Figures A and B Means You and Me

o-o-o

Axel had nothing to criticize about this morning, though it looked the same as any other rainy day.

The feel however, was entirely different.

Axel to put it simply, was in love.

And an Axel in love was something to be reckoned with. Especially with those feelings now returned in full, jeez. He went crazy.

Roxas with his puffy cheeks, and crystal blue eyes. That slim waist, androgynous face. Quiet demeanor, soft voice. Beautiful Roxas. God, what good deed did Axel do to deserve such a fucking blessing.

Axel with the stupid crazy red hair, the almost too green eyes, freakishly skinny frame. The simple triangle tattoos, the crude manners. The lack of cash.

But whatever. That was Axel's motto. Everything worked out in the end, just like he didn't know it would. Heh.

The rain pounded down on him as he casually strolled to the high school. The walk wasn't a long one, and he usually never wore clothes that he considered valuable.

A horn busted up his ear drums, and he was about to turn around and fuck somebody up, though when he faced the driver, he stopped in his tracks, lowering his raised fist. Riku.

And Sora.

...and Roxas.

Meh.

His flimsy clothes were pretty much soaked, his tank top sticking to him almost obscenely.

He grinned and hopped in.

Whatever.

Roxas was sitting with his hands folded in his lap, smiling shyly at him.

To put it bluntly, Axel was anything but shy. He was rude at times, very rude. Though honest. He'd tell you like it was. So with this relationship came certain boundaries Axel was all too aware of. It had only been a week since the incident in which changed Axel's lame life into the best one ever.

So understandably Roxas was still having to adjust to the 'Axellove'.

"So Axel, you have to be gentle here with my brother, he bruises easily. Heh." Sora smiled at him from the passengers side, sticking his tongue out at Roxas, who squeaked indignantly.

"Ah shut up Sora, wait till I get outta this car!"

Axel chuckled lightly, grabbing the blond's hand, squeezing. His eyes traveled over the soft plains of Roxas's face, appreciating. Until of course, the said boy glared.

"What're you staring at me for?"

Sigh.

With a shrug, and a devilish grin, Axel caught Roxas's chin and brought their faces closer together. He licked his lips, smirking at the tiny gasp coming from the other boy.

They kissed.

Sloppily. It was horrible. Axel tried to be suave and awesome and sexy, but he hadn't had a lot of experience in the love department. His lips landed on Roxas's left cheek, and how he missed that bad was kind of preposterous.

He flushed, glaring at the giggles erupting from the obvious voyeurs in the front. "Ah, shuddup. You guy's suck."

Sora snickered. "Not as bad as you."

"Yeah right Sora, I know for a fact you haven't been kissed. Like, try, ever," Roxas supplied nastily in Axel's defense, though a blush spread across his cheeks adorably.

Sora promptly shut up.

Riku glanced at him briefly, but didn't say anything. He put in a cd to drown out the arguing voices.

I got your picture, I'm coming with you, Dear Maria count me in...

"What the FUCK are you listening to?!" Axel shrieked, conjuring up the most disgusted looking face he could manage. It only served to freak Riku out, making said boy slam on his brakes and stop the car. At a green light. Axel shrinked back in his seat, 'oh'ing quietly. Roxas provided no help.

Slowly, casually almost, Riku turned his head around, and Axel peed a little.

"Let me tell you this. If you ever do that again, I will disembowel you. It will not be quick, or painless. We are listening to All Time Low, fyi. Now shut the fuck up Axel."

Axel, more or less, shut the fuck up.

For about three minutes.

"So uh, I happen to carry my all time favorite band ever everywhere I go... and I think we should listen to them. I can't STAND another second of this pop crap. Please?"

Sora snickered when Riku's pale as snow hands got paler, their grip insanely tight on the steering wheel. "Fine, give it to Sora. Jesus."

Roxas glared, generally unhappy about the stupid music conversation taking place, and punched Axel's arm. Axel yelped. "What?" He muttered, whipping out a cd and throwing it to Sora swiftly. He recovered with a grin. "You'll like it." He poked Roxas in the cheek. Roxas in return tried to break his finger.

