PARTY
Disclaimer: If I owned Kingdom Hearts do you honestly think Axel and Roxas would have been wearing those coats? No, they would have been butt naked and having hot, explicit, boy on boy sex!
Warning: If you're still reading this you know what's here.
Pairings: Marluxia x don't you want to know?, Axel x Roxas, Riku x Sora, Xemnas x Saix, Sephiroth x Cloud, Larxene x Amsen (don't ask I don't even know what I was thinking)
Axel's eyes were fixed on the TV in front of him, not really seeing the images but still enraptured. I'm so ADD; I can't even pay attention to the show I want to see. But they are pretty pictures. God I'm spending too much time around Sora, he's starting to rub off on me. Axel suddenly became aware that Roxas was staring at him. Axel turned his attention back to the TV, finally seeing the images that flickered over it. It was a great TV, a brand new plasma flat screen. Roxas had finally relented and bought it after getting fed up with Axel using his computer to watch shows whenever he came over. The blond was always working on some report, so he would sit and let the redhead entertain himself. Axel had finally figured out how to get a real TV, he had started downloading porn onto Roxas' computer. Less than a week later he had his flat screen.
"Hey Ax?" Roxas' voice cut through the memory.
"Mm," Axel didn't really want to deal with another guilt trip over how he got the TV.
"I've got something to show you."
"Can it wait till commercial?" Axel asked. He had a sneaking suspicion that it was the virus report, his download porn to get a TV only worked because the computer was currently weighed down with a virus that brought up rather explicit pictures at random.
"I suppose," came a heavy sigh.
Crap, now I have to deal with the guilt during the commercials. Don't go to commercial, don't go to commercial, don't go to, oh shit. "I've got to pee," Axel jumped up as soon as he saw the show flick off.
"Wait," Roxas commanded softly causing Axel to stop in his flight, "This is really important. Here, take a look at this."
Axel took the piece of paper the blond held out to him. Looking down he didn't see what he was expecting. It wasn't a bill for computer repair, nor was it anything else that seemed threatening. Axel's name was on it though, but he still didn't know what it was. "Um," Axel looked back up at Roxas. The blond had the largest smile he had ever seen. "What is this?"
Roxas frowned slightly, "It's a letter from Vexen. You've officially completed treatment."
"I've what?"
The grin had returned to the blonde's face, but Axel was no less confused. "You've officially completed all your court ordered therapy and are no longer a threat to the population."
"Does this mean I never have to see that freak again?" Axel didn't even try to keep the hope out of his voice. If this meant he didn't have to see Vexen again then today was by far the best day of his life.
"That's exactly what it means."
Axel stared at the blond for a moment before launching himself in a flying, tackle, glomp. He barely heard the indignant squawk that Roxas let out as he was knocked to the ground; he was far to busy trying to squeeze the breath out of him. "I never have to see that icy bastard again!" Axel would have been doing a happy dance had he not been giving Roxas a bear hug. He really hated Vexen, he didn't even try to hide it. There was something about being constantly scrutinized like some kind of experiment that just drove the redhead up the wall.
"It's kind of funny, that's almost exactly what Vexen said about having to see you again," Roxas laughed, "Hey Ax, can you let me go?"
"Okay!" Axel sat the blond down and immediately started into his happy dance and began chanting in a sing song voice, "I don't have to go back! I don't have to go back!"
It was only Roxas' ruckus laughter that made the redhead stop. Tilting his head to glance back over his shoulder, Axel saw the blond clutching his stomach, eyes screwed up as he shook from obvious mirth. "Oh my god!" Roxas' voice cracked as he spoke, "I can't believe you just did that! You looked just like Sora!"
Damn it Axel! I have got to stop hanging out with him. "Don't make fun of me," Axel placed his hands on his hips, "You'd be happy if you never had to see Vexen again."
'True," Roxas straightened up and wiped his eyes, "We should go celebrate, my treat."
"Well," Axel slid over to the blond and snaked an arm around his waist, "If it's your treat then I can't exactly say no."
"Great, let's go."
"Go?" Axel didn't move as the blond started to walk away, "I thought we were going to celebrate."
"We are," Roxas stopped and looked back at the redhead, "Why?"
"Um," Axel glanced over at the bedroom door, "I thought we were going to um, you know."
Roxas burst out laughing again. Am I really that funny? I mean, it's not like I was trying to make a joke or anything. "Maybe later," great, Roxas was laughing so hard he was actually crying, "If there's time."
"Oh there will be time," Axel declared as he walked up to the blond who immediately stopped laughing, "Now give me the car keys and let's go."
"Nope," Roxas had turned on his heel and was walking out the apartment door, "I'm driving today. After all, you don't know where we're going."
"Well where are we going?"
The blond stopped and threw a smirk over his shoulder at Axel, "That's for me to know and you to find out."
I hate it when he gives me that look; it makes me feel like something bad is going to happen. "I don't like surprises," Axel tried to get some kind of clue from the blond.
"Sure you do," Roxas said cheerfully as he approached his car, "You're always pulling them on me."
"But that doesn't mean I like them on me."
"Then don't be a hypocrite," Roxas had climbed into the driver's seat and was looking up at Axel with an almost expectant glint in his eyes.
With a heavy sigh Axel climbed into the passenger's seat and glared at the dashboard. Doing his best to appear completely depressed, the redhead resigned himself to his fate. Just watch, he'll take me to a water park or somewhere else I hate. Axel tried to keep track of where they were going so he could make a quick escape should the need arise, but found it impossible. It was almost like the blond was taking the most indirect route he could think of. Didn't we already pass that building? I could have sworn we did, but I highly doubt we're actually going in circles. No, we are! There's that building again. "Why are we going in circles?" Axel looked expectantly at Roxas.
Roxas just sat there, a blank look on his face. Finally he shifted his eyes over to Axel. "So you can't escape?" it sounded suspiciously like a question.
"You're lost aren't you?"
"No!" Roxas actually seemed offended by that.
"Okay, jeeze," Axel crossed his arms and slumped back into his chair. Stupid surprises, now Rox is mad at me. I blame Vexen, I'm not sure how but this is his fault. "So where are we going?" no harm in trying to get information.
"I'm not telling you," Roxas cut his words short and glared out the windshield, "So stop asking."
Shut up Axel! You're just making Roxas angrier. Axel sat silently fuming and started to play with his seat belt. Looking back out the window, Axel noticed that there weren't many buildings along the road. Glancing over at Roxas to make sure the blond wasn't paying attention to him, Axel started to try to read the street signs that they passed. Alright, so we're on highway 62 heading south. What's to the south of town? Um, the stupid freaking water park, that orchard I'm no longer allowed in, the wine place, bed and breakfasts, and that's it before you reach the ocean. Oh, I hope it's the wine place, I wanna get wasted! No, better yet a bed and breakfast, then I can have all sorts of Roxy time. Well if it's the water park I'm pantsing Roxas, he knows I hate that place. I don't care if I lose my Roxy time, I'm not going there. But he didn't grab any swim trunks, so maybe that's not it. Man wouldn't it be funny if he brought me to the orchard? The owners swore they'd kill me if I ever showed up again. It wasn't that big of a fire anyway, I don't see what they big deal was. I had no idea apple trees burned that fast though.
Axel resigned himself to having to wait and see and after about half an hour of staring out the window, fell asleep. "We're here!" a voice rang through the darkness shrouding Axel's mind.
"No syrup Mr. Fuffers," Axel mumbled, "I like my pork chops with whipped cream."
"What?" the voice asked.
"Huh?" Axel opened his eyes to find his face pressed against the car window, "Where am I?"
"In my car drooling on the glass," Axel turned his head to see a very amused Roxas, "Come on, we don't have all day."
"All day to what?" the redhead sat up and tried to take in his surroundings. The car had been parked in front of a cabin right on the beach, it was actually very pretty. "We went to the beach?"
