Airplanes

Roxas let a tired sigh as his alarm blared the music from the radio.

'Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars.

I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now.'

Fuming with the truth the song spoke about his life, not that the singers knew, the blonde clumsily slammed his hand down on the alarm clock. The last few words still hung in the air like rain clouds looming over. He really could use a wish, but shooting stars seemed to be in high demand. Most would have loved to have his life that he was so sick and tired of. Most would have sold their soul to the bloody devil if they could just have a taste of the fame and glory. The problem was that no one realized that there was a high price to pay for such things as fame and fortune. It was why he moved away from Britain to Washington, a place where no one would ever dream of finding him.

His parents took a great deal of convincing to let him leave, after all, it was mostly because of him that they had such a picture perfect life style. If it wasn't for his older brother, Cloud, he would still be in Britain being followed everywhere he went. All he wanted was to go to a regular university where hopefully no one knew who he was and live a normal life for once. How Jesse McCarthy, and the Beever kid could deal with everything was beyond him. He was just as young when he started out and one of the few that actually had fame continue to follow him like a damn shadow, even when he did take a year long break from singing.

That year was his senior year of high school, and probably the biggest mistake of his life. As if he could ever have a normal life now. Not after having his own face glare down at him everywhere he turned in Britain. It was why he had to go somewhere where people didn't know him, where he was just a nobody again. Thankfully, the fame monster and paparazzi didn't follow him to the US just yet, but it was only a matter of time. Like that time he went on vacation with his parents to Euro Disney. Even though they had tried to keep it hush, hush, the greedy little goblins with their soul sucking flashes found them. How he wished that he never was fucking Roxas Strife.

Shaking his head to forget the parts of his life he hated, the blonde got out of bed to take a shower. It was always one of the better part of his day since it was so relaxing. He could sing as loud as he wanted knowing no one would hear only to beg for more. Normally he would sing songs from the radio, but today for whatever odd reason he was singing Disney songs. There was always one song that really seemed make wonder if he wasn't the only one out there in the same situation. It was the pop version of Reflection from Mulan. More than ever it was how he felt now because he feared that if he was himself, that everyone would discover who he really was.

Fresh tears mingled with the water and glided down the drain to be forgotten until tomorrow. It was moments like these that took the relaxing feeling out of his morning showers. There wouldn't come often, but occasionally they did which only meant the beginning of a bad day. The last time he had his morning start out like this, some of the junior and senior college students thought it would be funny to throw water balloons at him. If they knew who he was, they would have never even dreamed of doing that, but that was also the price of being normal and truthfully, he would rather be normal.

A sigh escaped his lips as he got out of the shower using the towel to dry himself off. It was twenty minutes until his first class which was plenty of time since his dorm was close to his first class. He threw his clothes on, and grabbed his bag of books, something that was now second nature to him. Just like every morning he would stop by the campus cafeteria for breakfast which was on his way to class then meet Olette, Hayner and Pence outside the dorms before they went to their music theory class. Olette wants to be a singer, Pence wants to be a composer and Hayner wants to be a guitarist. Roxas, he was in it just to fill some G.E. requirements and figured music theory would be an easy way to go. He was horrid at art, even toddlers could draw better than him. Dance was something he was okay at, but he had read horrible things about the class. So he was left with music, something he actually knew something about.

"Morning," the brunette with two pigtails said with a smile that could break up the clouds. "You ready for that astronomy test we have tonight?"

"Not really," Roxas admitted with a nervous chuckle. It was because they shared many G.E. classes that they four of them became friends in the first place.

"I hate tests," Hayner complained rubbing his eyes looking very disheveled like every morning. Especially today because it was a Friday and apparently Thursdays became the new party night.

"That's because you never study," Pence snickered, "Don't worry, you know we'll all help you out."

"What would I do without you guys?" the tired blond yawned.

"Probably flunk out of college," the black haired boy grinned.

"Hey," Hayner frowned, "I made it through high school and got accepted here. I'm not that stupid."

"Roxas," Olette frowned, "Are you okay? You see kind of out of it." Roxas blinked a few times not realizing he had been spacing out looking up at the cloud covered sky. Originally when he came to the university he applied to major in biology like almost everyone in the US, but two weeks into the quarter he realized that he would like to do astronomy instead.

