Me: I'm finally able to get to this chapter! I have wanted to do this chapter for like 5 months. And there are only 3 more chapters including this one.
Mims: You're rather happy about being able to finish this.
Me: I just want to wrap it up after so long. Plus Kiba is going away in a few weeks, so I'm finishing this up for her. Due to the size of the damn chapter I'm breaking it up for easy reading. Also, I can't do lemons on this account anymore. My…friend…NaremeHaven has a very similar writing style, muses, story ideas, story names, words in the stories, what have you. Also…chapter names are rather important at the moment.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but an idea and a sick, sick mind.
Warning: Drama, major drama. I can't say much more or it will give way too much away.
Written with the song "Not Alone" playing on a loop for Axel's half. I listened to katethegreat19 on youtube's version. For Roxas' half I listened to "Forces (godhand mix)" from Berserk and "The Chauffeur" by Sleepthief.
Please don't kill me for what you are about to read, blame Mims as it was her idea.

Axel watched as Roxas left the apartment, a sinking feeling in his gut. Come on Axel, he's just going to go get this straightened out so he never has to see her again. It's no big deal. The redhead fidgeted a bit before sighing loudly and grabbing the phone from the counter.
"Axel, do you have any idea what time it is?" an annoyed female voice snapped.
"Yes Larxene I'm well aware what time it is," Axel said, "But I need someone to talk to and I thought of you."
"Lucky me…call back in half an hour, I just got up."
"Larx, I really need someone to talk to now."
"It can't be that important," the blonde's irritation was even more apparent.
"Roxas just went off to see his ex and he won't tell me about what."
"…okay it is kind of important," Larxene sighed heavily, "Look, I'll call you back in a few minutes, just let me get dressed and grab something to eat okay."
"Sure…"
Grudgingly Axel hung up the phone and sat down on the couch and stared at the wall numbly. What the hell is wrong with me? It's not that big a deal right? Just Roxas talking to that bitch, nothing to worry about. Larx is going to tell you the same thing once you explain everything to her, just wait. …Roxas wouldn't cheat on me would he? Gah, why am I doing this to myself?! I'm just over reacting, that's all. The phone rang and the redhead answered it before a second ring could go off. "Hello!"
"Wow Axel, eager much?" Larxene chuckled.
"I'm just freaking out," Axel sighed.
"Alright, tell me what's going on."
"Roxas saw his ex whore yesterday at Namine's art thing and she wanted to talk, but Rox didn't want to talk, so Sora called her a cheating bitch slut bag whore from hell Satan spawn and threatened to kill her so she left. Then I wanted to know why a girl was saying that she slept with Rox and he said he's bi so I was like what the hell and he acted like it was no big deal and-"
"Axel," Larxene interrupted, "Breath."
"Okay…"
"Good, now tell me what happened while still breathing. Start from the beginning, I didn't really understand that."
"Okay. Rox and I went to his sister Namine's art show thing yesterday and this girl showed up, Kairi. She's Roxas' ex and she wanted to talk to Roxas, but Roxas' entire family freaked and kicked her out. I asked what happened and Roxas said that he used to date the bitch and that he's bi. He never told me that before, he said it wasn't important. Don't you think I should have been informed that he likes girls too?"
"Well," Larxene said thoughtfully, "It's not like it would change anything, he does care about you, but I guess it would have been nice to know that you needed to keep an eye out for over friendly girls."
"Exactly! I know he wouldn't cheat…right…no of course he wouldn't, but I just would like to be informed about these things, you know?"
"I get it, what else happened?"
"Well, we went to this coffee shop because Rox wanted to explain what was going on, but when we got there the bitch was there. Roxas wanted to leave, but the whore noticed us. She actually touched him! I wanted to rip her fucking head off. But Rox knocked her off and I gotta say that felt really good. Then Roxas basically dragged me down the street to the car and he was pissed, you seriously have no idea how pissed off he was. He was just fuming, but not saying a damn thing. You should have seen the look on his face when I took the car keys from him, it was like he was going to attack me or something. But I couldn't let him drive, he would have hit someone. So I was driving home and he would not talk to me, I had to pull over and force him to talk to me. It was like he just shut down and he's never done that to me before."
