Summary: At Destined Twilight Junior High, nine friends live in a town called Twilight Town. These friends are considered "losers" to the school, and only have a few other friends. The leader of the group, Axel Flame, must now realize that he should never care about what others say, but what he thinks.

Author's Note: Please don't flame anything in this. It's also kind of my situation. My friends in school represent certain members of the group in the fanfic. Some characters, due to this, will be OOC. The story also focuses on Axel.

Chapter 1- A Normal Friday

I never really thought I would feel connected to the same sex. I only wish I wasn't afraid to show it out in public…

"Now students, open your books to page 246 and we will read out loud."

Groans of disapproval sounded and books slammed open, pages flipping.

World History has always been Axel Flame's least favorite subject, but he wasn't too bad in it. He always got good grades in it, no matter what. Maybe it was because it was so boring to him. He let a sigh escape that was louder than the rest of the noise, receiving a glare from the teacher. "Well, Mr. Flame," she raised her voice loud enough so the classroom would shush, "since you obviously want to read, why don't you start off first."

Chuckling was heard around the room, all eyes on Axel. He glared at all of them, except for his friends. They weren't laughing. They never would laugh at him.

"Yes, ma'am," the red-head replied dully and began reading. He soon realized that the subject today was actually exciting. It was about a war that broke out all over the universe over these things called 'keyblades'. While he read, he wondered to himself what it would be like to have one, so he could beat his worse enemy and rival, Saix Diviner. They had been rivals since they met in first grade. Saix was popular, strong, and everyone around the school loved him, despite the fact he was a trouble maker. But, what Axel hated the most was that he never got caught.

One time, in fourth grade, they had gotten into a big fight. Saix had gone up to him and just socked him. Axel, for self-defense, punched him back. This raged on and on, until a teacher came out and separated the two, but he saw Axel throw the last hit. Saix was just sent to clinic, while Axel got suspended for three days. To this day, Saix and his gang mock Axel for that.

He read two full pages, and then the teacher called on a silver-haired boy, "Riku Shadow, why don't you read?"

The teenager nodded and picked up where Axel left off. Now that Axel didn't have to keep his nose in his book, he surveyed the room for someone. Finally, he eyes laid on the boy sitting in the row next to him, two seats up. His head was bent down, reading. Axel tended to daydream about this kid a lot, even though he was a boy. Axel didn't care, though. He kept his thoughts to himself mostly, but opened them up to his closest friends. The blonde mullet-haired boy he was staring at, though, was one of his closest friends. He never did admit to him that he loved him, though. He was scared of what would happen. He defiantly didn't want to lose the only friends he had.

After more people read, the bell for lunch finally rang. Everyone jumped out of their seats, gathered their things, and left the classroom. It was Friday, so they didn't have any homework.

Axel's friends waited in the hall for him. "That was actually a cool section," a brunette, Marluxia Oblivion exclaimed, standing next to his girlfriend, Larxene Savage. "I mean, keyblades… who would've thought!" Everyone chuckled at his statement. They walked outside to the lunch picnic tables and sat down at them. It was a rather beautiful looking day in Twilight Town. A couple clouds were here and there, but nothing much was about in the sky.

"Hey, guys!" A younger voice greeted the group. Roxas Key was walking with his girlfriend, Namine Memory. They were a grade younger than the rest of their friends. Axel, his crush Demyx Nocturne, Marluxia, Larxene, Vexen Academic, Zexion Schemer, and Lexaeus Tomahawk were all in eighth grade, while Roxas and Namine were in seventh. Seventh grade at Destined Twilight Junior High was the lowest, while eighth was the highest.

Roxas and Namine took their seats at the table. Lunch hour was their favorite, because they could sit and talk for a whole hour.

Zexion groaned loudly, rolling his deep blue eyes. "I've got Algebra next…" he slumped slightly, laying his chin on the table. He snapped his head up suddenly, and reached for his lunch bag. Opening it up, he exclaimed, "Who wants pudding?"

"What kind is it?" Lexaeus, who was sitting next to him, questioned.

The blue-haired boy looked at it carefully, "Uh… I think it's banana," he shrugged.

Lexaeus smiled and held out his hand to take it. Zexion, his face a slight rose color, handed the container of banana pudding to his friend. Reaching in his lunchbox, the older teen grabbed a spoon and began eating it.

"Algebra is better than English," Vexen sighed, "I wish I had Science today. Mr. Kobylik promised us a good lesson for today."

Axel looked around, "Well, I'd rather have anything than Gym," he explained as he cracked his knuckles and adjusted his finger gloves. He really liked them because they had a fire symbol on them. Everyone said his element was probably fire.

Namine looked at him with deep, caring eyes, "Well, just avoid Saix. I know you'll be able too."

Axel softly snorted, "Sorry, Namine… but my softball team is facing against his today… maybe I'll throw the ball right at his face… Or the bat," he threw his head back, letting at a single "ha!"

"Axel, I know you hate him," the little pout-like voice made his eyes widen and his face turn red as his head was still back, "but you don't need to be so violent and hurtful."