"Yep," Roxas got out of the car and bent down to continue talking to the redhead, "I rented a cabin for the weekend. We only have about three more hours of sunlight so we need to hurry if we want any beach time today. Come on and help me bring the bags in."
"Bags?" Axel followed the blonde's example and got out of the car. The wind was rather nice, not too hard and with a warmth to it. The smell from the ocean filled the redhead's senses, effectively waking him up.
"Yeah, I packed up a bunch of our stuff without you noticing."
"How long have you known that I'm done with Vexen?" Axel walked to the back of the car and started to help Roxas unload the few bags in the back.
"Two days now," Roxas closed the trunk and started up to the cabin, "But Vexen told me that you only had one more session about a week ago."
"And you didn't tell me?" the pair had come to the front door by this point. Axel would have been thoroughly pissed if it weren't for the fact that he had Roxas at the beach for a whole weekend. Just me, Roxas, no clothes, and the beach, this is going to be awesome.
"That would have ruined the," Roxas paused as he opened the door.
"SURPRISE!" came a loud chorus from inside the cabin.
"What?" Axel dropped the bag in his hand and stared at the group inside the cabin. It seemed that all the people the redhead was willing to tolerate were packed into the cabin's living room. From where he was standing, Axel could see Larxene draped around her boyfriend Amsen, his boss Xemnas and his boyfriend Saix, Riku (surprisingly without Sora who appeared from one of the other rooms seconds later), Sephiroth (who wasn't that bad now that Axel had gotten to know him), Cloud, Rikku, and Paine. "How did, why are, what the hell?"
"I called everyone up and had them come down for the night," Roxas wrapped an arm around Axel's waist and the redhead allowed himself to be drawn into the cabin, "I thought it would be nice to have a little party to celebrate that you are no longer a danger to society."
"Oh," Axel heard the disappointment in his own voice and didn't particularly care to hide it.
"What's the matter?" Larxene called from Amsen's lap, "Aren't you happy to see us?"
"I thought I was going to have Roxy time," Axel said dejectedly.
The blond standing next to him started to sputter, his eyes wide. The entire room, minus Sora, burst out in laughter. "Ew," Sora crinkled his nose, "That's gross."
"You don't think it's gross when we have alone time," Riku pulled the brunet into a hug.
"But that's different," Sora snuggled into the embrace.
"Where's Marluxia?" Roxas' voice was a few octaves higher than it normally was.
"Don't know," Paine shrugged.
"I saw him heading back down the hallway with his girlfriend a few minutes ago," Rikku pointed over her shoulder.
"I'm going to go get him," Roxas walked away from the still snickering group.
"Wait," Axel frowned at Rikku, "Didn't you say he left with, oh no, Roxas."
"Oh dear god!" there came a slamming from down the hall and Axel ran in the direction that it had come from.
Coming around a corner, Axel saw a dead white Roxas pressing a door closed. "What happened?" Axel walked towards the blond cautiously.
"I didn't know Marluxia had naturally pink hair," Roxas muttered.
"Yeah, most people think it's a dye jo," Axel stopped and eyed the blond suspiciously, "How do you know it's his natural hair color?"
"He's naked, with a girl," Roxas looked like he was going to throw up. Suddenly his face twisted into a look of pure venom, "In the cabin that I rented, he is so dead."
"Marluxia, run!" Axel warned his friend.
His warning was ignored and the door swung open to reveal a rather disheveled looking Marluxia and a woman with short brown hair that had what appeared to be a tail hanging from the back of it. "Sorry about that Roxy," Marluxia grinned sheepishly at the fuming blond, "Yuna and I got a little carried away; we didn't think you would show up before we were done."
Yuna smacked the pinkette on the back of the head, a frown creasing her brow. "I'm really sorry for that," she turned to smile at Roxas, "Marly kind of tricked me into that. Don't worry; I'll cut him off for a week in order to teach him a lesson about respecting other people's homes."
"A week!" Marluxia's mouth dropped open and Axel didn't even try to stop the snicker he let out, "But that's not fair, you were in on it too, you should get punished as well."
"Fine," Yuna headed down the hall towards the other guests, "Two weeks of no sex for either of us."
"But, but," Marluxia followed after his girlfriend, desperately trying to find some way out of the situation.
"Why is he your friend again?" Roxas was pinching the bridge of his nose, never a good sign for Axel.
"You know," Axel actually stopped to think about that one, "I have no idea. I think it had to do with us both being horny in high school and me thinking he was gay."
"You're still horny," Roxas laughed slightly, greatly easing the tension that Axel was feeling at that moment, "And I still think he's gay."
"He's not," Axel leaned against the wall and sent Roxas a smile, "I've never seen him even look at another man if he wasn't checking out what they were wearing."
"Come on," Roxas took Axel's hand, sending little tingles through the redhead's body, "Let's go back to the party."
Axel allowed himself to be drawn back to the group sitting in the living room. Looking around the redhead couldn't spot Marluxia or Yuna anywhere, but after a moment he heard their voices coming from outside. Axel smirked slightly to himself; no doubt Marluxia was trying to convince Yuna to lift her ban on sex. It's true; we are still both horny, we haven't changed a bit since high school. Striding into the sitting group, Axel found Sora pushing a red plastic cup into his hands and smiling up at him. Without even thinking, the redhead took a sip of the amber liquid. Mm, alcohol, this could be fun. Now if there is one thing you should never do, that's drink a mysterious alcoholic beverage concocted by Sora. Unfortunately for Axel, Roxas never warned him about his twin's inability to safely create anything for consumption, and the redhead downed the drink without a second thought. Looking back on it later, Axel would say that was probably the worst decision he made that day, but that was only because he couldn't remember what happened after that.
Me: Ah, middle note! So don't quit reading here because I didn't tell you what happened at the party, because Roxas remembers. Also please excuse any drop in quality as I'm writing the rest of this with a slight concussion.
Roxas' eyes flickered over the piece of paper in his hands, a smile forming on his lips. From his spot on the couch in his living room, the blond looks over at Axel. The redhead was lying on his stomach in front of the newly purchased TV, remote in hand. While Roxas hated to disturb him, Axel seemed to be staring at the current show with unblinking eyes; the blond just couldn't keep this to himself. "Hey Ax?" Roxas called over to the redhead.
"Mm," Axel didn't take his eyes away from the flickering images.
"I've got something to show you."
"Can it wait till commercial?"
"I suppose," Roxas sighed. He's going to flip when I tell him this, I can almost guarantee he doesn't already know. He would have told me if someone had already told him, wouldn't he? Roxas' cheeks were hurting by the time the commercial came on his smile was so large.
"I've got to pee," Axel announced and tried to make a break for it.
"Wait," Roxas dropped his smile at the redhead's attempted escape. He thinks this is about the computer. That's right, I didn't tell him that Sephiroth fixed it for me. Who would have guessed he was the originator of that virus? Well actually I would, but still. "This is really important. Here, take a look at this." Roxas had to fight to keep his voice even; he was suddenly feeling rather giggly. I can't wait to see his reaction.
The redhead just stared at the piece of paper that Roxas had given him, a blank look on his face. Oh come on, this is all I get? I was expecting some serious rejoicing on his part, maybe even his little happy dance. "Um," Axel glanced from the paper to Roxas, "What is this?"
Roxas felt his face fall, he had thought it was pretty obvious, "It's a letter from Vexen. You've officially completed treatment."
"I've what?" Axel looked completely confused.
The oddly giggly feeling returned and Roxas could tell he was grinning like an idiot once again."You've officially completed all your court ordered therapy," Roxas repeated himself, "And are no longer a threat to the population."
"Does this mean I never have to see that freak again?" the redhead sounded oddly hopeful.
Roxas had to stop himself from laughing at Axel's description of Vexen. I knew he didn't like Vexen but I've never heard Axel refer to him as a freak before. "That's exactly what it means."