"Well I'm sure it wasn't something that was easy to talk about," Larxene said thoughtfully, "What was it that he didn't want to give up anyway?"
"Details about his relationship with Kairi. They had a shit relationship, she was a cheating whore, did drugs, abusive, you name it, but he stayed with her for 5 years. And you know what they say, people go back to their abusers."
"I'm sure he won't go back Axel, Roxas loves you."
"He's meeting with her right now," Axel pouted slightly, "Clear the air, that's what he said."
"I'm sure it's not that big a deal."
"…you don't sound convinced," the redhead said softly.
"Axel," Larxene said sadly, "What do you want me to say? That it's nothing? That Roxas loves you? You already know that, what I have to say isn't going to change that. The thing is, if you're having doubts they're there for a reason and it may not be because of what Roxas is doing."
"What are you saying?"
"Just that you need to think about where your relationship is that makes you wonder whether or not Roxas could be cheating."
"…thanks I guess."
"No problem," Larxene said cheerfully, "Now if you will excuse me I actually have a life."
Hanging up the phone Axel groaned softly and ran his hands over his face and leaned back into the couch cushions. "I'm not being paranoid am I? No, of course not. I'm just being…I'm being a suspicious ass, that's what. God, I'm such a bad boyfriend. Of course Roxas isn't cheating on me, why would he? I'm talking to myself. Stop that Axel!" … "I need to see Roxas…if I see him then I will know once and for all that he's not cheating. I'll just see him, having coffee, cursing that bitch out, and no cheating. I'm talking out loud again. I'm coming off as crazy even to myself. Stop it already you freaking lunatic!"
The redhead fidgeted on the couch for a moment before standing and heading for the door. Silently cursing the fact that Roxas had taken the car, Axel put on his shoes, grabbed his wallet and keys, and headed out. It took him nearly twenty minutes to walk to the coffee shop, but when he made it he was treated to a rather unsettling sight. Roxas and Kairi were sitting on the same couch in the shop, right at the window. Axel ducked into a Subway on the other side of the street, quickly ordering and sitting down where he could watch the pair without being seen himself. The redhead had to bite back a growl when he saw the whore smile sweetly at Roxas, reaching over his leg for something and bringing their faces unnecessarily close. She said something before drawing back, a soft smile on her face. Roxas shrugged slightly, but when he turned his head to face her there was a smile touching his lips as well. As Axel watched, the pair exchanged brief touches, occasionally laughing with each other. It was all far too friendly for Axel's tastes, but he felt himself calming a bit as he watched them. There was nothing other than a good natured vibe between the two.
Then Kairi got a look. It was sultry and sexual, her eyes burning slightly, her lips pouting. The auburn haired girl ran a hand down Roxas' arm, just a few fingers trailing over his skin. Leaning down she whispered something into the blonde's ear and Axel couldn't help but bristly. That's when her eyes flicked to him and the two glared at each other briefly. A smirk flashed across her face and quite suddenly she was kissing Roxas. Standing up, his body rigid with rage, Axel watched as Kairi slipped her hand into Roxas' hair. The blond seemed shocked, but he certainly wasn't pulling away. Axel stood in shock for a moment before growling a curse and storming out of the sub shop and down the street.
He didn't know where he was going, just that he needed to get away from the blond before he did something that he would truly regret. Axel wasn't really aware where he was or how long he had been wandering, the image of that whore kissing Roxas and Roxas letting her was taking up most of the redhead's brain capacity at the moment. Why didn't he pull back?! Why did he just let her? At least he wasn't engaging in the kiss…was he? Oh god, what if he was just startled by her doing it in public? What if that's a usual occurrence and he was just caught off guard? He certainly didn't seem to object to it in any way. It doesn't matter! He let that whore touch him! He LET her kiss him! He doesn't care about me, I'm probably just something to occupy his time that his family won't care about. Axel stopped dead, horror written on his face. He was just using me. The realization ripped through the redhead and it took everything he had not to break down right there on the street.