I'm so glad my hair's red, he thought, 'cause they can't tell if I'm blushing. He lowered his head so he could look directly in front of him, right at Demyx. Sure enough, the little pout-frown was crossed on his face, his eyes on Axel. "Well, uh, Demyx, I… um… he usually starts with me, Demyx! You know that," he turned his gaze down a bit so he wouldn't meet the blonde's beautiful blue sapphires.

"It's fair! Run!"

A blonde haired boy named Tidus ran off to first base. The baseman was thrown the ball, but dropped it. It rolled on quiet a bit away from him, giving Tidus the chance to run to second, third, and all the way back to home plate. His team cheered for him, giving him high-fives and pats on the back.

"Flame! You're up!" The coach yelled, causing Axel to jump. He walked out from behind the fence and grabbed a bat. He glared at the pitcher, who just happened to be Saix.

"I'm gonna make sure you strike out, Flame," Saix smirked at him, readying himself so he could pitch.

"Feh, in your dreams, Diviner," Axel sneered back, hands gripping the bat tightly. They were already sweating. He didn't want to lose, especially to Saix.

The first pitch was thrown, and luckily Axel didn't swing the ball. The catcher behind him caught the ball in the air and tossed it back to the pitcher.

"I'm not falling for it, Saix," the red-head said with great confidence, though he didn't feel confident.

A smirk that meant, "oh, yes you will" crossed Saix's face as he threw the ball again. Axel swung, and it made contact. The ball flew through the air, and the red-head bolted off to first base. The ball was far enough, so he sprinted to second. The ball, way in the out field, had just been picked up as he ran to third. It was thrown to the second baseman, and Axel began running home.

Saix backed up as the ball was thrown to him. He stood near home plate when he caught it in the air. Axel skidded to a stop and began moving back to third. The ball was thrown over his head and ran back home.

The ball passed right over his head and was caught in the glove that was on Saix's hand, he foot planted on home plate.

The usual smirk was on the pitcher's face, "You're out, Flame."

"I can't believe I lost to him! He tricked me, again!"

Axel was walking home from the bus stop with his friends. The fact that his team lost was one thing. But they had lost because of him. He had lost to Saix. "He seriously won't let me live it down," he groaned, burying his face in his hand.

His friends looked at him with affection. "Don't worry, Axel," Roxas said, smiling softly, "I'm sure one day you'll put him in his place."

Only a groan came out of the red-head. He stared at the ground as he walked down the street.

Demyx's voice piped in cheerfully, "Hey, I got an idea!" He smiled as wide as he could, which was wide. "Why don't we go and get some ice cream?"

The group cheered, all smiling. Axel's frown was washed away. He bolted off to the ice cream shop and they all ran after him.

Upon arriving, they all ordered some Sea Salt ice cream and walked to their hangout. It was located in a back alley not far from the parlor. Eating it on the way there, they joked around and laughed.

"…And he had dropped his books. I would've helped him if I wasn't laughing so hard," Marluxia concluded his story as they walked into the hangout. They all chuckled and took their usual spots.

Looking around from his seat, Vexen stated, "I, uh… really think we should make this place slightly more organized."

Mutters of agreement rang out in the room. Scratching the back of his head, Zexion replied, "Yeah. We haven't really worked on this place for a few months now."

Demyx jumped up and turned on a small TV. Spongebob Squarepants showed up on the screen, causing the mullet-haired blonde to jump up and down with joy. "Look! Look! Look! Spongebob's on!"

Roxas and Namine cheered with joy and rushed to sit up close to the mini-TV with Demyx. They others chuckled as they continued to eat the rest of their ice cream and watch the cartoon.

While the chatter went on, Axel's mind, as well as his eyes, was elsewhere. His eyes were set on Demyx's lower back. He's got such a cute ass…Good hips, too, despite the fact they look a bit girly… wait, I like that part, he thought, letting a soft sigh out.

"Hey, Axel, your ice cream's melting," Larxene's voice broke his train of thought, and his eye contact with Demyx's behind.

"What… oh," Axel looked down at his ice cream. Sticky blue cream ran down the stick and all over his fingers. He ate the rest quickly and walked outside to the faucet.

Pulling off his now sticky finger gloves, he kneeled down and turned the water on. Rubbing his hands under the water, he couldn't get his mind off Demyx. I just don't get it… You've like this guy since before you even went to school, and you still haven't admitted anything to him…Come on, Flame, loosen up! He probably feels the same way about you… At least… I hope he does.

He splashed water on his face, and thought of Demyx some more, but this time, it wasn't expected. People tend to say that Demyx's element was probably water. But, everyone knows that water and fire don't mix… Or maybe the saying 'opposites attract' is true… He looked up and the sky, the sun a bright orange color, reflecting a orange tinge everywhere. Is it possible for the fire to be stronger than the water… or does the water always deplete the fire?

It became close to dinner time, and the group had to split up and go home.

Axel pulled Demyx aside from the rest of the group. The blonde's face turned a deep pink at the contact Axel made with his small wrist. "Wh-what is it, Axel?"

The older boy smiled, "I just thought you would like to spend the night at my house. My dad really won't mind, and I doubt your mom would," he offered, trying to coax the younger one to agree.

Demyx looked around nervously, and stared into Axel's eyes. Sooner or later, the young blonde gave in. They walked to the Flame residence, side by side.
