Roxas’s PoV
-----------------

I never thought it was possible to enjoy class like that. It seemed wholly impossible to actually laugh that much. Zerin, who had scared me the first moment I met him was now basically smirking behind his hand and cracking jokes about the English teacher who was rambling incoherently about how the youth of today doesn’t appreciate find old literature.

I couldn’t help but adore the way Zerin would raise his hand and smile respectfully while asking a question that would send the teacher on a whole different tangent that made him last the entire class period… the quiz we were supposed to have never quite happened due to the classes skills in exploiting the teachers short attention span.

When the bell rang, I idling started gathering my things, listening to Zerin talk about how Jason was a complete idiot in the way he, like the teacher could easily get off topic. I knew that a knowing smile was on my face by the way he took a slight glance at me from the corner of is eye and asked me what the hell was so amusing. I simply shrugged and looked down upon my folders, and as if summoned, like seemed to be his habit, Jason popped into the doorway, his breathing heavy as he waved at us.

The gentle smile on Zerin’s face at the appearance of the hyperactive brunette told me all I needed to know, and I mostly expected to be forgotten as the two flirted with one another, but it turned to the opposite. Jason’s wide blue eyes focused on me as he smiled and playfully ruffled my hair.

“Axel wants to see you after school at the park down the street. He told me to tell you since he’s getting out early. Damn seniors… they have all the luck.” A pout passed his lips, causing the other boy to snicker softly and pat the boy’s cheek gently.

“Poor Jason. However will you live with one more year of school after this. At least your not like me or him. We got a good three.”

“Ah… but Zerin! You’re so smart I’m sure you’ll graduate early!” Jason stared at him with wide eyes, me watching the exchange in amusement.

“You… think so Jay?” Those gray eyes had an odd look within them, even me, who hadn’t known him for long knew that something had hit a spot. Silently picking up the rest of my stuff, I silently slipped from the room and when I glanced back I saw Jason hesitantly moving closer to the underclassman, eyes starting to close in a preparation of a kiss.

A giggle passed my lips as I exited the scene, rushing to my next class where I watched the clock constantly, anxiously awaiting the end of the day, wanting to know what my red-haired god needed to tell me.

I was practically racing out the door as the last bell rang, throwing my bag over my shoulder and whistling happily to myself as my feet speeded from the hallways, outside and down the street toward the park that I had later asked the blushing Zerin more about.

It was fairly large, with a large area of grass, for Frisbee and picnics. Benches were scattered along with paved path and a medium sized playground was in the left corner. It was basic with monkey bars, a merry-go-round, swings, and a jungle gym. It was on the swings that I saw the tell-tale red-hair.

Sprinting over, I came up in front of him, smiling widely. I didn’t know how it happened… but over lunch my mood had suddenly lifted. Really meeting Jason… meeting Zerin… and then what Axel said. All of it had lifted the mood that I had fallen into. The self-pity wasn’t there any longer, only a sense of happiness at being accepted and even loved.

The sight of a slightly sober looking Axel though calmed me down, sitting down on the swing next to the older teen, I gripped the metal chains on either side of me, looking down at the dirt beneath my feet. I remained completely silent… letting Axel speak the first words. And it was due to this that silence remained for awhile. A heavy and thick silence that seemed to threaten me, seemed to want to suffocate me.

“… Corey… no… Roxas. I made a decision today. After going to class… I didn’t pay any attention to the lesson… only thought of you.” My head shot up and my gaze locked upon the serious yet blank face of this guy who I’d known for such a short period of time… yet meant so much to me.

“I’m leaving… in two day’s time. That’ll be a Friday…. I’m leaving and won’t be coming back.” Those stunning emerald eyes met my own, and I felt like my heart was filling with bursting… with the gentleness his look showered me in. “I’m asking you. If you want to come with me. Because if you don’t… I won’t see you again. I want to take you away from all this Roxas… I want us to be together like we couldn’t before.

“I’m almost a graduate… and can support us with a job while you get enrolled in a new school… and I can get us the money… the transportation…. All I want is for you to be next to me holding my hand. I don’t want you to let go like you did before. I want to save you from… I want to save you from your mother. I don’t want her to hurt you anymore Roxas. I’ll be here… two days from now at nine. If you want to come with me… if you want to be with me… be here.”

I sat in a stunned silence as Axel got up and came to stand in front of me. I couldn’t take my eyes off of his face as he bent closer to me and placed a hand so delicately on my cheek. My eyes seemed to close of their own accord as our lips met. I felt my body melt at the simple sensation, feeling the closeness of his body as he slowly pulled me up to stand in front of him, as our connection never broke. My arms slipped around his neck, pulling him closer to me, my fingers tangling themselves within that beautiful mane of hair.

A gasp passed my lips, parting them as his teeth captured my lower lip, nipping gently. His tongue taking advantage of the lack of barrier and slipping from him mouth to my own. I nearly moaned as his tongue caressed my own… as he dominated me yet loved me. Never in my life had I actually wanted to sleep with someone… except for now.

The kiss ended too soon for my liking, my eyes barely being able to be opened… my eyelids felt so heavy. I knew that if he took his arms from around me that I’d fall to the ground, for my knee’s felt so weak.

“Roxas…” He whispered softly, his breathing ragged… labored. I knew from that simple word that he wanted me… as much as I wanted, longed, and needed him. I made myself smile, reaching up to initiate a kiss of my own. With our lips together I whispered.

“Yes… please….”