Looking around, Axel spotted a bar and headed straight for it, not the least bit caring that it was barely noon. Pushing the door open the redhead was assaulted by the scent of cheep alcohol, stale vomit, and sweat. None of it seemed to touch Axel as he made his way up to the bar, slumping over a stool dejectedly.
"What you want?" a large man asked gruffly.
"What's the strongest thing you've got?" Axel looked at him seriously.
"Tequila coming up," the man said before disappearing for a moment.
"Pretty early to be hitting the hard stuff," a soft voice commented with a laugh.
"Yeah, well, life sucks right now," Axel muttered, glancing at the man who had spoken. A small dirty blond sat on the stool next to him, a daiquiri in front of him. He had a heart shaped face, softly mischievous blue eyes, and tan skin.
"Name's Zidane (1)," said the blond, "And you might be?"
"Axel," the redhead muttered looking back at the bar keeper as he came back with a bottle of tequila and a glass. Grabbing the bottle and ignoring the glass, Axel took a swig of the liquid, his face scrunching up as the alcohol burned his throat on the way down.
"Life's got to really be sucking if you're drinking straight from the bottle," Zidane commented, "Why don't you tell me about it sweetie?"
"My boyfriend is cheating on me," Axel said shortly, a scowl across his face as he took another swig, "With a girl."
"Ouch," Zidane took a sip of his daiquiri and glanced at the redhead again.
"What?" Axel said with narrowed eyes.
"Oh nothing," Zidane said.
The pair sat in silence for a few more minutes as Axel downed half the bottle. The redhead was just starting to get a nice buzz going when Zidane opened his mouth again. "So why don't you tell me about this guy."
"Why should I tell you anything?" Axel asked, but his voice was lacking venom.
"Well," the blond said lightly, "Seems to me that this kind of thing would really get to a guy, at least it would get to me, and the best way to deal with it is to talk it out."
"You sound like Roxas," the redhead sighed, "You gonna be my therapist now?"
"Only if you let me," the blond purred and emerald eyes flicked to him in shock. The heart shaped face showed nothing but innocence however, and Axel wrote it off as his own imagination.
"Well," Axel said shakily, "Rox and I have been going out for…for…um, I can't remember the exact amount of time, but a while now." Axel took another swig of tequila. "And things have been great. Really great. I've never been with someone like him before. He doesn't treat me like the screw up I am, you know? Well, he does, but only when I actually screw up. I told him I love him, never done that for anyone else. And what does the fucker do? He goes off with his ex-girlfriend."
"Well that doesn't sound too bad," Zidane said thoughtfully, "He could just be friends with her now."
"I saw them kissing," Axel smiled sadly and took another drink, squinting when he realized there was barely a quarter of the liquid left, "In public. Anyone could have seen them. He doesn't care about me, doesn't give a shit about the fact that he's the only reason that I'm not in jail. Nope. I'm just some play thing to him. He must have been pretty bored to ask me to move in with him. Do you have any idea what that's like? To find out that you're not important?"
"No, not really," Zidane said softly, "I'm sorry, I really am. But now I've got a little question that may be important."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah. What are you going to do about it?"
Axel sat staring at the wall in front of him for a moment, trying to get his brain to work properly. What am I going to do about it? I can't just let this slide, the whore wins that way. Wait, who's the whore again? Was it the bitch or was it Roxas? They're both whores. Fuck em…yeah, fuck em. "Fuck em," the redhead breathed, "They aren't worth my time."
"How you gonna do that?" Zidane asked with a faint smile.