"Sorry," Roxas said with a small smile, "I was just trying to imagine what the sky would look like with the northern lights. They say that on Wednesday or Thursday we'll be able to see them."

"I remember the professor's assistant saying something about that!" the brunette giggled bouncing up and down in excitement. "I really hope we can see them, it would be beautiful."

"It's just lights in the sky," Hayner argued not really caring about it. "Now the mysteries of the Twilight town is much more interesting if you ask me."

"You mean Forks?" Pence laughed, "Just because it is used in that Twilight saga doesn't mean it really has vampires."

"Oh really?" Hayner frowned putting his hands on his hips, "And what about all the weird things going on there?"

"It's from them shooting the movie," Pence smiled.

"That's just what they want you to think," Hayner whispered looking completely serious.

"I think you just want to see Robert Patterson," Olette teased, "Do we have a in the closet Twilighter?"

"How could you say that?" Hayner gagged pretending to be throwing up. "That crap is for girls."

"Maybe you're a Taylor fan?" the black haired student laughed, "I bet you're wearing a team Jacob shirt underneath your wannabe army clothes."

"We can talk about this on the way to class," Olette suggested, "Otherwise we are going to be late." The four friends nodded in agreement knowing that their music theory teacher wasn't the going to let them in. She was one of those professors that locks the door right when class is supposed to start that way anyone who is late won't interrupt her.

They were running through the sea of students trying to get to class as well which made it feel like a fish swimming upstream. Roxas groaned as he started to fall behind and picked up his pace, but in order to do so he thought it would be a good idea to close his eyes. The only thing he remembered after that was falling on his butt with something wet and hot on his shirt.

"Well at least it is hot water," chuckled a voice about the blonde. "Here, let me help you up."

Roxas saw a hand offered to him and followed the arm to see who it belonged to. It was the redheaded assistant from his astronomy class which only made matter worse because the person actually knew who he was, or not. After all, the class was a lecture class that had a good handful of students in it.

"Thank you," Roxas replied as he took the older man's hand that helped him up. "I'm sorry, but I am running late to class." Without another word he picked up his bag and made a mad dash to catch up to his friends.

The four of them made it right before Professor Caesura closed the doors, but they didn't avoid the agitated look in her eyes.

"Good morning class," Professor Caesura said in her sing song voice. Apparently she had once been a professional singer and retired so she could teach music. How she could have such a warm comforting voice yet a cold hard exterior would forever remain a mystery. Her deep amber eyes landed on Roxas for a brief second as she turned to the white board with music staffs on it. Her strawberry red hair was up in a bun as usual and her half rimmed glasses hung loosely around her neck.

"Now," the strawberry red haired professor said demanding complete attention. "We are going to have a pop quiz. I will give you a selection and you will have to sing or whistle it." Her high heels clacked against the hard linoleum as she walked to the computer she had set up flipping a few switches so the projector showed the four bars she wanted the first person to sing. "Roxas Strife you're first."

"Professor," Roxas sighed, "I can't sing or whistle."

"Pish posh," Professor Caesura replied waving her hand absentmindedly up and down. "Anyone can who knows their intervals and chords can do it. Now, sing this piece for me."

"And if I refuse?" the blonde student asked not wanting to sing in front of everyone knowing exactly what would happen if he did.

"You fail this quiz," the professor simply stated, "if you at least try you get an automatic C. What will it be Mr. Strife?"

Roxas let out a frustrated sigh knowing that if he didn't do the quiz she would be even harder on him later. From what he heard from students that previously had her, if he didn't try she would give him singing lessons so he could pass the rest of the pop quizzes. He scanned the music memorizing it in a heartbeat then closed his eyes pretending he was alone in the room. Once he convinced himself that there was no one in the room, he sang what his professor wanted him to without a single flaw.

Deathly silence filled the room as all eyes watched the blonde go pale knowing what was coming next. It was just a simple little music test much like this that started his career. Without a word he grabbed his bags and darted out of the classroom disturbing the silence that would soon be all conversations about him. He should have just failed the test and explained everything to her, but there was that itchy feeling that she already knew. So distraught over what had just happened, the blonde took a corner quickly not even paying attention and ended up running into someone. He let out a huff as he fell to the ground, his music theory papers flying everywhere.

