Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sora frowned looking back at Demyx. "Now look what you have down with that hot-head of ours!"Sora yelled unhappily before running off to get Demyx. Axel huffed back looking at the two moving off into the distance. "Well who needs you guys anyway"He mumbled somewhat in defeat before moving to the library passing two other kids from his class. Zexion and Riku, both very smart, so he didn't really associate with them. In fact, it was amazing he even remember their names.

Zexion shrugged as they walked out the library passing Axel, one the more... idiotic students of the class. "Well if he isn't with that idiot, he is probably with the other one."Zexion said really not entertained by the fact that Sora was the only one that even tried not to fail.

Axel's head snapped back to Zexion as he made that comment. "Hey, Don't talk about my friends like that"He hissed, knowing he was mad at Demyx and maybe even Sora a little to but he was going to burn in hell before he let some nerd talk trash about them.

Zexion, not really in the mood for some punk-a** poser, looked back at Axel with a glare. "You heard me, You and your little dumb friends need to go and fail the grade already so people like me don't have deal with you"Zexion snapped.

Axel snapped. He didn't mean to. He was just mad before then some GEEK tried to tell HIM off. Oh no that wasn't going to happen. He throw his bookbag off to the side before turning back and moving to punch Zexion of course this didn't work at first because Zexion dodged it but then Axel just tackled them him with all his might before pulling back and punching him in the cheek. Zexion countering by moving his legs and kicking him back. Axel had been in his fair share of fights, so he wasn't new to any of this. Zexion had been trained to fight by his dad because his dad said he needed to know self-defense. So this wasn't some sissy fight now it was an all out battle in fact they were soo focus either of them where even remoted startled by kids gathering and screaming 'fight, fight, fight'

Axel didn't look in bad shape, but he looked like he definitely got into a fight, which in his opinion he was clearly winning. He stopped as soon as Roxas pulled him off though. He really did he stopped trying to do anything as he just stared at Roxas in pure... awe at the fact that Roxas wasn't just trying to help his friend out. He was ashame of him as well... but of course as soon as Roxas turned to Axel and said what he did. He wanted to die. No, worst then that. He wanted to be stepped on by everyone in the entire world then be left somewhere all alone to wether away after not eating for days. Just the look of ashame and hate that Roxas gave him was enough to make him hate himself with all his heart. In fact, he had to hold back tears seeing Roxas walk away. He didn't know it but he had started to shake. Of course, the only one able to really tell would be Riku who had a grip on him. "J-just..."He stared realizing that he had started to stutter before staighting up and somewhat putting on a mask so Riku couldn't see him breaking inside. If Roxas didn't want to ever see him again, then the bet was over and his deepest secret was out. His life was literally over. "Just take me to the office. I want to go home.."He said finally after straightening out his voice.

Axel looked up at Riku seeing that he was really talking from the heart. He wanted to help Axel. Axel sat down like he was told starting to twiddle with his fingers a little. Questining to himself what exactly he felt comfortable telling Riku. He didn't really know him that well but the fact that he did care enough to take him somewhere out of the way just to talk meant something. "Well I did something really stupid... and I know it's stupid. I just... I just don't know what to do anymore... It all started Monday when I was messing around with Sora and Demyx and it kinda snowballed into a bet where if I could get Roxas to fall in love with me by the end of this month then I would get Demyx to buy me a whole month of food, and if I couldn't he is going to tell everyone my deepest secret.. A-and w-well now he doesn't even want to look at me for trying to defend my friends from being talked about"Axel said letting down his mask for Riku, and he really did because he actually started crying a bit. His whole social life was over now literally because he couldn't win the bet, but the worst part was that he really was more upset about the look that Roxas gave him and what he said to him. "A-and I don't know just that look of disappointment he had A-and t-those w-words. I-I-"He started to choke up trying to get the words to come out. "It made me feel so bad. It pulled some heart string so deep that I didn't even know I was that deep....."He sobbed now just crying as he looked at the groung in between his legs. He didn't care, Riku was right he needed to vent before he exploded about this.

