disclaimer: Yep. Don't own this. Shocker, I know. And here you all thought I was legit Nomura.
A/N: So… I am always getting these AkuRiku ideas. So here is where I'm going to put a lot of them. The AkuRiku fanfiction is seriously lacking. Gotta fix it.

Morning-afters are difficult.

Riku blinked, opening his eyes to the too-bright sun shining in the large window to his dorm room. He had a bitter taste in his mouth and he was sluggish – which was the biggest hangover he ever had. Oh no… his head was throbbing a bit. Okay he had way too much to drink last night if his head was hurting.

That's when he noticed he was too low to the ground. His bed was bunked and he was definitely not in his bed. As he became more aware, he felt an arm draped around his chest and a body pressed up against his side. A very naked body against his very naked body. Riku turned his head slowly and was met with a face-full of brilliant red hair.

Especially a morning after with a roommate.

Well this answered a few questions. Why wasn't he in his bed? Because he was in Axel's bed. Why was he in Axel's bed? Because they must have had sex. Why was his head throbbing? Because he blacked out last night and somehow alcohol had convinced him it was fucking fantastic idea to fuck his roommate.

Perfect.

"Axel," Riku tried to say. His voice was a little raspy so he tried again, "Axel." The redhead stirred a bit, only pulling a bit closer to the silveret in his sleep. Riku puffed air out in frustration. "Axel, wake up you fucker!"

"Mmm… five more minutes," Axel groaned, nuzzling his face into Riku's neck. Riku's temper spiked a bit at that and he wiggled his arms up between his body and Axel's face, shoving the older man away. "Hey!"

"Stop touching me," Riku spat at him.

Axel made a face, his eyes still closed as his head fell onto the pillow. "If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, I'd be—" He cut off abruptly, snapping his head up and his eyes popping open. "Riku, what the hell are you doing in my bed?"

Riku glared at him as he watched realization crept onto Axel's expression. "Oh shit…" he muttered.

"Oh shit is right," Riku growled, throwing the blanket away from him as he swung his legs over Axel's bed. He scanned the room for his pants, and saw they were on the other side of the room. Jesus Christ.

As Riku stood to retrieve his pants he heard Axel chuckle. "Nice ass, 'Ku."

Riku almost spun around and hit the redhead for using that nickname, but thought better of it at the last second. He stepped into his pants and only as he buttoned them did he turn to glare at the other man. "Well you look like shit," he said.

It was true. Axel looked like hell. His hair was a mess and his face looked drained. "Can you stop yelling at me?" Axel asked, flopping back over to cover his ears. "I feel like shit. How can you not? You drank more than me!"

Riku shook his head and didn't answer. First, no one drank more than Axel. Second, Riku could hold his alcohol very well and his body, apparently, didn't do hangovers. "Do you remember what happened at all?" he asked, leaning against the ladder that went up to his bed.

Axel shook his head. "No I—" he stopped and leaned over his bed. "I'm gonna barf. Riku, I'm going to barf."

Riku lurched up from the ladder, snatching the trashcan by Axel's desk. He threw it underneath the man's face just in time for Axel to heave up whatever contents were in his stomach. The silveret grimaced and set the can down, moving his hands to comb red hair back from the onslaught of sick that was happening. This wasn't the first time he'd had to hold Axel's hair back. This man could not hold his alcohol and had the worst hangovers of all time.

He sighed as Axel began to only dry heave. "You done?" he asked.

The redhead held up a finger, keeping his head firmly over the can. For a few seconds he stayed that way, and then he spit, pulling back. "Yeah… okay yeah I'm done," he nodded, moving to rest his head on his pillow.

"I'm taking it that you don't remember what happened then," Riku frowned.

Axel shook his head. "I remember the party. And I remember drinking. And… yeah that's it." He glanced at Riku. "I have to pee."

Riku blinked at him. "Fuck you."

So they had to make a trip down the hall to the bathroom (not before finding the redhead some pants). Axel wasn't doing his best as supporting himself, and Riku was not fond of the idea of helping a grown ass man relieve himself. "What's the big deal, princess?" Axel asked cheekily. "You just saw it a few seconds ago and obviously there must not have been much complaining about it last night."

Riku almost dropped him right there in the middle of the hallway.

When they got back to the room, Axel flopped down onto the bed and then groaned. "That was a bad idea. I should not have done that," he said, rubbing his head.

Riku sighed and opened one of his drawers, pulling out a few ibuprofen pills and handing them to Axel. "I think we still have some Eggos left." He opened the mini fridge, flipping the place for the freezer. He pulled out the box and emptied two Eggo waffles onto a plate, tossing them into the microwave. He turned back to the redhead only to dart forward and cover his mouth. "Do not take those before you eat something, you idiot. It'll make you sick."

