Guess who's still here? This girl! SO. I apologize for being on hiatus for almost a year! I was really busy with life, and a LOT has changed and went on, and I really needed a break from everything. But I am officially back! And, to start off with me being back, I have finished the LAST chapter of 'You're The One'. I know, I said a while back there would be two more, but I shoved them together and made one. :)
I hope you all have enjoyed my story and aren't too angry with me not updating in almost a year! As a special treat, I will be starting a new KH fanfiction here soon!
Thank you, everyone!
Oh! And for the last time with this story, I do not own KH. :)
A few weeks later…
Roxas sat up in his bed, yawing and stretching his arms. He glanced around his room, taking in everything he was seeing. He was finally home from the hospital and today, he was allowed back at school.
"Roxas! You better be up!" Sora shouted, throwing open his brother's door.
The twin seemed to be gleaming with excitement.
"I'm up already, Sora. Thank you for almost breaking down my door." Roxas sighed.
He climbed out of bed, wincing in pain. Even though he was on medication and out of the hospital, his injuries still hurt him. The blonde brought his hand up to his chest, and placed it over the scar that now lingered. Sora noticed his twin's pain, and hurried to his side.
"Are you okay? Roxas?" The brunette asked.
"Yeah…I'm fine really." He replied.
"Maybe you should stay home another day…"
"No, I'm fine."
Sora gave his brother a questioning look, the sighed.
"Be downstairs soon, okay?" Sora smiled.
Roxas smiled at his brother. The brunette grinned widely, happy to see a smile plastered on Roxas's face.
Once Sora left the room, Roxas felt the pain disappear. It only seemed to act up when he was excited or when he began to run out of breath. He reached for his pain medication by his bed, taking only the prescribed amount.
The blonde grabbed a loose band t-shirt, and a pair of dark blue skinny jeans. He also grabbed his crown necklace that matched the one his twin had. He ran this hair through his messy blonde hair, and a smile began to creep back onto his face.
"Roxas! Let's go!" Sora yelled throughout the house.
Downstairs, Sora waited with his back on his bag and the car keys in his hand. Arieth was behind him, waiting for her foster son to walk down the stairs. Roxas hurried down the steps, ready to head to school.
"Are you sure you're ready for this?" Arieth questioned.
"Yes, I'm positive! Can we go now?" Roxas pleaded to his brother.
Sora chuckled as his foster mother glared at the blonde. She gave the boys a hug, and walked them out to the car.
"I'm driving!" Roxas stated.
"Except I'm not letting you. I'll be driving for a while." Sora smirked.
Roxas felt his stomach drop. With the condition he was in, he didn't want to have to deal with his brother's reckless driving. Their step mom laughed as she walked back into the house.
/**/
The boys arrived at school earlier than expected, finding a parking spot closer to the door. Sora figured it would be easier on Roxas so he wouldn't have to walk too far. Once they got out of the car, Roxas was engulfed in a hug. He gave a small yelp, not expecting the hug from an unknown figure.
"Demyx! Get off of him! He's still hurt, you know."
Roxas looked up at the tall, mullet haired man and gave a smile. Zexion ran up behind his boyfriend, pulling him off of the blonde.
"I missed you!" Demyx said.
"I missed you too, Dem. And you too, Zexion." Roxas smiled.
Sora watched the scene before him happily. He jumped when he felt a hand on his shoulder. The brunette glanced back, realizing it was only Riku. The taller teen kissed Sora's forehead as a greeting.
"Did you miss me, Roxy?" a smooth voice questioned.
Standing behind the group was Axel, who had his arms crossed over his chest. Roxas felt his heart skip a beat when he saw the red head.
"Especially you."
Axel walked up to the boy, and wrapped his arms around him. Roxas returned the hug, not wanting to let go.
"Aw! They're so cute!" Demyx squealed like a girl.
The red head glanced over at his friend, as if to tell him to shut up. Zexion rolled his eyes at his energetic boyfriend.
The boys let go of each other, but as soon as the let go, Axel grabbed Roxas's hand and intertwined their fingers. Roxas blushed at the gesture, looking up at his green eyed friend.