Axel's head swiveled so that he was looking at the dirty blond, crimson spikes swaying with the motion. Their eyes met and the redhead gulped slightly. There was no denying that the mischievous look in the blonde's eyes had increased, but he was also chewing on his lip slightly, leaning forward slightly, running his hand over Axel's thigh ever so gently. Gulping again, Axel leaned forward, his eyes never leaving those softly smiling blue pools in front of him. When their lips connected Axel finally let his eyes slip shut, concentrating on the slightly bitter yet incredibly sweet taste invading his mouth. Cigarettes and strawberries, he tastes like cigarettes and strawberries. Axel felt a hand slip into his hair and groaned slightly before pulling back.
"I can't do this," he said huskily.
"Why not," Zidane's voice held more than a slight hint of annoyance to it.
"Roxas-"
"Cheated on you," the blond interrupted, "And you're drunk. Drunk and with a reason for revenge. Come on Ax, it's not your fault, it's his for lying to you."
Before Axel could respond there were lips against his once again. Rather than fighting it the redhead simply let himself be swept up in the feel of the kiss. Zidane had the most wonderfully soft lips and seemed to know exactly how to move them against Axel's, softly caressing his and sending shivers down the redhead's spine. Groaning slightly, Axel fisted the dirty blond locks, pulling the smaller man against his frame. He couldn't stop himself from stiffening when he felt the other's arousal press against him. Zidane seemed to sense his hesitation, deftly cupping Axel's own burgeoning arousal and drawing out another groan.
Breaking the kiss, Axel looked down at the blond for a moment. "How far do you want this to go?" he asked softly.
"As far as you're willing babe," Zidane purred, "But not here; not really into the whole public thing."
"We could," Axel stopped.
"Could what?"
"We could go back to my place. Roxas won't be there, he's too busy with his whore."
"And if he does show then so what?" Zidane smiled, "Just giving him a taste of his own medicine right?"
"Right," Axel breathed.
"I've got a car," the blond said, a soft smile touching his lips, "I'm not too drunk to drive."
"Okay," the redhead said, "Let's go."
Standing, Axel laid enough money for his drink and Zidane's on the counter and caught the bar tender's eye. The pair left, arms around each other's waists, and made their way out to the parking lot behind the bar. Axel couldn't help but whistle slightly when he saw the blonde's car. "Mercedes," he said, "Nice."
"I do quite well," Zidane smirked.
"What do you do?" Axel asked as he slipped into the passenger seat.
"Accountant," the blond shrugged, "It's kind of boring, but it's worth it."
"I can see," the redhead smirked as he rubbed against the leather seat.
"So what do you do?"
"I work at a restaurant," Axel shrugged, "Some friends got me the job after I lost my old one."
"Where'd you used to work?"
"Post office. Got fired for starting a fire in the break room."
"Nice."
"Thank you," Axel smirked before giving his address to the blond.
They needed to pass the coffee shop in order to get to the apartment, but Axel couldn't bring himself to look. He didn't want to see them together, see Roxas' complete disregard for what they had. He'd show him though. If what they had really meant so little to the blond, he'd show him. The car ride was filled with relatively friendly banter, but Axel couldn't help but feel nervous. How can I do this? Am I really as bad as him? Yes, yes I am. He deserves a taste of his own medicine, that's the only way he's going to learn. "This is it," the redhead said distractedly when they arrived.
"Nice place," Zidane purred, putting the car in park and leaning over Axel's body, "Wanna show me inside?"
"Sure," the redhead said breathlessly.
Slipping out of the car, Axel quickly went around to Zidane's side, startled when the dirty blond pressed his body close. The redhead couldn't stop the groan that burst forth when Zidane cupped him through his pants and didn't hesitate to return the kiss when the smaller male brought their lips together. After a moment they parted, panting slightly. With a soft grin Axel led the way back to the apartment, fumbling with the keys a bit when Zidane started groping him through his pants. The alcohol was really starting to get to the redhead, his vision was starting to spin and he really couldn't say how he managed to make it to the bed. Or how his clothes seemed to vanish. Or how Zidane ended up with his head buried between his legs, those soft lips wrapped around Axel's cock. What he could say was exactly how loud Roxas' scream was when he walked in.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE?!" the blond screeched.
