Kindergarten Blues

"But mommy! I don't wanna go!"

"Come on, sweetie. It's a really nice place"

"But I want to stay here with you and daddy! Please?" said the little multicolored blondish-red five year old boy. "I can start school in a few years. I promise! Pretty please?!"

The boy's spiky blond 'mother' knelt down to his eye level. "Roxel, you have to go. I know you want to stay with us, but it's really important that you learn as well."

"Yeah kiddo. Your mommy Roxy is right," said Axel as he knelt down as well, putting his hand on Roxel's head. "And it's not like we're gonna leave you here!"

Hearing this, Roxel started to cry. "Y..You're gonna... leave me here...?" Tears started to trail down his face.

Roxas pulled his son close. "We will be here to pick you up directly after school lets out, okay? We would never leave you. We love you too much." He smiles and kisses the little boy's head. "Now go on. Why don't you make some friends?"

"Come on little pyro," Axel said as he nudged the small boy at the door of his Kindergarten class. He started calling Roxel that ever since he was a baby. He would always cling to Axel or follow him everywhere, that is, when he learned how to crawl and walk. He would always try to imitate his father. Roxas chuckled as Axel tried his hardest to see their child off to school. Appearantly, even his own pyro couldn't even get his little one to budge. Roxel just stood there, not moving his feet. As soon as Axel stopped nudging Roxel, he clinged onto his leg as he stood up.

"But I don't know anybody in there! I'm scared... that no one will like me..." said their little one as he looked down.

Roxas turned his son towards him, allowing Axel to have his leg back. "Why wouldn't anybody like you? You're one of the best people that we know of! I'm sure you'll make a ton of friends," he said, hugging his son.

Axel turned around hearing footsteps behind him. "Well Roxy, look who just showed up!" he said chuckling. Down the hallway, he saw two of their friends that they haven't seen in years.

"Wow. Haven't seen you two in a while," said Zexion, holding the hand of another small boy.

"Axel! Roxas!" yelled Demyx, bounding down the hallways like he was one of the kindergarteners. "I missed you all so much!" he said, hugging poor Roxas to death.

"Nice to see you two again," said Roxas. "Who do we have here?" Both him and Axel looked down at the small boy that was holding onto Zexion's hand. He looked so much like both of them.

Zexion looks down and sees his son hiding behind him. "This is Zemyx. He's... our son," he said smiling. It's rare when he does smile.

Zemyx held onto his 'mother's' hand and hid behind his backside, only to peek a glance at the little pyro, who was standing behind Roxas. Zemyx, seeing as it was alright to come out, started walking up to the small little blond/red headed boy. "H..Hi.. I'm Zemyx. What's your name?"

Roxel was still clinging onto Roxas's pant leg. "Go on Roxel. Introduce yourself," said Roxas.

Roxel nervously stepped out behind his mother and walked towards the small blondish-blue headed boy. "I...I'm Roxel," he said, starting to smile a little bit.

Zemyx smiled. "Nice to meet you Roxel!" Roxel blushed slightly. "Do you want to go into class with me? I don't really want to go alone...."

Roxel looked up at his parents, making sure it was okay. They both nodded. Zemyx walked up and grabbed Roxel's hand. Both sets of parents watched as their little ones set off to their class together.

"Isn't that one of the cutest things you'll ever see? Isn't it Zexy?" Demyx asked his husband.

"It is actually...." replied Zexion, who smiled a little wider. "Wonder what they're gonna be like when they get older?"

Axel looks at him, chuckling. "I don't want to know that right now. All that matters is that they get along."
