Your Love Pours Down On Me [Axel]

[valentine]

Val went through that day as usual. She got up and showered before any of her other roommates, and dressed in the usual school attire, except her skirt happened to be a few inches shorter than the rest of the girls. She then went to breakfast with her school bag strao hoisted onto her one shoulder. Her hair was pulled back in a high ponytail that swung when she walked. She ate breakfast and went off to her first class of the day.

She was a hufflepuff and apparently her teachers decided to pick in her. She had no idea why. Was it something they were picking up or was it just one of those days? In any case, she kept watching her crush who just so happened to be a Slytherin. She couldn't help it really, the way her heart sped up a heartbeat whenever he walked near her. She bit her lower lip and made her way back to her room.

She changed into a pair of tight jeans, a t-shirt that hugged her curvy upper half. She tugged on a pair of sneakers and went up to the owlery. She stared out of a window and turned hearing a pair of footsteps. Turning, she saw it was her crush and she felt her cheeks hear up. She knew they were now a light punk color and she played with her lip ring. "H-hello."

Axel had woken up early for some unknown reason. he laid in bed and stared up at the pictures he had posted there on the top. They made him smile and miss being home. Soon enough though he would be there and back with his family and friends. He would be tearing up the city and causing as much chaos as he wanted. That was how he did things. He sighed as he sat up and started getting ready for the day. his tie was loosened around his neck as he grabbed his bag and headed to class.

His classes were boring as always and he always sat slumped back in his seat thrumming his fingers on the desk top trying to work out the drum piece for a new song him and Cain were working on. It was a difficult piece but Axel was determined to get it done and make it good. His music was his life and he couldn't fail on it no matter what. His mother always said he immersed himself too much into it but how could he become successful in it if he didn't do that?

Once class was over he grabbed a bite to eat and headed back to his dorm. He changed into a pair of black skinny jeans with the knees torn out and a white shirt that had its sleeves ripped off. he pushed his hair to the side as he walked tot he sixth years dorm and banged on the door.

"Cain! What the hell are you doing? We need to get this done."

When no one answered he walked in and saw his brother wasn't there. He shook his head and walked back out. Of course he wasn't there. He was probably off with some girl or something. Axel walked down to the common room and looked around. Nope, no one. With a shake of his head he walked out and towards the owlery. he had to check on Rocker and see if she had any mail for him. It was a long climb but he didn't mind it. He was in pretty good shape. Once he got to the top he stopped to catch his breathe and he heard a small voice. looking over he recognized a girl from his class, a Hufflepuff. A rather attractive Hufflepuff mind you. He smiled a bright smile and walked in.

"Well hey there. Valentine, correct? I like the name. It suits you."

She stumbled backwards and hit the wall lightly. She had never been this close to him unless they were in class. She played with her lip ring twirling it around. "Th-thanks." She would never say it out loud, but she thought he was the hottest cutest person in their year. She had been admiring him from afar for three years now and was trying to do anything for him to notice her. Here he was standing in front of her and she was bloody stuttering? Why? Why was there even a reason for her to be nervous in front of him?

"I uh..." The blush deepened on her face and she looked down at the ground filled with straw. He probably knew she liked him without even having to say anything. "What made you travel all the way up here? I came up here to clear my head and try to think of how to tell this guy I like him and have liked him for three years." Her cheeks were now a bright red color and she really hoped he didn't notice. Reaching up, she tugged the ponytail holder out of her naturally curly hair. It fell to the middle of her back and it framed her face.

Looking up for her white owl, Snow, she figured she could check if she had mail. She whistled for her and she flew down and landed on her arm and she untied something from her leg and gave her a reward from her pocket. She opened the letter and saw it was from her mum. Lately, her dad hadn't been doing so well physically and she was really hoping he would get better. Shd sighed and folded the somber note back up shoving it in her pocket. She focused her attention back on Axel.

Axel smiled at her. She was nervous and she should be. I mean yeah he was a nice guy when he wanted to be but he was still a Slytherin and he was still a huge jerk sometimes. But she had done nothing wrong to him so right now he was being nice. He had never really noticed her before he was too caught up with his brother and their music to really notice anyone in particular. But now that he took time to look at her he had to admit she was very attractive and the way she played with her lip ring made him smirk as thoughts of biting it ran through his mind. He shook his head to rid his mind of those thoughts. they would only get him in trouble. Not like he really cared but she seemed innocent. Unlike Axel who was far from innocent.

"I came up to check on Rocker and see if I have some mail. So this guy. Do I know him or is he another Puff?"

Axel clicked his tongue and his Screech Owl, Rocker flew down with a parcel from his mom and dad. It was probably cookies from his mom and music stuff from his dad. He was eager to open it but it could wait until he was back in the common room. He hadn't meant Puff as a mean term but that was how they called the Hufflepuffs and it just kinda stuck. he was known as a Snake around school so it really wasn't any different if you thought about it. Axel fished out a treat from his pocket for Rocker and the owl rubbed her head against his hand. he smiled and scratched her. He loved this owl.

She smiled and stopped twirling her lip ring long enough to answer him. She followed her owl with her eyes as she flew back up to where she was before Val had whistled for her. She smiled as the owl tucked her hea underneath one of her wings and fell asleep. She knew around the school that Hufflepuffs were known as "Puffs". She ran one hand through her hair ruffling it lightly and she smiled flirtaciously at Axel. "Oh you know him all right. Much better than anyone else in fact. He just so happens to be in the same room we're standing in now."

She smirked knowing there wasn't even anyone else in the room except the two of them. She just wanted to get her feelings out in the open for him. "In fact, I've had a crush on him since fifth year and wonder if he could even like me back. I like music and I know for fact that he does as well." She smirked and looked at the ground fearing the worst thing there was which was rejection. She thought of making out with Axel, but shook her head to get rid of those kinds of thoughts. She knew her parents would never approve, but she didn't give a damn. It was her life to live, not theirs.