Axel looked slightly dumbfounded, but the reality seemed to sink in fairly quickly. The redhead launched himself at Roxas and knocked the blond off his feet, held tight in a bear hug. "I never have to see that icy bastard again!" Axel seemed to be trying to squeeze the life out of Roxas, the blond could barely breath. Roxas felt himself being jostled around as the redhead wiggled around in what could only be assumed to be joy.
"It's kind of funny, that's almost exactly what Vexen said about having to see you again," Roxas didn't stop himself from laughing at the redhead's reaction. It was almost exactly what Vexen had said, only instead of icy bastard it had been pyro freak. "Hey Ax, can you let me go?"
"Okay!" Axel didn't really seem too aware of the blond as he set Roxas down. The redhead started into his little happy dance and began to sing, much to Roxas' amusement, "I don't have to go back! I don't have to go back!"
Roxas wouldn't have been able to stop himself from laughing if he tried; the sight was just too funny. The blond took hold of his stomach in an attempt to lessen a side cramp that quickly developed. "Oh my god!" Roxas pointed at the redhead who had finally stopped his butt swaying, "I can't believe you just did that! You looked just like Sora!"
"Don't make fun of me," Axel put his hands on his hips, only making him look like a disgruntled woman, "You'd be happy if you never had to see Vexen again."
"True," Roxas did his best to suppress his mirth and straightened up, wiping the tears out of his eyes, "We should go celebrate, my treat."
"Well," Axel slid over to Roxas and adopted a rather familiar smirk, "If it's your treat then I can't exactly say no."
"Great, let's go," Roxas turned on his heal and started towards the door. That's not a look that I particularly care to indulge right now.
"Go?" Axel seemed completely dumbfounded by Roxas' actions, "I thought we were going to celebrate."
"We are," Roxas turned back to the baffled redhead, desperately suppressing his laughter, "Why?"
"Um," Axel's eyes flicked towards Roxas' bedroom, "I thought we were going to um, you know."
Roxas couldn't contain his laughter at that and nearly doubled over when it erupted out of him. "Maybe later," Roxas felt tears streaming down his face as he shook, "If there's time."
"Oh there will be time," Axel's blatant announcement caused Roxas to fall silent, "Now give me the car keys and let's go."
"Nope," Roxas turned away and headed out the door. No way I'm telling him where we're going, besides if he drives right now we'll end up in an accident, he's in that much of a hurry to get my celebration over with and start his own. "I'm driving today. After all, you don't know where we're going."
"Well where are we going?"
Roxas sent a knowing smirk over his shoulder at the redhead, "That's for me to know and you to find out."
Axel actually started to sulk and muttered a dejected, "I don't like surprises."
"Sure you do, you're always pulling them on me."
"But that doesn't mean I like them on me."
"Then don't be a hypocrite," Roxas pointed out as he climbed into his car. Looking over to find Axel still standing outside the car with a rather put off expression on his face, Roxas had to smile encouragingly and with only a slight amount of amusement for the redhead's obvious disdain.
Axel gave a heavy sigh and climbed into the passenger's seat before throwing another disgruntled look at Roxas. Man you'd think I was kidnapping him or something. It's not that big a deal that I won't tell him where we're going, though he might get a little pissy when it takes two hours to get to the beach house. All right, how did I get there again? Crap, I should have printed out the directions. No, then Axel would be able to look at them and that would ruin the surprise. Think Roxas, was it highway 62 or 72? This makes a big difference, so remember already. It was 62, I'm sure of it. "Why are we going in circles?" Axel looked over at Roxas quizzically.
Shit! He noticed, I thought he was to busy sulking over not having sex to pay attention to where we were going. Think of an excuse damn it! "So you can't escape?" Damn that came out like a question.
"You're lost aren't you?"
"No!" Shit he did notice!
"Okay, jeeze," Axel sat back with his arms crossed, his annoyance obvious to anyone, "So where are we going?"
"I'm not telling you," Roxas almost winced at how sharp his words came out, "So stop asking."
The redhead slumped dejectedly in his seat and began to play with his seatbelt. Maybe I was too hard on him. I shouldn't have yelled at him that was just mean. Alright Roxas, just apologize to him, not that hard to do. Roxas glanced over at Axel and saw the redhead's head whip around as the car passed a road sign. That little sneak, he's trying to figure out where we're going from the signs. I suppose I can't really get mad about that, I would be doing the same thing. He probably thinks I'm bringing him to that water park, like I don't know that he hates that place. There's no way he'll guess that I rented a beach house though, I've never mentioned anything like it to him before. Roxas stared blankly out the wind shield at the road, occasionally throwing sideways glances at the redhead. After about twenty minutes he noticed Axel's eyes beginning to droop and a rather malicious thought crept into his head. Quickly the blond turned off the radio, throwing the car into complete silence. Axel's eyes finally closed all the way and his head laid against the glass of the car window. Seeing that the redhead had fallen asleep Roxas sped up, eager to get to the beach.
Nearly an hour and a half later the car pulled up to a nice cabin sitting only about a hundred feet from the surf. Putting the car into park, Roxas turned to the redhead and said cheerfully, "We're here!"
"No syrup Mr. Fuffers," Axel seemed to nuzzle into the window in his attempt to stay asleep, "I like my pork chops with whipped cream."
"What?" Roxas was slightly taken aback by that comment.
"Huh?" Axel moaned and opened his eyes, "Where am I?"
That made Roxas smile, Axel just seemed so adorable at that moment, "In my car drooling on the glass. Come on, we don't have all day."
"All day for what?" Axel said. The redhead sat up and wiped the drool from his mouth, internally Roxas let out a cooing noise at how innocent the redhead was looking at that moment. Axel looked around with a slightly dazed expression, again Roxas had an internal girl moment. "We went to the beach?"
"Yep," Roxas got out of the car and collected himself, "I rented a cabin for the weekend. We only have about three more hours of sunlight so we need to hurry if we want any beach time today. Come on and help me bring the bags in."
"Bags?" Axel hadn't seemed to have woken up quite yet.
"Yeah," Roxas watched the redhead get out of the car and take a deep breath, his chest becoming suddenly fascinating, "I packed up a bunch of our stuff without you noticing."
"How long have you known that I'm done with Vexen?" Axel had come around the car and took the bag that Roxas held out to him.
"Two days now," Roxas closed the car trunk and headed to the cabin door, "But Vexen told me that you only had one more session about a week ago."
"And you didn't tell me?" Axel said accusingly, though he didn't sound too pissed. Roxas had a pretty good idea that was because he was having some rather pervy thoughts at the moment, and the glazed over grin that suddenly adorned his features only proved that theory.
Putting one hand on the door handle, Roxas could barely contain himself. Raising his voice slightly he said, "That would have ruined the,"
"SURPRISE!" a loud chorus called as the door swung open.
"What?" Axel dropped his bag with a thud as he stared at the group inside the cabin, "How did, why are, what the hell?"
Roxas let his gaze wonder over the collected people, smiling even wider than before as he took in the redhead's friends. He had been slightly taken aback at how Axel had become close to Sephiroth and Riku, not so much Riku as he hadn't attacked Axel the first time they met, but he was still getting used to Sephiroth being on anyone's good side. The blond could make out Larxene on the opposite side of the room draped over the lap of some man Roxas had never met. A tan silver haired man with orange eyes was standing next to a man with deep blue hair and a scar across his face, Roxas thought they were Axel's boss and his boyfriend but wasn't sure what their names were. Cloud was hanging off of Sephiroth's shoulders and Roxas had to suppress a scowl that his brother had come along. He did send a disgruntled look at Sora when his twin came walking out of the kitchen. A short blond girl in a bikini top and daisy duke shorts was standing next to a woman with slate hair in all black, Roxas thought their names were Rikku and Paine. Turning back to his own redhead, Roxas couldn't stop the smile on his face from brightening considerably. "I called everyone up and had them come down for the night," he wrapped an arm around Axel's waist and pulled him into the cabin, "I thought it would be nice to have a little party to celebrate that you are no longer a danger to society."