No, Roxas thought, he's so much more than that.
The group began walking towards the school entrance, but hesitated once they got to the doors. Seifer and Lexeaus were there, as if they were waiting for something. Seifer's eyes locked onto Roxas, and Lexeaus glanced over at Zexion.
Axel's grip on Roxas's hand grew tighter, and Demyx stepped in front of his boyfriend. Riku glared at the teens, and Sora balled his hands into fists.
"Well, well, blondie. I haven't seen you in a while. Where have you been?" Seifer smirked.
Axel was about to say something, but Roxas cut him off.
"Why do you care?" the blonde hissed.
"I'm just worried about my little pet, that's all." Seifer said, walking closer to the group.
"Back off." Roxas glared.
Lexeaus was behind Seifer in an instant, and soon enough, they were standing face to face with Roxas. Axel looked as though he were ready to kill the boys if they even touched Roxas.
Seifer reached out his hand towards Roxas's face, and the blonde backed away from the gesture. For a brief second, the image of Xemnas reaching out towards him, cause Roxas to feel faint. Axel grabbed Seifer's wrist, pushing him away.
"Hey pyro, let go. Didn't I say he was-"
Before Seifer could finish his sentence, a fist collided with his face, knocking the bully onto the ground. Sora stood above the Seifer, glaring and readying his fist to punch the teen again.
Everyone was in awe of the brunette's fury.
"Leave him alone." Sora snapped.
Lexeaus took a step forward, going toward Sora, but Riku and Demyx stepped forward. The tall teen glanced at them, then at Seifer before backing away. Seifer seemed to be in utter shock, for he hadn't moved since he was hit.
"Let's go." Riku said, grabbing Sora's hand.
Axel noticed as the group began to move, Roxas seemed to be in a trance. He sighed and leaned his face close to the blonde's.
"Hey there." He smirked.
The red head placed his lips on Roxas's gently, causing the smaller teen to turn red. Axel smiled at Roxas as he backed up, holding the blonde's hand.
"You ready?" Axel asked.
Roxas didn't say anything; he just nodded. Sora laughed at his brother, who was still completely red.
/**/
The day went by pretty fast. Word spread around the school that Roxas had returned and that his twin had beat Seifer to the ground. Seifer and his gang stayed far from the group, ashamed of what happened earlier.
Teachers welcomed Roxas back happily, even Saix, who never seemed to be happy. The blue haired teacher apologized for his leave of absence. Roxas figured Saix knew what had happened with Xemnas. The blonde gave a small nod to the teacher, to let him know that it was okay. Saix's face didn't show any emotion, but Roxas knew the older man understood.
Lunch rolled around and the group grabbed their regular table. Demyx sat with Zexion, laughing about something that entertained them both. Riku and Sora were discussing something quietly, and stopped talking once Roxas and Axel reached the table.
Roxas narrowed his eyes toward his twin, but all Sora did was grin.
"What were you talking about?" Roxas asked.
"Oh, nothing." Riku said.
"Sora." The blonde said, threateningly.
"We were just discussing the matters of you and Axel. That's all." Sora stated.
Axel's face turned a slight pink as he glared at the silverette. Demyx stopped talking and started to listen in on the conversation.
"What about us?" Axel questioned.
"We were wondering if you two would classify yourselves as dating now." Sora said.
"What about you and Riku? Hm?" Roxas tried to argue.
"We established this already. We are dating." Riku emphasized the dating part.
Axel and Roxas looked at each other, then back at their friends. They hadn't really discussed what they 'were'.
"Well…" they said at the same time.
The blonde chuckled, and Axel just smiled. He loved hearing Roxas's laugh.
Axel stood up from the table, pulling Roxas up with him. He cleared his throat loudly, and held the smaller teen's hands in his own. The group at the table watched in awe at the sight in front of them. A few students around them even glanced over at the commotion.
"Roxas, I was wondering, and apparently, so was everyone else…" Axel began.
The blonde locked his blue eyes on the taller teen's green eyes. It was as if they were the only ones in the room.
