Roxas' first instinct was to slam the door in his face. However, the fear of Kairi killing him for breaking her door had overpowered the annoyance of the redhead standing in the doorway. And this redhead was not tiny. By any means.

"What do you want?" Roxas asked harshly.

"I just want to explain!" Axel pleaded. He tried to reach out and touch the blonde, but Roxas stepped back with a scowl on his face.

"Explain what?" Roxas practically yelled at Axel. "There is nothing to explain! You clearly kissed her. And how do I know that you really even like me in the first place? Was I just some worthless guy you were using as a cover?" Roxas glared at Axel.

"No! Roxy, I love you!"

"Then why did you kiss her!"

"She kissed me!" They were both staring into each others eyes. Roxas in a glare, and Axel with a mixture of annoyance and pleading.

"Five minutes. That's it." Axel had a grateful look plastered on his face, and was lead into the living room. Axel sat down on one of the couches, while Roxas sat across from him, with his arms crossed.

"What did happen, then?" Roxas asked, skeptically.

"Well… I was helping her with her chemistry…"

"Did she want you to blow up someone's car?"

"Hey! They was only that once! Anyway… She would want me to help her during my lunch break, and she'd always make me late… but I didn't stop, 'cuz she was really bad at it."

"And?"

"So… She told me she liked me… and uh, kissed me." Roxas lowered his eyes.

"That's the best you came up with? Just… leave, Axel. The others should be getting here soon." Roxas didn't look up when Axel shuffled out the door. 'Maybe he didn't care, after all….'

"So, he called? And said he did want to go out with you?" Namine feigned ignorance.

"Yep!" Demyx said cheerfully, "We're going out tomorrow!"

"Good for you guys, Demyx. I told you he liked you!" She smiled at her cheerful friend.

"So… what's the deal with Roxas and Axel? I haven't heard anything recently."

"According to Roxas, he came by yesterday. Tried to explain… but Roxas didn't want to listen."

"Oh! I feel a bit bad for Axel, despite the cheating. Rox can be harsh sometimes." Namine nodded in agreement. Her brother had been that way his entire life.

"Yes, he-" Namine was cut short when there was a knock on the door.

"I'll get it!" Kairi's voice came from the kitchen. She walked out, holding a knife, and wearing a pink apron with a Paopu on it.

"Umm, Kairi, you might want to put the knife down, before you scare the person away." Demyx said, and Kairi looked down at the hand with the knife.

"Oh, I didn't notice I was still holding it." She placed it on the table as she was passing by, and opened the door. When Demyx as who was standing there, he quickly excused himself and left.

"I can't believe he was ever friends with you. And that was years ago!"

"Just let me talk to Roxas, alright?"

"No. I can't do that! You helped Axel cheat on him!"

"Kairi, maybe just a few minutes?"

"Nami…. We can't be soft on her!"

"If I cheated on you, would you let me explain?"

"Yes… But that isn't relevant! He's a boy!"

"Well I'm not a boy!"

"Which makes it worse, Xion!" Xion sighed, exasperated. This entire family was a mess, she concluded.

"If I explain it to you guys first, will you let me talk to him? And no, Axel didn't send me. He apparently hasn't been out of his room since he came here."

"Fine." Kairi grumbled, crossing her arms in front of her, and plopping down on a stool. Namine leaned against the oven, careful not to hit any of the knobs. Xion stood up as tall as she could, which admittedly wasn't very tall at all, and began explaining.

"Well, you know how Axel, Roxas, and I used to be friends when we were younger?" Xion started, and got nods from the other two girls. "So, I had a crush on Axel back then, as Roxas was like my brother. And I moved away as we entered high school, where you," She motioned to Kairi. "Sora, and Riku and the rest all came in. So I moved away, met people, and everything, but I always felt like Axel and Roxas were my real best friends. I didn't know Axel or Roxas were gay, I swear. I moved back here for college a while ago, but hadn't seen either of them. Until I ended up seeing Axel going into his advanced chemistry class one day. He didn't recognize me at first- but I jogged some memories, and it was kind of like old times the few times we talked, but I couldn't shake the feeling something was missing.

"So when I realized I was failing chemistry, I immediately thought of Axel. He said he had time to help me during his lunch break at work most days, so he'd come then. He never mentioned Roxas, so I thought they had a falling out years ago, and that's what I had missed. I misinterpreted the signs- I thought he liked me, like I still liked him. So, on his way back to work, I kissed him, and I think Roxas saw it."

The girls were silent for a moment, and Kairi slowly nodded.

"That makes sense… Axel tends to get absorbed into chemistry, rather than talk about people sometimes."

"So, can I tell Roxas? Or should I come back later, and hope he doesn't slap the door on my face?" Xion smiled.

"I should think s-" Namine was cut off by a deeper voice.

"I heard what you said, Xion… I always kinda knew you liked him, and I guess I was afraid he liked you back, and was using me as a substitute or something."

"No way! He never like me! He'd always talk about you, when we were alone. You guys were the best friends, I was the added extra." Xion turned her head when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"I was like that with me too! Until, I met the love of my life, the ever-perfect Namine!"

"You better not cheat on me with her!" Namine said, mocking hurt.

"What! No! I would never!" Kairi replied, and shook her head drastically.

"Well, I'm going to go talk to Axel. Have fun with your freaky lesbian fetishes." Roxas said as he looked through his pockets for his keys.

"I'm not a lesbian, though!" Xion called. Roxas laughed.

"You will be if you hang out with this family enough."

"WHAT?"

"C'mon Xion, Nami, we need to discuss some things!"

Roxas chuckled as he left the house. Xion was probably getting more than she expected, and he was wondering what on earth he had done in his past life to get this family. He wasn't sure if it was a blessing, but it sure as hell wasn't a curse.

Sorry, short chapter. Actually, you're lucky to get anything at all (lol). I've been really focused on a different story I have (which I share with a friend). If you read Percy Jackson and the Olympians, you might want to check it out (Elena's Story, by I Swear On The Styx). Otherwise, review and yell at me for being late. Or just review. Cookies?

And yay! I get to go to bed before five in the morning! I'm not a morning person, I usually get my muse at three A.M.
