and has no friends, but lame friends. It makes me smile