"Oh," Axel's obvious disappointment caused Roxas to pause and look up at him.
"What's the matter?" Larxene voiced the question that was on Roxas' lips, "Aren't you happy to see us?"
"I thought I was going to have Roxy time," the redhead muttered.
As soon as Axel uttered those words, Roxas felt his face heating up and lost all coherent thought. He had known that Axel was a horny little bugger, but he honestly wasn't prepared for the redhead to voice that fact. It didn't help the blond when the entire room burst out laughing, everyone except Sora seemed thoroughly amused by the redhead's statement.
"Ew," Sora looked like he had smelled something rotten, "That's gross."
"You don't think it's gross when we have alone time," Riku pulled the brunet into a tight embrace.
"But that's different," Sora giggled into Riku's chest.
"Where's Marluxia?" Roxas desperately tried to change the subject. He did not need the image of his twin brother going at it with Riku, almost as much as he did not need the entire room to be focused on his sex life.
"Don't know," the woman with slate hair, Paine, said with a slight shrug.
"I saw him heading back down the hallway with his girlfriend a few minutes ago," her blond bikini clad companion pointed down the hall that was attached to the living room.
"I'm going to go get him," there was no way Roxas was going to stay and get laughed at. Walking do the indicated hallway, Roxas passed two open doors and finally stopped at a closed one. Pausing, he could hear giggling coming from within the room. With a slight sigh he pushed the door open and immediately wished he hadn't. There stood Marluxia, stark nude, with a fully clothed brunette woman. "Oh dear god!" Roxas yelled and slammed the door closed.
Leaning against the door for support, Roxas watched as Axel came bounding down the hallway. "What happened?" Axel slowed and glanced between Roxas' face and the closed door.
"I didn't know Marluxia had naturally pink hair," was all Roxas could think to say.
"Yeah, most people think it's a dye jo," what Roxas had said seemed to have sunken in, "How do you know it's his natural hair color?"
"He's naked, with a girl," Roxas motioned over his shoulder at the door. Suddenly it sunk in, Marluxia was trying to nail some girl in the expensive cabin that Roxas was paying for. "In the cabin that I rented, he is so dead," Roxas let his words drip venom in his fury, he was looking forward to the kill.
"Marluxia," Axel suddenly called, "Run!"
Damn it Axel, don't warn him! Luckily for Roxas, Marluxia didn't seem to think the warning had any merit. The door swung open to reveal the pinkette and brunette woman. "Sorry about that Roxy," Marluxia grinned sheepishly down at the severely pissed blond. I'll shave his freaking head, that should teach him a lesson. The pink haired man continued before Roxas could act, "Yuna and I got a little carried away; we didn't think you would show up before we were done." Like that makes it okay?
The woman, Yuna, seemed to think the same thing as Roxas as she gave Marluxia a rather nice smack on the back of the head as she scowled at him. "I'm really sorry for that," the smile she sent Roxas seemed completely genuine and helped to calm his temper. Gazing at the woman, Roxas suddenly realized she had one green eye and one blue, reminding him of his own mother and immediately liking her. "Marly kind of tricked me into that," she continued, "Don't worry; I'll cut him off for a week in order to teach him a lesson about respecting other people's homes." I love this woman!
"A week!" Marluxia's face was priceless and Roxas had to stifle a satisfied laugh, though Axel didn't seem to bother and let out one of his own, "But that's not fair, you were in on it too, you should get punished as well."
"Fine," Yuna turned on her heel and headed back towards the living room, "Two weeks of no sex for either of us."
"But, but," Marluxia seemed at a loss for words as he followed after the brunette.
"Why is he your friend again?" Roxas pinched his nose in frustration.
"You know," Axel seemed to have to think about that one, "I have no idea. I think it had to do with us both being horny in high school and me thinking he was gay."
"You're still horny," Roxas snorted, "And I still think he's gay." There is no way that he's straight, even if he was just trying to have sex with a woman.
"He's not. I've never seen him even look at another man if he wasn't checking out what they were wearing."
"Come on," Roxas took Axel's hand and started back towards the living room, "Let's go back to the party."
Axel didn't seem the least bit inclined to stay in the hall and let Roxas pull him down the hallway without any trouble. Once they had reentered the living room Roxas dropped the redhead's hand and headed over to one of the windows where he could have sworn he heard yelling. Sure enough there was Marluxia and Yuna fighting with one another. Roxas had to suppress the satisfied smirk that threatened to break over his features at the pink haired man's expression. He wouldn't deny that he was happy that Marluxia was obviously suffering, but wasn't going to show that feeling to the world just yet. Turning back to the party, Roxas caught sight of a very smug looking Sora passing out drinks. Suddenly the blond had a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach, it was never a good sign when Sora was in contact with something people would be consuming. Knowing there was nothing he could do, Roxas started to look for Axel and was filled with what could only be described as ass clenching terror when he saw the redhead downing a drink.
"Where did you get that?" he asked cautiously as he walked over to his boyfriend.
"Sora gave it to me," the redhead swung an arm around Roxas' shoulder, "You should have one, they're really good."
"SORA!" Roxas spun to face his brother, "What did you give him?"
"Lemonade!" the brunet chirped. His face was slightly pink and he swayed slightly on the spot.
"You're already drunk aren't you?" the blond buried his face in his hand.
"Yuppers!" Sora nodded enthusiastically and skipped, yes skipped, away. The rest of the evening went something like this.
Roxas, "Stop giving people alcohol Sora!"
Sora, "Drink, drink, drink!"
Sephiroth, "Let's all get naked!"
Group, "No one wants to see you naked Sephiroth!"
Sephiroth, "Too bad!"
Roxas, "Everyone give me your car keys."
Axel, "I'm a ballerina!"
Roxas, "Stop drinking everything Sora gives you!"
Sora, "Drink, drink, drink!"
Riku, "Let's all go swimming!"
Group passes out.
Finally once the group was mostly unconscious, Roxas was able to get some time with Axel. It seemed that the redhead had an amazing alcohol tolerance as after nearly seven of Sora's 'lemonades' he was still standing. It would have been more, but Roxas had refused to allow him to take any more alcohol into his system.
"Hey, hey, Roxy!" Axel was bouncing up and down as he looked at the blond.
"Yes Axel," Roxas didn't really care for this hyper version of drunk all that much.
"Let's go outside!" the redhead said as he grabbed Roxas' hand.
Roxas found himself being literally dragged out of the cabin and down onto the beach. "Hey," Roxas stammered as he stumbled over some rocks, "Slow down Axel."
"Oh, I have the best idea ever!" the redhead stopped dead, a look of total epiphany on his face.
"Yes Axel."
"Let's blow something up!"
Roxas face immediately became reacquainted with his face, a loud smack ringing across the now dark beach. "You just got certified as a cured pyromaniac Axel," the blond groaned, "You can't blow anything up."
"Oh, right," Axel looked thoughtful for a moment before brightening up again, "Let's go skinny dipping!"
"Axel," Roxas grabbed the redhead as he made a bee line for the water, "You are too drunk to go swimming, you'll drown. Why don't we just go back inside and go to sleep?"
"But that's no fun," the redhead pouted.
"It can be," Roxas raised an eyebrow suggestively. He had absolutely no intention of actually following through with his suggestion, but he had to get the redhead away from any potential drowning hazard.
"Yeah!" Roxas found himself thrown over Axel's shoulder as the redhead sprinted back towards the cabin, "I get Roxy time!"
Axel ran into the house and didn't seem too concerned with avoiding the passed out forms of his friends as he barreled down the hallway and into the bedroom. Roxas was set down and the blond made sure to close the door. When he turned back around, he found the redhead passed out cold on the bed snoring loudly. With a slight smile Roxas laid down next to him and gave the sleeping redhead a small kiss before closing his eyes and drifting off himself.