"Roxas," Axel slurred as Zidane sat up wide eyed.
"OUT!" Roxas screamed, eyes like sapphire flames.
"But-"
"GET OUT!!"
"Calm down," Zidane tried.
"DO NOT SPEAK TO ME YOU WHORE!" Roxas turned to the other blond, "YOU'RE LUCKY I'M NOT BEATING THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF YOU!"
"I think I should leave," Zidane muttered.
"You think?" Roxas spat.
Axel and Roxas watched as Zidane gathered his things and slunk around the other blond. The redhead couldn't help but flinch when Roxas' gaze returned to him. "What the FUCK do you think you were doing?!" the blond snarled.
"Getting even," Axel replied dumbly.
"Getting even…for what?! I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO YOU!"
"Don't lie to me!" Axel yelled, standing and grabbing his underwear.
"I'm not lying! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO CHEATED!"
"I only cheated because you were cheating on me with that whore Kairi!"
"I never cheated on you!"
"I saw you!" Axel snarled, his eyes blazing, "I saw you kiss her in the coffee shop!"
Roxas took a step back, insult written all over his face. "You followed me?" he asked, "You didn't trust me enough to accept that I was setting thing right with Kairi?"
"Yeah," Axel glared, "And it's a good thing I didn't trust you. I saw you kiss her, I got pissed, I got drunk, and I got even!"
"She kissed me!" Roxas took a step forward, his hands balled into fists, "And if you were watching then you know I punched her in the face for doing that as soon as I got over the shock!"
"Don't lie to me!" Axel spat, "You just sat there!"
"Only for a moment! I was shocked!"
"…you really pushed her away?"
"No," Roxas growled, "I really punched her in the face! Get out Axel, get dressed and get out. I don't want you in my home anymore."
"Roxas I-"
"NO!" Roxas interrupted, "I don't want to hear it! We're over Axel. Get. Out."
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Roxas couldn't stop himself from feeling a little guilty for leaving Axel by himself so he could deal with Kairi, but it was for the best. Axel would just get possessive and probably end up fighting with Kairi if he came along. Roxas wasn't even certain he could stop himself from fighting with Kairi at the moment, but he had to at least try to get some closure or it would eat at him for the rest of his life. Maybe this isn't such a good idea…no, I have to do this. Axel won't mind, he may be a bit peeved right now, but it's for the best. He is the one who wanted me to get this out to begin with. I just have to survive Kairi and I'm home free. It'll just be Axel and I.
The thought of it just being him and the redhead from then on sent a thrill through the blond. And he paused as he reached his car. Why is it that I feel that way? I know I love Axel, there's no question there, but that thrill. It's strange, I can't imagine ever being with anyone else. That's really something, I never thought I'd be the type to settle down. With a slight smile the blond got in the car and drove to the coffee shop, but as soon as he pulled up his mood began to turn. Spotting Kairi waiting outside he knew exactly why. God I don't want to do this.
"Roxas!" the auburn haired girl called, waving at the blond.
Waving slightly, Roxas got out of his car and made his way dejectedly over to Kairi. "Hey," he muttered.
"Well aren't you friendly," Kairi put her hands on her hips and leaned forward slightly, "You're the one who wanted to meet after all."
"I know, I know," Roxas sighed, "I'm just tired is all."
"Okay…" she didn't sound convinced, "Well come on, let's get something to drink."
"Sure."
The pair made their way to the counter and Kairi looked at the menu board for a moment before turning to the employee behind the counter. "One large double espresso, dark chocolate, no foam frapimachino please," she ordered cheerfully, "And let me guess, you're going to have a hot chocolate?"