Axel moved his head away and poked his lips out in one of his 'manly pouts'. "But my heaaaad," he moaned.

"Unless you want to barf again and feel worse than you already do, fucking wait. I don't want to have to take care of you more than I already am." Riku turned back to the microwave as it beeped and shoved the plate of heated food into Axel's hands.

"I don't understand why you are acting like this is the worst situation you could've gotten into," Axel shrugged, taking a big bite out of one of the waffles. "So what? We fucked. It's not a big deal, 'Ku."

"Stop calling me that," Riku growled, plopping down onto the futon that was placed under his bunked bed. "Axel we're roommates. And unless you forgot, you kind of suck—"

"Yeah I do," he interrupted with a smirk.

"Shut up." Riku glared at his roommate.

"Oh lighten up, Riku! It's just sex." He shot a smirk to the silveret, one of his cheeks full of food. "And when you think about it, it's kind of convenient."

"Convenient?" Riku deadpanned.

Axel nodded as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Yeah I mean, obviously I'm sexy." He gestured to himself. "And I mean, you're not so bad looking yourself," he grinned.

Riku scoffed. "You are such a bastard."

"What I'm saying," Axel continued pointedly, "is that fuck buddies are convenient. Fuck roommates are better."

Riku blinked. "I'm sorry. But that sounded a hell of a lot like you were saying we should fuck sober."

Axel shrugged and swallowed the last bit of his first waffle. "I'm a guy, Riku. I get horny and there is not always another gay guy that wants to help me relieve my needs." He smirked. "I just got lucky and got this hot roommate who is also into guys. And now the line of fucking has been crossed," he shrugged again, "so I say we keep on truckin'."

Riku shook his head. This was ridiculous. "You do realize that we live together, right?"

"Exactly," Axel pointed at him, his mouth full of food. "So we don't even have to call each other."

"Axel, we aren't friends," Riku said bluntly.

"Well then we don't have a friendship to fuck up, do we?" he retorted, downing the last of his waffle. "Fuck, I'm thirsty."

Riku threw him the water bottle that was sitting on his desk almost immediately. "Take your damn medicine," he glowered.

Axel grinned and chugged some of the water before popping the pills into his mouth and swallowing those too. "I would just like to point out, that you haven't said no."

Riku paused. He hadn't. And it wasn't because he thought it was a good idea. This was one of the worst ideas he'd ever heard – and he was a friend to Sora, so he heard plenty. But Axel had a point. It was a bit harder to have any kind of relief when he shared a room with someone – and a public shower was a big no. And it wasn't like there was a plethora of gay guys or single girls – single girls looking for a quick hook up anyway – around.

"Wouldn't it be nice to have me to get you off, instead of trying to do it silently while I'm asleep?" Axel egged him on, seeing Riku thinking.

Riku glared. "I do not do that."

Axel laughed. "It's just masturbating, Riku. All guys have to do it."

"Do you touch yourself while I'm sleeping?" Riku shot back.

"No," Axel replied. "What do you take me for? Some kind of pervert?"

Riku rolled his eyes and shook his head. "This might be the worst idea I've ever heard."

Axel sighed and wiggled off the bed. He went to stand in front of Riku, a bit too close for the silveret's taste. "Look, this is just about fucking. Just two guys that might need a quickie in between classes."

"In between classes—" Riku started to say but was abruptly cut off by Axel slamming his lips down onto his. Startled, Riku didn't respond and before his brain had a chance to catch up, the redhead was pulling away.

"Just fucking, Riku," Axel continued. "It doesn't have to be nice. It doesn't have to be the best. It can just get us off, and that'll be all we need." Lips on lips again, Axel's tongue pressing against Riku's closed mouth. "No strings. Just sex. It isn't hard. It's just physical. And considering," Axel ran his hands up Riku's bare arms and chest, "these muscles, I'd say you are pretty good at the physical."

Riku pursed his lips. "Are you still drunk?"

Axel shrugged, and then grabbed Riku's forearms to turn him towards an empty wall. He pushed the silveret up against it, pressing his body to Riku's. "Maybe," he allowed. "But I don't think I could ever be drunk or hung-over enough to not enjoy sex."

Then his lips were back on Riku's, nudging the shorter male's mouth open. For a few moments, it was just Axel's lips and tongue working against an immobile Riku. But when the redhead's hands trailed over Riku's body, one going down to dip into his jeans, Riku forgot that this was the worst idea and moved back.

-end.

And this is the first of many. Requests are welcome!
