Disclaimer: I don't worn Kingdom Heart, alright? D:

Summery: Axel and Roxas play videogames every Friday together after school. What happens when a friend persuades them to play Kingdom Hearts? The weirdest Akuroku ever!

Notes: I had this idea drift in my mind a few times, but I thought it would be too weird. Well, I'll give it a try, you never know. So Roxas and Axel have been friends for about two years, and school is ending in about a couple months. Roxas is a Junior, and Axel is a Senior. I'm sort of sick of Axel always being made into someone who isn't bright and is bad at school work. So I'm going to send him to college…I think.

Anyways, Roxas and Axel realize they don't have much time left together, so they decided to play one more videogame. I don't know what point of view I'm going to have this story in. I don't like switching in the middle of the story, so I'll warn you if I do. I'll stick to Roxas for now.

Yes, five more minutes of the last class of the day. I swear those damn arrows are taunting me, they seem to move slower each second. Maybe everything seems slower since school is coming to an end, and today is Friday.

I like Fridays, well love them. It's one of those days where you feel like all your burdens suddenly disappear. You don't need to worry about that Biology test, or that quiz in math you pretty sure you failed, and just maybe you get reminded that you have a history project due in a week. Nope, all those worries seem to go away.

Then Saturday comes, and you remember them all over again. Not that Saturdays suck or anything, they're pretty good too. Just not as great as Fridays, and don't even get me started on Sunday!

Every Friday right after school my best friend and I play videogames at my place. My parents have gotten so used to it, I don't even need to ask them anymore. They expect him now to come over, play videogames, eat dinner, and sometimes stay over. At first they were a bit worried since he's not exactly normal looking.

I swear my parents asked me about thirty times if his hair was really that color. They also think his family is starving him since he's a stick. I guess that's why my mother insists on him staying over for dinner. It doesn't bother me, or him. He loves my mother's food, and says he wishes his mother could cook that well.

I realized last week, while we were picking out a new game to play, that he won't be here next year. He's going to college, one that's pretty far. He said he needed to get away from his parents and just the mediocrity of this small place.

He said this in front of our other friend, and said he sounded like on of the characters in this game. The name slips me, oh right, the Disney one! Kingdom Hearts. At first we were skeptical, I mean it is Disney. We are men, hear us roar with testosterone! No way are we playing a sissy kiddy game. Then our friend persuaded us somehow, not sure exactly how, but he did it. I think somehow a bet got involved in it, and that's why we ended up choosing it. This game better be good, it's my final one with Axel.

"Roxas!" I blinked and saw my teacher point at the clock. Whoops, it was over three minutes since school had ended.

"Sorry" I mumbled getting my backpack while getting out of my seat.

My teacher held the door open and waited me to exit the classroom before locking it. I smiled, I couldn't resist. It was a nice Friday afternoon, it seemed so picture perfect. I cleared my head and remembered I needed to stop by my locker.

I walked over to my locker and mindlessly did my combination. It opened and I dumped most to all my books, I really didn't want to do school work this weekend. Once I was done with that, I slammed my locker shut and turned around. When I started to walk, I bumped into Axel. I couldn't see his head, but I just knew it was him. I guess it is a best friend thing, but what do I know?

"You're such a slowpoke Roxas" Axel teased. He grabbed my backpack from my hand and slung it over his back. We began making our way out of the school to my house, the long five minute walk.

"I was just thinking about stuff" Yes, that was indeed a great answer. Axel raised his eyebrow and rolled his eyes, chuckling a bit.

"I bet you were thinking about that pretty girl in your homeroom again. Why not just ask her out?" Ugh. Ever since I told him I got help from a pretty girl in my homeroom, he thinks I like her.

"I would, but having you as a loser friend scares them all away" We both laughed and looked at each other.

"That was mean Roxas, real mean. I'm going away soon and all you can think about is some girl who has some nice curves" My shoulders lowered and I unintentionally sighed.

"That's not true, I've been thinking about that a lot lately" My voice seemed to of trailed on and on, and it was in such a somber tone. The joy we both had in our faces disappeared, like it was never there in the first place.

"Yah, I know what you mean Roxas. I know you'll miss me, but I'll come back here to visit, just for you." Axel laughed trying to regain the lightened mood.

"You sure that's it? I bet you'll come back here because you miss me" We reached my house and I grabbed the key from my pocket.

"You're getting so cocky Roxas, maybe I did rub off on you" I opened the door and Axel put our stuff down onto a table. I picked up a note on the table and read it.

Roxas:

Your father and I decided to go on a little rendezvous. We won't be back till tomorrow morning, so don't worry about us! Dinner for You and Axel is in the fridge; heat it up when you're hungry. Don't stay up too late!

-Love Mom

I put the note back on the table and realized Axel was already climbing up the staircase to my room. I ran up the stairs and caught up with him; he opened door and sat himself comfortably on my bed.

"I'm guessing both your parents are gone?" Axel crossed his arms and tried to find a comfortable position on my bed.

"Yep, they'll be back in the morning" I sat next to him and turned on the TV.

"Here" Axel handed me the Kingdom Hearts case.

"Are you sure you want to play this?" I whined. Why Disney?

"He said it was good, and if it sucks oh well. We've played worse I bet, let's just give it a try" It was hopeless, he was dead set on it.

"How did he get you to agree?" I opened the case and turned on my PS2.

"He said if I didn't like it, he'd give my fifty bucks" I put the disk in and waited for the game to load.

"You better split that with me!" He laughed and lightly pushed me.

"No way! You're a minor and can munch off your parents for another year. On the other hand, I have college, I need all the money I can get" He brought it up again, college. Every time he brought it up, I felt like a part of me died. I guess that's how one would explain it.

"Hey, it's done loading. At least the opening theme is pretty!" It was more than just pretty, it put me at ease. Something about it just made me feel more comfortable. I don't know if it was me being over emotional over the whole Axel college thing, or it was just damn good.

"Yah, I agree" Axel said slowly grabbing the controller.

"You can play first, I'll watch" I adjusted myself from my sitting position into a lying on my stomach position. My elbows cradled my head and my feet waved backwards and forewords.

"That's very nice of you Roxas" He sarcastically said. He clicked the new game option, and smiled towards me. I smiled back, and realized I was going to miss his snide smile. I was going to miss a lot of things about him. Why couldn't Fridays last forever?

Notes: First chapter is done, if this fails…e.e; I already have an ending planned out, it's so cute, though I doubt people will like this. It's really weird, and Kingdom Hearts II hasn't come out yet, in this story. (yes, I state the obvious)

I haven't played the first game in awhile, so mistakes will be made of course. Just tell me, I won't feel offended or anything.

Review? That would be nice, I need encouragement on this story.