"Hey are you okay?" asked a voice that seemed vaguely familiar. Roxas looked up to see the red haired assistant from his astronomy class holding out a hand. He took the redhead's hand and got up brushing off some dirt from his pants. It was because of the older student that he enjoyed astronomy so much since Professor Sualocin just had the redhead named Axel teach most of the time.

"Sorry, I didn't see you. Besides, you were coming around that corner like a madman." the older male said with a small smile. "Do you run into people often?" He recalled earlier when the blonde had run into him and managed to spill hot water on both of them. A small laugh escaped his lips when he thought about how he was just coming from the bathroom after somewhat managing to dry himself off from the earlier disaster.

"Sorry," Roxas replied looking down at the ground. "I just had to use the bathroom." Axel raised a questioning eyebrow knowing that the blonde was lying to him, but then again, it wasn't really his business. All he knew about the kid was that he was in the astronomy class, the class that somehow the redhead was now teaching. God how he hated to get stuck with Professor Sualocin. He quickly helped the blonde pick up the scattered papers in an awkward silence.

"I guess I'll see you tonight in astronomy, Roxas." Axel grinned as he handed Roxas the rest of the papers and waved goodbye. "Don't run into any more people." Was the last thing he shouted before disappearing around the corner.

Roxas watched the redhead leave unknowing of the small blush spreading across his face. It was amazing that the redhead actually remembered who he was, yet alone his name. After all, it was a big class since it was the G.E. lecture. Never before was he more excited for the astronomy lecture, so excited he had forgotten about his problems in his music theory class.

~0~

The sky was now a dark blanket covering the earth on this moonless night, clouds handing overhead. The only light there was tonight was from man made lights since the stars were hazy with sick clouds in front of them. Roxas let out a sigh knowing that they weren't going to go star gazing tonight for obvious reasons, but that wasn't the only thing that was bothering him. His frustration about what happened in his music theory class had returned after Olette, Hayner and Pence got out of class, but his three friends were the least of his worries now. It seemed that word had traveled faster than a wildfire around campus about his singing, which was a grand total of 10 seconds long. He wondered how things like this always seemed to happen to him when he wasn't even trying to stand out. Maybe it was just a Strife thing because people seemed to follow them around like moths to a light. He began to wonder if going to school was even such a good idea or better yet, taking a music theory class. He felt that he should have known better since a music theory class would obviously require some kind of singing. A gentle tap on the blonde's shoulder interrupted his thoughts as he looked over to see his three friends walking beside him.

"Hey," Olette smiled putting her hands behind her back and leaning forward. "You must have been thinking really hard about something. We were yelling your name and you didn't even notice."

"Or he is just deaf," Hayner offered with a playful grin.

"Sorry," Roxas sighed, "I've just had a lot on my mind."

"Since what happened in music theory, right." Pence commented. "You know we aren't going to bother you about that anymore."

"It's not you guys," the the shorter blonde sighed, "It's everyone else. Besides, there is something I should probably tell you anyways." He didn't want to tell them his secret, but they were his friends and they had a right to know. Of course when it came down to it, he didn't have a choice because it was either tell them himself, or let them find out from someone else, namely the paparazzi. Somehow, he felt that his little 10 second song wouldn't stay contained within the school. It was only a matter of time before someone found out who he really was.

"You don't have to if you don't want to." The brunette brightly smiled as she looked up at the cloudy night sky, "Everyone has secrets."

"Oh hush Olette," the brown eyed blonde said rolling his eyes, "If Rox wants to tell us something then let him. We are friends anyways. What are friends for if not to tell all of you dark secrets to?" He gave the other blonde a thumbs up and a corny looking smile. "Go ahead and let the monster out of the closet."

