“Hey…. Hey, Ruxkia…. Wake up…” I can hear Xion’s voice shaking me from my sleep.
I immediately sat up in my bed, disheveled hair and that.
“I…. I had this….. crazy dream….” I manage to say, making her scratch her head a bit.
“Why don’t you tell me about it, then?”
“Well,…. Wait… Don’t…. laugh, K?”
“What makes you think I’ll… laugh…?” Xion said as she managed to frown exaggeratedly at me.
“We were all…. Wearing black cloaks…. And… A boy with a HUGE key started beating us!.... And then Roxas!.... He…. Umm….”
“He, what?”
Before I could answer, Xion cut me off by giving her own opinion about it without me even asking for it.
“Psh! Huge keys…. How could people with huge keys beat us? No less, a boy?! They’ll like… unlock our bodies and take our hearts or something?” Xion said, insulting my dream.
“Hmmm…. Something like that…. Besides…. It IS a dream, you know” I said, making her lose her expression and finally shutting her up.
With that, Axel came in the room, telling us that breakfast’s ready. I immediately jumped out of my bed to change, noticing that I may be the only person in pajamas now.
“No time to change, Ruxkia! Come on!” Axel said as he takes my arm before I could even go to the bathroom.
“You too, Roxas!!” Axel said as he gets out of our room and grabs Roxas at his room.
Roxas still had his pajamas on, same as me. But only he still had a toothbrush in his mouth, foaming on his lips. How adorable he looked…. With his thunderbolt pajamas and matching hat.
He managed to smile at my racecar pajamas and…. Fluffy bunny slippers as Axel carried us down the hallway.
And did I mention that we’re staying at a hotel? Since Xemnas decided the apartment to be “renovated”, we chose this place to crash and kill the time.
I can hear Xion panting behind me as she tried to catch up with us.
“S-slow down!” she said, now running after us.
I pulled my tongue out at her and released myself from Axel’s grip.
“Oh, crap….” I heard Roxas say as his toothbrush was now on the ground because of Axel’s pace.
“Don’t worry…. I got it….” I said as I picked the toothbrush carefully with my index and thumb and tried to avoid the slow foam as possible. It’s not that I’m disgusted with Roxas…. I just hope he doesn’t notice that I actually like him. How could I not?
He has those gorgeous eyes that stare straight into my soul. And that… Hair… Ever so silky. And his voice, like a soothing lullaby from a newly made music box.
I hadn’t noticed but I was still holding his toothbrush for the past five seconds and noticed Xion snapping her fingers in front of my face. At front, Roxas’ hand was already gesturing for the toothbrush, wondering why I hadn’t given it to him yet.
“Oops! Silly me…. I was mind-travelling….” I said as I now gave it back to him, smiling sheepishly.
“Nah, forget the toothbrush…. I have an extra one at my room….” Roxas said, turning around.
I rolled my eyes and gave the toothbrush to Xion for her to worry about.
“And just what am I to do with this?!” Xion asked me as he makes me take the toothbrush back.
I didn’t answer but I noticed her putting the toothbrush in the trash can next to us.
More at front, Axel was impatiently tapping his foot on the floor, waiting for us to move and come with him.
“Jeez, guys…. Everyone’s waiting for us now….” Axel said, rolling his eyes at how cheesy the scene was.
“Well, so-o-ry for oversleeping, Mr. Demanding (!)” I said sarcastically, now overtaking him.
“You shouldn’t be too hard on her, Axel…. She’s only new….” Roxas said as he passed by Axel, following after me.
With that, we were at the dining room, the other members were already eating at the long table Xemnas reserved just for us.
“We were expecting you fifteen minutes ago….” Xemnas said as he finally noticed us going to our respective seats.
“Sorry…. I-It’s all my fault…. I overslept….” I said as I tried to give him my “irresistible” puppy-dog eyes.
He rolled his eyes and went back eating.
Roxas sat next to me, Xion was in front of me with Axel at her right.
The sound of forks and spoons gliding against the plates makes my back shiver. Roxas noticed me not touching my food since we got here.
“Hey, Ruxkia… You OK?” He asked me and placed his spoon and fork down.
“Just because I’m new doesn’t mean I’m weak….” I said, my sight on the food which I have no appetite to eat now.
