Note: Sorry! This is probably one of the shortest chapters but I really wanted to get something out for you guys. Thanks for everyone who reviewed. I love getting them. They make me feel special :) Anyways, If there is anything fun you'd like to see happen in this story just let me know and I'll try to incorporate it. I have the basic plot but if you added your ideas I could make the chapters longer and more entertaining for you. Again sorry if this chapter is complete crap.
Disclaimer: Kingdom Hearts was way too creative for me to invent.
Warnings: Marluxia bashing...
The next few classes passed and yet all that was echoing through my head was Zexion's words and those violent green eyes.
But you'd know that wouldn't you.
I shook my head but by the time I started my French exercises, class was over.
You think you can just waltz in here and do my job?
I sighed. Math was next but as I walked into class I remembered too late that Axel was here. I trudged past aisles of desks and sat in my seat quietly hoping to not be heard. Silently praying to be ignored the whole class.
Unfortunately I was never a lucky child. It seems that as soon as my butt hit the plastic Axel swung around from the person he was talking to and fixed me with a hard stare as I took out my calculator.
"You left." I rolled my eyes at his obvious statement but nodded none the less.
"Why?" he questioned, tilting his head to the side. I shrugged, avoiding his gaze. He put his hand on my shoulder. I kept an intent look aimed at the board as though actually interested in learning about logarithmic equations. I knew most of it anyway.
"Answer me." He demanded not unkindly.
"Are you stupid?" I asked bluntly turning my head but still avoiding the deep green. "Your friend tried to choke me."
"Well, Marly's just that kind of guy. Plus he didn't have his meds." He assured me waving his hand as though it was an everyday occurrence. I looked at him doubtfully finally meeting his eyes but they were tilted upwards as though in thought. And as he spoke I could see they were laced with confusion and concern.
"He's normally the one to…" He paused, thinking of how to word it. "Stop your unfocused rage?" I supplied while taking notes from the board. "Yeah…sort of."
"Well if that's his 'job', as he puts it, he certainly wasn't doing it back there." I replied logically.
Axel shifted uncomfortably, "Are you always this forward?" I shrugged. "Am I? I hadn't noticed." He squirmed again, "Well Marly normally shuts me up differently." Looking at him quizzically I asked "How so?" His eyes darted around the room for a distraction. The room seemed to be too getting too hot for him as he shifted in discomfort. I raised an eyebrow. "You don't have to answer." I said as I began to doodle on my worksheet.
He relaxed but still looked uncomfortable for the remainder of class.
The bell rang as I gathered my things and stood for the door. "Wait" Axel said hastily as he attempted to shove everything in his bag in one disorganized heap. "We'll go to lunch together."
I immediately frowned as I noticed the table we were heading for. Zexion was seated reading the same novel as this morning while Demyx talked animatedly to Marluxia whose eyes brightened for a split second before laying on me and narrowing dangerously. I braced myself for one hell of a lunch.
The table fell silent as I sat between Demyx and Axel and across from Marluxia whose body language practically screamed fuck off. I nibbled at a carrot stick feeling oddly like a rabbit. Zexion put his book down, smirking as though he knew something was about to start. Marluxia's eyes flashed angrily between Axel and I. "Why's he here?" he asked as though disgusted by my presence. "Look I'll just leave…" I offered.
"No. Stay." Axel said, fed up with this already. "Yeah. Stay, Roxas. Enjoy our company. Or are we just too good for you?" Marluxia countered. "Excuse me?" I asked feeling my anger rising. Axel stood, "Marly, what's your deal man? Roxas is a nice guy, just leave him alone."
Marluxia stood "Are you implying that I'm not a nice guy?" I raised an eyebrow. As to how he reached that conclusion was just illogical to me.
"Can't we just be friends?" I ask, unsure as to why this was an argument. That of course started everything. "No!" Marluxia shouted as he dove for me but Axel was quickly there to block him. Punches were being thrown and the Cafeteria jeered as I quietly, once again collected my things this time fleeing to the bathroom. Axel dropped Marluxia from his battered state and followed me.
We entered the bathroom. He locked the door behind him.
"Look. Stop tearing apart your friends just so I can have some." I spat angrily turning around. "It's not worth it, getting suspended is not worth it and I am certainly not worth it."
He just smiled at me as he leaned against the wall. I could see a small bruise forming above his left eye from the short fight. Marluxia was probably far worse off. "You're not tearing us apart. Geez Roxy, you make everything so dramatic," I rolled my eyes. "I like to think of it as the official kick-out-marly party." I frowned. "Kick him out?"
"Yeah, that bastard was only good to have around because he could calm me down. Otherwise he was a right ass if I do say so myself." Axel looked rather proud.
"Besides," He continued as he cornered me between the wall and the bathroom stall, "You're much cuter." He whispered in my ear, pinning my hands up near my head. I blushed furiously, my head was swimming and I could barely think straight. "Axel…" I could feel myself say distantly. He let go smiling wider now from my reaction. "See you in class Roxy." I must have looked real confused because Axel just chuckled as he left the bathroom.
Extra Note: I really do love Marluxia! I promise! I just thought he would be a good 'evil' character.