"I'm not gay Hayner," Roxas frowned knowing that was what Hayner was asking. "Not like you with your crazy boyfriend Seifer." Yes, he really was gay, but not even his family knew that just yet. Bloody hell, he wasn't all that sure himself for the matter of fact. Never before had he been in love or had a crush so he wouldn't know what it would even feel like, but every time he saw his red haired 'professor' he would get all kinds of weird feelings. There was just something about Axel that fascinated him and always left him wishing to see the man again.

"Ignore him," the black haired boy laughed, "What is it that you want to tell us Roxas?"

"You have to promise not to tell anyone," Roxas demanded moving in front of his friends so that they would stop. "No one can know what I'm about to tell you."

"Geeze Rox," Hayner frowned raising an eyebrow, "What are you an alien or something?"

"No," the shorter blonde sighed, "I'm a famous singer back in Britain. I got sick of everything so I came to the states so I could go to college like a normal person. Although now, I don't know how long it will be until they find me again."

"I guess it makes sense," Pence replied with a small nod. "But don't worry Roxas, you're secret is safe with us."

"No matter what we'll be your friends," Olette grinned with her hands on her hips.

"And if that means fighting off the evil paparazzi then we will," Hayner laughed, "I wasn't the struggle champion for nothing."

"Thanks guys," Roxas smiled, "I feel so much better now that is off my chest."

"You know," the taller blonde grinned as he wrapped his arm around Roxas' shoulders, "We could start our own band. That would be kind of cool ya know."

"After college maybe," the shorter blonde replied, "But you have to understand Hayner, fame isn't as glorious as you might think it is. It's a lot of work, very lonely and you have no privacy. Believe me, I've lived it."

"Okay Okay," Hayner replied with a few nods, "I was just kidding because you know we could never have two girly voices in a band." he said in a teasing tone with a jester smile.

"You're such a jerk!" Roxas laughed as he pushed his friend away.

"Last one to astronomy is a rotten egg!" Olette yelled as she darted off before she could even finish her statement. The four friends pushed and shoved each other all the way to the astronomy classroom and all trying to fit through the door with little success until they fell onto each other in a fit of laughter.

"I guess that makes us all rotten eggs," Pence snickered as he stood up brushing himself off. "But I think Roxas was the last to fall into the classroom."

"I was not!" the blue eyed blonde playfully argued. "Look, Hayner's foot is still sticking out so I guess that makes him the rotten egg!"

"I say it was a tie!" Hayner exclaimed with a smile, "That means none of us are rotten eggs!"

"I suggest you get to your seats," Professor Sualocin said with a stern look, "and no childish behavior during class." Without even letting them answer he briskly walked pass the four friends to the front of the lecture hall to set up his computer, grumbling about it the entire time. The four friends looked at each other in bewilderment wondering why Professor Sualocin wasn't with Axel tonight. Not wanting to get on their professor's bad side they quietly took their seats watching the gray haired man connect his computer to the overhead projector. The older man tapped his fingers impatiently on the table waiting for his computer to boot.

"Where do you think Axel is?" Roxas whispered to Olette.

"I don't know," the brunette replied, "I mean he really is just an assistant so it's not like he's required to teach all the classes. Maybe something came up and he couldn't make it."

"Maybe he is sick," Pence offered slightly leaning over Olette, "I heard some nasty flu has been going around. Why do you think I've been drinking orange juice for the past week?"

"He didn't look sick when I ran into him earlier," the shorter blonde replied with a frown. The main reason he liked coming to astronomy was because of Axel and now he wasn't there. He really hoped the redhead wasn't sick with the flu that Pence was talking about because from what he heard it was pretty bad and most people were sick for a week.

"Or maybe he met someone and is having hot..." Hayner started but didn't get to finish due to the professor clearing his throat demanding attention and a nice smack on the back of his head from Olette.

"Now," Professor Sualocin started looking around the lecture all to make sure no one was talking. "My assistant Axel said he would not be able to make it today due to illness or something. So today I will be teaching the lecture and unlike my assistant I do not tolerate talking, cell phones, or anything else that makes a noise. Also, you may not use your laptops because knowing the way you college students are you'll be on your faceweb or tweetter or whatever other stupid website you have these days. So turn your cell phones and laptops off and get out a good piece of paper and a pencil."

A girl towards the front raised her hand waiting for permission to speak. Professor Sualocin sneered as he looked over her punk style, "What is it?"