"…Anyway…Will you go out with me?" the red head asked with a coy smile.
Roxas didn't know how anyone could refuse that look.
"Yes. I mean, yeah. I, um, yeah." Roxas stuttered.
"Good." Axel said, leaning in to kiss his new boyfriend.
As they kissed, a small roar of cheers erupted from behind them. The boys pulled apart, and looked at their group of friends. Demyx was jumping in his seat, and Zexion looked pleased, while the other couple just smiled.
"Happy now?" Axel asked, taking his seat.
"Did you have to make a big deal out of it?" Roxas whispered, sitting down beside the red head.
"When it comes to you, yes, I did." Axel grinned at the blonde.
The table 'awed' at the new couple, but soon received glares from both of the boys.
/**/
Roxas sighed as the last bell of the day rang. It was the only class he had by himself, but he would meet up with Axel right after. As he was walking out, Seifer walked up to him. The bully was alone, but either way, Roxas didn't like the idea of being alone with him.
The blonde knew he couldn't handle Seifer due to his injuries, and no one was around to help him. All the other students were already leaving the school, and the hallways were emptying fast. Axel was nowhere to be seen.
"Blondie." Seifer hissed.
"What, Seifer?" Roxas tried his best to show no fear.
Seifer narrowed his eyes.
"I don't like the idea of sharing you." The taller boy stated.
"And I don't like the idea of being near you." Roxas retorted.
A second bell rang throughout the hallways, a warning to tell students to leave the school. Still, no one seemed to be in the halls to help the blonde out.
Seifer leaned closer to Roxas, only inches away from his face. Roxas felt his heart beat fasten, and his breath began to shorten. Pain spread throughout, but was more prominent in his chest. Seifer didn't notice, he only kept his eyes locked on the boy in front of him.
Roxas's vision started to blur, and he couldn't speak. He tried to push Seifer away, but because of his sudden weakness, he barely touched the bully.
"Blondie? …Hey? Roxas?" Seifer sounded confused.
"Get away from him!"
The blonde could hear voices shouting, but he closed his eyes and fell to his knees.
"What did you do?" Riku yelled.
"Nothing!" Seifer said.
Roxas felt someone slip arms around him, and pick him up. The blonde opened his eyes, realizing that it was Axel who had him in his arms. Riku and Sora were yelling at Seifer, and Zexion was holding Demyx's arm, to keep him from attacking.
"Did he hurt you?" Axel asked.
"No. He was talking…and he got close…but my chest hurt, and then I started to black out." Roxas mumbled.
"Is this true?" Axel shot at Seifer.
The bully nodded frantically, knowing he couldn't take on the entire group. Axel glanced at his friends, then at Seifer. The blonde with the beanie looked at Roxas once more, then turned and walked away.
"Roxas, are you okay?" Sora asked, concerned.
"I'm fine…just a little tired now." Roxas smiled.
"I have an idea…" Demyx said, randomly.
The group looked at the mullet haired teen with confusion, including his own boyfriend.
/**/
"Demyx, you are a genius." Sora cheered.
The mullet haired teen brought his friends to the park, and invited a few other people. He also grabbed some snacks, along with the ice cream Axel had given Roxas a few weeks ago.
Sora dragged Riku over to the slide, and Demyx took Zexion over to the merry-go-round. Axel watched his friends in amusement. The red head grabbed to sea salt ice cream bars, and took a seat on one of the swings beside Roxas.
He handed one of bars to Roxas, who smiled as he brushed Axel's hand.
"Thanks you, Axel. Thank you for everything." The blonde smiled.
"You're welcome, Roxy." Axel replied with a grin.
Everything was finally right. Roxas could truly smile now without any fears. No more worry. Xemnas was behind bars, and Seifer knew to stay away. His friends were happy, and Sora and Arieth could laugh again.
The blonde glanced over at his boyfriend, feeling a rush of butterflies in his stomach as Axel gave a warm smile. The tall teen held out his hand, inviting Roxas to interlock his. They didn't let go, even when they had finished their ice cream, they still held on.
Yes, everything in my life is just right.