Hitting the play button, Sora and Riku anxiously waiting, well, mildly interestedly waited for the music to start.

At first, whatever the guy was singing was lost, because he went so incredibly fast, all they could catch between them was, Do you understand me now? The chorus was slower, and kind of insulting.

You stupid mother fucker!

And it repeated.

There was a short silence, where Axel grinned to himself smugly.

"And you say MY music taste sucks," Riku chuckled darkly, throwing a look a Sora, who only shrugged, trying to understand the man belting out such clearly obscene lyrics.

"Jealousy," Axel hissed, and Roxas giggled to himself.

The car stopped, Riku heaving an over dramatic sigh. "Get. Out."

Axel and Roxas happily obliged. Riku was scary sometimes.

-

Today was the day Axel introduced Roxas to Cloud, Demyx and Yuffie. It was a terrifying thought, but it had to be done. He solemnly led his new boyfriend to a small crowd loitering near the library. As if sensing Axel's presence, four heads shot up from the close circle. Ah, Aerith had joined them.

Perhaps an ally.

"Heeey guys." Axel waved. Nobody moved, well, Cloud twitched a little. Axel pushed Roxas ahead of him, smiling disarmingly. "This is Roxas - " WE KNOW - "and he is my lover. My boyfriend, my everything, etc and so on." Axel leaned down and licked Roxas's cheek, grinning. "Go get 'em sweet cakes."

Roxas punched him in the face.

Strong little fucker. Violent too. That was the way Axel liked them.

Demyx was the first to not be weird and go say hello. He smirked down at the blond little thing that was Roxas, sighing. "So we finally meet Axel's obsession. I thought this day would never come. Because he is weird and creepy and - " Aerith stopped him mid sentence, pulling him back and into Yuffie's care. Yuffie smacked him on the ear.

Aerith held out her hand, to which Roxas examined before touching. "My name is Aerith, this is Yuffie." She pointed to the smaller girl, easily making up for her size with her personality. And then she reluctantly gestured to Demyx, who was vigorously rubbing his abused ear, glaring at Yuffie. "That's Demyx. He's a bit insane." Cloud was silently analyzing his friends, but stepped forward, offering an unhelpful frown. "And Cloud. He's a bit unsociable at times..."

Roxas simply nodded, glancing back at Axel for reassurance, to which the other boy shrugged and tapped his foot to some song. Damn him. "Hey," he muttered lamely. What was there to say? "Well, um..." Thankfully Axel cut in, grabbing his arm.

"All right guys, introductions aside, get used to him."

The small group collectively nodded. After a short, slightly awkward silence, Cloud spoke. Cloud. Yeah.

"You're in my gym class."

Roxas blinked. Cloud was intimidating with his stoicness. And he was like an older replica of himself. That was kinda cool. Roxas smiled slightly, scratching the back of his head. "Yeah. You're really good at soccer."

Cloud shrugged. "I don't try to be," he muttered and looked away. There was a heaviness in the air.

Axel leaned down and whispered in his arm non too discretely, "his ex boyfriend loved soccer. It was all he talked about..."

"Axel!" Cloud hissed, and Roxas stepped back. Cloud was scary when he was angry.

Aerith seemed to be the intervener, because yet again, she stopped Cloud's suicidal/homicidal rage that was totally about to come out.

Axel took the small chance and ran, dragging Roxas with him.

"Ah, I didn't think he'd get so pissy, y'know? He really misses Leon, that pig fucker. I hated him from the start, Cloud's too damn good for him. Right Roxas?"

Roxas glared. "Leon is Riku's older brother."

Shit.

"He's a swell guy." Axel chuckled hesitantly, but Roxas didn't hit him or anything, so he sighed in relief. They stopped walking beside the boy's bathroom, which gave Axel an increasingly awesome idea. "Hey Roxas..."

"No." Roxas shook his head, disgusted. "No fucking way. I know what you're thinking, perv. Jeez."