"What if we don't have paper or a pencil?" the girl asked crossing her arms as if she was challenging him.

"Then get out of my class for not being prepared!" the old man shouted pointing a slender towards one of the doors. "I do not like when people aren't prepared for class!" The girl just rolled her eyes, grabbed her laptop and left without even a second thought. Roxas watched the girl leave deciding he didn't want to deal with this old man's anger issues either.

"Roxas what are you doing?" Olette demanded in a hushed whisper.

"I don't want to deal with this cranky old man," Roxas simply stated before leaving the lecture hall heading back to the dorms. He knew he probably wouldn't be missing much and it was such a large class that professor grumpy pants probably wouldn't even know who he was. That was unless he took roll which was highly unlikely considering the man seemed to hate having to teach in general.

Roxas let out a heavy sigh hating the fact that he walked all the way to the lecture hall for no reason at all. If it was a shorter walk he probably wouldn't have minded, but it was clear across campus which was the second most irritating thing to him at the moment. The one that took the icing on the cake was the fact that Axel wasn't there and was sick. He was so lost in thought that he didn't notice someone in front of him causing him to run straight into the person and ending with falling on his own butt.

"Hey watch were," the voice of a man said before stopping. "Oh, it's you again. Got a thing for running into people?" The blonde looked up to see a hand offered to him and took it without looking to see who it was.

"Thanks," Roxas replied, "but I don't know..." his question was cut short when he finally realized who had run into. There was no reason to even ask his question because this was the second time he had run into Axel today. He could feel the blush run rabid across his face as he looked away trying to pathetically hide it vaguely wondering if his face was redder than the redhead's hair.

"Isn't time for astronomy?" Axel sniffled bringing a tissue to blow his rudolph red nose. "What are you doing out of class?"

"You're sick," the younger male frowned putting his hands on his hips, "why aren't you in bed? You're only going to make it worse being out here in the cold."

"I was just running to the store to get some medicine." the redhead admitted with a lopsided smile on his feverish pale face. He held up a small bag from one of the convenience stores on campus to offer as proof. "What are you? My mother?"

"No," the blonde huffed blowing some stray hairs out of his face. "but you're sick and need to be scolded for not taking care of yourself."

"Never thought I would be scolded by my student," Axel laughed causing him to go into a coughing fit.

"First," Roxas sighed, "I not really your student. Second, we need to get you to rest. Where is your dorm?"

"I live off campus in an apartment." the older male managed to say between coughs and gasps for air. This made the blonde roll his eyes as he grabbed Axel's hand dragging him towards his dorm. He didn't even think about what he was doing since the only thought in his mind was to make sure that Axel wasn't going to get worse.

"My dorm is closer," Roxas explained when he saw the confused look on the redhead's face. "Besides, it looks like you're going to pass out right now."

Axel just let the younger male drag him to the third floor of one of the dorm buildings wondering what in the world the blonde's dorm mate was going to say about this. He shook his head as he tried to make his feverish thoughts rationalize about how he shouldn't be letting this happen at all. That was until they entered one of the few single dorms that only the richest of students could afford. It was like having an on campus apartment, much more expensive, but more convenient than an off campus one.

Roxas thought it was weird how close he actually was to his dorm considering the fact that the lecture hall was clear across campus. That only meant that he was once again lost in thought oblivious to the world, like always. Thankfully he was one of the few people that didn't have to share a dorm, mainly because he was rich and didn't want to deal with anyone else. The only thing that he was thankful for from the life he left behind. He dragged the redhead into the dorm before shutting the door behind him.

"Now lay down," Roxas demanded as he went to the kitchen to make some chicken noodle soup.

"Hey," Axel sighed grabbing the younger male's wrist before he had a chance to disappear into the kitchen, "I appreciate you caring, but I can take care of myself."

"If you could take care of yourself you wouldn't be sick, now would you?" the blonde retorted feeling angry that the redhead was sick for a reason unknown to him.