Warning: If you're still reading this you know what's here.
Pairings: Marluxia x don't you want to know?, Axel x Roxas, Riku x Sora, Xemnas x Saix, Sephiroth x Cloud, Larxene x Amsen (don't ask I don't even know what I was thinking)
Axel's eyes were fixed on the TV in front of him, not really seeing the images but still enraptured. I'm so ADD; I can't even pay attention to the show I want to see. But they are pretty pictures. God I'm spending too much time around Sora, he's starting to rub off on me. Axel suddenly became aware that Roxas was staring at him. Axel turned his attention back to the TV, finally seeing the images that flickered over it. It was a great TV, a brand new plasma flat screen. Roxas had finally relented and bought it after getting fed up with Axel using his computer to watch shows whenever he came over. The blond was always working on some report, so he would sit and let the redhead entertain himself. Axel had finally figured out how to get a real TV, he had started downloading porn onto Roxas' computer. Less than a week later he had his flat screen.
"Hey Ax?" Roxas' voice cut through the memory.
"Mm," Axel didn't really want to deal with another guilt trip over how he got the TV.
"I've got something to show you."
"Can it wait till commercial?" Axel asked. He had a sneaking suspicion that it was the virus report, his download porn to get a TV only worked because the computer was currently weighed down with a virus that brought up rather explicit pictures at random.
"I suppose," came a heavy sigh.
Crap, now I have to deal with the guilt during the commercials. Don't go to commercial, don't go to commercial, don't go to, oh shit. "I've got to pee," Axel jumped up as soon as he saw the show flick off.
"Wait," Roxas commanded softly causing Axel to stop in his flight, "This is really important. Here, take a look at this."
Axel took the piece of paper the blond held out to him. Looking down he didn't see what he was expecting. It wasn't a bill for computer repair, nor was it anything else that seemed threatening. Axel's name was on it though, but he still didn't know what it was. "Um," Axel looked back up at Roxas. The blond had the largest smile he had ever seen. "What is this?"
Roxas frowned slightly, "It's a letter from Vexen. You've officially completed treatment."
"I've what?"
The grin had returned to the blonde's face, but Axel was no less confused. "You've officially completed all your court ordered therapy and are no longer a threat to the population."
"Does this mean I never have to see that freak again?" Axel didn't even try to keep the hope out of his voice. If this meant he didn't have to see Vexen again then today was by far the best day of his life.
"That's exactly what it means."
Axel stared at the blond for a moment before launching himself in a flying, tackle, glomp. He barely heard the indignant squawk that Roxas let out as he was knocked to the ground; he was far to busy trying to squeeze the breath out of him. "I never have to see that icy bastard again!" Axel would have been doing a happy dance had he not been giving Roxas a bear hug. He really hated Vexen, he didn't even try to hide it. There was something about being constantly scrutinized like some kind of experiment that just drove the redhead up the wall.
"It's kind of funny, that's almost exactly what Vexen said about having to see you again," Roxas laughed, "Hey Ax, can you let me go?"
"Okay!" Axel sat the blond down and immediately started into his happy dance and began chanting in a sing song voice, "I don't have to go back! I don't have to go back!"
It was only Roxas' ruckus laughter that made the redhead stop. Tilting his head to glance back over his shoulder, Axel saw the blond clutching his stomach, eyes screwed up as he shook from obvious mirth. "Oh my god!" Roxas' voice cracked as he spoke, "I can't believe you just did that! You looked just like Sora!"
Damn it Axel! I have got to stop hanging out with him. "Don't make fun of me," Axel placed his hands on his hips, "You'd be happy if you never had to see Vexen again."
'True," Roxas straightened up and wiped his eyes, "We should go celebrate, my treat."
"Well," Axel slid over to the blond and snaked an arm around his waist, "If it's your treat then I can't exactly say no."
"Great, let's go."
"Go?" Axel didn't move as the blond started to walk away, "I thought we were going to celebrate."
"We are," Roxas stopped and looked back at the redhead, "Why?"
"Um," Axel glanced over at the bedroom door, "I thought we were going to um, you know."
Roxas burst out laughing again. Am I really that funny? I mean, it's not like I was trying to make a joke or anything. "Maybe later," great, Roxas was laughing so hard he was actually crying, "If there's time."
"Oh there will be time," Axel declared as he walked up to the blond who immediately stopped laughing, "Now give me the car keys and let's go."
"Nope," Roxas had turned on his heel and was walking out the apartment door, "I'm driving today. After all, you don't know where we're going."
"Well where are we going?"
The blond stopped and threw a smirk over his shoulder at Axel, "That's for me to know and you to find out."
I hate it when he gives me that look; it makes me feel like something bad is going to happen. "I don't like surprises," Axel tried to get some kind of clue from the blond.
"Sure you do," Roxas said cheerfully as he approached his car, "You're always pulling them on me."
"But that doesn't mean I like them on me."
"Then don't be a hypocrite," Roxas had climbed into the driver's seat and was looking up at Axel with an almost expectant glint in his eyes.
With a heavy sigh Axel climbed into the passenger's seat and glared at the dashboard. Doing his best to appear completely depressed, the redhead resigned himself to his fate. Just watch, he'll take me to a water park or somewhere else I hate. Axel tried to keep track of where they were going so he could make a quick escape should the need arise, but found it impossible. It was almost like the blond was taking the most indirect route he could think of. Didn't we already pass that building? I could have sworn we did, but I highly doubt we're actually going in circles. No, we are! There's that building again. "Why are we going in circles?" Axel looked expectantly at Roxas.
Roxas just sat there, a blank look on his face. Finally he shifted his eyes over to Axel. "So you can't escape?" it sounded suspiciously like a question.
"You're lost aren't you?"
"No!" Roxas actually seemed offended by that.
"Okay, jeeze," Axel crossed his arms and slumped back into his chair. Stupid surprises, now Rox is mad at me. I blame Vexen, I'm not sure how but this is his fault. "So where are we going?" no harm in trying to get information.
"I'm not telling you," Roxas cut his words short and glared out the windshield, "So stop asking."
Shut up Axel! You're just making Roxas angrier. Axel sat silently fuming and started to play with his seat belt. Looking back out the window, Axel noticed that there weren't many buildings along the road. Glancing over at Roxas to make sure the blond wasn't paying attention to him, Axel started to try to read the street signs that they passed. Alright, so we're on highway 62 heading south. What's to the south of town? Um, the stupid freaking water park, that orchard I'm no longer allowed in, the wine place, bed and breakfasts, and that's it before you reach the ocean. Oh, I hope it's the wine place, I wanna get wasted! No, better yet a bed and breakfast, then I can have all sorts of Roxy time. Well if it's the water park I'm pantsing Roxas, he knows I hate that place. I don't care if I lose my Roxy time, I'm not going there. But he didn't grab any swim trunks, so maybe that's not it. Man wouldn't it be funny if he brought me to the orchard? The owners swore they'd kill me if I ever showed up again. It wasn't that big of a fire anyway, I don't see what they big deal was. I had no idea apple trees burned that fast though.
Axel resigned himself to having to wait and see and after about half an hour of staring out the window, fell asleep. "We're here!" a voice rang through the darkness shrouding Axel's mind.
"No syrup Mr. Fuffers," Axel mumbled, "I like my pork chops with whipped cream."
"What?" the voice asked.
"Huh?" Axel opened his eyes to find his face pressed against the car window, "Where am I?"
"In my car drooling on the glass," Axel turned his head to see a very amused Roxas, "Come on, we don't have all day."
"All day to what?" the redhead sat up and tried to take in his surroundings. The car had been parked in front of a cabin right on the beach, it was actually very pretty. "We went to the beach?"