“Hey…. I never meant that….. I never said you were weak….” Roxas replied.
From the corner of my eye, I could see Axel and Xion eavesdropping on the conversation in front of them.
“Well…. I can feel like….. Never mind….” I said as I looked at him, my expression changed and smiling like nothing happened.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Breakfast was over and I immediately went back to our room with Xion following behind me.
“Hey, what was that about with Roxas a while ago? You were like….” Xion said as she tries to recall the scene back there.
“N-Nothing…. I just…. Flipped out a bit….” I said as I opened the door to our room.
I heard something rumbling inside and shushed Xion to hear the noise clearly. I opened the door slowly to find Demyx looking through my drawers furiously.
“And just WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING, YOU LAZY BUM?!” I said as I stomped in the room, shooing Demyx away from my stuff.
“What? What? I was just doing what I was told to!” Demyx replied as he dropped my diary he got from my drawer.
“Wait…. You were told to…. Sneak through my stuff?? By whom?” I asked as I picked up my diary and looked for his facial reactions if he’s lying or not.
“Um…. Xemnas told me to!” Demyx replied.
I noticed that his left eye twitched after he said that sentence, making me smile.
“Liar……”
“No, wait!! I…. Fine…. Roxas ordered me to do it…”
“Wait…. You mean…. Roxas-Roxas?” Xion asked just to make sure.
Demyx nodded. I blushed madly and fainted on the bed.
“Demyx, you idiot! Now look what you’ve done!” Xion said as she slapped the back of Demyx’ head.
“What? I only told the truth!!”
“Demyx, that’s enough….” I heard Roxas’ voice in the room.
I held my breath, hoping the blush will go away….. I hope….
“W-Why do you want my diary, Roxas?” I asked, still fazed on the bed.
“Well…. I…. Want to know more about you since you’re new here, so….” Roxas said as he scratched his head and looks at an empty space in the room.
I gulped, my breathing quickened and fanned myself with my hand just before I sat up to look at everyone’s faces.
“What? I want to be friends with everyone in this club….” Roxas said, making me lose my blush completely.
Just friends? What does he mean by just friends? Sneaking a peek in someone’s diary isn’t necessary just to ask for friendship…. But…. I can let this one slip.
“Let’s just…. Forget everything that happened and start over, K, Roxas?” I said, putting my diary back in my drawer.
With that, I gestured for his hand to shake. He did and smiled. That smile always melted my heart.
He broke the handshake almost too quickly.
“Oops…. Haha…. I have sweaty palms…” he said as he wiped them with his pajamas.
“Nah, it’s fine…. It’s natural anyway…” I said, returning the smile with mine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As we all changed into our normal clothes, Roxas immediately went in my room to talk.
“So…. What does Ruxkia like to do since I’ve failed to sneak a peek into her private stuff?…..”
“Hmmm…. Well….. I like to do almost about anything…..”
“Which is…?”
“Haha…. OK…. I like to hang out with my friends….. Like I’m doing right now….. How ‘bout you?”
“Umm…. I like concentrating into something….. Something…. Beautiful that will set my mind ablaze with imagination and determination to accomplish it….”
“Wow…. That’s….. deep…” I smiled and looked into his eyes.
He looked at my face. He was still looking at it for the past ten seconds, making me blush and look away. I remembered what he said a while ago. Was he concentrating on me? Then, I must be something beautiful…..
“Yeah, it is…. But… I’m still concentrating on it…. I’m FAR from accomplishing it anyway….”
“Why don’t I help, then?”
“R-Really? You’ll help me?”
“Sure! Why not? That’s what friends are for, right?” I said, standing up from my seat and grabbing him by the arm. Still, I can’t help but feel sad that I used the word ‘friend’ in the sentence.
Now that I got him standing, I now let him take control.
He led me outside the hotel and into the garden. He picked up two long sticks on the ground and gave the other one to me.
“Well…. You can help me with my fencing skills……” Roxas said as he gets his stance ready.
I couldn’t do anything but gulp and hope for the best. I gripped the stick tightly, not sure if I’m holding it right though since I’m holding it ‘baseball-style’.
He smiled and walks over to me.