"Why are you angry with me?" Axel asked sniffling a bit from his runny nose. "Everyone gets sick. Besides, we hardly even know each other. What's your deal?" Truthfully, he didn't really mind because he thought the younger male was cute which was why he had let himself be dragged to the dorm. That and he was too dizzy to even realize he was being dragged somewhere until he was in the dorm. but he knew better than to try to get close. For one thing they were kind of student and teacher even though he wasn't really supposed to be a teacher just yet. The other thing was that he had no idea of knowing if the blonde was attracted to other males and that was the scariest.

"I... I..." Roxas stuttered trying to think of a logical reason and failing to once again hide his blush by turning to the side. "I am angry because I had to deal with Professor Sualocin!" he shouted when he finally figured out something logical to say and pulled his wrist away from the taller male. "Now go rest so I can make you some chicken noodle soup."

Axel could tell there was no room for argument so he just watched the blonde disappear into the kitchen with a heavy sigh. His green eyes glanced at the door trying to determine his best chance for escape, but he doubted he'd make it far. His fever was making him feel dizzier by the second which only made his stomach upset as if he had just gotten off a roller coaster. With another heavy sigh he found the closest chair to sit in so he could rest his head on his cool hands. A small pressure on his shoulder made he jolt up in shock due to him forgetting where he was and who was with him. A cool hand was placed on his forehead followed by a sigh.

"Your fever is worse than I thought," the blonde frowned setting down the bowl of chicken noodle soup on a nearby table. "Let's get you to bed." He helped the redhead up and slowly made their way to the bed. When Axel was in the bed Roxas took off his shoes and covered him with the blanket. He watched the redhead fall asleep the moment his head hit the pillow. He went to go get a wet towel in hopes of bringing down the fever.

Roxas looked at himself in the mirror as he wet a hand towel as he tried to calm himself down. When he saw that the older male was sick it made him so worried as if someone from his family was sick. Nothing made sense to him at the moment and things seemed to be spiraling out of control as if he was caught in a tornado. Not only was he confused about the way Axel made him feel, but there was the fear that the life he left behind might find him soon. It scared him of what the redhead would think of him then and he wasn't entirely sure his friends even believed what he said to them earlier. Shaking his head, he squeezed out the excess water from the hand towel and went back to the bedroom. A smiled tugged at the corners of his lips when he looked at Axel still sound asleep only to remember that he was still sick. Gently, he placed the cool towel on the sleeping man's forehead feeling a strange stirring in his stomach. He studied the redhead's face carefully taking in everything and thinking about how handsome he was.

Ever since the beginning of the semester, from the moment Axel had stepped through the lecture hall door, Roxas couldn't tear his eyes away from him. Everything about the astronomy assistant was interesting from his happy go lucky personality all the way to his fiery red hair. Sure he had met many people and seen every kind of style known to man, but never before had he seen or met someone like Axel. The man was just... fascinating to the blonde.

A knock at the door interrupted his thoughts and he didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing. It was good because his thoughts were running loose, but it was bad because he felt he was starting to understand he felt so weird around the redhead. A groan escaped his lips and he made his way to the door wondering who it could possibly be. He had to stand on the tips of his toes in order to look through the peep hole to see three familiar faces staring back at him.

Roxas let out a soft chuckle knowing he should have expected them to find him after class to have him explain why he left in the first place. Of course he already knew what he was going to tell them since he really didn't like Professor Sualocin. That wasn't the entire truth, but it would work until he had time to figure out what he was feeling. Quietly, he opened the door to let his three friends come in and hoping they wouldn't be too loud. Well, it was mainly Hayner he was worried about because that boy seemed to have no volume control.

"Hey are you okay?" Olette asked in her motherly way as she placed a hand on the shorter blonde's forehead. "That's the second time you've run out of class today."

"I'm fine," Roxas said batting away the brunette girl's hand. "It's just a crazy day that's all. And I just didn't want to end it with that old crack pot."

"Or he was just upset that eye candy Axel wasn't there," Hayner snickered as he poked the other blonde's blush covered cheek.

"You're disgusting Hayner," Pence said shaking his head.

"Come on!" Hayner shouted, "He is even blushing!" He pointed to the pink tinted cheeks of Roxas with a grin.