"Yep," Roxas got out of the car and bent down to continue talking to the redhead, "I rented a cabin for the weekend. We only have about three more hours of sunlight so we need to hurry if we want any beach time today. Come on and help me bring the bags in."
"Bags?" Axel followed the blonde's example and got out of the car. The wind was rather nice, not too hard and with a warmth to it. The smell from the ocean filled the redhead's senses, effectively waking him up.
"Yeah, I packed up a bunch of our stuff without you noticing."
"How long have you known that I'm done with Vexen?" Axel walked to the back of the car and started to help Roxas unload the few bags in the back.
"Two days now," Roxas closed the trunk and started up to the cabin, "But Vexen told me that you only had one more session about a week ago."
"And you didn't tell me?" the pair had come to the front door by this point. Axel would have been thoroughly pissed if it weren't for the fact that he had Roxas at the beach for a whole weekend. Just me, Roxas, no clothes, and the beach, this is going to be awesome.
"That would have ruined the," Roxas paused as he opened the door.
"SURPRISE!" came a loud chorus from inside the cabin.
"What?" Axel dropped the bag in his hand and stared at the group inside the cabin. It seemed that all the people the redhead was willing to tolerate were packed into the cabin's living room. From where he was standing, Axel could see Larxene draped around her boyfriend Amsen, his boss Xemnas and his boyfriend Saix, Riku (surprisingly without Sora who appeared from one of the other rooms seconds later), Sephiroth (who wasn't that bad now that Axel had gotten to know him), Cloud, Rikku, and Paine. "How did, why are, what the hell?"
"I called everyone up and had them come down for the night," Roxas wrapped an arm around Axel's waist and the redhead allowed himself to be drawn into the cabin, "I thought it would be nice to have a little party to celebrate that you are no longer a danger to society."
"Oh," Axel heard the disappointment in his own voice and didn't particularly care to hide it.
"What's the matter?" Larxene called from Amsen's lap, "Aren't you happy to see us?"
"I thought I was going to have Roxy time," Axel said dejectedly.
The blond standing next to him started to sputter, his eyes wide. The entire room, minus Sora, burst out in laughter. "Ew," Sora crinkled his nose, "That's gross."
"You don't think it's gross when we have alone time," Riku pulled the brunet into a hug.
"But that's different," Sora snuggled into the embrace.
"Where's Marluxia?" Roxas' voice was a few octaves higher than it normally was.
"Don't know," Paine shrugged.
"I saw him heading back down the hallway with his girlfriend a few minutes ago," Rikku pointed over her shoulder.
"I'm going to go get him," Roxas walked away from the still snickering group.
"Wait," Axel frowned at Rikku, "Didn't you say he left with, oh no, Roxas."
"Oh dear god!" there came a slamming from down the hall and Axel ran in the direction that it had come from.
Coming around a corner, Axel saw a dead white Roxas pressing a door closed. "What happened?" Axel walked towards the blond cautiously.
"I didn't know Marluxia had naturally pink hair," Roxas muttered.
"Yeah, most people think it's a dye jo," Axel stopped and eyed the blond suspiciously, "How do you know it's his natural hair color?"
"He's naked, with a girl," Roxas looked like he was going to throw up. Suddenly his face twisted into a look of pure venom, "In the cabin that I rented, he is so dead."
"Marluxia, run!" Axel warned his friend.
His warning was ignored and the door swung open to reveal a rather disheveled looking Marluxia and a woman with short brown hair that had what appeared to be a tail hanging from the back of it. "Sorry about that Roxy," Marluxia grinned sheepishly at the fuming blond, "Yuna and I got a little carried away; we didn't think you would show up before we were done."
Yuna smacked the pinkette on the back of the head, a frown creasing her brow. "I'm really sorry for that," she turned to smile at Roxas, "Marly kind of tricked me into that. Don't worry; I'll cut him off for a week in order to teach him a lesson about respecting other people's homes."
"A week!" Marluxia's mouth dropped open and Axel didn't even try to stop the snicker he let out, "But that's not fair, you were in on it too, you should get punished as well."
"Fine," Yuna headed down the hall towards the other guests, "Two weeks of no sex for either of us."
"But, but," Marluxia followed after his girlfriend, desperately trying to find some way out of the situation.
"Why is he your friend again?" Roxas was pinching the bridge of his nose, never a good sign for Axel.
"You know," Axel actually stopped to think about that one, "I have no idea. I think it had to do with us both being horny in high school and me thinking he was gay."
"You're still horny," Roxas laughed slightly, greatly easing the tension that Axel was feeling at that moment, "And I still think he's gay."
"He's not," Axel leaned against the wall and sent Roxas a smile, "I've never seen him even look at another man if he wasn't checking out what they were wearing."
"Come on," Roxas took Axel's hand, sending little tingles through the redhead's body, "Let's go back to the party."
Axel allowed himself to be drawn back to the group sitting in the living room. Looking around the redhead couldn't spot Marluxia or Yuna anywhere, but after a moment he heard their voices coming from outside. Axel smirked slightly to himself; no doubt Marluxia was trying to convince Yuna to lift her ban on sex. It's true; we are still both horny, we haven't changed a bit since high school. Striding into the sitting group, Axel found Sora pushing a red plastic cup into his hands and smiling up at him. Without even thinking, the redhead took a sip of the amber liquid. Mm, alcohol, this could be fun. Now if there is one thing you should never do, that's drink a mysterious alcoholic beverage concocted by Sora. Unfortunately for Axel, Roxas never warned him about his twin's inability to safely create anything for consumption, and the redhead downed the drink without a second thought. Looking back on it later, Axel would say that was probably the worst decision he made that day, but that was only because he couldn't remember what happened after that.
Me: Ah, middle note! So don't quit reading here because I didn't tell you what happened at the party, because Roxas remembers. Also please excuse any drop in quality as I'm writing the rest of this with a slight concussion.
Roxas' eyes flickered over the piece of paper in his hands, a smile forming on his lips. From his spot on the couch in his living room, the blond looks over at Axel. The redhead was lying on his stomach in front of the newly purchased TV, remote in hand. While Roxas hated to disturb him, Axel seemed to be staring at the current show with unblinking eyes; the blond just couldn't keep this to himself. "Hey Ax?" Roxas called over to the redhead.
"Mm," Axel didn't take his eyes away from the flickering images.
"I've got something to show you."
"Can it wait till commercial?"
"I suppose," Roxas sighed. He's going to flip when I tell him this, I can almost guarantee he doesn't already know. He would have told me if someone had already told him, wouldn't he? Roxas' cheeks were hurting by the time the commercial came on his smile was so large.
"I've got to pee," Axel announced and tried to make a break for it.
"Wait," Roxas dropped his smile at the redhead's attempted escape. He thinks this is about the computer. That's right, I didn't tell him that Sephiroth fixed it for me. Who would have guessed he was the originator of that virus? Well actually I would, but still. "This is really important. Here, take a look at this." Roxas had to fight to keep his voice even; he was suddenly feeling rather giggly. I can't wait to see his reaction.
The redhead just stared at the piece of paper that Roxas had given him, a blank look on his face. Oh come on, this is all I get? I was expecting some serious rejoicing on his part, maybe even his little happy dance. "Um," Axel glanced from the paper to Roxas, "What is this?"
Roxas felt his face fall, he had thought it was pretty obvious, "It's a letter from Vexen. You've officially completed treatment."
"I've what?" Axel looked completely confused.
The oddly giggly feeling returned and Roxas could tell he was grinning like an idiot once again."You've officially completed all your court ordered therapy," Roxas repeated himself, "And are no longer a threat to the population."
"Does this mean I never have to see that freak again?" the redhead sounded oddly hopeful.
Roxas had to stop himself from laughing at Axel's description of Vexen. I knew he didn't like Vexen but I've never heard Axel refer to him as a freak before. "That's exactly what it means."