Axel frowned. "What?"

Roxas stared dumbly. "Weren't you going to suggest doing something degrading in the boy's bathroom?"

"Pfft, no. I was going to ask you if you wanted to hang out after school."

"Oh."

Awkward silence.

Roxas shrugged, about to reply when the first bell's shrill cry sounded off. He simply nodded, smiled slightly and walked away. "See you after school then, I guess."

"Yeah!" Axel waved, and when he was sure Roxas had left, sighed in relief. That was a close one! Glad I came up with something so quick. Axel you sly dog...!"

He snickered to himself creepily as he too started for first period.

-

"Sora."

Riku frowned. He and Sora had the same AP English class, and usually the brunette was alert and focused. Today however, seemed to be a rare off day. He waved his hand in front of Sora's face, the frown on his lips getting heavier.

"So - ra."

Still, no sign of life. Jeez.

Time for some drastic measures.

Riku flicked the other boy on the nose solemnly. Sora's large eyes shot him a nasty, hate filled glare. Riku eeped.

"What?" Sora whispered, pursing his lips.

"You're spacing," Riku murmured quietly, checking to make sure their teacher, who seemed to hear every little thing, wasn't looking at them. Vincent Valentine could be a bastard if his class was interrupted.

"Huh?"

Riku shrugged, shaking his head. Getting in trouble was suicide. "Never mind."

"No! Tell me Riku?"

"Sora." Vincent's red eyes flared. "Is there something you'd like to share with the class? I do not tolerate interruptions. You know this."

The brunette groaned. "No, sir..."

Vincent rolled his eyes. There was always exceptions. "Do not let it happen again."

Sora sighed, silently thanking every god he could think of and cursing his silver haired annoyance, because Riku was snickering at him that bastard. Carefully, Sora wrote something on a piece of paper and passed it to Riku.

Riku read it.

i hate u. ima kill you. just wait.

He had to stab his lip with his sharpest tooth to stop from laughing at thinking about Sora saying 'ima'.

After class had finally ended and the lunch bell rang, Sora sweetly smiled at Riku, and then hit him in the shin.

Ah, young love.

-

"Sora."

"Oh my god, not this again. What the hell do you want Riku?"

They were at lunch, and Riku never ate because he couldn't stomach the garbage the cafeteria ladies tried so hard to feed him. Sora was munching on some French fries.

"I want to know what you were thinking about in English. You never think." Riku chuckled at his own joke, but Sora was not amused.

"Loserface."

"I resent that."

Sora turned to him, half a French fry tucked between his lips, his smirk almost creepy. "So do you really wanna know?"

Riku nodded.

As Sora opened his mouth, something loud, red, and annoying interrupted him.

"YOU GUYS HAVE THIS LUNCH TOO?!"

Kairi, followed by Tidus, was grinning at them from the bushes of their hidden alcove. Damn her. Both Riku and Sora definitely liked Kairi, she was a cool girl. But this had been their super secret meeting place forever. And now she had found them. And Tidus. They simultaneously shuddered. Too much energy in one body. Not good.

"Hey... Kairi." Riku glared.

"Yeah, hi."

Tidus sat beside Sora and stole like, thirty French fries, cramming them in his mouth happily. Kairi smiled, and gracefully took a seat next to Riku, beaming. "I can't believe you guys hide here."

"Pffft, we don't hide. Just, no one is as cool as me and Riku. Duh."

Kairi sighed. "I see this Sora..." She laughed quietly behind her hand. Riku ruffled her hair. Secretly, he wanted her to go away so he could hear what Sora had to say.

"So, like, guess what guuuys?" Tidus sang happily, to which everyone collectively groaned. What new girl had taken over Tidus' life? "I'm totally dating Selphie now. Yeah."

They clapped. It would last a week, give or take knowing the crazy blond.

The lunch bell rang, and Riku dragged Sora away by the belt.

"So what were you going to -"

"Sorrraa!!"

Roxas this time. Riku's eyes were on fire.

Fire!