"Be quiet" Roxas demanded in a whisper, "They can probably hear you all the way on the other side of campus." He knew his blonde friend was going to start picking on him about liking Axel which might actually be true. Although that was the least of his worries since he just wanted to makes sure the redhead wasn't awakened.

"Do you really like him?" the black haired boy asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I..." the shorter blonde groaned trying to think of something that would get him out of the hole that he just dug himself into, but he didn't see any way out. "I just think he's interesting... I mean, have you ever seen someone with such bright red hair and bright green eyes?"

"He probably colors his hair," Pence suggested with a small shrug of his shoulders, "and maybe wears contacts. A lot of people do it here in the states Roxas."

Olette just continued to smile at Roxas which made him somewhat uncomfortable wondering what in the world was going through her head. All of them knew she only smiled like that when she was formulating some kind of plan in her head. Looks were definitely deceiving when dealing with Olette, because she was mostly sweet and bubbly. However, when she had a plan to do something there was no way to stop her. The three boys remembered very well what she was capable of when she wanted to be and a shiver when up their spines.

"Olette," Pence whispered, "What are you planning?"

"Nothing," the girl smiled a little too sweetly, "I just think that Hayner might actually be right about something." Roxas felt the blood drain from his face and a bad feeling in his stomach because he had a pretty good idea of what Olette was planning. He knew it would probably involve going on a date or something with Axel, but the worst part was that his friends didn't even know the redhead was asleep in the bedroom right now. He couldn't even imagine the horrible thoughts his friends would think if they knew even if he told them the entire story.

"Come on Rox," Hayner smiled giving Roxas a soft punch on the arm. "It's not so bad. It's not like he's the first one you've ever had a crush on." There was such a silence that if a pin was dropped, they would have heard it. "Tell me you've had a crush before." There was another pause of awkward silence as three pairs of eyes stared at the shorter blonde. Roxas didn't know what else to do so he just shook his head trying to replay everything that had just taken place in the past few minutes.

"Are you serious?" the black haired boy asked completely stunned. Even he had a crush when he was little on the girl standing next to him. Little did he know back then that she would actually become his girlfriend later and attending the same college he went to.

"Don't worry Roxas," Olette smiled with her hands behind her back. "we'll help you. That's what friends are for. But first we'll have to wait for Axel to get better." She gave Roxas a little wink before heading to the door while rounding up the other two friends, "We'll see you tomorrow." The four friends waved goodbye as three of them closed the dorm door behind them.

Roxas smacked himself on the forehead and let the hand slid down his face. It seemed that his friends knew him better than even himself which was kind of scary since his twin brother Sora was like that too. Tomorrow he would have to call Sora and ask for some advice as to what to do because when it came to the whole dating thing, he was clueless. That was of course if he could get ahold of his twin considering his twin was always busy teaching at his dojo.

His blue eyes glanced at the clock that glared the bright numbers of 21:00, much later than he thought it was. With a sigh he figured he would go check on Axel one last time before heading to bed and sleeping on the small sofa that was in his dorm. When he went into the bedroom he noticed that the wet towel he had placed on the redhead's forehead had fallen off onto the floor. A frown plagued the blonde's face as he picked it up and headed towards the bathroom cool the towel down again. When he was done with that he went back to the bedroom and placed the towel back on the redhead's forehead.

Roxas smiled and went to his closet to pull out an extra blanket and pillow before going back to the living room. With a yawn he plopped himself onto the cream colored sofa and dosed off to sleep without another thought of the day.

A/N: Okay, I know I have disappeared for a long time and shouldn't be starting another story but I am. It was originally supposed to be a one-shot for Lifeless_heartless, but now it is going to be a story instead. I really hope Lifeless_heartless doesn't kill me when I don't update it. 'hides under a rock'

Anyways, it this was inspired by 'Airplanes' by B.O.B hence the name and the song at the beginning... the I got sick last week, like really sick and that's why Axel is sick... Don't ask. My life is crazy and I was working on this instead of doing homework...and my teacher is going to kill me... maybe...

Besides all that, hope you enjoy and just to let you all know. I am working on my other stories too, I swear! It's just I kind of got distracted from them.

Until next time! 'disappears in a poof of smoke for dramatic exit purposes.'