Axel looked slightly dumbfounded, but the reality seemed to sink in fairly quickly. The redhead launched himself at Roxas and knocked the blond off his feet, held tight in a bear hug. "I never have to see that icy bastard again!" Axel seemed to be trying to squeeze the life out of Roxas, the blond could barely breath. Roxas felt himself being jostled around as the redhead wiggled around in what could only be assumed to be joy.
"It's kind of funny, that's almost exactly what Vexen said about having to see you again," Roxas didn't stop himself from laughing at the redhead's reaction. It was almost exactly what Vexen had said, only instead of icy bastard it had been pyro freak. "Hey Ax, can you let me go?"
"Okay!" Axel didn't really seem too aware of the blond as he set Roxas down. The redhead started into his little happy dance and began to sing, much to Roxas' amusement, "I don't have to go back! I don't have to go back!"
Roxas wouldn't have been able to stop himself from laughing if he tried; the sight was just too funny. The blond took hold of his stomach in an attempt to lessen a side cramp that quickly developed. "Oh my god!" Roxas pointed at the redhead who had finally stopped his butt swaying, "I can't believe you just did that! You looked just like Sora!"
"Don't make fun of me," Axel put his hands on his hips, only making him look like a disgruntled woman, "You'd be happy if you never had to see Vexen again."
"True," Roxas did his best to suppress his mirth and straightened up, wiping the tears out of his eyes, "We should go celebrate, my treat."
"Well," Axel slid over to Roxas and adopted a rather familiar smirk, "If it's your treat then I can't exactly say no."
"Great, let's go," Roxas turned on his heal and started towards the door. That's not a look that I particularly care to indulge right now.
"Go?" Axel seemed completely dumbfounded by Roxas' actions, "I thought we were going to celebrate."
"We are," Roxas turned back to the baffled redhead, desperately suppressing his laughter, "Why?"
"Um," Axel's eyes flicked towards Roxas' bedroom, "I thought we were going to um, you know."
Roxas couldn't contain his laughter at that and nearly doubled over when it erupted out of him. "Maybe later," Roxas felt tears streaming down his face as he shook, "If there's time."
"Oh there will be time," Axel's blatant announcement caused Roxas to fall silent, "Now give me the car keys and let's go."
"Nope," Roxas turned away and headed out the door. No way I'm telling him where we're going, besides if he drives right now we'll end up in an accident, he's in that much of a hurry to get my celebration over with and start his own. "I'm driving today. After all, you don't know where we're going."
"Well where are we going?"
Roxas sent a knowing smirk over his shoulder at the redhead, "That's for me to know and you to find out."
Axel actually started to sulk and muttered a dejected, "I don't like surprises."
"Sure you do, you're always pulling them on me."
"But that doesn't mean I like them on me."
"Then don't be a hypocrite," Roxas pointed out as he climbed into his car. Looking over to find Axel still standing outside the car with a rather put off expression on his face, Roxas had to smile encouragingly and with only a slight amount of amusement for the redhead's obvious disdain.
Axel gave a heavy sigh and climbed into the passenger's seat before throwing another disgruntled look at Roxas. Man you'd think I was kidnapping him or something. It's not that big a deal that I won't tell him where we're going, though he might get a little pissy when it takes two hours to get to the beach house. All right, how did I get there again? Crap, I should have printed out the directions. No, then Axel would be able to look at them and that would ruin the surprise. Think Roxas, was it highway 62 or 72? This makes a big difference, so remember already. It was 62, I'm sure of it. "Why are we going in circles?" Axel looked over at Roxas quizzically.
Shit! He noticed, I thought he was to busy sulking over not having sex to pay attention to where we were going. Think of an excuse damn it! "So you can't escape?" Damn that came out like a question.
"You're lost aren't you?"
"No!" Shit he did notice!
"Okay, jeeze," Axel sat back with his arms crossed, his annoyance obvious to anyone, "So where are we going?"
"I'm not telling you," Roxas almost winced at how sharp his words came out, "So stop asking."
The redhead slumped dejectedly in his seat and began to play with his seatbelt. Maybe I was too hard on him. I shouldn't have yelled at him that was just mean. Alright Roxas, just apologize to him, not that hard to do. Roxas glanced over at Axel and saw the redhead's head whip around as the car passed a road sign. That little sneak, he's trying to figure out where we're going from the signs. I suppose I can't really get mad about that, I would be doing the same thing. He probably thinks I'm bringing him to that water park, like I don't know that he hates that place. There's no way he'll guess that I rented a beach house though, I've never mentioned anything like it to him before. Roxas stared blankly out the wind shield at the road, occasionally throwing sideways glances at the redhead. After about twenty minutes he noticed Axel's eyes beginning to droop and a rather malicious thought crept into his head. Quickly the blond turned off the radio, throwing the car into complete silence. Axel's eyes finally closed all the way and his head laid against the glass of the car window. Seeing that the redhead had fallen asleep Roxas sped up, eager to get to the beach.
Nearly an hour and a half later the car pulled up to a nice cabin sitting only about a hundred feet from the surf. Putting the car into park, Roxas turned to the redhead and said cheerfully, "We're here!"
"No syrup Mr. Fuffers," Axel seemed to nuzzle into the window in his attempt to stay asleep, "I like my pork chops with whipped cream."
"What?" Roxas was slightly taken aback by that comment.
"Huh?" Axel moaned and opened his eyes, "Where am I?"
That made Roxas smile, Axel just seemed so adorable at that moment, "In my car drooling on the glass. Come on, we don't have all day."
"All day for what?" Axel said. The redhead sat up and wiped the drool from his mouth, internally Roxas let out a cooing noise at how innocent the redhead was looking at that moment. Axel looked around with a slightly dazed expression, again Roxas had an internal girl moment. "We went to the beach?"
"Yep," Roxas got out of the car and collected himself, "I rented a cabin for the weekend. We only have about three more hours of sunlight so we need to hurry if we want any beach time today. Come on and help me bring the bags in."
"Bags?" Axel hadn't seemed to have woken up quite yet.
"Yeah," Roxas watched the redhead get out of the car and take a deep breath, his chest becoming suddenly fascinating, "I packed up a bunch of our stuff without you noticing."
"How long have you known that I'm done with Vexen?" Axel had come around the car and took the bag that Roxas held out to him.
"Two days now," Roxas closed the car trunk and headed to the cabin door, "But Vexen told me that you only had one more session about a week ago."
"And you didn't tell me?" Axel said accusingly, though he didn't sound too pissed. Roxas had a pretty good idea that was because he was having some rather pervy thoughts at the moment, and the glazed over grin that suddenly adorned his features only proved that theory.
Putting one hand on the door handle, Roxas could barely contain himself. Raising his voice slightly he said, "That would have ruined the,"
"SURPRISE!" a loud chorus called as the door swung open.
"What?" Axel dropped his bag with a thud as he stared at the group inside the cabin, "How did, why are, what the hell?"
Roxas let his gaze wonder over the collected people, smiling even wider than before as he took in the redhead's friends. He had been slightly taken aback at how Axel had become close to Sephiroth and Riku, not so much Riku as he hadn't attacked Axel the first time they met, but he was still getting used to Sephiroth being on anyone's good side. The blond could make out Larxene on the opposite side of the room draped over the lap of some man Roxas had never met. A tan silver haired man with orange eyes was standing next to a man with deep blue hair and a scar across his face, Roxas thought they were Axel's boss and his boyfriend but wasn't sure what their names were. Cloud was hanging off of Sephiroth's shoulders and Roxas had to suppress a scowl that his brother had come along. He did send a disgruntled look at Sora when his twin came walking out of the kitchen. A short blond girl in a bikini top and daisy duke shorts was standing next to a woman with slate hair in all black, Roxas thought their names were Rikku and Paine. Turning back to his own redhead, Roxas couldn't stop the smile on his face from brightening considerably. "I called everyone up and had them come down for the night," he wrapped an arm around Axel's waist and pulled him into the cabin, "I thought it would be nice to have a little party to celebrate that you are no longer a danger to society."