"No," Roxas said shortly, "A small white mocha please."
"That will be nine dollars please," the man behind the counter said dryly.
Kairi turned to look at Roxas expectantly and with a sigh he pulled out his wallet, paying for the both of them. Moving silently to the end of the counter to wait for his drink, Roxas purposefully ignored Kairi's attempts to start a conversation, mentally collecting himself and preparing what he was going to say. As soon as their drinks were ready Roxas grabbed his and lead the way over to a free couch by one of the windows. If we're where everyone can see us she won't do something she'll regret…okay, I won't do something I'll regret, but still. Why am I lying to my own mind? I'm so messed up. Sitting down Roxas began to fidget.
"Roxy," Kairi said softly, "Just say what you need to say."
"Okay…" Roxas looked up and swallowed, "I've been thinking, about what we had, and I don't ever want that back. It hurt more than anything to be with you, I didn't realize until after we broke up that simply being with you hurt. We weren't meant to be, that much is clear."
"Why can't we ever be together again?" the auburn haired girl frowned.
"I love Axel," the blond smiled softly, sipping his coffee before looking back at Kairi, "I truly love him. I want to be with him for the rest of my life, I never wanted that before. Kairi, we were never really meant to be together, you know that. We made good friends before we got together, I want that back, but I don't want anything more."
"I understand," there was a distinct note of sadness in Kairi's voice, but she smiled softly, "I had just hoped…I'm not that person anymore Roxy, I'm not some horrible girl who would cheat on the person who trusted them more than anything. I got help for the drugs, I've been clean for nearly a year now. I know what I did was cruel and I need to make it better, you know?"
"Yeah," Roxas smiled softly, looking up at her, "So we can be friends again?"
"As long as Axel doesn't mind."
"Oh he minds," Roxas laughed slightly, "He's shown he can be rather possessive, but I don't think he'll care in the long run."
"It doesn't bother you that he doesn't trust you?" Kairi said suddenly, a good natured grin on her face.
"I kind of like it," Roxas shrugged slightly as he looked at her.
"So you're that kind of guy huh?" the auburn haired girl laughed and knocked his shoulder with her own.
"And what is that supposed to mean?" the blond asked.
"You're the bottom."
"So what if I am?" Roxas said airily. This is going well, we're actually being friendly again. I would never have thought we'd get to this point ever again.
Suddenly Kairi's body language changed drastically. She leaned her chest forward, her eyes flashing and lips pouting. "You deserve to be on top," she said with a voice like silk before she leaned forward and pressed her lips to the blonde's.
Roxas froze, eyes wide, as Kairi moved her mouth against his. Part of him recognized the familiar feel of it and surrendered, but another part made him want to vomit. Realizing he wasn't reacting, Roxas drew back as is he had been struck. "What the fuck?!" he yelled, everyone in the coffee shop turning to look at him as he lashed out, punching Kairi in the nose. Wiping his mouth in disgust he stormed out, ignoring the shocked faces of those he passed.
Stomping to his car, Roxas fumbled with his keys for a moment. "What was that for?!" an angry man's voice cut through the blonde's thoughts and he turned back to see one of the people from the coffee shop glaring at him.
"I don't see how it concerns you," Roxas snapped.
"It concerns me because I'm not going to let some guy abuse his girlfriend," the man snapped.
"She's not my girlfriend," the blond growled, "She's my ex-girlfriend who cheated on me for five years, showed up out of the blue, and kissed me even though I'm with a guy right now! I'm not abusing anyone, I'm telling her I don't want her in my fucking life! And you have no right to get involved in that."
The man looked taken aback. "I didn't realize…"
"No, you didn't. Don't get involved in stuff that doesn't involve you."