Axel sniffled a little hugging Riku back really needing the hug. "Okay"Axel said firmly trying he could convince himself to be strong. He stood up after Riku wipping tears off his face. "Okay no more fight for me."He said more to himself then Riku. Axel chuckled a little at Riku hitting on Sora. "Sure man, I can do that. Fair trade if I do say so myself"He said with a smile before moving back to the stairs. "Come on they'll be outside in the courtyard right now."Axel said starting down the stairs back to the second floor of the building.

Axel smiled a little seeing Demyx and Sora. Though as soon as he saw them. He saw the look on their faces, of course he looked like he had been crying because he had been which didn't help. In fact the moment Sora spotted Axel. He bolted towards him. "Axel, hey you okay? Me and Demyx heard about the fight from Saix, who was walking by at the time. You look pretty bad, Does it hurt? Why do you look like you have been crying? Have you? Did Zexion beat up that bad? Because you just say the word and I'll go kick his a**. I mean you are like my brother, but you have no techique when it comes to fighting."Sora said starting to ramble towards the end before Axel cut him off because he looked like he was turning blue from speaking and not breathing while he was. "Sora! Sora calm down. I'm fine, nothing a good night sleep won't fix"Axel told him, a small reassuring smile on his face. Sora breathed before his eyes moved to who was next to Axel. "Um, Sora this is Riku. He was assigned to drop me off with you guys so I didn't get any more fights."Axel said, saying the first thing that came to his mind. "Awww, how sweet"Sora said he realized that he had been staring at him the whole time Axel was talking. Of course, that only made him blush, then he tried to fix it by talking which... never worked. "haha, yeah, I-I am, well you glad you would do that for Axel. I know he kinda sucks. But that's okay, Demyx and I suck too. Well I'm not saying we are bad people. I just umm"He said rambling on before Axel covered his mouth with a chuckle. "that basically means thank you in Sora terms"He said smiling at Riku.

Axel laughed a little Riku before moving away from the two so they could have their moment. Plus he needed to get things right with Demyx. “Hey man.” Axel called to Demyx as he walked up to him knowing that Demyx knew he was there. “I, um, really just want to say I’m sorry okay? I overreacted before and I really shouldn’t have taken it out on you, buddies right?” Axel said before he could get any words out because he didn’t want to yell at Demyx anymore. He wanted to clear all the smoke between them.

Sora giggled a little at Riku’s greeting. “So you are the Riku that Roxas talks about all the time, I’m Sora.” He greeted back shaking his hand happily. “Oh really, me too” Sora said back growing even happier seeing that Riku, who was totally hot, really seemed interested in him. Of course, Sora just started to shine having Riku’s phone number on his hand. “I won’t” Sora mumbled to himself marling at the number on his hand. He stared at it for a few moments before he realized that Riku was still standing there. “Oh umm I guess, I’ll see you around. Or maybe I’ll just call you. Yah, that sounds great. I’ll call Riku” Sora said happily blushing like crazy as he retreated back to Demyx and Axel.

Axel nodded a little with a smile before pulling back from the hug too. “Deal, as long as you lay off with the teases, that really upsets me dude” Axel explained but then turned back and looked at Sora and Riku laughing a little. “Yeah, that’s one of Roxas’ best friends. Not the one I got in the fight with but the one that helped me afterward.” Axel said watching as Sora walked away from Riku and run over to them. His face literally glowed happiness after that conversation with Riku.

Sora blushed a little hearing Demyx. “Maybe” He mumbled little realizing that he just did all that stuttering and goofiness in front of not only Riku but both of them too. “Hey don’t say that about Riku, he seemed really nice, and he helped Axel out so that makes him okay in my book.” Sora pointed out to Demyx hitting him lightly in the arm, but it was more playful then actual angry. It took a lot to get Sora mad.