“Haha… see here… You relax and hold the stick in front of you so that you’ll be ready for any attacks the enemy might give you….” He said, guiding my body to the right stance.
“Well, that’s the basic stance…. Stances differ from person to person according to their combat styles…..” Roxas added as he went back to his normal place.
I froze, knowing that I acted like an idiot in front of Roxas and knowing that he guided my body single-handedly.
“Well, get ready, Ruxkia….” Roxas said as he gestures me to charge at him.
“Um… are you sure you want me to hit you, Roxas?” I said, my knees shaking.
“Come on… I’ll be fine… They’re just sticks….”
But they can be lethal if I hit a critical part of your body, I thought.
I charge at him and tried to ‘weakly’ attack him at his shoulder. He blocked it perfectly. I changed tactic and tried to hit his rib with the stick while he was busy at the block I gave him. He blocked it with ease.
Knowing, who I’m dealing with, I backed away. I’m a fast learner and that’s how I got in the club. I created my own stance and he immediately knew now that I’m serious this time.
I charge at him once again, aiming for his shoulders but faked it as soon as I saw him about to block it and side-stepped my way out of his sight just like a basketball player would do and brought the stick to a stop beside his neck. He noticed the stick on the ‘check-mate’ point and smiled.
“You’re good…. You sure you haven’t done this before?” Roxas said, laughing.
“I’m a fast learner….”
“And that’s all?”
“Well, I have been playing a lot of video-games and watched a lot of movies…..”
“I’ll keep that one in mind…” he laughs and I dropped my position.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Many more battles passed and we were equal with the scores.
“Hahaha! You up for a re-match?!” I said, still energized.
Roxas sat on the grassy ground and dropped his stick.
“Whew…. I think I’ll have a breather first…. And you’re not tired? No wonder Xemnas let you in the group…” Roxas smiled, panting.
I was ashamed of myself that I pushed Roxas to his limit and sat down beside him.
“Any luck with your accomplishment?” I asked to change the subject.
“Yea…. LOTS because of your help….” Roxas said as he stretched his arms and lied down on the grass.
I smiled and followed the same.
“And I actually accomplished something else besides that….” Roxas started as he looks at the sky.
“And that is….?"
He didn’t answer and sat up. He looks at me from below and gets on top of me.
I blushed madly and tried my best not to sweat.
“I…. made more of a friend out of you….” Roxas said as he leans in to my face.
His lips touch mine lovingly and carefully. I had my eyes open in shock but they soon close as the kiss continued. Soon, my arms were on top of his shoulders, urging him to deepen the kiss.
It worked and his tongue slides on my bottom lip, begging me to open my mouth. I granted the access and let him roam every inch of my mouth. I noticed his arms shaking from the time he’s preventing himself to fall on me. I smiled in the kiss and pulled him closer that his body touches mine.
His curves fit perfectly into mine and he finally relaxed at the position. We broke away, panting, our foreheads touching and breaths mixing.
“That was amazing….” Roxas said, finally opening his eyes to see mine.
“We should do this again tomorrow….” I replied, giggling as my fingers got tangled in his hair.
He nodded and stood up, asking my hand later on to help me up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Haha… Everyone should think twice before messing with you, Ruxkia…” Roxas said as we both got back inside my room to rest.
“Haha…. Yeah… I’ll finally show everyone…”
“Ruxkia?”
“Yes, Roxas?”
“You’ll always be my fencing partner…. OK?” He smiles and kisses me one more time on the lips.
“Always and forever will be, Roxas.” I replied as I hugged him.
I heard footsteps outside the door, but I don’t want to break the most secure hug in my entire life.
The door opened and Xion came in. She gasped at the scene and had her face in awe.
“I-I’m just gonna get my thing-a-ma-bob here….. D-Don’t mind me….” She said as she tries her best to cover her face and get her towel.
She was finally out of the room, scurrying like a rabbit to spread the news.
“Hey, wanna go for a swim?” Roxas asked me as he remembered there was a pool in the hotel.
“Why not? I can be your swimming and fencing partner at the same time….” I said, smirking.
“You sure you’re not a newbie at everything?” Roxas joked as he grabbed my extra towel in the bathroom and gave my original one to me.
I let my tongue out at him. I’m pretty sure about that.