Getting into the car and starting it up, the blond throws one last glare at the stunned looking man before pulling out of the parking lot. What the hell was his problem? God I need to talk to Axel. Roxas had to keep reminding himself about the speed limit as he drove back to his apartment. Quickly making his way into the apartment, the blond looked around for his redhead, frowning slightly when he couldn't find him. Sighing heavily he grabbed the phone, dialing Axel's cell number. His frown only deepened when the device went off from the kitchen counter. With a sigh he hit the call cancel button and dialed Sora's number instead.
There was a click of the phone being picked up, but Sora didn't answer right away. From a slight distance away the brunet's voice sounded. "RIKU, I NEED TO ANSWER THE PHONE, STOP PULLING ON IT! ... NO I WON'T RUN OFF, TAKE IT OFF! (2)"…"Hello?"
"…please tell me you're wearing clothes," Roxas sighed.
"Of course I am," Sora's voice was dismissive, "I wouldn't have answered the phone if Riku and I were doing unholy things to each other…he's looking at me weird."
"Sora," Roxas said seriously, "I would be looking at you weird if I were there."
"Stop it Rikuuuuu," Sora whined, "Roxas, Riku is groping me!"
"Give the phone to Riku."
"Hello Roxas, you'll have to call back as I am currently tying your brother up with a new leash and having my way with him," Riku said happily.
"I need to talk to my brother now."
"It can wait, trust me."
"Riku, I just had to go talk to Kairi, I need to speak with my brother."
Riku heaved a heavy sigh on the other end of the line, "Fine, but you owe me."
"No I don't, you owe me for that time I didn't let Sephiroth and Cloud find out you and Sora used their bed to-"
"FINE!"
"Hey Roxy!" Sora said happily as if the phone had never left his hands, "What did you need to talk to me about?"
"I just went to talk to Kairi," Roxas sighed as he plunked down on the couch.
"Ooh," Sora cringed, "How'd that go?"
"Not well, well it started out okay actually. We met for coffee, we were civil, I thought we might end up as friends again, then she kissed me."
"That whore!" Sora yelled and there was a thud as if he had leaped to his feet, "I'm going to kill her-ack!"
"Sora?!" Roxas said quickly, "Are you okay?"
"Forgot I was wearing the collar," came the breathless reply.
"Wooooow," Roxas whistled as Riku's laughter sounded in the background.
"Shut up!"
Roxas chuckled a little before clearing his throat. "Sora, you don't need to kill Kairi, I punched her in the face."
"Good for you!" Sora whooped.
"You wouldn't believe what happened after I walked out on her though."
"Ooh, do tell."
"That sounded incredibly gay," Roxas grinned slightly.
"Oh bite me-not you Riku!"
"Should I call back?" the blond asked.
"No, no, what happened after you walked out."
"Some guy came out yelling about me abusing my girlfriend."
"What? Why?"
"Well I did punch her…I guess the guy thought I was one of those abusive guys that smacks their girlfriend around."
"No offense Roxy," Sora said seriously, "But you are too small to smack anyone around."
"I can smack you around," Roxas retorted.
"I'd like to see you try!"
"When and where?"
"Oh I'm so going to beat your behind, you're not going to be able to walk once I'm done with yo-eeee!" Sora squealed slightly.
"What?"
"STOP IT RIKU I MEAN IT! I AM TALKING TO MY BROTHE-" the brunet cut off.
"…I'll call back," Roxas said as he quickly hung up.
Sighing slightly Roxas stood up and wandered around the apartment for a bit, but it seemed oddly big without Axel there to occupy himself with. Where did Axel get to anyway? He probably bopped into work for a bit…wait, did he work today? I think I'll go bug him. Roxas smiled slightly as he grabbed his car keys again and headed out. Ten minutes later he walked into the restaurant that Axel worked at and got an evil glare from Larxene.
"And what are you doing here?" she asked shortly.
"I'm looking for Axel…" Roxas said hesitantly, "I couldn't remember if he worked today or not."
"He doesn't work today," Larxene frowned slightly, "You need to find him and explain yourself though."
"What? Why?" the blond male asked.
"He thinks you're considering going back to some Kairi girl," Larxene shrugged.