"Oh," Axel's obvious disappointment caused Roxas to pause and look up at him.
"What's the matter?" Larxene voiced the question that was on Roxas' lips, "Aren't you happy to see us?"
"I thought I was going to have Roxy time," the redhead muttered.
As soon as Axel uttered those words, Roxas felt his face heating up and lost all coherent thought. He had known that Axel was a horny little bugger, but he honestly wasn't prepared for the redhead to voice that fact. It didn't help the blond when the entire room burst out laughing, everyone except Sora seemed thoroughly amused by the redhead's statement.
"Ew," Sora looked like he had smelled something rotten, "That's gross."
"You don't think it's gross when we have alone time," Riku pulled the brunet into a tight embrace.
"But that's different," Sora giggled into Riku's chest.
"Where's Marluxia?" Roxas desperately tried to change the subject. He did not need the image of his twin brother going at it with Riku, almost as much as he did not need the entire room to be focused on his sex life.
"Don't know," the woman with slate hair, Paine, said with a slight shrug.
"I saw him heading back down the hallway with his girlfriend a few minutes ago," her blond bikini clad companion pointed down the hall that was attached to the living room.
"I'm going to go get him," there was no way Roxas was going to stay and get laughed at. Walking do the indicated hallway, Roxas passed two open doors and finally stopped at a closed one. Pausing, he could hear giggling coming from within the room. With a slight sigh he pushed the door open and immediately wished he hadn't. There stood Marluxia, stark nude, with a fully clothed brunette woman. "Oh dear god!" Roxas yelled and slammed the door closed.
Leaning against the door for support, Roxas watched as Axel came bounding down the hallway. "What happened?" Axel slowed and glanced between Roxas' face and the closed door.
"I didn't know Marluxia had naturally pink hair," was all Roxas could think to say.
"Yeah, most people think it's a dye jo," what Roxas had said seemed to have sunken in, "How do you know it's his natural hair color?"
"He's naked, with a girl," Roxas motioned over his shoulder at the door. Suddenly it sunk in, Marluxia was trying to nail some girl in the expensive cabin that Roxas was paying for. "In the cabin that I rented, he is so dead," Roxas let his words drip venom in his fury, he was looking forward to the kill.
"Marluxia," Axel suddenly called, "Run!"
Damn it Axel, don't warn him! Luckily for Roxas, Marluxia didn't seem to think the warning had any merit. The door swung open to reveal the pinkette and brunette woman. "Sorry about that Roxy," Marluxia grinned sheepishly down at the severely pissed blond. I'll shave his freaking head, that should teach him a lesson. The pink haired man continued before Roxas could act, "Yuna and I got a little carried away; we didn't think you would show up before we were done." Like that makes it okay?
The woman, Yuna, seemed to think the same thing as Roxas as she gave Marluxia a rather nice smack on the back of the head as she scowled at him. "I'm really sorry for that," the smile she sent Roxas seemed completely genuine and helped to calm his temper. Gazing at the woman, Roxas suddenly realized she had one green eye and one blue, reminding him of his own mother and immediately liking her. "Marly kind of tricked me into that," she continued, "Don't worry; I'll cut him off for a week in order to teach him a lesson about respecting other people's homes." I love this woman!
"A week!" Marluxia's face was priceless and Roxas had to stifle a satisfied laugh, though Axel didn't seem to bother and let out one of his own, "But that's not fair, you were in on it too, you should get punished as well."
"Fine," Yuna turned on her heel and headed back towards the living room, "Two weeks of no sex for either of us."
"But, but," Marluxia seemed at a loss for words as he followed after the brunette.
"Why is he your friend again?" Roxas pinched his nose in frustration.
"You know," Axel seemed to have to think about that one, "I have no idea. I think it had to do with us both being horny in high school and me thinking he was gay."
"You're still horny," Roxas snorted, "And I still think he's gay." There is no way that he's straight, even if he was just trying to have sex with a woman.
"He's not. I've never seen him even look at another man if he wasn't checking out what they were wearing."
"Come on," Roxas took Axel's hand and started back towards the living room, "Let's go back to the party."
Axel didn't seem the least bit inclined to stay in the hall and let Roxas pull him down the hallway without any trouble. Once they had reentered the living room Roxas dropped the redhead's hand and headed over to one of the windows where he could have sworn he heard yelling. Sure enough there was Marluxia and Yuna fighting with one another. Roxas had to suppress the satisfied smirk that threatened to break over his features at the pink haired man's expression. He wouldn't deny that he was happy that Marluxia was obviously suffering, but wasn't going to show that feeling to the world just yet. Turning back to the party, Roxas caught sight of a very smug looking Sora passing out drinks. Suddenly the blond had a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach, it was never a good sign when Sora was in contact with something people would be consuming. Knowing there was nothing he could do, Roxas started to look for Axel and was filled with what could only be described as ass clenching terror when he saw the redhead downing a drink.
"Where did you get that?" he asked cautiously as he walked over to his boyfriend.
"Sora gave it to me," the redhead swung an arm around Roxas' shoulder, "You should have one, they're really good."
"SORA!" Roxas spun to face his brother, "What did you give him?"
"Lemonade!" the brunet chirped. His face was slightly pink and he swayed slightly on the spot.
"You're already drunk aren't you?" the blond buried his face in his hand.
"Yuppers!" Sora nodded enthusiastically and skipped, yes skipped, away. The rest of the evening went something like this.
Roxas, "Stop giving people alcohol Sora!"
Sora, "Drink, drink, drink!"
Sephiroth, "Let's all get naked!"
Group, "No one wants to see you naked Sephiroth!"
Sephiroth, "Too bad!"
Roxas, "Everyone give me your car keys."
Axel, "I'm a ballerina!"
Roxas, "Stop drinking everything Sora gives you!"
Sora, "Drink, drink, drink!"
Riku, "Let's all go swimming!"
Group passes out.
Finally once the group was mostly unconscious, Roxas was able to get some time with Axel. It seemed that the redhead had an amazing alcohol tolerance as after nearly seven of Sora's 'lemonades' he was still standing. It would have been more, but Roxas had refused to allow him to take any more alcohol into his system.
"Hey, hey, Roxy!" Axel was bouncing up and down as he looked at the blond.
"Yes Axel," Roxas didn't really care for this hyper version of drunk all that much.
"Let's go outside!" the redhead said as he grabbed Roxas' hand.
Roxas found himself being literally dragged out of the cabin and down onto the beach. "Hey," Roxas stammered as he stumbled over some rocks, "Slow down Axel."
"Oh, I have the best idea ever!" the redhead stopped dead, a look of total epiphany on his face.
"Yes Axel."
"Let's blow something up!"
Roxas face immediately became reacquainted with his face, a loud smack ringing across the now dark beach. "You just got certified as a cured pyromaniac Axel," the blond groaned, "You can't blow anything up."
"Oh, right," Axel looked thoughtful for a moment before brightening up again, "Let's go skinny dipping!"
"Axel," Roxas grabbed the redhead as he made a bee line for the water, "You are too drunk to go swimming, you'll drown. Why don't we just go back inside and go to sleep?"
"But that's no fun," the redhead pouted.
"It can be," Roxas raised an eyebrow suggestively. He had absolutely no intention of actually following through with his suggestion, but he had to get the redhead away from any potential drowning hazard.
"Yeah!" Roxas found himself thrown over Axel's shoulder as the redhead sprinted back towards the cabin, "I get Roxy time!"
Axel ran into the house and didn't seem too concerned with avoiding the passed out forms of his friends as he barreled down the hallway and into the bedroom. Roxas was set down and the blond made sure to close the door. When he turned back around, he found the redhead passed out cold on the bed snoring loudly. With a slight smile Roxas laid down next to him and gave the sleeping redhead a small kiss before closing his eyes and drifting off himself.