"I just told Kairi I never want to see her again, I don't want anything to do with her. And how did you know about that anyway?"
"Axel called me earlier, when you were heading off to meet with her. He's really annoying…insecure…whatever. I'm working Roxy, can you call me later if you wanna talk or am I going to have to get Marly out here?"
"I'm going, I'm going," Roxas chuckled and waved as he turned and left.
He probably just went out to cool down or walk around or something. I should just go home and wait for Axel to show up. Humming slightly to himself, Roxas got back in his car and headed towards his apartment again. He made fairly good time, but once he got to his apartment door he froze. Something was off, the door was unlocked and he knew he had locked it when he left. A slight smile touched his lips as he realized Axel must have returned home while he was gone. Pushing the door open Roxas peered around, not seeing the redhead. Dropping his keys on the counter Roxas stilled, a rather suspicious sound reaching his ears. Walking towards the source of the sound, the blond couldn't help the sinking feeling in his stomach as he realized it was from the bedroom.
Feeling slightly numb, the blond pushed open the bedroom door and went numb to his core. There was Axel, eyes closed and pleasure written on his face as a small, dirty blond lowered his head, taking the redhead's length into his mouth.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE?!" Roxas screeched.
"Roxas," Axel slurred as the dirty blond jumped into a sitting position.
"OUT!" Roxas screamed, anger pulsing through his veins.
"But-" Axel tried
"GET OUT!!"
"Calm down," the small male sitting on Roxas' bed said shakily.
"DO NOT SPEAK TO ME YOU WHORE!" Roxas turned to the other blond, "YOU'RE LUCKY I'M NOT BEATING THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF YOU!"
"I think I should leave."
"You think?" Roxas spat.
Axel and Roxas watched as the other blond gathered his things and slunk around his fuming counterpart. Axel flinched slightly when Roxas turned his gaze back to him and a small part of the blond cackled gleefully. "What the FUCK do you think you were doing?!" the blond snarled.
"Getting even," Axel replied dumbly.
"Getting even…for what?! I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO YOU!"
"Don't lie to me!" Axel yelled, standing and grabbing his underwear.
"I'm not lying! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO CHEATED!"
"I only cheated because you were cheating on me with that whore Kairi!" Axel suddenly seemed a little more certain of himself.
"I never cheated on you!"
"I saw you!" Axel snarled, his eyes blazing, "I saw you kiss her in the coffee shop!"
Roxas took a step back, the insult that he wasn't trusted ripping through him. "You followed me?" he asked, "You didn't trust me enough to accept that I was setting thing right with Kairi?"
"Yeah," Axel glared, "And it's a good thing I didn't trust you. I saw you kiss her, I got pissed, I got drunk, and I got even!"
"She kissed me!" Roxas took a step forward, his hands balled into fists as he seethed, "And if you were watching then you know I punched her in the face for doing that as soon as I got over the shock!"
"Don't lie to me!" Axel spat, "You just sat there!"
"Only for a moment! I was shocked!"
"…you really pushed her away?"
"No," Roxas growled, "I really punched her in the face! Get out Axel, get dressed and get out. I don't want you in my home anymore."
"Roxas I-"
"NO!" Roxas interrupted, "I don't want to hear it! We're over Axel. Get. Out."

Me: Please, please, please don't kill me. I'm not done yet. There are 3 more chapters to go. I'm not leaving it at this. I'm working on the next 3 chapters right now. I'm going to try to get the next chapter out by Saturday, then the next 2 chapters have to be put out at the same time so it'll be a few days after that for the rest. But the goal is to have this all done by next Saturday. You have no idea how evil I felt when I switched from Axel to Roxas for this chapter. I felt like scum. I had to keep reminding myself how it's going to end in order to get through. Just ask ilovecats86, she and I were chatting when I switched. So now I'm going to work on the next chapter, please review, they make me happy. Feel free to flame me, I deserve it.
